Chapter 105 105 Selling Wife to Pay Debt

Gu Xiaoci's words made Kong San a little angry. There is no reason to take out these mortgaged things after entering the gambling house. This is an unwritten rule.

It is normal for anyone who can open a gambling house on a piece of land without a backend network to be domineering.

"Do you understand the rules? If I give you a step, you still have to push it further?" Kong San looked at Gu Xiaoci fiercely, with disdain on his face.

Gu Xiaoci shivered in fright and hid behind Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu was also scared, but she felt more sorry for the house deeds and she didn't dare to face Kong San. She could only approach Qi Moxuan and said, "Well, in-laws, for Xiao En's sake, you must help us.

, how can our family live without our shop and farmland..."

Qi Qi frowned and couldn't help it any longer, and said coldly, "How do you live? You live on eating chaff and swallowing vegetables. If you want to blame, blame your son. If you don't learn from it, just go gambling, nine times out of ten you will lose, and you will lose everything. That's fine.

Sooner or later."

"Qi Niang." Qi Qi said, which made Mrs. Gu think of her again, and she instantly felt confident, "Don't you have money? Quickly help Xiaoci repay the debt. What are you waiting for? All the house deeds and land deeds have been redeemed."

Qi Qi pouted, "How can I have any money? What nonsense are you always talking about?"

"Why not? Didn't you get a reward from a noble person?" Mrs. Gu was very clear-headed now.

Qi Qi smiled, "I donated the reward money long ago during the flood, and it's long gone."

Qi Qi didn't have any worries. She didn't really want to help Gu Xiaoci. She just wanted to end the mess quickly so as not to drag down the child in Lu Liu's belly. Being able to save Gu Xiaoci's life would be a good deed for her.

.

In one sentence, everyone was confused.

"If we don't give up, what do you want?" A group of people came in at the door, it was Wang Ba, the boss of the gambling house.

"Brother." When Kong San saw the person coming, he immediately stepped forward, acting like a fool.

"Oh, are you making a big deal out of bothering the county magistrate over such a trivial matter?" Li was trying to smooth things over.

Qi Qi and the others also looked at the door. This man was tall and tall, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He was imposing and the boss was full of style.

When Qi Qi heard this, he said innocently, "I didn't say that you were acting arrogantly and disregarding the law. Of course, you don't need to be afraid of the government.

"Xiao Qi." Qi Moxuan frowned slightly, stood up and wanted to stop Qi Qi, not wanting her to intervene.

This is not human trafficking, but is carried out when the woman already has a husband, with the consent of both the buyer and the seller, and with the evidence of an intermediary.

If this kind of matter is brought to the county government, neither party can get anything good. Of course the gambling shop is at fault, but the gamblers themselves are not good. Let the county magistrate judge, and it will probably be a fifty-fifty deal each, so generally everyone

As a matter of convention, matters are settled privately.

"No, no, I won't go." Gu Xiaoci was frightened and huddled in the corner, shivering.

When Qi Moxuan listened to his sister's words, he unconsciously smiled fondly. He was such a cunning character who never suffered any loss.

Although there is an express provision in Da Pei's Code, if money is used to buy or sell a divorce, or to marry a wife, the husband, the wife, and the person who bought the divorce will each receive a hundred sticks.

It's a pity that no one except Mrs. Gu paid attention to him.

Wang Ba looked at her curiously and said with disdain in his tone, "Do you think we are afraid of the government when we work in this business? Gu Xiaoci owes a debt, which is written in black and white on the overdue deposit. Even if it goes to court, we will take justice.

It’s not necessarily who suffers.”

I just think that if the two sides are arguing and it is difficult to coordinate, we can ask the county magistrate to help us make a decision. The county magistrate is fair and strict, and I believe his judgment will definitely satisfy everyone. Otherwise, let's go there now

?”

After hearing what my sister said, it was indeed a good idea, so I helped, "My sister is right. I also think it is more convenient for everyone to take this trip."

I have to mention here again the importance of a woman’s natal family. If the woman’s natal family is strong, the man will not dare to act so wantonly.

"I'm a little girl, I don't have the power to tie a chicken, what can I do? I just feel that since you guys refuse to give up, they really can't pay back the debt..." Qi Qi was not timid when facing the visitor, and said in a calm tone.

, "Then go to the Qingshan County Yamen and let the county magistrate administer justice."

Ha, it is indeed true.

Ask the woman if she wants to? Does it matter? No one cares.

This is what Qi Qi cannot tolerate the most. Did women have no human rights in ancient times?

"I don't want to rush this trip, but there is always a wrongdoer and a debtor. Whoever owes the debt should go to whom you go to. He deserves to be beaten to death and maimed. But what about you?" Qi Qi looked at him with sharp eyes.

Kong San, who had just touched Lu Liu and made rude remarks to her, said, "Where is your conscience when you do something to a pregnant woman with a big belly? What is the difference between you and an animal?"

"Why should I lie to you? Even if I have money, I have no obligation to repay your stupid son's debt. You really think too much." Qi Qi replied coldly, then ignored the mother and son who looked at each other with ferocious faces, and only said to Kong San.

, "They will definitely not be able to come up with two thousand taels. There is actually nothing to talk about. Gu Xiaoci has been squeezed dry by you. If you still refuse to give up..."

However, in many areas among the people, this situation is not uncommon. It has a name called "marrying and selling one's wife."

The government was not unaware of this, but most of them ignored it, and did not even list it as "an evil custom in the county" or other local vices.

In the history that Qi Qi knows, there is the most famous wife-pawn system, where husbands can buy and sell their wives on "lease" to give birth to children for others!

In history, it was not uncommon for gamblers to sell their wives to pay off debts.

"Hanshu: Biography of Jia Zun" also records that marrying one's wife and selling one's children cannot be prohibited by law and cannot be stopped by righteousness.

Qi Qi smiled slightly at him and said, "Third brother, don't be impatient yet. Listen to what I have to say."

"Donated? Donated! Qi Niang, are you crazy? Impossible, impossible. Did you say that on purpose because you didn't want to repay Xiaoci's debt?" Mrs. Gu's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys ached after hearing this, and she covered her head.

He looked in disbelief.

Unless someone comes forward to file a complaint, by then it will be too late, the damage has already been done, and the innocent woman is the one who suffers the most.

Lu Liu stood alone in the corner, holding her belly and looking at the scene in front of her with a gloomy expression. She had already been extremely disappointed with Gu Xiaoci. Just now, this man actually pushed her out to pay off the debt, but she was still pregnant with his child. Man

At this point, there was nothing left to miss. When she heard Qi Qi's words, she felt both aggrieved and happy, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

When Kong San saw everyone looking at him, he couldn't help but defend himself, "That was because he voluntarily sold his wife to pay off the debt. I didn't force him."

"Why don't you go talk to the county magistrate?" Qi Qi's eyes were cold and her tone was cold.
