Chapter 3 Adoption
Jiang Jinyu, who had witnessed the development of commerce in later generations, was not surprised at all by the business.

Mingshun, who had been dreaming all the way, was finally awakened. He pulled Bai and asked her to quickly string the coins together with a straw rope, while he counted the money and replied: "Sold."

"How much did it cost?" Jiang Jinyu asked expectantly, lying next to him.

Although Bai was stringing money in her hands, her eyes were shining as she looked at her man.

Jiang Mingshun coughed twice and pretended to be calm: "One pound of maltose sold for 160 Wen."

Jiang Jinyu quickly calculated the cost. The tools could be used all the time, so she only deducted the money to buy glutinous rice flour.

After a while, I excitedly concluded that this business can be continued for a long time!
So from that day on, they looked for opportunities to water the malt every day. After the two of them made it together, Jiang Mingshun secretly took it to the county drug store to sell it.

Fortunately, there is a boat available, and for a penny, you can go there and back in less than an hour.

After making more than a dozen trips a year, after excluding the cost of expenses, I have saved nearly two tons of money.

This is really a lot. A grown man working at the dock only earns twenty cents a day, and he doesn’t have work to do every day.

For Jiang Mingshun and Bai, two ounces of money was a huge amount of money that they had never seen since they were born.

The feeling of the copper coin falling from their hands made the two people quickly ignore the guilt of "not only did they not tell their elders about the good things, but they even saved their own money behind their backs".

The autumn harvest is now coming to an end, and the Jiang family's land has almost been harvested. The wheat is ready-made in the field and can be used after drying.

Jiang Mingshun felt uncomfortable. After all, he quietly took the things from home.

Jiang Jinyu didn't feel much at all. The amount of work her parents put in in a day was far more than the value of this little wheat.

The father and daughter walked home after taking a bath, but they never expected to meet Bai at the foot of the river slope.

She had an anxious expression on her face and kept pacing in place.

Jiang Jinyu was immediately shocked. How could her mother run out just a few days after giving birth?
She immediately asked: "Mom, what happened?"

"Mingshun, Fish Lady." When Bai saw the man and the child, she seemed to have found a backbone, and her tone became tearful.

She opened and closed her mouth a few times, then continued with difficulty: "I just... went to the hut and heard my mother and father say... My second uncle died early, leaving only your bloodline. Now... we have a son, so We will be adopted back to the second room."

In addition to panic, there was also a trace of resentment and dissatisfaction in Bai's eyes.

When my parents had no son in their early years, they took care of themselves and adopted the only son of their younger brother who died young. Why didn't they expect that their second wife would have no blood?
In the next ten years, Jiang Mingshun failed to have a son. Why didn't they adopt their grandson?

It's just because they can't get a share of the family property without a son, and they covet Jiang Mingshun and Bai's labor force. Now that they have a son, they will naturally get a share of the family property in the future. How can Yang be willing to do this? ?
Jiang Mingshun is an honest person, but he is not a person without calculations in his heart. He only thinks that Jiang Yongsheng is his uncle after all, and since he raised him, he should naturally regard the two of them as his biological parents.

He vaguely thought that even if he gave birth to a son, he might not be able to share much of the family property when the family was divided in the future, but he never thought that he would be adopted back to the second room.

Jiang Jinyu listened silently, feeling really disdainful. Look at how loud this plan was. Naturally, there would be no need to share any land or money if the person was adopted.

Who doesn't know that when Jiang Yongsheng adopted Jiang Mingshun, he got two acres of paddy field and two acres of dry land left by Jiang Mingshun's father.He and his wife accepted it with confidence back then, but now they don't want to spit it out anymore.

After hurriedly returning home, Jiang Yongsheng was squatting in the courtyard, smoking hookah continuously. He raised his eyes and saw Jiang Mingshun pushing the door in and slowly standing up from the ground. Their eyes met and they walked towards the main room in tacit understanding. Walk inside.

Mrs. Yang moved a chair, sat in the yard with a straight face, and said coolly: "During the day, you said that your little son had to take care of him and couldn't do the work. By night, he would no longer be a golden pimple?"

She glanced at Mr. Bai with disdain: "You were born a bitch and you want to imitate the people from the city doing confinement?"

Ms. Bai had no intention of arguing with Mr. Yang at the moment, and thinking that her youngest son was still asleep on the kang, she returned to her room after pacing a few times.

But a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Mingshun also came in with a dull face. Seeing the look on his face, Bai fell down on the kang dejectedly.

After being silent for a long time, Jiang Mingshun said with difficulty: "I was not my father... my uncle's biological son. It's only right that I still return to the second room now."

I don’t know whether this is to persuade others or myself.

"But..." Bai said anxiously.

Jiang Mingshun interrupted: "My father...my biological father's three thatched houses are not uninhabitable. My uncle will allocate us two acres of dry land."

"I was raised by my parents, and the two acres of paddy fields were treated as repayment of my kindness."

Among the three thatched houses, Jiang Jinyu thought about the house used for making sugar. Well, that one house could still provide protection from the wind and sun. Wouldn't the other two houses be suddenly blown away by a strong wind one day?
Jiang Jinyu almost laughed in anger. She occasionally heard her father mention that when her biological grandfather Jiang Changsheng passed away, although her land was sold for [-]% or [-]%, the house was fully equipped with everything.

Not to mention anything else, the big table used for dining in the Jiang family's old house was moved from the thatched house, but now her good uncle didn't even bother to repair the roof, and just wanted to kick them out.

"Where's the food in the fields?" I don't care about that much now. The autumn harvest has come to an end. If there is no food, how will I survive the cold winter?
Jiang Mingshun's expression softened slightly: "Uncle said, we will move away the grain produced in those two acres of dry land."

After hearing this, Ms. Bai was still worried about her family being kicked out, but she was still a little relieved.

What a good idea. Jiang Mingshun gradually returned to his senses and realized that today's incident was definitely not a whim. It must have been planned for a long time. Such a matter of adoption and rebirth, even if he caused trouble in the clan, it would not matter. Is there a reason?

Coveting a good life and not wanting to pass on the incense to your own parents?Not to mention getting a fair word from the tribe, I'm afraid I'm going to have to be taught a lesson about the tribe's rules.

Alas, Jiang Jinyu sighed, people are indeed taking advantage of their righteousness.

However, let Jiang Jinyu say that although this matter seems to be suffering at the moment, it is always a good thing that he can be the master of the matter.

Xu Shi really thought it over, and Jiang Yongsheng went to the clan leader early the next morning to talk about it.

Jiangjiacun is a popular surname in Huangni Village, with a total of over a hundred men and women. The position of patriarch has always been held by the eldest son, Zhangzi.

Jiang Yongsheng's relationship with the current clan leader is neither close nor far away. He and the clan leader's father are the same great-grandfather, and the clan leader even calls him uncle.

Hearing that Jiang Mingshun was to be adopted as his second wife, the clan leader Jiang Mingde frowned and thought. This was a matter of course, but he was rushing to the Bai family's production stall, as if he was in a hurry to push the person out, which always felt unreasonable. .
