Chapter 254 Yue Niang wants to stay with A Niang for the rest of her life, to take care of her and see her to the end of her life!

What is the fifth village rule written by Li Shiyue?
"Article 5: Unmarried girls in the village cannot marry outside the village!

You can choose to have a foreign man marry into the family, or have a foreign man move in with the wife! "

To put it in a broader sense, this is like digging up someone's ancestral grave!
Why do you say that?
If it was just a family that allowed their daughter to find a man from outside to marry into the family, then there would be nothing wrong with it.

Jiang Huai had heard from Li Xiatian that she and Li Qiutian were Zheng Meiniang's only children. So it was easy to understand why Li Qiutian wanted to marry a son-in-law in the future.

If you only have a daughter but no son, then finding a son-in-law for your daughter, keeping her by your side and not letting her marry out, and relying on her and her son-in-law for support and care in the future, this is indeed a way out.

After all, there are indeed families who only gave birth to daughters but no sons.

You can't just ask a family without sons to marry their daughter off and leave the old couple at home to die, right?

But what did Li Shiyue write?
It means that all unmarried girls in the village are not allowed to marry out, and can only marry a son-in-law!

What about "foreign men moving in with their wives"?
Isn't this still marrying into the family?

How can this be done?
If a daughter does not marry and stays at home, she will have to pay an extra head tax;

Girls get less land than boys, and they don’t have the strength to grow food for the family.
It would be fine if there were only a girl in the family, but if there were boys in the family, if the girl was not married off, regardless of whether the parents agreed or not, the boys and the daughter-in-law would be in a big fuss!
How can the sisters-in-law who have never married, or those who stay at home to find a son-in-law, continue to live their lives?
How should parents’ land, private property, house, and even pots and pans be distributed?
Besides, if I can only marry a son-in-law instead of marrying someone else, can I get a good son?
Any good man with some ability would not marry into someone else's family!

So, as soon as he saw this, Jiang Huai was shocked.

Jiang Huai looked up and stared at Li Shiyue who was sitting above him drinking tea calmly. He was shocked and curious at the same time.

He really wanted to know why Li Shiyue, who was able to become the leader of Liujiatun, made this the village rule?
There must be some reason that he didn't expect?

Li Shiyue put down the teacup. Just by looking at the way Jiang Huai looked at her, she knew that Jiang Huai had seen the fifth item.

She didn't say anything, but just nodded at Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai opened his mouth and then closed it again, "This is Liujiatun's business, and it's not appropriate for me, an outsider, to say too much."

Jiang Huai doesn't talk much, so naturally people who saw this message started talking.

Li Youfu slapped Gao Ji with a loud slap. The slap was so loud that Li Shiyue said that Li Youfu's hand must have been hurt.

"Nonsense!
October, let’s forget about the first few rules, but what does the fifth rule say?
Girls are not allowed to marry outside the family!

Have you gone crazy now that you have become an official?
If a girl doesn't get married when she grows up, and you let her stay at home, can you afford to support her in the future?

What a nonsense!
This one won’t do! This one has to go!

Marriage is a secular thing for men and women. Don't think that just because you are better than ordinary women, everyone is like you!"

Li Youfu's series of words were spoken with great force and power, and in the end he turned his head away without even looking at Li Shiyue, as if Li Shiyue was some dirty thing and looked down upon her.

With Li Youfu speaking up, a few men from the eighth uncle's side also started to clamor.

"That's it! That's it!

Marriage between men and women is a rule set by our ancestors, so what? If you, Li Shiyue, want to change it, then we have to change it!"

"Humph! You can change it if you want! Why don't you tell us that if the girl doesn't get married, will you support her for us?
"Marrying into the wife's family? Are you looking for a man to marry into our family?"

"Shiyue is wrong. How can there be a girl as powerful as her?
Girls still have to get married, otherwise what will happen to the family’s real estate and land?
If this is the case, how will my son be able to find a wife in the future?
If you can’t find a wife and have children, how can you pass on your family line?”

As soon as these people started talking, the people in the ancestral hall started buzzing with chatter. Everyone was talking at once. You thought what you said was right, and I thought what I said also made sense.

Among them, Yu Zhenniang, the wife of Li Wangren who was deliberately killed by the Japanese pirates by Li Shiyang, was sitting behind Li Youfu and his eighth uncle, holding Li Yueniang.

She had accidentally heard Li Shiyang say that the deceased head of the family (Li Wangren) had an affair with Qin Tao and had a child, so she wanted to leave this family. But if she wanted to marry again, she could only leave Liujiatun. Not to mention whether she could find a man with a family background outside if she left Liujiatun;
If she left, what would happen to Li Yue Niang?
If she wanted to take Li Yueniang with her, Yu Zhenniang knew that Li Youfu would not agree.

After all, even though Li Yue Niang was a girl, she was the only offspring of the deceased Li Wangren.

The illegitimate child in Qin Tao's belly was beaten to death by Li Wangguang (Li's father)!
But Yu Zhenniang also thought that even if she remarried after Li Yueniang grew up, she would be too old by then to find a good family.
I don’t know if she will be able to have a baby by then?
If she can't have children, which man would be willing to marry her?
But today, when she heard what Li Youfu said, she started to think about it!
"If Yue Niang can marry into the family in the future!

Then I can keep Yue Niang by my side, and when she grows up, I will find her an honest man.

When Yue Niang gives birth to a baby in the future, I can help take care of it, and I will have someone to rely on for the rest of my life!"

Yu Zhenniang's chest was beating "boom boom". She lowered her head to look at Li Yueniang in her arms, and received a sweet "Mother" from Li Yueniang.

"Hey, are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"

Li Yue Niang shook her head obediently and asked Yu Zhen Niang, "Are you thirsty? If you are, tell Yue Niang and I will fetch some water for you!"

Yu Zhenniang shook her head. She heard the people around her loudly criticizing Li Shiyue's rule that girls were not allowed to marry outside the family. She felt hot in her heart, but also a little uneasy.

Suddenly she felt a pull on her collar, and when she lowered her head again, she saw Li Yue Niang waving at her. Yu Zhen Niang lowered her head and put her ear close to Li Yue Niang's mouth.

Then Li Yueniang whispered in Yu Zhenniang's ear: "Mother, Yueniang will not marry in the future. Yueniang will marry a man. Yueniang will stay by your side for the rest of her life and take care of you until the end of your life!"

After hearing this, Yu Zhenniang suddenly raised her head to look at Li Yueniang's little face. After looking at it for a few seconds, she smiled and stretched out her finger to gently touch Li Yueniang's nose.

"How old are you? And you already know how to recruit a son-in-law?"
