Originally, remarrying after the husband's death was not a problem at all in this era.
The marriage system of the Song Dynasty was quite liberal and not as strict as the Ming and Qing Dynasties when Neo-Confucianism flourished.
Women in this era are very happy to break off when they need to, and leave when they need to.
It is very common for women to initiate divorce or remarry.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, two prime ministers even competed to marry a widow.
Although the widow was not only young and beautiful, but also a rich woman, the fact that the two prime ministers were able to go to court for her was evident.
However, Danniang’s unlucky husband died less than a hundred days ago...
We have a good match so soon...
Even Old Man Fan, a scumbag of the whole family, felt it was a bit too much.
However, due to Yang Yuan's status as an official, they did not dare to speak out and could only look at this "dog man and woman" with strange expressions.
In their minds, they were even speculating whether Shopkeeper Fang was drunk and fell into the water or was poisoned.
The more I think about it, the more I am afraid, I am so scared...
Dan Niang's parents were already the masters of the family, so when they felt scared, they both looked at the second uncle eagerly.
The second uncle has seen the world, and the two parents brought him here specifically, hoping to scare Dan Niang with his knowledge.
Now that a high-ranking official from Yang has appeared on the way, who is also their daughter's best friend, the couple can only count on Second Uncle Fan to help them.
Second Uncle Fan had no choice but to bite the bullet and defend himself: "Sir, please don't let my Dan Niang deceive you. This child must have deceived the senior official with a generous dowry, right?"
It should be noted that a woman has no children and if she remarries, she has no right to inherit her ex-husband’s property, so she cannot remarry at all. She is taking advantage of you, a high official! "
Yang Yuan couldn't help but laugh. He let go of Dan Niang and walked towards Uncle Fan.
Uncle Fan took two steps back subconsciously.
Yang Yuan stretched out his legs and hooked an armchair, turned around, and sat down grandly.
Yang Yuan lifted the train of his robe. When the train of the robe was raised, Yang Yuan had already crossed his legs elegantly. He held the knife in both hands and put it on his knees. He said with a smile, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"Don't dare, don't dare. Xiaomin... is just reminding the officials."
"Haha, first of all, Yang only likes Dan Niang. Yang doesn't care whether she has money or not."
Yang Yuan patted the scabbard and said slowly.
"Secondly, since you know that Dan Niang did not inherit the Fang family's inheritance, but held it on behalf of her.
If Dan Niang has a son, when the son grows up, the property will belong to the son.
If she has no children, the inheritance should be given to the relatives of the Fang clan, who will support her throughout her life.
Or maybe she can still inherit the restaurant, but she is not allowed to remarry. After a hundred years, the inheritance will be assigned to the Fang family...
So, why are you here to deceive Dan Niang and ask her to transfer the restaurant to your name? "
Yang Yuan slapped the scabbard hard and said with a serious face: "When the Japanese clan comes to seek justice, how will you let Dan Niang deal with it?"
Uncle Fan's expression suddenly changed.
Their original plan was to coax Dan Niang to transfer the restaurant to Fan Dong's name, wait for the transfer of ownership of the restaurant, cash it in immediately, sell it into money and return to their hometown.
When the Fang clan comes to visit them in the future, they will have no choice but to go to their hometown to file a lawsuit, and the skin will be ripped off.
If you really can't evade it at that time, just hand over Dan Niang and let the Fang clan do whatever they want.
Anyway, they have already eaten the money in their stomachs, and don't want them to spit out another penny.
Unexpectedly, a high-ranking official who understands the law has appeared and explained the pros and cons.
Dan Niang really didn't understand these laws and regulations. Only when Yang Yuan said it now did she understand the pros and cons.
She looked at her parents in disbelief, her eyes blurred by tears.
At this moment, her heart hurt so much, it was even more painful than her mother's beating just now.
th.
At this moment, her heart died.
Yang Yuan slowly tightened his grip on the knife, put it on the chair, and said in a deep voice: "You guys, get out of here right away! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Fan's family looked at each other.
Fan Dong, Danniang's younger brother, didn't know the importance of it yet, but when he thought of a huge restaurant that suddenly disappeared, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Yang Yuan was an official, so he didn't dare to provoke her, but... Dan Niang was his sister.
In his mind, Dan Niang can be bullied at will.
Fan Dong, who was so angry, immediately pulled his neck and shouted: "Okay, you are an official, we can't afford to offend you, then let's go.
However, my sister has long been sold as a concubine by my father. It is against the rules to run away from a concubine and marry another. We have to take my sister back, and you have nothing to do with her. "
Dan Niang's brother screamed and stepped forward angrily, trying to pull Dan Niang away.
Yang Yuan sat still, but a kick suddenly flew up from under his robe and kicked Fan Dong in the crotch.
"Hey hey hey..."
Fan Dong screamed all the way, staggering a long way like a crab.
He fell all the way out of the door, missed his footing on the stairs, and fell down with a groan.
Danniang's second uncle and uncle were frightened and rushed out of the house.
But once they left, they never came back.
Old Man Fan and Mrs. Deng waited blankly for a while, but when they didn't come back, they understood what was going on.
The two couples couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
They didn't have much knowledge to begin with, so when they saw the official, they were frightened at first, and knowing that they were being unreasonable, they became even more frightened.
Now that even the backbone has gone, the two couples looked at each other and had no choice but to walk out.
Aunt Deng was unwilling to give in. As she walked away, she gnashed her teeth and cursed at Danniang: "Little bitch, don't think that if you have a concubine with a high-ranking official, I can't control you. I have ten thousand ways to punish you, just wait. On."
There was a "crack", and when Yang Yuan raised his hand with the knife to make a threatening move, Old Man Fan and Aunt Deng slipped out of the door with a "flash".
Yang Yuan shook his head and looked at Dan Niang.
Dan Niang hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, gave Yang Yuan a gentle blessing, and said in a low voice: "Thank you to the official for rescuing the slave family. The scandal in Dan Niang's family made the officials laugh."
At this time, Danniang was soft and timid, completely different from the amorous feelings in Yang Yuan's memory, but still as alluring.
Yang Yuan smiled and said, "You don't have to say thank you, little lady. I don't just sit around and see injustice. I'm here just for you."
Dan Niang subconsciously took a step back, raised her eyes and glanced at Yang Yuan. Seeing his burning gaze, she quickly lowered her eyes and muttered: "The slave family... don't understand what the official meant."
Yang Yuan smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter whether you understand what I mean. What's important is that I don't think you want your property to be taken away by others, right?"
Um?
Dan Niang raised her eyes and looked at Yang Yuan in surprise.
Yang Yuan said: "Your mother-in-law's family is greedy for profit, but they are limited by filial piety and etiquette, and you can't do anything about them. You must be very desperate, right?"
Dan Niang said cautiously: "The Nu family... don't quite understand what the official means."
Yang Yuan said calmly: "As far as I know, it's not just your mother's family who is interested in your property.
Even the members of your husband's family are also thinking about "eating out their families". I wonder, my dear wife, how do you plan to deal with this? "
"Then... what the official means is..."
Yang Yuan smiled and said: "If I have my support for you, whether it is your husband's family or your natal family, you don't have to worry. This property is yours and no one can take it away."
Dan Niang pursed her lips and said weakly: "A high official, Nu Nu... is a decent woman..."
