When Zhou Lei finished speaking, Zhu Qiaomei was already expressionless. If it weren't for Gu Lihua here, Zhu Qiaomei's temperament would not have beaten and scolded Zhou Lei, she would have cried more in anger.

In today's era, women have lower status than men. The richer and more powerful a family, the lower status of women is than men. On the contrary, it is a farmer's family. Women's status is still lower than men, but it is much better than powerful families.

When they arrived at Fang Nan’s students, Fang Nan did not directly talk about equality between men and women to the students, but they were all classmates in the same class and had relatively equal status. In families like Zhou Lei and Zhu Qiaomei, both men and women respect each other, and basically equality between men and women.

If Zhou Lei's status is much higher than Zhu Qiaomei, then Zhou Lei will marry another wife, even if Zhu Qiaomei has any objections, he will not object. The reality is that Zhou Lei and Zhu Qiaomei respect each other, and Zhou Lei cannot marry Zhu Qiaomei home without Zhu Qiaomei's permission.

After Zhu Qiaomei was silent for a long time, she said to Zhou Lei in a very calm tone: "You go, I want to be quiet these days."

Zhou Lei opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him a few times, but Zhou Lei knew that Zhu Qiaomei seemed very calm, and the next thing was the outbreak of anger.

"Okay, Qiaomei, when I'm not here, don't do stupid things. Think about our children." After saying that, Zhou Lei looked at Zhu Qiaomei with a blank expression and slowly left with Gu Lihua.

After Zhou Lei and Gu Lihua's figures completely disappeared, tears had already slid down Zhu Qiaomei's cheeks, wetting the ground.

"Zhou Lang, my sister doesn't want to accept me, so I'd better leave." As she said that, Gu Lihua also shed tears.

Zhou Lang reached out and wiped away the tears from Gu Lihua's face and comforted him: "Don't worry, Qiaomei is a very good person, but she just can't think about it for the time being. Give Qiaomei a few days to calm down and will accept you."

After leaving Zhu Qiaomei, Zhou Lei arranged this residence for Gu Lihua in Hutou Village first. It is expected that Zhou Lei will live with Gu Lihua in the next few days. Then Zhou Lei came to Fang Nan again to seek the help of Teacher Fang Nan or his wife Hu Xiaoya.

"In the outside world, it is normal for a powerful man to have three wives and four concubines. We are just mountain people now. When we overthrow the Ming Dynasty, your teacher and you will become powerful people. I just hope that you will not forget the old ones when you have a new person." Hu Xiaoya said this as her teacher's wife when facing Zhou Lei's request for help.

"Master's wife, I understand. I will always be good to Qiaomei. With Lihua, I will never marry again." Zhou Lei promised.

Hu Xiaoya would not believe Zhou Lei’s promise, and it will still be long in the future. Hu Xiaoya still clearly remembers that her husband said, “If a man has power and power, he will easily become bad.” The aspects of becoming bad are more common among women.

When Hu Xiaoya came to Zhu Qiaomei's place, Zhu Qiaomei's eyes were red, she had stopped crying, and her face was full of sadness. She didn't know how to face Zhou Lei and Gu Lihua.

Seeing the teacher's wife coming, Zhu Qiaomei pounced on Hu Xiaoya's arms and started crying again.

"Woooo, Master's wife, what should I do, what should I do?!"

Hu Xiaoya gently patted Zhu Qiaomei's back and comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry anymore, there is no need to cry for a stinky man. Your life is not only for him, but also for your children and your parents..."

Under Hu Xiaoya's comfort, Zhu Qiaomei gradually stopped crying and listened to Hu Xiaoya's words.

"Qiaomei, do you know what men are like outside? It would be good for those poor people to marry a wife. Once a man is rich and powerful, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines. Your teacher said that the emperor has the most women, the fewest ones are dozens, and the most are hundreds.

The strength of our People's Army is increasing every day. I believe that the People's Army will definitely overthrow the Ming Dynasty. After overthrowning the Ming Dynasty, your teacher will become the emperor, your husband and other students will become high-ranking officials, will they still satisfy their only one wife?

I guess certainly won’t, but I can’t stop your teacher from marrying a wife again. All I can do is follow him. As long as I keep following him, I will be satisfied..."

Hu Xiaoya's words seemed to be persuading Zhu Qiaomei, and she seemed to be persuading herself. Hu Xiaoya had never thought about Zhou Lei before. Suddenly, such a thing happened, and Hu Xiaoya soon thought of herself.

Fang Nan and Hu Xiaoya are far more like Fang Nan and the students spend a long time together. When talking on weekdays, Hu Xiaoya can learn more from Fang Nan.

Fang Nan never told Hu Xiaoya that she would marry and take concubines, but words like "A man who has power and power can easily become bad" are worthy of Hu Xiaoya's vigilance, but what is the use of being vigilant after being vigilant?

If Zhou Lei's incident happened to Fang Nan, Hu Xiaoya felt that she would cry silently in secret, and then accept the existence of the newcomer. She would not seek death or leave Fang Nan for the newcomer to appear, because she likes Fang Nan and is willing to give everything. Even if Fang Nan no longer likes him, she would silently follow Fang Nan.

When the People's Army overthrew the Ming Dynasty and established a new country, Fang Nan became the emperor, Fang Nan would have only one wife. Hu Xiaoya would not believe this, and the ministers would advise the emperor to give birth to more children.

The emperor's heir is very important to the country. It is not enough to have only one two heirs. No one knows whether an accident will occur and the country will be in a very dangerous situation.

Hu Xiaoya knew that her personality was a little different from Zhu Qiaomei's, but Hu Xiaoya could feel it. Even if she didn't come to comfort and persuade Zhu Qiaomei, Zhu Qiaomei would eventually accept Gu Lihua. Her comfort and persuasion might speed up Zhu Qiaomei's time to accept Gu Lihua.

"This is a world dominated by men. We are all women, and women live for men." Hu Xiaoya sighed with emotion. The words she said to Zhu Qiaomei had already persuaded herself, but she didn't know whether she was persuaded or not.

A few days passed quickly, and Zhou Lei appeared in front of Zhu Qiaomei again, but Zhu Qiaomei ignored Zhou Lei and said nothing to Zhou Lei.

Afterwards, Zhou Lei and Gu Lihua appeared in front of Zhu Qiaomei together. Zhu Qiaomei still ignored Zhou Lei, but said a few words to Gu Lihua, but there was no intention of rejecting Gu Lihua in her words.

Time passed day by day, and Zhu Qiaomei had accepted Gu Lihua. The two of them were sisters, but they still had few words to Zhou Lei, because Zhou Lei pushed all the mistakes on him. It would take some time to make Zhu Qiaomei forgive Zhou Lei and restore the situation before Gu Lihua.
