"But if human society develops to the point where they no longer have to worry about survival, and the differences between men and women are no longer so obvious, the patriarchal social system will naturally disappear, and the matriarchal society will rise again in its place."
As he spoke, Sakaki Makoto laughed again:
"However, a matriarchal society will only flourish for a period of time. When technology reaches its peak, there will no longer be any so-called patriarchal or matriarchal societies."
"almost."
Ignoring her daughter's dumbfounded expression, Akai Mari looked at Ogawa Seiji and asked:
"What really surprises me is that the practice of visiting wife marriage should have completely disappeared after the Meiji Restoration in 1868. Why do you bring this up?"
"You only know one side of the story, but not the other..."
Ogawa Chengzhi bared his teeth and organized his words:
"During the war, Japan suffered a huge loss of men. It is not an exaggeration to say that nine out of ten houses were empty. In this situation, in order to ensure the supply of soldiers, the government encouraged people to have more children to ensure future expansion plans."
"As a returnee from overseas, my grandfather is an elite among elites, and there are many girls who like him, so..."
"So even though your grandfather was married to your grandmother, he still had a lover outside, right?"
Domon Yasuki spoke in a low voice, in a very bad mood:
"If you want to keep a lover, then keep a lover. What's the point of talking about visiting the wife in marriage?"
"Uh-huh...."
After being scolded, Ogawa Chengzhi looked a little embarrassed. He scratched his head, not understanding why he was the one being scolded in the end for what his grandfather had done.
"Akutagawa Fuuna was also a returnee at the time. To be precise, she and my grandfather went to the same university. The difference was that her grades were even better than my grandfather's, and she was a government-sponsored overseas student."
"After returning to Japan, my grandfather hid in the Akagi Mountains. Akutagawa Fuuna was introduced by my grandfather to become a teacher at the Teachers' Training Institute. The two of them often interacted with each other without my grandmother's knowledge until..."
“Until my grandma found out.”
Ogawa Chengzhi took a sip of the mineral water handed to him by Hongshu, stole a glance at the old woman, and after making sure that she didn't hear the conversation, he continued:
"According to my father, my grandmother lost her temper and almost blew the roof off. This incident has left a lingering shadow on his childhood."
"Has your grandfather severed ties with Akutagawa Fuuna?"
"No... I was going to cut it off, but Akutagawa Fuuna got pregnant unexpectedly, and in the end... just... oh!"
Ogawa Seiji didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only shake his head and sigh.
Can you let your husband and lover stay at home?
Even if he didn't say it, everyone guessed what would happen next.
I'm afraid the so-called daughter and granddaughter are actually the descendants of Ogawa Yoshio, but...
The old woman refused to admit it.
"Oh, your grandma is really good-tempered."
Domon Yasuteru snorted coldly.
"She really loved my grandpa."
"Huh? Huh?"
Conan, who was listening in, suddenly crossed his legs and interrupted their conversation:
"Don't you think this story...sounds familiar?"
