Chapter 540

"This is a very normal thing."

Fang Yang has been to many places, and perhaps he knows more about some things than these experts who are limited to one city.

"Those tomb raiders usually don't just raid one tomb; sometimes when they are close, they will throw the things they raided before nearby, instead carrying some lighter and easier-to-sell items."

"Tomb raiders in the past probably didn't have a sense of value; they always felt that gold and silver were more valuable, but in this era, many people know more about cultural relics."

"They often hide some things nearby; if they are lucky, they can return and take these things away, so usually near a raided tomb, there may be things from other dynasties."

One only needs to experience a few tombs or dig up a few cultural relics to understand this.

Fang Yang just opened the things in the cloth bag carefully.

These are two very rare wife-pawning contracts.

After receiving the system's prompt, Fang Yang saw the content on it clearly.

Many heads squeezed in next to him, and the cameraman firmly occupied the position to his right.

Faithfully showing all the content of the wife-pawning contract to the people in the live broadcast room.

Also letting them see clearly how miserable women in the Qing Dynasty were.

Looking carefully at these two wife-pawning contracts, one knew what it meant.

This woman was clearly pawned by her husband to give birth to children for others.

'Due to Hou Baozhen owing Yang Yufeng 42 taels of silver for a long time, and being unable to repay, he is willing to pawn his wife, Wang, to Yang for three years as a wife, and the children born will be descendants of the Yang family. After the term expires, he will redeem the person with 40 taels of silver.'

'Can be extended for half a year, after expiration, never redeem the person.'

'Let the words be proof.'

Fang Yang slowly recounted one of the wife-pawning contracts, and then said: "The one I just read is from the Xianfeng era, and the one below is from the second year of Xuantong in the late Qing Dynasty."

'Wang Chengjian owed Li Yufa 150 taels of silver for a long time, unable to repay, willing to pawn his wife, Chen, to Li Yufa as a wife.'

'After three years, Wang will redeem his wife with 20 taels of silver.'

'If not redeemed after expiration, other discussions will be made.'

--【Hehe, this is the 5000 years of brilliant culture.】

--【This is not pawning at all, this is clearly selling.】

--【In the Song Dynasty, pawning wives and daughters was popular, and it became an industrial chain.】

--【It's not just the Song Dynasty and Qing Dynasty; other dynasties also had it.】

--【The Qing Dynasty had deep sins, affecting future generations.】

--【Pawning wives did indeed exist in ancient times; this also belongs to tradition.】

--【Doesn't this kind of pawning mean letting the creditor raise a wife and children for oneself?】

--【This also depends on luck. If lucky, continue to be a concubine or servant for the creditor, provided the creditor is easy to talk to and has a decent character; otherwise, if unlucky, the creditor has the right to resell the woman or use her for other purposes, and the consequences are unimaginable.】

416. Do you think the creditor is a fool? It's truly like a tool! (Seeking full subscription)

--【Still helping others raise a wife and children, the brain circuit is simply strange; do you think the creditor is a fool?】

--【I think this is entirely possible in that era.】

--【In that era, the creditor would raise them for a few months, and it's not like some people now who get dizzy as long as they have a woman, and in the end, they are raising children for others.】

--【As long as it's not a child born to the main wife, it's similar to a domestic slave, and it doesn't necessarily have to be biological.】

--【Does pawning a wife mean that if there is no money, she will stay in the creditor's house forever?】

--【No, no, no, if there is no money, the ownership of this woman belongs to the creditor, and the creditor can also pawn her or sell her.】

--【The dynasty I hate the most is the Qing Dynasty.】

--【Did the Qing Dynasty have public sharing?】

--【The Qing Dynasty was a hundred times better than the Western Jin Dynasty.】

--【This shows that the wife still has value, unlike the five-guarantee household.】

--【I can't look at this; I always feel a sense of disgust.】

--【Yes, not treating women as people, truly just a tool, it's desperate to think about it.】

--【What do you mean giving birth to children for others? Doesn't the child belong to this woman?】

--【It's not hers; she has no rights. When the time is up, she has to return to that family. In that era, women were just tools.】

--【The status of women in the past was really very low; it was truly just buying and selling.】

--【Now it's even more miserable; women sell themselves for high bride prices, and after selling, they divorce and look for the next honest person.】

--【What are you doing above? Don't just cause gender opposition, okay? What you said is only a part of people. On our side, women bring dowries, and even return the bride price to the small family. Some people's dowries are much higher than the bride price.】

--【I don't think it's miserable; staying away from scumbags can lead to a life without worries about food and clothing. Anyway, I haven't seen it being miserable; people who sell their wives deserve to be bachelors.】

--【Have you ever thought about why such extreme deprivation and objectification occurred?】

--【Yes, I think it's strange; why don't they sell themselves as slaves? Why sell their wives?】

--【Haha, actually there are people who sold themselves.】

--【Anyway, I don't support this wife-selling; I don't care if it's deprivation or not.】

--【Alas, modern society is about to have these things again, which is surrogacy.】

--【It's not about to, it already exists.】

--【Stinking for ten thousand years. The Qin Dynasty protected women, and the Tang Dynasty had good progress in the status of women, but in the Qing Dynasty, it completely became an object.】

--【Women are almost the same as cattle and horses.】

--【No matter what modern society is like, women have been greatly liberated. In the past, they were private property, but now no one will force women to do anything.】

--【The gap between rich and poor will become larger and larger in any dynasty; the methods are different, but the pain is the same.】

--【In the past, there were people who couldn't afford a wife, so they rented someone else's wife, rented for two or three years, and after having children, returned them to others.】

--【Poor people are miserable everywhere; don't transfer class contradictions to gender opposition; some people are really annoying.】

There were many malicious comments in the live broadcast room, although most of them had been blocked, a small part still leaked out, making people feel angry when looking at them.

"Everyone's understanding of this wife-pawning contract is different. I won't say much about this matter, but I hope everyone can look at this matter rationally and not quarrel."

Fang Yang said while looking at the live broadcast room, but found that the people in the live broadcast room didn't calm down because of what he said, but instead quarreled again.

And looking at some people, the quarrel was very fierce.

It seems that some people are deliberately causing gender opposition.

And some people are insulting those rich people.

The attitude of hating the rich is so obvious.

Fang Yang felt that if this continued, his live broadcast room might be banned, so he waved at the cameraman.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

The cameraman arrived at Fang Yang's side almost immediately, asking in a low voice what had happened.

"Ban the live broadcast room now; the current situation is clearly not good."

417. Distinguishing the authenticity of cultural relics, treasures are everywhere underground in China! (Seeking full subscription)

Normally, this should be managed by the cameraman.

Fang Yang didn't need to care at all, but today the cameraman was very slow, and it seemed he was thinking about other things.

Instead, he didn't pay much attention to this matter.

Fang Yang handed the wife-pawning contract to the expert closest to him, and then intended to leave after the work was finished, but was stopped by an expert.

Could it be that he wanted to keep him again?

Fang Yang couldn't help but think this in his heart.

He was originally worried about this, but in reality, such a thing didn't happen at all.

The cameraman who stopped him took out a few photos.

"Fang Yang, can you help see if these cultural relics are genuine?"

"Ah?"

Fang Yang didn't expect the other party to stop him and just take a few photos to let him identify the authenticity.

He frowned slightly and took the things into his hand.

After looking at them carefully, he shook his head gently.

"This is hard to identify, because just from the picture, it is almost exactly the same as the genuine one. If I don't see the real thing, I can't confirm it."

"That is to say, if I take out the real thing, you can tell."

"Yes." ===== CHAPTER 541 =====
