C1044 I Was Kind Once

Rongge furrowed his long eyebrows, "Why are you saying all this?"

Qing Huan poured some water and looked at him with a teacup. "What should I say?"

Rongge could not beat around the bush. "Are you unhappy? You don't have to take her words to heart. I understand."

Qing Huan laughed lightly. "You don't understand anything. Can I ask you a question?"

Rongge asked, "What?"

"In your country, what do women usually do?"

One question stunned Rongge. He went to school late. After graduating from middle school, he directly joined the army and spent more than ten years in the army. He did not know how the women outside the army usually lived.

He could only figure out what he knew from some thin and vague words. "Women usually take care of their husbands and children, but they can also make an appointment with their good wives and young ladies for afternoon tea when they have free time."

Qing Huan asked again, "Then how are they doing?"

This was another question that Rongge did not know how to answer. He thought for a moment and honestly said, "I don't know. Maybe it's good."

"In your country, how many women can a man have?"

Rongge said, "In 1896, the country unified the family law in the Civil Code. In theory, there can only be one wife." Theoretically, that was the case, but mistresses could be found everywhere in the upper class. Because even though the law recognizes the status of women, many men still think that women should be vassals. However, the rest of the words were swallowed back into his stomach.

Rongge thought of the special nature of Qing Huan's identity. "What's wrong with you? Why did you think of asking this?"

Qing Huan smiled and didn't answer his question. Instead, she looked at him and sighed, "Really?"

One. It was good that a man could only have one woman.

Rongge did not know what to say. He just felt that Qing Huan's smile was not as good as what she had said. It was an expression and gaze that he could not understand. It was a longing look. There was yearning, as well as complicated regret and unwillingness.

After saying so much, Rongge was still confused. After thinking for a while, he said, "Did you adopt the child in the yard?"

"Adopt?" Qing Huan sneered. She lazily leaned forward and nodded. "What do I need so many children for? I gave them food, roof tiles, and adoption... They are all idiots who burn money."

"You are different from many people." Rongge said.

"It is different. I am more stupid than many people." Qing Huan continued.

"You're not stupid. You're very kind."

Qing Huan laughed out loud and even laughed out loud, "Kindness can't live in this place, especially women."

"I was once kind." Qing Huan pointed at the door, "It's her. When she was at the end of her rope, I was the one who gave her food and clothes. When we entered the building, I was the one who brought her up. But look... She cursed me to fall down earlier. My kindness has fed an ingrate, but the wolf is not content. That's why she wants to eat me instead."

Rongge hesitated, "She cannot represent everything. Those children will definitely thank you in the future."

Qing Huan was still smiling. "Really?"

Rongge nodded with certainty. "I believe it."

"What if not?"

"Impossible."

" If, I mean if. " Qing Huan looked at him, "If those thirteen children all grow up and not a single one of them remembers my kindness towards them, what should I do?"

Rongge pursed his lips, and his eyes became deep, "There will definitely be."
