Rebirth of marriage

Shao Yifan has been dependent on his eldest brother since he was a child. After his eldest brother died, he couldn't bear that his widowed sister-in-law and nephew were left alone, so he gave up studying and went home to take care of them. However, after two years of getting along, he fell in love with his widowed sister-in-law Yun Niang.

Knowing that he was sorry for his elder brother, he struggled with pain for two years, but still could not let go of Yun Niang. At the same time, he realized that he was not the only one who had unrequited love, and Yun Niang also had feelings for him. He sat in front of his elder brother's grave all night, and finally made up his mind to marry Yun Niang. Explain your intention.

But she was kicked out of the house.

Now with the help of Qing Shu and Xiao Wang, Yun Niang finally agreed. How could he not cherish this opportunity and drag Yun Niang to kneel in front of Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao promised to secure a match for them, ordered the pen and ink to write the marriage certificate for them personally, and asked Mo Li to accompany them to the county government office for sealing and registration.

The prince personally ensured the matchmaking, and the magistrate of Zhan County did not dare to neglect. He quickly completed the process, handed the subsidy money to the two people, and asked two official servants to accompany them back to the village. The village chief was informed of the matter in public.

Upon hearing this, the village chief first congratulated the two people after the official left, and then sternly warned the villagers not to chew on their tongues, otherwise they would offend not only Shao Yifan and the others, but also Xiao Wang.

The village chief was an experienced man and knew that King Xiao's real intention in securing matchmaking for them was to carry out the decree on widow remarriage, so he visited every household with a widowed woman.

They live under the rule of King Xiao, and it is always right to follow him.

That night, an old woman went to find Yun Niang and asked for details.

After the old woman's son died many years ago, she and her widowed daughter-in-law lived together. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very good. When she came to ask about this matter, Yun Niang knew what she was thinking and told her the matter without any concealment.

After hearing this, the old woman nodded and left her house. The next day she went to find a matchmaker to find a good place for her widowed daughter-in-law.

Xie Jiu had been ordering people from Jiuxiao Pavilion to follow up on the implementation of the decree, so she soon learned about the old woman's search for a matchmaker, and the situation about the old woman and her daughter-in-law was also presented to her and Gu Xiao.

The daughter-in-law there has a good reputation in the neighborhood. She is a capable and very filial person. She is 21 years old this year. She has a daughter who was born with a birth defect and has no support. She currently has no children and makes a living by farming.

The old woman was worried that she would die in the future and her daughter-in-law would be left alone, so she wanted to marry her off in her daughter's name. The requirement was that men should not beat their wives, but should love them.

Her husband who died early was a hands-on man, and she suffered from many diseases. Fortunately, her daughter-in-law took good care of her son after his death, otherwise she would have died long ago. She did not want her daughter-in-law to meet a man like the old man.

After Gu Xiao was silent for a moment, he asked someone to call the matchmaker to see if there was anyone in the list given by Prince Xiao who matched the woman.

There is a good man who wants to take care of his brother, and the people under him will never hit a woman.

Even if the matchmaker goes to the old woman's house with the list, the old woman's daughter-in-law already knows her mother-in-law's thoughts and is willing to remarry, but the condition is that she must take her mother-in-law with her.

It's easy to handle if you have the conditions. The matchmaker is very efficient. If she picks the target and walks around to spread the word, the matter will be done.

At the same time, the news that King Xiao personally acted as a matchmaker also spread in Yuyouguan. People who had originally been interested in the matchmaker approached the matchmaker one after another. Within a few days, there were more than a dozen couples.

On the contrary, Xiliu, who was the first to pay attention, has not made any progress. Xiliu's mother-in-law's family has never agreed to her remarriage.

But when I heard that the other party was a general in the army, and saw that those who had successfully remarried, actually received subsidies and worked in Xie Ji's workshop, they relaxed their minds.

But he also made a request that the matchmaker was embarrassed to say, asking General Li Dayong to marry into their family, and he and Xiliu would be filial to their parents-in-law in the future.

The subsidy money issued by the government must be given to the parents-in-law, and the work quota in the workshop must be given to the elder sister-in-law before her husband's family allows her to remarry.

Even the matchmaker found this condition harsh, so she did not inform Li Dayong.

When Xiliu's mother-in-law Miao Dahua found out, she was so angry that she went to Xiliu's in-laws to argue and insisted on helping Xiliu reconcile. However, her in-laws had a tough attitude and instead of agreeing to Xiliu's reconciliation with her late husband, they beat Miao Dahua on the head. Broken blood flow.

Seeing that her mother was so injured because of her, Xiliu sued her husband's family to the government in anger.

Xiliu made a statement to the official that she could not remarry for the rest of her life, but she had to seek justice for her mother.

Her husband's family was also bully, and they felt guilty when they saw that Xiliu really dared to report to the official. After all, it was true that they beat people, and they had a young son who was studying at home.

Fearing that going to court would affect their younger son's future, the husband's family wanted to reconcile privately, but they asked Li Dayong to pay 20 taels of silver, so they gave it to Xiliu and Lishu.

Xiliu sneered, "Not to mention that I have nothing to do with General Li. Why should I give you money? You hurt my mother first. You want to reconcile privately, but you are so open-minded. If you are so unreasonable, I will No matter how hard I fight for this reputation, I will prosecute you to the end."

Xiliu understood that now that she had broken up with each other, she could not win the kindness of her husband's family by submitting to compromise. Only by being strong could they prevent their mother and daughter from being bullied at will.

The elders in the clan did not want the family matter to go to court and affect the clan's reputation, so they acted as peacemakers and asked Xiliu's in-laws to compensate her mother a sum of money. As for the reconciliation, her in-laws never let go.

Xiliu was indeed attracted to working in a workshop. With a stable source of income, she could support her daughter, but she also understood that it was almost impossible to get divorced.

Moreover, because my mother was injured, her two sisters-in-law also had objections to her, so they had no choice but to agree to the clan's solution.

But thinking about the true colors of her husband's family these days, she felt uneasy and thought that she would have to find a chance to take her daughter to find a job elsewhere to survive.

King Xiao encouraged the widow to remarry, but could not force the widow to remarry. After Ning Ning informed Xie Jiu about Xiliu's situation, Xie Jiu was silent and told the people in Jiuxiao Pavilion to keep an eye on them and not let anything happen to Xiliu and her daughter.

At the same time, another person informed Li Dayong about this.

It is difficult for a woman in this world. After the death of her husband, she can only rely on her husband's family to live. If she is not careful, she will be known as unfilial and be drowned in the world's saliva. Xiliu can sue her husband's family for her own mother. Li Dayong thinks she is a bit brave. .

At the same time, I felt that Granny Xiliu's family was really hateful, and I was afraid that their mother and daughter's life would be even more difficult in the future, so I thought about going over there at night to take a look.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived near Xiliu's house, he saw two sneaky men, each carrying a sack. Out of a soldier's instinct, he followed them.

After listening to their words, Li Dayong realized that the sack contained Xiliu's mother and daughter, and the two men were Xiliu's father-in-law and eldest brother.

When he wanted to take action, he was stopped by Wuwei's appearance.

Expecting that Xiliu's mother-in-law would not regret and give up, Xie Jiu asked people to keep a close eye on her. The people from Jiuxiao Pavilion found out that Xiliu's mother-in-law had contact with Yazi, so they sent the news back.

Xie Jiu asked Wuwei to come over in person. When Xiliu's mother-in-law's house drugged their mother and daughter, Wuwei's people went to report to the official.

When her father-in-law and eldest brother met Yazi and handed over money and people, the officials appeared.
