After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

"Has it been right since ancient times? Now is a new era, and the old rules are no longer applicable." Lan Xin said, staring straight at Sixth Master, making him feel uneasy.

"Or are you still thinking about the old times? But the Qing Dynasty has long since died, and now the people are in charge. A great man once said that women hold up half the sky. Don't you agree with that?"

"You, you, you...don't talk nonsense..." Sixth Master was gagged by Lan Xin's words, his eyes widened, as if he was going to faint.

Oh my God, can you just say that?

Sixth Master was anxious and angry. He wanted to faint, but he didn't dare to do so for fear that Lan Xin would blame him.

Anyone who has witnessed the parade and criticism in those years would have been deeply impressed and terrified. But Lan Xin kept saying "the Qing Dynasty" and "disapproving" at the same time. Isn't this sending him to prison?

The people who were watching on the side also became anxious, their hearts were in their throats. After looking around at the people around them, they felt much more calm. Fortunately, they were all villagers, and nothing would happen unless the news reached their ears.

Some people rushed out to try to stop the fight, while others ran out to find Uncle Lan and other elders who were in charge of the matter.

"Bah, bah, bah, you can't say that."

"Lan Xin, please help me, can you just say that casually?"

"Everyone, pay attention and forget about this immediately. If it gets out, the whole Lanjia Village will be in trouble."

"Yes, yes, Lan Xin was just joking..."

Lan Xinhuan glanced around, nodded, and sneered: "Yes, yes, I was joking."

"But I really want to ask, why are the male descendants of the Lan family allowed to enter, but the female cannot? A son-in-law who is not surnamed Lan is qualified to enter the ancestral hall, so why can't a woman with the same surname Lan enter?"

After hearing Lan Xin's words, the entire ancestral hall fell silent. Why couldn't women enter? This was the rule passed down by our ancestors. How could men and women be the same?

But can this be said?

Who dares to tell anyone?

Just now Lan Xin was talking about the Qing Dynasty left and right and the old times right. Now by saying this, doesn't it mean that you are agreeing with Lan Xin's words and must abide by the rules of the old times?

But now it is a new era, when men and women are equal and women can hold up half the sky, who dares to take this risk?

Even the Sixth Master, who had been so stern just now, became mute at this moment, gritting his teeth and staring at Lan Xin fiercely.

Uncle Lan, who was still being dragged along, ran hurriedly all the way, waving his hands and panting as he said, "You can go in, you can go in. Men and women can go in to this ancestral hall as well..."

After hearing this, Lan Xin finally smiled.

But the men in the ancestral hall had no smiles on their faces, and their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot. They wanted to refute, but they were concerned about their own safety and did not dare to refute easily. However, if they were asked to nod in agreement, they were unwilling to give up the preferential treatment they had received for so many years.

"Lan Dali!!"

Sixth Master glared at Uncle Lan, not caring that he was the village party secretary, and just cursed him by his full name. Anyway, he didn't have to worry about being caught by Lan Xin if he cursed Uncle Lan.

Who knew that Lan Xin glanced at him sideways and asked faintly, "Doesn't Sixth Master agree with what our village party secretary said?"

The village party secretary is not the village head. Apart from anything else, these cadres are the first to reject feudal ideas. Otherwise, their thinking is incorrect and the whole village will have to hold a meeting.

So after hearing Lan Xin's words, Sixth Master choked and couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and watch Lan Xin stride into the ancestral hall.

As she walked, she said to the others, "Brother Lei, you didn't even bring any wine. How can we let our ancestors eat without drinking? Why don't you ask your daughter to bring it to you..."

"Brother Cheng, didn't your eldest daughter get into high school this year? Shouldn't you tell the good news to our ancestors so they can celebrate together?"

"Uncle Daqing, didn't your son just get married? Why don't you come over and show your face to the ancestors?"

Lan Xin walked briskly, talking as she walked, without any reverence or respect for entering the ancestral hall. She was so casual, as if she was visiting a neighbor, instead of going through all kinds of trouble to get into this place.

The people Lan Xin mentioned earlier only had a few daughters in their families and no sons. They themselves felt that they could not hold their heads up in the village. Lan Xin really looked down on them. These girls were obviously so outstanding, but they were ignored and blamed for not being a boy just because they had less flesh.

Moreover, the foreign wives have already married into Lanjia Village and are included in the so-called family tree. They are clearly recognized and are part of the family, but they cannot even enter the gate of the ancestral hall. Isn’t this outrageous?

It would be meaningless for her to enter the ancestral hall alone. Only when everyone comes in together can there be real change.

The people named by Lan Xin looked at each other, feeling a little nervous, but also a little happy. Some people also wanted their daughters to come to the ancestral hall to worship, hoping that they would be as powerful as Lan Xin in the future and accomplish great things.

"What are you still standing there for? Let the kids come over to join in the fun and show it to our ancestors." Uncle Lan straightened his back and spoke, facing the complaining looks in the audience.

"Hey, good."

The others wanted to say something, but considering Lan Xin who was standing beside them, they just sighed and didn't dare to speak.

Who let Lan Xin grasp their lifeline? Not only did she control their family's business development, but she also put hats on them one by one. Who could bear this?

In the end, it can only turn into a sigh.

When the other women in the village, whether they were married women who had moved here or unmarried girls in the village, heard the news, their eyes lit up and were filled with disbelief.

"Can we enter this ancestral hall in the future?"

"Can I worship my ancestors like my brothers?"

"I, a newly married daughter-in-law from outside the family, can enter the ancestral hall? My mother-in-law has been married for more than 30 years and has never been able to enter?!"

With these doubts, the women in the village put down the New Year’s Eve dinner they were busy preparing and ran all the way to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall is a large blue brick and tile house that looks unremarkable. They are already very familiar with it. When it was still a warehouse and a house for storing sundries, they could enter and exit freely. But now that it has been cleaned and the offering table has been set up, they can no longer set foot in it.

Now, looking at this ancestral hall filled with the smoke of incense, the girls approached it in little by little with tension in their hearts, the drums in their hearts beating louder and louder.

The male elders who passed by saw them, frowned, and showed disgust in their eyes, as if they felt that they were desecrating this place by coming close, which made the girls even more uneasy, until a voice came from the house...

"What are you guys dawdling about? Come in quickly. Are you planning to have the New Year's Eve dinner at midnight?"

Lan Xin's voice came from the ancestral hall. The shrill female voice penetrated the layers of smoke, allowing them to see the scene inside clearly.

There didn't seem to be anything magical about it. It was still the original warehouse, just cleaned up and added an altar and a tablet. It was no different from an ordinary house, not a den of dragons or tigers, nor a magnificent building.

They walked in, just like they had walked into every house before, but for some reason their noses felt sore and their eyes became red.
