Chapter 305: 104: Defeats Li Xianxian, Gains Younger Female Fans _2
“Understanding?” Ni Yang’s expression remained unchanged, “How do you think I should understand, Sister Xianxian?”
Li Xianxian hesitated and continued, “I heard it was because my aunt couldn’t have a son, so my uncle sought someone else. We can’t entirely blame my uncle, after all, a male child is the lifeline of a family. My uncle did wrong out of desperation for a son, no matter what, he is your father. As children, we should acknowledge our parents, no matter what, even if they committed murder.”
“Actually, Yangyang, I really envy you. Your parents are still together, unlike me. I don’t even know what my parents look like…”
By the end of her sentence, Li Xianxian’s eyes had reddened. She made it seem like Ni Yang was oblivious to her good fortune.
At the same time, her words successfully painted Ni Yang as an unfilial daughter who did not recognize her biological father.
Mo Baichuan on the side took a sip of tea, the corner of his mouth twitching into a slight smile.
He was interested in seeing how Ni Yang would resolve this crisis.
Li Xianxian was well-educated, while Ni Yang was merely a country girl. No matter how skillful Ni Yang was in arguing, she couldn’t beat Li Xianxian.
“Sister Xianxian, you’re really noble, tolerating even something like this.” Ni Yang’s expression was mild, and her lips held a faint smile, seemingly unperturbed by Li Xianxian’s words.
Li Xianxian continued, “Actually, this is not a big deal. Besides, we girls should obey our fathers when we’re home and our husbands when we’re married.”
At that time, China had only recently been freed. Many people still held this outdated ‘submit to the father at home, and husband when married’ mentality.
Gender equality was a thing of the future.
Which married woman does not wish to have a son?
Without a son, a woman lacked status in her husband’s family.
Of course, Li Xianxian, who came from the past, did not have these old-fashioned thoughts. The only reason she said these words was to please Grandma Mo.
She was trying to show her virtuous and well-behaved side to Grandma Mo.
In families like the Mo Family that had a long legacy, these outdated ideas were more prevalent than in ordinary people.
Ni Yang smiled lightly, lifting her eyes to Li Xianxian, “Then, I wish Sister Xianxian to marry a husband who is abusive, cheats in marriage, and seeks other women to bear sons.”
Upon hearing this, Li Xianxian’s face changed, “Yangyang, what do you mean by that?”
Was Ni Yang jealous of her and therefore cursing her?
Having experienced a rebirth, Li Xianxian attached great importance to these matters!
She was afraid that Ni Yang’s curse would come true.
Ni Yang smiled faintly, “There’s no special meaning. I just want you to understand the saying ‘Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you.’”
Li Xianxian was stunned for a moment, then her eyes reddened with grievance, “Sorry, Yangyang, I didn’t mean that. I just think that divorce carries a bad reputation…”
Grandma Mo frowned slightly. She felt that Li Xianxian was a bit petty. Ni Yang was just returning the favor, yet Li Xianxian acted as if she had been wronged. It was quite unbecoming.
Ni Yang asked with a smile, “Divorce has a bad reputation? What’s wrong with divorce? Where there’s oppression there are protests. Are we women naturally destined to be bullied? Those who don’t fight back after being bullied aren’t people, they’re like doormats!”
“Sister Xianxian, it’s a new era now. We women must not stand still. We must respect ourselves, be independent and resilient, and not let anyone look down on us!”
On hearing this, the others also nodded in agreement.
Why should women always be the ones being bullied?
If they can’t have a son, it’s the woman’s fault.
If they are divorced, it’s the woman who gets the blame?
It’s too unfair for women in this world.
Especially Lin Pingping, who had experienced divorce. She knew the bitterness of it.
Li Xianxian was just trying to show her virtuous and well-behaved side to Grandma Mo and Mo Baichuan. She didn’t expect to cause public outrage. Her face took on an awkward color right then.
Looking at Lin Pingping’s face, Li Xianxian’s heart skipped a beat.
She had forgotten about Lin Pingping!
Lin Pingping was Grandma Mo’s only niece. By saying divorce carries a bad reputation, wasn’t she indirectly offending Grandma Mo?
Li Xianxian hurriedly tried to rectify the situation, her eyes becoming even redder, “Yangyang, you misunderstood me! I simply meant a family should have descendants, and uncle only wanted a son. As his children, we cannot deny our own father…”
