Jian Luo took a look at the documents not far away and felt a severe headache.
He didn't know about the other people in Anleyuan, but he knew very well that this marriage law was extremely biased towards the Dark Star people. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was formulated to protect the rights and interests of the Dark Star people.
It’s quite funny and a bit sad when you think about it.
Even if Dark Star grants amnesty to the world, some things in their bones will not change. Even if humans are released, they will still be treated as unimportant appendages.
"Dong Dong Dong"
There was a knock on the door.
Jian Luo came back to his senses and said to the outside, "Please come in."
Director Wang came in. His daughter recently started dating someone who was from the Dark Star and they were discussing marriage, so he was very concerned about marriage law.
Director Wang held up a glass of water and said, "Luoluo, are you thirsty? I'm afraid you've been working too hard. Come, have a drink."
Jian Luo looked at him, then at the glass of water shaking in his hand, and inexplicably remembered Pan Jinlian's words "Da Lang, it's time to take your medicine"
Jian Luo chuckled and took it: "Thank you, Director Wang."
Director Wang wiped his hands and sat down to the side. "Why call me Director Wang? Don't be so polite. Just call me Uncle Wang."
Jian Luo took a sip of water and nodded.
Director Wang glanced at him and said, "Well, is this draft of the marriage law okay?"
If you don't know him, you might think he is the one getting married because of his eagerness.
Jian Luo held the water glass in his slender, fair hand. He picked up the draft on the table and handed it to Director Wang: "How about you take a look?"
Director Wang took it.
He flipped through a few pages, his brows furrowed deeper.
Jian Luo felt a little relieved. After all, it seemed that Director Wang was able to distinguish right from wrong and was not blindly trying to curry favor with the powerful.
"Ah..." Director Wang shook his head: "It can be said that there are both good and bad things."
Jian Luo: "How do you say that?"
Director Wang held up the marriage case and said seriously, "Although some of the property and regulations here are indeed divided too clearly, there is still one last point."
Jian Luo: "What?"
"After we get married, we can move to Sky City," Director Wang said, beaming. "The resources there are so great! We'll enjoy endless wealth and prosperity once we get there."
“…”
Jian Luo choked up a little.
He had no intention of offending anyone, but he felt that this statement was inexplicably familiar. He had heard it before. At that time, many young people in the village went to work in big cities, and his parents and neighbors loved to talk about the scenery of big cities after dinner.
Their favorite topics of conversation are:
"If xx married into the city, she would surely enjoy endless wealth and prosperity."
"What a promising young man! He's the best in our village."
"In the future, I will also send my children to the city."
That was when the entire village had not yet been integrated with the city, and almost everyone had one idea: I want to go to the city.
Even though everyone knows that even if they move to the city, they may not become rich, but life in the city will definitely be better than in the countryside. This is a beautiful hope for life.
Jian Luo came back to her senses and picked up the Marriage Law with some helplessness: "How many people are engaged or discussing marriage recently?"
Director Wang was very excited: "At least seven or eight."
Jian Luo nodded: "Let them all come over, I want to hear what they have to say."
He couldn't be so arbitrary, maybe it was just his own idea.
He would rather hear what others have to say. Many things are meaningless if one person just thinks about them impulsively.
Director Wang thought there was a chance: "Okay, I'll have them come over right now."
Jian Luo waited for a while.
It was lunchtime now, and he only thought about eating when he had some free time. In order to better deal with these stressful matters, he moved his work office to the main office of Anleyuan, which was a bit far from his home.
"Squeak"
The door was opened.
He was starving when Su Liang came in. The woman was wearing a light yellow dress. She looked a little rounder than before, and her already pretty face had become much fairer. She stood at the door with her lunch box, looked at Jian Luo, and said softly, "It's time to eat."
Jian Luo was slightly surprised: "Why are you here?"
He remembered asking Su Liang to help him look after the cubs in the Dragon Clan, so why would the mother come here now?
"How are you going to eat if I don't come?" Su Liang put the food on the table: "You will definitely not be able to eat the food they cook."
There is a centralized canteen in the village, but the main cooking method here is boiling. Under the guidance of the moonlight, most areas of Dark Star have gradually begun to popularize cooking methods other than boiling, but Anleyuan is still living in the past.
Jian Luo smiled and said, "Just eat it for now. Thank you for making such a trip."
Su Liang took out the cooked food and placed it on the dining table beside him. He put his hair in a tuck and said, "Marshal Lu sent a car to bring me here. It wasn't a big deal."
Jian Luo was stunned.
"He's worried that you won't eat well and won't be used to the food." Su Liang helped Jian Luo unpack the tableware: "He told me this morning that he must come to see you at least at noon."
Jian Luo's heart softened, and he said, "Did Lu Shifeng give it to you?"
Su Liang turned around and sat down on the chair: "Yes, he doesn't agree, and it's not easy for Mom to come out."
Jian Luo came over and sat down at the dining table, buried his head in his food: "I'll go thank him later."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you for nothing." Su Liang finally couldn't help but glared at him. "Marshal, you're so obsessed with this. Even your mother-in-law has said so much, and yet you keep wanting to move out. I don't know what you're thinking about all day. You can just cry when someone takes advantage of you."
A few words are enough to prove Su Liang's disappointment in his friend.
Jian Luo responded softly: "I haven't moved out, it's just that sometimes it's too late to go back and it's troublesome."
Su Liang wanted to say something to him when someone came outside.
There were quite a lot of people coming, about seven or eight. They should have been called by Director Wang, but unfortunately they arrived at the wrong time and happened to catch up with him when he was having dinner.
Jian Luo thought about it and said, "Today."
We can't let people make a wasted trip.
A group of people from outside crowded in, mostly girls, with two boys as well. They were all young and good looking.
Jian Luo said, "Have you eaten yet? Sit down and have something to eat."
Everyone politely declined.
But their eyes were still fixed on the food on the table. After all, it was so delicious. Most families could not afford to eat so many good things in one meal. Whether it was meat or vegetables, in this society where nutrient solutions were rampant, they were only consumables for the upper class and luxuries for the poor.
Jian Luoxin understood.
Fortunately, Su Liang brought a lot, including five dishes and a soup, which he couldn't finish by himself.
So Jian Luo said, "It's okay, come and eat a little together."
The young men were greedy to begin with, so they all sat down after hearing what was said. Before they came, they were quite wary and hostile towards Jian Luo, but now their resentment was reduced a lot.
Su Liang stood up and said, "I'll get you some dishes and chopsticks."
The young people were a little embarrassed.
Jian Luo smiled and said, "We are all human beings, from the same race. There is no need to be so polite. Just relax. I called you here today to understand the situation. Don't worry."
His attitude was very friendly and approachable, and the young people quickly said:
"Thank you, Brother Jian."
"Ask me anything you know."
"We will definitely cooperate with the work!"
Jian Luo smiled. He finally took out the draft marriage law he had prepared long ago and explained the pros and cons of the marriage law, including its relevance to the current development of Sky City. Finally, he emphasized one point: "If you are just looking to move into the city, for jobs and resources, you must believe that Anleyuan will one day become a legitimate city. I will also do my best to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to connect with the city."
"You can get jobs and opportunities again, but you only get married once." Jian Luo explained to them: "If you put these aside, what do you think of this Marriage Law?"
The young people looked at each other.
Compared to their older generation, they are actually much calmer.
Finally, one girl said, "I'm not in a hurry."
Someone took the lead, and others also expressed their opinions:
"I'm not in a hurry either."
"I don't really want to go into town."
"Yes, I heard everyone say at the morning meeting that Anleyuan is going to reform its business. If I work here, I will be familiar with everyone, so it will feel better."
"This marriage law feels terrible. After a woman is married, her husband even controls her career freedom."
Just as Jian Luo was dissatisfied with the Marriage Law, this marriage law was too strong. Although it provided resources and accommodation for his wife, the husband had too much power.
Life goes on as normal, personal freedom, and even the power to distribute property resources are all in the hands of her husband, which is simply outrageous.
Of course, Jian Luo could just nod and agree to the Marriage Law. This would save trouble and avoid many disputes. After all, many people are now enjoying the joy of amnesty and are full of yearning for marriage. Even if there are some unequal treaties in the Marriage Law, they can reluctantly accept them.
but
But he couldn't be so careless.
He could indeed agree, but there would be endless troubles afterwards.
The weak status of human marriage will lead to family misfortune for so many people. Without the love of their husbands, the understanding of their relatives, and even the protection of the law, how desperate must people be?
Putting aside the purpose of these Dark Star people pursuing human children, the research institutes hadn't even released their results yet. If the data didn't satisfy them, what would happen to the childrenless married humans? He could not take responsibility for himself, but the burden had fallen on him, and he had to shoulder the responsibility to the best of his ability.
Seeing that these little guys were still quite rational, Jian Luo smiled with relief: "That's right, when you're looking for a marriage partner, you must keep your eyes open. Only when you meet the right person can you get married and have children. You must examine the other person's character, values, and how they feel about you. Do you understand?"
As soon as the words fell, the little girl across the table whispered, "Brother Jian."
Jian Luo came back to his senses and looked at her.
The little girl was a little shy, but she still said softly, "Can I ask you a question?"
Jian Luo: "Hmm?"
"Are you married?"
"No, this isn't it."
"Why?" The little girl's eyes gleamed with gossip. "You already have a child with the Marshal, but you haven't married yet. Is it because you're not suitable, or because after your investigation, you feel that the Marshal's character and values are not good enough?"
