Chapter 156: The Latest Policies of the Imperial Court and the Government
Zhou Cuihua nodded, "Yes, there is such a saying, when we look for a daughter-in-law, we are also looking for a high one." ”
Grandma Li smiled, "Your second brother and sister-in-law and Gorou are often ridiculed because of their short stature, and they definitely want to marry a tall daughter-in-law." There is also a saying in our countryside, whether it is a flower or a beautiful one, you must pick a big one. The words are rough or not, they all make sense. ”
"As for the three widows, it is even less of a concern! Your second cousin's brother is silent, and he can't kick out a fart with three kicks, and your second sister-in-law's temper is just a cannon fight, just a little bit. If you change to someone else's family, you may be tired of being afraid of the three widows messing around. But your sister-in-law is not afraid at all, the third widow once arranged your second uncle to tease her, and your second sister-in-law dragged her hair and fanned her hard. Since then, the third widow has walked around when she sees your second sister-in-law. ”
After hearing her mother-in-law's analysis, Zhou Cuihua found that she was shallow in front of her mother-in-law.
"Okay, while I'm still a little sleepy, I'll ask my second sister-in-law. If her family is also willing, this family affair may really be possible. Zhou Cuihua should go down, pack up her things, and walk to the fifth cave, where Li Wulang's family lives.
Second Grandma Li was preparing to make breakfast, Second Grandpa Li had already gotten up and picked up dung everywhere, and Li Wulang was weaving baskets at home. Although the basket is not as good as carpenter Li's, it is enough for his own use, and he doesn't need to spend money to buy it. Sometimes he also sent two brooms to her family, and he was a capable and ingenious offspring.
"Auntie, big ······ Early in the morning, you······ Why do you have time to come? "Li Wulang has a docile personality, down-to-earth and hard-working, and the young man is a stammer, a little short, about the same height as Zhou Cuihua.
Zhou Cuihua smiled, "Gorou's hands are skillful, and the basket that I used to weave before, I used it well." ”
"Then I······ I'll take the time to give my aunt a few more ······ Several. Li Wulang smiled generously and was kind.
If Yu can really marry Li Wulang, he will really be happy in the future.
"Okay, thank you Goro." Zhou Cuihua thanked and walked to the kitchen not far from the entrance of the cave, "Second sister-in-law, are you busy?" ”
Second Grandma Li smiled, "It's Cuihua, I'm cooking, I'm not busy." Come early in the morning, what's wrong? ”
Zhou Cuihua entered the kitchen and said in front of Second Grandma Li that Yu came to her house early this morning and wanted to remarry, and while talking, she observed the expression of her second sister-in-law.
Second Grandma Li's eyes lit up, "Then the Yu family is really willing to remarry?" ”
Zhou Cuihua nodded, "Yes, come to me early in the morning, although that person doesn't talk much, he is a good person and very serious." Second sister-in-law, do you have a crush on that Yu's family? Aren't you afraid that the three widows will make trouble? After all, a village doesn't look up and see it, and the Yu family still has a son lock, so it is impossible not to come and go in the future. ”
When Grandma Li heard this, she waved her hand, "Others are afraid of the third widow, but I am not afraid, I have beaten her before, and I have also seen her drill into the grove with my own eyes, she is afraid of me." I'm a strict person, if you don't tell me about the Yu family, I won't say it. Yu's is tall, and he is easy to raise at first glance, although he is in trouble, he knows the roots. My family Goro has a generous personality and doesn't have any opinions. Your second brother and I can still be in charge of him when we are alive. When we are gone, we will have to rely on our daughter-in-law and children. Even if the sweet potatoes at home are worth a lot now, I don't dare to say my daughter-in-law from the local area, for fear that we will not be there in the future and bully my family Goro. ”
Zhou Cuihua sighed, her mother-in-law is still powerful, and what the second sister-in-law thinks in her heart is what her mother-in-law says.
"Since the second sister-in-law is willing, I will pass you a message." Zhou Cuihua said with a smile, since both parties were willing, she would help make peace, "If the third widow disagrees, second sister-in-law, do you have any way?" ”
Second Grandma Li thought for a while, "After eating, I will go with you to find the third widow." I came to tell her that if she was reasonable, we would follow the method of reasoning, spend the dowry, and marry back. If she is unreasonable, as long as the Yu family agrees and does not spend a penny, I can marry my daughter-in-law and make the three widows lose their money. ”
Zhou Cuihua nodded, "That's okay, sister-in-law, let's go back to cook first." When you're done, go find me. ”
"Cuihua, thank you for your hard work, I remember your good in my heart!" Second Grandma Li smiled, thinking that things could be done.
Zhou Cuihua came back, and just saw Yu Shi following behind Liu Pan'er and coming back together.
Zhou Cuihua walked to Yu's side and whispered: "I went to the second sister-in-law to tell you, the second sister-in-law should go down, and said that she had eaten and went to your mother-in-law to talk about it." ”
Seeing Zhou Cuihua whispering, Yu Shi smiled, "Auntie, third brother and sister, she also knows that I want to remarry, you don't have to speak in a low voice." ”
When Zhou Cuihua heard this, she smiled, "The Yuanqing family also knows, so I won't hide it." You work well for the Yuanqing family, and you won't be at a loss. ”
Yu nodded, "Yes, auntie, I understand now that you can't be rigid, you should live for yourself." ”
"Yes, don't be afraid, everything has me and my second sister-in-law, let's tell your mother-in-law." Zhou Cuihua replied, encouraging the hard-working Yu family.
Liu Paner washed her hands and said, "A few days ago, when we went to the county seat, I also saw a new notice posted by the government, which encouraged widows to remarry. This is encouraged by the imperial court, as long as you are personally willing, no one can stop you. ”
Yu's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise: "Why does the imperial court encourage widows to remarry?" I remember when I was just widowed, many people persuaded me to keep it, and what did I say about the chastity archway, anyway, not only the people, but even the government did not let people remarry. ”
When Liu Pan'er heard this, she explained with a smile, "Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he has begun to encourage widows to remarry, and the war in the north, northwest, and southwest is tense, and there are many deaths. Those men who served as soldiers, after they died, left so many widows that there was no way to continue. can remarry, become a family, and live a life. Young women remarry and have more children, these are all needed by the state, and of course they must be encouraged. ”
In the past, there were many widows, and the government reported it as a political achievement; Now that widows remarry, they will also report it as a political achievement.
Zhou Cuihua admired Liu Pan'er in her heart, she could tell the notice of the Great Zhou to the point, and the woman who had seen the world was powerful, not a servant woman in the countryside could compare.
"Since the court encouraged it, Orchid, don't feel guilty." Zhou Cuihua said with a smile, "You remarried in the same village, you know the roots, Gorou is a good husband with a pure personality, a kind person, and a good husband." A little stammering, but it doesn't affect communication. He is short, but he has great strength, a strong body, and a well-rounded appearance. The second sister-in-law and the second brother are kind and shrewd people in the village. ”
When Yu heard Zhou Cuihua's words, he nodded with a smile, "Well, as long as I can give birth to a boy and a girl for Li Wulang, they will treat me well." ”
When Liu Pan'er heard Yu's words, her heart was slightly sour, but she knew that this was reality.
Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, the couple has no children, and there are many who can't get together. If it weren't for the Dink family, even if the relationship between the two people was good, they would be separated by their parents because they had no children.
Forget it, Liu Paner doesn't want to impose her own ideas on the current woman.
Yu's ability to come out bravely and want to remarry is actually very rare, and I hope that after Yu's remarriage, he will be able to be happy and peaceful.
