Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 124 Cutting Constantly, Reasoning Still Disordered (4)
Grandma Zhang might as well, Li Xiaocui treats her well on the surface, but secretly always speaks bad things about her in front of her mother-in-law, saying that she is jealous, doesn't want her mother-in-law to marry her husband a flat wife, and even framed her for having an affair with a widower in the village. affair.

Grandma Zhang's mother-in-law is also soft-hearted. Although she thinks that Grandma Zhang is a filial and willing daughter-in-law, she can't give birth to a son after all, and this shameful thing has been spread. Grandma Zhang is coming down!

Grandma Zhang's various explanations could not change her mother-in-law's determination at all, so she could only put her hope on her husband, but at this moment, it was reported that Li Xiaocui was pregnant, and her mother-in-law was even more determined to divorce her.

It turned out that the child Li Xiaocui was pregnant with was actually her husband's. She gave up all hope and agreed to leave, but she was only willing to reconcile and leave without taking the divorce papers.

The Gang family had no choice, because at that time, Grandma Zhang's only relative had passed away. According to the law, "whatever you marry, you will never return to", and "you will be mourned for three years". And the wife who has kept filial piety for her husband's family, unless she voluntarily!
At this time, Li Xiaocui jumped out and said that she must give a divorce letter, otherwise, she would not even be able to take away her dowry!

At this time, Grandma Zhang had lost everything. Although her husband treated her well, she couldn't hold back her own mother. In the end, she wanted to divorce her wife. After listening to Li Xiaocui's instigation, she was only willing to give her a divorce letter.

In desperation, Grandma Zhang became ruthless and threatened the Gang family that if she did not reconcile and return her dowry, she would rather die than let everyone know that Li Xiaocui is not a woman and that the Gang family is ruthless.

In order to hide their ugliness, the Gang family had no choice but to agree to reconcile and leave, and returned the dowry to her.

When Zhang Xiaocao heard about grandma's past, only bursts of sadness remained in her heart. This is the reality of this era!Without children, a woman is nothing in her husband's family and can be abandoned at will. Some even have their own dowry squeezed out, and then they are swept out. At that time, their natal family will not take them in, so they can only wait in despair to die slowly !
Even if there are children, so what, in this era of "receiving three buckets of rice and wanting to take concubines", the status of men and women is extremely unequal, and women are doomed to be the weak side. At home, they depend on their father and brother. The interests of the people are not guaranteed at all!
It is in the modern age where equality between men and women is advocated. As long as some men have a little money, they want to raise mistresses outside, and even abandon their wives who are in trouble with them for the sake of their young and beautiful lovers, and they will never look back.

And in this feudal society, the shackles imposed on women are even heavier, making it difficult for them to be financially independent. In this way, everything depends on the husband's family, and what is the equality of husband and wife?Even the equality of husband and wife cannot be maintained. In the future, with the intervention of mistresses, mistresses, and in-laws, she may be run out by mistresses, her husband will dislike her, her in-laws will be dissatisfied, and finally she will be divorced!
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaocao felt an overwhelming panic from the depths of her heart!Panic about the future, panic about this world, panic about future married life!
Grandma Zhang sensed that something was wrong with her granddaughter, and quickly asked, "Xiaocao, what's wrong with you? Xiaocao?"

Zhang Xiaocao came back to her senses suddenly, and seeing her grandma whose hair had already turned gray, she couldn't help asking eagerly, "Grandma, do you regret it? Do you resent it?"

Regret marrying that incompetent and ruthless man?

Grandma Zhang was stunned, sighed with regret, and said lightly: "What's the use of regretting? It's fate! Grandma can't have children. It's all my fault for not living up to expectations. Who can I blame?"

Zhang Xiaocao was silent. It's not that grandma didn't complain, but she put all the complaints on herself. This is the sorrow of women in this era!

Once abandoned, how can a helpless woman bear the double torture of body and mind?Grandma can do this, relying on her own hands to survive the lonely more than 20 years, it is already amazing!
One day she will grow up and marry an unfamiliar ancient man. At that time, what should she do?Even if she married an honest and honest farmer, she could manage it, but when a woman marries, she does not marry a person, but a family.

In this era where filial piety is the most important thing, "parents are not separated". When the whole family is together, there will always be conflicts. She is confident that before she gets married, she can let grandma and Mu Hua live a good life that everyone envies , if the other party's family background is average, can they still coexist peacefully under the circumstances of unequal economic status?

What about recruiting a son-in-law?This is possible, but... it is also difficult!To be someone else's son-in-law is either from a poor family with many brothers and sisters who cannot marry a daughter-in-law, or has lost his father since childhood, and no one can help him manage his life. These two kinds of people are not necessarily reliable!
Well, you can choose not to marry, but I don't know if grandma will chase after her with a stick!
"Grandma, is it okay for Xiaocao not to marry when she grows up?"

Zhang Xiaocao acted like a baby by rubbing her grandma's arm.

When Grandma Zhang heard this, she nodded her forehead and laughed and scolded, "Don't be ashamed, you are a big girl who can say this? I don't know how to make people laugh if it gets out!"

"Hey, isn't this just telling grandma, grandma will let her granddaughter go out to embarrass her? Grandma, I don't want to marry, will I stay with grandma until I grow old?"

Zhang Xiaocao asked seriously, without a trace of falsehood in her words.

This time, Grandma Zhang realized that her granddaughter was telling the truth!
"You can't have such an idea. As a woman, how can you not marry? If you don't marry, it's still light for outsiders to make irresponsible remarks. If you are targeted by some dubious bastards, it will be over!"

"Then what's the matter?" Zhang Xiaocao said nonchalantly: "When our family is rich, we build a high wall and raise a few dogs. Look, who dares to come and make trouble without eyes!"

Grandma Zhang saw that she seemed really determined, and secretly regretted that she shouldn't have told her those things just now, which made her granddaughter not want to get married anymore!She patted her granddaughter's hand and comforted her: "How can a woman not marry? Grandma is discouraged, so she doesn't want to marry again, but what's so good about living alone? It's really too difficult! Grandma is a person who has experienced it, so she won't lie. You! Grandma will be buried in the ground one day. At that time, there will be no one to accompany you. You are so lonely, and grandma will not feel at ease underground! Good boy, don’t think about it, you are different from grandma, You still have Mu Hua! See, grandma, Mu Hua is a promising person, and you have a good relationship with your siblings. With him supporting you in the future, you won't be afraid of anything!"

Seeing that grandma couldn't make sense, Zhang Xiaocao was depressed and silent, she was really a little confused now!
It's just that before she was confused for too long, the series of things that followed made her so busy that she was no longer in the mood to think about life-long events!

"Little grass girl, what should I do about this?"
