Not only Li Xu knew this, but the rest of the Li family also understood this. "This policy is indeed useless, but even with such a large reward from above, it can't control population growth. Will they resort to forced intervention in the future?"
Everyone understands that when rewards are ineffective, a punishment policy will most likely be implemented.
This is also the reason why many people feel their scalps tingling when they see this document.
Li Xu nodded, "Definitely."
Sun Xiu showed an anxious expression and asked quickly, "Xiao Xu, can you estimate the approximate time?"
"As short as two years, as long as five years."
Hearing this time, Sun Xiu thought about it in her mind, then turned to look at Li Mei, "Xiao Mei, can I have a baby in college?"
"Huh?" Li Mei was stunned, not understanding what she meant. "Why are you asking that?"
"I'm asking your sister," Sun Xiu explained. "I'm worried that Xiaoju might not graduate from university before the policy comes into effect. So I want her to hurry up and find a partner, get married, and have children. That way, maybe she can have another child."
Everyone in the room was a bit amused. "Finding a partner isn't like buying vegetables at the market. You can spot a good one right away. If we don't screen her, what if she gets deceived by a scoundrel in human clothing? Besides, even if she can find a good man and agrees to get married while she's still in school, he'll still have to seek his family's approval. So, if they can get married by the end of the year, it'd be good. If the policy comes sooner, she'll still only be able to have one child."
Sun Xiu thought for a moment and said, "We can look for a suitable man for her at home. If we find one that's suitable, we can bring him to Wuhan University for her to meet. If she's satisfied, we can then have him rent a house near the university, and the two of them can get married and live there. What do you think of this idea?"
Everyone looked at each other and said in unison, "I don't think it's very good."
Li Xu then persuaded her, "Mom, don't worry, don't worry. My younger sister doesn't plan to become an official, and disobeying policies won't affect her future. She can have as many children as she wants. If she wants a fine, I'll pay it for her. As for other punishments, with our family's influence in Tang County, who would dare to punish her?"
"That's right, Mom. You don't have to rush her to get married so early." The others echoed.
Sun Xiu was persuaded by Li Xu and gave up the idea, but she still said, "She's not getting married now, but she can find a partner. Xiaoxu, write her a letter later and ask if she has any classmates she likes. If not, tell her that I will find one for her at home."
Li Xu couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what are you so anxious about?"
