Zhong Ling's series of initiatives have been unconditionally supported by Shen Yichi, who are also young people in the 21st century, they know better than anyone that men and women are indispensable in this world, and this competition makes them feel that it is very necessary and urgent to change the status quo of male superiority and inferiority.

Zhong Ling named the newly established department the Women's Bureau, as the name suggests, an organization that is beneficial to women, they often hold some lectures in the capital, women can bring their children to listen to them, and those who participate in the lectures can also get some small gifts, as large as silk handkerchiefs, as small as two eggs, all of which are objects that women like or need.

Zhong Ling subdivided these cases into three modules, such as husband and wife quarrels, neighborhood conflicts, and unfilial children, and selected several female officials of different ages and life experiences to take charge of this matter, so as to be able to empathize and treat each case fairly and justly.

Zhong Ling stayed in the palace finely, and occasionally came to the Women's Bureau to sit. As soon as she sat down and took a sip of tea, the earth-shattering drumming sounded outside the door.

"Who's drumming? Why? Zhong Ling asked unhurriedly.

Drumming happens every day, which is not unusual at all, and there is no need for Zhong Ling to worry about it at all, and a few female officials who are guarding the Women's Bureau will naturally handle everything.

"Hui Niangniang, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, said that she was going to sue her father." A female officer walked in, she had already asked clearly, and said respectfully.

"Sue Daddy?" Zhong Ling frowned, "Why is that?" ”

The female officer's face was embarrassed, and she hesitated for a moment before saying, "The girl said that his father is a good gambler, and every time he gets drunk and loses money, he will beat his mother, this time he beat more powerfully, it is said that his legs are broken, and he is still fighting ......."

The truth of the little girl's words has not been confirmed, and if so, what is the difference between a man and a beast! But after all, they are female officials, and they usually regulate the relationship between their families and neighbors, and they don't have any substantive rights in their hands.

"Then what are you waiting for, the major matter of human life must be passed quickly!" Zhong Ling put down the teacup in his hand, stood up with a "Teng", and prepared to walk to the door.

"Mother's stay!" The female officer stopped her and explained, "I have already asked the girl to go to the yamen to report the case, and this kind of hurtful matter is not something we can control." ”

What is the difference between burning your ass and kicking the ball around, and the relevant departments of modern society? A teenage girl came to beat the drum and sue her father, how much courage does it take, so she will be taken away with a "can't manage" reason, who will regard the Women's Bureau as a strong pillar behind him in the future? Who can really trust them? So what's the point of opening this department yourself?

Zhong Ling's face was serious, "Everything that is related to the interests of women, no matter how big or small, is our business, how can we push the drummer outward?" ”

The female official was also very aggrieved, "Niangniang, it's not that we don't want to do it, but we only have the brand of the Women's Bureau."

, but there is no substantive power in hand, even if we want to bring the criminal to justice, we have to report to the yamen, and they have to investigate again, which will definitely delay a lot of time, it is better to let her go directly to the yamen to report the case. ”

Although they are called female officials, few people regard them as real officials, and the power in their hands is smaller than sesame grains, and those people listen to them when they are in a good mood, and it is normal to sweep them out directly when they are in a bad mood.

Zhong Ling let out a long sigh of relief and motioned to the female officer beside him, "Stop the little girl just now, let's go back with her." ”

What she thought before was indeed a little too simple, female officials were excluded by other court officials everywhere, and they could not be respected by the people at the bottom, even if they had three heads and six arms, it was difficult to display their talents, this time, she wanted to completely start the reputation of the Women's Bureau, so that all women knew that this was an institution that could really help them protect their rights, and it was the strongest backing behind them.

In the carriage, the little girl's eyes were red from crying, and her face was stubborn that did not match her age, and she stared at Zhong Ling again and again and asked repeatedly, "Big sister, can you really help me and my mother?" ”

The female officer next to her sank her face and reminded, "Don't be rude!" That's ......."

"Ahem." Zhong Ling faked coughing twice, interrupted the female officer's words, and gently stroked the little girl's hair and said, "Of course, otherwise why would you be beating the drum outside the door of the Women's Bureau?" ”

After getting the other party's affirmative answer, the little girl cried "wow", and choked up while wiping her tears, "I knew that you would definitely help me, and the aunts and aunts of the neighbors said that it would be useless to look for you...... I just thought that if you didn't help, I wouldn't be able to live this life, and when I went back, I would hang myself in the courtyard with my mother......"

Zhong Ling swallowed his saliva and looked at the female officer next to him, fortunately they called back the little girl in time, otherwise it would have become a major matter of two lives, and he would definitely regret it for a lifetime.

"Little sister, has your father beaten you since you were a child? Have you never resisted in all these years? Zhong Ling changed the topic and asked the reason for this.

The little girl shook her head, "Since I was a child, my father loves me very much, no matter how tired he is from working during the day, he will always bring me a string of sugar gourds when he comes home at night." Later, my mother gave birth to two younger sisters, and the neighbors said that my father and mother had created sins in my last life, and I would have no son in this life, and my mother would ask the Bodhisattva for blessing every day, and who knew that two years later she gave birth to a younger sister. For this reason, my family did not dare to deal with others, and I always felt that they were pointing fingers behind my back, and no one in the neighborhood wanted to play with me. ”

Zhong Ling can understand the difficulties of this family, even in modern society, there will still be bad habits of preference for sons, but it can be heard from this girl's words, no matter what others think, the relationship between their family is not bad, and it will not be bad enough to break a leg no matter what.

The little girl narrowed her eyes and continued, "My mother often sighs and says that her daughter's family is all money-losing goods, and she can't earn money for the family, not to mention, she will become someone else's family when she is raised." I

I and my sisters tried to do as much as possible, going to the mountains to chop firewood, to planting rice in the fields, hoping to help my father and mother reduce the burden, but we still couldn't eat enough every day. ”

Zhong Ling subconsciously held the little girl's hand, hoping to give her some comfort.

"Later, I don't know when my dad became addicted to gambling. At first, I won a few games, and when I was happy, I would buy some meat for us to eat, and then I lost more and more, and when I lost, I drank, and after drinking, I started beating my mother and us. The little girl bit her lower lip, and a little helplessness and pain flashed in her eyes, "Everything that can be sold at home has been sold, and there is only an empty and dilapidated house left, but my father still refuses to stop." ”

Sure enough, gamblers in the world are all virtuous, Zhong Ling thought silently, as the saying goes, saving the emergency is not helping the poor, she is a big family that pities this girl, but if she doesn't solve the problem fundamentally, even if she gives them a mountain of gold and silver, she will be defeated sooner or later.

"Then why did your father beat you this time?" Zhong Ling asked.

"Dad owes a lot of gambling debts outside, and he can't come up with the money to pay them back, so he uses me to pay off the debt......" said, the little girl's tears fell down like a flood that broke the embankment, "My mother didn't agree to live or die, so my father beat her, and her legs were discounted......"

Zhong Ling was like a fish in her throat, she couldn't listen to it anymore, took the little girl into her arms, took out a handkerchief to help her wipe away her tears, "Be good, don't cry, it will pass." ”

The little girl raised her head, her face showed a little anxious, pointed outside and said to Zhong Ling, "Big sister, can you make the coachman faster, my father drank too much, and he will beat my mother to death if he goes late!" ”

When Zhong Ling and the others arrived, the courtyard was surrounded by people watching the excitement, and the sound of beating, scolding, crying, and beating came from the house, almost toppling the roof of the withered grass, and the people next to them shook their heads and sighed, and talked about it.

"Auntie, how is my mother?" The little girl ran over and asked a woman at the door.

"Well, let's go and see, the screaming just now is quite scary, and there has been no sound for a long time."

When the little girl heard this, she hurriedly rushed into the courtyard, Zhong Ling frowned and followed closely.

"You guys are really here, can't they go and persuade them if their family is like that?" The female officer shook her head and couldn't help but complain,

"The girl doesn't know that their family has been fighting for a day or two. At first, we also persuaded him, but the man was drunk and didn't care about it, and even beat the people who persuaded him to fight, and after a long time, naturally no one cared about it, but it was a pity that the women and children of his family ......" explained a woman standing next to her.

"His family doesn't know what sins he made in his previous life, he gave birth to several daughters in a row, the family is full of yin and yang, and the incense is broken, so it will make the chickens and dogs restless!" An old man with a hoe not far away said.

When the women around heard this, instead of having a hint of rebuttal, they nodded frequently, "Yes, Uncle Wang is right!" What a sin! ”

The female officer could only let out a long sigh when she heard this, which is why she didn't want to take on this case in the first place. They passed by the women

The baptism of the sub-academy has made a lot of progress in thinking, but the vast majority of the people are still ignorant, after all, it is a thought that has been ingrained for thousands of years, and it cannot be changed casually.

When Zhong Ling and the little girl came to the house, a middle-aged woman in ragged clothes and covered in blood was lying in the corner of the wall, her eyes were blank, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Behind her lay three younger girls, the oldest in their teens and the youngest in their third or fourth year.
