Chapter 1,423

The plan for female high school students to receive equal pay for equal work and be promoted step by step like male officials was announced in a document by the Ministry of Personnel, which immediately aroused heated discussion in the imperial capital.

Many of the women who were waiting and watching were immediately tempted. Does this mean that if they come out to apply for wives, they can support their families with their salaries like male officials and become successful?

On the first day, many women came to sign up. Most of these women were in poor living conditions at home.

Some were chastised by their mothers-in-law to the point where they could no longer stay at home, while others were rejected by their husbands and mother-in-law because they gave birth to a daughter.

Others are often beaten by their husbands.

Ling Yu asked the registered female officers to record the information of these registered women one by one, as well as the reasons why they should apply for the position of wife.

Seeing these reasons, Ling Yu felt that women's lives were even more difficult. When she and Xiao Lintian had dinner, she threw these information in front of Xiao Lintian.

Xiao Lintian was startled by Ling Yu's anger, but when he patiently read the reasons why those women applied, Xiao Lintian, as a man, felt ashamed.

He was even more ashamed when he remembered the incident of whipping Ling Yu.

At that time, he never imagined that Ling Yu would one day be so important to him. Not only did he save himself, but he also helped him resolve dangers time and time again.

"Look at this Lin Xiuzhen. She had three miscarriages in four years. The first time was when she was three months pregnant. Just because she ate two extra pieces of meat, her mother-in-law punished her by kneeling down and aborting the child!"

Ling Yu said distressedly: "The second time, she was five months pregnant. Her mother-in-law misunderstood the Taoist priest's lies, saying that the child in her belly would kill her father, so she used medicine to crush her child!"

"The third time, when she was two months pregnant, her husband got drunk and beat her, and the child was gone!"

Ling Yu said angrily: "That's it, her mother-in-law and husband still said she wouldn't give birth, so they forced her to divorce her home!"

"Xiao Lintian, an abandoned woman is despised by her natal family and despised by the world, but what's wrong with Lin Xiuzhen? Why should she be treated like this?"

"These women who are applying for jobs, those who have not been abandoned, and those who live in their husband's family are very similar to her! Why can men treat them like this as a matter of course?"

"Isn't it that what you are fighting for is men's dominant position in the family? Isn't it because they are stronger than them? Isn't it because you habitually think that they are weak and can be bullied?"

Ling Yu became excited and included Xiao Lintian among these men.

She remembered that when she traveled back in time, Xiao Lintian would always beat or kill her, and she was even more annoyed.

"Women work hard to have children and take care of the housework, but they have no status at home. They are used to being oppressed by men."

"But they are also human beings, with flesh and blood, and they can feel pain and sadness. Why do you expect them to do everything and not give them the respect they deserve!"

Xiao Lintian was made restless by these questioning questions that were almost accusatory. He stood up and said cautiously: "Ayu, stop talking, I know I was wrong!"

"I was just as arrogant as these men before, and I did a lot of things that hurt you! I solemnly apologize to you... I'm sorry!"

Xiao Lintian bowed deeply to Ling Yu.

The eunuchs and maids waiting nearby lowered their heads and did not dare to look. They only thought that the Queen was so powerful that she could make the Emperor, who was among the tens of thousands of people, apologize to her.

Ling Yu was not flattered by this. She felt that Xiao Lintian should apologize to her, and her accusations were justified.

We are all human beings, so why do women have to be humble and humiliate themselves?

Moreover, Xiao Lintian's original fifty lashes resulted in the death of the original Ling Yu on the spot, so he had his own time-travel replacement.

In the end, Xiao Lintian owed Ling Yu his life, and an apology would give him an advantage!
