auspicious time has come

Chapter 26 "Housework" (first order requested)
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the woman whom he regarded as an object to show off her "masculinity" clenched her teeth, and her tears became more and more violent.

Heng Yu clenched her fingers tightly.

She probably understood.

In the "Auspicious Time for Marriage and Engagement" promulgated by the imperial court not long ago, there are regulations for assigning lowly women as wives for those men or widowers whose families are poor and who have missed the marriage age.

Because of their low status, these women have no choice or rejection at all, they can only follow the arrangements.

At first when she heard about this regulation when she was in the capital, she already felt uncomfortable, but now that she has seen it with her own eyes, she realizes that there are too many disadvantages.

These men who are too young to marry wives, except those who are disabled, are mostly lazy people, or have a bad character. It is difficult for such people to support themselves. How can they be qualified to marry?
There is also the gesture of killing people at will after marrying them——

Heng Yu suppressed the anger surging in her heart, looked at the man and said: "You said something wrong, since she has married you, she is no longer a lowly person, but a good citizen."

This is the court's so-called amnesty. According to the rules, the good and the poor cannot marry.

But to the woman in front of her, is this really grace?

"Even if she becomes a good citizen under my honor!" the man said without fear, "Could it be that if I beat her twice, she can still go to the government to sue me?"

Seeing more and more onlookers, the man enjoying this kind of attention became more and more complacent. He bent down and grabbed the woman's hair, forcing her to raise her head, and asked, "Do you have the guts to go to the government? Wife tell husband, that's true!" Go to jail!"

The woman clenched her teeth and shed tears, looked in Hengyu's direction, and shook her head slightly.There was gratitude in his eyes, but more despair.

Hengyu understood that this lady was telling herself not to worry about this matter, because she knew very well that she couldn't escape, and she didn't even dare to think about anything else.

When a husband beats his wife, no one can intervene, and if the wife does not report, the official will not investigate.

But even if the wife tells the husband, even if it is true, it will take two years.In the end, the husband may only get a few boards, but the wife who was beaten will go to jail instead.

To put it bluntly - yes, it is wrong for your husband to beat you, you can sue him, but if you sue him, you will go to jail yourself.

Therefore, it is useless to sue the husband for being abused and beaten. Is the person who established this law contradicting himself or carelessly omitting it?

No, legislators know what that means, more soberly and hypocritically than anyone else.

But this ridiculous regulation, which is unfair to women everywhere, is clearly written in the Dasheng law, and there is not even any loophole to exploit.

"Don't worry about other people's family affairs..."

"How can there be no dispute between husband and wife?"

"I can't even slap a slap, maybe it's..."

"That's right, we don't know the inside story, so let the couple go home and solve it on their own."

"It's hard for an upright official to break up housework, so you better not meddle in it, little lady." A man beside Hengyu shook his head and said.

Jiji was so angry that she couldn't bear it: "It's clear that you are the real mess! If you don't help, just talk sarcastic! People are beaten up like this, what kind of family business is this?"

"Stinky bitch, don't embarrass me here! Let's go!" Hearing the voices from all around, the man seemed to gain more confidence, and slapped the woman heavily on the face.

The woman was beaten until blood flowed out of her nose, and she stood up tremblingly. The shoe on one foot was lost somewhere, and there was also a scar on her bare instep.

"I guess my little Seventeen must still take care of it."

In a teahouse opposite Jingshui Building, Yan Jin, who was drinking tea by the window on the second floor, looked at the situation on the street, and said to the servant beside him in a firm tone.

The woman followed the man and was about to leave.

The onlookers dispersed a lot upon seeing this, and to most of them, they were just watching an ordinary bustle.

However, Heng Yu couldn't treat this matter as a so-called excitement.

In the north in October, the cold wind was bitter, and the thin figure in the coarse cloth dress looked extremely thin. She walked behind the man, as if she might fall down again in the next moment.

And after she fell down, what awaited her was punching and kicking again.

"and many more!"

Heng Yu suddenly made a sound.

That figure froze, and turned around slowly, in a pair of eyes that had been worn down by life, there was clearly a trace of unspeakable hope, just like the last embers.

"Would my lady be willing to end her marriage with this man?" Heng Yu asked.

"Yi... Yi Jue?" The woman murmured, as if she didn't understand what it meant.

Heng Yu: "There is a rule in the Dasheng Law that if a husband beats his wife and causes serious injury, the wife can go to the government to request a forced dissolution of the relationship."

There was some expression on the woman's face when she heard the words, and she was uncertain; "But I'm a cheap..."

The lowly people have no human rights at all, and the law often does not uphold justice for them.

"Since you are married to him, you are a good citizen. Since you are a good citizen now, the same applies naturally!" Heng Yu looked at her and asked again: "Would you like it, my lady?"

"I……"

Before the woman could answer, she was interrupted by the man sharply: "Don't listen to her nonsense! Wife sue husband? Don't even think about it!"

Heng Yu said coldly: "Who said you are going to sue? This lady just went to the government to ask for justice, not to sue the government to punish you for your atrocities."

Although it is too cheap to let this person go, but this is the only "loophole" she can think of.

In this way, at least this lady can be saved from the flames.

But in the end it depends on whether the lady can make up her mind.

"Don't even think about it!" The man seemed to be a little panicked, he held the woman's arm tightly, and threatened: "If you dare to fight against me, you will return to your lowly status and be your lowly slave! Don't even think about being a human being for the rest of your life! "

"So what! Why did you ever treat me like a human being?" The woman suddenly raised her voice, stopped her tears, and said courageously: "Even if I go back to the mine, it's better than facing your disgusting face all day long! Bah! "

"You little bitch, you still spit at me! Looks like I hit me lightly!" The man was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to hit again. Hengyu was about to signal Jiji to come forward, when he saw Meng Dazhu slapped him from the corner of his eye. Walking forward, he grabbed Jiji's hand.

It couldn't be better for Meng Dazhu to come forward.

Meng Dazhu, who was kicked on the ass by his own general, grabbed the man's raised wrist.

Although it was ordered by the general, he has long since disliked this incompetent person who can only bully women!
The man was anxious and annoyed at this time, and the wrist being grabbed by the young man was in pain, and he immediately cursed: "What kind of son of a bitch are you! Just mind your own business!"

"Okay, you dare to scold him?!" Jiji almost jumped up and said, "He is the captain of Dingbeihou, and he has an official position! Those who insult officials, girl, what do you say?"

"Insulting officials below the sixth rank, the staff is ninety."

Meng Dazhu couldn't react in time - huh?How could he be so useful?
