Sweet Little Wife of the '60s.

Summary

The chapter explores the contrasting attitudes towards married women and unmarried girls in rural areas, highlighting a culture of tolerance for married women's indiscretions while emphasizing the importance of chastity for unmarried girls. Married women can joke and interact freely with men, and even husbands may overlook their wives' affairs, though this is not openly discussed. In contrast, unmarried girls face severe social repercussions if their chastity is compromised, with families often seeking revenge for any tarnished reputations. The narrative shifts to a conflict involving the Shen family and the Zhu family, where public opinion favors the Shen family, but no one is willing to openly support them. Hu Dama, a member of the Zhu family, makes disparaging remarks about Shen Jiao, leading to a heated exchange with Shen Jiaxing, who stands firm against her accusations. As tensions rise, Shen Jiaxing offers to cure Zhu Shi Tou's idiocy, a proposal met with skepticism but ultimately accepted by Captain Ma as a means to settle the dispute. The chapter concludes with Shen Jiaxing determined to confront Zhu Shi Tou directly.
