Chapter 491: Men Accept Reality
"Village head, Master, how could you possibly think of divorcing a husband?"
"You are men too!"
"Although the Master is single now, he will marry in the future!"
"You may be old, but you still have sons and grandchildren! How could you betray your descendants like this?"
The men were so angry that they were about to cry and their thighs were slapped until they turned red.
"It's even stamped with the national seal! This is a done deal!"
"For such a huge matter, at least discuss it with us first and listen to our opinions!"
Zhao Xingjian and the village head listened quietly to their complaints and posted the imperial edict on the city wall. "Do you think this was our idea?"
The men were stunned, then started shouting, waving their fists.
"Who is that?!"
"Who on earth could have rewritten the history of men without saying a word?"
"How can a man, as the head of the family, be divorced? Wouldn't that just lead to chaos?"
"We need to seek justice!"
"It's me!" A cute little voice rang out.
The soft and adorable little baby came out on his short legs, his big eyes shining with innocence. "What's up? Does anyone have any questions?"
Men: “…”
The men lost all their momentum in an instant.
He silently put away his waving fist.
“No, no problem!”
"No problem at all!"
"Why are you unhappy?" Xiao Jiuer looked confused.
"No, no, no, we're happy!"
“We are so happy!”
The men lowered their heads and cried silently in their hearts.
"La, why aren't you smiling?" Little Dumpling tilted his head. "Is it because you're not naturally fond of smiling?"
"Master Xiaojiu, we are laughing!"
The men curled up the corners of their lips, and their smiles were uglier than crying.
"Your smile is so beautiful! It makes me feel happy!"
The little dumpling returned to the city with a clatter.
The men didn't smile until the little man was completely out of sight. Then they began to sigh.
"That's enough!" The women tried to suppress their laughter and shouted in comfort, "It's no big deal. Aren't we women always like this? Aren't we living well?"
"As long as you take care of your family and live a good life, we won't really divorce you!"
"That makes sense!" the village head said, stroking his beard. "What are you worried about? There's no man in Heihe City who treats his wife badly! If there really is one, whether you have a divorce order or not, you should change your ways! Otherwise, Master Xiaojiu will cause trouble for you sooner or later!"
The men thought about it and felt that it made sense.
To be honest, people living in Heihe City have long been transformed into five-good citizens.
There are eleven villages in Heihe City, and each village is on high alert, fearing that any shameful incident will reach the ears of Lord Xiaojiu.
The village heads were like radars. If there was any disturbance in someone's house, they would immediately come over with their small stools and talk for three days and three nights without stopping.
"Master, is this order of divorce to be issued to the entire Daewoo?"
"Of course." Zhao Xingjian said, "As long as it is a place that surrenders to Black River City, it will be announced."
The villagers felt balanced immediately.
Since all the men in Daewoo are the same, there is nothing to be sad about.
"The Regent King refuses to sit on the throne. Sooner or later, the throne will belong to Xiaojiu-sama. It's only a matter of time before she issues a divorce order!"
"It's clearly written on the big stone: Jiulin is born, and the world will be united. Master Xiaojiu will unify the world sooner or later, and when he does, all men will be the same!"
"It's a man's duty to love his wife. Whether there's a divorce order or not, life will be the same."
The men quickly accepted the reality.
Because they know there is no other way but to accept it.
Xiao Jiuer will become the first empress in the world.
Since the queen is in power, she will naturally issue laws to protect women.
The status of women will become higher and higher, which is an inevitable trend.
Everyone understands this principle.
"Life is getting better and better, which is better than anything else!"
The men propped up the collapsed tent and picked up their tools again to get busy.
That afternoon, the divorce order, stamped with the imperial seal, was sent to various places.
At the same time, a message was sent to the governors of various places, asking those who did not accept the divorce order to automatically leave the jurisdiction of Heihe City.
In short, on the first day of the divorce order, everything was calm everywhere.
Of course, the calmness refers to the men.
The men didn't even dare to breathe.
After all, apart from Heihe City, where else would be exempt from taxes?
Where else is there a place that is blessed with good weather, good harvests, and no worries about food and drink?
The women were so happy that they went crazy. I heard that in some places women were so happy that they knelt down and kowtowed.
Everyone is watching and wondering who will be the first woman to divorce her husband!
As a result, all the pressure fell on the Qingyang County Magistrate alone.
After receiving Zhao Xingjian's letter, he immediately took his men to Shui He's house.
This was the first case of divorce in the world.
He can't mess this up!
It is necessary to carefully study the regulations of the divorce order, act in accordance with the guiding ideology of the divorce order, and become a model for divorce cases!
That night, Shui He, who was beaten to death, was escorted back to Heihe City by Qingyang County officials.
Shui He became the first person in history to divorce her husband, and it is said that the divorce letter was written on her behalf by the Qingyang County Magistrate.
Shuihe not only brought back her dowry.
According to the extent of the man's violence, the Qingyang County Magistrate ordered the man's property to be converted into cash and required him to pay Shui He half of it before the divorce was final!
I heard that the man’s family cried so much that they fainted.
The parents-in-law who had previously condoned their son's violence were now slapping themselves in the face!
Qingyang County fired the first shot in the divorce process. Those women who had been abused and beaten by men for a long time could no longer bear it. They knelt in front of the yamen and cried and shouted for divorce. The yamen in various places were crowded with people.
It was not until this moment that those unknown tragic lives were exposed to the world in a bloody manner.
Heihe City issued a second decree overnight, requiring all localities to establish marriage termination departments to specifically handle the breakdown of marriages between men and women.
Yingyan was appointed as an inspector by Xiaojiuer and went to various places for inspection.
Xiao Jiuer believes that only women can truly put themselves in women's shoes.
Although Yingyan is not married yet, she is mature in thinking and has rich experience in dealing with people. She is very suitable to disguise herself as a man and go to different places to understand the situation.
Heihe City then issued a third decree to rectify matchmakers in various places and establish official matchmakers.
Matchmakers are strictly prohibited from concealing the true situation of the man and woman and arranging marriages at random in order to collect red envelopes.
Qin the matchmaker from Jingwan Village was directly kidnapped by the villagers and sent to Heihe Village.
Shui He's marriage was arranged by Qin the matchmaker.
Qin the matchmaker knew very well that the man’s ex-wife had committed suicide, leaving behind her two children because she could not bear the insults and beatings.
But in order to get the matchmaker's fee, she concealed the truth.
Qin Matchmaker's family was sentenced to digging for iron ore in Wild Bear Ridge for a year...
The three imperial edicts from Heihe City soon reached the ears of the emperor who was on the road. When he heard that Heihe City had used the national seal, the emperor fainted again from anger.
"Son, we're almost there! Don't get dizzy!"
Luo Linger felt itchy all over and scratched herself until she left countless bloody marks.
"You have to save Mom! If I can't get the antidote, Mom will die miserably!"
