How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Seeing that his wife was completely silent, Chen Yixuan suddenly changed the subject and said, "Daughter-in-law, I plan to marry our eldest son a wife during this period of time."

As soon as he said this, Chen Feiyan was surprised.

She widened her eyes and asked, "Should we find him a wife this year? Is it too early? Have you found a suitable daughter-in-law?"

Chen Yixuan shook his head, sighed softly, and then explained slowly: "Daughter-in-law, even if our ancestors were nobles, in our generation, it will be difficult for future generations to find a wife!"

"Our place has favored boys over girls since ancient times, and there are a lot of bachelors. I once observed it, and then I saw some clues."

"If a man at the bottom wants to avoid being single in his life and successfully find a wife, there are generally only four ways."

Chen Feiyan frowned and asked curiously: "What four types?"

"This first and most common type is called transactional marriage. For example, a pretty girl with a lot of money as a bride price. Parents who have some ideas will send their girls to wealthy families, and she will be a concubine in a wealthy family. It is better to be a maid than to marry a poor person from the lower class. After all, once the poor have no food to eat, they will usually pawn their wives to others. I once saw a man standing on the street in the county seat, stripping off his wife's clothes and selling them on the street of."

When Chen Feiyan heard this, she was stunned. His mouth opened, but finally he couldn't speak.

Chen Yixuan saw that she seemed to be frightened by him, so he quickly patted her on the back. Then he comforted her and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't be afraid. There are five out of ten men like that. Not everyone is like that."

After saying this, Chen Yixuan continued the topic just now.

"In our area, the average family simply cannot afford the betrothal money for a young, beautiful and yellow-flowered girl. Therefore, they will focus on the widows of dead men. The second and third marriages, and even those with children, They are all particularly in demand. In our area, those who marry widows are called "widow snatchers"! Only those who are willing to spend money and start quickly enough will be lucky enough to marry a big widow who can also have children."

After Chen Feiyan heard this, she couldn't help but said: "My father, do you want our son to marry a widow?"

Chen Yixuan looked at her face carefully and saw that she was just surprised, not repulsive, so he nodded slightly, and then shook his head.

"Daughter-in-law, widows are rare. Now that the weather is good and the world is at peace, we have not seen the widow of a dead man for a long time in our eight villages..."

After hearing this, Chen Feiyan quickly asked: "Didn't you just say that there are four ways to find a wife? This is one way to find a widow. What are the next ones?"

Chen Yixuan did not show off and said directly: "The second type is bridal marriage. A marriage like that of my eldest brother is a very typical bridal marriage."

"However, generally those who are reluctant to let their daughters marry outside their families usually come from well-established families. This kind of family usually looks for someone who is talented, capable, has a good personality, and can take on the work. Many people say that marrying into a wife is a good choice. Most of the men are poor people whose families are poor and unable to marry a wife. However, according to my observation, not everyone can be a son-in-law."

Chen Feiyan had no intention of letting her son become someone else's son-in-law. She also knew very well that if her sons wanted to be other people's sons-in-law, they might not want them. Therefore, she quickly asked Chen Yixuan about the other two ways for low-class men to get their wives.

"Mr. sir, what are the other two ways for men at the bottom to get a wife?" Chen Yixuan smiled softly and said: "The other two methods are actually more common. One of them is stepmarriage. This last one is a kiss exchange."

"A place like ours is relatively close to the northern grasslands. Our place is just like those places. Once the men of some families are gone, their wives marry their brothers. However, our place with a radius of hundreds of In nearly half of the families, especially those with many brothers, they usually marry one wife together. Originally, all the brothers’ wives were married, but if one of the brothers dies, the woman is still their wife.”

"As for marriage exchange, it's more common here. Those who have sisters can exchange for each other. Those who don't have sisters can exchange for their wives. Even those with wives who want something new will exchange for each other. Like in our village That Peng Xiaobing, his mother and wife were hanged in his kitchen house last year, and he didn't trade them for others every two days."

Chen Feiyan suddenly heard these things, and for some reason, she felt a fire burning in her heart.

Who are these people in the world?

Is there any courtesy, justice or shame? Do you know what ethics is?

It’s so difficult to get a wife, but after you have a wife, why don’t you know how to cherish her? Can't we live a good life together?

Why do you insist on selling them back and forth?

It was only now that Chen Feiyan realized how lucky she was to have traveled through time and became the wife of the man in front of her, and to still have such a golden finger on her hand.

Thinking of the novels she had read, many people said "I would rather be a poor man's wife than a hero's concubine", and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Being the wife of a poor person doesn't seem to be a good thing.

Moreover, some people always say that it is better to be the wife of an emperor than to marry a commoner. Because she married a commoner, she lived with dignity. This is not being a mistress.

Some people even say that marrying an emperor as a concubine, as long as you are not a queen, is essentially a mistress. All children born are concubines. How can a child born from a concubine be as dignified as a child born from a lower-class family?

Chen Feiyan felt that she was the legitimate wife after marrying a declining nobleman like Chen Yixuan. She didn't seem to feel that she lived with much dignity.

All the children she gave birth to were legitimate children, and they didn't seem to be very noble.

Like all the people at the bottom here, how can the money they earn in this life compare to what those wealthy families earn in a day?

The ancients often said that there are seven grades of officials in front of the prime minister.

The gatekeepers who work for the Prime Minister have the status of seventh-rank officials in the eyes of the world. Chen Feiyan still doesn't believe it, but others dare to ignore the Prime Minister's wives and concubines and concubines, shouting and killing them, and even The concubines were given drugs and alcohol and sold to brothels.

Even if she was the prime minister's wife, she would not be able to care so little about human life.

Just when Chen Feiyan was distracted, Chen Yixuan quietly held her hand: "Daughter-in-law, our family has a bumper harvest this year. I plan to give 500 kilograms of sorghum rice as a betrothal gift to our eldest son."

When Chen Feiyan heard this, she asked directly: "Did someone come to you and say that they want to introduce a wife to our eldest son?"

"Whose family does she belong to? How old is she? Where is she from?"
