After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Chapter 232 Refusing to admit defeat

Later, they learned a lot and admired this female teacher even more, because her teaching methods were different.

Instead of teaching them to read right away, she spent several days telling them about her travels and customs in the outside world, which sparked their curiosity about the outside world.

After telling these stories, she didn't immediately preach any profound truths to them. Instead, she began to teach them to read.

These girls gradually fell in love with learning under the guidance of their female teacher. In their view, once they learned a lot of words, they could read books and learn about the outside world from them.

This is one of the reasons why they work so hard; every time they finish school, they would pester the female teacher to tell them more stories.

However, this was different for Huilan, who had a family. She only thought about making money. She listened to the stories with great interest, but she got a headache when she tried to study and couldn't concentrate no matter what.

For this kind of person, their son is both their weakness and their motivation to learn!

So when they mentioned her son, she stopped crying, wiping away her tears as she firmly said, "Yes! I want to save money for Xiaobao so we can live a good life!"

With this motivation, Huilan studied even harder, asking her teacher and the women in her room whenever she didn't understand something.

Gao Lianzhu visited them in the courtyard several times and was very satisfied with their learning environment.

When Gao Lianzhu came to the courtyard, the female teacher naturally knew. She told the girls to study on their own first, and then chatted with Gao Lianzhu outside the house.

"I didn't lie to you! These women are more or less here because of this month's money. Their motives are not pure, but their hearts are very firm."

"I'm very curious, who came up with such a method?"

“This person…” Gao Lianzhu paused, gazing at the woman learning to write under the eaves, and slowly said, “She’s amazing!”

The female teacher exclaimed in surprise, "No one would call someone a 'god'!"

Gao Lianzhu laughed heartily, "If you met her, you would definitely feel the same way."

The female teacher raised an eyebrow. "Is this person a man or a woman?"

"Is it important?"

The female teacher laughed along, “It’s not important. But if it really isn’t important, why does everyone impose restrictions on women?”

"you mean?"

"I wouldn't claim to be an expert in everything, but I consider myself quite learned. However, no academy is willing to let me teach. It's rare to find one. Students address other teachers by their surname and then 'Master,' but I..." The female teacher turned to look at Gao Lianzhu and said very softly, "Female Master..."

Gao Lianzhu was startled by her extremely soft words, and her eyes flickered.

"I'm sorry, Huaixi..."

Huai Xi stopped laughing and simply closed her eyes. "Originally, you asked me to teach these women, but I didn't want to come. Women are the last thing I want to teach. If I give them hope, they will only suffer more in the end. Do you understand?"

Gao Lianzhu didn't understand before, but now she seems to understand.

The environment dictates that women can only live this way. If she really teaches women to read, write, and discover the world, they will eventually find that women's "living space" is so small. Will they then break down?

Their small power cannot change this deeply entrenched world, which is undoubtedly a painful abyss for them, and even more so, a cruelty.

She didn't want these women to stand at the entrance to the abyss, watching helplessly as they were swallowed up and buried bit by bit.

So even though many wealthy families wanted her to tutor their daughters, she never agreed.

Once she began to clearly realize this, she could no longer be a teacher and educator, and gradually closed herself off.

By the time Gao Lianzhu found her, she was destitute and starving, lying in her bare home.

What truly moved me about Gao Lianzhi was her statement: "Whether you do it right or wrong, you have to try. If you don't even try, you can only fail."

Although Gao Lianzhu didn't know Huaixi's true thoughts at the time and was just talking nonsense, Huaixi actually listened to him and agreed to teach him.

Little did she know that she wouldn't want to listen to someone preaching profound truths, but Gao Lianzhu knew nothing about it, yet she was sincere.

No one knows, and no one asks, whether these women want to numbly watch themselves being swallowed by the abyss, or to be swallowed while fully conscious, even if they have to struggle to get out of the abyss.

A sudden silence fell between them, with only the chirping of birds in the treetops audible.

Gao Lianzhu suddenly turned her gaze to Huilan. "Actually, I didn't understand her intentions at first. When Huilan came to the bookstore and said she wanted to work there, I wanted to refuse because I saw the greed of all the common women on her face. I don't like people like that. But then I suddenly remembered what she said."

"What did you say?" Huaixi looked at her curiously.

"Actually, the answer has already been given. They are greedy and have the mentality of common people. If this money can attract them to study, that will be enough."

Isn't this a significant step forward? So what if we have a purpose? As long as the ultimate goal is achieved, that's all that matters.

“I wrote to her about what I did, and she didn’t question me; instead, she thought I did the right thing.”

A few days ago, Gao Lianzhu wrote a letter to Ye Yuwu, telling him about the recent events.

Ye Yuwu wasn't traveling fast, so she received the envelope quickly.

Ye Yuwu immediately wrote back to Gao Lianzhu. It was Ye Yuwu's encouraging words that strengthened Gao Lianzhu's resolve.

Huai Xi didn't expect Gao Lianzhu's tone to change so quickly, and for a moment she couldn't figure out what she wanted to say.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I want to establish a girls' school!"

"What?!" Huai Xi was amazed by her bold idea, but she quickly calmed down.

"It's impossible to succeed, I've tried."

Daughters from wealthy or official families could not be sent to private schools; instead, they would usually hire tutors to come to their homes to teach them.

Children from poor families would never be willing to send their daughters out to study, even if they were not required to study.

Huai Xi shared her thoughts with Gao Lianzhu, who calmed down and said, "I'll think about it carefully when the time comes."

Although Huai Xi had only known her for a short time, he had already figured out her personality. Gao Lianzhu was someone who was unwilling to admit defeat and would not give up until she hit a wall.

However, Huaixi also admired her very much, so he was very curious about the person she kept mentioning, and wondered if he would have the chance to meet this person.

Gao Lianzhu returned to her room, feeling frustrated no matter what she thought about, so she picked up her pen and wrote a letter.

The next day, someone was sent to deliver the letter to the road to the border early in the morning.
