First of all, in terms of living, your eldest sister can live in her home, but there is no extra room in your house. Your three unmarried brothers share a room. Up to now, you have been sleeping in the room separated by your parents.
Your eldest sister's return means that your family will build an additional house.
Secondly, unlike you who are not married, your eldest sister has been married. When she comes home, she has a profound influence. Apart from anything else, except for your eldest sister-in-law, your other two sisters-in-law have no experience of living together with her.
, if there are conflicts between sisters-in-law, it will be detrimental to the unity of a family.
Finally, if a family has a daughter who has been abandoned, it will have a huge impact on the entire family and women in the entire family. In the future, not only you, but also the marriages of your nieces will be affected.
Man Bao was shocked.
Finally, Keke told Manbao that your family was not very reasonable in this matter and was at an absolute disadvantage.
"Really?" Man Bao didn't believe it. She pointed at more and more people in the yard and said, "But I don't think so?"
Keke also scanned the outside and gradually fell silent.
The village chief is here. Not only the village chief is here, but also some elders in the village. They are all older people, and relatives who are close to the Zhou family are also here.
At this time they were all staying in the yard, very angry.
Qian didn't say anything, but Old Zhou did. He told everyone with a dark face, "Two days ago, someone from the Liu family sent me a message, saying that my family was pregnant but I was not pregnant, and asked me to pick her up when I was free.
When I came back, I was thinking that those who celebrate the New Year should wait until this new year is over. Even if they really can't live anymore, they can't separate before the New Year, right? But who knows, it has only been two days since the news came, and they
The Liu family just gave me a divorce, or should they drive the child out early? Do you want her to freeze to death in such a cold weather?"
He added: "It has been eight years since I got married. There is no merit but hard work. As you know, my children are not bad. They can work on the land and enter the kitchen. She is not in charge of everything in the Liu family, inside and outside?"
Divorcing my daughter back without even telling our Zhou family, she is planning to enmity with our Zhou family and our Qili Village!"
Zhou Lang said: "There was also my sister's dowry, so they packed up a set of tattered clothes and brought them back to my sister. My sister didn't bring back any of my sister's dowry. They helped them marry a daughter-in-law. My sister worked hard in his house for eight years.
, do you have to bring in your family’s dowry?”
Zhou Zhoulang knew that it was impossible for his sister and brother-in-law to continue living together when things got to this point, so he could only get some benefits for his sister.
The village elder of Qili Village, the village chief and the Zhou family members were also very angry. The village chief asked Zhou Dalang, "Have you gone to call your uncles?"
Zhou Dalang said: "Silang went to call him, he should be back soon."
The village chief nodded and said: "This matter cannot be taken lightly, otherwise it will be a violation of the rules."
The five brothers of the Zhou family in the yard all nodded with dark faces. The clan elders knew what they were doing. In the final analysis, it is up to their brothers to take the lead in this kind of thing. Otherwise, they will soften first. The clan can help.
Also limited.
Fortunately, the Zhou family has enough brothers and they are tough enough.
Even in the countryside, there are rules for divorcing your wife.
Old Zhoutou's father was a single man, and there was only one cousin above him. The direct descendant from his cousin was the village chief, and he was separated by several levels.
But Lao Zhoutou was able to give birth. He gave birth to six sons and one daughter in his life. When he named them, he used the eight words "Congratulations on getting rich, and the granary will be full", which are all good wishes.
Zhou Xi ranked second, just over one year younger than Zhou Dalang.
Zhou Xi has been married for eight years, but she has never gotten pregnant. Her life in her husband's family is not easy, but it is not particularly bad because she has many brothers.
I still remember that one year during the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhou Xi did not return to her parents' home. Zhou Lang led his two younger brothers to look for her. They found that his sister had a black eye at the corner. He didn't even need to go home to call his elder brother and the others. At that time, the three and a half-year-old children held down Liu Dalang and beat her.
After a meal, the Liu family scolded them all the way.
As a result, the next day Zhou Dalang took Zhou Xilang and Zhou Xilang to Liujiacun and beat Liu Dalang again. The Liu family didn't even dare to fart now. Then the Zhou family took Zhou Xi back and lived there for more than two months.
, after the autumn harvest, Liu Dalang knelt on the ground and begged before he was taken back.
In this way, the Liu family dared to divorce Zhou Xi so lightly, which was really a shame. It was not like they were destitute without any brothers from their mother's family.
Even if you are divorcing your wife, you must first notify the relatives of the mother's family, and the relatives will sit together with the husband's family to discuss whether to divorce the wife or divorce, how to divorce the wife, and how to divorce, all of which have to be discussed.
, just driving people out with a divorce note is not chasing Zhou Xi, it is rubbing the dignity of the Zhou family, Zhou family and Qili Village on the ground.
Can Lao Zhoutou agree?
Can the village chief agree? Can the clan members agree?
That's definitely not possible.
Not to mention Manbao, even Keke was shocked. It turned out that there were so many details about divorce in ancient times. He thought...
Oh, well, this is not an era where male dominance is supreme and women are trampled to the 18th floor underground.
Man Bao clapped his hands when he heard this, and hugged Zhou Xi who was in a daze and said: "Sister, don't be afraid, dad will make the decision for you."
Zhou Xi reluctantly smiled at her, feeling very confused.
Of course her father will make the decision for her when she is divorced, but what happens after that?
What should she do?
"Live at my mother's house"
Even if her brothers are okay with it, her sister-in-law and younger siblings may not be. It's okay in the short term, but in the long run, her tongue and teeth will start to fight, let alone someone she has already married once.
remarry?
Thinking about the eight years of marriage, Zhou Xi shuddered. Looking at the innocent and simple Yaomei, she couldn't help but feel sad. She hugged her and wailed: "Why is it so difficult? How can life be like this?"
Disaster?"
Man Bao didn't think life was difficult, but she could feel her eldest sister's sadness, and when she saw her crying, she couldn't help but cry too.
But unlike Zhou Xi, she had to hold back her tears. She always cried loudly and expressed her grievances.
So when I saw my eldest sister crying in pain, her tears also fell down, and then she opened her mouth and cried loudly.
The cry startled the people outside, and Lao Zhou almost fell when he ran back. When he returned to the house, he saw two girls hugging each other and crying, but they were fine. He was relieved but angry.
When he couldn't do it, he yelled: "Why are you crying? What's the point of crying? I've tricked your sister into crying. She's going to cry her eyes out. Look at me, look at me..."
"Okay," Ms. Qian glanced at him, not wanting to quarrel with him in front of everyone. She walked to her eldest daughter, touched her head, and sighed: "If you want to cry, just cry. I'm going to cry today."
After that, you are not allowed to cry anymore."
Biting her lip, Zhou Xi couldn't bear the grievance in her heart any longer. She hugged Man Bao tightly and even burst into tears like her.
For a while, her cries could only be heard inside and outside the Zhou family. The clan elders sighed quietly, lowered their heads and said nothing, but they couldn't help but feel a little pity in their hearts.
The Zhou brothers all had red eyes, clenched their fists in anger, and hated the Liu family so much.
