Farming and Embroidery

I am also drunk by the people who are complaining about the Zhang family. The family's annual income is no more than the sister-in-law's embroidery work. She spent all her money to buy land for her nephew to study and redeem her second brother's life. Isn't this good enough? How come she has to support her brother and sister-in-law's family.

About Zhang This book review will not talk about whether the heroine is a Mary Sue, but only about the description of Zhang in the book. Zhang's changes are not sudden, and there are traces to follow. When Zhang was ignored for her first trial, she was still a daughter-in-law who cared about her son and husband, and was willing to listen to the teachings of the elderly (her mother's family and her husband's family). But from here on, the bomb has been planted. Of course, the Li family, especially the eldest brother of the Li family, had a problem with her attitude towards her, that is, cold violence. The eldest brother of the Li family is a typical farmer, dull and taciturn. He is not familiar with teaching his son in person and teaching his wife behind his back, but when his wife has a problem, he is directly indifferent to it. It can be said that as a husband, he is very unqualified. Even Li's mother broke it down and told it to Zhang. As a husband, Li Da can only be cold and violent... After the first incident, the Li family still did not take away Zhang's private money. The second turning point should be when Zhang started doing business. The profit-oriented side of Zhang's character has been well hidden by poverty before. Being profit-oriented is not a bad thing, but when the food stall magnified this side, the conflict between her and the Li family quickly intensified. Whether it was her sister-in-law's money to buy a shop or her sister-in-law's purchase of pens and ink for her nephew, Zhang took it for granted. Coupled with her neglect of the elderly, she finally angered the Li family. Before Zhang made money, the heroine supported her nephew, and the old man wouldn't say anything. But when Zhang made money, he still plotted against others and even ignored and despised the old man. It was especially unbearable in the context of filial piety. In fact, even in modern times, as a husband or daughter-in-law, neglecting the elderly in the other party's family will cause serious family conflicts, not to mention the ancient times where the three obediences and four virtues were very important. It is not that the three obediences and four virtues are very good, but in this context, if Zhang behaves like this, being divorced is an inevitable outcome. This time, the Li family chose to divorce her and return her double dowry. There is a detail here, saying that when the Zhang family's dowry was being counted, Zhang's money had been spent a lot since she had been married into the Li family for many years. Could it be that all the money was spent for herself? Perhaps only Zhang can understand this feeling. Regarding Zhang's third turning point, perhaps it was when she was waiting for her husband in her natal family. Basically, Mrs. Zhang has become extreme here. Scissors asked for food for her biological son, and her expression has become so hateful that people can't even sympathize with her.

This person is really becoming more and more greedy. It's a courtesy for others to help you, and it's a duty not to help you, and that's what you should do. You can't always ask others to help you. It is not wrong for Qiaolan not to help Sanniang, because Sanniang has become more distant, and Sanniang feels that she is smart and others are stupid. Little does she know that others have seen through her greed and told Qiaolan to stay away from her, so Qiaolan is unwilling to help her. This is human nature. She blames others for not helping her, but does not think that her own demands are too much. While complaining about his father's preference for boys over girls, he is afraid that he will give birth to a girl, but he doesn't want to think that he is also the same preference for boys over girls. The preference for boys over girls is not terrible. What is terrible is that you can't see yourself clearly. You feel that it is always others who are wrong and you are always right. Are the state officials only allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps? How ridiculous! There are often people like this in life. They can never see their own faults. They only see the faults of others. Even if others are right, they still have to find faults. This is a typical white lotus. Many people think that Qiaolan is easy to be soft-hearted, but such people will become strong if they have their own bottom line and persistence. People with bottom line will develop many different personalities in different environments. Qiaolan's ears are soft because she is pampered by someone, so she can be willful because she knows that someone will be there to help her. This is normal because many people are like this. But once she encounters difficulties and no one helps her, she will become stronger and try her best to solve it. This can be seen from her early embroidery pictures. She knows that if she does not produce a satisfactory work, she will not get the princess's attention, and her family's life will not get better, so even if she knows that it will break her body, she still has to persist, because this is the only thing she can do, so I think she is a person with a bottom line, and she knows what she wants. Even if Qiaolan plots, it is still a conspiracy. She is different from Sanniang. Sanniang's plot is still a conspiracy against one of her own people. Qiaolan is also different from Zhang. Mrs. Zhang is selfish. Mrs. Zhang understands that Qiaolan is good to her family, but because of Xuewen's partiality, neglect of her, and emphasis on Qiaolan, these obvious differential treatments made Zhang go further and further away, and in the end she could not look back. In fact, Zhang's biggest mistake was that she wouldn't say it clearly and openly, because only in this way would Xuewen discover her own mistakes and correct them... At first I thought Qiaolan was a bit of a bad person, but then I figured it out. If we once lived in a good environment (society), and you live in a bad life (society) again, and there is an obvious contrast, you will feel that they can live a better life, and you will want to help them. The book says that Qiaolan traveled through time. She once had a bad life (modern studies), then lived a good material life (repairing cultural relics), and then others gave her the spiritual life she always wanted (before time travel, before getting married), and then got the love she had never had before (after getting married). Under these circumstances , she is also changing. She has lived a modern life, so she wants to give her family a better life. After she gives birth to a child, her heart will become softer and she will go to the northwest because her husband is also in the northwest. She sees families that have been separated and broken up due to the war, so she wants to help these lovely soldiers. She can send food, cotton clothes and quilts. She can help those lovely people and open a store in the northwest. On the one hand, it can make those people live a more dignified life. On the other hand, she needs people to help her, but it does not mean that she can be plotted, so Sanniang plotted against the wrong person. Maybe it wasn't the calculation that was wrong, but greed that drove her to do these things against Qiaolan. Qiaolan is surrounded by so many people, not only because of her kindness (she is not the only kind person in the world), but also because she has her own bottom line. She is a person who lives in the sun and simply does what others did not dare to do. We all long for sunshine, so we work hard to get close to people who have sunshine.

Generally, people who do embroidery will not do menial work easily, but the heroine often cuts pig grass and other things. Can she still embroider with thick hands?

The prices are weird.

When entering the courtyard on the fifth day, you need to know some common sense. In ancient times, courtyards were not built casually. What status and official position were called were what one's worth was. Although it is a novel, it must be based on common sense. In ancient times, the wealthy squires were used to guide one party.

Suddenly I have a question. All the girls in the book make purses and sell them to supplement their family income. Who are they selling these purses to? They are not disposable purses made of paper. How can there be such a big demand 🤔

After reading a few chapters, the prices in it are random. The author can write as much as he wants. Some people may have said that this is just for fun. Yes, you can't go too far for fun. In Dream of the Red Mansions, Grandma Liu went to Jia's house for the first time and took twenty taels, saying that this is enough for our farmer family to live for a year. This book is good. The heroine just started embroidery to make money, and she can pay 60 taels a year to her family. She can also buy land and build a house. I really can't accept it.

[Emphasis added] Hui Wen is a work in Red Mansions where a woman named Hui is named Hui Wen. After her death, she is called Hui Wen. The author is not writing a continuation of The Red Mansions. The heroine is not dead even if her name is not Hui. Can Hui Wen not be used indiscriminately? ! The prices are also random. For example, a man works for 50 taels a day, and selling rice at the dock is very affordable for 10 or 20 fen a meal... A woman helps for 30 fen a month, normally 20 fen a month... The land is 2 to 5 taels per mu, and the three brothers and sisters each pay 5 taels a month... Two acres of land a month? Even if the prices are too chaotic to watch, the plot is also forced. Is the heroine supposed to be thirty or thirteen? The little white rabbit who pretends to be innocent when she is thirty and doesn't understand anything 😰 The emotional intelligence is also very touching. Isn't Mr. Li good to her family? In the past, when he suspected that the young lady wanted to harm her, he would burst into laughter, give him a mocking look, and say, "I was angry with you before because..." Do you really think of yourself as a fairy? Xiaosheng bb Xiangyun yarn is opaque, so don't use it to embroider double-sided embroidery, okay?

The price of writing a book makes me speechless. One tael of gold is worth eight taels of silver, five hundred taels of gold is worth four thousand taels of silver. Where did the heroine's family get so much silver? Her grandma had so much money, no matter how hard she hid it, she wouldn't have hid it like this, and she didn't sell that much embroidery. The men went out to work for 50 taels of silver a day, and when Mrs. Wang helped the heroine and sister-in-law and took care of a baby, it became 20 taels of silver a month... A rabbit cost 70 taels of silver, so how many rabbits and eggs could be sold for twenty or thirty taels of silver? It makes me feel awkward and I want to give up.
