Chapter 3395 Tools for Carrying on the Family Line

"You came to me crying and begging me. I decreed that you should make peace, but you come to make trouble again. Why, are you playing house? Go back and make peace and leave!"

After Cheng Hanlin left the palace, he slapped himself twice.

It was all his own death.

He insisted on crying, thinking that the Queen could make the decision for him.

As a result, he was slapped hard in the face.

This is great. Half of the Cheng family's property is going to be taken away by that tigress. How can we live like this?

Cheng Hanlin ran to discuss the matter with several brothers, thinking about how to cover it up so that Xiao Xiu could just take away the dowry and get out of here.

Before they could reach any conclusion from their discussion, a female official was sent from the palace, saying she was here to help and supervise the reconciliation.

After all, this is an order issued by Her Majesty the Queen herself. If it cannot be done well, it will be a rebellion against the order.

Cheng Hanlin was desperate.

He knew that there was no room for change in this matter.

Her Majesty the Queen will not allow him to play any tricks.

Therefore, the fact that the Cheng family and his wife reconciled and divided the family property equally, instantly ignited the nerves of the people of Northern Qi and became the hottest topic on the streets.

The Cheng family has a great business and numerous properties and houses.

To achieve a complete equal division is an extremely cumbersome and almost impossible task.

But Yun Dai sent out more than a dozen female officials to keep an eye on this matter from beginning to end, forcing this woman's separation and divorce case to become a major event that attracted everyone's attention.

Young children don't understand this.

"Mother, why do you bother to look at such a trivial matter?"

"On the surface, it seems like it's just a small matter between the Cheng family and the couple, but in the long run, it's a big deal."

"How to say?"

"Let me tell you." Qian'er, who was sitting peeling bananas and eating them, said with a smile, "Think about it, what are the consequences of this woman getting divorced or being abandoned?"

"If you are divorced, your reputation will be ruined. If you divorce, it won't matter."

"Yes, a woman marries her husband's family, gives birth to children, serves her parents-in-law, and works hard without complaint. As a result, once she commits seven crimes, she will be kicked out and despised by thousands of people. Is this fair to women?"

The child said: "I know it's unfair. But this has been a habit for hundreds or thousands of years, and it is difficult to change."

"It's just that there's no one to do it. For thousands of years, women have been really miserable." Qian'er said, "In the eyes of most men, women are just giving birth to children and giving them tools to carry on the family line. Let alone concubines. The wife can be exchanged and bought and sold at will, even if she is a legal wife, she can divorce her as soon as she wants. Women are no worse than men, why should they accept such slavery? "

The child was stunned for a while after hearing this: "Sister, you are starting to sound more and more like my mother."

"Because mother is right."

"You go on."

"Speaking of the Cheng family, this is the first example of a woman being able to divide the family property after divorce. In the past, men used to manipulate women at will, because they had almost no losses. Even if they reconciled, the woman was allowed to leave with her dowry. . Now if you want to reconcile, you have to give up half of your family property. Will he still dare? With the example of the Cheng family in this matter, the people will soon follow. Slowly, the custom of Northern Qi will Change, and women’s status will become higher and higher.”

"So, does mother want to improve the status of women in Northern Qi?" The child looked at Yun Dai.

Yun Dai said: "I have wanted to do this since I was in the Great Zhou Dynasty. But, I am not qualified to be the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I cannot resist the imperial power."
