Chapter 1135 1142. Li Ah (3)

The practice of favoring sons over daughters is very common in rural areas, especially in fishing areas. Many families take it for granted as a tradition.

There is no doubt that this is very unfair to women, but for fishermen, this tradition has its reasons.

First of all, it is an old tradition that only sons can inherit the bloodline. The children born after the daughter gets married will take the surname of the other party. This is very fearful for fishermen who drift on the sea all year round. Fishermen drift and may be buried in the belly of fish in a storm one day. Only blood inheritance is reliable.

Secondly, the fishermen make a living by rowing and fishing on the sea. In the past, fishing was a laborious job. Women could not do this job, so they had to rely on men to support the family. Therefore, the more men in the family, the more labor, and the better life.

In addition, the fishermen have a bad temper. When they encounter troubles, they will fight. If there are many men in the family, their fists are hard and their words are tough. If there are no men in the family, they dare not quarrel with others outside. Some people are even very hateful and specifically bully those families with few men.

Take Longtou Village and Wangjia Village as examples. In history, the two villages had armed conflicts from time to time, and they all relied on men to solve the problems. In the past few years, Wangjia Village was able to suppress Longtou Village because of Wang Youwei, and now Longtou Village can sweep the surrounding areas because of Ao Muyang. Regardless of Wang Youwei or Ao Muyang, they are both men.

As for other old ideas such as raising sons to prevent old age, these have now dissipated a lot, mainly because there are more and more unfilial descendants of fishermen, but girls are more filial. If you want to raise children to prevent old age, it is better to raise daughters.

Ao Muyang called several village cadres, and then went to the village committee office to wait for the meeting.

Ao Muqing and her daughter came late, and they had to take care of the two babies at home and put them to sleep before going out.

Before the mother and daughter came, Ao Muyang asked: "Dongzi, Wenchang, do you two like boys or girls? Do you want boys or girls when you want children in the future?"

Ao Wenchang was a little dissatisfied and said: "Longtou, why are you talking about something else? My wife can't have children, and this is a pain in my heart."

Ao Mudong also twitched: "Longtou, I haven't met Zhu'er yet. Aren't you a little impatient to discuss the issue of children too early?"

Ao Muyang rolled his eyes and asked Ao Daguo and others: "What about you? Do you like sons or daughters?"

Several people didn't know why he asked these questions, but they knew that Ao Muyang was good at playing routines, so after exchanging glances with each other, they said: "It doesn't matter whether you have a boy or a girl!" "Listen to the party on this aspect."

"In fact, as long as my wife gives birth and it is confirmed to be mine, then sons and daughters are fine, I am very rare." Ao Mufeng said at last.

Hearing him say this, Ao Mudong and other young people nodded deeply touched.

Ao Muyang patted the table and said, "Very good, it seems that our village's ideas on treating future generations are still very positive."

"It's all thanks to you, Longtou, for your good teaching." Ao Wenchang complimented him.

Ao Muyang said, "No need to flatter, Xiaoqing from Aunt Pigeon's family came to me this morning. She just gave birth to two daughters, and then her husband's family disliked her because of this. It's not even the end of the confinement period, and it's still winter, Xiaoqing ran back with two children, what do you think about how to solve this problem?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room exploded immediately.

"Fuck, this family is so grandson? I don't even have a wife yet, and they are not satisfied with having granddaughters? This is a problem, and it's a problem that has been spoiled, and I can cure this problem, it's a typical problem that deserves a beating!" Ao Mudong was very angry.

Ao Wenchang was also very angry: "What's wrong with having two daughters? I dream of having daughters, and I don't need two, just one will do! This time I support Dongzi, beat them up!"

Ao Daguo persuaded: "Everyone, be rational, be rational, this kind of thing of favoring boys over girls, this is not the first time we have seen it, right?"

"You are still rational, Daguo, you should know that the day when you hold your grandson or granddaughter is still a long way off. Now the children don't want babies, maybe your son won't hold your grandson or granddaughter for you in the future, take this as a reference, and think about this matter again!"

Ao Daguo wiped his mouth and said: "That's right, their family deserves a beating, they think there are no men in our Longtou Village, right? The girls who get married in our village are like spilled water, right? Damn, beat them up, let off some steam!"

The opinions were surprisingly unified, and everyone unanimously asked to beat them up.

Ao Muyang regretted not being able to find Lu Zhizi. These people together were not as reliable as his own wife. They were all a bunch of birds, who couldn't help him at all, and would only cause trouble.

But this was a great comfort to Ao Muqing and her daughter. When they arrived, they saw that the backbone men in the village were so united in hatred of the enemy, and they were moved to tears.

Ao Muyang asked Ao Muqing's mother: "Aunt Pigeon, you know Xiaoqing's affairs better than us. Have you been to her house?"

Aunt Pigeon is a woman in her fifties. She is not as fierce as Sandeng's wife. She is just an ordinary fisherman's wife.

After hearing Ao Muyang's inquiry, she rubbed her hands and said stiffly: "Alas, I went there, of course I went there. It was me who took care of Qingqing's confinement a few days ago. Her husband's family refused to care. Alas, it's really a sin."

Ao Mudong said angrily: "Aunt Pigeon, you said you didn't tell us earlier when you encountered such a thing? Can the married girls in our village be treated so badly by them?"

Aunt Pigeon lowered her head and said: "What's the matter? My daughter gave birth to two girls. It is indeed a shameful thing for her husband's family."

Ao Muyang was speechless for a moment. The older generation's concept of favoring boys over girls is really irreversible.

Ao Wenchang couldn't help but said: "Aunt Gezi, you actually think so? Are you Xiaoqing's biological mother?"

When the big guy accused her, the woman cried in grievance: "Young and old men, what can I, an old woman without a man, do if this happens? I went to their home, and I could only say some nice, soft words and a lot of words. Do some work, otherwise what can I do? I feel sorry for my daughter, but I can get angry, but if I get angry I have nothing to say, and won’t it be my daughter who is wronged later?”

Ao Muqing hugged her mother's shoulders and cried.

After listening to Aunt Pigeon's words, no one can blame her anymore. This is really to the point.

Including them, they can beat people and show off their authority, but as long as Ao Muqing doesn't divorce her husband, it will be Ao Muqing herself who suffers after this happens.

Ao Mudong pinched the bridge of his nose and muttered: "Oh, this matter is not easy to handle. Xiaoqing, tell me, are you still willing to live with your man? Otherwise, divorce is not an option! You can find a dog with three eggs. , let alone a man with two eggs?”

Aunt Gege was dumbfounded: "Huh? Are you going to get divorced now? It's only been a month since the baby was born, so you're going to get divorced now?"

Ao Muyang thought for a moment and said, "Well, Xiaoqing, give me your man's phone number, and I'll go meet their family."
