But right now, the situation he sees in Qinghua City has clearly formed a pyramid shape.
Think about it, you can tell just from the situation in Evergreen Valley.
The slave status, lowly status, including the sacrificial status jokingly referred to by Su Jing and his four siblings, are the three layers of the population that occupy the largest proportion. Unable to acquire cultivation resources, they are forced to obey the system and comply with the exploitation and oppression from the four layers above them.
People cannot willingly accept oppression, just like those Hu brothers, aren't they trying to find ways to shed their lowly and slave status?
Of course, without strength, they can only find ways within the rules, stealing registration books, saving silver, running to Qinghua City to change their status when their master isn't paying attention, hoping to turn things around.
The Hu brothers are just a microcosm of these three types of people.
