Chapter 139: The Fall of the Qing Dynasty, Official Disintegration (6)(1/3)
"No, we are the master's people, we cannot betray the master."
The female foreman sneered and spread her hands: "After the new constitution appears, you must be yourselves. If you live with your master, it is illegal. Your master will be detained and undergo labor reform. You will also be detained!"
These women who regard their master as their god are worried.
But some girls who were once sold into slavery and worked as maids gradually changed their minds.
The female foreman comes to the factory almost every day to talk to everyone about common things.
These female workers working in the factory have quietly undergone some changes in their hearts.
After working in the factory for a month, the gentry and even the country men did not want women to work in the factory.
Because what the loudspeaker shouted made many men feel the crisis!
They rushed into the factory, hoping to let their wives go back to support their husbands and raise children.
Tap tap tap~
The new troops appeared with neat steps.
They directly taught these people how to behave.
Unlike in the south where things were moisturized quietly, in the north they were directly driven away with strong force.
The men were angry, but they were afraid of the guns and did not dare to say anything.
It wasn't until a month later, when the female workers had finished their work and were taking a routine break, that the men spoke to the female workers.
"You can't work for the new dynasty."
"Why? Are you turning a deaf ear to the Constitution?"
"I just can't work! Those Mr. Liu said that you are going to be bewitched!"
"Li Datou, are you blind? Didn't you go to the factory to see it? I was working there at the time. And what's wrong with us making money to support our family? What can we do with your little salary? Why can't we go out?
Work?"
"It just doesn't work! Mr. Liu said that this is the collapse of etiquette and music. If this continues, something big will happen!"
"What do you think men are? Didn't the new court propose equality between men and women? We have to work!"
Li Da Nao was stunned.
Is this the same woman he was before?
No.
You can't do this.
"You can't go to work anymore, I will support you!"
"What are you raising? The seven children in the family can't even get enough to eat by relying on you."
Li Datou hesitated: "No, you can't be fooled by evil words anymore!"
Then, Li Datou taught his daughter-in-law what it means to be the head of the family.
Regardless of Liu Wujie's cries and wailing, he immediately started to take action!
He played very well on the first day.
The next day Li Da Naou was unlucky.
A mutual aid association composed of women called the Women's Federation appeared in front of Li Datou.
"The Constitution says that men and women are equal. Any man who bullies a woman without any reason must be punished. Why do you beat your wife without any reason?"
"My wife just can't work!"
"Fifth Sister Liu, tell me what's going on."
This woman named Liu Wujie told the story about Master Liu seducing her husband.
Then these women's federation people went directly to find Mr. Liu with guns in hand.
Big head Li will also be taken away.
"Director, don't arrest me as the boss!"
"Don't worry, we will only lock them up for a few days."
Sister Liu cried and complained about how good her man was, but the Women's Federation was unmoved: "The new dynasty stipulates that in the future, if either man or woman forces the other, causing serious physical or mental damage, they must go to a solitary confinement room to calm down."
Another tough Women's Federation arrested Mr. Liu.
After Mr. Liu was tied up, he kept shouting: "You bunch of cheap maids dare to arrest me. Aren't you afraid of my cousin?"
"Who is your cousin?"
"My cousin is the current county magistrate."
"Caught one piece."
"Bold...ahhh..."
Mr. Liu still wants to show off his power of words.
The Women's Federation gave him a beating.
Fifth Sister Liu looked worried. She was afraid that her husband would also be hurt.
"Fifth sister, don't worry. If you are harmed in the future, come directly to our Women's Federation and we will help you redress your grievances!"
"Oh well!"
Seven days later, Li Datou came back.
After coming back, he became more respectful and affectionate toward Sister Liu.
In short, a few days of confinement and reflection on life have made men become more honest.
Women became more supportive of the new dynasty.
Women from poor people flocked to the new dynasty because the new dynasty gave them jobs.
The wives and daughters of wealthy people supported the new dynasty because the law protected them.
Women are not fools, they can naturally feel what is good and what is bad.
So they quickly accepted the new constitution and supported the new dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.
These women responded to the call and actively studied the Constitution.
The gentry, scholars and businessmen, a circle composed of wealthy men, gradually became unable to unite because of the restlessness in their families.
The clan's judicial power has also been quietly torn apart because of the relationship between men and women.
The privilege of the gentry with the right to take concubines was completely shattered.
In fact, it has always been monogamy in ancient times.
Anyone who has three wives and four concubines requires a certain status.
And this status is either an official status, a nobleman, or someone with rich assets and a good background. Otherwise, they can only keep a maid as a housewife.
The emergence of the new constitution directly and severely attacked all privileges.
Some scholars who were dissatisfied with the constitution of the new dynasty and the rule of the country by Legalism, before they even started to unite to make trouble, were mentioned by their own daughter-in-law, wife, elder sister, younger sister, and even my mother.
"You bastard, you only care about the two ounces of meat in your crotch to rebel against the new dynasty."
"Don't move... let go... let go, I just oppose the legalist rule of the country."
"No, you just don't like us women!"
Men say it’s just for learning, but what does women care about that?
Women's status was low in Confucian times, and they didn't want that to be the case.
The men were suddenly so angry that they couldn't vent their anger.
Do you dare to hit me?
Don’t dare!
Anyone who dared to resist beating his wife would be directly arrested by the Women's Federation and put in solitary confinement.
It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, and every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite.
Reasoning with women?
Please.
Women are emotional creatures, and they care about who treats them well.
Why women like scumbag men!
Because a scumbag's sweet words can make people happy.
An honest, taciturn man, no matter how down-to-earth and reliable he is, will not tolerate sweet words from others.
Women don't reason with men.
