Chapter 73: Mysterious Fire Girl

"Mr. Chen, I have a suggestion. It's not a good idea to keep buying wives like this. There are more and more boys in the village, but fewer and fewer women. Something will happen sooner or later."

An old woman stepped forward and said.

Mrs. Chen Wang was widowed at a young age and had a son and a daughter.

When the husband died, his sons were still young, and all the land, property, and wealth were taken by his brothers who had many children.

Mrs. Chen Wang learned her lesson from then on, knowing that if the population was large, people would not bully her. She worked hard to raise her son, and she married him to a wife and a concubine just for the purpose of having children.

After the incident of A-Bao happened, their family gave birth to twelve sons in one go.

Now these twelve children are all young and strong, and they are likely to become the second Meng family. Of course, she has already taken back her industries and even expanded them.

Therefore, the old lady worked hard for her children and grandchildren all her life, and managed the household well, and she was well-known in the village.

Mrs. Chen Wang said, "It will become increasingly difficult to buy women in the village. No family wants to be extinct, and not every family is rich. So I think that in order to keep the family prosperous, we should not fight over a few money-losing women, but should think of a countermeasure to ensure that every family has a chance to inherit the family line."

She glanced at Lingling and said, "Hand over all these lost goods to the village. Let the families without offspring stay in our homes once a year. If they give birth to a child within a year, everyone will be happy. If not, there is nothing we can do. It will be the next family's turn."

"This ensures that every family can leave children, and it also prevents the men in the village from causing trouble because they are left alone."

Everyone started thinking about this question.

Meng Chenfeng wanted to say something, but this time he was stopped by the old man of the Meng family.

There are too many bachelors in the village, without wives and children. They are not afraid of death at all. If you want them to live in stability, how can you not offer a few women?

Anyway, their family has never relied on Abao for help, and they will not send their women away. If it really doesn't work, they can only move out.

Their family can't give birth to more than one person in a village.

Some people who bought a wife were not happy: "But we bought this woman with real money, what is the reason for giving her away?"

"Grandma Wang, you have too many boys and don't have enough money to buy a wife, right? But you can't steal someone else's wife."

Mrs. Chen Wang leaned on her cane and said, "How much money did you spend? Those who need to arrange women can just collect the money and pay you back. You slept with a woman for a few years without spending any money, and she even gave birth to a son for you. Isn't this a good deal?"

She added: "Even if it wasn't bought, if he agreed to donate it to his wife, the villagers would also raise money to give it to him. Isn't that inappropriate?"

All the men with wives were moved.

The women who were watching the ceremony all looked pale and terrified.

Seeing that no one objected, Mr. Chen said, "Then let's just leave it as it is."

An old bachelor raised his hand and said, "I want it. I want Ah Qiu's wife. Ah Qiu's wife should go to my house first."

Ah Qiu was furious: "Why would my wife give it to you?"

"Oh, this is the rule of the village. Because I can't get a wife and have no son, you were able to offer your daughter to me. Now you have a son, too. Why don't you give me a wife?"

"you……"

Ah Qiu looked at Elder Chen and said, "Elder Chen, this rule is ridiculous. My wife and I are in love with each other. We met outside."

Mrs. Chen Wang said, "Ah Qiu, for the sake of the villagers and everyone's incense, you should just be patient. You don't want to become the sinner of the whole village, right?"

"Hey, I want Madam Aqiu..."

The man went straight to kick the door.

Lingling scolded: "You are not allowed to touch my mother."

Mrs. Chen Wang blocked Lingling's way and said, "I have many children at home, Lingling, please go to my house first."

"Bah! You old hag, you are a woman yourself, but just because you are old and have children, you are no longer a woman? You will be struck by lightning for ruining so many women."

"How can you talk like that, kid?" Mrs. Chen Wang said, "I am doing this for the villagers' incense. What's wrong with that? I am doing this for the villagers' incense. It's a great merit. But you are unwilling to serve a man. Be careful that you will go to hell after you die."

"Get out, get out..."

"She, they are running away, so they should still follow the rules." A thin man who was not injured said as he carried Li Sanniang towards the hut.

Li Sanniang screamed in fear: "Let me go, let me go, I can make everyone in your village give birth to a son, and I guarantee one every year... no, one every six months."

"Koizumi, put her down." Mr. Chen said suddenly.

Xiaoquan reluctantly put Li Sanniang down. Chen Lao asked, "What can you do? I have never heard that a person can give birth to a child in half a year."

"Because, because you are all ordinary people!" Li Sanniang was trembling with fear and stuttered at first, but then she became fluent and pointed to the room and said, "Don't look at that fool. She was enlightened by our ancestor. Do you know who our ancestor is? The Secretary General, Li Jidao!"

"I am a member of the Li family!" Li Sanniang shouted.

Although the village has a strict system, the information is different. From Luoyang to Chang'an City, everyone knows Li Jidao, the master of metaphysics of the Li family.

It should be said that everyone knows how powerful the Li family is.

"But I heard that she is dead." said Mr. Chen.

Li Sanniang said, "Death does not affect the people she enlightened. My sister was born stupid, and I was afraid that no one would take care of her in the future, so she must have something extraordinary. The ability our ancestors gave her was the ability to give birth."

The more she lied, the smoother it became.

Li Ji said: [Who would give this ability to someone without any hesitation? Is it to save people or to harm people? It's a matter of life and death, it's ridiculous.]

But people outside believed it, and someone came to pull Li Jidao.

Feng Ying cursed Li Sanniang: "Li Sanniang was the one who was warned by our ancestors."

As soon as Feng Ying shouted, Li Zhengchun said, "Ah Ying, why can't you understand? Ah Jian is a fool. She has no pain. How can you hurt Sanniang like this? Sanniang is a living person."

Feng Ying was in no mood to argue with him. She stood up and wanted to go out with Li Jidao. The villager said, "It will be your turn soon. Don't worry."

As soon as Li Jidao was brought out, a laugh as loud as a bell came from behind the stone tablet.

"Haha, after searching everywhere for something, I finally found it without any effort. The Black Fire Girl appears." He was an old Taoist with crane-like hair and a childish face. He held a golden pagoda in one hand and brushed away dust with the other.

He jumped out with a thud, looking unkempt but energetic, and seemed to be more energetic than young people.

He said to the crowd, "Don't be afraid. Don't you want the village to return to its previous life and have a girl born? With her, you can have a boy if you want one and a girl if you want one."

Li Sanniang widened her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. Was this an accidental success?

Everyone looked at Li Ji with shining eyes and asked, "Is she the real fertility lady?"

The men who had never seen Li Jidao before shouted, "Take off the veil first and see what she looks like."
