Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

The clan chief sighed as he listened, "The world is like this, what can we change? This is a huge matter. Let's convene a meeting of the clan elders and village elders to discuss it. If it can be approved, then we'll write it into the village rules."

Liu Jinsheng and Liu Fusheng went door-to-door to notify the village elders and clan elders to come to the ancestral hall for a meeting.

The village elders and clan leaders all thought something major had happened, making such a fuss. When they arrived, they saw the Liu clan chief sitting in the ancestral hall.

"You're all here, please have a seat!"

"What's going on today that's causing such a commotion? They won't tell us when we ask them."

"Sit down, all of you. Let Jin Sheng tell you what to do."

Everyone found a seat and sat down. Liu Jinsheng cleared his throat and said, "Clan chief, elders, and village elders, I have gathered you all here today because there is something I want to discuss with you."

This matter could be a big deal or a small deal; if not handled properly, it could cause serious trouble.

"Stop beating around the bush, get to the point. What is it?"

"Then I'll be frank. Last time when we had a meeting to divide the money, Dunzi raised the issue of divorcing his wife and remarrying if no son was born into the family."

What are everyone's thoughts on this?

"If a wife can't give birth to a son, she can't continue the family line. Isn't it normal for her to divorce her and remarry? What's there to discuss?"

"Although this matter was brought up by Dunzi alone, it also represents the opinion of some people. There should be twenty or thirty households in the village without sons, right? If we let everyone divorce their wives and remarry, what will our village become? Who will dare to marry their daughters into our village in the future?"

They dare say that only because they have a little money to spare. Seeing that they can get a share of the silver after burning charcoal, they get all sorts of ideas. Such thinking is unacceptable.

"They divorced her with just one sentence because she didn't give birth to a son. Do they even understand what a divorce decree means to a woman? It's tantamount to sentencing her to death."

No matter what the reason for divorcing your wife, in other people's eyes, a divorced woman is morally deficient, and who would dare to marry her?

Some strong-willed women, unable to bear the humiliation, committed suicide.

What kind of situation will they face if they are divorced and sent back to their parents' home?

If their family doesn't accept them, what can they do? The only way out is death.

"Don't always speak up for those women. It's their fault that they can't have sons, and they deserve to be divorced."

"If she can't produce a son and can't carry on the family line, what's the point of marrying her?"

……

Inside the ancestral hall, the elders were arguing heatedly, each refusing to concede. Some argued that a wife should not be divorced simply because she could not bear a son, while others believed that since she could not produce a son, it was only right for her to be divorced, as the law allowed it.

"Everyone, please be quiet. You won't get anything out of this noisy argument. We're here to solve problems, not to argue."

I've thought about this for a long time, but I haven't come up with a perfect solution. However, some people have offered a different perspective.

Everyone, listen to this, don't you think it makes a lot of sense?

Jin Sheng, tell everyone what happened.

Liu Jinsheng repeated what he had said in April, leaving everyone dumbfounded. They had never heard of such a thing before: that after a divorce, the husband's family would still build a house for the divorced woman and divide the family property. Wasn't this the most ridiculous thing ever?

This was clearly the idea of ​​a woman; she's always protecting women and demanding benefits for them.

"Jin Sheng, what kind of woman is talking such nonsense? Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? Her husband's family hasn't even given her a divorce decree. Considering they were husband and wife, they've already treated her fairly. How dare she still covet her husband's house and property? Who gave them the nerve?"

She also wants to take the child with her and make the child sever ties with her husband's family. Is this something a human being would say?

"Jin Sheng, tell me, who said that?" an elder said angrily.

"Elders, village elders, clan head, these are the words spoken in April. She said she didn't want anyone like her to appear in Liujia Village again."

Her husband's family didn't want her, and her own family wouldn't keep her. What way out did she have? Only death.

I think what April said makes a lot of sense: whether or not you can have a boy depends on the seed.

What kind of seed will grow into what kind of seedling?

We can't let a woman bear all this!

The clan elders and village elders who had been shouting so fiercely just moments before fell silent the moment they heard that Liu Siyue had spoken. They didn't want to offend that girl; offending her would do them no good at all, and their stance immediately changed.

"Hmm, I've thought about what April said carefully, and it does make some sense. I agree with April's statement."

The commendation activity she proposed was particularly excellent.

"We also agree with April's idea."

"Since everyone agrees, I will write this rule into the village regulations, and everyone in Liujia Village will follow it from now on."

Before that, we need to hold a village meeting to tell them our decision, to let them know that we understand their desire for a son, and at the same time, to let them know that they can take the child, but they cannot divorce their wives; they can only get a divorce.

From then on, in our Liu Family Village, there were only women who divorced, and no women who were abandoned.

"This matter is very important. We must hold a large meeting to explain it clearly to everyone, so that those who have been considering this idea will think twice."

"Since none of the elders and village leaders here have any objections, let's adjourn the meeting. I'll call this meeting today to discuss this matter."

"Master, I'm back!"

"Did Uncle and the others sell all their medicine?"

"They've all sold them. Grandpa and his family are really capable. They made over 130 taels this time, which is enough for them to build their house."

My great-uncle and his family went straight back from town. They asked me to tell you to remember to attend the wedding banquet on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month.

"Master, another incident has occurred in the county town. Guo Changfeng's wife and steward have been murdered. The county magistrate simply said that he was apprehending the murderer and dismissed the case lightly."

Some say they were killed by the newcomer, others say they were killed by their enemies.

The killer just can't be found.

"This case may be the responsibility of the county magistrate or the county assistant magistrate. Aren't they always investigating the missing items?"

They haven't found them yet, and they might have tried to get clues from Guo Changfeng's wife, but got nothing. It's possible they argued, and in a fit of rage, he killed them—all of these are possibilities.

"Master, Qingye, let me tell you that Su Yimin has been accumulating wealth on a large scale recently."

"Yes, I know."

The next day, after breakfast, the village gong sounded. The villagers were excited whenever they heard the gong, and before long, everyone who was at home gathered under the big willow tree.

This time, the clan elders, village elders, group leaders, and village chiefs all sat in the front. "Dunzi, regarding what you said last time about your wife not giving birth to a son and wanting to divorce her and remarry, after discussion among all the clan elders, village elders, and the clan chief, a solution has been devised, and everything is fine."

Everyone else should listen carefully; this isn't just for Dunzi, but for everyone in Liujia Village.

Everyone looked at the village chief with hopeful eyes, and the women were especially eyeing him with predatory intent, their sharp eyes fixed on him as if they could tear him apart if he said the wrong thing.

The village chief avoided eye contact with those pairs of eyes, organized his thoughts, and then repeated Liu Siyue's explanation, adding his own perspective.
