Chapter 25 What's That Village of Yours?

  My hands had already fallen onto my knees, and I looked at him with a smile, asking.

  He didn't care about me at first, and I didn't say a word. I just smiled and stared at him, waiting for him to take the bait. In the end, he couldn't resist asking, "What is it?"

  I coughed and said with a pretentious tone: "The so-called 'three obediences' refer to obeying one's mother at home, obeying one's wife after marriage, and committing suicide after the wife's death!" I looked at his stunned expression and continued: "There is another saying that goes like this: when the daughter-in-law leaves the house, she must follow; when the daughter-in-law gives an order, she must be obeyed; when the daughter-in-law makes a mistake, she must be blindly followed. When the daughter-in-law dresses up, one must wait for her; on the daughter-in-law's birthday, one must remember it; when the daughter-in-law scolds or beats, one must endure it; when the daughter-in-law spends money, one must let her have her way. This is a man's 'three obediences and four tolerances'."

  I read out all the words I saw on the internet, Song Tang was speechless. He fell silent for a while, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and looked at me to ask: "Who said this? What village is your village? Are they all abnormal poor people who rely only on women to survive?"

  I was thinking of myself in the modern city, while he was talking about the real Su Su who lived in Bailing Village. I replied proudly: "In our village, men and women are equal, those things like 'three obediences and four virtues' are just casual entertainment. In our village, women may not be stronger than men, but they are no worse than men either. Every woman can make a living just like men, and they are not just housewives."

  "Hmph!" He snorted and said, "What a joke!"

  I didn't want to talk to this child who had been deeply poisoned by feudal society, so I looked at him disdainfully and asked: "Are you willing to marry me?"

  He didn't expect me to ask this, and his bright expression dimmed. "I originally didn't know about this marriage arrangement," he said. "I also had a cousin who was betrothed to me since childhood, but unfortunately, after my mother fell out of favor several years ago, she never mentioned it again. Before you entered the household, I was almost on the brink of death, so I randomly agreed to this marriage arrangement. How could I have any say in whether or not I was willing? I didn't even know about this matter."

  He actually dares to look down on me. If he had power and influence, then the one he would marry would be a rich family's daughter, not the poor and helpless Su Su. Moreover, with his kind of body, which wealthy family's daughter would be willing to enter his household?

  Apart from Su Su, who else would be stupid enough to be forced in here besides me?
