Ten years of film queen, finally became a top star

Chapter 189 A bright future

"Why do you want to tattoo your name on your hand?"

Tattoos are not uncommon in modern society, but most of them are patterns or beliefs, and the names tattooed are usually other people's names. Yu Jiang really wants to know what it feels like to tattoo your own name.

"Because my previous name was Li Zhaodi."

Li Yunxia's reply was still brief, and it could be said that she quickly ended the topic that Yu Jiang had finally found.

The three words "Li Zhaodi" clearly let people know why Li Yunxia tattooed her name on her hand.

This must have been an unhappy experience. Yu Jiang was not a journalist, so he would not do anything to dig out people's pain points.

Perhaps noticing her embarrassment, Li Yunxia thought for a moment and then told her story in a very low voice.

"I have a younger sister and a younger brother. When I was thirteen, my family wanted to arrange a marriage for me, so I stole the household registration booklet and ran away."

It was another short sentence, but it seemed to describe all the misfortunes of her childhood.

Getting engaged at the age of thirteen was something Yu Jiang could hardly imagine. She also found it difficult to understand how a penniless thirteen-year-old girl could survive in society.

"Then what about your schooling?" After she asked, she felt that her question was meaningless.

For a junior high school girl to become independent, it would be difficult for her to make a living, so naturally she would drop out of school.

"I graduated from primary school, but I haven't got my junior high school diploma yet." Li Yunxia added, "Our factory doesn't have any requirements for academic qualifications."

"That's good." Yu Jiang was afraid that saying too much would hurt her, so he just said it to encourage her.

There was silence again, and after a long while she couldn't help but ask, "What are your plans for the future? Is there any room for promotion in our position?"

She looks less than 20 years old. She can't keep working as a machine in the factory. She will be replaced sooner or later.

Speaking of the future, a hint of joy finally emerged on Li Yunxia's dead face.

"My boyfriend also works in our factory. We want to save some money first, and then go back to his hometown to open a small shop when we are old enough to get married."

For young people like them who have no education, the best way to save money is to work in a factory.

The working hours in the factory are quite full, food and accommodation are provided, and there is basically no opportunity to spend money, so it is relatively easy to save money.

No matter what, Yu Jiang was very happy for Li Yunxia when he heard that she had plans for the future.

"Then how long will you wait before getting married? Is your boyfriend younger?"

"I'm eighteen this year, and my boyfriend is twenty. We both have exactly two years before we can get married. I think we'll have saved enough money in two years, and by then..."

When it comes to this topic, Li Yunxia's answer is no longer as brief as before.

Her face was full of longing for her future life, leaving the place where she had an unhappy childhood and going to her boyfriend's hometown.

Buy a house in that not-so-big town and run a small shop together. You don’t need to make too much money, just enough for the two of you to live on.

In another two years, when everything is back on track, they will give birth to a new life together.

Regardless of whether the future child is a boy or a girl, she and her husband will treat it equally and give their all to give the child the best life.

Even if she has a daughter in the future, she will agree to let her daughter go to school and will arrange a blind date for her when she is eighteen years old.

As Li Yunxia continued her story, Yu Jiang seemed to see the happy couple in the small shop in the town.

She was happy for her from the bottom of her heart. No matter what happened in the past, she had the opportunity to start over and was on the road to a new life.

"I'm sorry, did I talk too much?" Li Yunxia reacted with a little panic. Her line leader had told her to talk less during the recording of the show.

Yu Jiang, who finally had something to talk about, quickly waved his hands, "No! I like listening to you talk about these things. You will definitely be very happy in the future."

Li Yunxia smiled shyly, "I am very happy now. My boyfriend treats me very well and usually doesn't hit me."

“???” Why did Yu Jiang feel that there was something wrong with these words?

After hesitating for a moment, she still wanted to add a question, "So has your boyfriend ever hit you?"

Unexpectedly, Li Yunxia nodded as a matter of course, "We have been in love for more than two years, how can we not quarrel? He didn't really hit me, he just got angry."

Yu Jiang felt that his three views were shattered in an instant, and for a moment he didn't know whether she was abnormal or Li Yunxia was abnormal.

"Dear, as far as I know, you won't get beaten in a normal relationship, not even once. If you're in a relationship like this, won't you be subjected to domestic violence after you get married?"

Li Yunxia seemed not to understand what she said. She blinked and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with a husband disciplining his wife? As long as the man still loves his wife, this family will not break up."

After hearing this, Yu Jiang felt even more sorry for her. What kind of family would make her have such an understanding?

Maybe it’s because we have been seeing and hearing such things since we were young, and over time, we have come to take things that are wrong for granted.

A few words won't change her formed ideas. Everyone has their own cognition due to different experiences.

Instead of forcing her to tell her how wrong her ideas are, it is better to respect the world she knows.

Knowing that he couldn't change anything, Yu Jiang felt a pang of sadness in his heart. In fact, Li Yunxia should have lived a better life.

A person who has the courage to run away from home, a person who is able to support herself at the age of thirteen, a little girl who still looks forward to the future, her life should not be like this.

She has just become an adult. If it weren't for the wrong ideas she acquired in her childhood, she would have been able to go further and live a better life.

Eighteen years old might be enough to change her lifestyle, but it was too late to change her deeply rooted ideas.

Just like she said just now, she won’t care about the gender of her child in the future, but because of her childhood experiences, she will definitely be extremely sensitive to the concept of “gender”.

Another extreme, perhaps, but more likely a continuation of her parents' attitude.

It may not be as extreme as what she experienced, but because she has only seen this one concept, she will only have this one concept.

What she saw destined her mind to be trapped there forever, unable to move, in the isolated little village of her childhood.

Just like Yu Jiang never believed that it was possible to get engaged at the age of thirteen or that it was possible to live in an unfinished building.

Li Yunxia also firmly believes that her husband buys medicine for her after beating her, agrees to let her daughter go to school, and arranges a marriage for her when she turns 18. This is already the best life a woman can live.

The difference in perspectives means that the worlds they see are completely different.

What Yu Jiang considers suffering is the best future for Li Yunxia.
