Ten years ago, Xie Wu gave birth to his second daughter, his wife was ligated again, he had no children under his knees, and there was no child in the house.

Shu Zhiqiang took the initiative to offer that he was willing to give his eldest son to Xie Wu to raise, and let his nephew pass on to his step-uncle.

However, according to the local customs and family rules, if you really want to get your nephew to pass your step-uncle, you must obtain the consent of the Xie family. If the childless household agrees with the clan, it is agreed that the nephew will pass the step-uncle, and the nephew will settle down in the uncle's house, and the successor document must be written: the child is incompetent, voluntarily inherited, changed his name and surname, obeyed everything, and made empty words without evidence.

According to the old rules, three people and six sides, face to face gong, opposite drum, nephew promised to his uncle to pass on the lineage, extend the heirs, continue the incense, and change the surname and name, according to the clan of the generation, the pedigree arrangement, re-take the word, re-take the number, and then enter the genealogy when repairing the spectrum, indicating that so-and-so was succeeded by so-and-so as a son, what was the relationship between the two in the past, and what is the relationship after that, one by one, so as not to miss the descendants.

But Xie Wu's elder brother Xie Wen has a son, and he follows the old clan rules of taking care of the inside and the outside, and the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, even if he succeeds, Xie Wen's son is the priority. Once it is clear and put on the table of the ancestral hall, the nephew and step-uncle will definitely be unanimously voted by the Xie family, otherwise, they will definitely fully support the nephew and step-uncle.

Xie Wu discussed with the elders in the family, but was blocked by the public, Xie Wen had a son, and the clan had sufficient reasons to object.

The so-called adoptive means that the parents of childless households can buy or bring other people's boys, raise them as adults, and provide for their own old age. Holding a succession ceremony and writing documents is just to ensure a kind of title, so that his non-biological body can be recognized by the family, have the status of a clan, and be able to inherit his family property. In general, adoptive

You also have to abide by the clan rules from relatives to alienation, from near to far, as the saying goes, there are thousands of years of family, there are no thousands of years of relatives, so nephews take precedence over nephews.

Patriarch Xie Qingyuan said: "Oh, how can there be such patriarchal rules in the world? If you really want to go your own way, don't say that his surname is Shu, even if you change your surname to Shu, you can change your surname to Shu, but you can't have the surname Xie, let alone want to go to the family tree with the surname Xie!"

Uncle Xie Qingfeng said: "Ho, dumb two, you are very capable? At what age will you not let your nephew support your uncle to hold up the door! Zhang Luo has passed on to you, do you know how to write the word succession? No emperor has passed on the throne to his nephew! Don't you have a nephew? Don't you have a cousin? Have all the boys in the family died?

The third brother, Xie Han, said: Now that the man can settle in the woman's house, you have two daughters, you can recruit a son-in-law!

The fourth brother Xie Ying said: It is not wrong to say that the second brother-in-law's dog takes a mouse lightly, and it is not wrong to scold him for throwing off the burden, even if he wants to pass the line, why don't you want to mention the second son? The idiot gave it to you to raise, you have raised it, can you support your old man? Can you inherit your incense? I really don't understand, what are you trying to do?

The fifth brother Xie Xiong said: After you die, this burden will either be left to your daughter or to us, and his Shu family will be wiped out, everyone here, who is more stupid than you, and can't understand this?

The eldest brother Xie Wen said: This kind of lack of morality is due to him? These bastard words, he can say it? Is he thinking about you? It is obvious that he is poisoning you!

The family is opposed, the brothers are opposed, Shu Zhiqiang asked about this matter again, Xie Wu neither said that he agreed with his nephew to pass his step-uncle, nor did he mention his nephew's step-uncle, he only said, "I am not afraid of being late to give birth to a cub, I am not afraid of being late, I am still young, there is no need to be anxious about this kind of thing, when I am old, it is not too late to talk about it!"

was politely rejected, who knew that Shu Zhiqiang was still obsessed with money, ignorant, and obsessed. When Xie Wu died, he took the initiative again to let his second son take the filial piety ceremony, wear linen and filial piety, salute in battle, hold the spirit and cry, support the coffin to send the funeral, engage in the ceremony of the nephew inheriting the uncle, and make a letter of succession, promising to change the name and surname, inherit the ancestors, support the door and top the household, and pass on the incense to the future generations.

At that time, Xie Ying also had a son, even if Xie Wen's family and Xie Wu's family were not harmonious, even if Xie Wen did not agree with his son to give Xie Wu a spirit card, there was still Xie Ying's son who could take over. Although Xie Ying's son is only a few months old and only knows how to breastfeed in his mother's arms, it is not without precedent for him to be held by his father and walk through the funeral ceremony.

The difference between inheritance and succession is that inheritance can be inherited by several families, and succession is limited to succession to one. Adoption is equivalent to an adopted son, the adoptive father has the obligation to raise him, and the adopted son has the obligation to provide for the elderly and send him to the end of his life, and to sweep the tomb and sacrifice. As the saying goes, an adoptive son is not a child, and an adopted son and his biological parents are required to sever all relationships, including not recognizing each other and not interacting. A few days before his death, he appointed a man as his heir, sent him to the end, sent him to the funeral, and swept the grave, and the return condition was to inherit his family property. In the event of an unexpected death, the family will negotiate and appoint someone as his heir. Since he is a nominal son, the relationship with his biological parents remains the same, but he has inherited an additional family property.

The common denominator of succession and inheritance is that they must follow the clan rules from relatives to sparse, from near to far, first inside and then outside. That is to say, the nephew inherits the uncle, in the first place, the nephew inherits the uncle, the candidate qualification, the nephew inherits the uncle, the last one, besides, the family strengthens the concept of bloodline, pays attention to the difference between inside and outside, some ancestral secret recipes, a certain exclusive skill, must be passed on to men and women, with the mentality that fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, not to mention the property of the clan, if there is no direct nephew, there are collateral nephews, there are no nephews within five suits, and there are clan sons. It can even be said that it is almost impossible for a nephew to inherit his uncle, and the chances are very small, pitifully small, about equal to zero.

Shu Zhiqiang's suggestion was not only contrary to etiquette, but also contrary to the way of relatives, and even more contrary to reason, and was unanimously opposed by the Xie family, uncles and nephews, and was unanimously vetoed.

In the end, under the persuasion of the clansmen, the deceased was the greatest, the people were dead, and the grievances were lost, Xie Wen agreed that his son would give Xie Wu a linen belt of filial piety, and the filial piety ceremony.

Two years ago, Xie Xiong's third daughter had just been born, and in the corridor of the obstetrics and gynecology department of a big hospital, Shu Zhiqiang still had a thief's heart and still said: I said that he didn't have a cub in his life, but he still didn't believe it, I said that I would give my second son to him to raise, but he still didn't agree, how about it?

On the spot, Xie Ying said: Now, there are several boys in the Xie family, let him choose!

Xie Wen also said: The boy of my Xie family, I can also line up, and it is not your turn to intervene in it!

Xie Han said: Now men and women are equal, boys and girls are the same, daughters also have the right to inherit, and daughters can also retire in old age!

Shu Zhiqiang was obsessed with money, and repeatedly proposed that he would give his second son to Xie Xiong to raise, and still wanted to get his nephew to pass on his step-uncle.

No one accosted him, leaving him to talk to himself. They all muttered behind their backs, saying that he was too lazy, too stupid, too naïve, didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and he was whimsical all day long, trying to thank the family's industry, just daydreaming.
