I heard my whole family are villains

Chapter 35 Dilemma
When Mu Yao came back from Zhao Jiana, his brows were still frowning, and he was a little absent-minded even when he was eating.

Su Dai was not happy that the meal she cooked carefully did not receive due respect, "Mu Yao, tell me sooner if you don't want to eat it!"

"That's right," Nan Zai also condemned, "Mother and I have been busy for a long time!"

"It's dad's fault," Mu Yao immediately apologized, "I'll eat properly now."

After finishing speaking, he used the fastest speed to finish the food in the bowl.

Nan Zai was very upset, and looked at him accusingly, "Daddy, you are lying!"

"Nan Zai is good," Mu Yao comforted, "Daddy can't figure out something, it's not on purpose, he will eat well in the future, I promise."

Nan Zai tilted his head, looked at Mu Yao carefully, and confirmed that he was not perfunctory, then nodded reservedly, "I forgive you this time, there can't be a next time!"

"It's a word."

On the side, Su Dai also quietly observed.

Now she can see that Mu Yao has something on his mind, especially the troublesome one.

After eating, while Nan Zai was playing in the yard, she asked in a low voice, "Did something happen to Zhao Jia and the others?"

Mu Yao is washing the pot.

Su Dai likes to use more oil when cooking, and she doesn't have detergent, so she can only make do with plant ash and hot water.

Hearing this, he paused and became tangled up.

After a while, he frowned and said, "Zhao Jia and the others are all in their 20s. Children of the same age can make soy sauce, but they have been fooling around. Thinking about it makes me angry."

"Doesn't it mean that you can't make money without a household registration?"

"There are exceptions," Mu Yao explained, "Whether you have a household registration or not, you can exchange things for money, such as prey you catch, fish you catch, or even firewood you cut."

After pondering for a while, he continued to organize his words, "Actually, people are just unwilling to hire people without household registration. It's not that the government doesn't allow it, but it's just people's prejudice."

However, this kind of prejudice comes with life experience and wisdom, and cannot be completely denied.

"They never thought about applying for a household registration?" Su Dai was puzzled. "With a registered residence, you can find a long-term job. Among other things, you can at least support yourself."

"I must have thought about it. I just weighed the pros and cons." Mu Yao was also very helpless. "They only need to fill their stomachs now. They have to pay taxes and serve in the military for naturalization. The burden is too heavy to bear."

"That's not right, isn't there still some people who live on the land? They don't have any land either."

"This kind of person has dozens of family members, which is different from orphans like Zhao Jia and the others."

"Speaking of it, or not?"

"No." After hesitating for a long time, Mu Yao gritted his teeth and said, "If someone is willing to incorporate them into their household registration, that's fine. In this way, only a small increase in the population tax will be made, and the rest will not change."

Hearing this, Su Dai's eyes widened, "You want to incorporate them into our family?"

"Of course not," Mu Yao shook his head repeatedly, "Our family's situation is not suitable for adding more outsiders."

No matter how good the relationship is, it's not that you can't trust it, it's just that there is no need to increase the risk.

"What do you want?"

"Grandfather Mu Cang had three sons. In addition to the eldest son, the second and third sons also lack incense."

"That's really a good idea!"

"However," Mu Yao expressed his concern, "they may not be willing to change their surnames if adopted."

"It doesn't matter if people can't live," Su Dai really couldn't understand. "Besides, the rule is that the dead are alive. Come back, I don’t really want them to be filial sons and grandsons.”

Mu Yao choked.

He didn't understand how his wife could treat adoption as a child's play so easily.

However, this is indeed a way out, "I'll ask them tomorrow!"

"Ask, it's okay if you don't want to. After all, they have to walk the road by themselves."

Su Dai thinks that the possibility of the three agreeing is very high, and none of the three are stereotyped people who stick to the rules.

Sure enough, after digesting what Mu Yao said, Zhao Jia didn't want to accept it, "Brother Yao, I agree with this matter!"

Zhao Jia was raised by an old beggar and did not remember her parents. The surname Zhao was chosen by herself.

Later, I used it as a habit and didn't think about changing it. In fact, I didn't care much.

"I have to think about it again," Ding Yi hesitated, "My parents are only my son, I don't think they don't even have someone who burns paper."

"Are you stupid?" Zhao Jia really didn't understand. "People are starving to death, so why bother? Brother Yao is kind enough to find a way out for us. Don't be indifferent!"

"Zhao Jia, Ding Yi's parents died to protect him, don't take it for granted," Li Nian felt very uncomfortable, "Of course we know Brother Yao's kindness, but there is only something left in this life. Of course you have to think about it.”

"Then think about it," Mu Yao sighed, "What your sister-in-law means is that if you don't want to change your surname, you can change it back in a few years. Although this may hurt your spine, it is already the best way."

"I won't change it," Zhao Jia insisted, "Brother Yao has been so kind to me, it's too heartless to do that, so I won't do it!"

These words were true, but made the other two blushed.

In fact, they also knew that they were somewhat cheap and obedient, so they lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Seeing this, Mu Yao had no choice but to leave, "You guys discuss it first, and remember to tell me the result."

To achieve this step, he has a clear conscience, no matter what, he is worthy of his conscience.

Finally letting go of this worry, Mu Yao was suddenly enlightened, and after returning home, he devoted all his thoughts to reading and practicing calligraphy to improve himself.

On the other hand, Li Nian and Ding Yi, since hearing the news, have been filled with grief and joy, and can't sleep at night.

"Zhao Jia," Li Nian asked in confusion, "If we disagree, will you insist on adopting?"

"Probably not," Zhao Jia gave the answer after serious thinking, "We brothers have depended on each other for so many years, we can't leave you behind, not to mention, I can't support my family alone."

"The last sentence is the key point," Li Nian scolded with a smile, "What you say is for us, after all, it is for yourself."

"Fart, I'm not that kind of person."

"It's hard for brother Yao to think of such a way and promise that we can change our surnames," Li Nian sighed, "It's thanks to his care all these years."

"That's right," Zhao Jia didn't understand. "Brother Yao won't harm us. Why don't you agree to such a good thing? Is the surname more important than life and death? Don't tell me about passing on incense."

What a joke, you can't even marry a daughter-in-law, spread your loneliness!
"You don't understand," Li Nian said with a sad face, "The three of us have almost nothing but the broken house we live in. We keep our surnames, and at least we have something to think about, so that we don't muddle along."

Zhao Jia disagreed with this statement, "If uncle and aunt are alive, I definitely hope that you can live a good life!"
