Chapter 63 Going home, no longer a family
For a while, Li Zhengmin, who was previously disliked by his own father, also had three fragrant times. In the end, the fierce old woman Cui was one step ahead, and defeated the third grandfather of the Li family and the seventh uncle by a slight advantage. There's no way, whoever lets the Li family have three rooms, or the seventh uncle and ancestor are in the same lineage, there is still a male heir. Unlike the second room of the Li family, there is only one left, Mrs. Cui, who used to be a child daughter-in-law.
"Since the people will be recorded in the name of the old woman and the man in the future, they are the people of the second room. Shouldn't the name be changed? When Mrs. Cui saw that Li Xiaofeng knew that Li Zhengmin would be the only son in the second room of the Li family, her eyes flickered a few times. I immediately thought of what had happened before, so I opened my mouth to stop Li Zhengshu, who was going to re-register his household registration information and modify his family tree by the way.
Li Pinghai, who was not very comfortable in his heart, saw that his unwanted son had to change his name, so he became more and more unhappy. In Li Pinghai's view, his son is his. He can do without, but the son must not do anything to be sorry for him in the opposite direction. Even before all, he realized that he might have done something wrong, but as a son, he should be considerate, is it possible to let him, the old man, apologize to him?
In Li Pinghai's concept, there is a kind of "because he is Lao Tzu, he is always right!" If you do something wrong on any day, please refer to the first point. The taste.
Li Zhengmin naturally noticed the unhappiness on his father's face, but Li Zhengmin, who had been scarred by Li Pinghai, gritted his teeth and chose to ignore it, and respectfully bowed to Mrs. Cui and said, "It's all up to my mother." ”
"Since you have called the old woman 'mother', the mother will be the master for you, the son who does not let people worry!" Mrs. Cui has been looking forward to it for more than 20 years, and finally waited for someone to call her mother. In this heart, how happy Menti was.
"I remember that when my second brother was alive, he always said, 'If you are not indifferent, you will not have a clear ambition, and if you are not quiet, you will not be far-reaching'. In the future, it will take the homonym of the people's character and call it Zhengming. ”
"Masaaki?" Li Zhengmin didn't expect that he would still be called Zhengmin in the end, but this "people" changed to "Ming".
"Masaaki is good." The Seventh Uncle Ancestor said fearing that the world would not be chaotic, "Since you have changed your name, simply, change it again." In the future, Zhengmin, the fourth son of the Li family, will be regarded as having died in an accident, and it will also give the boss Zhengguo a reasonable excuse to inherit under the name of Li Feng. As for Zhengming, he should be the eldest son of my son who died young, and he will be the heir to the second room. ”
“……”
The words of the Seventh Uncle Ancestor fell, and everyone present looked at the Seventh Uncle Ancestor with strange eyes almost at the same time. Although the Seventh Uncle Ancestor is also from Li Zhengmin's point of view, he wants him to refuse more openly in front of Li Pinghai, the expired father, in the future. But if you want to say that the Seventh Uncle Ancestor has no selfishness and kills everyone, everyone present does not believe it. It's just that the seventh uncle ancestor relied on his eldest age and the highest seniority, and he had thick skin, so he didn't have any adverse reactions. On the contrary, Li Pinghai was so angry that he almost fainted directly.
If you want to say that the Seventh Uncle Ancestor has changed like this, it can be said that the father-son relationship between Li Zhengmin (Ming) and Li Pinghai has been completely cut off from the root. Although everyone in the entire Li Jiatun knows who Li Zhengmin's biological father is, as the older generation gradually receives boxed lunches, those younger generations who are young and do not do anything are not subject to the genealogical records in the end?
Li Zhengshu quickly changed his household registration and revised his family tree, and he only needed to take the household registration and go to the yamen for the record. Since then, Li Zhengmin is Li Zhengming, the heir of the seventh uncle and ancestor of the seventh room to the second room, and there is no relationship with the fourth room of the Li family except for being relatives of the same clan.
Li Zhengming did not ask for the dowry of his mother Li Feng, which made Li Pinghai very angry while being happy. The reason why I am happy is naturally because I don't have to give the son I hate a copper plate, as for being angry...... In Li Pinghai's opinion, this son who should be forever unlucky and troubled avoided him, his pro-Laozi, and climbed to such a high branch as the second room. Thinking that from now on, this annoying son will be able to eat and drink spicy food in the second room every day, completely ignoring that he, the old man, is still drinking gruel, Li Pinghai is not angry.
This is unfilial piety! It's a big unfilial pie.
However, the wood has been completed. Li Pinghai has no choice but to take Li Zhengming.
Because they needed to go back to Lizheng's house to go through the relevant change procedures, the group that was still discussing things in the fourth room of the Li family moved to Li Zhengshu's red-tiled and white-walled compound. At this moment, seeing that everything had been done, Li Pinghai, who only felt that his chest was stuffy with a sigh of relief, didn't care about the elders and young, and turned his head directly and walked outside, but he didn't want to be tripped by the high threshold when he passed the threshold, and the whole person threw himself directly towards the uneven ground.
"Daddy!" Li Zhengmin instinctively rushed to the forefront. But when he pulled Li Pinghai back, he shrank back at the speed of light, and said respectfully, "Fourth uncle, be careful." ”
"Dad, you didn't fall, did you?" Li Zhengguo slowed down a lot and asked a little hindsightly.
"Fourth brother, this person is old and doesn't listen to his hands and feet very much. So...... It's better to be careful. The third grandfather of the Li family had an obvious schadenfreude expression on his face.
Li Pinghai shook off Li Zhengguo's hand that stepped forward to support him, and walked out of the courtyard door angrily.
"Akiko, go home with your mother." Mrs. Cui's mood is obviously much better than Li Pinghai's, "Hui Niang and the children should be in a hurry." ”
"Hey, mother, you, you go slowly." Li Zhengming, who was still looking at Li Pinghai's back in a daze, saw that Mrs. Cui was also about to leave, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Akiko, although father and son don't have an overnight feud. But your father is a fool, holding a fish eye as a pearl. Before he came back to his senses, you still stayed away......" Mrs. Cui gently patted Li Zhengming's left hand holding her tightly.
"Mother, what are you talking about? I, I'm the son of the second room......" Li Zhengming pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying.
Li Zhengming's reaction now, Mrs. Cui is still satisfied. After all, Li Pinghai is no longer the same, and he has raised Li Zhengming for more than 20 years. If Li Zhengming is not sad at all. On the contrary, Mrs. Cui will feel that Li Zhengming, the four-room nephew, is too terrible, and the father and son can be so unconcerned about family affection, and in the future, she, the adoptive mother who has never raised her, will only have no family affection at all.
Although Mrs. Cui is older than Li Zhengming's father and brothers, she is not to the point where she needs someone to help her walk. But this time, I don't know if it was because I was a little in a little bad mood for half an afternoon before, or because I did it on purpose, I came out of the main courtyard and went back to my yard, and Mrs. Cui was supported by Li Zhengming. However, the courtyard where the Li family's second room is located is behind the four-room homestead, and the middle is half a point apart.
On the way home, there is only one yellow mud road. In the afternoon, Li Xu's family was forced to jump into the well by the three mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Li family, and there was a stir in the village at this time. If it weren't for Li Zhengshu talking to the Seventh Uncle Ancestor, the people in the village would not be allowed to gather around the courtyard of Lizheng to watch the excitement, otherwise they would have to surround the small courtyard of Lizheng on the third floor and the outer three layers.
Li Pinghai, who had a gloomy face, walked in front with his eldest son, and Li Zhengming helped Mrs. Cui to walk behind, one after the other, it was difficult not to arouse the curiosity and gossip of the villagers who had not completely dispersed. So when the people in the village learned that Li Zhengming had changed his name, and he had nothing to do with the Li family's fourth room except for being relatives of the same clan, they said anything.
Except for a few people who are good friends with Li Xiaofeng's family, who secretly ridicule Li Zhengming's family for their good lives and lack of conscience, the vast majority of villagers are still very happy for Mrs. Cui and Li Zhengming. Mrs. Cui can find a satisfactory filial son for the second room of the Li family and continue the heirs of the second house, and Li Zhengming's family finally no longer has to be bullied by the fourth room, isn't it a double happiness.
Listening to the blessings of the surrounding villagers, Mrs. Cui's mood became better and better: "Catch up with Ming'er to find an auspicious day for the zodiac, everyone will come to the old woman for a meal, let's have a good time." ”
"Hey, definitely, definitely!"
"It's rare for the second aunt to be so generous. This time, even if you drive me away, I won't leave. The one who spoke was a young daughter-in-law from the side branch, who had only been married to Lijiatun for a few years, and had frequent contacts with Mrs. Cui on weekdays, so she had less worries and more casual when she spoke.
"Look at what the stone daughter-in-law said, as long as you can eat the stone daughter-in-law that day, the old woman will be full, so that your gluttonous little daughter-in-law can eat until she can't eat anymore." After hearing this, Mrs. Cui laughed.
"Second aunt~" The stone daughter-in-law said with some embarrassment, causing the surrounding villagers to laugh even more happily.
These happy laughter spread to the fourth room of the Li family, and in addition to the harshness, there was endless resentment. This time, for the four rooms of the Li family, from Li Xiaofeng's family to Li Qian's family and Li Zhao's family, it can be said that it has planted a big heel. Although Li Zheng and the elders of the clan looked at Li Zhengming's face and did not severely punish Li Xiaofeng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they still locked the three in the room behind the ancestral hall where sundries were piled up, and punished them for cleaning all the dishes. In addition, he had to take out 20 taels of silver as compensation for medical expenses to Li Zhengming's family.
If it is said that the labor punishment is a small punishment and a big precept for Li Xiaofeng, who has been pampered for several years, then twenty taels of silver is undoubtedly digging a large piece of meat in her heart, which is enough to make her flesh hurt. Of course, these are not the most severe: when the Seventh Uncle Ancestor announced that Li Xiaofeng and his two daughters-in-law had a big record in the clan, the Li Zhao family, who had already been mentally prepared, was also taken aback. has a big demerit in the clan, and it seems that the punishment is not heavy, but all the little daughters-in-law who married into Li Jiatun are most afraid of this. It's okay if you keep to yourself and don't have any more accidents in the future, but if you have a verbal dispute with someone, even if it's just a trivial matter, no matter who is right or wrong, the person who has a demerit will be directly abandoned and returned to her mother's family.
Li Xiaofeng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are three, except for Li Zhao's family, the reputation in Lijiatun is not good, except for a few relationships that are not bad, most of the village has had small frictions, quarrels, and some have even escalated the contradictions and evolved into martial arts. If those who have suffered losses in the past and remember their hatreds, they have nothing to find fault with and deliberately cause contradictions in their tongues...... When the time comes, it will be difficult not to be abandoned. Therefore, this punishment does not seem to be heavy, but in fact, it has tied a string to the three of Li Xiaofeng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that may explode at any time.
