Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

"Ergouzi, are there any hotels around here? Um... places to stay."

Although Li Lin didn't understand what a hotel was, she knew where to stay.

Li Lin sighed inwardly, realizing that Sister Mo'er really didn't remember anything, not even the inn.

Li Lin brought Li Mo'er to the Yunlai Inn. As soon as Li Mo'er entered, she took out the copper coins she had and slammed them on the table in a grand manner.

"Boss, I need a room!"

The shopkeeper glanced disdainfully at the copper coins on the table. "Thirty coins a night for the woodshed, fifteen coins a night for the stables."

Li Mo'er was stunned. What kind of shady shop is this? It's so expensive!

Li Mo'er immediately pulled the coins off the table, then sheepishly dragged Li Lin out, saying, "Why didn't you take me to find a cheaper place?"

She wanted to stay a few more days and lie down before going back.

"Sister Mo'er, this is already the cheapest one."

In this area, Yunlai Inn is the cheapest option.

This is cheap? She only had a few copper coins on her, and she thought they were very valuable.

Li Mo'er had no concept of money here, so she could only make an estimate indirectly.

"Um, how much is a meat bun?"

"One coin."

Li Lin was somewhat alarmed when he saw that Li Mo'er couldn't even remember how much the meat buns cost.

Li Mo'er weighed the copper coin in her hand. It seemed that one coin was roughly equivalent to one dollar. No wonder the shopkeeper looked down on her.

Whose hotel costs twenty or thirty yuan a night?

"Sister Mo'er, Sister Mo'er, you don't remember anything, do you?"

"Waaaaah, Sister Mo'er, I..."

When Li Mo'er heard Li Lin's dry howling, she realized that she could perhaps pretend to have amnesia; she had been so focused on getting back that she had forgotten.

"Er Gouzi, stop howling. Tell me about it, and maybe I'll remember."

Li Mo'er pulled Li Lin to a corner. She looked at the people on the street, all of whom were wearing linen clothes.

Occasionally, a few people would appear dressed in gorgeous, brightly colored clothes, though she couldn't tell if they were silk or something else.

"Sister Mo'er, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you." Li Lin squatted down in the corner with Li Mo'er.

What dynasty are we in now?

Li Lin remembered that in the time-travel novels she used to read, the protagonists always asked the same question.

Although novels can be quite harmful, maybe they're useful? After all, she's never time-traveled before and has no experience with it.

If she happens to encounter a dynasty she knows, she might be able to make a fortune through fortune telling.

Although she's not good at history, she's watched quite a few time-travel dramas like Ruoxi and Qingchuan.

"Hey hey hey..."

Li Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking that she would soon be rich.

"Sister Mo'er, Sister Mo'er, can you hear me?"

Li Lin had been talking for so long when he noticed that Li Mo'er suddenly burst out laughing.

"Huh? Oh. Could you say that again?"

Li Mo'er said embarrassedly that she had just been lost in thought, preoccupied with her get-rich-quick dreams.

“We are the Taiping Heavenly Dynasty, and the current Empress is…” Li Lin looked around and whispered in Li Mo’er’s ear, after all, it would be disrespectful to mention the Empress’s name directly.

Before Li Lin could reveal who it was, Li Mo'er stopped him. She didn't want to know who the emperor was, and she couldn't control his meals.

Moreover, she had never heard of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Li Mo'er silently rolled her eyes. What terrible luck she had.

Also, why isn't it called the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? That other one, what was it called, if it knew there was such a dynasty, it would definitely crawl out of the ground.

Wait, it seems she overlooked some important information, the Empress?

Although she wasn't good at history, she remembered that there was only one female emperor in history, Wu Zetian. She didn't remember which dynasty it was from, but it certainly wasn't the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Li Mo'er carefully observed the vendors on the street; they all seemed to be women, whereas she had assumed they were all men.

Because they were all burly and strong, she subconsciously assumed they were men and didn't look closely.

From Li Lin, Li Mo'er learned that this was a matriarchal world where women were generally strong and men were relatively thin. Moreover, women were the ones who did business. Unmarried men from wealthy families usually wore veils when they went out, while married men who did not wear veils had to follow behind their wives when they went out.

Li Mo'er's eyelids kept twitching; she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that she had transmigrated to this matriarchal society.

The good thing is that she doesn't have to do needlework at home like women used to, since she's really not good at those kinds of needlework; all she can do is mend socks.

The bad thing is that she might not live long and would starve to death, since she doesn't know how to do anything.

Soon, Li Mo'er saw a man with a large belly following a particularly robust woman, with several bodyguards behind them.

Li Mo'er pointed at the man and asked Li Lin, "Er Gouzi, look at that fat man, yet someone still wants him."

Li Lin had just told her that in this world, men need to be slender and handsome to get married easily, but this man was handsome, though not slender at all.

Li Lin quickly pressed Li Mo'er's hand down. Staring at someone else's husband in the street was already impolite, and Mo'er even dared to point at him with her finger.

Li Lin glanced at Li Mo'er, who was indeed very curious, and said helplessly, "She's pregnant."

Although Li Mo'er lowered her hand, her eyes remained fixed on the man.

She's pregnant? It's a wonderful thing for a man to give birth.

When will we be able to let men give birth in our area? That way, they can experience the pain of childbirth too.

The man whispered something in his wife's ear, and then the group of people walked towards them menacingly.

Li Lin tried to pull Li Mo'er away, but it was too late. Li Mo'er looked at the shadow falling over her head, feeling extremely oppressive.

"Was it you who kept staring at my husband just now?"

Her voice was much rougher than Li Lin's, and Li Mo'er felt the ground beneath her feet tremble; in fact, her legs were shaking with fear.

Li Mo'er had always lived in a peaceful era and had never experienced war, let alone robbery or bullying. So when she encountered this situation, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

The wife waved to the bodyguards behind her, who then began to rub their hands together, ready to make their move.

Li Mo'er held her breath, not daring to move, and froze in place.

Fortunately, Li Lin reacted quickly, "Sir, I'm sorry, my sister here is blind. She was just asking me which way to go."

Upon hearing Li Lin's words, Li Mo'er also started acting, stretching out both hands and groping forward, "Er Gouzi, what's wrong? Is someone coming?"

The wife stared at Li Mo'er fiercely for a while, as if she would make her die a horrible death the moment she discovered that Li Mo'er was faking it.

Li Mo'er was already drenched in sweat under the oppressive presence of this plump woman.

Li Lin didn't dare to say a word. Li Mo'er gritted her teeth. If this woman didn't leave soon, she would be exposed.

So, she tried her best to control her trembling hands and looked around, "Er Gouzi? Er Gouzi? Are you still here?"

Only then did the woman fully believe that Li Mo'er was blind. She snorted and left.

Seeing the group of people walk away, Li Mo'er felt completely limp. The woman didn't look that fat from a distance, but up close she must have weighed almost 300 pounds.

Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing Li Mo'er sitting on the ground, he patted his chest and said, "Sister Mo'er, wasn't I incredibly clever?"

Li Mo'er nodded with lingering fear. Luckily, she had pretended to be blind, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to withstand that woman's punch.

Seeing that Li Mo'er was in a better mood, Li Lin helped her up and said, "Sister Mo'er, let's go home."

Li Mo'er didn't really want to, but now it seemed she had no choice but to go home with Li Lin.

After all, if there really was a system, it should have shown up in the situation just now, no matter how unreliable it was.

"Er Gouzi, is there anyone else in our family besides the two of us?"

Li Mo always thought that Li Lin was her younger sister; otherwise, why would they share the same surname, Li, and why would Li Lin treat her so well?
