I turned the cold palace into a paradise

Chapter 64 Village Rules: Equality between Men and Women

That day, Yunyue gathered the cold palace sisters and the Lingyao sisters together and chatted for a long time.

On the second day, before the morning exercise, Yun Yue stood on the table and announced something. That was to establish the first academy in their village. The name of the academy was already decided.

It’s called “Nirvana Elementary School.”

Ouyang Shu and Xia Lan are the teachers of the school. All children under 12 years old in the village, regardless of gender, must go to school. Most importantly, it is free!

The calm crowd immediately became like a lake into which a stone had been thrown.

"Oh my god, did I hear you right?"

"Is a college going to open in the village?"

"Can my son read?"

"It's free! No money! Oh my God! How much will this cost Master Yue?"

"What? Women can also read. Did I hear that correctly? My daughter can also read?"

"Mr. Yue is truly a Bodhisattva!"

However, a dissenting voice was heard in the crowd: "Why are you letting a prostitute teach a child? Aren't you afraid that she might teach him bad things?"

Xia Lan bit her lips tightly, her rosy face turned pale, she knew that she was a prostitute...

Yun Yue's face darkened and she called out the man who had spoken.

Then he looked at the crowd and said, "I know you have a lot of opinions about them. You think they are unclean and dirty."

Wang Shouye felt that he was not wrong, and continued with his neck stiff, "That's right! They are all prostitutes! How dirty! There are many girls in the academy, won't they learn some bad things? How can they get married in the future!"

Lingyao and others standing aside lowered their heads as if they had lost their souls. They wanted to escape from here.

"You are clean?" Yun Yue shouted angrily. "The most unclean thing is your heart!! Is this their own choice? Is this what they want?"

"If you were in their situation, would you still be able to stand here?"

Xia Lan tugged at Yun Yue's sleeve, lowered her head and whispered something.

Yun Yue took a deep breath, turned around and asked Xia Lan softly: "Do you really want to talk? If you feel uncomfortable, don't say it."

"No, I want to tell you." Xia Lan said firmly. She didn't want to bear this kind of gaze anymore. She felt wronged and wanted to tell you everything. She was not wrong!

Xia Lan stood up and forced herself to look at everyone: "I was born in a scholarly family, and my father was a scholar. Due to the drought, many refugees came to my hometown. My father was killed to protect me and my mother, and my mother was also injured... In order to save my mother, I sold myself to a human trafficker to treat her illness."

Tears fell from her eyes, like a broken porcelain doll: "My mother was not cured... I was also sold to a brothel by the traffickers... Who knew that on the way to the brothel, I met you and was captured and brought to the village..."

Zhou Xier, who was standing next to him, also stepped forward and said, "There was a severe drought at home and we couldn't get enough food. In order to keep my brother alive, my parents sold me..."

“My family is a grain merchant. My parents were kind enough to give porridge to the refugees, but those people…” Lingyao also stood up.

"Me too……"

One after another, each woman stood up and revealed her scars, not to gain sympathy, but to tell everyone that none of this was their own choice.

"Did we want all this? Even being robbed and insulted, did we want this? Why don't you condemn those who did bad things?" They couldn't understand why the perpetrators were free and unfettered as if nothing had happened, while they had to bear everything...

Everyone was silent.

Yun Yue endured the bitterness in her eyes and continued, "Before coming to the village, they were all daughters of good families, and were other people's sisters. Part of their suffering came from this world, and part of it was caused by you. How is your words and eyes different from those who hurt them?"

"You don't condemn the people who made mistakes, but always hold on to the victims. If they were your daughters and sisters now, would you still do this?"

Many people lowered their heads.

Yun Yue said sternly, "I don't care what you think. Now that you are in my territory, you must act according to my rules! If you look down on women again in the future, you can leave the mountain by yourself. My village does not need people with such a heart! I will add another rule to the village rules: In Nirvana Village, men and women are equal. If you feel you can't accept it, you can leave the mountain now. My village does not need such people!"

Yun Yue looked at everyone coldly.

When everyone heard the seriousness of the matter, they immediately spoke:

"Master Yue, we won't..."

"Sorry……"

"Master Yue, we are following the rules, please don't chase us away!"

"..." Everyone was angry at Wang Shouye for being too talkative. It was a great favor that someone was willing to teach their children to read, and you were still picky about the teacher? They didn't care whether the teacher was a man or a woman, or whether she was a prostitute. If they missed this opportunity to learn to read for free, they would be too ashamed to face their ancestors when they died!

Yunyue also knew that deep-rooted thoughts could not be truly eliminated in a short period of time. So she had to take tough measures first and set it in the village rules. Even if you don't want to, you have to abide by it!

Wang Shouye, who was still stubborn at the beginning, now knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard: "Mr. Yue, I was wrong, please don't drive me down the mountain. Miss Xia Lan, I was mean, I was wrong..." If he went down the mountain, how could he support his family? Where could he find such a good place?

Wang Shouye's wife also knelt beside him and glared at the man fiercely, wishing she could beat him up! If she was driven off the mountain because of this, and her child had no chance to learn to read, she would definitely fight him to the death.

"Miss Xia Lan, I'm sorry, my boss is not very careful with his words. Can you forgive him? If you are angry, just beat him up! I can help you beat him up!" After saying that, she waved her hand and slapped her man in the face.

Why do I feel so good? Come again!

Xia Lan gently tugged at Yunyue's sleeve and gave her a look for help.

Yun Yue said, "Okay, don't fight me anymore. I'll give you one chance this time, but if it happens again, I won't let you off easily!"

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Yun Yue continued:

"There is one more thing. The children study for free in the village, so when they grow up they must stay in the village to work." Otherwise, if the people she had worked so hard to educate ran away, where would she go to cry?

Everyone was relieved when they heard this, and they were very happy. This solved the child's future work! Master Yue is such a good man, and following such a master is simply a blessing!

They all said that if the children dared to betray the village in the future, they would break their legs first!

Yunyue waved her hand and asked them to disperse.

Wang Shouye’s wife glared at the man and left without waiting for him.

The others around him advised earnestly: "Old Wang! Don't say that kind of thing again! It hurts people's hearts!"

Wang Shouye thought, don’t you guys talk about this all the time?

"Wang boy! If these kids lose their education because of this, don't blame me for fighting you to the death! Anyway, I'm old and have lived enough!" An old woman threatened fiercely.

"No, never again."

Wang Shouye smiled bitterly. How dare he! Even Master Yue didn't need to deal with it. He would be torn apart by them.

He rubbed his sore cheek, hurriedly ran out of the crowd, and silently went after his wife.
