437 Naturalization Training?
When Wei Dongli said this, he was immediately shocked.
"Why! Brother Wei! Are you sure? ”
"Don't you think the girl is ugly?"
"Aren't you really too old?"
"Listen to me, I've made up my mind! As the saying goes, marry a wife and marry a virtuous, I have observed for a long time, that woman is a story, she is educated in her gestures, and she is also literate and hyphenated, which is not simple! Obviously, there is the experience of a large family.
Besides, since this woman is the first one I bought, it is fate, I want this woman......"
At this time, Wei Dongli responded to everyone with a serious face.
"Brother Wei, little brother admires!"
"It's a ...... true temperament"
"This is love!"
"You, patterns! Didn't you listen to what Brother Wei said just now? ”
"What?"
"Marry a wife and marry a virtuous man!"
"Oh...... I understand, the latter sentence is a concubine, right? ”
"Damn! It's still Brother Wei's routine, it's deep......"
"There is this sentence at the end of the book, it makes sense! The wife can't be too beautiful and too strong, otherwise it will be difficult to accommodate the behind, right? ”
"Not really! That ugly girl has followed Brother Wei with all her heart since then, and also helped him take care of the harem......"
"That's why the female junior holds the gold bricks......"
However, Wei Dongli did not continue to pay attention to these discussions, because at this moment, he had already shook his shoulders, swaggered up to Liu Sanniang, and took out a diamond ring from his arms.
Then, in the stunned eyes of the sister, Wei Dongli forcibly took the sister's right hand in public, put the ring on her ring finger, and said loudly:
"From now on, you will be my woman!"
Then he turned around, shaking his shoulders and returning to his seat without looking back.
So, in the dining room, which was quiet for a while, there was a sudden burst of applause and cheers, and at this time, Liu Sanniang's cheeks suddenly turned red like a tomato, she sat on the seat helplessly, looked down at the shiny trinkets that had just been put on her fingers, and stroked it gently, and the whole person was so ashamed that she didn't say a word.
The two female companions next to them also looked at all this blankly, obviously speechless by this man's actions......
That afternoon, twenty of the forty-four female slaves from the human market were selected, but unlike Wei Donglian's public show of love, the selection was carried out in secret, and the women were unaware of it.
However, a telegram from the Red Mansion made the men on both the Nicole and the Pride feel a little crying and laughing, and this telegram received that afternoon was sent by the ladies of the Red Mansion.
The content of the telegram was about the rights and interests of the women they bought. In the telegram, the ladies made four specific requests:
The first is that the women who have been bought, both selected and those who have not yet been selected, must return to Mornington Island for a period of "naturalization training", which obviously must be carried out by the ladies.
After completing these trainings, the slave girls will immediately become citizens of the Commonwealth of Australia, just like the underage children, and have the rights and obligations of the Commonwealth citizens.
The second is that the selected women must register their marriages before they can "live together".
The marriage registration work was handed over to the members of the Living Materials Committee, and the specific work was taken care of by Xia Xiaoou and Du Na. Couples who do not have a registered marriage will be considered to be living together illegally, and both men and women will be punished by law.
The third is the explicit requirement that these women, whether or not they are so-called "formal wives", have all the legal rights and interests of their formal spouses – including economic interests. The telegram stressed that this provision was in keeping with the spirit of the Red Chamber Convention and that any discriminatory and discriminatory treatment of wives and concubines in the family would be considered illegal.
Fourth, all those who buy slave girls must sign a declaration known as the "Equal Rights of Wives and Concubines."
The specific text is still under discussion and will be submitted to the plenary for discussion and adoption when it is finalized.
The ladies also stressed in the telegram that, although they were opposed to polygamy from the bottom of their hearts, "in view of the realities, the stage of historical development and the psychological factors of individuals, including women, we are compelled to tolerate, for the time being, this extremely ugly and extremely unfair gender inequality and discrimination, although this injustice is absolutely deserving of human society......
The telegram also emphasized:
“...... Therefore, we must impose certain restrictions on the law, to legally encourage and promote equality between men and women, monogamy, and against any gender discrimination and gender injustice! ”
The ladies of the Red Chamber unabashedly pointed out that the proposals in the telegram were pertinent, and if a man could acquire a woman by way of purchase, or marry more than one woman in this way, then the above four would take effect immediately and automatically!
Obviously, if you are in free love and have only one woman, the above four will not control you......
As soon as this telegram arrived at Nicole, it immediately sparked a big discussion, because the content of the telegram can be said to be very "politically correct", everyone was speechless for a while, except for some people who protested that the mention of illegal cohabitation to be punished by law is inappropriate, after all, marriage is a matter between two people, as long as illegal cohabitation does not hinder others, why should it be punished by law? This is obviously an evil law!
So a rebuttal telegram was sent back to the Red Chamber, and Nicole's telegram said that we support equality between men and women, and we also support equal rights for men and women, but the provisions of illegal cohabitation are unacceptable!
Half an hour later, the Red Chamber called back: Thank you for your support for the cause of equality between men and women, and humbly accept your opinions, and the clause on illegal cohabitation will be lifted immediately.
Well, this quick call back from the ladies flashed everyone for a moment, and they finally came back to their senses, it turned out that this is called lust and indulgence, what people want is the statement in front, and the illegal cohabitation clause in the back is just a bait.
Then, on the same day, the Nicole sent a second message, which was about various "unofficial" statements by men, including some people complaining that marrying a few wives or something, and not robbing people's daughters, as long as both parties are willing, it's nothing, right? The first four are of course good, but it seems that there is a lack of protection for men, so is there also discrimination against men!
However, it is mainly a group of high school students who complain, and those who are older are silent.
In the end, Gu Jin sent a clearly worded telegram expressing his support for the ladies' proposal, and said that he would at least create a brighter and fairer future for his two daughters, so he would never support and encourage polygamy......
In short, the captain of the retrospective ship used his great prestige in the eyes of the young people to temporarily convince, or to some extent, to subdue the crowd, and finally everyone was satisfied with this "...... a landmark document in the history of the gender equality movement" (Note: Later historians) did not raise any particular objections.
Of course, the men who have wives have no objections to these four proposals, they are either silent or noncommittal, and when they are in a hurry, they will verbally express some innocuous complaints, for example, these proposals of the ladies are good, of course, is there some haste or something.
These people's statements always give the impression of scratching their boots, and in any case, their wall-riding attitude strengthens the voices of the ladies, and it is clear that these people with wives do not seem to be in the same trench as the single dogs.
In this regard, a group of single dogs ridiculed that they belong to a group of people who have a thief's heart and no thief's courage, if these four decisions are passed, the biggest loss is not them, but we single dogs, but if there are some changes that are beneficial to men, they are still the beneficiators, so no matter what, this group of guys, too cunning......
