When the divorce was announced, the man here was extremely anxious.
The woman over there was secretly happy. Why?
As long as someone sets a precedent for divorcing their husbands, their status will change. Will those men dare to be so arrogant in the future?
If their husbands at home are making trouble and don't take them seriously, they will try to divorce them to see if they dare to treat them like this again in the future.
County Magistrate Ma was also frightened by his sister's bold idea. Since ancient times, men have divorced their wives, but women have never divorced their husbands.
Men have always been the sky and women have always been the earth, and the earth revolves around the sky, so women have a very low status.
When it comes to family ties, he really wants to help his sister, but the ancient rules make him not know how to help.
“This…” Ma Youcai didn’t know how to answer.
"Sir, you absolutely cannot do that!" At this time, a man dressed as a teacher walked out of the crowd.
"Dean Ma, what are you doing?" Ma Youcai said to Ma Guanyao.
It turned out that the person who came was Dean Ma from Shu Ren Academy. When the men saw him come in, they objected and thought that the divorce was definitely a failure, so they finally felt relieved.
"Sir, I don't agree with divorcing a husband. Since ancient times, men have always divorced their wives, and there has never been a concept of divorcing a husband." Dean Ma said his theory.
"This..." Ma Youcai was in a dilemma. He wanted to help his sister, but he didn't dare to agree to such a rebellious thing. He looked at his sister in a dilemma.
Li Yun waved to Ma Youcai to comfort him, and then said to Dean Ma.
"Dean Ma, right? I heard you're the dean of Shuren Academy and a great scholar. You must have read a lot of books, right?
I want to ask you, where have you read so much that you look down on women?
I want to ask you, is your mother a woman? Is your wife a woman? Are your sisters women? Do you bully your mother at home, bossing her around, or even beating her up, treating her like a servant instead of a human being?
I remember that the Jin Dynasty attached great importance to filial piety. The current emperor was very filial to the empress dowager. How could scholars in the Jin Dynasty be like this?
If the current emperor knew about this, I wonder if he would punish Dean Ma.
There is still one thing I don't understand. A pedantic teacher like you also teaches your students in this way.
If students learn this theory, will they go home and point fingers at their servants like a mother would? Can the students they teach really serve the Jin Dynasty? Will they only hinder it?
Is there something else strange? I'm curious about how Dean Ma came into this world. If you weren't born by your mother, you must have been born from a huge rock.
"No, a big rock can't blast out such a pedantic person. Sun Wukong was very filial to his master. That's what the river brought. No, the Yellow River is the mother river. It can't give birth to someone who doesn't value women." Li Yun angrily scolded Dean Ma, "I told you to meddle in other people's business and look down on women. What a joke."
"You...you bitch, you dare to talk about this old man like this, confusing right and wrong.
"I tell you, since ancient times, women have always regarded their husbands as their heaven. Don't you understand the Three Obediences and Four Virtues? You are such an ignorant woman, how can I argue with you?" Dean Ma was so angry that his beard stood on end. At the same time, he was speechless after being asked by Li Yun, not knowing how to refute.
"Dean Ma is not unwilling to compete with me, but he is unable to win.
You said that women regard men as their heaven, but I disagree. Everyone would write the word "good", right?
Good is a constant measure of a person's quality. If a man is not a good person, why should we listen to him?
Do you know what the Chinese character for "good" (好) is made of? It's made up of the characters for "woman" (女) and "son" (儿). If men are truly heaven and women are earth, why doesn't "son" come first and "woman" come second? Is this character really a word?
Chinese characters are extensive and profound. Since the character "好" (good) is composed of the character "女" (woman) first and the character "儿" (son) second, it means that women do not necessarily have to regard men as their superiors.
Besides, women are capable and can hold up the sky.
Have you ever heard the story of Nuwa mending the sky? With her own skill, she repaired the broken sky and even created humanity. Isn't she magnificent? Men and women of later generations remember her kindness. Wasn't she a woman? How many men could possibly accomplish what she did?
What about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues? I'm telling you, I disagree. Obey your husband at home, obey your husband after marriage, and obey your sons after your husband's death. But let me ask you, if your father is a violent man who beats and kicks you every day and doesn't even give you food, should we still obey him?
If my husband is also such a person, do we have to endure it?
Just like what happened to my aunt, her husband and his family wanted to destroy her innocence. Should she just do it without resisting?
Fellow villagers, you all have daughters (or sisters). If your relatives encountered something like this, what would you do? Would you accept it silently or support your family? Li Yun initially offered a lot of advice, then passed the ball to the people, letting them make the decision.
Dean Ma saw that Li Yun had gone astray and quickly said, "As you said, we can divorce amicably. Divorce will not have much impact on women."
"Yes, divorce." After hearing what Dean Ma said, the people suddenly understood.
"Divorce? Why should we pay for their wrongdoings? Does divorce really not affect women?
Dean Ma is so helpful to the Liu family, could they be relatives?
Or maybe Dean Ma also wants to follow the Liu family's example and ruin his wife's innocence.
With this precedent, no one will say anything in the future?
It is President Ma who wants to teach this kind of culture to the students of Shu Ren Academy so that they can put their knowledge into practice.
However, has Dean Ma ever thought about what will become of the Jin Dynasty after the students learn it and try it out on their own?
