They didn’t have the guts to go to Han Qingsong to compete sizes or to handle the matter. Instead, they took their anger out on their children, beating them before claiming that they were merely speaking nonsense.

The children’s mothers were naturally unhappy.

Those who didn’t have children involved and who weren’t embarrassed in public were more willing to get involved. They chatted with the children who had a tendency to gossip and teased them in all sorts of ways, “When your parents sleep at night, who is on top?” “Have you seen your father sneakily savor some sweet honey on your mother’s mouth?” “Is your mother’s back side fair? How big is your grandmother’s…”

Speaking of such explicit and obscene things.

A sensible child would spit at them, call them hooligans and have the Security Director deal with them.

Children who were not as sensible would be tricked by them, sometimes even coaxed by others with a piece of candy, a rabbit woven out of straw or a bird that was caught. With a reward in mind, the child would then speak of anything and everything that they have seen occur at home.

With several members of the family crowded on a single kang, even though they covered themselves with a quilt and retired to bed early, husbands and wives truly couldn’t hide their hanky-panky behavior from their children.

Therefore, this seemed to be the biggest source of entertainment for many in the village who enjoyed gossip.

Lin Lan wasn’t afraid. After all, she and Han Qingsong hadn’t been in the same bed yet. Even with the limited number of times before, things only got heated mostly in the middle of the night when their children were still young and didn’t think much of it.

Besides, Dawang would definitely not gossip about this. Erwang was shrewd but didn’t like to suffer losses, so he was out of the question as well, leaving Sanwang who liked to participate in these discussions. Fortunately, this kid only talked about his father to dampen others’ spirits. It didn’t involve her, let alone the things that shouldn’t be described.

Especially after being told off and educated by her, Sanwang also restrained himself a lot.

Even so, Lin Lan was still a little worried.

After all, she had received a modern education and felt that this was a social phenomenon. If the guidance provided was not good, it would be easy for problems to arise.

For example, the reason as to why things like seduction and rape were easy to occur in the countryside was largely because of the low cultural quality.

Some things were not said between the public, making the members curious and afraid when incidents actually happen. Some men could not control themselves and some women were not capable of protecting themselves. Hence, tragedies were prone to happen.

Since it was impossible to popularize this type of modern culture in a short time, shouldn’t it be possible to at least normalize physiological hygiene?

Men’s health relations were left to the village doctors, secretaries and cadres whereas the children’s matters were handled by the school. On the other hand, women would seek guidance from the women’s Director and even educated youths with the slightest insight of education could help.

Things that should be normalized included making it known that there were no mysterious ways of life as husband and wife. It would be good for women to educate their daughters about the precautions that needed to be taken during menstruation as well. These were normal physiological problems instead of ‘dirty’ discussions that should be shunned at. Girls should also nurture self-respect and self-love as they shouldn’t allow people to touch their private parts, let alone have indescribable relationships, so as to avoid pregnancy.

In fact, there were a lot more things that could be said and done.
