Chapter 263 Who can urinate higher?
If they dared to object, she would punish them by making them kneel in the ancestral hall, using durian peel as a kneeling pad.
Bai Tiechui and the others came back to their senses and quickly shook their heads: "No, we have no objection. Since my aunt has stipulated this, it must be reasonable."
"Auntie, we will all listen to you."
It’s not that there weren’t people who thought that getting married at the age of fifteen or sixteen was too early, but the imperial court had clear regulations, so what could the common people say?
Not to mention women, even men are like this.
Having lost their vitality at the early age of fifteen or sixteen, it is natural that they rarely live beyond forty.
Hearing this, Bai Tao nodded in satisfaction, and then hummed, "Why rush? You still have decades to live, plenty of time to have children, take care of the pee and poop, why rush to start a family?"
The people in Taohua Village all nodded in agreement: "That's right, grandma."
Bai Qi smiled and said, "My aunt is right. I am not in a hurry to have another baby."
Tao Jiaren spoke up at this time: "Little cutie, you really, really are..." She didn't know what to say, so she could only give Bai Tao a thumbs up.
She learned this complimenting gesture from Bai Tao in the past few days.
On the side, Keba's wife continued: "It's good to get married two years later. Having children too early is really harmful to women. Many people in the tribe who gave birth early suffered from severe postpartum hemorrhage..."
Postpartum hemorrhage will ruin the body even if the woman survives. It may take three to five years before the woman dies just when the child can walk. It is really sad.
Bai Tao is still a child, so naturally people won’t stay on this topic for too long.
As he was talking, Bai Tao changed his tone and said, "People should eat and drink. In the first fifteen years, you don't have the conditions to eat, and in the next fifteen years, you don't have teeth to eat. The only time you can eat is in the middle twenty to thirty years..."
Tao Jiaren smiled: "Yes, yes, you are so cute, do you want to eat the cheese cake?"
"Yes!" Bai Tao nodded quickly: "If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your brain."
Tao Jiaren smiled when she heard this, looked at Keba's wife and nodded.
There were many delicious snacks in ancient times. The cheese cake from the Ginger Tribe is very good.
Soon, Keba's wife came up with a plate of cheese cake.
Bai Tao took two bites and praised it highly: "It's delicious!"
"Master Bai, if you like it, I will tell them how to make it so you can enjoy it when you go back."
"Okay!" Bai Tao nodded immediately: "Well, I'll pass it on. From now on, when your family goes to the shops under Baijiabao to buy things, you will get a 9.9% discount."
Although a 99% discount may not seem like much, it can save a lot of money over time.
Keba's wife thanked him happily, saying that this was the boss of the Baijiabao caravan. People from outside had to beg for connections to get to know him, but there was no chance.
Maintaining good relationships will bring you many benefits in the future.
Bai Tao not only made a promise to Bai Qi, but also sent a letter to Taohua Village.
As soon as the letter arrived, Bai Dashan read it and then, with a serious face, gathered all the people in the village.
"My aunt sent me a letter with arrangements."
The villagers were curious and asked in unison: "Village Chief, does the aunt have any instructions?"
"When did my aunt say she would be back?"
"To put it in perspective, my aunt has been out for nearly half a month..."
Bai Dashan waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk nonsense for now. Have your families arranged for your children to meet other people recently?"
The villagers looked at each other and shook their heads: "No."
"Village chief, we haven't even built our house yet, so how can we have the time to look for other families for our children?"
"That's right. It's already this late and everyone is so busy that they don't have the time." Even if there are children of marriageable age in the family, don't they have to wait until the house is built before they can prepare the dowry and betrothal gifts?
Now that we are living a good life, holding a wedding is also a lively and happy event. When the time comes, I will have to ask my aunt to come and bless us.
Bai Dashan nodded: "That's good."
"My aunt said that early marriage and childbirth are prone to early death. From now on in Taohua Village, girls cannot marry before the age of 20, and boys cannot marry before the age of 21."
After these words were spoken, there was silence for a few seconds, and everyone was visibly stunned.
Someone raised his hand and said, "Village head, let's not ask why women don't get married before they are 20 years old. Why do men have to be 21 years old?"
"Yeah? But is there anything special about it?"
Bai Dashan glanced at the letter again and read it word by word: "Men mature more slowly than women, so it is best to get married two or three years later."
After saying that, Bai Dashan raised his head and said, "What I mean is that men become enlightened later than women."
The implication is that if a man only grows older but not smarter, it is safer to do it later.
When the villagers heard this, they suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
No one found it strange. After all, adults all knew that among children of the same age of six or seven, girls would help with housework while boys might still gather together to see who could pee higher.
"It's better to get married later. It's good for the family and the village."
Otherwise, if they get married at the age of fifteen, they will be immature and look forward to going to bed every day, so they will have no mind to do anything.
"Yes, yes, what my aunt said makes sense."
"That's right. My aunt said in her reproductive health class that childbirth is extremely harmful to women and must be treated with caution..."
Bai Dashan continued, "My aunt also said that marriage is free, and no one is allowed to force their children to marry, especially those who don't want to marry."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Is it okay not to get married? !
Hiss, isn’t this too, too bad?
Sixth Aunt: "Grandma specifically said this, but what did someone say to her little old lady?"
The older you get, the wiser it gets. Many old men and women quickly thought of this aspect.
Some people also said, "Did the aunt see something unfair outside?"
Bai Dashan shook his head: "My aunt didn't say that in the letter."
"Anyway, this is what I want. If you don't mind, let's go."
After a pause, he continued, "My aunt said that if anyone has any objections, you can go and talk to her in person when she comes back."
The villagers looked at each other, and soon everyone shook their heads: "No."
"no comment."
"It's up to me, grandma."
"Yes, we will definitely listen to my aunt."
The villagers all know how the aunt treats everyone. There must be a reason why the aunt makes such rules.
Taohua Village is currently the most powerful one. Since the ancestors have not come out to object, how can the younger generations like them have any objection?
As soon as the marriage rules in Taohua Village were determined, people in the upper and lower villages heard about it in the afternoon.
"real or fake?"
"Twenty years old? That's too late. You'll be an old maid!"
"Yeah, which good family would keep their daughter until she is 20 years old? Isn't this just making people laugh at it?"
