59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

"I heard that your stepdaughter became a child bride?" Chen Feng asked knowingly.

Xu Damao nodded calmly.

Chen Li sat on the side listening with her ears perked up and a White Rabbit candy in her mouth. She also took a sip of the soda bottle and drank it mixed with the sugar water.

"It's a bad influence after all. You might as well love Meng Xiaozao more, so that the rumors can be dispelled. It's not that you don't love your stepdaughter, but that your stepdaughter is unfilial."

"I've already used my connections to arrange for her to go to school. Isn't that enough?"

Meng Xiaozao is in the first grade of the Red Star Primary School, but she has no basic knowledge and her grades are not very good. He Yushui said that Widow Meng also wanted Ran Qiuye to give her daughter extra lessons and asked if she could do so together with Chen Hao and others.

Sha Zhu firmly disagrees, but he has no final say on this matter!

The old man hasn't spoken yet.

Chen Feng thought it was okay, and Meng Xiaozao was a good girl who would repay a favor.

Although I don’t know what Wang’s parents think, it’s not a bad thing to arrange a childhood sweetheart for Fatty Wang in advance.

Just like what the old lady was thinking, it doesn’t matter whether Zhu Lin and Chen Hao can succeed or not, having an extra Plan ABC is always better than having no backup plan at all.

When you grow up, who doesn’t envy those who have childhood sweethearts?

Everyone hates others showing off their affection, but everyone wishes their own family could show off their affection too!

"How about this, when the winter vacation comes, you prepare something for Teacher Ran, and then let Meng Xiaozao take extra lessons with Chen Hao and the others. As for my family, let Xiaozao help the old lady and my mother wash clothes in her spare time."

"it is good!"

Xu Damao agreed immediately. Before, Meng Xiaozao washed the clothes for the Xu family, but Widow Meng had already given birth to a child, so she could wash the clothes herself in the future.

"If there are snacks, why not let Xiaozao bring more to Yushui and Kaixuan to maintain good relations. Regardless of your grudges with Zhuzi, don't affect the next generation."

Xu Damao said helplessly: "I tried to show my goodwill several times, but that idiot Shazhu refused to give up."

"He is being a jerk. He won't feel comfortable for the whole day without an enemy like you!" Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Next time he makes trouble, you might as well let Teacher Ran know. Then he will either sleep on the floor or kneel on the washboard!"

"That's possible!" Xu Damao couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Li was listening with great delight.

In her little account book, she still remembered the last time Sha Zhu came to her house to "steal" candy!

When I have time in the future, I will definitely tell Teacher Ran more about Xiao Hei!

The scheming little loli thought smugly.

"How is your health? Have you gone to see a doctor outside?"

When Xu Damao heard this, he couldn't help but look gloomy.

"I have looked for people in the northeast, northwest, and south, and asked them all, but I am not sure. If this kind of aphrodisiac prescription is effective, there wouldn't be so many women in the backyard of old men in the city who followed their nephews and sons into bed!"

"Ha, is there such a thing?" Chen Feng said with evil humor.

Xu Damao also laughed. Men always have a lot of common topics on such things.

"Of course, remember the one in the backyard of No. 178 in our alley?"

Of course Chen Feng remembered.

"There are thirteen people in the family. I heard that there were also several maids and concubines who were stripped of their slavery and given freedom after being liberated."

"That's right. Back then, Master Wang had a sixteen-year-old concubine, and he even hired eight people to carry her in a sedan chair through the back door."

In the old city, only the wife could be carried in, concubines from respectable families could only go through the side door, and prostitutes in brothels could only go through the back door.

This feudal ethical order has strict standards.

It can be said that from the very beginning when the concubine entered the house, her status was suppressed by the wife.

In later novels, it is rare for a concubine to bully the wife.

Legally, a concubine had the status of a slave who could be "traded and bought", which was fundamentally different from the "equal" status of a wife.

The Qing Dynasty Law Code clearly stated that a wife could not make a concubine her legal wife, and the two must be strictly distinguished. This legal system meant that no matter how favored a concubine was, she could not escape the fact that she was in a low position.

If they are not careful, they are more likely to be sold or abandoned at will.

The huge advantage in social ethical rules allows the wife to have almost absolute control over the concubine. As long as she is ruthless and ignores her husband's anger, she will basically not be punished even if she sells the concubine or beats her to death as long as her family has some official background.

"And this person stole her son?" Chen Feng asked with his eyes wide open.

"no!"

Xu Damao paused for a moment, then said slowly, "Her sixteen-year-old grandson, the eldest grandson!"

"Ha, this melon is really big!" Chen Feng couldn't hold back his expression.

He knew that the homes of the powerful and wealthy were dirty. The Dream of the Red Chamber talked about this a lot, with things like a brother-in-law having an affair with his sister-in-law and an old man having an affair with his daughter-in-law. But he didn't know that the reality was really that dirty.

"Why are you so hungry?" Chen Feng asked with a gossipy look on his face.

"Big Pot, do you want some water?" Chen Li turned around.

"Well, give me a soda."

It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but once he did, Chen Feng felt a little dry in the mouth.

This is the physiological change caused by the incestuous story.

The little girl gave him a bottle of soda.

Xu Damao went on to say, "It is said that it was because Mrs. Wang was jealous of her youth and beauty, and felt that she was a prostitute and a disgrace to the family, so she found excuses to whip her every day."

"In order to take revenge, this concubine deliberately seduced the eldest grandson of the Wang family."

"After the incident, they were going to beat her to death, but the concubine was pregnant, so they had no choice but to hold their noses, give birth to the child, and prepare to sell her."

"Then, the city of Sijiu was liberated!"

Chen Feng felt a chill for a while!

If the city of Sijiu had not been liberated, this woman with a miserable fate but a somewhat extreme and strong character would have been sold to the mountains or to a brothel, and would have definitely died a miserable death.

There are many perverts among the people in the old city who are behind closed doors.

Even Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong, who came from middle-class families, were eccentrics!
