Chapter 345 Reasons for Divorce
Chapter 345 Reasons for Divorce
Meng Ke knew that the Tong family was good at politics and assassination. On the other hand, they were also very good at protecting people.
Ouyang Kong once wanted Yangyang to become a disciple of the Tong family, but for some unknown reason, he was rejected.
At this time, she would not force anyone to do anything, she just wanted to give her son a chance.
"Yangyang has always admired you and wants to be your disciple. Could you give him a chance?"
Afraid that Tong Lao would think she was asking for too much, Meng Ke quickly explained: "It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient. After all, you and the ancestor are good friends, and it's my duty to honor you."
Even if Mr. Tong doesn't give her this opportunity, she will do her best to grow the ancient osmanthus tree.
To be honest, Meng didn't have much hope.
After all, the Ouyang family has such a great reputation, but they rejected her. What is she?
Unexpectedly, Tong Lao did not refuse or agree, but asked: "What do you think of Wutong?"
Meng Ke didn't know why Mr. Tong suddenly asked this, so he told the truth: "Mr. Wutong is a very good officer."
"What if I ask you to trade your status as your fifth husband?"
Meng Ke's forced smile faded, and she felt uncomfortable, but she still maintained her proper manners and answered, "Mr. Wutong is a good man, but I have had four husbands, which is enough. I don't want to get married again."
"I remember that according to the Alliance Law, your standard number of husbands is five."
"Yes! The alliance is lenient with special talents, and my husband and four others are legal."
If it weren't for this, how could those families who had ulterior motives have been able to suppress it?
Even so, the families of her four husbands were almost unable to stop the swarms of admirers who wanted to pounce on her.
It’s scary to think about it. I heard that interstellar women all have bad tempers.
If she met a man she disliked and couldn't refuse him, she probably wouldn't be in a good mood.
The Alliance protects women very well, but when it comes to racial reproduction, it seems soft, but in fact there is no room for negotiation.
Just like her and Gongsun Jin, as soon as Gongsun Jin filed for divorce, the main brain immediately re-matched her with Lei Hu and Luo Tian.
If she had divorced Lei Hu and Luo Tian at that time, the mastermind would have forced her to live with the other party for three months in the third marriage, and divorced them if they could not get along after three months.
By analogy, women's right to choose will become smaller and smaller, and the conditions of the mastermind will become more and more stringent.
In the end, many women find it troublesome and don’t want to be treated specially by the mastermind, so they obey with great reluctance.
Anyway, even if they get married, a woman can still find a second or third husband, and just leave the one the mastermind doesn't like alone.
Up to now, very few women in the alliance have divorced. They accept anyone, whether it is the one they like or the one arranged by the mastermind.
As for love, with so many husbands, she has no time to talk about it. As long as she is happy, she is fine. She even rarely has the mood to pay attention to her children, unless they are daughters, so she can bring them out to bring honor.
While Meng Ke was lost in thought, she heard Elder Tong say, "It's okay if you don't get married. Give us a child. In the future, we, the Tong family, will protect your child with our lives. How do you think?"
With Tong Lao's promise, the safety of Yangyang, Duoduo and the others can be adequately guaranteed.
But Meng would not agree to this behavior, which is equivalent to selling seeds.
"I'm sorry! I can't accept my child becoming a tool for a transaction."
Tong Lao had already taken a step back, but he didn't expect to be rejected. His face turned cold. "If you don't want to get married, I'll follow your wishes. It's just a child. If you like Wutong, let him follow you. It's just right for personal protection. If you don't like him, just give him a child. With me here, he won't dare to pester you."
Mr. Tong was full of momentum, and his sharp eyes shot straight at Meng Ke, which put Meng Ke under a lot of pressure, but she still did not think of compromising.
“I don’t want my own children to hate me one day?”
"Do you think our Tong family can't raise your child?"
This time Tong Lao was really angry.
Meng Ke said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "It is wrong to treat children as resources for trading. This has nothing to do with whether the Tong family can raise children well."
"As far as I know, your current children are also being raised by their respective fathers' families. You will only provide companionship. The same can be done for our Tong family's children. When they are young, you can bring them up by your side. When they need guidance, our Tong family will do it ourselves. You can just not interfere."
Old Tong discussed the matter with Meng Ke in a completely impartial manner. Patriarch Ouyang and several elders sat silently on the side, waiting to see how Meng Ke would handle it.
How might one deal with dreams? Of course, rejection.
Elder Tong was quite dissatisfied with the result and tried to put pressure on him. Only then did Elder Ouyang speak up: "Meng girl, it's getting late. Take Yangyang back and rest early."
"Yes!"
Meng Ke was finally free. Although she knew that the Tong family would not give up so easily, she still couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
There is no way. If the Ouyang family is one of the four top families in the open, its power is enormous.
The Tong family is the king of the dark world. She is not afraid that the Tong family will cause trouble to her, but she is afraid that they will cause her children to have accidents.
Meng Ke didn't know that after she left, several ancestors spoke highly of her.
"Ouyang, the daughter-in-law your family has chosen this time is quite good. She is of a lower birth, but she is principled and capable. She is an ideal candidate for the head mistress of the family."
Patriarch Ouyang was also quite satisfied with the performance of this junior: "Well! It's not bad! But he's still a little green and needs training."
Patriarch Gongsun tapped the table with his index finger. After a moment's thought, he discussed with Patriarch Ouyang: "My Xiaojin is also quite interested in your daughter-in-law. How about our two families become brothers and strengthen our relationship?"
The Ouyang family has many children, some of whom have already married into the younger generations of the Gongsun family. Patriarch Gongsun wants to follow the Ouyang family's path and let Gongsun Jin and Meng Ke remarry.
Patriarch Ouyang neither agreed nor refused: "Let the younger generations decide for themselves."
Patriarch Gongsun had already planned to spend a fortune to get the Ouyang family to agree, but he didn't expect that he would be pushed back softly before he could even promise them a huge profit.
He was not annoyed. He had seen the attitude of the Ouyang family and would not stop them. That was enough. He believed that as the most outstanding child of the younger generation, it would not be difficult for Gongsun Jin to get a wife back.
After returning home, Patriarch Gongsun immediately called Gongsun Jin to the study.
"Ancestor."
Gongsun Jin was dignified and graceful, a gentleman like jade, and he bowed respectfully to the ancestor.
The more Patriarch Gongsun looked at this young man, the more satisfied he became. He nodded and said "hmm".
"I heard that you were engaged to Meng Ke before, but you broke off the engagement for Bai Yan'er?"
Gongsun Jin didn't expect the ancestor to suddenly ask this, so he answered honestly: "Yes!"
"Tell me, Old Ancestor, what was the real reason for canceling the engagement?"
Gongsun Jin is the designated heir of the family. Even though he no longer takes care of things, he will still pay attention to every move of this younger generation.
From the information he got, Xiao Jin knew about Bai Yan'er's affair with other men, but did not stop it. Later, when Bai Yan'er died, this young man of his family was not sad at all.
It can be seen that Bai Yan'er is not enough to make Xiao Jin reject someone whose marriage compatibility value with him is as high as 98%.
