Chapter 307 Chapter 308. Change of clan rules
Jin Qianqian, the daughter-in-law, naturally had to follow. She held Gu Bencan in her arms, and did not forget to hold Gu Benluo's hand. She followed behind him and kowtowed three times.
Li Cuicui saw her son's forehead was red, then glanced at her daughter-in-law and grandson behind her, and hurriedly helped him up, "We are all family, don't talk about those empty formalities.
It's good to be home. We can talk about anything at home."
Gu Dashi also looked at Gu Wenheng with a complicated expression. When did this kid grow up to be what he is now without anyone noticing?
Gu Wenheng patted Li Cuicui's hand soothingly, turned around and greeted the elders, his tone as if he was still the same farm boy.
After the greetings, everyone surrounded him and walked back to the village.
The bustling first day was over. Gu Wenheng went to Leping Academy to thank his teacher the next day. He also had social events in the county town for several days in a row. Finally, he had some free time on this day.
He took out the manuscript he had prepared earlier and went straight to Gu Sanbu.
Gu Sanbu was prepared, "Are these the clan rules you modified?"
Gu Wenheng, "I didn't change a lot of things in it, but I added a few. I hope Third Grandpa can take a look to see if there is anything wrong."
Gu Sanbu was in a daze for a long time after reading it. He grabbed the cup and took two sips of water, then pointed to one of the lines above, which read, "A man can take a concubine only after he is 40 and has no children. There is no concept of having a concubine in the Gu family."
Looking at the punishment below, if you don't comply, you will be kicked out of the family and all the family property will go to the legitimate wife and son.
This kid is standing there, isn't he doing this to vent Li's anger? Is he deliberately blocking the ancient stone?
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Before, everyone was used to living in poverty, so they didn't have such thoughts.
The Gu family is rich now, especially the brothers, which may be a hindrance to him.
Gu Wenheng, "I think this is the most important family rule. If there is unrest in the harem, it will be the source of disaster for the family..."
Gu Wenheng stayed with Gu Sanbu for a whole day. He finally explained clearly all the regulations he had established and amended, and got their consent. Then he walked slowly home with his hands behind his back.
The new clan rules came out very quickly, and on the third day, everyone in the village, young and old, knew about it.
In fact, the villagers didn't react much when they heard this. As for the idea of taking a concubine, it was dispensable to them. Sometimes they couldn't even support their own family, so how could they possibly add a few more mouths to feed?
Jin Qianqian was surrounded by several sisters-in-law, and she received countless words of gratitude in the whole morning.
"Sister-in-law, now we can finally sleep peacefully." Liu Liu's mouth corners were raised all the time, "You don't know that I have seen those girls at home deliberately throwing themselves at your fourth brother several times. If I hadn't kept a close eye on them, maybe there would be sisters in the family by now.
Fourth sister-in-law really wants to thank you very much. How did you convince Seventh brother to add this family rule?"
Jin Qianqian's eyes widened, looking at her innocently, "Fourth sister-in-law, you are wrongly accusing me. I never get involved in these things, not to mention such a big thing, and my husband has accused me of being jealous."
Jin Qianqian: “…” I really didn’t get involved, I just picked up the pen and helped write a few sentences.
Li Xiaohua pulled Liu Liu away and said, "Seventh brother's wife is right. It's because Seventh brother has no intention to do this. Otherwise, why would this family rule appear? Isn't this just holding me back?"
Hong Daya covered her mouth and asked in a low voice, "Is it because of what happened to my father-in-law before?"
Jin Qianqian glared at her, "Fifth sister-in-law, you can't say such nonsense.
It’s been such a long time since what happened with my father-in-law. Even if my husband feels sorry for my mother, it’s impossible for him to establish a family rule because of this.
We women have all benefited from this matter, so just be at peace with it and stop guessing all the time. Isn't life going smoothly enough?
Only when the family is stable can men like them have the energy to work hard outside. Now I think this family rule is for the good of the whole family."
Liu Liu and the others nodded knowingly. After all, they did benefit from this. With such a family rule in place, even if grown men like them had some unscrupulous thoughts, they had to consider the consequences.
"That's great. Our families all have legitimate sons, so this means they have blocked their way out. Even if they had this idea before, they have to suppress it." Li Xiaohua had a better impression of Gu Wenheng.
In her opinion, this was actually aimed at her father-in-law, and they were indirectly benefiting from it.
Gu Dashi, who had the same idea, ran to Gu Sanbu's house and slammed the table.
"What's your attitude? Although you raised a good son, is this your attitude towards your elders?" Gu Sanbu smashed the teacup on the table. Unexpectedly, the first person to jump out was Gu Dashi.
"You are targeting me on purpose. That unfilial son came up with such a trick and slapped me in the face.
Now I think everyone in the village is laughing at me, you are going too far."
Gu Sanbu looked at him and asked, "I asked you a few days ago, didn't you say that you had no contact with Widow He?
Since it has already happened, why do you care? "
"These are two completely different things," Gu Dashi said with a evasive look in his eyes, "I just feel like you guys are targeting me."
Gu Sanbu, "Do you think you are so important? Can you change the clan rules just because of you?
This is not just your business, the whole family must abide by it, including Wen Heng.
He is now a sixth-rank official in Beijing, and he may meet more women of all kinds who want to come to him voluntarily. This rule is to restrain everyone, and it may also be to restrain himself. "
There is another point that really touched Gu Sanbu. Everyone has been following this family rule. Anyone who loves their daughter will pay more attention to her. This will allow for better choices for marriages in the clan in the future.
If you put yourself in their shoes, your own girl may not want to find a partner with such a family.
Gu Dashi was speechless, but the anger in his heart did not stop. He just threw his sleeves and ran home.
Li Cuicui covered her chest with her hands. She raised so many sons, but the seventh son did the most for her.
"Tell me, were you the one who instigated Old Seven to establish such a rule?" Gu Dashi rushed in and pointed at Li Cuicui and shouted.
Li Cuicui turned her head and flexed her ten fingers, scaring Gu Dashi so much that he quickly retreated to the corner.
"Do I need to instigate Old Seven? I am enough to deal with you by myself. You are not worth my son's efforts." Li Cuicui glanced at him with contempt. He is getting more and more cowardly as he gets older. Where is the momentum he had just now?
"Now I've become a joke to everyone. Are you satisfied?"
Li Cuicui nodded and said, "Now that you put it that way, I think it's true.
But since you are so anxious now, let me guess, it seems that you still haven't made peace with the widow."
