Chapter 255: Chu Qing is lying on the gun
Youzhi County has benefited a lot in the past six months.
Developing side businesses for the people and attracting investment is nothing. It is something that almost every official will do. The real benefit is the "management experience" brought by these boys under Chu Qing.
These young people have a good grasp of the people's psychology. How to punish those who take advantage, how to reward those who are down-to-earth and willing to work, and how to deal with those who harm interests, they are much more agile than the county magistrate like him.
According to this development momentum, it is only a matter of time before Huai'an County "gets rid of poverty and becomes rich".
While the magistrate of Huai'an County was chewing the sausage, which became more and more delicious the more he chewed it, the magistrate of Xingtang County was also having dinner, which tasted just like chewing wax.
What's going on? Because divorce proceedings are on the rise.
In Daxuan, there are four ways to get divorced.
The first is to divorce your wife, or call her out.
If you commit one or more of the "seven things", you can divorce your wife. Of course, if you meet any of the "three no-go" conditions, that is, the woman has nowhere to go, has been in mourning for her parents-in-law for three years, and is relatively filial.
, a man who has experienced poverty and humiliation together with his husband and later becomes prosperous cannot divorce his wife.
The second type, combination and separation
If a husband and wife feel that they have different views and can no longer live together, or if they find true love separately, after reaching an agreement, they can go to the government together to go through the formalities.
The third option is to file for divorce.
If one party wants to divorce and the other party does not want to, as long as there are reasonable grounds for divorce, the government will accept the application and then force the two to divorce after a trial.
The fourth type is righteousness.
There is conflict or even great hatred in the family between the man and woman. They cannot continue to be husband and wife and are forced to divorce.
Recently, most of what Xu Guangze has come into contact with is the third type, filing for divorce.
Who doesn't do anything serious every day and settles divorce lawsuits for others?
"I'm so full!" Xu Guangze drank the tea in one gulp and put the cup on the table.
"Sir, we can't go on like this. We won't be able to solve one or two cases a day, and it will take a lot of effort, time, and money!" The master also frowned.
In a divorce case, the yamen cannot approve or reject it hastily. It must first be mediated. If mediation is not successful, the yamen must visit their families based on the opinions of both parties.
Now that everything is well-understood, we have to endure the high-decibel bombardment of the two families who are quarreling, reach an agreement on child custody and property distribution, and then have the elders of both parties sign their signatures, and then change their household registration, in order to achieve a divorce.
.
Divorce is not complete. If the woman's family has no male members, that is, she has no father, and her brothers take her in, they will have to set up a "female household".
If you become a female household, the county government will also provide you with certain benefits, such as being exempted from hard labor.
"If we can't survive, it's easy to talk about it, can't we have a decent separation?" Xu Guangze forgot that the cup was empty, picked it up and poured it into his mouth. There was nothing, and he became even more angry.
The master quickly refilled the tea: "It's all Chu Qing's fault! If she hadn't been hanging around in front, how could these women be following behind and acting like monsters!"
Xu Guangze: "What do you mean?"
Master: "Isn't that right? She made soybean oil, and the whole county started to grow soybeans. She opened a textile workshop, and the whole county started washing wool and spinning cotton. Now she has set up a food court, and the whole county has started raising chickens and pigs.
, sell to Huaian County..."
Xu Guangze sighed with emotion: "Oh, Chu Qing has done so many great things in just a few years!"
Master: "Sir, I mean, after all the things she did, the common people made a lot of money, but they were also impetuous. Those women thought they could make money, and they jumped.
He got up and started crying and filing for divorce!"
The master has his own reasons for saying this. His daughter-in-law has been "restless" recently and threatened to divorce, which made him and his wife very angry.
Xu Guangze glanced at the master with a meaningful look and asked: "So it seems that what Chu Qing did was not a good thing?"
The master said: "It's not that everything she did was bad, but at least as a woman, she shouldn't have been in the public eye and should have stayed at home.
But look at how many families are in unrest now. Rural women, aged fourteen or fifteen, are clamoring not to get married; those who are married are clamoring not to take concubines!"
Yes, most of those who are divorcing are unwilling to let their husbands take concubines.
When people have extra money, they will naturally think of having more children and being blessed. The elders will persuade women to have more children.
There is nothing wrong with having children. Women from ordinary families are not expensive, and they do not miss work when they are pregnant.
But what makes women unbearable is that their men actually keep concubines. Just after saving a few taels of silver, do they want to live a dandy life of "sleeping with a big quilt"?
The two families who gave Xu Guangze a headache today are very representative.
The woman was criticized by her husband’s family for being useless: “When I first married you, your family couldn’t even afford a dowry;
Besides, you are not pretty, so our family will be at a disadvantage if we marry you;
It has been seven years now, and you have given birth to three girls. Why can’t my son take a concubine?
If you can't give birth to a son, what's wrong with my son getting a few to give birth to sons?
I actually have the nerve to mention marriage and divorce. I thought it would be nice to give you a divorce letter! You will take advantage of the first of seven, and you will have no children!"
The mother's family is not easy to bully: "As the saying goes: A girl from a family can be found in hundreds of families. No matter how poor my family is or how ugly my daughter is, I don't have to worry about getting married!"
What's more, why did my daughter become ugly? She is not a pretty person. She came to your house to work as a cow, tired and sick?
Why didn't you give your daughter a dowry in the first place? We really like your family. Even if we borrow money, we would buy some dowry for our daughter, just because we don't like it!
Your family tradition is not that good!
We don't agree, so your boy comes to our village every day and mobilizes our village chief to intercede. As time goes by, my daughter's reputation is ruined. This is how you get an advantage!
Ever since my daughter came to your house, she has been diligent and hard-working, and she has never had a full meal!
Your family even treats my daughter like an ox and a horse. Whose daughter-in-law is going to the ground with a hoe? You can do such a thing!
I want to divorce my daughter, but there is no way! Why is she childless? You have the honor to tell me why she is childless? My daughter is pregnant with her first child, why did she have a miscarriage?
In the middle of winter, you let her carry a fetus of more than four months to fetch water for your alcoholic son to bathe! The well was so slippery that she fell and had a miscarriage, turning into a male fetus!"
As she spoke, her mother began to cry: "Is it because my daughter-in-law can't give birth to a son? It's because your family has no virtue and deserves to be childless!"
What did you do to her? You have no conscience! We paid our own money to take our daughter back and raise her. We will raise her for more than half a year before sending her back.
Ask yourselves, how many times have your sons been stealing outside? In other words, you have no money, so you have to steal everywhere. If you fail to steal, you will be beaten to death!
My daughter continues to work for your family! If nothing else, let’s just say that in the past few years, my daughter has been working outside in order to ensure that the children have enough to eat. Only when you see the money do you treat her better!
Now that you have money, you want to take a concubine. If my daughter doesn't agree, you'll beat her!
You don’t need to discuss it with us, we don’t care how many you want to marry or how many you want, just get married and divorce!
If we don’t want to divorce, then we can file a lawsuit and let the county magistrate make the decision for us!”
The women of the two families quarreled with the women, the men quarreled with the men, and the couple who had not yet divorced started to fight in court.
It’s not just this family, all those who filed for divorce are like this. The woman thinks: I worked hard to have children and work to make money. I work more than cows and eat less than chickens!
Oh, life is getting better. Either they think I'm not good-looking or they want to have more sons, so they want to take concubines. They want to spend the money I earn, order my people, beat my children, and even want me to open a car.
I am happy to serve you and your little wife!
The man only has one sentence: When you get married, obey your husband!
Those who dare to come to court to file for divorce are not ordinary women. They have their own confidence: "I can make money by myself, raising children is no problem, and I can live a better life!"
I don’t have to look at the faces of your family, I’m even happier! I just treat myself as a widow! Whoever leaves you can’t survive?
Look at Mr. Chu, he is a role model for us women! He who is an orphan and a widower not only makes a lot of money, but also becomes a high official!"
