One wife and one concubine (lead-in) The Marriage Law has been announced, and the monogamy system is so good that couples can live harmoniously and grow old together. It wasn't like this in the old society where polygamy was practiced. There was a landlord in our village who was over fifty years old and still married another wife - a concubine. The concubine was just over thirty, almost twenty years younger than the old man. She always felt that she and the old man were not a good match. So what did she do? She dressed the old man to look younger. In the evening, after the old man fell asleep, she would sit by him and pull out his white hair. Why? Because she thought: if the old man had fewer white hairs, he would look younger!
