Her father hated her, hated it to the extreme.
Since she was born, no matter how good her grades were, it was her father's pain. Because she is a girl and not a boy, every time she gets a certificate of study, she slaps her dad in the face. What can a daughter do if she is so capable, if only her son is so strong.
Old Xie's family is just patriarchal, men are masters and women are slaves. Xie Wanying remembers it very well. Every year when the big family eats during the Spring Festival, all the Xie family's daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law are not allowed to eat at the main table, and they all eat in the kitchen. Only men and sons and grandchildren can eat, drink and have fun at the table.
She wants to be a doctor, a surgeon that can only be done by a man, because she wants to fight for herself, for her mother, for all the women in Lao Xie's family, and for all the despised women in this place.
What your man can do, my girl can do as well.
Xie Wanying looked at her father with a pair of eyes, and her eyes were firm.
Xie Changrong couldn't help swallowing saliva in his throat: "How dare you stare at your father!"
Xie Wanying who didn't speak, turned around directly.
Seeing this, Xie Changrong raised his hand.
"Don't hit her, why are you hitting her!" Sun Rongfang grabbed his arm.
"What you taught is the naughty son you taught, who will stare at her father."
"She didn't—"
"Why not? Let me explain my ugly words to you mother and daughter first. She won't be admitted to college this time, so marry me!"
"It's just that she can't get into college. Yingying has always had good grades." Sun Rongfang jumped in anxiety, her voice was hoarse and she was about to cry.
Xie Changrong became happy when he saw that his wife was about to cry, and felt that the game had been reversed: "I know she will never pass the exam. You will cry a lot then. Then you must listen to me and my dad honestly, go to get married."
After saying this, Xie Changrong raised his head and went out triumphantly.
Sun Rongfang whimpered, sat on the chair and touched her eyes.
Taking out the Sunkist orange, Xie Wanying cut it up and gave it to her mother: "Mom, let's eat it ourselves, don't give it to others, and don't pay attention to what they say."
Sun Rongfang was not in the mood to eat, all she knew was that everyone said her daughter would not pass the exam.
"Mom, take a bite, you have to trust me. If Dad doesn't give me money to study, it doesn't matter. I will work to earn my tuition." Xie Wanying squatted down in front of her mother, and brought the orange to her mouth.
Xie Wanying stuffed oranges into her mother's mouth.
She knew that it was not easy for her mother, so she must change the fate of herself and her mother, and change her mother's position in this family.
Seeing her daughter's eyes, Sun Rongfang couldn't recover for a long time.
The next few days before the college entrance examination at home seemed to be calm, but everyone knew that this was just the prelude before the storm.
On the night before the exam, Xie Wanying flipped through a medical and surgical book stored at home with a flashlight.
A tattered book whose cover has been eaten by moths for a long time. This was brought back by her mother when she went to the countryside as an educated youth. When Sun Rongfang was in the village, she was sent to the health center to help as a hygienist. She also thought about studying medicine, but she met her father later, and her dream was gone.
She decided to take this book to the capital to study medicine.
While sleeping with the book under her pillow, she had a dream. The knowledge in the book in the dream became a real scene, a clear picture of the operation appeared in front of her eyes, and the scalpel in her hand moved by itself.
When I sat up in bed in the morning, the dream from last night was still clearly visible.
This is—was she given any new skills after rebirth? Xie Wanying looked at her two hands, lost in thought.
