After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise. Oh, there is so much information in these words!
Did Zhang Guojun leave all his wealth to the old man when he died? Well, that's fair. After all, the old man is the head of the family, so it's normal to give it to him. But if he treats Zhang Guojun's children badly, that's really hard to justify.
"Nonsense!" Zhang Haisan's eyelids twitched several times in anger. "Who doesn't discuss marrying off their daughter with their parents?"
Chen Xuezhi didn't say anything and instead retreated behind the crowd. She had nothing to do at the moment, so why should she get involved?
Let that damn old man deal with it himself!
Aunt Dawu, however, wanted to please Zhang Haisan's family and chimed in: "Yeah, it's normal for every child's marriage to be decided by their parents!"
Some people in the village also nodded, thinking that this was correct.
Zhang Xingrong knows that in this era, many people in rural areas still hold the idea that their children's marriage should be decided by their parents.
However, no one dared to mention this trend openly before.
She immediately escalated the issue: "Gender equality, freedom of marriage, and protection of the legitimate rights and interests of women and children. Parental arrangement of marriages is feudal thinking and belongs to the Four Olds. This kind of practice is unacceptable! If you don't believe me, let's go to the commune and ask if what I say is true!"
When talking about feudal ideas and the Four Olds, the scene suddenly fell silent.
What commune? They wouldn't dare!
If you really want to make trouble in the commune, you will either be criticized or your life will be in jeopardy!
Zhang Haisan was also stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Xingrong to say such a thing.
This girl didn't even finish junior high school, how could she know all this stuff? The commune had come to promote ideological education before, but she wouldn't listen. What about freedom of marriage, what about legal rights? What bullshit!
"That's right," Aunt Dahua quickly chimed in, "It's a different era now, who would sell their daughter..."
Before she could finish her words, Zhang Haisan glared at her, and Aunt Dahua was startled by her stare.
But when she thought of how good Zhang Xingrong had been to her, she steeled herself and said, "Master Hai, even if you glare at me, I'll tell you this. These days, dating and marriage are all consensual. How can you tie someone up in a bridal sedan? Isn't that selling your daughter?"
"Dad, it's really wrong for you to do this. Miss Rong doesn't want to get married, how can you force her to marry him off?" At this moment, Zhang Guokuan came out and said.
Zhang Xingrong was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhang Guokuan.
Zhang Guokuan was her fourth uncle. In her impression, he had little presence and was rather timid. However, when she was in prison in her previous life, Zhang Guokuan and his wife did visit her several times and brought her some gifts.
When she was ignorant in her previous life, she really looked down on Zhang Guokuan's family, but now when she saw them again, she was overwhelmed with emotions and her eyes were red.
True character is revealed in times of adversity, and only then will you know who is truly good to you.
"Fourth Uncle...thank you!"
This is what she wanted to say to him in both her lifetimes!
Seeing Zhang Xingrong thanking him with red eyes, Zhang Guokuan suddenly felt embarrassed: "What...what are you talking about!"
People in the production team rarely say "thank you" or "sorry", which makes them feel embarrassed.
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Haisan was so angry that his face turned red when he saw that his fourth son dared to come and disobey him. "Go back!"
Of his four children, the one he disliked the most was this timid, silent fourth son. Even his third daughter was more courageous than this son!
