Chapter 297
This woman is too cunning, bringing up her own mother, how can she ignore the suffering her mother has endured. Huang Zhongchang complained in his heart, refutation puts her mother in a very different position, if he doesn't refute it, he can only acquiesce.
"I..." Huang Zhongchang hesitated for a moment, then said honestly, "I saw it with my own eyes." He stared at her intently and said, "Why do you insist on giving land to women as well?"
"I don't want girls to be drowned when they are born." Shen Hui'e said to him with cold eyes.
"How could it be?" Li Nu covered his mouth and exclaimed.
"Why?" Da Chong asked, holding his sister's hand tightly.
"Because I feel that giving birth to a girl is a waste of money, and a woman who is married off is like water spilled." Shen Hui'e said to them with her ink-black eyes.
"Can this be avoided if there is land?" Huang Zhongchang asked, looking her up and down in confusion.
"The desire for land will make them show mercy." Shen Hui'e said helplessly, clenching her fists.
"But this also involves getting married?" Huang Zhongchang reminded her, "What about the land?"
"Marry your daughter, get a wife! With people coming in and out, this land won't change much." Shen Hui'e said to him with her eyes as gentle as jade.
"If it were like you four brothers in our family, you would have taken them all." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with a smile.
"The next generation, the next generation, Zhaoye and his family have many girls." Huang Zhongchang said deliberately.
"You're just trying to argue, aren't you?" Shen Hui'e looked at him unhappily.
"No, no, I'm telling the truth." Huang Zhongchang said cautiously.
"Then just give birth to more sons, okay!" Shen Hui'e said sarcastically.
"Will they agree to this?" Huang Zhongchang said to her, suppressing the playful smile on his face.
"Why don't you agree? The family's land has increased. Isn't this a good thing?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with gentle eyes and said.
"What if a woman gets married and her family withholds the land? What will you do?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her seriously and said, "How can you make a woman quarrel with her family? It will really cause unrest in the family. This is a reality that must be faced."
"Don't you say that a married woman is like water spilled?" Shen Hui'e said unhappily.
"You really don't want a woman to have her natal family. This is too much. If a woman is bullied by her husband's family, will her natal family care?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with deep and dark eyes and said, "You said it yourself, don't take it for granted."
Shen Hui'e was so annoyed by him that she opened and closed her mouth, "Where is the law?"
"How dare you think that? The law stipulates that I have never been to the government office since I was a child." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with a cold gaze and said, "Mother, you have never known which direction the government office gate faces since you were a child." He pursed his lips and said, "Family disgrace should not be made public. You really let the girl go to court with her parents! If they put a hat of unfilial piety on her, they will not let the girl live. They can just find a rope to hang herself on the beam of the house."
Huang Zhongchang looked at her tenderly and said, "Not all women are as capable as you. Most of them depend on their families and their husband's family after they get married." He said seriously, "Sometimes it's not what you want, but what they want." Suddenly he remembered, "I remember you put chickens in the field before planting winter wheat last year. No matter how far they ran, they came back as soon as our daughter called them. Women are the same. They can't run away and can't really get away."
Shen Hui'e could naturally hear the hidden meaning in his words. They were bound by rules and regulations, and if they were suddenly given freedom one day, they would be terrified.
"Bang..." Shen Hui'e's forehead hit the wooden table in front of her.
"Hey, hey! You can't be like this!" Huang Zhongchang looked at her worriedly and said, "It doesn't hurt!" He asked with concern, "Is it really that serious?"
"You are a man who is as precious as a pearl, but girls are rarely valued from the moment they are born." Shen Hui'e raised her head and looked at him unhappily.
"I don't have any! I treasure both our Big Tiger and our Cat." Huang Zhongchang said immediately after hearing this.
"I'm talking about most families. It's rare to be able to treat everyone equally." Shen Hui'e snorted, fully expressing her dissatisfaction.
Never mind, it's better to let it out than to hold it in, Huang Zhongchang complained in his heart.
"Why do you want to give land to women?" Huang Zhongchang asked curiously, "I want to keep more girls."
"Money is a person's courage!" Shen Hui'e said bluntly, "Money can determine one's status in the family."
"Yes!" Da Chong nodded vigorously after hearing this. "Since A Niang started her butchering business, it was A Niang who guided my uncle and his family in their business. When my grandmother ran into difficulties in her tofu workshop, my uncle and his aunts would consult A Niang."
"Besides my mother's ability! She has the ability to turn stone into gold, which convinces my uncle and the eldest uncle." Li Nu said to his mother with stars in his eyes.
"Yes! Yes! Your mother is capable." Huang Zhongchang said insincerely. It was really a good way to win people's hearts.
"What if I insist on allocating land to women?" Shen Hui'e looked at him firmly and said.
"What about the problems that arise after the land is divided? You won't think of making a fuss about the law, will you?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her nervously and said.
"I won't take such big steps!" Shen Hui'e shook her head slightly when she heard that.
"If you don't follow the law, women can easily suffer losses." Huang Zhongchang kindly reminded her.
"First of all, if you want to have a chance to survive, you have to stand up on your own initiative. Otherwise, no matter how much I say, it will be useless." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "If you are given an opportunity, you have to seize it. If you can't seize it, it will be useless."
"It's better to rely on yourself than on others!" Huang Zhongchang said as he looked at her with his deep dark eyes.
"Yes! I don't want people to blame me for meddling in other people's business." Shen Hui'e said to him with raised eyebrows.
"Aren't you afraid of family disgrace?" Huang Zhongchang reminded her.
"No matter what, there are parents who are worse than beasts. Could it be that they will treat their daughter well before dividing the land?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her inky black eyes and said, "Parents should be happy to be given an extra piece of land."
"You?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her hesitantly.
"I'll ask the soldiers what they think about this matter later?" Shen Hui'e said to him with her bright eyes.
"They will definitely listen to you and obey you in everything." Huang Zhongchang snorted.
"Then you can ask people in the city to see if women are happy to have land distributed to them?" Shen Hui'e stared at him with eyes as black as black jade, "There's plenty of land anyway. Look at the land deeds of the wealthy merchants. They all have thousands or tens of thousands of acres of good farmland." She looked at him with sharp eyes and said, "If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it with grass! Women who have been given land will be more motivated to work in the fields."
"That's right, that's right. It's different when you work for yourself." Da Chong nodded vigorously when he heard that.
"Since you insist, I'll ask." Huang Zhongchang said as a concession under her resolute gaze.
"Horse, our horse is much better now." The big insect looked at them with bright eyes and said, "It has grown fatter and stronger, and its eyes are brighter."
"Don't you see what you're feeding them?" Huang Zhongchang said with some pain in his heart, "They're feeding them grain, how can they not grow well?"
"The horse's coat is shiny and smooth now, and it's more energetic." The raccoon said with a smile, "It looks happy when it sees us. It's not as listless as when we first met it."
"They feed them bean dregs, wheat bran, and grass, not all grain." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her shiny black eyes and said, "Explain it clearly!"
Huang Zhongchang said shyly, "Tofu, tofu pudding, very delicious."
"You can eat without worry this time." The tiger said while slurping his saliva.
"I don't know if there are enough soybeans." said the cat slave worriedly.
"It's okay. Next year? It should be this year. We can plant more soybeans." The big insect said to them with a smile.
"Have you ridden horses?" Huang Zhongchang said to his children with a loving look.
"It's okay to ride slowly, but I don't dare to run, for fear of being thrown off." The big tiger looked at them frustratedly and said.
"Dad, aren't you afraid of the Hun cavalry?" Li Nu looked at him with innocent eyes.
"Don't ask me about that. I've never seen the Xiongnu." Huang Zhongchang shook his head slightly and said, "Maybe he learned it since he was a child. Practice makes perfect! You've only been in contact with horses for a few days!"
"What about the government army's cavalry? Are they good at riding?" Li Nu asked, looking at him curiously.
"It must be the result of hard work!" Huang Zhongchang thought for a moment and said to them with his dark eyes.
"Yes! You have only been riding for a few days, take your time." Shen Hui'e said with amusement as she looked at them anxiously.
"No! There isn't much time left." The big insect said, looking at them with his black eyes.
"There's nothing we can do about it. You can't become fat in one bite." Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes.
"It would be great if you could tie me to the horse's back." The big tiger blinked his round eyes and looked at her.
"Everyone has thought of the method you mentioned. If it was not adopted, you must not be suitable." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Think about it again."
"Is there glue on the Huns' butts? It's stuck on the horses' backs." The tiger said to them with innocent eyes.
"Maybe!" Huang Zhongchang joked when he heard it.
"Father, I was joking!" Da Chong said embarrassedly with a red face.
"I know!" Huang Zhongchang looked at him tenderly and said, "He is a really good rider. This is an indisputable fact."
"Aren't they afraid of falling?" The raccoon slave looked at them with his bright eyes and said, "They still haven't fallen."
"How is that possible?" Huang Zhongchang chuckled and shook his head, "I've lost count of the number of times I've fallen."
"It's getting late." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "It's just like learning to swim. Who hasn't choked?"
"Yes, yes, yes. They have all been choked before." Huang Zhongchang said with a chuckle, "They are also tough."
"Aren't you afraid it might break?" the big tiger said, looking at them with his black eyes.
