I understand that in your hearts, traditional ideas are like an old tree with gnarled roots, deeply ingrained.

They were convinced that only men could carry on the family line and continue the family ancestry.

But if you think about it carefully, aren't girls also your blood relatives?

From the moment she was conceived in the womb, she has been intimately connected with you.

The blood flowing through her veins is the same bloodline as yours, a connection that can never be severed.

After a girl grows up, gets married, and has children, it is still your bloodline that continues. Why can't you understand this?

If you have the ability, you can find a husband for your daughter. The children born can also take your surname, so how could the family line be broken?

In the future, your daughter may be able to become the pride of the family through her own efforts, bringing glory to your family and making your family famous. What's wrong with that?

As the man listened to Lin Yuze's words, his eyes gradually lost focus, becoming empty and confused, as if enveloped by layers of thick fog, completely losing his way.

His mind went blank, Lin Yuze's words echoing in his head, and the outdated ideas his mother had instilled in him flashed through his mind from time to time.

The two ideas clashed fiercely, leaving him feeling agitated.

He instinctively clenched the hem of his clothes, his fingertips turning white from the force. He stood frozen in place, as if under a spell, completely at a loss.

He originally had no opinions on these matters and listened to his mother's instigation, which is why he hardened his heart to drown his newborn daughter.

Not only that, his mother also planned to bury the child at the threshold, superstitiously believing that this would prevent the girl from being reincarnated into the family again, and completely cut off the idea of ​​this "money-losing child".

These days, his mother keeps nagging him, saying that girls are just a burden to the family.

If you raise them, they'll just end up as someone else's wife, a waste of food. It's better to get rid of them early to avoid trouble.

He was easily swayed, and coupled with his lack of knowledge, he believed it without really understanding it.

But at this moment, the words of the official in front of him were like a beam of light, piercing straight through the thick fog that imprisoned his thoughts.

He began to swallow unconsciously, his throat felt dry, and his inner struggle intensified.

Yes, the blood flowing in her daughter's veins is truly her own, and the children she gives birth to will also carry on her family's bloodline.

Moreover, this is no longer the old era of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, but the world of the Tianxuan Kingdom.

The emperor of Tianxuan was enlightened and magnanimous, allowing women to enter the court as officials and display their talents.

He couldn't help but think of Old Li's daughter in the next village, who was literate and educated.

Now he has a job in the city, lives a decent life, and often sends money home, benefiting his whole family.

If I had the ability, I might actually be able to find a husband for my daughter, and then she could enjoy a comfortable retirement.

As the confusion in the man's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a look of determination, they watched as the bewilderment faded away.

Lin Yuze secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his tense shoulders slumped slightly, and his furrowed brows gradually relaxed, thinking that this difficult persuasion had finally taken a turn for the better.

However, at that moment, the old woman who had been kneeling beside the man suddenly exploded like a powder keg that had been lit.

"How can they be the same! Girls are just a waste of money, born to spill water, how can they be compared to boys!"

The old woman screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice sharp and piercing, like blades that mercilessly tore through the oppressive, stifling air in the room.

As she shouted, she suddenly raised her arm and pointed at Lin Yuze with her thin, bony fingers with bulging veins.

Her body trembled violently from excessive excitement, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.

"Your Excellency, you are such a high-ranking official, you cannot deceive my son!"

Her face was filled with stubbornness and dissatisfaction, and the veins on her neck bulged out.

Like twisted earthworms, their eyes were wide open, as if trying to see through Lin Yuze, their gazes filled with suspicion and resistance.

After venting her dissatisfaction with Lin Yuze, she quickly turned her attention to the woman, glaring fiercely at the woman holding the child.

His eyes seemed to be poisoned, filled with disgust and loathing, as if he wanted to devour the woman alive.

"It's all because of you, you useless thing!" the old woman continued to curse, her finger like a sharp thorn, pointing straight at the woman.

Spittle flew everywhere; if the woman hadn't been on the bed inside the room, the spittle would have splattered all over her face.

"You've been pregnant for ten months and still can't give birth to a boy. What a waste of all the meat I've given you to nourish your body!"

I fed you the best food and drink every day, hoping you would give my family a son, but what happened?

What use is a girl! Once the official leaves, I'll make sure my son divorces you and marries someone who can bear him a son!

The woman huddled up, holding her child tightly in her arms, tears welling in her eyes, but dared not utter a sound, silently enduring the storm of scolding.

Her shoulders trembled slightly, like a frightened fawn, appearing so helpless and pitiful under the malicious verbal attack.

Her lips trembled slightly as she tried to defend herself, but was drowned out by the old woman's curses, and could only swallow all her grievances and pain.
