Mrs. Shen's words caused the surrounding area to fall into complete silence.
The men were silent. Some of them thought she made sense and fell into deep thought. Others, even if their ideas could not be changed for the time being and they still liked boys, could not say anything to refute.
After all, the Shen family is now rich and influential in the village. The men even began to wonder if it was because of their own bad behavior towards their daughters that they had never made a fortune like the Shen family.
The women felt a little ashamed for a moment, but the girls were deeply moved, and several of them even had tears in their eyes after hearing what they heard.
Isn’t that the truth?
They are girls, so they are not human beings? Why should they be treated like that?
Hu Laosan's wife said respectfully, "What the old lady said is so right! Women should understand women's sufferings the most. If even women make things difficult for other women, how can we live in peace?"
"That's right!" Old Madam Shen nodded. "Anyway, I've made this clear. I don't care how other families treat their daughters, but we in the Shen family won't allow that. If my four grandchildren dare to bully Fubao or do anything bad to him, their grandfather and I will break their legs and kick them out of the house!"
"Yes, let's see who dares to bully our daughter!" Old man Shen was filled with righteous indignation.
Shen Zhiyi and Shen Zhile immediately said, "Grandpa and grandma, we don't dare!"
Old Madam Shen glanced at them and said, "Humph, you wouldn't dare to do that."
"This is natural. Not only do we not dare, we will not let others bully Nannan, otherwise we will never let him go!" Shen Zhile clenched his fist.
Seeing his grandparents and two brothers protecting him and venting their anger for him, Fubao felt very warm and moved.
She quickly took the kettle beside her and walked to the edge of the field. "Grandpa, grandma, brother, let's stop arguing. Don't worry about what others think. As long as Nannan knows that you love me, it's good. Come, drink some water. Your throat must be burning from talking so much, right?"
The old couple were angry just now, and their throats were indeed a little dry. Seeing Fubao bringing them water, they were immediately very pleased and cast a proud look at the people around them.
It seems to be saying: Look, my daughter is so sensible and considerate, and she is sincere. You don’t have such blessing!
Aunt Zhao didn't know what to say. The village had indeed been promoting the idea that having a boy or a girl was equally good, and what Old Lady Shen said made sense. But that was a tradition that had been passed down for thousands of years. Could it be changed?
Just then, the old village chief passed by with his little grandson Shen Jianian. He listened to what the old lady said just now and thought it was very well said.
It is really rare for an old man who grew up in the old times to have such ideological awareness. He is more open-minded than some young people.
It has always been advocated that women hold up half the sky. That was said by the big shots above, and it carries so much weight and authority. But these country bumpkins just didn't listen, and the culture of favoring boys over girls is still very serious.
As soon as the old village chief appeared, the villagers greeted him with respect.
It is said that this old village chief was a university professor before. He took a group of educated youth to the countryside and settled down here. He is committed to developing the village and leading the villagers to become rich. Now life is indeed getting better and better, so the villagers respect him very much.
The old village chief came over, rubbed Fubao's hair kindly, and then smiled at Mrs. Shen, "Old lady, I see that you have a very high level of ideological awareness. The village just happens to be in need of a women's director. How about you take the position?"
