Chapter 1618: Do You Know the Origin of the Qu Family Ancestral Teachings?

The women all looked at the Old Madam, and for a moment, no one answered.

The Old Madam looked at Mengyu, calling her by name: "Eldest Lady of the Nan family, Nan Mengyu, now tell me, am I wrong? Where am I wrong? If you married into such a Qu Family, what would you do?"

The named Mengyu let out a long sigh.

Indeed, the Qu Family’s ancestral teachings that do not consider women as human should have been changed a long time ago.

She looked at the Old Madam and sighed inwardly: Don’t be fooled by this Old Madam being a strong woman, she’s actually a pitiful woman too!

"Old Madam, your premise doesn’t exist because I will not marry into the Qu Family. But even if I did marry into the Qu Family, I am not you. I wouldn’t use my stepdaughter’s dividends to run a business. The moment I knew the Qu Family’s ancestral teachings, I would break out of that cage and be myself.

Even if I didn’t plan to escape that cage, I would carve out a niche for myself through my own efforts, rather than hiding at home and using my stepdaughter’s dividends to get things done.

If you have the skills, you should be able to build something from scratch and advance step by step. I believe, given the Qu Family men’s contempt for women, as long as you don’t touch the Qu Family’s property, there should be enough time to build your own career."

Mengyu sighed again, speaking slowly, "But you are not me, because for someone like me, making money is as easy as bending down to pick up a button. But in any case, you are a man among women, a woman among men. In some respects, you aren’t wrong; the wrong is the Qu Family’s ancestral teachings.

Great people tell us we should employ talents without regard to formalities, but the Qu Family’s ancestral teachings shut out all female talent based on gender. So you hate, you resent, and that I understand.

You are talented but underappreciated, not seen as a person by the Qu Family, so you use improper means to express yourself and to prove that you are more outstanding than the men of the Qu Family. These, I understand.

But—

Mengyu glanced at everyone, "But what have you done to change the Qu Family’s ancestral teachings?"

The Old Madam suddenly looked up, her gloomy eyes fixed intently on Mengyu: "I started a company to prove my abilities, to change the Qu Family men’s perspective: women are not just uteruses; women can also create wealth!"

Mengyu shook her head, pointing to the men of the Qu Family: "Ask them, because you started a Jinhui Group that surpassed the Ou Group, do they think these ancestral teachings should be changed?"

The Old Madam looked at the men of the Qu Family, and indeed, she saw in their faces, their eyes, not a trace of the thought that the ancestral teachings should be changed. On the contrary, they were more relieved for having such teachings.

Relieved? They were actually relieved? The Old Madam couldn’t understand.

"Do you know the origin of the Qu Family’s ancestral teachings?" Mengyu asked again.

The Old Madam shook her head. She didn’t know; she only knew that the Qu Family’s ancestral teachings were unfeeling, even inhumane. They separated mother and child, severed human relationships.

Mengyu said, "Although I am also unaware of the origin of the Qu Family’s ancestral teachings, I guess the ancestor who established such teachings must have married a very strong woman. Her abilities overshadowed those of the Qu Family men."

She looked down on the Qu Family men. She may have even done things that hurt the men of the Qu Family, leaving them heartbroken and hopeless, so they left behind such unfeeling ancestral teachings and established such inhumane clan rules."
