Chapter 866 Preferring boys over girls
Everyone was thinking about how to deal with this matter.
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find a solution that would satisfy both parties.
After all, if this matter was so easy to solve, the team leader and his men would not have been forced into letting that family go and having to watch them continue to jump around in the production team.
From time to time, he causes some trouble to disgust people.
Didn’t the aunt who told Liu Jingxue about this say that if no one wanted to add a few more mouths to feed, they would have already taken the adults in that family to the police.
Although the team leader and his men had warned them that there would not be a next time, otherwise they would expel their entire family from the production team.
But in Liu Jingxue's opinion, this is not a good solution either.
Believe it or not, just as the family was driven out of the production team, the next second the two little girls were either thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves or sold to an unknown place.
And if we drive that family out, where can they go?
Food is in short supply now, so which production team would be willing to add a few more mouths to feed for no reason?
It would be fine if that family were diligent and willing to work, but since they are all lazy and cunning, no production team would be willing to accept them.
Now is not like the later times, where everyone is allowed to travel freely and make a living everywhere.
Once they are driven out, they will probably go to the commune, but no one will be willing to accept them. The commune leader will step in, and the team leader and his men will have no choice but to accept them back.
This makes things even more serious.
The two girls were dealt with by them, and the family also knew that the production team could not just kick them out of the team, and the previous warnings were just intimidation.
I’m afraid there will be no way to check and balance this family in the future.
Liu Jingxue thought about it and muttered to herself, muttering out all these possibilities.
A "bang" sound was heard, which scared Liu Jingxue, and she quickly looked up towards the direction where the sound came from.
When he looked up, he saw Liu Jianguo punching the kang and angrily said,
"This won't work, and that won't work, are we just going to let them run rampant?
Why is it so different outside than in the military? Even though we know it’s a bad thing, we can’t punish it openly.”
"Silly boy, you can't stand it." Old Wu shook his head, "After all, you are still young and have been in the army. You still have too little experience."
"Let me tell you, the Red Star Production Team was still good. After all, both the team cadres and the villagers were willing to protect the two girls. They snatched them back halfway and interrupted the transaction.
Try changing to another production team. I'm afraid they will not only not stop you, but they might even take advantage of you and sell the worthless girl at home for some money.
In the countryside, where people make a living by physical labor, girls are not worth much.
I have been in the Red Star Production Team for more than two years. The atmosphere in this production team is quite good. Although preference for boys over girls is inevitable, it is not as serious as in other places.
You should know that in many places, it is not uncommon for baby girls to be strangled to death, drowned, or thrown into the mountains to feed wolves.
When I was young, I traveled all over the country and heard a lot of such stories. "
“After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, such incidents have become less common than before, but they do exist. They are just not as rampant.
But in the Red Star Production Team, I had never heard of such a thing.
The cadres of the Red Star Production Team have made great contributions to this.”
Mr. Wu’s words shattered Liu Jianguo’s three views.
Liu Jingxue was fine. After all, she had seen it in movies, TV, and novels before. Although it was a little shocking, she had prepared herself mentally, so after a while she calmed down.
Because of the nature of his troops, Liu Jianjun often carried out missions outside and had seen a lot. He had probably heard of such things before and quickly accepted them.
Only Liu Jianguo was left. He had been in the army all along, filtering out some of the bad habits in the world. Upon hearing this, he could not help but curse.
"A newborn baby girl was killed by her own relatives like this, is this something a human being could do?
If you don't want her, why do you want to get pregnant with her?"
Elder Wu spread his hands and said, "What they wanted was a boy who could support the family and continue the family line, but who knew it would be a girl.
If the sex of the fetus could be known as soon as it was conceived, I'm afraid most girls in the world would never have the chance to come into this world."
Liu Jingxue sneered, "They may have forgotten that their mothers and grandmothers are both women.
If there were no women, they would not have the chance to come into this world.
If there were no women in this world, the human race would have become extinct long ago."
"Isn't this just like picking up the bowl to eat and putting down the chopsticks to curse your mother?"
Mr. Zou blew out a smoke ring and sighed, "It's not easy for women in this world.
Although the slogan "women hold up half the sky" has been shouted for decades, it is not so easy to truly achieve gender equality among the people.
Not to mention the countryside where people make a living by physical strength, after all, women are not as strong as men by nature. "
He glanced at Liu Jingxue who was sitting opposite him and said, "How many women in this world are as strong as Xiaoxue?"
Liu Jingxue thought to herself that true equality between men and women has not been truly achieved, let alone now, even in the future.
Haven’t you seen that in later generations, no matter where they are or what they do, women will face various kinds of gender discrimination or encounter various invisible rules.
It is not easy to truly achieve gender equality.
Mr. Zou patted Liu Jianguo who was sitting next to him. He knew that Liu Jianguo was upset. Mr. Zou couldn't bear to see such a kind-hearted boy suffer, so he comforted him.
“Jianguo, there are many unfair things in this world, and most of them cannot be changed by one person alone.
You can't do it, I can't do it, and even that person can't do it.
Didn't he mention the equality of men and women? After so many years, he still can't change the idea of male superiority and female inferiority that has existed for thousands of years. "
“Nothing in this world can be achieved overnight; it can only be changed little by little.
Things are pretty good now. Don’t you see that some people’s mindsets have changed, and even the countryside has seen changes.
Didn’t you hear from your Grandpa Wu that there are fewer cases of baby girls being killed at birth nowadays?”
"Take your time, it will change one day.
We have to look forward, we can’t give up, we can’t be hard on ourselves, we have to work hard in that direction.”
Liu Jingxue deliberately provoked Liu Jianguo, "Brother, you only have Little Tiger now, and it is still unclear whether you will favor boys over girls.
When your sister-in-law gives birth to a daughter in the future, you won’t be like other people and favor boys over girls, right?
Wouldn't that be a slap in the face?"
"How could I be that kind of person?" Liu Jianguo defended himself.
"Just wait, little sister. If I have a daughter, I will love her even more and treat her better than I treated Little Tiger."
Liu Jingxue deliberately said in disbelief, "Then I'll wait and see if you can keep your word, big brother."
"Let's not talk about anything else, let's think about how to deal with Wang Dana's family." Seeing that they had strayed from the topic, Liu Weihua quickly brought it back.
"Hey, this is a difficult matter, it's not right or wrong.
No wonder the captain and his men handled it that way last time."
