Mama Wen averted her face uncomfortably. "My old man treats me well enough. There’s nothing wrong with relying on a man..."
Luo Xueyao spoke with earnest concern: "Papa Wen treats you well, and that is your good fortune. But not every woman in this world is so fortunate. Since we are intent on overthrowing the old dynasty, I have a bold idea—why shouldn't our new dynasty be built on equality between men and women, equality for all? Since our insurgent army's slogan is to break down class barriers, why shouldn't women hold the same social status as men? What a man can do, a woman can do just as well, if not better!"
Seeing that Mama Wen was still hesitant, Luo Xueyao did not press for an immediate conclusion. She pointed to two large crates outside the courtyard. "These contain finished medicines I obtained through secret channels. I don't understand pharmacology, so these things are wasted in my hands. I’d like to gift them to you today, Mama Wen, in the hope that they might bring relief to more people."
