Chapter 651 The Old Lady Urges Divorce

When Ling Yun saw her admit it so generously, his momentum instantly weakened.

"Can't you... say something nice?"

Bai Tong put one hand on his waist and spread out the other hand, hooked his fingers and said, "Take the money."

Ling Yun began to search his body and even searched the space.

Finally, he took out two gold coins, three silver coins, and a string of copper coins.

"That's all. My space is filled with weapons, nothing more."

Bai Tong felt sorry for him when he saw how pitiful he was, but he also felt angry because the money was too little.

She glanced at Ling Yun and said, "I'll give you two days, at least ten gold coins. Ten gold coins is only one hundred taels of silver. You can't even come up with that, and you still want to please a woman?"

Speaking of silver, Ling Yun finally got the idea. He took out two gold ingots, one weighing ten taels.

"Can I give this to you?"

Bai Tong stared at the gold ingot blankly, with only one thought in his mind...

"It's over, it's going to be less!"

She reluctantly accepted the gold ingot and said, "Okay, I'll exchange it myself."

"Then I'll go back. Don't worry, I promise I won't say anything bad about you."

Ling Yun asked hurriedly: "Didn't you ask her to forgive me?"

Bai Tong glanced over and said, "This is to buy me from not saying bad things about you. If you want Nuan Nuan to forgive you, two hundred!"

Ling Yun gritted his teeth and took out another box of gold bars, "Two hundred taels..."

Bai Tong's eyes lit up and he reached out to take it.

However, Ling Yun abruptly withdrew his hand and said, "My sister-in-law likes gold. If she knew that I gave the gold to another woman, she would be even more angry."

"Forget it, I won't give it to you. I'll figure it out myself. I won't take back what I've already given you. But you also have to remember not to say anything bad about me!"

After saying that, Ling Yun ran away using Qing Kung.

Bai Tong kept reaching out to take the gold, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

She jumped up and down and yelled, "Ling Yun, you bastard!"

The old lady who was watching the excitement from a distance laughed, and now that there was nothing more to watch, she turned around and went back to rest.

Bai Tong walked into the main house angrily and saw Su Nuan making tea, so she walked over and sat down.

"Look, these men are not good people. We don't want them."

Su Nuan smiled and said, "Didn't I just offer you twenty taels of gold to stop saying bad things about him?"

Bai Tong snorted, "I didn't just talk about him, I was talking about all men."

The old lady sat down slowly and said with a smile, "If a man could understand a woman's mind, how amazing would that be?"

"Besides, mutual understanding doesn't come naturally; it's something that develops over a long period of time together."

Bai Tong nodded, "Grandma is right, but men always make women angry!"

The old lady took the tea from Su Nuan, took a sip slowly, and then said, "This is why we need to balance yin and yang. Only by getting along with each other can we know whether it is suitable or not."

"But nowadays, most marriages are blind and silent. How can there be so many people who can know each other well before marriage?"

"Women, once you get married, the shackles of being a good wife and mother are placed on you. Some are chained for life, while others break free."

Bai Tong seemed to understand and sighed, "It's so hard for women. Once you get married, you have to rely on men and have children."

The old lady pondered for a moment and said, "But there's nothing we can do about it. Women can't go out to work and earn money, so they rely on men for food, clothing, shelter and transportation."

"If you meet a man with a conscience, life won't be difficult. But if you meet a man without a conscience..."

He didn't say anything else, but his meaning was already very clear.

Su Nuan smiled and said, "That's right. It's not that women are not strong enough, but the world doesn't allow women to show their faces in public."

"You can survive without getting married, but the country, in order to reproduce the population, will definitely not let women who can bear children not find a partner."

"That way you'll have an official match. If you insist on not getting married, you'll still have to pay taxes."

Bai Tong fell silent. Su Nuan had made it very clear that no matter what, women needed to get married and have children.

She snorted coldly, "My mother died giving birth to my brother, and my brother couldn't survive. Why should a woman have to go through this?"

The old lady sighed and said nothing.

Su Nuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Giving birth to a child is like going through the gates of hell. If you don't make it..."

"A man will definitely clean up and marry another woman, but if a woman loses her husband, it will be very difficult for her to remarry!"

Thinking of this, Su Nuan took out a pen and paper and wrote something quickly.

Bai Tong leaned over to take a look. Su Nuan had written about the Sifang City regulations that protected women's rights.

She asked in surprise, "Can someone who's been married for a year and has no children come to you for a free physical examination?"

Su Nuan nodded, "Well, having a child is not just a matter for one person. If the woman has no problem, then it's the man's problem."

"In the past, if a woman couldn't get pregnant, everyone would blame her belly for not being able to conceive."

Bai Tong nodded. "Yes, but what about this? If a woman has been childless for three years and is healthy, can she apply for a divorce through official media?"

Su Nuan glanced at her sideways, "Why? Only men want to carry on the family line, so women don't have any desire to have children? If the man can't do it and the woman wants to have children, then they can divorce and remarry."

"Oh, and it should also be written that if the woman is healthy, the man cannot object to the divorce, and he must return the dowry and provide compensation."

Bai Tong's eyes sparkled as he asked, "Is the man also healthy?"

Su Nuan chuckled, "It all depends on the conscience of both people. If they both have a conscience, they won't break up. If one of them doesn't have a conscience, they'll argue for a few days. If both of them have no conscience..."

She really didn't expect this. Would the two of them fight if they both had no conscience?

The old lady said, "You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Who knows if he has a conscience? It doesn't matter."

"There are few women in our northern land right now. If they are willing to marry and have children, it is a gift to men."

Su Nuan nodded, "Well... let's do this. If there are too many laws favoring women, men will feel unbalanced. Let's do it step by step."

The old lady smiled and said, "Yes, at least we should consider the men's face."

"That way, those evil mothers-in-law won't dare to bully their daughters-in-law. They have to coax them well, otherwise they won't have a daughter-in-law after three years."

Su Nuan smiled and said, "Yes, I think so too."

The old lady looked at Su Nuan again, "Are you going to wait three years before getting a divorce too?"

Su Nuan quickly shook her head, "It doesn't have to take that long. As long as both of us agree, we can get divorced at any time."

The old lady was a little depressed. She had always been optimistic, but this time she really had no idea what to do.

"Hey...you two should talk it over. If you've made up your mind, don't delay it too long, or there might be complications."

Su Nuan nodded. Extraneous complications? Does Mu Fengjiao count?

But she has been driven out of the city, so she shouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

Su Nuan stood up and said, "I'm going to walk around the street. I don't want to sleep yet. Let's sleep together tonight."

Bai Tong said, "I'll accompany you."

The old lady looked at Su Nuan and asked, "What do you think of Xiao Yun? Although he has many shortcomings, he is worthy of you."
