Xiao Fuyuan stood in the crowd and sighed, full of sympathy for Sister Qinghe.
Here, if a woman does not give birth to a child, no, if she does not give birth to a son, she is carrying original sin.
Not all families dote on girls like the Lao Bai family.
"She has been married to my son for so many years and has not been able to have a child. My Han family has provided for her with good food and drink. Now she wants to adopt my nephew's child, so she will take Qiao." Mr. Niu took advantage of it and kept talking with her handkerchief on her hips. .
"My mother-in-law, if you want to support Qinghe, you have to see if you are reasonable or not." Mrs. Niu said to Mrs. Xia.
Mrs. Xia stood next to Xia Qinghe, looking very embarrassed.
She couldn't accept this. After all, her daughter married into the Han family and had no children, so it was a mistake.
But thinking of the injuries on Qinghe's arms and body, she felt as uncomfortable as a thorn in her heart.
The onlookers looked at the Xia family and then the Han family, and their hearts turned towards the Han family.
"Speaking of which, Qinghe got married after Erzhuang got married. How old is Sanlang of Erzhuang's family? Qinghe hasn't gotten pregnant for so many years."
"No, what the Han family said makes sense. Who doesn't marry a daughter-in-law just to have children? It's not bad if they don't even have a child after so many years of marriage without giving a divorce letter."
"Although we have watched Qinghe grow up, to be fair, it would be too much to prevent a man from adopting a step-nephew even if she has no children."
"The Han family has done a good job, and they even came to take Qing He back. I heard that some families can't give birth to children, and they have to keep their wives even if they don't divorce them. People in our village don't take concubines, but why should the Han family have no offspring?"
Everyone started talking, and the voices got louder and louder. When it reached Niu's ears, she became even more proud.
Xia Qinghe's face was always pale.
Xie Chuntao and Bai Dazhuang originally came to Xia's house to break up the fight, but now they didn't know how to stop them.
In the Xia family, only Mrs. Xia is at home. Xia Qinghe's brother Xia Qingpi has not returned from the mine, and her sister-in-law Zheng has gone to her parents' house.
Therefore, Xie Chuntao and Bai Dazhuang did not just leave it alone.
"Sister Qinghe..." Xie Chuntao spoke with difficulty and advised, "There will be stumbling blocks between husband and wife, it's not a big deal..."
In Xie Chuntao's simple understanding, it is normal for couples to have stumbling blocks.
Life has to go on.
Xia Qinghe was grateful to Xie Chuntao and Bai Dazhuang for their support, but she decided not to go back to the Han family.
"Sister-in-law, I know you are good for me. But there are more things you and Brother Da Zhuang don't know. I can never go back with the Han family." Xia Qinghe said.
"How can a married girl live in her parents' house?" someone in the crowd muttered.
Everyone nodded, yes.
There are parents-in-law and men, so how can anyone live in her parents' house?
However, Qiuniang lives in Lao Bai's house. Doesn't that mean she died as a widower?
Han Shan's eyes widened and he said: "You can't give birth to a child. You are good to me and the Han family, but you are just pretending."
Xia Qinghe said without giving in: "Then just bring me the divorce letter."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xia turned pale with fright.
There is no married daughter in Shenshu Village who has been divorced and returned to her parents' family. The divorced woman not only brings shame to her parents' family, but also ends up being a girl for the rest of her life.
"Qinghe..." Mrs. Xia shouted.
"Qinghe, you keep making noises and making noises, but you can't keep talking about divorce. If you are divorced, what will you do in the future? What will your mother do? You still have a niece."
Xiao Fuyuan turned around and saw that the person speaking was the village chief's wife.
"Yes, Qinghe, you can't keep talking about it." Xie Chuntao followed the words of the village chief's wife.
Xia Qinghe's eyes were red and she was speechless for a moment.
This is the helplessness of women in this era. If a woman in a family is divorced, all the girls in the family will be nailed to the pillar of shame.
"Qinghe, you and your son-in-law should go back and live a good life. The children who adopt his cousin will always be your own nephews." Mrs. Xia wiped her tears and advised with choked sobs.
How could she not feel sorry for her daughter, but there was no reason for a married daughter to live in her parents' family. Qinghe would have to go back sooner or later anyway.
Why don't you go back with your son-in-law now, otherwise the trouble will be too big and it won't end, and Qinghe will be the one who gets hurt.
"My mother-in-law has advised me this way, so this turmoil should be over." Mrs. Niu said and was about to go into the house to get Xia Qinghe's baggage.
Xia Qinghe stood in front of the door, gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, you don't know what kind of life I have lived in the Han family these years. Even if I am divorced, I will not go back."
"What kind of life are you living? My Han family provides you with good food and drink. Look which daughter-in-law in your Shenshu Village lives as well as you. We can tolerate you even if you don't have children. No one is here to rush you. If you are divorced, fine, if you pay for the expenses you have spent on the Han family over the years, I will give you a divorce letter." Mr. Niu was very dissatisfied.
Again, talking about children.
Xiao Fuyuan suddenly said: "Didn't you say that having children is not just a woman's business?"
Whose child talks about male and female reproduction in public?
Anyone who dares to say this will be labeled as having a bad family tradition.
Everyone saw that it was Xiao Fuyuan who said, oh, that's okay, she is the lucky girl of Shenshu Village.
Blessed girl doesn't know much more than the average child.
Wait, what does Xiao Fuyuan mean by this?
Everyone looked at Han Shan with a hint of ambiguity. After all, Xiao Fuyuan never failed to speak.
Xiao Fuyuan stood next to Bai Zhaomei, her big eyes full of confusion.
Han Shan's face turned the color of pig liver, and Niu was even more furious. He pointed at Xiao Fuyuan and said, "Whose little girl is this? She doesn't understand any rules. She can even say such things as giving birth to a child, and she doesn't know what adults are doing." How did you teach me?"
"What the hell, that's my sister, who are you talking about?" Bai Dazhuang's face darkened.
"My sister-in-law is the emperor's own village head, and it's your turn to teach her a lesson." Xie Chuntao also looked unhappy.
My girl has not been wronged at all at home, but she was scolded by an outsider.
Can this be tolerated?
Bai Zhaomei has rolled up her sleeves and is ready to fight.
The people in the village looked at Mr. Niu with equally unkind eyes. Xiao Fuyuan was the only village head of their Shenshu Village since ancient times and was personally conferred by the emperor, but he was actually reprimanded in public by people from other villages.
"You old man is just teaching your daughter-in-law a lesson. What do you think our village head is doing? Be careful that the emperor chops off your head." The village chief's wife said fearfully, "Maybe our village head was right. It's not that Qinghe can't give birth. , is your son unable to have a baby?"
As soon as the village chief's wife finished speaking, the villagers burst into laughter.
"I think what our village head said makes sense. Think about it, when did our village head say something incorrect? Otherwise, why would the emperor not make someone else a village head, but why would he appoint our little Yuanbao as a village head?" Aunt Hu seemed to say. It's like understanding the mysteries.
"Who said my son can't have a baby? Qinghe is the hen that doesn't lay eggs." Niu started to talk indiscriminately.
"Yes, I just don't want to lay eggs for your family, so give me a letter of divorce." Xia Qinghe threw a grateful glance at Xiao Fuyuan and said.
Han Shan was furious and said coldly: "Don't think that I don't know why you are so anxious to leave the Han family. It's not because you have already hooked up with an adulterer."
As soon as these words came out, the whole courtyard was in uproar.
