Chapter 64

Xu Ping always felt that he had many things to do. It was like coming to the wilderness alone. If he chose to find a place to lie down and sleep, pick a few fruits to eat when he was hungry, he could be free and easy. If he chose to make his life more comfortable, building a house, growing food, raising livestock, and being busy every day is also a way of living.

Now Xu Ping wants to build a house on his own, cultivate crops, domesticate livestock, and use his own hands to make the world more suitable for human life. So he can't rest and always feel that there are countless things waiting for him.

There is nothing right or wrong, nobility or humility, this is just Xu Ping's own choice.

Li Shen has been very busy these days. Xu Ping explained the basic principles of the cooperative clearly, so he went to investigate the river channel himself. If you really do things, it depends on Li Shen himself.

In the Jiang family's manor, Li Guan looked at the Jiang family's sister-in-law who was over 20 in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "You have already figured it out. You want to remarry others and not stay in the Jiang family?"

The woman lowered her head and said, "I am a wife, I am a wife, how can I do these things myself? My father and brother at home think that I am a woman who is guarding such a big countryside, and it is inconvenient. It is better to find a man who can support the family business to live. My wife has no opinion, so I can only listen to what they say."

"It is natural to think so, no one forces you to do it. But the case of the Jiang family father and son has not been settled yet, so it is decided if it is not good. But no matter what, it is true that the Jiang family father and son are gambling, and punishment is always inevitable. The government can sentence you and your wife to divorce. Since you are unwilling to wait, you can get rid of your marriage and go back to your parents' home and wait for news there."

The woman saluted: "Then she followed the instructions of the officials."

Li Shen said to Sun Biao beside him: "The Jiang family is not an ordinary family. The land accounts for most of Heyin County, so it is not careless. If you personally take someone to divide the property with the sister-in-law of the Jiang family, you must not take any of the Jiang family's property except for the jewelry and the dowry she was on when she entered the home. Of course, the dowry that belongs to her cannot be shortened at all."

Sun Biao Yingnuo, he is a record officer and joining the army. He is familiar with this kind of thing, just follow the rules.

The woman said, "My wife says it is difficult for me to do such things. Besides, being a wife and a daughter-in-law has been in this house for many years. How can I let go of it suddenly? As long as I wear it and use it with me, there is a small bag there, and the official can testify, so I will take it back to my parents' home. As for dowry, etc., my father and brother come to settle it."

Li Shen nodded: "That's good. When you go back to your parents' home, you can also ask your father or brother to come and live in the Jiang family to watch for the time being, so as not to have a dispute."

The woman said: "I don't understand these things, but I rely on the ideas of my father and brother at home."

There were many shopkeepers standing around, and they felt mixed feelings when they saw this scene. The father and son of the Jiang family were not kind-hearted and generous masters. They usually treated the shopkeepers and servants a lot, so these people were not sorry for the Jiang family. But after all, they still sighed when they lived in this family for many years. The Jiang family’s sister-in-law usually had a strong sense of existence at home, and basically did not care about the matter, and everyone could not talk about her likes and dislikes. Now that she saw her alone, many people sympathized with her.

Her children have long been taken away by others. They are mother and son, so their children are afraid of disturbing their mood here.

It cannot be blamed for the sister-in-law of the Jiang family at this point. Although the death penalty is carefully used at this time, the punishment of the Jiang family father and son is always inevitable. In this life, they may never be able to return to Heyin County. Even if they encounter a general amnesty, they will not know how many years will happen. They are wandering on the road. Who knows if they can last until that time?

How could a woman in her twenties be like a flower-like woman with the Jiang family and her son to suffer the ups and downs along the way? When she arrived at the place, she would wash and mend them, eat and drink, and most people would not choose to live such a life. She is not a lover who is unforgettable to the whole country. To put it bluntly, everyone just came together to live together.

As for waiting for her husband to come back at the Jiang family, she is not determined to make a decision. First, I don’t know if I can wait for it, and even if I come back, I don’t know if it’s a dead person. More importantly, I can’t hold on in a few years. Wouldn’t it be a waste of my youth? It’s getting more and more difficult for women to find a good family after this age.

After thinking about it, the best choice for this woman is to break it when she breaks, and choose to leave from the beginning.

Li Shen also felt that it was normal. Judging from the words just now, this woman was a smart person, pushing everything to her father and brother, so as not to say that she was dissatisfied. Moreover, when the property was distributed, her mother's family would be more relaxed than her, and could earn the greatest benefit for her. Seriously, she would all share the property of her children, and more or less others would not say anything good to her.

It is difficult for a clean official to make a decision on family affairs, and Li Shen doesn't bother with it, just maintain the principles.

If a husband commits a crime of absent or above, the wife can choose to go with him or divorce. At this time, no one can stop him. The government will judge and divorce according to the law, which is the normal divorce later. However, in this era, there is no concept of common property between husband and wife. The family wealth belongs to the man and is also left to the children of the family. The property that the woman can take away is one of his own clothes and jewelry, and the other is the dowry he brought when he comes to marry.

When getting married, the dowry brought is specially listed, and the official reports also exist. At this time, it is the order. Whether it is land or gold, silver and treasures, these are always the property of the woman, and only the woman can use it, and they will be taken away when she leaves. It is precisely for this reason that the amount of dowry determines the woman's status in the family. If there are too many dowry, the whole family has to rely on the woman to make a living, so she naturally keeps her word. If there are too few dowrys, she naturally has no status.

The magistrate of Heyin County, Yao Zeguang, has been seized from power, and the chief clerk Zhong Hui is even more unreliable. Now these miscellaneous matters are handled by Sun Biao, a record officer in Mengzhou. Because the Jiang family is involved too much, he is very cautious in doing it.

Li Shen didn't bother with this matter. What he needs to deal with now is what if the Jiang family has done so much land after the woman left? The property at home can be temporarily sealed, and the child can be hired to take care of it. A certain amount of money is allocated from his family's property on time every month. This is all done well, nothing special.

Only if the land of thousands of acres is as usual, the government will naturally recruit people to rent people and rent them. The land rent collected every year will be saved, and the children of the Jiang family will return it to them together as adults. This matter is easy to say, but it is actually quite tricky to do. Because tenants not only rent land, some also have to borrow oxen and farm tools from the owner, and some have to borrow seed canal mills, etc. Unless they hire a supervisor to deal with it, it will be difficult to manage it refreshingly.

However, if people are recruited, they will inevitably have to fill their pockets and transfer the Jiang family's property. This notorious thing will fall on the government. Otherwise, according to what Xu Ping said, these tenants will form cooperatives and rent the Jiang family's land in the name of cooperatives. But the cooperative sounds good. No one has done this before. What will happen if it is done?
