While Ahudala went to the palace, Jimo Qiao felt bored staying in the house, so he came to Chai Yan and said he wanted to go out for a walk.
Chai Yan was actually very tired after two days of traveling, but when he saw Jimo Qiao's great expectation and desire, he couldn't bear to refuse him.
After Chai Yan talked with Ahudala's attendants, the four of them went to the street.
After coming out, Chai Yan saw that Jimo Qiao was very excited and said: "We have agreed beforehand that we can't go too far, so we can just take a stroll nearby."
Jimo Qiao nodded and said, "I understand, I won't go far."
After saying that, Jimo Qiao ran to a street stall and looked around.
The three of them just followed Jimo Qiao all the way around. Whenever they encountered something good-looking, interesting, or delicious, Jimo Qiao would ask to buy it.
Chai Yan was not stingy either. After all, he had collected a lot of money from the horse bandits, so buying this small amount of money was nothing at all. It was just a tourist purchase.
Half an hour later, Jimo Qiao's excitement had passed, and she was tired from walking, so she looked for a place to rest.
Chai Yan pointed to a noodle shop on the street and said, "Let's go sit there and have something to eat. We're hungry too."
Jimo Qiao took one look and immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay."
When the four of them arrived at the noodle shop, one of them ordered a bowl of plain noodles and started eating.
To say that the taste of this noodle shop is really good, Chai Yan and the other four people were full of praises, and they wiped out the noodles in a short time.
The four of them were chatting after eating when they suddenly saw a woman running hurriedly down the street. She was holding a baby in her arms and looked very panicked.
The woman was crying while running forward, because a middle-aged man was chasing her. The man was chasing and cursing, and the dirty words he said were simply unbearable.
After this scene appeared, pedestrians on the street were giving way. Everyone just watched the excitement, and no one had any intention to stop it.
Jimo Qiao stood up immediately, frowned and looked outside and said, "What's going on? Is no one in charge?"
Chai Yan was worried that Jimo Qiao couldn't bear it and rushed out to meddle in his own business, so he quickly stretched out his hand to hold Jimo Qiao's wrist and said: "This is the capital of Muyue Kingdom. Someone will handle it. You sit down."
After saying this, a man and a woman on the street had already run away. Jimo Qiao looked at their backs and had no choice but to sit down.
After a while, some of the guests who had gone to watch the fun returned to the noodle shop.
The noodle shop owner walked over and asked the man: "I must have given birth to another baby girl, right?"
The guest nodded and said: "You are right, I gave birth to another baby girl, this is my fourth baby. Alas..."
After sighing, the guest shook his head helplessly.
Jimo Qiao heard this conversation, so he called the noodle shop owner over and asked curiously: "Boss, do you know the man and woman who ran over just now?"
"We know each other. They are a couple. They live on the next street and often come to my place to eat noodles." The noodle shop owner said.
Jimo Qiao asked again: "I heard you just now that the family gave birth to a baby girl. Isn't the birth a happy event? Why are you still making trouble on the street?"
The noodle shop owner smiled slightly and asked: "This fairy girl, you must not be from our Muyue country, right?"
"What's wrong?" Jimo Qiao couldn't help but frown.
The noodle shop owner immediately waved his hand and explained: "Xiangu, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. I just want to say that in our Muyue Kingdom, it is very common for girls to be born in their families."
"Wait, how do you say this?" Jimo Qiao became more and more curious.
At this time, Chai Yan, Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie also cast their eyes on the face of the noodle shop owner, probably wanting to hear him elaborate.
Seeing that there was no work at hand for the time being, the noodle shop owner said, "You four may not know that giving birth to a girl in Mu Yue Kingdom means losing money, so no one is willing to have a girl... Well, let's talk about the couple just now.
, this is their fourth baby girl. It is estimated that her man couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to drown the baby, but his wife didn't agree, so she chased her into the street..."
"Wait, what did you just say? Are you going to drown the child?" Jimo Qiao was shocked and immediately asked: "When you said drowned, did you mean drowning with water?"
The noodle shop owner sighed and nodded to Jimo Qiao.
Jimo Qiao exploded instantly and said loudly: "How is this possible? Such a young child has just been born, how can he, the father, be able to do this?"
Jimo Qiao's reaction immediately attracted the attention of the customers in the noodle shop, but the customers only glanced at it and quickly looked away.
Jimo Qiao asked the noodle shop owner: "No one cares about this kind of thing? This is killing people!"
The noodle shop owner suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He smiled reluctantly and said, "Four of you, I have something to do over there, so I won't chat with you..."
After saying that, the noodle shop owner hurried away.
"Hey, don't go, we haven't finished talking yet." Jimo Qiao wanted to call the noodle shop owner back, but the noodle shop owner didn't even look back as if he hadn't heard.
Chai Yan raised his hand and pressed down on Jimo Qiao, saying: "Okay, stop yelling, my boss has already answered you."
"Where's the answer? He didn't say a word." Jimo Qiao said.
Chai Yan said patiently: "If you don't say a word, it means that people have acquiesced. Don't you understand?"
Jimo Qiao was stunned for a moment, then said: "No, doesn't the government care about such a bad thing?"
Chai Yan said seriously: "As the saying goes, different regions have different customs. In a foreign country, we should take care of ourselves."
"Coco... No matter how different you are, you can't drown a child alive. This is too cruel and I can't accept it." Jimo Qiao was so angry that his face turned purple.
Suddenly, Cheng Jiu, who was in a quiet state, suddenly spoke: "In fact, it turns out that in our Stone Kingdom, the situation of giving birth to a baby girl is almost the same. Some people's families are so poor that the baby girl will be suffocated to death as soon as she is born, so as not to have to pay for more in the future.
Too much money......"
Yu Tie nodded slowly, proving that what Cheng Jiu said was true.
"Why?" Jimo Qiao couldn't understand at all.
Chai Yan said: "As far as I know, in some places, when a woman gets married, the dowry is entirely borne by the woman's family, while the man's family does not have to spend a penny. Moreover, the more dowry a woman brings, the higher her status will be in her husband's family in the future.
The higher you are, the less glares and cold treatment you will receive, so..."
"Absurd! It's simply ridiculous. What's so great about you men, why do you treat women like this?"
At this moment, Jimo Qiao's lungs were about to explode.
