Xuanmen's mother-in-law was read in her mind, and the whole family got rich by eating melons

Chapter 42 Marriage Law in Dachu Households

"You bitch!" Liu Cuihua was so angry that her whole body trembled. Now, Meng Tan believed what she had calculated.

"Oh, Sister-in-law Liu, please keep your voice down. There are a bunch of people outside. If they hear that your daughter's future husband's family wants to break off the engagement, then your daughter will not survive."

Matchmaker Li said with a smile.

For a moment, Liu Cuihua felt her eyes going dark. Sisters Tian Xiu and Momota Yunxiang were quick to help Liu Cuihua.

"Tao'er and Axiang, you two help your mother to rest in the house."

Tian Dashan said with a black face.

After Liu Cuihua was helped away, Tian Dashan looked at Matchmaker Li, "Can you please tell the Wang family that if you want to break off the engagement, you have to tell me something. The wedding date was clearly set, but you regretted it at the end. I'm afraid it's not because of something in the Wang family. Dirty things?”

Seeing that Matchmaker Li was about to speak again, Tian Dashan raised his hand and his eyes were frighteningly cold.

"Don't scare my Tian family by breaking off the engagement. It's true that my daughter broke off the engagement before, and it's true that she will have a bad reputation if she breaks off the engagement. But my family is not that kind of family waiting to sell their daughter."

"If the Wang family wants to annul my daughter's marriage because of this, then I will go to Jixian Academy and go to the Yamen. Then we will see how shameless the Wang family is!"

It has to be said that Tian Dashan often sells mountain products in the town and has some knowledge. He immediately grasped what the Wang family cared about.

Matchmaker Li's expression changed, and she still hesitated when she thought of the benefits given by the Wang family. No matter how arrogant and arrogant the Tian family was, they were just mud-legged people who didn't understand etiquette, and they were the easiest to intimidate.

"Even if you go to court, your daughter won't take any action, big brother. There is a law in Chu State: Any married daughter who regrets the marriage without any reason will be punished with a sixty rod and the betrothal money will be returned. The Wang family just wants to hold the wedding in advance. , when it was brought to the court, it was also the Wang family's decision, but it was your daughter who was said to have been beaten with sixty sticks. After the beating, the person was useless."

Tian Dashan's face suddenly turned ugly and he could no longer suppress his anger. He slammed the table and glared at Matchmaker Li, "You are going too far! You..."

"Father-in-law, don't worry." Chen Changsheng held Tian Dashan back as he was about to run away, looking at Matchmaker Li with a faint look.

"I remember that at the beginning of last year, the current Empress Dowager promulgated the Household Marriage Law and revised the betrothal laws for men and women."

"Word: If the marriage contract has been exchanged, if the man's family regrets the marriage without any reason, he will be given thirty sticks, and he will be given back twice as much of the wedding wealth; if he regrets the marriage without any reason, and the daughter dies, he will be given twenty sticks, and one year's stay, and he will be given back twice as much of the wedding wealth. If the person has a thirty-year rod and three years of service, he will be given back twice as much of his wedding wealth. If he takes a risk and causes his daughter's death, he will receive a sixty-year rod and three years of service and he will be given back twice as much of his wedding wealth. If it is done, leave her."

Meng Tan was stunned. She knew that the ancient laws and regulations on the marriage of men and women were not very fair, and even favored the man.

But judging from what Hao Er'er said, the punishment for a man who regrets the marriage without any reason and secretly marries another person is very severe, not only beating with a cane, but also exile.

If the woman dies because of these suicides, the punishment will be even heavier.

You know, the current cane punishment is a slap on the back, which will kill you.

Is this empress dowager a time traveler?

At this moment, Chen Changsheng had already protected Tian Dashan behind him, and his gloomy eyes seemed to be spitting out fire.

"I have never heard of such a law in the household marriage law. This law is the law of the previous dynasty. Matchmaker Li, who gave you the courage to tamper with the Queen Mother's decree!"

Chen Changsheng yelled and asked, causing Matchmaker Li, who was so proud just now, to sit down on the ground in fright, muttering, "I, I..."

"You are a woman who doesn't know two or three words, and presumably you don't understand the law. How could you say such words? You must have been taught by the Wang family!"

"Does the royal family care about the previous dynasty and is dissatisfied with our dynasty?" Chen Changsheng asked him repeatedly. His words made Matchmaker Li's face change greatly, and an unspeakable smell emanated from her crotch.

Meng Tan thinks Haoer'er is so handsome right now!

[Quick, Erlang, take advantage of this opportunity, before Matchmaker Li has handed over the marriage certificate of the Wang family, and ask your father-in-law to beat him out. When he is beaten out, he will also announce to the people in the village that the Wang family will marry before the court. Use the household marriage law of the previous dynasty to force the Tian family to marry their daughters early. The Tian family is loyal to our dynasty and will never marry such a family who is close to the previous dynasty. ]
  The marriage certificate is usually given on the day the betrothal is presented.

If this hat is put on the Wang family, maybe Tian Xiutao's reputation will be even better.

Meng Tan reminded with bright eyes.

Chen Changsheng's spirit was shaken. He turned around and reminded his father-in-law in a low voice, "My father-in-law, break off the engagement immediately. I will handle the rest. Don't worry."

Tian Dashan came back to his senses and looked at Chen Changsheng's eyes with great satisfaction. If he had looked down on Chen Changsheng because of Zhu's affairs before, now he was extremely satisfied.

Sure enough, families with talented people are different.

Brothers are all capable.

"Matchmaker Li, take those betrothal gifts from the Wang family and go back to the Wang family. We don't want this marriage!"

"This, this, big brother, what do you say, the Wang family..."

Matchmaker Li was already panicking, especially when she heard the name of the Empress Dowager. People with flat heads had never heard of such expensive words before. She didn't know how to refute Chen Changsheng, and her words were all messed up.

"Get lost! The Wang family wants my daughter to die, I won't let it go like this!"

Suddenly, Liu Cuihua, who had been taken to rest by her two daughters, rushed out and jumped on Matchmaker Li, scratching and scratching her.

The two women soon started fighting each other. Liu Cuihua fought fiercely, pulling out Matchmaker Li's hair, slapping her twice, and scolding her at the same time.

"The Wang family is asking you to plot against my daughter! You're such a filthy old thing! You damn bitch, a maggot in a cesspool, and you're a scholar. Bah, I think I'm worse than a dung picker. Why don't you put it back in your mother's belly and recreate it? …”

Many people from Tianjia Village jumped at the door.

Meng Tan opened his mouth in an O shape, indicating that he had learned it. How many other descriptions could there be for this curse?
  My dear old lady is so tough.

Meng Tan was not afraid of watching the excitement. When he saw that there were many people at the door, he immediately rushed over to pat Chen Changsheng on the arm.

[Hurry up and spread the word about the Wang family's closeness to the previous dynasty, otherwise your aunt's reputation will be ruined. ]
  Chen Changsheng had never seen a woman fighting before, so he was stunned when he fucked her. Then he realized what he was doing and shouted loudly.

"My fellow villagers, please bear witness. There is something dirty in the Wang family. Today, I asked matchmaker Li to persuade my father-in-law to let my eldest sister get married half a month early."

"My in-laws' family is a very polite family, so they said that everything was settled and could not be violated. Who would have thought that this matchmaker Li would use the previous dynasty's household marriage law to threaten my in-laws' family? This matchmaker Li is from a womanly family, how could she know these things? She must be From the teachings of the Wang family, it can be seen that the Wang family is close to the former dynasty from the bottom of their hearts."

"We are all from Dachu, farmers who are responsible for our duties. We dare not get involved with such people. Do you think we should break off the engagement?"

"It's time to retreat! Oh my God, a family like this might be a traitor. If we don't retreat, our daughter's life will be lost."

"That's right, I asked you why a scholar from the Wang family came to the countryside to find a wife and a house. It turns out he has such a shameful status."
