Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty
Chapter 6: Persuading Mother to Divorce
She was unable to resist and her reputation was ruined. She was already extremely depressed. Who would have thought that the old man would insult her in public? She jumped into the Bian River in anger.
Thanks to her past life, it seems now that a bad reputation means nothing. What the hell is filial piety? Such a father is not worthy of her respect!
He had only been in a coma for more than two months, and the old man dared to let a woman from outside come into the house with a big belly, dared to slap his wife in the bookstore, and dared to abandon his wife and daughter for the unborn bastard.
If she was in a coma for half a year, wouldn't her whole family be forced to death by him!
"Mother is so angry, could it be that she is still hoping that this unfaithful man will change his mind one day?"
Qi lowered her head and said nothing, just shed tears secretly. Second wife Yunxi was so angry that she went to shake A Niang's arm.
"Mother, please stop being confused. He changed his mind because he had no other choice. He spent all the money that I worked so hard to earn on wine and women, and never thought about home. The money for my sister's medicine was paid by you pawning your bracelet. If he comes back without money one day, what can you pawn for him?"
"Even though my father has taken out my heart, has he ever thought about cherishing it?"
Under the repeated questioning of the Second Lady, Qi couldn't help but hugged her daughter and burst into tears: "Mother, what can we do? We can only live one day at a time. At worst, we can all jump into the Bian River together and put an end to it all!"
Yunxi was considering A'niang, but it was inappropriate to be so harsh in words at the moment. Liu Yunqing tugged at his second sister's sleeve and pulled A'niang to persuade her.
"Since mother is determined to support the three of us sisters, has mother ever thought about divorcing father? That would save her from being bullied and beaten by him all day long."
Qi nodded: "Of course I have thought about it, but once A Niang divorces, I am afraid it will affect the reputation of the three of you. Yun Qing has already... How dare I let you bear the reputation of a family that is not harmonious."
Liu Yunqing smiled softly: "Mother, I feel relieved when you say that. You don't have to worry about our reputation. I am already the unlucky star in the eyes of others. How much worse can I be?"
"If people look down on my sisters because of this, then we can only say that those people believe everything they hear. Even if we get married, life may not be good. In my and my sister's opinion, as long as mother can escape this hell, we mothers won't have to worry about not having a good life in the future."
"Mother knows my daughter's ability. Even if we lose our bookstore, I can still make our family live a good life by selling herbal tea in the streets. With money in hand, we can find husbands for our sisters and let them do whatever they want. Isn't that even better!"
When Qi heard this, she couldn't help but smile through her tears and gently hit her daughter's arm.
"You bastard, you dare to say such nonsense in front of your sisters. If others knew, they would laugh at you."
Yunxi is thirteen years old this year, and she felt a little embarrassed when she heard her sister's words, but she has always had a quick temper and cannot stand any grievance, so she just agreed even though she felt embarrassed.
"I think what my sister said makes sense. Mother, I won't get married. I'll just find a son-in-law to honor you for the rest of my life!"
After a while of nonsense, Qi finally figured it out: "Then tomorrow, mother will go to the bookstore to find your father and quickly write a divorce letter to send to the government, so that she won't have to endure his anger anymore!"
"But even though your mother is divorced, you are still considered the children of the Liu family. Your mother may not be able to take you away openly. I will write to your uncles and ask them to think of a way. Even if you don't want any dowry, your mother still wants you."
How could a mother suffer a loss and have to pay for a divorce and fight for the custody of the child? This is a good deal for that couple. Liu Yunqing didn't say anything for a moment, thinking carefully.
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the customs of the Northern Song Dynasty were quite open, and women still had some freedom, but they still did not have a say in divorce.
Currently, there are three ways for a couple to divorce. One is that the wife has not committed any of the seven grounds for divorce and both spouses agree to the divorce. If they still want to divorce after mediation by the government, they will sign a divorce agreement and send it to the government, and from then on they are no longer husband and wife.
The second is that the wife committed one of the seven offenses and the husband divorced her; the third is that one party sued the other for domestic violence.
If a husband beats his wife, it will not count if she is not injured. If she is injured, the husband's crime will be reduced by two levels. If the wife asks for a divorce, the divorce will be granted. If she does not want to divorce, she is allowed to redeem the sentence with silver. If he beats his wife to death, he will be hanged.
On the other hand, if a wife beat her husband, even if she did not injure him, she would be beaten with a hundred boards. If he was injured, her crime would be three times more serious. If he was disabled, the wife would be hanged. If she accidentally killed her husband, she would be beheaded. If she deliberately killed her husband, she would be executed by slow slicing.
Such differential treatment is already quite unfair, and there is another unfair law standing in the way of women.
That is, if a wife sues her husband because she is subjected to domestic violence, she will have to serve two years in jail to pay for her act of suing.
Therefore, after much thought, it seems that a "peaceful breakup" between the two parties is the best solution for A Niang. She must be willing to sacrifice her life to regain her freedom.
But my mother was not from Bian Jing, and she had no daughter or dowry, so she had no choice but to return to her parents' home in Jiangning.
She had heard her mother talk about her family before. Although she was the youngest daughter and her family ran a cloth shop and had enough money to support her mother, her uncles also had their own families, especially her eldest uncle who already had grandchildren.
Living with this large family of relatives, a total of four families, just thinking about it, there is no peace at all.
Besides, their father had no talent for business at all. The only reason he was able to marry their mother was because their grandfather was a minor official and had some connections with the Qi family.
My father was unable to study, so he opened a bookstore with the help of my mother's huge dowry and saved some wealth. Later, he opened a second bookstore with the help of his daughter. He spent his days in leisure and happiness.
If I leave all this wealth to my father in vain, it would be better to burn down the bookstore.
Fortunately, in her previous life, Liu Yunqing handled public relations crises for celebrities and had a lot of dealings with legal affairs. Since she couldn't ask her mother to sue her father to fight for her, she, as the eldest wife, had to step in.
As for another article in the Song Dynasty law, if children sued their parents for being unfilial among the "Ten Evils", they would be sentenced to death in serious cases. Liu Yunqing naturally did not take it seriously.
As a daughter, it is not easy for her to sue her father, but isn't there someone else she can sue?
It is not against the law for her to sue the "Second Lady".
Liu Yunqing had an idea in his mind and advised A Niang not to act rashly.
"Mother, listen to me. Not only can you and father get a smooth divorce, but your dowry and the two bookstores can also be recovered. By then, the only things father can hold on to are this ancestral home and the baby Yaozu in that woman's belly."
The third lady was only five years old. As her mother and sisters cried and laughed too much, they fell asleep on the bed early. Liu Yunqing hugged the third lady with one hand and gave detailed instructions to her mother and the second lady.
The two of them were amazed and couldn't help laughing. Finally, they nodded repeatedly and agreed to follow Liu Yunqing's plan.
