Chapter 17: Feminist Arguments on Human Rights 2

Wei Shu glanced at everyone present lightly, and continued, "Men in this world can have three wives and four concubines, and they can remarry immediately after the death of their wives, but they don't allow women to follow suit.

I do not deny that some women have a deep love for their husbands, and are willing to set up a chastity arch to keep only one person in this life, this loyalty is commendable, but when has the chastity archway become a shackle against the will of the parties?

You have also heard what the Liu family just said, her husband and her in-laws treated her badly, her husband died, and her in-laws and clansmen forcibly set up a chastity archway, so that she would be widowed for the rest of her life.

But have you ever thought about it, why? Why should her husband be forced to bury her life when he died? Have you ever heard the term moral kidnapping? ”

Well, maybe they haven't heard of it, after all, it only appeared in the 21st century, but they should be able to understand the general meaning.

"Yes, there seems to be some truth in what this young man said...", a woman who was also set up as a chastity archway muttered to herself after listening to Wei Shu's words.

And the same thing will always have a two-sided reaction.

For example, many of the women present have gradually agreed with Wei Shu's words, but the men feel the biggest crisis in history, if the women are disobedient and have their own sense of resistance, how can they still be above these little women?

"Evil words confuse the public, I think your little boy should also be executed with that widow!"

Many of the men began to angrily rebuke Wei Shu.

Wei Shu didn't have half a bit of fear on his face, but instead glanced at them with cold disdain, "Ask yourself, men in the world can study and gain fame, why can't women?"

It's not that women are stupider than men, but stupid men need to draw value from women, and are afraid that women will be above them, there were empresses in the previous dynasty, and there are many talented women in this dynasty, admired by the world, but there are few such women as little as a drop in the ocean, men can have three wives and four concubines, but they want women to end up from the beginning, have you ever questioned why all this?

And why? "Are you not afraid that whatever they put on the Liu clan today will be used on you in the future? Why don't you rebel against such a tradition? ”

Wei Shu's voice was full of emotion, and the ideology she conveyed penetrated into the originally ignorant cognitive outlook of all the women present, planting a seed of awakening in their hearts, which will slowly break through the ground and thrive in the coming day.

And today, their emotions have been completely ignited, and which woman present has not been oppressed by such and such an patriarchal society?

So the whole atmosphere suddenly exploded, and the women clamored for the patriarch of the Chen family to release the Liu family.

"Shut up! This... These women are going to turn the hell around..."

The old patriarch was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he wanted to ask a few clansmen to bring the Liu family back first, but he was blocked by a group of women.

Because it was the old patriarch who ordered the Liu family to sink into the pond today, after Wei Shu's instigation, they looked at the old patriarch's wrinkled face with the same disgust as they looked at their own father-in-law and husband's face.

Women in this era, who has never held their breath in their hearts, they can't beat their own men in the human world, so let's take this old patriarch out of anger!

Who let every clan with a surname have such a hating old man who relies on high morality.

It's ridiculous to say that some of the men tried to stop the women, but the women were all like crazy, and whoever stood in front of them reached out and scratched their faces.

After a while, many men had colored faces on their faces, and the scene had already made a pot of porridge, and no one paid attention to what Wei Shu was doing.

The reason why human beings claim to be the spirits of all things, in addition to having a brain capacity larger than that of other animals, is also because humans have created language.

Some people are famous for a few famous sayings.

Some people die because of the evil that comes out of their mouths.

There are even people who change the whole society because of a few speeches.

Others are even more awesome, sitting in a beer hall all day long, beeping there, and then creating a party, and then, that person leads a country to sweep the world!

The man was a madman, but there were some qualities worth learning...

"Alright, let's go."

The position where Wei Shu was standing was the closest to the Liu family, and as soon as the scene became chaotic, she went over to untie the rope on the Liu family.

But the Liu family did not flee immediately, but knelt in front of Wei Shu, "I have no home to go back to, and I hope that Gongzi will take me in." ”

Wei Shu twisted his eyebrows slightly, and looked around, if she didn't let this woman go, she wouldn't be able to leave if the people of the Chen family reacted later.

So he took out a piece of silver from his arms and stuffed it into Liu's hand to explain a few words, and after Liu's listened, a trace of joy flashed on his face, and he took the silver and ran away secretly.

Seeing Liu's figure disappear into the crowd, Wei Shu smiled without a trace and left in a flash.

Rong'er was originally going to step forward to protect her young lady, but she was dispersed by the crowd.

Because there was too much commotion here, the government soon came to control the scene.

Everyone is reluctant to let the government know about such a thing, after all, they are ordinary people and can't afford to ask the government to come forward.

And before the catches came, everybody was gone.

When the people of the Chen family were ready to take the Liu family home again, they found that there was only an empty cage left, and it was trampled on.

Although the Chen family was angry, they couldn't help it, the scene was chaotic, and they had to leave in disgrace.

Rong'er looked around for a long time but didn't find the shadow of her own young lady, so she had to cry and go back to the Wei Mansion first, thinking about reporting to the old lady first.

"Childe, the official mission is almost here, let's leave too, shall we?"

Xuan An sat outside the carriage and said to the young man inside.

"Well, let's go."

The young man lowered the curtain and bent down to pick up the glass wine cup that had fallen to the ground.

I held the wine cup in my hand, but I didn't know when it was dropped.

Maybe the girl was too harsh.

Or maybe that person exudes a unique charm, and from the first glance, his eyes will involuntarily be attracted to her, so he lost his mind for a while, and accidentally dropped the wine cup.

"Give me all the information about that girl as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Childe!"

Xuan An replied in a deep voice, drove the carriage away, and when the officers and soldiers arrived, the pond was empty.

Gathering crowds to make trouble can be big or small, but now the government can't catch anyone, and two days later, someone heard that the county order summoned the head of the Chen family and reprimanded him in person, and ordered that there should be no more bad habits such as sinking ponds in Qingcheng in the future.

The matter of Widow Liu has passed, and Wei Shu has been obediently staying in Yuehua Tower for the past few days, and has not gone anywhere.

The Wei family's business continues to lose money as always, and it will be difficult to find a solution for a while.

At the same time, I heard that Wei Jin had suddenly contracted a wind chill since she came back to her Yuehua Mansion last time.

But this is the Dragon Boat Festival, how can a good person get caught in the cold?
