Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa Yun, I think people dislike forced family planning because they don't know the benefits. We shouldn't just shout slogans about better births. Officials should go down and explain the meaning clearly.
I remember Napoleon said success depends on mindset. Successful people have a positive attitude, while those who fail use a negative one.
This might not fit perfectly now, but it applies here. If officials work hard to change minds, people will accept it. Even if they don't agree today, talking every day helps. People adapt quickly, but it takes time. We can't ignore the process and only demand results.
Grandpa Yun, I am a doctor. To me, everyone is equal unless they are truly evil. The woman on the train and the one at Jinling Hospital made no big mistake. The Jinling patient was illiterate. She was taught men are superior and women are inferior. She only understood the importance of male heirs. To her, 'women hold up half the sky' was empty talk. She saw women only as tools for continuing the family line.
So why don't officials try to show that daughters can also continue the family line? Instead, they force women to have surgery. I think this is unreasonable."
Grandpa Yun listened patiently. He pondered for a moment. "Girl, stay home and enjoy the New Year. I will take this seriously and give you an answer."
"Not just for me, but for all the people," Zhu Yanyi smiled. "It's not me having the baby."
"You girl, you are only fifteen at New Year. Don't make such jokes," Grandpa Yun scolded gently with a smile.
"Okay, Grandpa Yun. I will wish you a Happy New Year on New Year's Eve. I'm hanging up. Bye-bye." Zhu Yanyi said goodbye with a smile.
Grandpa Yun could not calm down after the call. He thought for a while, then called the Big Boss. After confirming the Big Boss was free, he tidied up his affairs and went out.
It was the end of the year. The Big Boss was very busy. He had many documents to review and matters to arrange for the Spring Festival. Seeing Grandpa Yun, he pointed to the seat opposite. "Old Yun, sit for a moment. Let me finish this."
Soon, the Big Boss finished reading and signed the document. Then he faced Grandpa Yun. "Old Yun, it's nearly the end of the year. Why do you have time to visit me?"
"Do you think I am idle?" Grandpa Yun looked helpless. "I had to come because of Ani's phone call."
"What happened with the little girl again?" the Big Boss asked curiously.
Grandpa Yun told the Big Boss about Zhu Yanyi taking the train home for the New Year and the birth incident on the train. The Big Boss coughed. "I feel like trouble follows this girl wherever she goes."
