"Three no-goes" means that if a wife and her husband jointly mourn her parents-in-law for three years, they will "no go"; if a wife was poor and humble when she married her husband, but when her husband becomes famous, she will "no go"; if a wife loses her natal family and has no one to rely on, she will "no go".
"Go" and "Three Don't Go" protect women's rights to a certain extent.
After Liu Cong implemented reforms in Jingchu, he not only encouraged women to engage in productive labor, but also issued dozens of decrees to safeguard women's rights and interests.
One of them is reconciliation and divorce. When the relationship between husband and wife is no longer sustainable, and the woman does not make any mistakes, if both parties agree, they can discuss reconciliation and divorce.
Regarding the seven things, Liu Cong retained five of them: unfilial piety to parents, adultery, jealousy, talkativeness, and theft. If these five things are violated, the husband's family can divorce his wife.
The factors such as childlessness and serious illness were eliminated. In Liu Cong's view, if a woman has no children, she will be even more helpless if she divorces her. It is even more inhumane to divorce his wife if she has a serious illness.
Besides, even if Liu Cong strongly supports medical development, the level of medical skills in this era cannot cure infertility. And the inability to give birth to a child may not be the woman's problem.
Divorce is different from divorce. If the wife has no ability to survive, the husband's family must pay part of the property or land to the divorced wife. And it is a lump sum payment!
Seeing the woman's magnanimous appearance, Liu Cong felt a little admiration, "Why? Sister-in-law, you don't look like that kind of bad woman, do you?"
The landlady smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm not very good at it. I've been with him for eighteen years, but I only gave birth to three daughters. After the king captured Jiangdong, my husband's family took advantage of the reform to engage in business and earned some money.
I want a son to carry on the family line."
"Bang!"

Cao Rou'er was still chewing cakes in her mouth, her cheeks were bulging, but she ignored it, slapped the table and said angrily, "You are really not a thing. I abandoned you when I got money. I don't blame you if I can't give birth to a son."
"
Liu Cong was shocked. He had always thought that Cao Rou'er was also the kind of gentle and virtuous woman. Little did he know that Cao Rou'er used to be a woman from a big family. At the age of seventeen, she was the most energetic time in her life.
Due to the family's decline and displacement, her temperament was suppressed a lot. After following Liu Cong for such a long time, she finally returned to her true nature.
The landlady sighed and said, "Oh, I don't blame him. He didn't mean to blame me. It's a pity that his mother scolded her every day, which made the whole family uneasy. In the end, it was me who brought up the matter of reconciliation with him.
"
As if she was talking about her sadness, the landlady wiped away her tears and continued, "I have been with him for eighteen years, and we treat each other as respectful guests. When our family is getting better and better, I still want to give him a son. Who would have thought?"
...His mother is forcing her to die..."
"He is not bad, and he treats me well, otherwise he would not have given me this shop after we reconciled. This is all fate..."
Now that the words have reached this point, Liu Cong has no way to comfort him.
Let alone this era, in the 21st century, there are countless couples who have broken up because of conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Didn't Lu You, the famous literary giant of the Song Dynasty, have to separate from his beloved Tang Wan because of his mother's force?
It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, so Liu Cong thought that he was pretty good as the king of Chu. He could handle everything from the military and political affairs of a country to the small affairs in the market.
Tadu Xiao~. said - it's free, no ads, no pop-ups, and you can interact with book friends.
But facing this kind of thing, he really couldn't think of any good way. He couldn't force people to go back in the name of King Chu, right?
The woman wiped away her tears and sobbed, and Cao Rouer gently patted her on the back and comforted her in a low voice.
Liu Cong looked at this scene and sighed. There is nothing perfect in the world. After Tang Wan left Lu You, there would still be Zhao Shicheng who loved her. The woman in front of him may have been helpless.
Not to mention that Heli gave her such a shop, but in ordinary times, the custody rights of the children, women in this era have almost no possibility of getting involved in this aspect!
Besides, Lu You, Tang Wan, and Zhao Shicheng are also tragedies. This kind of tragedy is not limited to the woman in front of him. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. He can find ways to increase productivity and make the people of Chu live a better life.
Some.
But this kind of family has short-term interests, and he, the King of Chu, cannot meddle in other people's affairs.
"Is there anyone else in your family?" Cao Rouer asked.
The woman cried even harder, burying her head on Cao Rouer's chest. "When I was with him, my whole family disagreed and disliked his family being poor. After I got married, my father directly broke off the relationship with me."
"Now...now...now I am a lonely ghost with neither my husband's family nor my mother's family. What's the use of this shop? In the future, when I die, no one will even take care of my funeral affairs, wuwu
Woo..."
The woman is not young, she looks to be in her thirties. A woman of this age has been divorced. It is simply unreasonable to want to remarry in this era.

Even the mud-legged woman who is having a hard time with her may not necessarily marry her! This is a matter of face! The most fundamental thing is the stubborn feudal thinking in the hearts of people of this era.
Liu Cong looked at Cao Rou'er helplessly. It's okay not to ask. But if you ask, won't it make her feel even more uncomfortable?
The shop became quiet for a while, except for the sound of a woman sobbing silently.
After crying for a while, the woman straightened up and wiped her tears. She smiled apologetically at Cao Rou'er and said, "I'm sorry, sister. I couldn't hold it back all of a sudden and you got all dirty."
"It's okay, it's okay. What's this? Sister-in-law, you are really pitiful."
Cao Rou'er looked at Liu Cong with pleading eyes, "Husband, let's help this sister-in-law?"
Liu Cong's mind is filled with dark threads. This girl really doesn't use her brain to talk. How can he help? Do you really think that since he is the King of Chu, he can do anything?
Have you ever seen people already like this? Let’s just finish eating and leave. You are so full of love that you insist on continuing on this topic.
"Husband..."
Seeing that Liu Cong didn't answer for a long time, Cao Rou'er used her special skill - act cute and coquettish!

Liu Cong smiled bitterly. Women in this era are very conservative in their thinking. However, this girl didn't care about this. Even in full view of the public, she dared to release her nature.
Maybe I just fell in love with her innocence under her sorrow that day.
"Rou'er, it's not that I won't help with this, you said my sister-in-law and..."
"Husband... think about it, if my sister-in-law really doesn't have any relatives in the future, she will be really lonely and pitiful." Cao Rouer's words "husband" made me laugh.
Liu Cong took a sip of his tea and stopped talking. Go on, say it, you can say it with all your strength. Now you are just talking nonsense. Can I help you with this matter?
He is a human, not a god!
This girl has been spoiled these days. Do you really think that you can do anything for her? How dare you interrupt yourself? I’ll deal with you when I get back!
Seemingly sensing Liu Cong's intention, the landlady smiled and smoothed things over and said, "Sister, don't embarrass your husband. He can't help me with this kind of thing. I feel much better if I can tell you.
Just talk too much, but don’t get you into trouble."
"Sister, you and your husband seem to be in harmony. I guess he loves you very much, right?"
