The story of a farmer's fierce wife

Chapter 119 It's Difficult for a Widow to Marry Again, I Want to Joint Stock (2)
Ning Shao said hoarsely: "This is not bad, it will be even colder when the snow melts."

Ren Xiao took this very seriously, and silently crossed her fingers in her heart. At that time, she should have no relatives to go to pay New Year's greetings, right?

After dinner, Ren Xiao and Ning Shao sat together to tie the thread, chatting about various topics, occasionally children, and occasionally gossip and gossip in the village, but it was interesting.

"Sister-in-law, the previous sister-in-law Feng told me that she wanted to introduce someone to Cui Niang, do you think it's reliable?" Ren Xiao asked seemingly unintentionally, keeping her eyes on the silk thread in her hand.

Ning Shao gave a hum, looked at her rather strangely, with a half-smile on his face, "Why do you care about this? You thought you didn't care about anything."

Ren Xiao was slightly embarrassed, "I'm not some god who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, how could I not care about these things, good sister-in-law, just analyze and analyze."

Ning Shao sighed, and then said: "You think it's so easy for Cui Niang to remarry, the first one who disagrees is the Zhang family."

"Huh? Why is this? Didn't I allow widows to remarry and remarry with divorced daughters and return to clan daughters?" Ren Xiao looked at her puzzled.

Hearing her question, Ning Shao could only give her a reproachful look, "Didn't you forget the chastity archway in front of our village?"

Ren Xiao suddenly realized, yes, compared to allowing widows to remarry, the imperial court rewarded chaste and martyred women even more. Not only did the family not have to pay taxes, but they also got silver rewards and a chastity memorial arch that shines on the lintel.

In order to benefit the family, there are naturally many widows whose in-laws do not allow the widows to remarry. Those widows who can remarry are all due to the strength of the natal family or the kindness of the in-laws.

Looking at the behavior of the Zhang family now, I'm afraid it is unlikely.Is she going to be a widow for the rest of her life?
Ning Shao didn't seem to see her ugly face, and said to himself: "You think it's easy for widows to remarry. Although the imperial court seems to appreciate widows' remarriage, they appreciate those chaste women even more. Don't you see Mrs. Liu?" That's right, now there is a huge chastity archway, who in the neighborhood disrespects her? Who dares to speak ill of her."

Ren Xiao's lips moved, but she didn't speak. In memory, this old lady Liu seemed to have been widowed for decades, and she lost her father in her early years, her father in her middle age, and her son in her old age. All these things were concentrated on her alone. She went, and when the Zhao family was in crisis, she was the only woman who stepped forward to keep the Zhao family from being squeezed out of the village.

It's no wonder that the current Zhao family is proud of her. It is said that the current head of the Zhao family is her brother-in-law, and he really has a trick.

"Then...in my sister-in-law's mind, is it more important to stay chaste for a dead person, or to find a happy home for myself?" Ren Xiao still didn't give up, modern educational thinking had already engraved in her bones.Things like Shouzhen were really hard for her to accept.

Hearing the words, Ning Shao just stopped the movements in his hands, did not make a sound, looked at her without blinking, and then slowly said after a long time: "If it is for the one I love, I will stick to it, but if it is not worth it people, why should I stick to it?"

"Well said, but I believe that this kind of thing will not happen to us."

Ning Shao smiled and nodded, looking out of the window, but unfortunately it was pitch black outside, and only the ground was silvery white.

**
Waking up early, Ning Shao started packing things for Ren Xiao to go to her natal family. Her natal family was in the county, and her brother and sister-in-law didn't want to see her long ago. They broke up with her a few years ago, so it doesn't matter whether she goes or not.
