Chapter 262 I am my aunt, I have the final say
Three days passed. Bai Chunhua and others, together with Bai Tiezhui and Bai Dabao, delivered all the goods ordered by nearby tribes one by one.
During this period, it’s not like I didn’t encounter people who were short-sighted and wanted to rob me. After all, rumors are always exaggerated. What if it works?
So there are always some people who don’t believe in evil, but the consequences are predictable.
Even after Bai heard about it, he went to deliver the goods the next day in case someone robbed him.
She hasn't fought in a long time. If she doesn't take action, what will happen if her hands and feet get rusty? Her famous skill, monkey stealing peaches, has not been used for a long time.
At the end of the day, I encountered two robbers. Before anyone else could say anything, White rushed forward excitedly.
"But here we are, I thought I wouldn't meet you today."
"Since you dare to rob the goods of our Baijiabao caravan, you don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has."
She punched and kicked her a lot, and there were Bai Chunhua and others raiding the formation beside her, so naturally she wouldn't suffer.
How could the bad guys have imagined that a little girl from the Baijiabao caravan could be so powerful, and she immediately rolled away and ran away.
White's chess piece from behind looked unfinished: "Hey, don't run away, come back quickly, let's fight until dawn!"
When she went back and talked to Baitao enthusiastically, Baitao looked helpless: "Take it easy, you're still young."
She was just playing landlords when she was bored and forgot to mute the sound of the game. Unexpectedly, Bai Qi learned it again.
White Chess happily said: "Auntie, I'm not young anymore. I'm twelve years old. I can play seven or eight games at once."
"Yes, it's worth boasting about." Baitao thought of something and asked, "By the way, has your family made an engagement for you?"
In ancient times, there were various ways to promote population.
In the Jin State, it is said that if you are not married at the age of fifteen, you must pay a poll tax every year. The amount paid is quite a lot, one tael of silver per person per year, and it must not be later than the age of seventeen, otherwise the official media will Arrange a husband for you.
When the time comes, it all depends on luck whether the person is lame, blind or disabled.
In order to avoid being randomly matched by official matchmakers and to avoid paying the poll tax, many people with daughters at home will give their children early access to other families.
After getting engaged, people usually get married when they are fourteen or fifteen years old. If a relative dies suddenly in the family, it will take three years. But in this way, after the age of seventeen, there will be no good family to choose from.
As for the powerful ones, if they don't need a little money, they will naturally keep their children for two more years, but they all get engaged early.
Bai Qi, who was still smiling at first, suddenly turned pale when he heard this. He didn't mention the shyness that this young daughter should have at home. Instead, he shook his head in panic.
"No, no." Bai Qi paused and said tentatively: "Auntie, I don't want to get married so early."
White has often heard of married people being beaten to death by their husbands' families, or of children dying in childbirth, which is why she is so afraid.
Even though Taohua Village was originally located in a remote area, it was still registered.
After escaping to Junji Town, this area belongs to the Sanguang area, and there are no government officials, let alone official media.
Even so, most women here have to get married when they are sixteen or seventeen years old. If it is later, they will be criticized.
Humans are social animals, so how can they really ignore the sarcastic comments from their neighbors? Otherwise, there would be no saying that spittle can drown people.
Although there is no official media here, people in Taohua Village listen to Baitao, so Baiqi has the courage to plead.
"Auntie, I want to ask you something. Can I get married a few years later?"
Baitao said without thinking: "Of course."
"Originally, getting married at the age of fifteen is unscientific. It is purely because the court wants to increase the population and does not care about the life and death of women." At fifteen, you are still a child and you have to have children. You simply don't care about a woman's life. Life counts as human life.
When Bai Qi heard this, his eyes immediately lit up: "Auntie, is it really okay?"
"Of course it's true."
"Auntie, you are so kind." Bai Qi smiled happily, but the next second, the smile on her face dimmed: "But, auntie, if you do this, you will be criticized."
"Who said it? It doesn't matter who said it. As long as you don't want to, it's useless for anyone to say it."
Bai Tao Nai lectured: "Those gossips didn't even give you a grain of rice to eat, and you didn't even drink a sip of their water. You don't care what they say."
"In this world, there are always some people who are not doing well and can't see others living well, so don't worry about them!"
"You need to be cautious when getting married. Only you know whether the shoes fit your feet."
"Don't say it's a few years later. You don't have to marry."
After Baitao finished speaking, not only the people of Taohua Village, but also Tao Jiaren, and even Keba's family looked at her in surprise.
Baitao scanned a circle of people and said, "That's right."
"People are not stupid. If getting married is as good as picking up money on the street, can a person not do it?"
When the people present heard this, they were like, although Baitao's point of view seems a bit unorthodox, but after listening carefully, it seems to make sense.
Bai Tao Nai sighed loudly and continued: "This person only has a few decades to live. He is so hesitant that he even has to worry about other people's gossip when he gets married. How tiring he is."
Although Bai Qi nodded, the sadness on his face still did not disappear.
My aunt is still young, so naturally she doesn’t know the situation of starting a family a few years earlier or later.
If she causes her aunt to be scolded because of this, then she will be a sinner in Taohua Village. She will not have the dignity to meet her ancestors.
Seeing this, Baitao said: "Don't look at me as young, I am your aunt, how can I know?"
"I told you before when I gave you a hygiene class that a woman's body matures at the age of twenty. Even at this time, pregnancy and life are in danger, let alone fifteen or sixteen years old..."
As he talked, Baitao said impatiently: "In short, I don't care what others do. From now on, women in Taohua Village can only get married after they are twenty years old."
When Baitao said this, she said in a deep voice: "I am my aunt, and I have the final say!"
"If anyone in the village has an opinion, let her come and talk to me."
No matter how much you say, it's better to just set the rules. She is the aunt of Taohua Village, and the villagers will obey her.
The Baijiabao Caravan is strong, and strong people always have the ability to make rules.
It may attract a lot of objections from people at the beginning, but so what, after three to five years, people will naturally gradually accept it.
To put it more cold-bloodedly, she only cares about her Peach Blossom Village. Baitao really doesn't care about the life and death of other people.
As soon as these words came out, Bai Qi's eyes immediately turned red: "Wow, auntie~~~Thank you, auntie."
Seeing that Bai Tiechui and others were silent, Baitao raised his eyebrows: "What, do you have any objections to this matter?"
