"Go, bring Yaya back to me,"

"Who dares? That's the stall we managed to get with great difficulty." The woman's sharp voice sounded.

"I really don't understand. Princess Kang Le can be the head of a family and become a general and a prime minister. Why can't we do business and make money?"

"Hmph! I don't care about Princess Kangle. I just know that the women in our family are supposed to stay in the backyard. They can't go out of the house and do business. Our family can't afford to lose this person."

"What if I insist on going out?"

"When the world was at peace, and perhaps still able to find some peace, my uncle and aunt taught us chastity and obedience, saying, 'Do not speak out of turn,' and 'Men and women should not touch each other.' Okay! I'll do as you say."

But now there are no men in our family who work outside. It’s hard to even afford food, and yet my uncle still wants to impose his ancestral teachings on us. Isn’t that ridiculous? I’m leaving today. Get out of the way.”

"Stop her. She insists on going out, right? Then I'll have to break her legs. I don't mind raising another cripple."

After hearing this, Song Jinxiu understood the general idea and signaled Su Chuan to break the door open.

Su Chuan had a blank expression on his face. He lifted his foot and pushed hard, and the door opened.

"Who is it?" the person inside exclaimed.

In the courtyard, in front of the main door sat an old man, about fifty years old.

Song Jinxiu looked at the young woman whose arms were being pulled by two old women, and then looked at the old man who had just shouted that he would break her legs.

He couldn't help but sneer, "What a big deal! You're so confident in using domestic violence! Do you want me to break your legs too?"

The old woman was rolling up her sleeves. She pointed at Song Jinxiu and asked angrily, "Who are you? What's the crime for trespassing into a private house?"

Yingchun's face darkened. "How dare you! You don't even kneel down to pay your respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"Princess? Could it be Princess Kang Le?"

Everyone's expressions suddenly froze, and they all knelt in greeting. The young woman knelt, and the two maids holding her also knelt quickly. Even the old man stood up and took two steps, kneeling in front of the crowd.

"See Princess."

Su Chuan took two quick steps and picked up the chair at the door with one hand.

This is a solid willow chair. Even an adult man needs both hands to move it. How can a little girl like a princess be so strong?

And from the princess' tone, was she speaking up for her niece's wife? The old man couldn't help but lower his head even more.

Song Jinxiu sat down leisurely, acting like a princess.

"Be flat."

Seeing that everyone had stood up, she looked at the old man coldly and asked:

"She earns her money with her own hands, she doesn't steal or rob, she does it honestly. Why did you break her legs?"

The old man bowed and said, "Princess, you may not know that our Zhou family is a family of chastity arches. We have two chastity arches in our family. The women in our family must follow the ancestral teachings and must not show their faces in public and engage in lowly activities."

"Oh? Chastity arch?" Song Jinxiu raised her eyebrows.

The old man straightened his back. "Yes. Two more. One is my great-grandmother, funded by donations from the villagers, and the other is my biological mother, who became a widow at the age of eighteen and was personally approved by the government."

Song Jinxiu looked at him, "Are you proud?"

The old man straightened himself up, feeling proud.

Song Jinxiu was speechless.

She looked at the old man and sighed, "Your mother became a widow at the age of eighteen. Can't you see how hard it is for a widow to endure her life?

What are you proud of? Do you think you are a filial son?

Watching the old man's face turn pale and blue, Song Jinxiu continued, "What do you mean by not showing your face in public and doing menial jobs? What are menial jobs? Scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans, there were four classes of people in ancient times. How can they be menial? I think it's something to be proud of to support yourself with your own hands.

And you, who treat your dross ancestral teachings as the golden rule, are complacent with the cold archway, shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"

The old man choked, his beard puffing with anger. He mustered up the courage to speak: "Starving to death is a small matter, but losing one's chastity is a great matter. This is our family motto since ancient times. We are also dealing with family matters today. Although the princess is of noble status, she has come uninvited. Please do not interfere in our family affairs."

"Your family affairs? No, not now."

Song Jinxiu was too lazy to talk to a feudal and hypocritical old man. She looked at the young woman and asked, "What's your name? Have you ever been to school?"

"My servant Hu Rui. I'm educated."

Song Jinxiu nodded. This woman spoke very well and it was obvious that she was literate.

"Okay, Hu Rui, this princess wants to establish the Cangwu Women's Federation. Are you willing to join?"

To improve the status of women, it depends on women themselves. Just now, she suddenly thought of the Women's Federation in her previous life.

The establishment of the Women's Federation can guide them to emancipate their minds. Only when their minds are emancipated can they know how to defend women's rights and promote gender equality.

Women uniting together is a force that cannot be ignored. Only in this way can the status of women be improved more quickly.

The reason why she valued Hu Rui was that she was impressed by the strong side of this woman.

The young woman's eyes lit up and she said loudly, "This servant is willing to follow the princess."

Although she didn't know what the Women's Federation was, Princess Kangle was her idol. As long as she could follow her, she could break free from the constraints of this family, so she was willing to do anything.

"Okay, make some arrangements at home and report to the Princess's residence tomorrow."

Before leaving, she warned the old man, "Hu Rui is a lady-in-waiting in my princess's mansion. You must not embarrass her again."

Female officer?

The old man widened his eyes. How did she become a female official?

He also wanted to have another chaste and heroic woman in his family in exchange for a third chastity arch!

Song Jinxiu: Dream on. As long as I am here, the chastity arch will become history.

Song Jinxiu turned around, and a young girl's weak voice came: "Your Highness, I, I also want to be a female official. No, I don't need to be an official, I just want to follow Your Highness."

Song Jinxiu turned her head and looked at the little girl who was hiding behind Hu Rui, leaning forward, nodding and bowing, looking at her eagerly.

This was the little girl who interpreted what it meant for a woman to be immoderate. She couldn't help but smile and nodded, saying, "Tomorrow, you can come with your sister-in-law."

"Yes." The little girl smiled brightly, reminding Song Jinxiu of Jinfang's appearance when she first traveled through time.

Thinking of Song Jinfang, Song Jinxiu couldn't help laughing. She used to be so cautious and trying to please others everywhere. She was cute and pitiful, which made people feel distressed.

Looking at her now, she is decisive and efficient in her actions. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a little hot pepper.

I won’t raise this little girl into a strong woman, will I?

After leaving Hu Rui's house, Song Jinxiu went straight to the amusement park.

She originally came here to relax, but now she went straight to her sister's office.

The two sisters are both busy, so they rarely get together. Today is a good day and I want to see what she is doing.

Needless to say, the two sisters chatted about everything under the sun, but it was said that rumors about Song Jinxiu had been spreading again in the capital these past two days.

The father and daughter who stopped the carriage to cry out for justice were from Xiaojia Village in Wei County. There was an accident when their village was using a double-share plow, and someone died.
