Zhao Meiya was the only one left on the field still arguing with the group of scholars. It had reached the point where they didn't care about right or wrong, they only cared about winning or losing.
This is a battle for her dignity, and no one can be better than her in quarreling.
In the end, it was too late and the temperature outside had reached the point where water would freeze into ice. The onlookers could not bear the cold and went home one after another. The two families were forced to temporarily cease fighting.
But this is not the end of it.
The Xiao family refused to give in and spared no effort to fabricate their past, as if they were determined to force He Xiaojie to marry him.
Xiao's mother is more astute than Xiao Qing. She has come to her senses now. What if He Xiaojie gives her salary to her parents' home after marriage? In the end, she will have to take out part of it to support the family. Can the He family really bear to see her suffer?
Even if she insisted on not paying and waited for people to go to work, she could move as much as she wanted, whether it was the snacks and clothes in the house or the grains, oils, meat and vegetables in the kitchen.
Could she really fight with her mother-in-law over something?
Xiao's mother pulled Wang Taozhi and called out to her in-laws, and her face looked gloomy.
Met an opponent.
The tactic of retreating to advance is completely useless against this kind of old fox.
After returning home, He Xiaojie threw herself on the chair and burst into tears. Although she didn't say a word, anyone could hear that she was feeling aggrieved.
"Okay, why are you crying? Mom will find someone for you soon and get you out early. How can they come and snatch you away?"
He Chunsheng frowned, "What a stupid idea you have. One woman, two husbands. Will anyone listen to it if it gets out?"
"That's better than her marrying him. You've seen the behavior of that old man from the Xiao family today. He's short-sighted, fierce, and mean.
Both daughters-in-law dare not speak in front of her. If they really get married, will your daughter have a good life?"
"I know."
He Chunsheng was circling in place. "I'm worried that the Xiao family will come and make up stories during Xiaojie's wedding banquet to smear her innocence. It's hard to say whether this marriage can go through."
Pan Shuyu nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law, if we don't deal with the Xiao family, even if Xiaojie gets married in the future, there will always be people whispering nonsense in her husband's ears.
If this continues, how can the relationship between husband and wife be good? I heard that someone was hanged in your yard because of this before."
I thought of the female textile factory worker who was forced to death because of rumors, resulting in two deaths.
Wang Taozhi's heart was pounding, and she shuddered. "Why bring her up for no reason? Xiaojie has our support. If they really can't live together anymore, they can just divorce. It definitely won't end up like that."
He Ruixue listened to the whole thing and noticed a detail. She asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know when Xiaojie was born?"
"Who remembers? There were no clocks back then. I only know it was dark outside when I was born. Chunsheng, didn't you go to borrow a cart? Did you check the time?"
"No, I was thinking of buying you something to eat. I just came back and heard the nurse say you gave birth. It should have been early in the morning."
"Nonsense! It wasn't even midnight yet. It was just getting dark. I remember I had lunch. The engine didn't start until the afternoon."
"No, it was this morning. When I went to borrow the cart, Lao Li was still sleeping. He even said he would help me get leave tomorrow."
The two argued for a long time, and neither could convince the other.
It happened more than 20 years ago, and some forgotten details were filled in by my brain on its own, greatly reducing the authenticity.
As they were arguing, they looked at each other and were both stunned.
"yes!"
Wang Taozhi clapped her hands, "We don't even remember Xiaojie's birth chart, how did that idiot get it?"
He Ruixue analyzed, "Li Duoliang is not a talkative person, and he definitely won't talk too much about Xiaojie in front of Xiao Qing.
Since he knows so much, he must have asked around a long time ago. Everything else is easy to do, but he definitely won't be able to get the birth date."
"That kid doesn't tell the truth, and the fortune he showed must be fake."
But this matter was not important at all. Wang Taozhi did not understand what she meant. "Should we report him for practicing feudal superstition?"
"How come?"
During the marriage process, any family that is a little bit careful will privately match the horoscopes of the man and woman to pray for good luck.
This is a case of the law not holding everyone responsible. Even if they report it, it will only be verbal criticism, and the He family will be easily looked down upon.
"Sister-in-law, think about it, the horoscope in his hand is either a random guess or it doesn't exist at all. In any case, it is evidence that he is lying.
Xiaojie, I have a plan now, would you like to listen to it?"
He Xiaojie sniffed, wiped away her tears, and said in a hoarse voice, "Aunt, you still have an idea, tell me now."
"First, your parents should agree on a time to come out and check with Xiao Qing in front of everyone. If even the horoscopes don't match, the marriage can't go ahead."
"What if he turns the tables and says I wasn't honest from the beginning and gave him a fake horoscope?"
"That's not the key point. He's in need of a wife, so find him a suitable candidate."
He Ruixue turned to Jiang Yanxu and asked, "There should be someone in your funeral home who wants to arrange a ghost marriage. It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman. Get that person's horoscope and find a way to exchange it with the note in his hand.
I wonder if he can handle this newly-minted daughter-in-law."
Jiang Yanxu knew her bad taste and actually thought about it, "Many lesbians die unjustly, but few are arranged to marry after death. Most of them are men, and their families are afraid that they will be lonely in the underworld, so they look for a companion.
I have a suitable family here. His father was an official in the post office, and he was the only son in the family. He died of tuberculosis at the beginning of the year.
Arranging a ghost marriage for someone is too detrimental to one's virtue, so he always refuses decisively and advises the other party that such a thing will greatly affect the fortunes of future generations and that the family needs to be mentally prepared for decline within two generations.
