Chapter 176: Beat up the Domestic Violence Man on Orders!
"My wife listens to me! She is a member of my Chen family in life and a ghost of my Chen family in death. Of course, all the money she earns belongs to my Chen family!"
A tall and strong man with dark skin, holding a hammer in his hand, his arm as thick as a bowl, pulled the young wife who dared not say a word and trembled, and glared at Aunt Pei.
"What's so great about the queen in the palace? Even the Lord of Heaven can't control what we do behind closed doors!"
"My husband, I will give you the wages when the time comes. Don't lose your temper and go home." The timid wife was so anxious that she was about to cry.
At the gate of the sewing yard, there were already many mothers-in-law, daughters-in-law, girls who wanted to sign up, and men watching the fun.
She was dragged and scolded by the man, and she couldn't even lift her head. She just wanted to run away.
“到时给我?”这打铁男人一捏拳头,“你这婆娘生了自己藏钱的心思,谁晓得你到时有没有偷藏,藏起来多少!”
“什么时候发钱,只能我来领!”男人瞪向裴大婶,挥拳头威胁。
裴大婶气得直喘息,“陈大柱,你可真能耐,女人的辛苦钱也要贪……”
“你问问我媳妇,”陈大柱瞪眼,抓着自己胆怯媳妇就往身前拖,“她敢不敢,怕不怕我揍她!”
说着,他拳头变为巴掌,就要朝这女子脸上扇去。
季家姐妹看地几乎发抖。
这就是女人的婚后生活?
父母之命,媒妁之言。
要女子嫁,她们不得不嫁。
可嫁过去后,谁来保障她们的婚后生活?
若是这样被随意打骂,没有半分自主,人财两空,父母兄长可会救她们?
媒妁之言,又应在何处?可会负责?
The Ji sisters were terrified and uneasy.
"What? Jingguo is like this too! I thought it would be different..." The maid Xiaoyuan turned pale.
"Chen Dazhu, if you dare to hit her, I will report to the police now!" Aunt Pei and the other two sewing aunts rushed up.
"Report, report!" Chen Dazhu was fearless, and it was obviously not the first time he hit the woman in the family.
"Hey, isn't that the patrolling Xu who is drinking tea over there? Xu, you are going to arrest me or not? I teach my wife a lesson, you come to arrest me! What law did I break?"
In the teahouse next door, an official with a big knife on his waist who was about to sit down was embarrassed when he heard the words, "Chen Dazhu, go home to make trouble for family matters. If you mess around on the street, don't blame me for being rude later!"
"Hey, listen to you, captain, I will go home and teach her this disobedient wife a lesson!" With that, Chen Dazhu dragged his crying wife away.
Aunt Pei and the women around were so angry that their chests heaved when they heard this.
The Ji sisters closed their eyes reluctantly.
"Miss, all crows are evil!" Xiao Yuan was indignant.
But just when they said this, the ironworker dragged his wife past them. Ji Chunyue's face darkened and she stood up with gritted teeth, "Stop it!"
"Where did this pretty boy come from? Get out of the way!" The ironworker slapped Ji Chunyue.
"Miss——"
"Sister!"
Ji Qiuyue and Xiao Yuan were terrified and about to cry.
Ji Chunyue looked at the big hand like a palm leaf fan that was about to fall on her, and she closed her eyes in fear.
It was over.
But she was ready to face the severe pain and the misery of falling to the ground, but she heard a burst of rapid horse hooves coming from far away!
Ji Chunyue couldn't help but open her eyes.
In an instant, she saw a soft whip inlaid with gold wire, like a magic weapon from heaven, shining with golden light, and slapped the iron tower-like strong man.
"Ah!" The man cried out in pain.
Ji Chunyue turned around and looked, holding her breath.
Then she saw a plain carriage stop, and the whipping guard jumped off the carriage and stood respectfully with his head bowed.
With both hands, he presented the soft golden whip that had just been whipped at the strong man.
"Madam, here is the Golden Dragon Whip."
Soon, in Ji Chunyue's astonished eyes, the seemingly plain curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a woman in a light and elegant palace dress stepped out of the carriage.
"Madam Liu! The Madam is here!" Aunt Pei and her group of women doing needlework were instantly overjoyed.
This is Madam Liu?
Ji Chunyue opened her eyes wide.
"Ah! Who hit me!? Can women in the harem whip ordinary people at will? Is there any justice? Is there any law?"
Chen Dazhu, who was forging iron, cried and wailed, "The head of the police didn't arrest me, saying that I didn't commit any crime, but the harem madam hit me, I want to seek justice from the emperor!"
Ji Chunyue's eyes dimmed when she heard this.
This stinky man is right.
In Chu, even her grandfather would at most give a lecture to the strong man who beat his wife, but it was impossible to really punish him severely.
Since ancient times, honest officials have been busy with family affairs. The emperor is a man, and officials are also men.
Men help men!
There is no law that will put a man in jail for beating his wife.
Ji Chunyue survived the catastrophe, but her eyes were extremely sad.
But just when she was depressed, she saw the beautiful and elegant Princess Liu of Jingguo looking at Chen Dazhu.
The next moment, she reached out to the maid beside her.
The maid who was serving beside her immediately raised her head and took out a roll of yellow satin imperial edict from her sleeve!
"By the will of heaven, the emperor decrees--"
She was crisp but passionate, which made the sisters of the Ji family tremble.
Since ancient times, eunuchs and officials have been the ones to pass on imperial edicts, and there has never been a palace maid reading the emperor's imperial edict!
How could there be a palace maid in Jingguo to read the imperial edict?
They looked over in shock and saw the palace maid holding her head high and chest puffed out, her voice sonorous and powerful.
"In the twelfth month of last year, the refugees of Jingguo were lucky to have winter clothes made by women. This year, during the New Year, women are lucky to have sewn fleece clothes for the soldiers stationed on the border to keep out the cold and boost their morale.
The contribution of women is outstanding and far-reaching and cannot be ignored."
"Three days ago, Concubine Liu practiced the art of suturing and rescued the brave generals of our Jingguo and Wu Yunguo, and received 500 cattle and sheep from the Khan of Wu Yunguo."
The sisters of the Ji family were fascinated by what they heard, and the other women on the street were also stunned.
This rumor turned out to be true.
What exactly is the art of suturing?
But the maid who read the imperial edict did not explain and continued to read, "I just know that women are not inferior to men, but their strengths are different!
Therefore, I appointed Concubine Liu as a seventh-rank female official, and specially recruited those who are good at embroidery and needlework to sew winter clothes, make velvet clothes, learn the art of sewing and healing, and contribute to the world!"
"Anyone who joins will make contributions to the people, soldiers, and the country!"
"I respect it, and the world also respects it!"
"Therefore, I grant Concubine Liu a golden dragon whip to protect the busy women who are the great public of the world, and to discipline their fierce, reckless, and barbaric husbands, and all relatives who hinder the great public of the world!"
"You do this."
After reading, the maid Qiuli had tears in her eyes, raised her head and chest to put away the imperial edict, and stared at the wailing strong man.
"This whip can be used to beat barbaric husbands!"
"If you are dissatisfied, no one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out!"
Well said!
Ji Chunyue and Ji Qiuyue were trembling all over and excited.
The whole street was silent at this moment, as if it was a deserted place in the dark night.
But the sunlight poured down on the women, warm and cozy, as if it dispelled the fog and the night, illuminating their endless road ahead.
The timid daughter-in-law beaten by her husband, the timid women watching on the road, and the sisters Ji Chunyue who were afraid of getting married... Even Aunt Pei who was pushed and injured at the door of the sewing courtyard, held her breath and dared not speak.
Because, I was afraid of missing a word!
How could it be so nice?
The words in the imperial edict, the words of the palace maid, how could it be so nice!
They had never heard it before.
"How many times did you hit her." Liu Channiang pursed her lips and walked in front of the strong man.
"Today, I will whip you as much as you want!"
The strong man took a step back, simply unbelievable.
"You are right, there is no law to control you. So, today I can beat you as much as I want! Because there is no law to catch me!"
Liu Channiang met his gaze, not retreating at all, and looked like she was fighting violence with violence.
"It's good as long as you are alive and not disabled!"
"!!"
[嘤, the Chu sisters' following of our Great Jing Kingdom has risen to 59% amid the man's screams...]
[Ah, it's still rising! ]
Xiao Yunzhou held his daughter, stood up, and sat down again.
His hands trembled, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Ahem, Concubine Liu... beat you... well.
