She Live Streams Modern Life to Ancient People After Failing to Conquer the Emperor

Chapter 43

"Instead of crying and whining here and just shaking your head asking what to do, you should take a stand and make a decision."

"Stop fantasizing about having both. If you want family love, you must get married. If you want freedom, you must be cruel. Those who don't love you will never love you, no matter how much suffering and hardship you endure!"

"What exactly are you thinking? Do you want to get married for family love, or do you want to study for yourself?"

After being scolded by Gu Sang, the girl stood there in a daze.

Her gaze became even more conflicted.

Her parents had raised her for twenty years, and she could not completely let go of her family ties. What girls lacking love desire most in their hearts is parental love.

As long as their parents give them even a little bit of affection, just a little, no matter how wrong they know it is, they will go along with it unconditionally!

They truly cannot do it! They cannot cut ties with their parents!

Otherwise...

Where would this ancient China have so many girls being leeched off by their own families?

Deep down, they know they shouldn't, but they deceive themselves and gladly accept it!

"You ill-mannered dead wench, what nonsense are you spouting? We are her parents, and we're doing it for her own good! She dares to try cutting us with a knife?"

"And call the police? Pfft! As expected, too much studying turns them all into white-eyed wolves!"

"Why are you still standing there? You worthless money-wasting goods, come here and obediently go home and get married."

The woman, who had remained silent until now, was enraged.

She scolded Gu Sang with a torrent of abuse, then rushed over in a few strides, grabbed the girl's arm, and tried to drag her out.

The girl's eyes were filled with fear. She violently pushed the woman's body away and ran outside in a panic.

Seeing this, the couple glared angrily at Gu Sang.

Then they hurried after her.

The woman wailed at the girl's retreating back, "Oh my! Our daughter has grown up and started hitting her mother!"

"We toiled to raise you for twenty years! Through all the diapers and feedings, we raised you to this age. When you had a fever as a child, I braved the rain and rode a bicycle ten kilometers to take you for an injection."

"Damn it! And now you've become a white-eyed wolf!"

"You dead wench! You're not going to come with us today, are you? You don't even want your parents anymore, do you?"

The woman's wailing voice reached the girl's ears.

Screech—

Her fleeing footsteps abruptly stopped. The girl stood there rigidly, her face filled with despair and anguish.

This commotion quickly drew the attention of the other students, who came running over to watch. Seeing so many students gathering, the woman's cries became even more frantic.

At first, hearing these cries, it sounded like some terrible disaster had occurred.

But when the students asked what was happening!

They heard the couple shouting about their unfilial daughter, endlessly repeating that a woman who studies so much is useless and might as well go home and get married early to buy a house for her brother.

Ah!

So it was the vulgar practice of trading daughters for dowries.

In an instant, the well-meaning and innocent students surrounded the couple and angrily scolded them: "Are you even human? Forcing your own daughter to trade for a dowry!"

"I can't believe it's still the 21st century, and there are parents like you. I thought the TV dramas were exaggerating, but now I see they were actually being conservative."

"Don't you know that these days, even for going out to work, they look at your education credentials? You're cutting off your daughter's future prospects."

"Pfft, she's already an old maid at twenty? In big cities, the marriageable age is up to 35 now! Idiots!"

"Being poor is not a crime, but having parents like you is!"

"......"

All sorts of insults spewed from the mouths of the surrounding students.

These voices all entered the ears of the ancients! Their pupils dilated in shock!

Just a minute ago!

All! All the ancients were firmly convinced that these onlookers would scold the girl for being unfilial and help the parents make their case.

After all, it was the gratitude for raising a child, a debt as heavy as a mountain that can never be fully repaid.

But they never imagined that these students would be so outrageous, not saying a word when they initially didn't understand the situation.

Once they understood what was really going on, they directly stood in front of the girl, scolding and berating the couple.

The commoners gaped in shock, muttering in disbelief: "How... how could so many people take that girl's side?"

"These people are asking to be struck by lightning!"

"Not to mention marrying for a dowry, even selling a daughter into slavery would be normal!"

"No matter how many mistakes parents make, as children, we should never blame our parents."

"A woman's greatest role is to be a wife and mother. In this future era, if women are not women, this country will perish."

Seeing the situation escalating, both the livestream ancients and the surrounding students grew more and more numerous.

The couple, who had originally intended to take the moral high ground as parents, hadn't even had a chance to emotionally manipulate their daughter with familial obligations before being berated by the students.

Relying on age and status didn't work!

Favoring sons over daughters didn't work either!

The couple was so angry they felt like their lungs would burst.

The two of them simply charged forward to grab the girl, intending to drag her away by force.

"What are you doing?! Abducting someone?"

"Let go! At my school, I won't let you take away my student!"

The situation escalated to the point that the dean and several teachers hurried over.

Seeing the dean arrive, the couple immediately became meek.

But thinking of the dowry, the woman still puffed out her chest and shouted defiantly, "Who do you think you are? We're her parents and have the right to decide everything for her!"

"She was born from me, so even if I beat her to death, she deserves it."

The dean strode over, having not heard such a shockingly backward mindset in many years. Hearing it now, his worldview was truly shattered.

The dean said sternly, "Fine! Then try hitting her once!"

"There are so many students here as witnesses, and this professor from the law department is also a special assistant to the court. He has recorded everything you've said and done."

"Let's see if you beat your daughter to death, or if the court sentences you for intentional assault!"

The law professor glared coldly at the couple.

From the moment he appeared, he had been recording video. After the dean introduced him, he solemnly said to the girl, "Don't be afraid."

"As long as you still want to study, no one can force you."

"If anyone tries to force you, our law school will support you and help you file a lawsuit."

"It's this day and age, and there are still such narrow-minded parents. It's not your fault. You must bravely resist. No one can decide your future."

The other students were fired up and eagerly echoed in response:

"That's right, don't be afraid of these two leeches disguised as parents!"

"I'm from the journalism department. I can help you report this incident so everyone knows you have parasitic parents and brother."

"I'm a ninth-degree black belt. If anyone tries to force you away with violence, I'll protect you."

"I'm on the student council. If you have any difficulties, come to the student council. If you're short on cash, I can recommend some part-time jobs for you."

"I, I can also help. My dad has a company, and you can work there during the summer and winter breaks..."
