Chapter III: Succession

Sang Yu was able to get out of bed the next day after waking up, although the bones in his body still hurt very much, but it hurt even more when he was lying in bed. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Lin Dashan walked around the house a few times, and it was really much better, probably lying on the bed for more than a month, and his bones were stiff. After exercising like this, it was really much easier.

Sang Yu waited in the house for a long time, and didn't see Lin Dashan come back, he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, so he slowly walked to the kitchen, saying that it was the kitchen, but there was no roof, there was a lot of thatch piled up in the corner, and there was only a small jar on the stove, Sang Yu opened the jar, there was only a small half jar of salt in it, and there was a wooden cabinet next to the mud wall, the door of the cabinet was gone, and there were only some broken bowls inside.

Why is it said to be a broken bowl, because every bowl is broken, and there is no perfect one. Not only was it broken, but there was something black on the rim of the bowl.

Sang Yu frowned and tilted his face to the side, this house is really unusually poor.

One poor and two white, probably this is the situation.

After turning around and not seeing rice or anything, Sang Yu returned to the hall a little discouraged, and couldn't help complaining about Lin Dashan, he came back very early on weekdays, why didn't he come back so late today, could it be that he forgot?

If you want to say that this Lin Dashan, I went out before dawn, and I was busy until the sun rose, wiped a handful of sweat, and planned to go home with a hoe.

As soon as he put on his hoe, he heard someone calling him.

I saw Lin Dafa coming from afar, with a customary smile on his face, "Big brother, you're still busy." ”

Lin Dafa is the second eldest of the Lin family, although he is only one year younger than Lin Dashan, but from the face of it, he is much younger than Lin Dashan.

Because he studied when he was a child and took the township examination, although he did not pass the examination, he was a learned person in the village. He now teaches in the only school in the village.

He wore a navy blue robe all the year round, just made of ordinary fabric, but there were no patches on it. Unlike Lin Dashan, his face is thin, and even his body is as thin as a bamboo pole.

Today, he is a father of three.

Lin Dashan wiped his sweat with the handkerchief around his neck, which was full of patches, and he could no longer see the original color, and the brown spots were all over it, he looked at this younger brother who had studied, and his heart was very proud.

"Yes, while it's still early, hoe the weeds in the field, it's too late to plant crops now, wait a while, plant some vegetables, and this year will be over."

With a satisfied smile on his face, Lin Dafa couldn't help but sneer in his heart, just this place, if it could grow food, he would not have abandoned it in the first place. There was no disdain on his face, "Big brother is so capable, this year will definitely be a bumper harvest." By the way, eldest brother, my father and mother asked you to go home, saying that there was something to discuss with you. ”

Lin Dafa hurriedly said the purpose of coming today, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't want to run so far on such a hot day, how good it would be to sit at home and drink herbal tea.

When Lin Dashan heard this, all his nerves became nervous, "Second brother, what do you have to tell me, is my mother's headache again, then I will hurry up to find Old Man Li, you go back to take care of your father and mother first." As he spoke, he was about to throw the hoe on his shoulder, Lin Dafa hurriedly grabbed his arm, "Big brother, my father and mother are fine, everything is fine, don't worry, you don't have to go to Old Man Li, it's just that my mother said that I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you, let you go back and see." ”

When Lin Dashan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard Lin Dafa say that the Wang family missed him, the corners of his eyes suddenly became wet, and he turned his back and wiped his tears, "Second brother, then let's go, don't let my father and mother wait for a long time." ”

Shouldering the hoe and leaving, Lin Dafa followed behind him, and the two brothers were talking with each other.

Xiaolin Village was originally not big, and after a while, it was at the doorstep.

Lin Dashan put the hoe outside the courtyard door, patted the dirt on his body again, and then walked in after Lin Dafa.

"Dad, mother, big brother is here."

As soon as Lin Dafa entered the courtyard gate, he shouted loudly.

Wang was feeding the chickens, and when he heard the voice, he reflexively turned his head and glared at Lin Dafa, "It's coming, it's coming, it's not an outsider, shouting so loudly." He poured all the leaves into the chicken coop and wiped his hands on his apron before going into the house.

Wang actually has some resentment in his heart, this Sang Yu has only woken up for three days, and the boss will not come to the house, and he will forget his mother when he has a daughter-in-law.

Lin Dafa had already gone into the house to drink tea, and looked at Lin Dashan standing straight in the hall, with disdain in the corners of his eyes.

Hmph, this eldest brother has a wooden temperament, just like the wood, and the clothes on his body are not as good as the begging person, how can he compare with himself. Look at the pair of big feet full of mud, heh, it is worthy of mud legs, how can he be a scholar to come to the scenery.

Wang washed his hands and sat down on the chair next to Old Man Lin, at this time there was already a large group of people standing in the room, Lin Dafa and his daughter-in-law Chen, Lin Dayou and Zhang, Lin Dashi and Li, and even Lin Lixiang.

"Boss, I guess you also understand what Old Man Li said, there were too many people that day, and I don't want to ask you in detail, I came to you today to ask you, what do you think in your heart? Now there are no outsiders here, and you don't need to be taboo about anything. ”

Wang sat on a chair and looked at his eldest son, who was standing respectfully in the middle of the room, with his hands hanging and looking wooden.

Lin Dashan didn't speak, but he heard Chen's eyes slanted over there, and he sneered, "What else can I do, of course it's a letter of resignation, a woman who can't give birth to a son is just like a hen that doesn't lay eggs, what's the use." Besides, the little sister has also reached the age of saying kiss, if there is a sister-in-law who can't have children, don't let people gossip when the time comes. It's just that, since our family rescued the woman, naturally we can't just let her go, in my opinion, mother, let's leave her as a rough maid. Mother, like the old lady of the rich family, enjoy pure happiness. ”

This is said to the heart of the Wang family, she also thinks so, although it will definitely cost a lot of money to marry her eldest son to a daughter-in-law, but at least she can leave a queen for the eldest house. Compared with money, grandsons are naturally more important than grandsons. As for letting Sang Yu be a maid, she really didn't think about it.

As soon as Chen said this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

When I went to the county to catch the market, I often watched the wives of those rich families hugging each other with maids by their side, not to mention how envious they were. However, where can I afford to raise a maid in my own situation? She never imagined that she would one day live like that.

Seeing the satisfaction on Wang's face, Chen snorted lightly in his heart, and glanced at Lin Dashan, who was standing straight in the middle of the hall, hum, I want to be my sister-in-law, no way.

After thinking about it for a while, he said to Lin Dashan, "Boss, you go back to write a letter of divorce first, anyway, the woman has woken up, and we are worthy of her, she can't have children, and she can't leave you a pension to send her to the end. After you write a letter of resignation, my mother will ask Mrs. Liu to tell you that the family is good, and when the time comes, you will still move to live at home, how good it is for our family to be harmonious and happy. As for your daughter-in-law, she must have nowhere to go, and she is very weak, so she should stay at home and serve my old woman. ”

"Yes, big brother, listen to the old man Li, this sister-in-law is very weak, she can't pick her shoulders and can't lift her hands, and she has to use good tonics to raise, she can't work, it's not easy for us to dig food in the soil, where is there so much money to deal with her, I'm afraid that I have to hollow out the family, what can our father and mother do, what can my little sister do?" Li looked at Lin Dashan with a bitter face, she only entered the door during the New Year, and it has only been half a year now, but the things hidden in her heart are not lost at all, this boss has already been divided, and everything in this family has nothing to do with the boss. She hurriedly opened her mouth, afraid that Lin Dashan would come to the house to ask for money in order to treat Sang Yu.

Lin Lihua originally only stood aside and listened quietly, but when she heard Li's words, she looked up at Lin Dashan suddenly, and her face suddenly realized. Suddenly, with tears in her eyes, she is fourteen years old, and the family is already starting to kiss her, if there is no dowry, who else wants her, even if she wants her, in her mother-in-law's house, I am afraid that I will not be able to get a good one.

Biting his lip and looking at Lin Dashan.

"Big brother."

Lin Dashan didn't expect that his own mother had the intention of letting him divorce his wife and remarry, and let Sang Yu be a maid. His chest suddenly ached, and in front of him was Sang Yu's clear eyes when he looked at him. He looked at his sister, who was the size of his daughter-in-law, and was looking at himself with full eyes at the moment, he lowered his head, his eyes were swollen, his hands were clenched and hung down, and when he looked up again, his eyes were red, but they were full of determination.

"Mother, since I married Sang Yu, she is my daughter-in-law, no matter whether she can have children or not, she is my daughter-in-law." raised his head, with tears faintly in his eyes, "My son is already twenty-seven, and I don't want my father and mother to worry about it anymore, if it is, if Sang Yu really can't have a child, my son, my son will admit it." ”

The Wang family had never seen the eldest son like this, and wanted to persuade him, but he heard the old man Lin sitting next to him say, "Since you have decided like this, treat other girls well, but you also know what the situation is in our family, and you can't afford those tonics, so don't blame the family for not helping you." ”

Old man Lin took a puff of dry tobacco, looked at the eldest son standing straight in front of him, and thought that he was still a small group at that time, but for a few small ones, he only got married until now, but he encountered such a thing again.

A few years ago, it was not that no one came to propose to the boss, the boss has always been diligent and a good worker, who does not boast in the village. It's just that the old woman is greedy for money and stingy, and she is reluctant to give the idea of a dowry, and she is partial to a few small ones. Alas, I lost him in the end.

"As for the heirs, choose one of your brothers' families and pass on one of them."

If someone has no son at home to support the elderly, they can choose a child from the clan and pass it to their own name, just ask the old man in the clan to be a witness.

Lin Dashan already has a few brothers, and the broken bones are still connected to the tendons, they are all a family, and this succession or something, it is just a formality.

Seeing that Old Man Lin had spoken, Wang had no choice but to pout, "Since your father said so, then let it be." And he sat aside, and said no more.

Chen's family is not dependent, now only she has two children in the family, although the third family has two children, but they are both daughters, and the fourth has only been married for half a year. Now that Old Man Lin said this, even the Wang family has no objection, isn't this just a hint that a son in her family will be passed on to the name of the boss?

That's her son. How could she be willing to send her son to suffer.

When he sat on the ground and cried, "Why did my father say that, the third brother has only two daughters in the family, and the fourth brother has only been married for half a year and has not given birth to a child yet, doesn't this mean that my family's big treasure and small treasure will be passed on to the eldest brother?" The big and small treasures were all born after I lost half my life, how can I give up? Dad, mother, Dabao and Xiaobao are also your grandsons, and you love them so much on weekdays, why are you willing to let them leave their mothers and go to someone else's house. Woooooooo ”

As soon as Chen said this, Lin Dafa's brows also furrowed.

He was a scholar, and he grew up reading the books of the sages. His son is naturally different from other children in the village, although the boss is a brother to him, but the boss is just a mud leg, what qualifications does he have to let his son die for him.

"Dad, mother, Dabao and Xiaobao are going to be the champions and officials in the future, is it possible that Dad and Mother want Dabao and Erbao to be mud legs like the eldest brother?"

Just this sentence made Old Man Lin speechless to the Wang family.

Zhang couldn't stand it. Chen's words just now made her angry and sad in her heart. It has been six years since she married into the Lin family, and now she only has two daughters, although Chunfeng and Chunyu are very well-behaved and obedient, but they are not men after all. Although she gave birth to a daughter, if she couldn't give birth to a son, what difference would she have from her eldest brother's family?

I didn't expect Chen to say something like that, poking at her heart every word. Looking at the silence on the faces of Old Man Lin and Wang, Zhang only felt that even the air was frozen and uncomfortable.

Wang looked at Chen, who was sitting on the ground wiping tears, and then at Zhang's Li, who looked nervous. There are two sons in the second son's family, but the second son also said just now that the two sons will be the champions and officials in the future, which is a major event for the glory of the ancestors, and it will not work to pass it on to the old family. But there are only two girls in the third son's family, and his youngest son has only been married for half a year. What can I do about this?

Lin Dashan stood in the hall, feeling extremely uncomfortable. The outsider who just said Chen was really digging out his heart.

He knelt on the ground with a bang and kowtowed three times to it, "Dad, mother, my son is not filial, I can't let my father and mother live a good life, and now I am still making my father and brother so embarrassed for my son." Rest assured, even if the son has no heirs in this life, he will not beat the nephews' ideas. ”

As soon as Lin Dashan's words came out, the atmosphere in the room was obviously relaxed.

Lao Sanlin looked at his eldest brother guiltily, others don't know, but he knows it in his heart, for so many years, if there is no eldest brother, they will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law. It's just that now he only has two daughters.

If he had a son, he would be willing to pass on one to his eldest brother.

Chen also let Lin Dafa pull up, and Wang sighed, "Since you said so, boss, then forget it." ”

Lin Dashan was reluctant to divorce his wife, she originally wanted Lin Dashan to marry a flat wife or concubine, but where was there so much money.

Besides, if the eldest marries a concubine, the second, third, and fourth will also want to marry in the future, if she doesn't allow it, the sons won't say that she is partial?

I had to sigh heavily.
