Chapter 163 Extra Class
"Can it be like this?" Not every young girl is in love. After seeing the unfortunate experiences of the female elders in the family, more people actually have a fear of marriage.
Some well-informed people directly used the example of Lu Yu in "pre-marital training" to illustrate.
Then, even more mysteriously, he continued, "I heard that the 'pre-marital training' was also run by the headmaster. So even if we here are unreliable, the 'pre-marital training' can still provide help."
However, as soon as these words came out, someone poured a bucket of cold water on everyone: "The prerequisite is that you must have money in your hand."
"Why? Would the headmaster just sit back and watch his former student?" This person is definitely one of those people who has never been beaten by society and is too naive.
"Because the headmaster won't save fools." At this time, everyone realized that it was Chu Ci himself who poured cold water on everyone. Upon hearing the sound, everyone immediately made way for Chu Ci.
The student who was called a fool by Chu Ci seemed a little aggrieved.
Because Chu Ci usually got along very peacefully with the students, the student was a little embarrassed but not afraid.
"Headmaster, I'm not stupid. I just don't understand. If they have to rely on 'pre-marital training' for help, doesn't that mean they're desperate? So why aren't they helping?"
The student asked loudly with grievance and confusion, and this was exactly the question and voice in the hearts of many students present.
Chu Ci looked at the puzzled students before him, smiled slightly, and then patiently explained: "Dear students, after graduation, everyone here will have learned at least two or three skills, right?"
Everyone didn't know why Chu Ci mentioned this, but they all nodded seriously.
"These numerous skills are not meant to be just for display. Instead, they are meant to give you the confidence to survive no matter where you are."
"Of course, having skills alone is not enough. You also need to be able to be self-reliant and strong. You must learn to decisively reject unreasonable requests when it's time to do so." When Chu Ci said this, almost everyone became thoughtful.
"However, what if the rule in their family is that all the resources of the family are controlled by the head of the family and the head mistress of the family?" At this time, a student in a green coarse cloth dress mustered up the courage to ask.
Perhaps this is the actual situation in her family!
Chu Ci couldn't help but sigh. "The situation you describe must be the reality for many farmers. This relates to what I just said about unreasonable demands."
"It's unreasonable. Is this family rule unreasonable?" The female student in blue asked hesitantly.
Seeing this response so deeply touched the female student in green, Chu Ci felt a little regretful. "What if it's reasonable? What if it's unreasonable? You now, and even you in the future, will ultimately be unable to resist."
At this point, Chu Ci saw the blue-clothed student, and his whole body wilted. "Even the dean can't do anything?"
Now that he had come to this, Chu Ci simply elaborated in detail on some of the situations that one might encounter after marriage, just as an extra lesson for the students.
"Fellow students! You must understand that this world is a world where men are respected."
"All favorable policies and customs favor men."
"Then do you know what the favorable regulations and customary rules are for women?"
After Chu Ci asked this question, there was a sudden silence, and the atmosphere was so quiet that it was a little scary.
After a long while, Shi Shengsheng, who had only come to join in the fun but had taken Chu Ci's question to heart, finally said softly, "A woman's dowry should only belong to her and her children."
"The answer is correct, but unfortunately there is no reward." Chu Ci said this in a funny way.
Sadly, no one present found it funny.
Chu Ci had no choice but to continue: "Even if a family's rules are unreasonable, all resources are controlled by the head of the family and the mistress of the house. There is no reason for them to control a woman's dowry."
"Of course, the world is full of wonders. You may have seen that some shameless families are always thinking about their daughter's dowry!"
Having said this, Chu Ci looked around and saw that most of the people had red eyes.
Chu Ci did not offer any comfort, nor did he deliberately downplay the crisis they might face in the future. Instead, he said in a resounding voice:
"That's just a thought. As long as you have enough courage and wisdom to control the situation, they will be helpless. Even if they harbor resentment, they will never have any other effective way to take your dowry except by resorting to extreme murder."
"Murder? They would actually kill for dowry?" Even though the situations at home were chaotic for the people present, they were essentially just teenage girls.
The word "murder" was beyond their imagination.
Some even tried to read Chu Ci's face to see if he was joking. However, Chu Ci's face was serious at the moment. "Let me tell you an example..."
So, Chu Ci, from the perspective of an observer, took up the example of Ding Jianzhou again and told it in detail.
As Chu Ci was being narrated, many students present couldn't help but put themselves into the story.
Their expressions kept changing as the story progressed, sometimes they turned blue with nervousness, and sometimes they turned pale with fear.
When they hear those thrilling plots, their bodies will tremble unconsciously and their hearts will be filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
Their eyes were fixed on Chu Ci, as if they were trying to find some comfort in his story.
…
Until I finally heard that the second wife successfully divorced and took most of the children away.
And the girl who was planned to be a concubine luckily broke off the engagement. Their hearts, which had been hanging in the air, finally slowly settled down, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had escaped from a terrible nightmare.
Chu Ci, like a demon, actually asked them to summarize. "After listening to this story, what are your thoughts? Everyone, please speak freely."
The students present all looked dismayed, but there were some who were still unafraid. They still refused to believe it and stubbornly demanded an answer: "Headmaster, is this story true?"
"Yes, Ding Cheng in the story, whose original name was Ding Jianzhou, was originally a scholar from Dingjia Village on the outskirts of the city." Chu Ci said directly without blinking.
