Chapter 118: Changes Brought by Chao Chao
Jian Yunsang's question made the people of the Daqi Dynasty slowly calm down from their shock.
They carefully recalled the examples of cousins getting married around them. It seemed, as if, probably, it was really like what Miss Jane said...
Some of them may be normal, but there are others who are either dull and stupid, or have uncoordinated hands and feet, or do not live to adulthood. In short, compared with children born from ordinary couples, the probability of problems with children born from such close relatives is indeed higher.
The more they thought about it, the paler the people of the Daqi Dynasty became.
Especially for those families who have already married and have children, they feel that it is no different from the sky falling.
Isn't it said that close relatives are closer? Why is it so? Why do couples with similar blood ties give birth to less healthy children? Why?
Chao Chao also asked, "Mom, why is this happening?"
Jian Yunsang was deep in thought. Chaochao wouldn't understand what dominant gene or recessive gene meant even if she explained it to her. She could only explain it in a way that she could understand as much as possible.
"Each of us carries some harmful substances in our bodies, which will be passed on to the next generation when we have children. Therefore, relatives with the same ancestor may acquire the same harmful substances. When such relatives become husband and wife, the harmful substances may double and cause diseases. It's like when we boil water, 50 degrees is just right. If we boil it another 50 degrees, will it be 100 degrees? Will we get burned if we drink it?"
Chao Chao raised his eyes and thought for a while, "I think I understand a little bit."
"So marriage between close relatives is extremely unacceptable. It is not only against human ethics, but also detrimental to future generations."
The people of the Great Qi Dynasty also seemed to understand but not quite.
But they don't understand, "Why do we all carry harmful things in our bodies? Then why don't we get sick?"
Who knows? Miss Jian didn't explain it clearly, and they couldn't explain it.
But they are sure that marriage between close relatives will indeed have a great impact on the next generation.
Emperor Jingxuan took a deep breath. It seemed that he would be busy next.
He needs to think carefully about how to deal with those cousins who are married.
It's easier to deal with wealthy families, the worst that can happen is divorce. But I'm afraid that some stubborn families in small places will force the couple to live without a way out.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard Chao Chao say "Ouch".
Jian Yunsang lowered his head, "What's wrong?"
"My sister Lin Lan is the sister who treated me very well as I said." Seeing Jian Yunsang nod, she said anxiously, "Sister Lin Lan said that her aunt also wants her to marry her cousin. Then, will her children also have poor health in the future?"
Jian Yunsang had not expected this to happen. She could not help but sigh, "It's hard to say. It's a matter of probability. It may be good, or it may... not be good."
"What should we do then?"
Jian Yunsang had no choice. Shangliu Village was in ancient times, hundreds of years away from them. To put it bluntly, Miss Lin Lan had long passed away, and whether she married her cousin or not was already a fait accompli.
But seeing Chao Chao's worried look, she still said, "You don't have to worry too much. Didn't you say it? It's just that her aunt wants her to marry her cousin, and she hasn't married yet. Who knows if there will be any changes that will prevent this marriage from being completed."
Chao Chao raised her head, "What changes will there be? Sister Lin Lan's grandparents also agree."
Jian Yunsang: "..." This, she doesn't know either.
She coughed lightly and said, "For example, didn't your sister Lin Lan's grandparents originally want to abandon her sister? But because of your help, her sister is safe, and her grandparents' conspiracy was exposed, and they may even split the family because of it. Then her grandparents must be very angry with her, and they may not agree to her marriage with her aunt's cousin?"
Chao Chao's expression brightened, "Yes, Mom, you are right, it will definitely be like this, Mom, you are so smart."
Jian Yunsang, "..."
Lin Lan, who was on the deck looking at the sky at the moment, was stunned when she heard this, and then she burst into laughter, "Chao Chao, ah Chao Chao, because of you, this thing really won't be accomplished."
Indeed, her aunt intended for her to marry her cousin.
In fact, her aunt was very nice to her. Every time she came to Old Lin's house, she would bring her food. Although it was not expensive, sometimes a steamed bun, sometimes a piece of cake, but in the environment of Old Lin's family, it was already considered that her aunt was very fond of her niece.
Her aunt often said that she was hardworking and kind, and would definitely be a good wife in the future.
But just when she was about to come of age, her aunt suddenly said that she wanted her to marry her cousin to strengthen the relationship between the two families.
At that time, Lin Lan suddenly felt that her aunt's kindness to her seemed to have changed.
In particular, some things cannot stand up to scrutiny. For example, her aunt often taught her how a woman should serve her husband, often told her that it was common for a husband to beat his wife, and that every family lived this way. She often told her that a woman had to give birth to more sons to gain a firm foothold in her husband's family, otherwise she couldn't blame her husband for having an affair. For example, if she brought herself something delicious, she would tell her to be nice to her aunt and be filial to her in the future.
Lin Lan felt uncomfortable listening to these words, and what made her even more uncomfortable was that she didn't want to marry her cousin.
Especially when I found out that my cousin had a bad temper and was violent, I felt even more repulsed.
But when the old Lin family was still a family, her grandparents decided her marriage. Since they agreed, they would not allow her to refuse. Moreover, the reasons she rejected were nothing to them.
However, because of Chao Chao, the Lin family split up.
Her marriage is decided by her parents. Her parents love her and will listen to her opinion.
However, now, before she had time to say anything or find a suitable excuse, Chaochao helped her a lot again.
Moreover, this favor allows them to have no worries at all.
Lin Tian also patted her shoulder at this moment and said, "Before the separation, your aunt mentioned your marriage to me. Dad could see that you didn't want to marry your cousin, so I delayed it on the grounds that your mother had just given birth and was not energetic enough. I was originally thinking about how to convince your grandparents, but I didn't expect that incident to happen and we separated. Without your grandparents in charge, it is less troublesome. I just haven't figured out how to tell your aunt, and now it seems that I don't need to say more, and your aunt won't mention it again."
Lin Tian was truly relieved, even though after the separation, the old Lin family could no longer decide on Lin Lan's marriage.
But their family also received the silver bracelet and had money, and their life became better. I'm afraid his sister would be even more reluctant to give up this marriage.
