The Duma Farce

Wang Ye said helplessly, "You heard everything just now, didn't you? I'd been opposing it all along."

"No. If you truly didn't approve, you wouldn't have let him keep that proposal. You could have rejected it outright. Since you allowed him to submit it to the Duma, that means you supported him deep down." Rosiana spoke irritably.

"What I let him keep was the proposal on how to solve the population problem, not some polygamy proposal. You need to understand the difference between the two." Wang Ye did not know whether to laugh or cry.

When it came to the population problem, any effort made to address it was worthwhile and necessary.

Naturally, Wang Ye would not reject Fikrov's proposal. As for what means and methods should be used to solve it, that required everyone to pool their wisdom.

As long as the methods were not too outrageous, they could be tried.

It was not that Rosiana failed to understand this. Her attention had simply been drawn to that bizarre "polygamy" idea, so she kept dwelling on it.

Instead, she had overlooked the more crucial issue.

Now, after hearing Wang Ye say this, she was still not satisfied. She said resentfully, "What good idea could that Fikrov possibly have? With that brain of his, the real purpose behind this proposal probably isn't to solve the population crisis at all. He probably just wants to legalize polygamy."

Wang Ye was not entirely sure about that either.

After all, Fikrov had indeed proposed only that one solution just now. Wang Ye had been the one to help him add several other methods afterward.

Perhaps, just as Rosiana guessed, Fikrov's intentions were not so "pure"...

Using the population problem as a pretext to achieve his own "unspeakable" goal...

But it did not matter.
