In the yard, Yang Min carefully operated the spinning wheel while imagining the scene of trampling the Song family underfoot and avenging her family. She became more and more excited and her eyes couldn't help but turn red!
In the kitchen, Lin Xu held Ruolan in his arms.
Although the two were already an old couple, it was still daytime after all, and Yang Min was still in the yard. Ruolan was very embarrassed and wanted to break away, but Lin Xu touched her twice, and her body
It immediately softened into a puddle of mud and fell into Lin Xu's arms, letting you pick it up.
"Ruolan, I want to keep Yang Min here, but not as a second roommate, but to open a textile workshop. She knows her stuff, so I want her to be the shopkeeper."
Lin Xu gently touched Ruolan's body and said softly.
"Guanren, I think you'd better take Xiao Min as your second wife. She's quite pitiful and a nice person..."
"You've only known her for a few days, how do you know she's a nice person?"
"Although I've only known her for a few days, I do think she's a nice person, and we can get along quite well... Besides, you kept her in our home, but you didn't accept her as a second wife.
, when other people ask who she is, what should we say?"
"Didn't she just say that she is your cousin?"
"But, I'm afraid that other people will gossip..."
Ruolan found one reason after another in order for Lin Xu to accept Yang Min as his second wife.
"Whoever wants to talk can go ahead. Anyway, we won't eat from his family! Silly girl, why are you so keen on finding a second room for me? Aren't you afraid that I will neglect you after I find a second room?"
As Lin Xu spoke, he reached out and rubbed Ruolan's head.
"Guanren, this is what I should do. Ruolan is not a jealous woman! If Guanren neglects me, then I think it's not because Guanren found a second wife, but because Ruolan didn't do a good job and provoked me.
The officials are disgusted..."
"..."
Lin Xu couldn't say anything. He just felt that Ruolan's humble attitude was really heartbreaking!
Of course, this cannot be blamed on Ruolan's lack of independent personality. It must be blamed on this era, which has poisoned women so much that it has been engraved in their bones.
"Besides, I've been married to you for a year, but my stomach hasn't moved at all..."
Speaking of this, Ruolan's eyes dimmed.
"Oh, you silly girl!"
Lin Xu finally understood why Ruolan was so keen on finding a second room for herself. It turned out that in the final analysis, it was because she had no children.
In the Daning Dynasty, which ruled the world with filial piety, giving birth to a child was almost the most important thing for every woman, because it was a direct manifestation of filial piety.
If you are still unable to conceive a child one year after getting married, it will definitely become a heartache for the woman.
According to a survey by relevant departments, more than 80% of the women who were divorced by their husbands in the Daning Dynasty over the years were because they were unable to have children...
For this reason, when many women are infertile, they are always keen to find concubines for their husbands in order to regain their husbands' favor and avoid suffering a tragic fate.
In addition, according to the system of the Daning Dynasty, even if a concubine gave birth to a child, the child legally belonged to the principal wife. They would call the principal wife "mother" and their own mother "
"Aunt".
This also further promoted the trend of wives looking for concubines for their husbands!
The concubine, on the other hand, was completely reduced to a miserable reproductive tool.
Of course, Ruolan might not have expected so much, but after being married to the Lin family for more than a year, she still couldn't get pregnant, which obviously became a worry for her.
Lin Xu stretched out his hand and rubbed Ruolan's head, and said softly: "Did you remember what the elder brother said last time? In fact, I didn't mean it at all, I was just joking with the elder brother casually.
That’s all, why are you deliberately ill? I’m just twenty this year and you’re only nineteen, why are we having a baby so soon? It won’t be too late to have a baby in five or six years, seven or eight years!”
"How can you have a baby in five, six, or seven or eight years?"
"Um... I'm just making an analogy. In short, I'm really not in a hurry right now."
"That won't work! Although Ruolan hasn't read a book for a few days, she has heard people say: There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having children. Since I married into the Lin family, it is my responsibility to raise children for the Lin family! Otherwise,
I don’t even have the shame to kowtow to the ancestors of the Lin family.”
Originally, Lin Xu wanted to talk to her about how women should have independent personalities, have their own pursuits, and even have their own careers. They should strive to live their lives the way they like, and they must not reduce themselves to a machine for giving birth to children.
!
However, seeing Ruolan looking so serious, he really couldn't express these truths.
Besides, Ruolan didn't have such thoughts overnight, so how could she change her mind with just a few words? This chapter has been completed!
