Chapter 30 Adoption
"How is your Uncle Shitou's injury now?"

"I went to the county and invited a doctor, and I showed it to him and my aunt. After three days of prescription, I got better. After that, I said that our family wanted to adopt a child. My uncle thought it was because he wanted to adopt him. The son immediately said no, and said that the money would definitely be returned, etc. I quickly said that I didn’t want to adopt my cousin, but my adoptive uncle, and he was stunned for a long time when he heard that.”

"Who would have imagined that he is so big."

"I just said what my mother meant. Anyway, everyone in our village is surnamed Sun. It is said that it is adopted. In fact, we don't even need to change the surname, and we don't even need to provide for the elderly. It is just a son. Sweeping the tomb to add soil. Uncle didn’t reply at that time, but my aunt said yes.”

"I'm afraid that the third uncle and the third aunt will make trouble. You don't know if you are young. You don't know how annoying that family is. When I sold pork, I always pestered them. I wanted to pay on credit. Now I still owe it. I went to ask for the money from my family, but they still said that it was my father who owed it, not me, and they would not pay back the money once my father left. I got angry when I mentioned it, and then I... Forget it, back then I won't talk about it. Did they make trouble this time?"

"They won't make a fuss, they were gone last winter."

"Gone?"

"Yes. I asked the people in the village, and they said that it was his family's little grandson last winter, the one my grandma loved the most, who fell into the river and drowned. The family said that she didn't take good care of the child, and she went to bed in a fit of anger. Hanged himself, and then grandpa fell ill, and passed away within a few months."

"Oh, it's also pitiful. This uncle's father is still a brother to my grandfather, and my aunt is a greedy little one. My grandma even scolded her. After that, our two families stopped interacting very much. Later, after my grandma passed away, The relationship between the two families is getting better. In fact, it’s not that good. In the past, they didn’t dare to say more when my grandma was buying meat. When my grandma is gone, they are sure that my father doesn’t like to care about it. Looks like we haven't issued five clothes yet, and their adults are gone, we still have to pay silk gold, have you given it?"

Speaking of this golden flower, he frowned, "I gave it, thinking that I might have to adopt it, and I paid extra, and each person paid three taels. But people were still not happy, and they said I was stingy everywhere, and said..."

"What did you say?" Mrs. Sun asked, and when she saw her faltering, she sneered, "All the wives in their family are full of shit, and Shitou's is better."

"Auntie is very powerful. Later, Uncle Shitou agreed to the adoption, and we went to the patriarch to do the paperwork, but the other uncles of the third grandpa's family disagreed, so they came to complain that Uncle Shitou was unfilial. Auntie scolded them all at once. , That's really amazing!" Jin Hua really admired her, she has all the strength but she is stupid, she is far inferior to her aunt.

"It's all thanks to my aunt that the paperwork was completed smoothly. When I left, I left ten taels of silver at home."

"His family is having a hard time now, so you should leave some money."

"The patriarch's grandfather also said that he would give the old house of the grandfather to the uncle's house."

After Sun's father passed away, her family's old house was taken back by the clan. This is also the rule of the clan. Correspondingly, the clan will arrange for people to clean up the cemetery for the descendant Sun clan members every year.But they definitely didn't have their own family's intentions in tidying up, and Sun's idea of ​​adoption was also moved because of this.

Jinhua officially completed the adoption after she received Sun's letter and Sun's consent. Before she finished, the people who were very aggressive came to the door to reduce the price. There is no one who is thick-skinned.Compared with the family she had chosen before, the Sun family also favored Sun Shitou. She originally wanted to find a man who could help the priest sweep the tomb, and it would be more convenient for him to be older.Moreover, Sun Shitou's parents passed away, so there will be less crooked things after that.

This time when I went home to visit the tomb, Aunt Li also picked up one of her nieces, who was finally born to her sister who married recently.Her brother-in-law was not a good person, he always beat people and beat her sister to death, and the two families lost contact.Her daughter had been begging for a living under the hands of her stepmother, and was often beaten by her father. Later, she was sold to a rich family as a rough envoy.

When Aunt Li went back this time, she asked someone to inquire clearly. Knowing that this girl had a hard time at the master's house, because she was always bullied because she was too honest, she redeemed her and brought her back to the Zhuangzi. She even talked about it for a few days. Take her to visit relatives in Chang'an City.Mrs. Sun also remembered that there was such an honest and pitiful distant cousin, but she didn't know that there was also a little niece.

Jinhua went back after more than a month. The two younger sisters naturally wanted to kiss each other, but Wang Momo was never more tolerant because of the long absence. After picking out the mistakes in Jinhua's behavior, she also said "" "Girl's Ring", alluding to her inappropriate going out this time.Jinhua listened and didn't speak, and only complained to Chunshui at night: "I will never marry into a family with strict rules in the future!"

The two of them went out for a while, and their relationship became closer. After Jinhua learned the rules for a few days, although she gained a bit of the air of a big lady, she still couldn't treat the maid who followed her as an inferior person.If my mother had been more ruthless back then, she might be the same as them now. It's just bad luck. She doesn't think she is nobler than them.Of course, she would not tell others about this idea.

After dinner, the two sisters took her to ask about what happened at home. When they heard that they had an uncle and cousin, Zhuhua curiously asked about the uncle.Both of them are well-informed in the village, and they have heard a few strange things that happened at Sun's natal family, and they are a little delicate when they know that the current uncle is actually one of the parties involved.

"Sister, is little cousin good?"

"Hey, you have a lot of energy, not that kind of stupid."

How can you tell at this age, Zhu Hua thought to herself, and said with a smile: "That's great, I will have a younger brother in the future. When will they come to Chang'an?"

"At the end of the year, people with fields in the village are always very busy, and they don't work less until winter."

"Uncle's family has a field?" Zhuhua asked, didn't it mean that he was a hunter, and had all the valuable things in the family been sold because of illness?
"That's not true. It's nothing if you don't have land. Didn't we live by hunting before? He can still bring his little cousin to Chang'an."

They mainly rely on breeding and slaughtering pigs, Zhu Hua said heartily, and then asked: "Is uncle very powerful? He can go hunting in the mountains to support the family after his foot is injured."

"Your uncle's name is too smooth." Yinhua glanced at her with some disgust, and asked Jinhua in a low voice: "Mother doesn't plan to support this family forever, does she?"

"They are good at hands and feet and have a tough temper. They won't let us keep them."

"It's hard to say." Yinhua pouted.

"Just think about Uncle Li and Aunt Li." Jin Hua argued impatiently with her, because she chose him, and she couldn't tear herself down now.

After talking for a while, Zhuhua saw that Jinhua was getting tired, so she left.After leaving the room, Yinhua who came out together pulled Zhuhua and asked in a low voice: "Do you want an uncle too?"

"Second Sister, this is what Mother decided, and I think it's pretty good."

"But……"

"Don't worry, mother will not lose your mother's dowry in the future."

Zhuhua patted the back of Yinhua's hand in an old-fashioned way, and made a face at her.Shy and angry, Yinhua chased after her and tried to beat her, but she ran away with a smile.

This girl is running faster and faster, Yinhua thought pantingly, adjusted her clothes, straightened her body and put on a young lady's demeanor, Shi Shiran went back to the room.
