Xiaoqin stood up and was about to cover Yang Ruoqing's mouth, her face turned red in anxiety, and she spat in a low voice: "You damn Qing'er, what nonsense are you talking about? I won't be able to show my face if anyone hears it!"

"

How could Yang Ruoqing let Xiaoqin cover her mouth? She had already moved to another stool next to her and giggled twice.

"Oh, I'm telling the truth, I'm not talking nonsense!" she said without fear of death.

Xiaoqin had no idea, she glared at Yang Ruoqing and covered her face with her hands.

"Stop talking, stop talking, I'm too embarrassed to see anyone!" A muffled voice came from behind the gap between Xiao Qin's fingers.

Yang Ruoqing reached out and took off Xiaoqin's hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's not tell jokes anymore. I want to ask you a question seriously."

Xiaoqin raised her eyes and looked at Yang Ruoqing, "I know what you want to ask,"

"Qing'er, I will not remarry again, and I will not betray Daping..."

"Xiaoqin!" Yang Ruoqing interrupted Xiaoqin,

"Brother Daping has left. You are still young and you still have decades to live."

"This is not about betrayal or betrayal, but about living a real life. It's not easy for you to be a woman with two daughters..."

"No matter how hard it is, I will grit my teeth and bear it." Xiaoqin interrupted Yang Ruoqing's words, her eyes filled with determination.

"When Daping first left, the second daughter was only a few months old and was still nursing in my arms." Xiaoqin continued.

"When the bad news came about Daping, my milk supply went back. My second daughter was brought up little by little by me using rice soup and batter."

"I am almost three years old now, and I have survived the most difficult times,"

"Now the eldest daughter is about the same as your baby, she is almost seven years old, and the second daughter is almost three years old. In seven or eight years, my eldest daughter will be able to get married. By then, I will recruit a son-in-law, and I will be able to be my mother-in-law with peace of mind.

good!"

"When the second daughter grows up, I will also marry her in our Changping Village. The two daughters will help each other, just like your mother Qing'er and your aunt, everyone is envious!"

Seeing the glimmer of light in Xiaoqin's dim eyes when she was thinking about a better life in the future, Yang Ruoqing was also deeply affected.

"What you said is good, but have you ever thought about the seven or eight years, nearly ten years, before your two daughters grow up, get married, and meet two sons-in-law who make you feel safe and reliable?"

What will happen during kung fu? What will we encounter?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, looking straight at Yang Ruoqing, a little confused for a moment.

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and then said: "Let me put it this way, let me use an analogy."

"If your eldest daughter grows up to be twelve or thirteen years old, she will be very beautiful."

"Because you don't have a man who is the backbone of your family, some people with good intentions may plot against your eldest daughter."

"Go to the market, go out to work, dig wild vegetables in the mountains, visit relatives, and even go out to play with the handkerchief friends..."

“What should I do if I’m bullied?”

"When you come to a house of women, people won't take you seriously at all."

"Even if your eldest daughter is looking for a son-in-law at home, the conditions of the son-in-law are usually not very good."

"Either the son-in-law's family is not in good condition, like my cousin Ju'er's husband Chen Biao."

"Either the son-in-law himself is not in good condition, such as my uncle and my aunt. My uncle is a head shorter than my aunt, and his body is also thinner."

"Even if your eldest daughter takes over the family, a family like this is still disadvantaged in the village. Don't blame me for speaking directly. What I said is the truth." Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiaoqin looked sad and murmured: "I don't blame you, what you said is indeed the truth."

"You can see it at a glance when you are washing clothes in the pond at the entrance of the village."

"In any house where the men are strong, have many brothers, and have many sons, the woman who washes clothes must have a loud voice and be the talkative. She must also wash the few good stones first."

"As for me, a widow with no sons, I always wait until they finish washing before I go. No one has said this rule, but everyone knows it clearly, and no one dares to break it.

"

Xiaoqin said that in the past few years, she has really learned enough. In addition, there are also those who are pointing behind her.

"Let's talk about your second daughter," Yang Ruoqing continued.

"When a girl gets married, what she wants most is not only the love of her husband, but also the support of her mother's family."

"A woman in her husband's family really hates to suffer if she doesn't have the support of her mother's family. If you are far away, just look at our old Yang family."

"My mother and her sisters originally had five sisters-in-law. The most popular one was the second mother, and the most pitiful one was my eldest mother."

"My second mother is popular because her natal family is from this village. Her brother is doing business and has made a fortune long ago. If he is rich, my second uncle has to rely on my second mother's brother to make money, so my second mother is the most popular."

"My aunt is the most pitiful because she is a deaf-mute orphan and she has no natal family."

"We never knew why my father asked my aunt to be my uncle's wife in the first place. Anyway, my life was very hard in Lao Yang's family."

"My uncle always wanted to divorce her, but my aunt got the best of her and gave birth to four sons at once."

"My fourth aunt has no sons and only has three daughters at once. However, my fourth aunt's family has many brothers and her parents are still alive, so they can support her."

"My mother and my fifth aunt are both suffering. My mother was bullied by my grandma at that time, and she didn't dare to go back to Sunjiagou to tell her."

"Every time my mother-in-law and the others ask me, my mother always reports good news but not bad news." "Why? Because there is only one biological sister in my mother's family. My brother-in-law is thin and weak. After all, he is not a real brother. And my fifth aunt is even more pitiful...

…”

"So, I have always suggested that you remarry and take the children with you to remarry,"

"Otherwise, I will find a son-in-law to come to my home, re-establish a family, and have two more sons. This will be the greatest support and support for you and your two daughters!"

In ancient times, it was an agricultural society, and labor force was the most important.

Whether it is farming, production, business, or wars that often occur...

Manpower is the most important, especially men.

In ancient times, there were many wars, the mortality rate of men was high, and there were more women than men, so men were more scarce, and the idea of ​​favoring sons over daughters was stronger.

Of course, these are the background and orthodox ideas of the general era, and there are exceptions.

In the minds of Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, sons and daughters are equal.

The conditions of their family also determine that Luo Baobao is strong enough even without the help of his brothers.

Xiaoqin didn't speak, and sat there with a depressed look on her face. The gleam of light that had just ignited in her eyes disappeared again into the endless darkness...

"I don't want to remarry, and I don't want to take my two daughters to marry far away. I just want to stay in Changping Village..."

After a while, Xiaoqin murmured.

"I really can't. For the sake of my children, I have no choice but to recruit a son-in-law."
