Chapter 262 I am the aunt, I have the final say
Three days passed in a flash. Bai Chunhua and his companions, together with Bai Tiechui and Bai Dabao, delivered all the goods ordered by the nearby tribes.

During this period, there were also some foolish people who wanted to rob. After all, rumors are always exaggerated. What if they work?
So there are always some people who don't believe in it, but the result is predictable.

After hearing about it, Bai Qi even went to deliver the goods the next day in case he was robbed.

She hasn't had a fight for a long time. If she doesn't take action, what will happen when her hands and feet become rusty? She hasn't used her famous skill, the monkey stealing peaches, for a long time.

Throughout the day, he encountered two robberies. Without waiting for others to say anything, Baiqi rushed forward excitedly.

"Finally you're here. 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 the Horse King has."

She was punching and kicking, and with Bai Chunhua and others nearby, she naturally would not suffer any loss.

The bad guys could never have imagined that a little girl from the Baijiabao caravan could be so powerful. They immediately ran away crawling.

The white chess player in the back looked unsatisfied: "Hey, don't run away, come back quickly, let's fight until dawn!"

When she went back and talked about it with Bai Tao excitedly, Bai Tao looked helpless: "Take it easy, you are still young."

She was just playing Landlord when she was bored and forgot to mute the game sound. Unexpectedly, the white chess player learned her trick.

Bai Qi laughed happily: "Auntie, I am not a child anymore, I am already twelve years old, I can beat seven or eight people by myself now."

"Not bad, it's worth praising." Bai Tao thought of something and asked, "By the way, has your family arranged a marriage for you?"

In ancient times, there were various ways to promote population.

In the State of Jin, there was a saying that if you did not marry by the age of fifteen, you had to pay a head tax every year. The amount of money was not small, one or two taels of silver per person per year, and you had to pay it no later than seventeen years old, otherwise the official matchmaker would arrange a husband for you.

By then, it all depends on luck whether you will be matched with a lame, blind, or disabled person.

In order to avoid being randomly matched up by official matchmakers and to avoid paying the head tax, many families with daughters would arrange marriages for their children early on.

After getting engaged, girls usually get married when they are fourteen or fifteen years old. If a relative suddenly passes away, they need to observe mourning for three years. But if this happens, they won't be able to choose a good family after they are seventeen years old.

As for those who are powerful and have no shortage of money, they will naturally keep their children for two more years, but they will also get them engaged early.

Bai Qi, who was originally smiling, suddenly turned pale when she heard this. She did not show any shyness that a little girl should have. Instead, she shook her head with a panicked look.

"No, no." Bai Qi paused and said tentatively: "Auntie, I don't want to get married so early."

Bai Qi has heard many stories of women being beaten to death by their husband's family after getting married, or dying during childbirth. That's why she is so afraid.

Even though Taohua Village was located in a remote area before, it was still registered.

After escaping to Junji Town, this place was a no-man's land. There were no government officials, let alone official media.

Even so, most women here have to get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Any later will be criticized.

Humans are social animals, so how could they really ignore the gossips of their neighbors? Otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying that spit can drown a person.

Although there was no official media here, everyone in Taohua Village listened to Bai Tao, so Bai Qi bravely begged.

"Aunt, I want to ask you a favor. Can I get married a few years later?"

Bai Tao said without thinking: "Of course."

"Marrying at the age of fifteen is unscientific. The imperial court just wants to increase the population and doesn't care about the life and death of women." Fifteen years old, still a child, is required to have children. It simply doesn't regard women's lives as human lives.

When Bai Qi heard this, his eyes lit up immediately: "Auntie, is this really possible?"

"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 this happens, people will talk about it."

"Who said that? Who cares? As long as you don't want to, it doesn't matter what anyone says."

Bai Tao Nai scolded: "Those who gossip about you didn't give you a grain of rice to eat, and you didn't drink a sip of water from their house, so why do you care what they say?"

"In this world, there are always some people who don't live well themselves and can't bear to see others live well. Don't bother with them!"

"You need to be careful when getting married and living together. Only you know whether the shoes fit you or not."

"Don't even mention getting married a few years later. You can even not get married at all."

After Bai Tao finished speaking, not only the people in Taohua Village, but also Tao Jiaren and even the Keba family looked at her in surprise.

Bai Tao glanced at the people around him and said, "That's right."

"I'm not stupid. If getting married is as good as picking up silver coins on the road, who wouldn't do it?"

When the people present heard this, they were amazed. Although Bai Tao's point of view seemed a bit unorthodox, it seemed to make sense when they listened carefully.

Bai Tao Nai sighed and continued, "People only live for a few decades, and they have to worry about the future and the future. Even starting a family and living a family requires worrying about other people's gossip. How tiring it is."

Although Bai Qi nodded, the sadness on his face still remained.

My aunt was still young, so naturally she didn’t know what it would be like to get married a few years earlier or later.

If she causes her aunt to be scolded because of this, then she will be the sinner of Taohua Village, and she will not be able to face her ancestors then.

Seeing this, Bai Tao said, "Don't look at me because I'm young. I'm your aunt. How could I not know?"

"I told you before when I was teaching you about hygiene that women reach physical maturity at the age of 20. Even at this age, it is dangerous to conceive, let alone at the age of 15 or 16..."

As she was talking, Bai Tao said impatiently: "Anyway, I don't care what others say. From now on, all women in Taohua Village can get married after they are 20 years old."

Bai Tao said at this point, "I am the aunt, I have the final say!"

"If anyone in the village has any objections, ask her to come and talk to me herself."

No matter how much she said, it would be better to just set some rules. After all, she is the lady of Taohua Village and the villagers should listen to her.

The Baijiabao caravan is strong, and strong people always have the ability to make rules.

It may arouse a lot of objections at the beginning, but so what? After three to five years, people will naturally accept it slowly.

To be more cold-blooded, she only cares about her Taohua Village, and Bai Tao 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: "Woo woo, Auntie~~~Thank you, Auntie."

Seeing that Bai Tiechui and the others were silent, Bai Tao raised an eyebrow: "Why, do you have any objections to this matter?"
