2365 Who said that women are inferior to men?
“Grandpa Qian, what do you think a man can do? besides getting married and having children, what can’t I do?” Gu Xin asked in a serious tone.
“This …” Old master Qian paused.
“If the Imperial court allowed women to participate in the Imperial examinations, I believe that I would be able to reach the stage of the general examination. I might not be able to get into the top three, but I would be able to get into the top two. I’ve been listening to my father’s lectures for Enzi, and I know how to write the articles that Enzi knows.”
“Men go to the battlefield to protect their country. However, in the great Zhou Dynasty, there is also a group of women who have participated in many battles. Women aren’t inferior to men!”
“When it comes to business, my mother has taught us sisters since we were young. The Gu sisters” shop was opened by us four Gu sisters. If we split the work and work together, in fact, both of us can do what the other has done. Back then, the four of us started out in our family’s small workshop.”
“We know how to farm too. Uncle brought us to grow so many new species, we know almost all the habits of various crops. We’ve been influenced by our grandparents and uncle since we were young. We know how to look at the weather and eat. We know when it will rain and which year the weather will be dry. We can take good care of the crops.”
“My second sister has made many contributions to the life and learning of the great Zhou, as well as to the military. I dare say that these things have made things more convenient for the common people and also for the soldiers.”
“My fifth younger sister and I have also learned woodwork from fourth uncle. Although we are not proficient, we can make some small things and also know a lot of the principles.”
“As long as it’s something a man can do, I and my sisters can do it too. Some men can’t even go to the battlefield, but we sisters can too. So, Grandpa Qian, as a girl, I have no regrets at all, really. Grandpa Qian, you can’t have such thoughts. A woman didn’t necessarily have to marry someone and then stay at home to help her husband and raise children. Like men, women can also support their families and do more useful things.”
Gu Xin’s words made the entire living room quiet down.
For a moment, they all felt that it was right, but they also felt that it was wrong. Not everyone could raise daughters like the Gu sisters.
However, the Gu family was just a peasant family who worked in the fields.
Then how did the Gu family raise such a girl?
Zheng Qiu’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Gu Xin, as if there were stars in them.
Gu en happened to see it, and his heart skipped a beat.’Oh my, this silly boy. Brother ah Yuan is still here. Does he have to show his adoration and admiration to third sister so openly?’
Now that third sister is here, brother ah Yuan might not do anything to you, but if third sister isn’t here, you’re dead!
Gu en turned to look at Lu Zheng and saw that he was looking at Gu Xin with the same expression as Zheng Qiu. He sighed in his heart.
It’s over. These two men are finished.
Forget it, it’s fine if brother ah Yuan didn’t notice, I don’t have to remind him.
He had saved Xiao Qiu’s life. Next time, he could go to Xiao Qiu’s house to get a free meal. He could not even sleep in Xiao Qiu’s room last night. This miser, he would just go to his house to sleep next time.
That’s right, why should a woman entrust her heart to a man? Did she give up just because she was betrayed and abandoned?
In this world, love was not the only thing. There were other things that could be done in this world, so why was he stuck on this?
