Chapter 704 A chance for fair competition!

Xiao Zhenzhen picked up her chopsticks again. "Mother, you don't know, but what hurts me most about these people is that, as women, why do they support men's interests so much?"

Su Yun looked downstairs, and saw few women among the hurried people. "People raise pigs in pens to eat pork, but pigs have never thought of climbing over the pigsty..."

Xiao Zhenzhen opened her mouth, and took it for granted that what her mother wanted to say was that pigs were greedy for the food and drink provided by their owners, and the shelter from wind and rain.

Su Yun continued, "Women obey their fathers at home and their husbands after marriage. They are dependent on men all their lives. This is not much different from the pigs in the pigsty. The biggest difference is that pigs were originally omnivorous and ferocious animals. They became docile because of long-term discipline. Their fangs have receded and they have become less aggressive..."

"Discipline—"

Su Yun looked at Zhen'er and said, "Women are also the product of thousands of years of patriarchal discipline. If they have a desire for fairness, they will be regarded as different and used as negative examples to warn the world.

In such an environment, men can go to school, enter the government, and go into business. They can work in all walks of life and every profession can produce top talents.

The only value of women is their labor in the inner house and their value in bearing children. Over time, men pursue power and gain and practice polygamy, while women stay in the inner house and become jealous, fighting for favor.

Xiao Zhenzhen bit her lip and glanced at her father. Fortunately, her father did not take another concubine.

Xiao Lusheng handed Su Yun a glass of water. Su Yun took a sip and continued, "You just asked why we were so harsh on Tao Wenjun and the empress. They are both women, but why do they support the interests of men? Maybe you should think it through now?"

Xiao Zhenzhen frowned, "The kid seems to know something. They still think that they can only be protected and live a good life by pleasing men."

Su Yun nodded slightly.

Xiao Zhenzhen still refused to accept it, "But they are also women. Even if they want to respect men, how can they crush the umbrella of an excellent woman like Tao Wenjun? How can they deny a legitimate successor like Sister!"

Su Yun still said: "Because according to the rules, you should obey your father at home, obey your husband after marriage, and obey your son after your husband's death. This has been the rule since the moment they were born. Anyone is more important than themselves."

“Before she got married, she hated her sister-in-law and brother’s wife at home.

After getting married, she hated her aunt and mother-in-law, and even tried her best to help her parents' family.

However, when she becomes a mother-in-law, she dislikes the new bride, teaches her son, or personally prevents the new bride from supporting her family...

Every woman will completely turn into a man after giving birth to a son, and will put her son’s interests first in everything because they have become a community of interests.

In this cycle, from high-ranking officials to common people, every woman lives by relying on men. "

Su Yun took a deep breath, watched Xiao Lusheng refill her tea, smiled slightly, and continued, "Men only care about fighting for power and gaining the right to speak, but women only think about being jealous in the backyard. How can they have the slightest say? How can they expect other women to live as comfortably and happily as men?"

"Mother..." Xiao Zhenzhen put down her bowl and chopsticks, walked to Su Yun and hugged her, "Mother."

She had just called out for her mother in a moment of desperation. Fortunately, everyone in the restaurant was busy with their own things and no one noticed them.

Su Yun stroked the top of Xiao Zhenzhen's head, "Initially, when I gave birth to your brother Chen and sister, I only wanted your brother Chen to come back and inherit the throne, and I hoped that he would become the crown prince.

Later, I thought that your brother Chen followed Master Changkong. If he was unwilling to come back to inherit the throne of the Crown Prince, should I give birth to another prince for your father?"

"Mother..." Xiao Zhenzhen felt a little sad, so she was born later, right?

Su Yun caressed her. In her heart, no matter Chen'er, Yao'er or Zhen'er, they were all her treasures. But at that time, she still subconsciously felt that the position of crown prince should be that of a prince, not a princess.

"The slave mentality has taken root in the hearts of women. It will take several generations to get rid of it. Don't blame them..."

Su Yun looked at Xiao Lusheng with eyes full of love, "It's still your father. In his heart, your brother, sister and you are all the same.

He had set his sights on your elder sister a long time ago. He trained your elder sister in the same way as the crown prince. It was only after I knew all this that I no longer had that obsession. "

Xiao Zhenzhen frowned. Happiness seemed to be the most important thing to her since she was young, and she did not have as heavy schoolwork as her elder sister.

Xiao Lusheng smiled, raised his hand and touched Xiao Zhenzhen's head, his eyes full of doting.

Su Yun smiled, "Because your elder sister is very outstanding, and you are always naughty, and your elder sister is in the front to support you, so you are spared from the harsh punishment of your father."

"Father." There were stars in her eyes and she was moved. Looking at her father and mother, she felt that she was the happiest child in the world.

Being able to accompany her father and mother on long journeys, she is the child who is best taken care of by them among her brothers and sisters.

"I'm not as generous as your mother said. After your brother Chen returned to the capital, I promised to give him three years to learn government affairs, and then compete with your sister. Whoever is most suitable to be the crown prince will be the next emperor."

Xiao Zhenzhen was puzzled and asked, "So father hopes that brother Chen will win?"

Do you still hope that men will inherit the family business?

Xiao Lusheng laughed, "No, I never thought about who would win. I just wanted to know who is the most suitable successor."

After a pause, Xiao Lu sighed softly, "I just feel that I owe Chen'er a lot, so give him a fair chance to compete!"

"Father hopes that my brother will feel that you are being fair to him, my sister and me."

Xiao Lusheng nodded, "Yes."

If Zhen'er wasn't really not good at studying, he would have been just as strict with her and given her a chance to compete.

Su Yun also said: "I just hope Chen'er can make a new choice, whether to attain enlightenment or live a life like ours."

She looked at Xiao Lusheng and said, "It is a very happy thing to be with you for a lifetime. I hope my children can also find good partners and be happy."

Xiao Lusheng held her hand and said with a smile: "I think so too."

Xiao Zhenzhen thought a lot as she watched her father and mother having such a heartfelt conversation.

The Emperor and the Empress, all they wanted was to give them and their siblings fairness and they hoped that they could be happy.

How wonderful it would be if all parents in the world treated their sons and daughters equally like fathers and mothers!

If my sister succeeds, maybe it won't be a luxury. By then, the daughters who are raised with the expectation and love of their parents may not be so servile...

Su Yun watched her daughter thinking, but did not bother her until Xiao Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Don't blame them."
