The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 276 Seventh Sister's Darkness

Some people are happy to pursue new things, while others reject change.

Some people are used to their life without change and are afraid of new adventures. Some people like to travel and go to strange places to accept new habits.

Then at a higher level, it can be called conservative, radical, backward, advanced, prudent, or frivolous.

According to Wang Li, the chief officer of the Procuratorate.

His local power is greater than that of Western justices.

But rights are also made up of people.

When facing the same enemy, his decrees cannot be executed after they are issued. This process requires continuous competition.

Starting from one matter to trigger a discussion became his breakthrough point.

This incident can be specially selected by him, or even provoked, or he can rely on what happened in society.

Qimei's salary is higher than that of ordinary workers.

How much money does she have? Most people don't think about it, but some people have calculated it, and the more they say it, the more outrageous it is.

"Your daughter-in-law shows up in public and hangs out with men every day, tsk tsk, what a shame."

"A good lover has become a prostitute." More vicious words also came.

at last.

Another day.

A dozen people armed with farming tools broke into the theater and dragged Seventh Sister in public. A donkey cart was prepared at the door.

They dragged Seventh Sister, who was weeping bitterly and her face turned pale, onto the donkey cart all the way, and tied her to the donkey cart with hemp rope.

Seventh Sister felt that her sky was falling.

On the street, in the surprised eyes of countless people, she saw despair and wished to die, but she couldn't do anything.

An old woman, sitting steadily on the scooter, slapped Seventh Sister angrily.

"What are you doing?"

"Why do you kidnap and beat people in public?"

The well-meaning passers-by couldn't stand it anymore, they came up to scold and stop him, but they were blocked fiercely by a group of young people.

"This is my daughter-in-law, who hangs out with men, shames her face, and tarnishes the family tradition. What do you know?" the old woman shouted.

It is full of enthusiasm than young people.

It turned out to be a family matter.

Although many people couldn't bear it, they still let go helplessly.

Even more people, because of the old woman's words, showed contempt for the helpless woman on the trailer.

"It deserves it, grab it back and soak it in the pig cage."

"An immoral whore!"

at last.

The staff of the Grand Theater who were caught off guard rushed out one after another, and there were two people with bruised noses and faces full of anger.

"You dare to make trouble in the Grand Theater, is there any law for you!"

"Let go."

The two groups clashed.

The group of people who came from other places, they think they are right, they don't understand the law, but they dare to beat people to death.

The staff of the Peking Grand Theater knew they were right, but because they were civilized, they couldn't beat barbarism.

So even if there are more staff members in the Peking Grand Theater, they can't beat the group in front of them.

The seventh sister of the Peking Grand Theater was kidnapped by her husband's family.

This big news, whether it is dramatic or disseminated, spread all over Beiping in the first place.

The Peking Grand Theater immediately chose to report to the official.

The government did indeed tick off the sign, asking the police to rescue the person first, but the matter is far from being as simple as it seems.

Seventh Sister is still a daughter-in-law who does not belong to others.

Is Seventh Sister a Minority or a Le nationality?
After the inspection by the government, Seventh Sister is a citizen, not a Le. As for whether she is a daughter-in-law of someone else's family, because there is no divorce certificate, she does belong.

Upright officials can hardly break housework.

This matter is justified by the public, and it is reasonable by the mother-in-law.

The most important thing is the social atmosphere.

Did widows remarry in the early Ming Dynasty?

some.

Parents and uncles and other relatives demand that women remarry.

If the family is poor, after the death of the husband, the widow drags the children and takes care of the daughters, the family is destitute, and there is no way to make a living. It is understandable how to follow the advice of family members and relatives to remarry.

The husband's family asked the widow to remarry.

It may be because the husband's family is relatively poor and cannot afford to support the daughter-in-law.

It is more because the daughter-in-law is relatively young and has no children. The parents-in-law pity her for being a widow and advise or ask the widow to remarry.

In order to compete for the family property left by his dead husband, family members asked the widow to remarry.At that time, women who were unwilling to remarry and had no heirs usually adopted a son to inherit their husband's property.

Parents are greedy for money and try to use the widow to remarry to receive a dowry, and ask the widow to remarry or remarry.

The widow voluntarily asked to remarry and remarry.

……

The relationship between Seventh Sister and her natal family was at odds. Seventh Sister's wages were not handed over to her natal family, but her natal family was not a family that cared about her daughter.

In short.

This matter is not easy to handle.

The law is the law, and people are people, not to mention that the power of the government does not go to the countryside, and the clan elders govern in the countryside.

Sometimes government is better than clan autonomy.

Sometimes clan autonomy is better than government.

Which of the two is better depends on which side's moral level.

In some places the clans are very good, in some places the clans are very bad, in some places the officials are very good, in some places the officials are very bad.

This is a society ruled by man, where man decides everything.

Seventh Sister was locked in the firewood room and shed tears all day long.

Hungry and thirsty.

At the door of the firewood house, there were two young men from the village guarding, and one of them went in from time to time to insult and humiliate Seventh Sister.

Pushing and shouting, the range of motion is getting bigger and bigger.

"okay."

The other companions couldn't see it, so they scolded the man, and the man scolded unconvinced: "This kind of whore who doesn't abide by women's morals should be insulted and beaten to death."

"That has to wait for the clan to make a decision. What are you talking about?"

Seventh Sister collapsed to the ground.

Her eyes were numb.

It seems to have fallen from heaven to hell overnight, with no hope in sight.

She is a weak woman, what ability can she have against others.

Don't say it's her.

Even in later generations, there are still very few places where women's noses are cut off in order to punish their own women for disobedience.

This kind of thing happened in China in the 21st century.

The incident at the Peking Grand Theater attracted the attention of the upper echelons, and China Heavy Industries began to make efforts to get the government to support Qimei.

China Heavy Industry and the Beiping government are inextricably linked with the squires.

For example technical report.

Through the technical report, China Heavy Industry has established friendship with many gentry or officials, and this is only one aspect.

The Seventh Sister matter did not allow China Heavy Industry to mobilize its entire relationship network.

An ordinary manager of the research department personally came forward to work on the Seventh Sister's matter, and he was looking for connections around him.

Through several colleagues, I visited some officials and squires, and urged the government to send a mission to rescue Qimei as soon as possible.

The steward's actions gradually showed results.

The county magistrate of the county government has ordered the servants in the government office to go to the village to save people, first to save the people.

Tolerance grimaced.

This is different from tax collection. The attitude of the elders in the village can determine everything. If they disagree, their tolerance will not be able to convince the people.

Taxation is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The clan elders will not resist, because this is the red line reached by the village and the government, and the government will not back down on this matter.

But for other things, that's not necessarily the case.

He Kuan looked worried.

Beside him are not only a few servants, but also his good friend, a squire.

The squire was afraid that He Kuan would have an accident, so he followed with concern.

"After talking about this matter, I can only say that Seventh Sister's luck is not good, and she is not good at meeting people. If she were placed in an ordinary family, how could she be so bad? At least face is still important."

"This is when you meet a bad person, and you can't reason with a bad person."

He Kuan's face darkened.

He only wanted to save Seventh Sister, but he didn't even dare to think about the kind of dark days that Seventh Sister, who was dazzling on stage, is now living.

"So don't put too much hope in this rescue operation. People's positions are different, and you can't be reasonable."

A group of people came to the entrance of the village, but they couldn't even enter the village, and they wouldn't let them in.

The servants kept yelling and intimidating, but the young people in the village were not afraid at all, instead they surrounded them tit for tat.

"You can't be reasonable. How can there be such a bully?"

Regardless of his life, He Kuan came forward and shouted to the people.

The younger generation didn't care about He Kuan's words at all.

Although many people sympathized with Seventh Sister and also spoke in the clan, but before the clan made a decision, they naturally stood by the clan.

Tell the truth.

Even if the clan is wrong, they will follow suit.

In the end, the squire came forward, and he negotiated with several elders in the clan.

"The imperial court supports our village and makes the clansmen live in harmony, like a family, so that the clansmen can love each other."

"But we have to pay attention to our reputation. If this matter spreads, who will say that you did the right thing? Drive other widows to death."

The clan elder dissatisfied, "That woman is not from our clan, and she ruined the reputation of her husband's family."

"Hey, are you going to help relatives or not?"

The squire laughed angrily, "If you don't care about others, you also have to think about the reputation of your own people. Seventh sister's husband's family is not aware of things, but it doesn't mean that others are also aware of things."

"If the trouble continues, everyone will know about Seventh Sister's reputation. Who would dare to marry their daughter to you in the future?"

The people who know themselves best are always their own class.A few words from the squire made the clan elders hesitate.

After several confrontations.

Seventh Sister was finally released. On this day, the clan elders gathered the clan and invited local celebrities.

It was announced on the spot that this person has nothing to do with this place in the future.

He Kuan hired a carriage from the city at his own expense.

Seventh Sister in the carriage seemed to have lost her soul, and she no longer had any brilliance. The corners of He Kuan's mouth twitched, and all the words he said finally turned into a sigh.

He Kuan's actions naturally gained the full support of the Peking Grand Theater.

Because of the last fight, the Peking Grand Theater lost, leaving behind a group of "wounded", which made the Peking Grand Theater unable to start work.

He Kuan sent Qimei back to the Peking Grand Theater.

The people in the Grand Theater tried to enlighten Seventh Sister one after another, for fear that Seventh Sister would be overwhelmed.

He Kuan came to visit Seventh Sister every day, but he didn't dare to say too much. He was afraid that if he said it, Seventh Sister would misunderstand that he was taking advantage of others, and Seventh Sister thought he was forcing her.
