Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family
Chapter 6: Marrying Three Husbands
Mother Gu quickly waved her hands and said, "Ayao, don't say that. It's great to have you in our family. You see, those families without daughters are bullied to death. Our Gu family is still highly regarded because of you. So you have to study hard and strive to pass the imperial examination."
Gu Yao nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I will study hard, and I will go for the imperial examination in February next year, so don't worry."
Mother Gu was very happy: "That's good, that's good."
Gu Yao sent her mother to the town gate and said to her, "Mom, be careful when you go back. Don't get delayed on the road. Although it's very peaceful here, we're afraid of accidents."
"Then you should go back to the private school as soon as possible. I will go back and send a letter to my family if there is anything."
Mother Gu thought of Father Gu's instructions at home and said quickly, "Oh, Ayao, what kind of man do you like? I'll ask your father to propose marriage. You'll be sixteen soon and need to marry a husband, otherwise the government will assign one to you. Do you want to marry one first or all three at once? The family will prepare for you."
When Gu Yao heard this, she felt like she had really forgotten what this world was like. She could only whisper, "Mom, you and Dad can handle it. Mom, please go back. It's too late."
Mother Gu listened to Gu Yao's words and nodded, her eyes full of smiles. She was very happy to hold her granddaughter in her arms when she thought about Gu Yao getting married next year. Although there were many things to do, she was in good spirits and quickly returned to Gujia Village.
Looking at Gu's mother's back, Gu Yao was speechless. How could she forget the customs of this world? Women here have to marry at least three husbands, even if you are poor. Otherwise, they will be assigned by the government.
After all, this is also the emperor's way of increasing the population. Although Gu Yao had gained her memory before, she had not thought about this aspect. Now, after listening to her mother's words, she knew that she had to marry.
She didn't have the ability to change the rules. She was just an ordinary citizen. If she let her family arrange it, she might be able to marry a good one. If she let the government assign someone, some ugly people with bad character would be randomly assigned.
But she doesn't want to get married yet, what should she do? Can she only integrate into this world and get married early?
When she returned to the dormitory, her hair was all torn and she didn't know what to do.
Her desk mate Wang Yang came back, thinking that since she was a native after all, she should know what to do.
"Sister Wang has something I want to ask you. Is it convenient?"
Wang Yang was reading a book. When he heard what Gu Yao said, he looked up and smiled: "What's the matter?"
"I don't know if Sister Wang is married. My mother came back to see me just now and said she wanted to find a husband for me. But as you know, I have been studying all the time and have not yet had the heart to get married."
Wang Yang looked her up and down and said with a smile, "Of course I am married. I only have two husbands now, and I still need one. After all, according to the laws of this dynasty, women must marry three husbands, otherwise the government will randomly assign one to them. I don't want to obey them. Who knows what kind of husband they will assign to me? So I will wait for the third husband until next year. I will marry one after I pass the examination. I didn't expect that you are not married yet. I remember that you are almost sixteen, so you must ask your mother to find you a husband quickly, at least one, otherwise the government will assign one to you."
Gu Yao was shocked. She really felt that Wang Yang was a person who could not be judged by appearance. She was so young but already had two husbands. She just listened to her words and said timidly: "Sister Wang, is it okay not to marry? After all, we are still young. It would be a pity to get married so early."
Wang Yang shook his head and said, "That won't do. This dynasty has had many natural and man-made disasters, especially after the events of the previous dynasty, the population has been decreasing. That's why the laws of this dynasty allow women to marry three husbands. It's also for the sake of the country. As women, if we are not willing to contribute to the country even with such a small thing, then we are not worthy of being women. So, sister Gu, you should get married as soon as possible. It's also a good thing to get married and have two children a year."
Gu Yao wiped the cold sweat off her face under her beating, knowing that she couldn't escape, so she could only sigh: "Then I can only listen to my mother and marry a husband when the time comes. But my family is so poor, if I marry three, I won't be able to support them. I still have to see how I can make money."
Wang Yang looked surprised when she heard her words. She didn't expect Gu Yao to say directly that she didn't have money to support her husband. She used to have a very high self-esteem and would never say these things to others. She asked her to borrow money before, and now she said that her family was poor. She felt that Gu Yao had really changed.
Gu Yao had already repaid the money Wang Yang had lent her. She never owed anyone money. She would feel uncomfortable if she didn't pay it back.
Time has passed quickly since Gu's mother came to see her. Gu Yao spent part of her time studying and the rest of her time making money. Fortunately, she had saved some capital. Not only did she copy books in a bookstore, she even got a job as an accountant in a restaurant with the help of Wang Yang. Although it was a temporary job, she did make a lot of money.
It was the end of August and it was her holiday, so she went to the street and bought a lot of things. She even bought some hairbands and small jewelry for the men in her family. She took the things she had and took a ox cart back to Gujia Village.
On the way, they also met people from Gujia Village. Seeing Gu Yao carrying so many bags, they asked curiously, "Ayao, why are you buying so many things? Your family is broke, right? You should save more money, or you won't even be able to afford meat. Besides, Didi is getting married soon, so don't be too poor to pay for your dowry."
Is this person an uncle from their Gujia Village? However, Gu Yao would not let her laugh at her. She said with a smile, "I made a little money by copying books before, so I can still afford to eat meat. After all, if a grown woman like me cannot support my family, people will say bad things about me. Uncle Li, don't worry about my family's affairs. You and I have nothing to do with each other. There is no need to meddle in other people's affairs."
When Uncle Li heard Gu Yao saying that she was meddling in other people's business, his face changed. "Girl Gu, don't think that you are capable just because you have studied for more than a year. You are still a poor guy. Besides, there are several people in your family wearing the same pair of pants. You are still dreaming of wealth and glory. Your family will never have such a fate."
The reason why Li Shumo hates the Gu family is because he has no money to marry, so he falls in love with Gu's mother. Unfortunately, Gu's mother doesn't like him and only likes Gu's father. In the end, she married both of Gu's father's brothers, so Li Shumo can't see them get along well.
Later, he felt very proud when he saw that Gu's family was getting poorer and poorer and couldn't even afford clothes.
Although the Liu family was poor, at least they could eat meat all year round, so he no longer missed Gu's mother. However, he still resented Gu's mother for looking down on him, which he felt was an insult to him.
So he would bully Gu's mother's family whenever he found an opportunity. Now seeing Gu Yao actually studying, he would insult her every time he saw her.
