Chapter 370

A widow is a woman whose husband has died.

"The Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Datian" states: "He has inheritance, this has stagnant fringe, the benefit of Yi widow."

In ancient times, widows were divided into seven categories: Wangmen widows, umbrella widows, mandarin duck widows, broken bridge widows, remnant flower widows, abandoned widows, and divorced widows.

The widowed family member pointed out that the woman had found her in-law's house but before she could get through the door, the man died unfortunately.

Widow under the umbrella refers to a woman who has no children after getting married, and her husband dies.

Mandarin duck widowed refers to a woman who gave birth to children after getting married, and then her husband died.

Broken bridge widow refers to the sudden accidental death of the husband after the woman got married.

Widowed Flowers refers to a woman who is between 40 and 50 years old and her husband dies.

Abandoned and widowed, refers to a woman whose husband is not dead, but his whereabouts are unknown after going out, and he has never returned home, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead.

Divorced widow refers to a woman who divorces her husband, or is divorced by her husband's family.

In the old days, men were superior to women, and widows were even more discriminated against by society.After the woman's husband died, she was scolded as Kefu's broom star, and she had to stay a widow for a lifetime, that was the only way to be loyal and chaste.Otherwise, it is a whore and a slut, and it is immoral.

Tang Qing belongs to the mandarin duck widow. In the old days, if the mandarin duck widow wanted to remarry, it was very difficult, and he had to pass a series of checkpoints.

First of all, the consent of the husband's parents and brothers must be obtained, and then the consent of his own parents and brothers must be obtained. As long as one party objects, remarriage is not allowed.

After the family members of both parties agree, according to the old custom of Shan City, the woman goes to the grave of her dead husband to worship at midnight seven days before her marriage, and then builds a straw shed in front of the grave for seven days and seven nights to comfort the soul of her ex-husband and ask for his forgiveness.

In the middle of the night on the seventh day, the current husband secretly picked her up and then started a new life.If someone blocked her on the way, everything would be ruined and she could only continue to be a widow.

The society is developing, the times are advancing, and now those stereotypes and bad habits of the past have long been broken. Not only is the word widow rarely mentioned, but remarriage is a common phenomenon.

Tang Qing has just passed his thirties, he is healthy physically and mentally, and naturally longs for a new happiness.But she was afraid, and she didn't dare to take that step, and she didn't even dare to think about it. She felt ashamed and ashamed to have a similar dream.

Tang Qing can ignore the worldly eyes, and she doesn't care too much, but she has to care about the opinions of both parents, especially Xiaoqiang's feelings, she must put it first.

Police officer Xiao Wang was interested in her, and she also had the same affection.

Although Tang Qing was a little timid at first and wanted to refuse.But ever since Policeman Xiao Wang came to her hut alone because of the big bag of banknotes, and made a joke by accident, Xiaoqiang didn't have any dislike. Instead, he liked Policeman Xiaowang very much.

When policeman Xiao Wang and Director Liu went to the Tang family courtyard for dinner, Tang Qing's heart fluttered even more violently, and he tried to test him with words intentionally or unintentionally, and at the same time tested his parents and father-in-law.

What disappointed Tang Qing was that her parents and father-in-law didn't respond, pretending that they didn't understand anything, and that they didn't understand anything, which made her more uncomfortable than scolding her directly in person.

The courage that Tang Qing finally mustered up blew thousands of miles, and the love in his heart was lost, not to mention that he felt sorry for himself.

Tonight, when Wang Xinjie mentioned this matter, can Tang Qing not be heartbroken?

"Master Jiujin, maybe Xiaoqiang's grandparents and grandpa Xiaoqiang are embarrassed to express it? I want to wait for you and the policeman Xiaowang to tell them face to face."

"Xinjie, I've thought about this too. Later, I tried to test the three old people many times, and I also asked Xiaoqiang to mention it in front of them intentionally or unintentionally, but they just pretended to be deaf and dumb, and didn't make any statement."

"What are the three old men thinking? Master Jiujin, don't pay too much attention to their attitudes, you should decide your own happiness!"

"Xinjie, I'm the one who decides? Can I make the decision? Now I have three elders and one younger. I can't stand any twists and turns, and I can't make a mistake."

"Master Jiujin, why is this a toss? This is your normal pursuit of happiness. Why don't you go privately with the Xiaowang police to get the certificate and see if they have anything else to say?"

"Xinjie, are you young people dating? I'm a widow and remarrying. How easy is it?"

"Master Jiujin, I said from the beginning that you are too cautious in doing this, you should show your demeanor as Master Jiujin, and pursue your own happiness no matter what!"

"Xinjie, do you still remember what happened at my house last year before you went to college?"

"Master Jiujin, is it your mother-in-law's business?"

"Yeah, do you think I can pursue my own happiness regardless? Do I need to be careful?"

"Master Jiujin, this is too difficult for you."

"No way, I can only blame fate!"

"Master Jiujin, how about I go talk to the three old men?"

"No, absolutely not. It might be counterproductive, and it will be counterproductive, forcing them to take extreme actions."

"Master Jiujin, are you worried that the three old people will also take extreme actions like Grandma Xiaoqiang?"

"Xinjie, in addition to wishing the next generation a good life, the old people value their face the most. Needless to say, Xiaoqiang's grandparents, my parents can affect the Tang family's well-being in Yancheng because of me. Fame? Actually, I don’t even want to.”

"Master Jiujin, is fame more important than your own happiness?"

"Xinjie, without a good reputation, how can we talk about happiness? The reason why I can hold my head high in front of my neighbors and be a good guy and peacemaker with confidence is precisely because of the good reputation my grandfather built up in Shan City. The neighbors in the neighborhood will also admire me."

"Oh, but you are still young, you should strive for your own happiness."

"Xinjie, I've thought about it over the past few days, especially just now when I was alone looking at the sky full of stars, I have completely figured it out."

"Master Jiujin, what have you figured out?"

"Xinjie, if I lose a small piece of personal happiness, I can preserve the good reputation of the Tang family, let the three old people spend their old age happily and peacefully, and let Xiaoqiang grow up healthy and healthy, why not? "

"Master Jiujin, isn't Xiaoqiang acceptable?"

"Xinjie, Xiaoqiang is a smart and sensible child. He accepts the policeman Xiaowang as a relative, not as a stepfather."

"A stepfather is a relative, a closer relative."

"That's not necessarily true. How many children have been harmed by their stepfathers and stepmothers, causing them to lose their physical and mental health."

"Police Xiaowang will definitely treat Xiaoqiang well and will not let him suffer any harm."

"I believe this, but things are not as simple as you think. Do you think, if I am really with Policeman Xiao Wang, should I have another child? If I do, the balance of Policeman Xiaowang's love will definitely tilt. , There will definitely be an imbalance in Xiaoqiang's heart. No, I'm sorry for Police Xiaowang, after all, it's his first time getting married, and I will feel indebted to him for the rest of my life."

"Master Jiujin, are you thinking too much? There's no need to think so much, right?"

"Xinjie, I have to think so much, otherwise when things are done and something happens, I will be the one who wants to cry but has no tears."

"Master Jiujin, then you give up your happiness like this?"

"Xinjie, am I not happy now? Xiaoqiang is smart and cute, my parents and father-in-law are in good health, living together in harmony and beauty, I think I am very happy."

"Master Jiujin, you have avoided reality."

"Xinjie, sometimes it's better not to expect too much when a person is alone, contentment and happiness."

"Master Jiujin, I feel sorry for you."

"Xinjie, you should be happy for me, I really have completely let go now."

"Master Jiujin, weren't you still heartbroken and crying just now?"

"Xinjie, after crying, she suddenly became enlightened, and she talked to the moon and stars, just like the night sky now, so clear and refreshing, how beautiful it is!"

The conversation between Tang Qing and Wang Xinjie once again made a person outside the gate of Li's old house extremely sad.

This person first sat on the threshold of the Li family's old house and wiped his tears, then jumped up and ran around the Li family's old house frantically.

Run and run, I don't know how many laps I ran.Until the first dawn, I planted my head on the grass and fell into a deep sleep...
