The surname of the short bachelor whose member was shot by Si Yi just now was Wang. People in the village called him Wang Solo.
Wang Solo was not the first unmarried old man in Luo Village. There were more old bachelors in the village than married men with children. Why? There was actually a reason behind it.
Luo Village had been an impoverished farming village since its existence. It was prone to drought and crops could barely grow, rainfall was not plentiful either as it was mostly dry across seasons.
There was a custom that the old ancestors of Luo Village passed down—they favored male over female. To most families in the village, giving birth to a boy or a girl was very different; having a son meant that he would take care of the parents when they were old while having a daughter was as good as none when she got married.
