Chapter 83 Urging Marriage
After the officers left, everyone couldn't help crying again.
"Wow, woo ...
Lin Lang burst into tears, his eyes swollen like walnuts. He hugged Lin Yue tightly, as if he wanted to cry out all the panic and grievances in his heart.
Lin Yue looked at the group of little kids who started crying again. Their sharp cries pierced her ears and made her head hurt, but she couldn't tell them the truth now.
This concerns everyone's safety, so we have to be cautious.
The struggle for power between Prince Jing and the Emperor in the court has become more severe. Disasters occur frequently, and the court does nothing. Therefore, the people have been living in dire straits. These days, when she was traveling outside, she heard about riots and uprisings in various places. Although they were suppressed in the end, a single spark can start a prairie fire.
If it really doesn't work, Lin Yue doesn't mind adding fuel to the fire. When the dynasty changes, there will definitely be a general amnesty, and the government will definitely revoke the status of the exiles.
Even if you become rich in the future, there will still be people who will use your status as an excuse.
Everyone spent the day in tears, sad about the death of their parents and also sad that they would have to rely on themselves from now on. The officer didn't consider at all how a half-grown child would grow up alive with more than 200 children.
Maybe they thought about it, but just deliberately ignored it. These were all fugitives, and to the government, death was death.
In this way, the children of Baixiang Village missed their relatives, suppressed their sadness and had to find food every day, trying hard to survive. The officials responsible for monitoring them lost interest after watching them for a few days.
On this day, when the children of Baixiang Village were fishing for seafood at the beach, they saw a large ship coming through the wind and waves. The villagers of Baixiang Village on the ship were in tears. They were forced to leave the children. They were also feeling bad, especially when they knew that the children had been sad for a month. Their hearts were full of pain.
The family was reunited, but the children in Baixiang Village were still upset for a while, and the culprit, Lin Yue, hid away.
Five years passed in a flash. Lin Yue had become an eighteen-year-old girl. Lin Lang, who was the same age as her, had already married and had children. The thing that Min talked about most every day was her marriage.
"Mom, I told you I won't get married."
"How can a girl not get married? Who will take care of you when you are old? If you get sick and there is no filial son by your bedside, your father and I will die sooner or later!"
Mrs. Min spoke earnestly, saying that it was really a headache for her daughter not to want to get married. Why didn't she see such a trend before?
In the past five years, Baixiang Village has found an island suitable for their survival. The entire island is about 50,000 square kilometers, and they have only developed the central 1,000 square kilometers.
Lin Yue’s previous plan was hastily built, and everyone had a home on the island. Everyone in Baixiang Village had been here.
Now Min led several women to set up a garment factory. They bought cloth from outside, processed it, and designed clothes according to the climate of the island. They changed the previous cumbersome and cumbersome styles, and shirts, shorts, and swimsuits all appeared.
"If I meet the right person in the future, I will get married. I really don't have any feelings for the people around me, and having children doesn't necessarily require marriage."
Lin Yue muttered softly, but Min still heard it.
"What did you say? Say it again!"
Min's voice suddenly rose, and she showed an incredible expression.
"We just want the child but not the father. With so few people in Baixiang Village, it's best for girls not to marry out of town. Those who marry into a family are generally not very successful or have ulterior motives.
The child will take the mother's surname, so that the child who grew up on the island will have a stronger sense of belonging."
"How is it the same? Not to mention whether your idea is recognized by others or not, people will gossip about you behind your back. Even if you don't care, what about the child?
What if the child comes to you looking for his father? What if the child is isolated, bullied, and suffers from the psychological problems you mentioned?
Min almost vomited blood. Is this going from one extreme to another?
Although I think what Lin Yue said makes sense, this idea is still too shocking.
After five years of development, the status of women in Baixiang Village has improved a lot, and many positions are now held by women. Except for the young children who are still learning to speak, no one in Baixiang Village is a freeloader.
"Mother, if the girl from Baixiang Village gets married, then our Baixiang Village will lose a talented person. Moreover, many secrets are also open to the tribe members. How can you be sure that she won't sell us out to please her husband or in-laws?
Moreover, there are only so many people in our Baixiang Village. After several generations of intermarriage, the bloodline has become tangled and complicated. The children born later either have problems or it is difficult to have offspring.
So not only me, I also encourage other people on the island to do this, so that children will have more examples and will not find it strange. "
Every time I talked about marriage with Lin Yue, she always had a lot of big truths waiting for me.
"I can't convince you, but I'll wait and see so you won't regret it later."
Min turned around and left in anger, leaving Lin Yue alone, touching her nose in embarrassment.
However, getting married and having children was an inevitable stage in life in ancient times. When everyone around you was married, you would become an outlier if you were the only one who stood out. Even though you had a good relationship with everyone, people would still talk about you behind your back.
Lin Yue didn't want to compromise, didn't want to be tied down to a family for a man, and didn't want to become unlike herself because of a man.
Although the older generation in Baixiang Village had concubines, the island's promulgated rules included the monogamy system. If they couldn't live together, they could divorce, but they were absolutely not allowed to have three wives, four concubines, mistresses, or lovers. Once discovered, they would be expelled from the island and become the lowest class of people on the island.
This is also to ensure that the secrets of the island will not be leaked due to family disputes, and to ensure to the greatest extent possible that no unpredictable disasters will occur on the island due to retaliation.
Min returned to the garment factory angrily, looking angry.
"What happened to make us so angry?"
Jian Chengyu's wife He Jianjia came to Min Xin. As a good friend, of course she had to help her solve the problem. What's more, she was Lin Yue's mother. Her unlucky son was already twenty years old and still refused to get married. He was still thinking about Lin Yue.
Min really had no choice. How could such a good girl not want to get married?
"It's my daughter who's collecting debts. She's eighteen and still not married. No matter how much I push her, it's useless. She just gave me a bunch of excuses to put me off."
He Jianjia's eyes rolled around, her gaze flickering.
"From ancient times to the present, marriages have always been decided by parents and matchmakers. As parents, can't you arrange a marriage for her?"
