Xia Wuyao would give her own answer to Sister Huo's words after careful consideration.
Is she really worse than men?
Xia Wuyao couldn't help but think that she had always had a strong character since she was a child.
Whether she is reading, writing, or wielding swords and guns, just because she is a girl, what others tell her is enough, and she should not be blind.
Even she practices martial arts to strengthen her body and prepare for having children in the future.
But what about actually?
Whether it was her cousins or boys from other families, they could not compare to her.
But these people not only refused to admit that she was worse than them, they also said that because she was a woman, they just let her go.
Humph! Do you think she doesn’t know? These people don’t want to let her go, but it’s a pity that they don’t have the ability to defeat her.
When she thought about the past, she subconsciously puffed up her chest and said very proudly: "I consider myself no worse than any man. Of course, I also admit that there are many excellent men in the world. There are people who are better than others, but I never
I feel that I am the most powerful one. However, if compared with this group of people from the Xia family, then I will still be the number one."
Lin Mengya immediately became confident when she saw this girl, smiled, nodded and said affirmatively: "That's right. Both men and women in this world have their own merits. Therefore, no one is inherently worse than the other.
Gender is not the only criterion for judging excellence."
"The reason why the Xia family doesn't care about you is not only because you are a girl, but also because all the people in power in the Xia family are men, so they will naturally prefer successors of the same gender."
"Precisely because they are all men, they can use the excuses like 'women are not allowed to run the house' and 'women should be virtuous and virtuous to support their husbands and educate their children.' In this way, they lose half of their competitors."
Xia Wuyao's eyes widened.
This was the first time she heard these words, and she didn't know why, but she felt that what Sister Huo said made sense, at least it was easier to understand than those pedantic masters.
"But what's the reality? Although they exclude women from the field of competition, they are still inseparable from women's sacrifice and dedication."
"For example, if they need to cooperate with other families, but they cannot guarantee the sincerity of the other family, then it would be particularly cost-effective to sacrifice a woman at this time and let the woman's marriage become the link between the two families."
"If it works, both parties will benefit. If it doesn't work, it will just be a loss of a little dowry. It won't hurt. So you see how cunning those male leaders are. They never do business at a loss."

> "As for the sacrificed women, if they live a good life, they are protected by their families. If they live a bad life, they can only blame her for her own bad life. No one will care about their life or death, because they are just being brought forward in advance.
Just pruned branches."
Lin Mengya's voice was gentle, but the words he spoke were very cold.
Xia Wuyao suddenly trembled, and then she realized that the reason why she felt that she might be worse than those men was because from the beginning she had substituted herself for her father, or other male elders had given her
among the roles.
And once she breaks out of that circle, she will find that many things in the past were all illusions.
She and her mother have been trapped by this illusion for so many years.
If it weren't for Sister Huo's words, maybe she would still be struggling for a long time?
"So, 'preferring boys over girls' is a fallacy. If you continue to care about whether you are a boy, it means that you have accepted such a rule. So now, you will still feel that you are inferior to men.
"?" Lin Mengya looked at Wu Yao's increasingly clear eyes and knew that the girl had figured it out.
Women's ideological emancipation never happens overnight.
Just like today.
As the daughter-in-law of the Xia family, Aunt Ye can openly confront her husband and her husband's relatives because she has the capital to survive.
Even without relying on the so-called husband's family, she can still raise her daughter well.
But for those female relatives who sat aside and did not dare to say a word from beginning to end, Ye Lingfang's performance today was tantamount to deviant and "alien" among women like them.
Even, it is "shame".
In addition to their own education, what is more important is that they have no ability to gain a foothold in this society.
The economic base determines the superstructure. This sentence is applicable no matter which dynasty it is in.
If a girl is raised in a deep house and compound from an early age, she learns the three obediences and the four virtues, memorizes the rules of women, and even foot binding, never leaves the house or takes a step forward, and lives on that embroidered bed her whole life.
How can such a woman be asked to emancipate her mind?
Therefore, economy and education are the main factors that promote women's liberation.
Her task is long and arduous.
And this is definitely impossible for her to do alone, it will require the efforts of several generations.
However, she can be the spark first.
After solving the troubles in his heart, Xia Wuyao bowed to the west sincerely.
"I hope this poor little guy will reach bliss soon and never suffer such pain in the next life. Alas, Sister Huo, I really can't figure out how there could be such cruel parents in the world.
When they were young, they beat her down and sold her to others. How are such parents any different from animals?"
Xia Wuyao's words reminded Lin Mengya of the past.
It's not like she has never seen a family so poor that they sell their sons and daughters.
Sometimes they are really forced by life, and they sell their children in order to find a way to survive for the whole family.
Under such circumstances, she had no way to accuse the other party of acting too viciously.
Because the real evil is the natural and man-made disasters that force them to survive.
But this child is different.
When she was trying to restrain the child, she discovered that the reason why the child was in his current condition was because he had taken some drugs that could transform the baby.
This kind of medicine with the effect of "reincarnation" has been sold since ancient times.
It's okay if it doesn't work, but I'm afraid that some of them may actually work and turn the fetus in the belly into intersex.
After such a child is born, it is a heavy burden for the entire family.
Especially in ancient times, after such intersex people were born, they were considered to be evil spirits or ghosts.
Basically, they will be killed by their family members in various ways.
It's not their fault per se, but no one would think so.
"I think this matter is a bit strange. The reason why this child became intersex is because she took some transmutation drugs when she was in the mother's body. As far as I know, such drugs are not cheap.
!" Lin Mengya said.
But after all, Xia Wuyao is a young girl who has not yet left the court, and even if she is told these things, she will not understand.
Just at this time, Granny Lu came over and wanted to say goodbye to the two of them.
On this trip, her biggest wish has been fulfilled.
Not only did she see the madam and the young lady escape from the misery with her own eyes, but her son could also continue to work for the madam, which made her even happier than the Chinese New Year!
She has made up her mind to take good care of her hands after going back.
She had heard what Wu's mother said just now, but she didn't expect that the young lady could be so powerful at such a young age. She and Miss Huo opened a girls' club together.

It's a new thing for her.
She had never thought in her life that there would be such a club for women, and she was lucky enough to go in and take a look thanks to her wife's blessing.
Moreover, she thought that since it was a club specifically for women, she would have to hire some servants to serve the ladies and ladies.
She feels that her physical condition is not bad, and she will continue to work for Madam and Miss after she recovers from her injuries.
Ouch! Just thinking about it, she felt like all the lazy bones in her body were relaxing.
As he walked in with a smile, he heard the words of the two girls.
What a coincidence.
She didn't know anything else in this harbor city, but they knew these things!
"Miss, Miss Huo, please allow me to interrupt."
Lin Mengya and Xia Wuyao turned around immediately when they heard Grandma Lu's voice. Grandma Lu was about to salute the two of them, but Xia Wuyao held her in her arms and asked with a smile: "Mother-in-law, do you know where such reincarnations can be found?"
Can the medicine be sold?”
Grandma Lu smiled and nodded, saying, "Have you forgotten what I do for a living?"
Lin Mengya and Xia Wuyao's eyes lit up!
Yes, others don’t know about this, but Grandma Lu has been a midwife for so many years, so she must know these things!
Seeing the anxiety on the two people's faces, she didn't give in. After thinking about it, she said: "Speaking of it, this thing is very powerful! It can harm people and also perfect people. I didn't touch it at all in the past. But then
, after I delivered a half-boy, half-girl fetus, I felt that this thing was harmful to people, so I inquired about it, but I didn’t expect that I actually asked him about it.”
Although Granny Lu has a high emotional intelligence, she has a bottom line.
She knows very well that when working in a wealthy family, the most important thing is to be clear-sighted and clear-minded, but she must be strict with her words and must not reveal even the slightest bit.
Only after delivering the half-boy, half-girl fetus, she heard some things she shouldn't have heard. Fortunately, he had been working in this industry for a long time and had a very good reputation.
The family member probably felt that the family scandal should not be made public, so he gave her some extra money.
After she took the silver coins, she stayed at home honestly for half a year. The family was relieved when they saw that no news spread.
Fortunately, she had the title of Madam to protect her, otherwise the family would have definitely found a way to deal with her.
And the things she heard were related to the reincarnation drug.
"Speaking of which, that lady's reincarnation medicine was obtained from her husband's family from an old Taoist priest."
