At that time, favoritism towards boys was a common phenomenon. It was also mostly the boys who were educated. Many people felt that girls were innately inferior to boys.

They could not achieve anything. They could only remain at home, do the housework and raise the children.

Li Qinglang laughed. “That was in the past. Things are different now.

“In the past! We mainly depended on agriculture to survive. That was manual labor. Girls naturally cannot compare to boys in terms of physical strength. But things are different now. As long as you can hold a job, you can earn money. Money can buy you everything you need in life.

“As long as you have money, you can buy food, a house, clothes, and everything that you need. Most jobs nowadays require mental work. As long as you are intelligent, you can earn money. The status of girls will rise in the future.”

Han Jing could not help but smile. She seldom heard anyone say that girls would be useful in the future. As a girl born in a village, her education had brought her an immense amount of stress.

Now that Li Qinglang said that, for some reason, she felt much more relaxed and confident about her future.

They drove to the Gu house. It was Sunday, but Gu Jinye was so busy he still was not home. Li Qingdan was not there either.

The children of the family were at home. Mo Yang had also brought Chu Yue and Chu Zheng.

Li Qinglang parked his car in the yard. The children were standing on the second-floor balcony, staring at them.

“Wow! Is that our future aunt? She’s very pretty!”

“I heard that she’s a student at Beijing University! She’s very outstanding!”

“She’s Fourth Cousin-in-law’s classmate. She’s a law student.”

The last sentence was spoken by Mo Yang.

Gu Zihan hurriedly said, “Go, go, go. Let’s go down and take a look and see how we can stimulate that young master from the Han family.”

They clattered down the stairs. When they came out to greet them, they saw Li Qinglang and greeted him in unison as “Uncle”.

Mo Yang was in the same generation as these children, so he simply addressed Li Qinglang as ‘Uncle’, just like Gu Ziang and the other children.

There were so many children in the family. Almost all of them addressed him like that.

He looked at Han Jing and smilingly addressed her as “Aunt”.

Han Jing was amazed to see so many good-looking children. This was her first time seeing so many good-looking children!

Li Qinglang smiled and introduced them to her. “This is Gu Ziang. He’s the eldest brother. These two are twins. The older brother is called Gu Zihan, the younger sister is Gu Ziqi. And this, this is Mo Yang. I’ve mentioned him to you.

“These two are twins too. They are Mo Yang’s friends. The elder brother is Chu Zheng, and the younger sister is Chu Yue.”

Han Jing smiled and greeted them. She handed over the fruits and snacks she bought.

She wanted to buy gifts, but Li Qinglang refused to allow her to buy anything.

The children did not lack anything materially. As for Han Jing, her little money was what she had left after scrimping and saving her salary from her part-time job. He did not want her to go into the expense.

But Han Jing was too embarrassed to come empty-handed, so in the end, she brought some fruits and snacks.

Gu Ziang was the eldest brother, so he received her gifts and thanked her with a smile. “Thank you, Aunt!”

Li Qinglang dragged Han Chuanzong over. “Here, let me introduce you. This is Han Chuanzong, Aunt’s younger brother.”

The children exchanged glances and beamed. Then they chorused, “Uncle, how do you do!”

Li Qinglang: “…”

Han Jing: “…”

Han Chuanzong: “…”

Gu Ziang laughed when he saw their bewildered looks. “Why? Is anything wrong? Uncle! Isn’t Aunt your classmate? She’s your peer! This is Aunt’s younger brother, of course we should address him as ‘Uncle’!”

Li Qinglang: “…”

What he said was true!
