Beauty is a Crime, I Will Be Punished…
Sister Hong stood beside Bai Tian Tian like a servant and said, “This is Miss Bai, the Holy Maiden of Zhou Village. She will be giving a lecture today.”
Bai Tian Tian glanced around the room, and when she saw Bai Qing Qing, her eyes instantly lit up with excitement.
Bai Qing Qing wasn’t dead, which meant the captain was alright too; he had come to rescue her.
Seeing Bai Tian Tian’s inexplicable excitement, Sister Hong secretly pinched her on the back and said with a forced smile, “Holy Maiden, begin.”
Bai Qing Qing waited boredly, watching Bai Tian Tian with interest, wanting to hear the so-called lecture.
Since arriving in Zhou Village, Bai Tian Tian had been isolated by the villagers and Shen Mingxuan and his group, living under constant surveillance. Only today was she finally given the opportunity to give a lecture; if she didn’t do well, she would be locked up again.
“Hello everyone, I’m Bai Tian Tian. Today’s lesson is: Women’s Virtue.”
Bai Qing Qing was speechless upon hearing the words “women’s virtue.”
No wonder she was given a lecture by the older woman that day, even though she was only wearing the most ordinary tracksuit. If she had dared to talk back, she probably would have been taught a lesson.
So this is the custom and culture of Zhou Village?
Bai Tian Tian was probably forced into it, and she preached loudly: Men are heaven, women are earth.
Women should never have the idea of surpassing men. No woman can be a strong woman, and throughout history, no strong woman has had a good ending.
Bai Qing Qing raised an eyebrow. The women in the village had probably all been brainwashed like this, so they obeyed the men without question.
The women in the room, except for her, listened intently, some even shouting along.
If your husband hits you, you can’t fight back. You should reflect on whether you did something wrong. Wanting to change men is an even greater sin, a sin that will send you to hell. If women don’t learn traditional virtues, their ancestors will punish them, causing incurable diseases.
Being beautiful is a sin, but spending time and effort dressing up is even more sinful. Women should dress simply to please men; no matter how their husbands treat them, it’s all for their own good.
A woman’s value lies in marriage, so she must not have contact with other men before marriage, or her hands and feet will rot.
When meeting elders, one must bow and be respectful; when elders lecture you, you must kneel and listen; do whatever your parents ask. Disrespecting your parents will also lead to terminal illness and death.
Bai Qing Qing felt physically uncomfortable listening to this. Although Bai Tian Tian was just a tool, perhaps because she possessed a saintly aura, the women in the room seemed to have lost their minds, crying and confessing their faults.
They wanted to kneel before their husbands and apologize, willing to give them everything they needed.
Bai Qing Qing’s eyes flickered slightly. She abruptly stood up, climbed onto the table, and shouted, “Holy Maiden! You’re absolutely right!”
The emotionally charged women in the room were startled, and all looked at her. Bai Tian Tian’s pupils dilated in surprise, thinking Bai Qing Qing had also been misled, and she showed a worried expression.
Bai Qing Qing jumped down from the table, quickly ran to Bai Tian Tian, grasped her hand, and sincerely said, “Holy Maiden, after hearing your words, I suddenly understand.”
Standing not far away, Sister Hong’s expression changed slightly, secretly trying to discern whether Bai Qing Qing was acting or had truly been brainwashed and persuaded.
“Sister Hong,” she said, looking at the old woman beside her, “I want to get married.”
Sister Hong: “?”
Bai Qing Qing excitedly said, “I want to find someone to marry right now, to be his slave, to have him beat and scold me, even if he beats me to death, that would be my blessing.”
Bai Tian Tian turned pale with fright and couldn’t help but say, “Qing Qing…”
“None of you stop me!” Bai Qing Qing looked like she was sacrificing herself for female virtue, but pain showed in her eyes. “I know that being beautiful is a sin, and I won’t be at peace if I’m not punished.”
“???” Something doesn’t sound right.
Bai Qing Qing grabbed Sister Hong and shook her violently, shouting, “Sister Hong, quickly choose a man for me! I want to get married right now, so he can punish me!”
The woman in the room, upon seeing her frenzied appearance, was jolted awake, not understanding why she had suddenly become so agitated.
Sister Hong, her thoughts in turmoil, tried to stop her, saying, “Wait…”
“No!” Bai Qing Qing raised her voice, her expression agitated. “I can’t wait a moment longer!”
She looked at the frightened women, her voice hoarse, “Don’t you want your men to beat you to death?!”
The women took a few steps back in terror. No normal person would want to be beaten to death; she must be insane.
“Enough!” Sister Hong shouted, her face darkening as she stared at Bai Qing Qing. “You’re deliberately causing trouble!”
Bai Qing Qing looked wronged, her eyes filled with tears. “Sister Hong, how can you say that to me? Didn’t you all say that women should submit to men, that they can only achieve success by being beaten and scolded by them?”
“I want to find a man to beat and scold me, am I wrong? Tell me, where did I go wrong!” She looked at everyone.
Sister Hong was speechless. What she had intended to promote was the virtue of women submitting to their husbands, even if they were beaten and scolded, but Bai Qing Qing’s distorted and nonsensical pronouncements made it sound completely different. “Come with me!” she angrily grabbed Bai Qing Qing.
Bai Tian Tian quickly grabbed Sister Hong’s hand, saying, “Sister Hong, please let her go.”
Sister Hong looked at Bai Tian Tian menacingly and said, “Holy Maiden, your task isn’t finished yet. Aren’t you going to continue the lesson?”
Bai Tian Tian bit her lip and let go.
Sister Hong pulled Bai Qing Qing out of the room, angrily walking in one direction. On the way, she asked gleefully, “Sister Hong, are you taking me to choose a husband?”
Sister Hong was furious and coldly replied, “No.”
“Sister Hong, then where are you taking me?” Bai Qing Qing looked around, trying to remember the way as she walked.
Sister Hong dragged her to an old house, shoved her into a dark room, and snapped, “You’d better stay here and reflect on your actions. You’ll be released when you realize your mistake.”
“Sister Hong,” Bai Qing Qing struggled against the door, unwilling to be locked up, “What did I say wrong? Didn’t you say that marriage should be based on men?”
“I’ll lock you up for one night, and I’ll release you tomorrow.” Sister Hong shoved her in with brute force, her eyes flashing coldly, and scolded, “If you cause trouble again, you’ll be sorry!”
Bai Qing Qing was locked in the dimly lit room, hearing rustling sounds.
