But the two brothers were too clever for their own good. Such feudal customs had long been abolished in big cities. Mao Fangfei was an intellectual who had received a new education, so how could she care about such things?

So what the two brothers said didn't affect her mood at all. She calmly peeled the walnuts and left it to Fang Yanming to do.

Her second sister-in-law said that women should never try to solve the difficulties caused by their mother-in-law's family. They should leave it to the men and let them fight amongst themselves. If a man gangs up with his parents and brothers to bully a woman, then it's better to divorce him; life is unbearable.

Ye Qingqing shook her head as she listened. She never expected Fang Yanming to have such foolish family members. No wonder Fang Yanming was so smooth and shrewd, and valued material things so much.

Because his family of origin couldn't help him at all, and might even have hindered him, he could only rely on himself to climb up the social ladder, not caring about how to accumulate wealth.

"I think you don't need to go back for Chinese New Year anymore. I heard that Fang's hometown is very feudal, and women have a very low status. When guests come to the house, women don't even have the right to sit at the table," Ye Qingqing muttered.

Fang Yanming's hometown was a particularly feudal and superstitious place where women's status was extremely low, and it was common for men to beat their wives. Moreover, the locals thought it was normal, and the atmosphere was particularly bad. Ye Qingqing had seen reports about that place online before and couldn't believe that there were still such backward and ignorant places in this day and age.

But it's true. The saddest thing isn't that men look down on women, but that the women in that area look down on themselves. They feel it's normal that they don't deserve to sit at the table to eat because their mothers went through the same thing. They also feel it's normal for men to beat their wives because their mothers were beaten like that...

It is this kind of environment that produces such a pathetic and hateful woman.

Ye Qingqing didn't know where Fang Yanming's hometown was before, only that it was a small county in the north. Later, after hearing Lu Mo talk about it, she learned that it was a place known for its strong preference for sons over daughters, and that the entire region had a very serious preference for sons over daughters. After witnessing the behavior of Fang's parents today, Ye Qingqing really believed it.

Mao Fangfei smiled and said, "It's okay. With Fang Yanming here, he won't let me suffer. Besides, I'm not a weak woman. If they won't let me sit at the table to eat, I'll just dissect all their pigs and chickens alive."

After she finished speaking, she smiled again, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Of course, she wasn't as nonchalant as she appeared. Forensic pathologists, such a sacred profession, to say she was unlucky—she'd remember that grudge. She'd show this family her amazing skills when she had the chance. Meat was meat, bone was bone, internal organs were separated, perfectly arranged on the Fang family's dining table, and then perfectly sewn up in front of them.

If we won't let her sit at the table, then nobody should eat at all.

She refused to believe that these people would still be able to eat after witnessing her swordsmanship; she herself hadn't dared to touch meat for over a month!

Inside the house, Fang Yanming spoke calmly, “It’s fine to visit the ancestral hall or the graves. Fangfei and I don’t have time anyway. If you like, go visit the graves more often and let your ancestors bless you.”

Fang Yanming didn't want to talk to these idiots anymore. He called his brother at the railway bureau and changed the sleeper tickets to seated tickets. There were only two sleeper tickets left, which he gave to his parents.

"You two seem to have plenty of energy, so why don't you sit down and go back?"

Fang Yanming said calmly.

Ye Qingqing chuckled. This was a brilliant move. She had to teach her ignorant relatives a lesson. It seemed she wouldn't need her antidote after all.
