Everyone guessed that Li Zhiyuan would definitely not give so many dowries to the Lu family, I am afraid that Jingming's family affair this time will be blown.

But when Xu Xiye's family was reunited, Li Zhiyuan suddenly said that Li Jingming's family affair was completed, and he was going to marry a daughter-in-law on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.

At that time, An Ning was cooking in the kitchen with Liu Ru and An Jinling, and when she heard the movement outside, she hurriedly came out to see.

When she came out, she heard Zhang Fengfeng ask Li Zhiyuan: "What the hell is going on? You really promised to give so many dowries?"

Li Zhiyuan was also very worried about this.

"If you don't give it, you can't do it. ”

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Fengfeng was very angry, and Li Baolai also turned off the TV and asked.

Li Zhiyuan took a cigarette, thought that it was indoors, and put the cigarette back: "Jing Ming has to marry that Lu Yi, after you leave, the little girl from the family ran out of the house, and they all knelt down for us, crying a lot of tears and snot, saying that if Jing Ming doesn't marry her, she won't be able to live, and human life is involved, what else do you say?"

Zhang Fengfeng was also stunned.

The kitchen also came out to ask.

Li Zhiyuan sighed: "Lu Yi is not born to the Lu family, she is adopted, I heard her say that Lu Fu and his family can't have children, and I don't know who said that holding a child to raise for a few years may bring a biological one, that Lan Cui had this thought, and then went out to catch the market just when someone threw the child and ran, she went over to take a look, it was a very white little girl, the little girl was quite handsome, so she took the child home to raise." ”

Zhang Fengfeng frowned: "In such a family, the child is from this kind of background, and it will be a big trouble in the future." ”

Li Zhipeng also said: "Yes, what if the child's biological parents are also found?"

Li Zhiyuan was even more worried: "The key is not this, the key is that the Lu family really gave birth to a son later, but this son has had polio since he was a child, and it is a matter of marrying a daughter-in-law in the future, so the Lu family asked for such a high bride price." ”

He smiled bitterly: "Lu Yi's life in the Lu family is not easy at all, she has to do a lot of work every day, and she has to take care of her younger brother, that child is not good at doing things, everything must be taken care of, Lan Cui is not a person, and told Lu Yi that if she doesn't come to the high dowry, she will marry Lu Yi to her younger brother, and save her worries about marrying a daughter-in-law in the future." ”

Tang Shi, who was playing with the children in another room, didn't know how to hear this sentence, and her face turned white all of a sudden.

Li Jingyu saw that Tang Shi's appearance was wrong, and quickly held her hand: "Shishi, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing. ”

Tang Shiqiang laughed: "I'm fine." ”

"It's really not personal. ”

Zhang Fengfeng scolded.

Li Zhicheng looked at Li Zhiyuan with disapproval: "You poor little girls, but you can't pull your own family into it, you are marrying a daughter-in-law, you are preparing to alleviate poverty." ”

The corners of Sun Xiumei's mouth were a little bitter: " We really didn't want to, and told Lu Yi, we can't control this matter, but Jingming, the child, is dead-eyed, saying that he has to marry someone else's little girl, and then we can't help it, so we discussed with the Lu family, and signed an agreement with them, we gave the bride price, gave the bride price, Lu Yi married into our family is our family, and since then it has nothing to do with the Lu family, and they can't come to Lu Yi for any reason in the future, if they don't agree, we will call the police, saying that they kidnap and sell children, even if they don't call the police, Lu Yi is not their biological child, they don't have formal adoption procedures, Lu Yi left in a fit of anger and left them aloneNor do they have any position to ask for children. ”

An Ning looked at Sun Xiumei and thought about it for a while.

She said, when they first met, she saw that Miss Lu Yi was not simple, and now that she looks at it, it is indeed so.

The little girl is afraid that she has already planned it.

When she talked to Li Jingming, she thought about the way back, and at this time, people were using the Li family to get rid of the Lu family's control over her.

That agreement must have been proposed by Lu Yi, otherwise, Li Zhiyuan and his wife would not have been able to come up with this method.

But think about it again, Li Jingming's child is a bit naïve, marrying such a shrewd little girl as Lu Yi is not a good thing, as long as Lu Yi really likes Li Jingming and really lives a good life with him, maybe he will be able to live a very good life in the future.

Therefore, An Ning didn't say anything.

Sun Xiumei said so, and the Li family didn't say anything if they had any thoughts in their hearts.

Zhang Fengfeng was a little worried: "What should Jing Dong and Jing Qiu do if they marry their daughters-in-law after that?"

Li Zhiyuan smiled: "When will I talk about what time, now I will do it for Jingming first, and when Jingdong comes, if his daughter-in-law dares to ask for such a high bride price, then let her mother's family sign an agreement." ”

Anyway, the matter was clear, and everyone didn't bother to ask anything.

After a while, the meal was served, and everyone had a lively reunion dinner.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, An Ning took a few children to pay New Year's greetings to the elders, and took red envelopes and stayed at home for a day.

Xiao Yuan took Tang Shi back to Shanqian Village.

He has been floating outside for several years and has not returned home, but he has sent a lot of money to Zhang Erfeng and his family, this time he adopted the child, so he took the child home to recognize the family.

Before, Xiao Yuan called Zhang Erfeng and said that he wanted to go back.

Zhang Erfeng got up early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, killed chickens and fish, and made a large table of dishes.

It wasn't until almost noon that Xiao Yuan drove home.

At this time, the Xiao family's house had been renovated.

The dilapidated house had been demolished a long time ago, and a two-story small western-style building was built on the basis of the original homestead.

Xiao Yuan drove the car into the yard, pushed the car door, and got out of the car with Tang Shi.

Zhang Erfeng, who heard the movement, came out of the house, and his eyes were red when he saw Xiao Yuan, but he was obviously stunned when he saw Tang Shi.

"W-what's going on?"

Xiao Yuan took Tang Shi to the house: "Mother, go into the house first, enter the house and say." ”

Zhang Erfeng followed into the house, Xiao Qing was setting dishes and chopsticks in the house, and smiled when he saw Xiao Yuan: "I'm back." ”

Xiao Yuan asked Tang Shi to sit down and said to Xiao Qing: "Dad, I brought something, you and I go and move the things down." ”

Xiao Qing agreed, and walked out side by side with Xiao Yuan.

After the father and son emptied the trunk, they returned to the house to warm up for a while, and Zhang Erfeng asked Xiao Yuan: "What's the matter with this child?"

Xiao Yuan smiled: "This is your granddaughter, Tang Shi, called grandma." ”

Tang Shi hurriedly stood up and called sweetly to Zhang Erfeng: "Grandma." ”

Then, she turned around and called Xiao Qing again: "Grandpa." ”

Xiao Qing was a little in a hurry, he hurriedly agreed, then touched his pocket, took out twenty yuan and handed it to Tang Shi: "Master has so much money on him today, you take it first, and then I will make up for you later." ”

Zhang Erfeng's face was a little bad.

She grabbed Xiao Yuan: "You come with me." ”

The two of them entered the back room, and Xiao Qing called Tang Shi to talk and asked her how old she was, what grade she was in, and so on.

As soon as Zhang Erfeng entered the room, he lowered his face: "What's the matter with this kid? Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

Xiao Yuan smiled: "I met this child when I was doing business in the south, she helped me a little, I know that she has no mother, and she is beaten and scolded at home all day long, anyway, life is hard, I think I have no children, and I don't want to get married again, it is better to adopt this child, and bring her back." ”

Zhang Erfeng almost didn't cry when he heard this: "You, how can you be like this......? Isn't this the last thing for our family? ”

Xiao Yuan scolded Zhang Erfeng: "What is the future, I am not your own child, I am not also adopted, I will change the surname of the child another day, is it not the same as our Xiao, if you are afraid that there is no top door, the child will not be surnamed Xiao if he gives birth to a child in the future." ”

"This ......"

Xiao Yuan said a sentence to Zhang Erfeng's heart.

If you really say that it is the last one, the old Xiao family will be the last one from her generation, after all, Xiao Yuan was not born to her, it was the child of the old Li family, and she was raised by her cheeky nature, since it was adopted, then Xiao Yuan was not willing to raise one.

But she was still a little awkward: "Even if you want to raise it, you should hold a male baby to raise, and you should hold a small one to be able to raise it." ”

Xiao Yuan sneered: "Don't tell me anything about male and female babies, let me tell you, raising a female baby can be raised, female babies don't find roots, male babies are older and people's biological parents are looking for them, I'm afraid people will have to separate from us, besides, how can male babies have female babies intimate, just say my aunt, that time I almost died, which of her six sons is in front of me, if it weren't for the peace of the people, I'm afraid there would have been no one like her, if my aunt has a daughter, then she can still talk to the girl about something, but it will be different for her son and daughter-in-law." ”

Xiao Yuan saw that Zhang Erfeng was a little moved, so he said again: "Tang Shi's mother is long gone, her father is out of tune, her grandmother and uncle bullied her as a family, she was soaked in bitter water, let's be kind to her, she can not be grateful, this child is also a person who values love and righteousness, and will definitely provide for me in the future." ”

Zhang Erfeng opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she felt that what Xiao Yuan said was reasonable, and she really couldn't refute it.

"Do you recognize this kid?"

Xiao Yuan forced Zhang Erfeng to express his position: "If you think it will be successful, I will take the child to change the surname another day, if you are not happy to admit it, my aunt said that the child can be surnamed Li." ”

said that the child's surname was Li, but it really scared Zhang Erfeng.

She is timid now, mainly because Xiao Yuan has not returned home for many years, and she is really afraid.

She was afraid that Xiao Yuan would ignore her and have nothing to rely on when she was old, so as soon as she heard Zhang Fengfeng say that she accepted the child, she was afraid that Xiao Yuan would be closer to Zhang Fengfeng, so she hurriedly said: "Cheng, I admit it, don't you recognize it, isn't it okay for you to do this, you are good, I just said a word, you have thousands of sentences to top me." ”

Xiao Yuan smiled at this time: "Mother, it's good if you want to open it, let me tell you, don't be patriarchal like other families in the village, according to me, whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as you raise it well, it can be of great use, let's cultivate poetry well, and you and my father will enjoy happiness in the future." ”

Xiao Yuan is now in his thirties and almost forty, but he has no sons and half daughters, and seeing that the children of the people in the village who are about the same age as Xiao Yuan are about to marry daughters-in-law, Zhang Erfeng and Xiao Qing are also in a hurry.

But Xiao Yuan had a big idea, and they couldn't control it.

Zhang Erfeng watched other people's old ladies play with their grandchildren, she was actually quite envious, and now that Xiao Yuan brought back such a big granddaughter and explained her, she immediately rejoiced in her heart.

Xiao Yuan was still afraid that Zhang Erfeng would not be good for Tang Shi, so he added: " Mother, let's be at home and harmonious in the future, raising children with one mind is better than anything else, you see my aunt, how good people are to An Ning, that's just a former daughter-in-law, but now, An Ning is better than my aunt than my daughter, you say, if you are good to Shishi, Shishi can ignore you, I am rich now, children can learn whatever they want, and Shishi is very smart, let's go to the city, hire a good teacher for the child, let the child also learn the piano, learn to paint, learn to dance, and marry a good family in the future, then the scenery. ”

Zhang Erfeng really confused Xiao Yuan's happy prospects.

She nodded vigorously: "You're right, you're right, the children are all brought, we can't treat others badly, you wait......"

Zhang Erfeng rummaged through the cabinet and took out a jade pendant of poor jade quality, found a red envelope, filled it with a lot of money, and came out with it.

She looked at Tang Shi with a smile: "Shishi, grandma has a good thing for you." ”

Tang Shi smiled and passed, Zhang Erfeng handed the jade pendant to Tang Shi: "This is the heirloom of our Xiao family, passed down from our ancestors, and now grandma will hand it over to you." ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Erfeng gave Tang Shi a big red envelope: "This is given to you by your grandparents, you take it and buy delicious food, and when you go back to the city, you go to the mall and buy a few good clothes." ”
