Yang Wan was talking to Aunt Lin, and Biyun rushed into the house and said, "Second wife, the master is back." ”

In this era, everyone feels that the fate of a woman's life is tied to the man she marries, and she has the idea of "marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog", and Yang Wan is no exception.

Since marrying Lin Ruhai, Yang Wan can be said to have done everything well, Jia Min treats her kindly, and the people are respectful to her; Although Lin Ruhai is a little older, his appearance and talent are outstanding, and because he made a mistake, she was a good lady who should have married as the wife of the main house, but now she wronged her to be his concubine, so Lin Ruhai treated her very considerately. Therefore, one of her hearts was inevitably tied to Lin Ruhai's body.

Hearing the news that Lin Ruhai had returned, Yang Wan's face was full of surprise. She stood up suddenly, and the one who took three steps and made two steps was about to walk out.

"Stop!" Aunt Lin called out to her, and sighed helplessly when she looked at her eagerness to go out, and then said: "The backyard is in charge of the house's wife, she Jia Min didn't inform you, what are you going to do?" Don't hurry up and get me back! ”

Yang Wan, who was originally excited, suddenly felt as if she had eaten a handful of Coptis chinensis, and she was so miserable that she put away her smile and returned to her seat, looking at the door without saying a word.

Seeing her absent-minded and looking out, Aunt Lin continued to pour cold water: "Don't look at it, Brother Hai is the head of the family, he comes back from outside, if he doesn't want to be named a favorite concubine and kill his wife, the first thing he goes to is the main house."

What's more, before he went out this time, his sister-in-law was so sick that he died, and because of business, although he had to leave home for business, there was nothing he didn't worry about, and now that he is back, how can he get the main house to see the child.

Therefore, he will not come to the East Courtyard today. ”

Yang Wan's face was gloomy, and she couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect the master to come over." ”

Aunt Lin glanced at her, didn't expose her lies, and said, "Don't think about those who have and don't." It's been a few years since you gave birth to Brother Sumire, and your body is almost up, so it's only right to add a younger brother to her now. I told Brother Hai that if you get pregnant again and give birth to a boy, the child will be passed on to your brother. ”

"What?" Yang Wan was shocked, "When did this happen, why didn't I know?" How could the clan agree? ”

Because of the clan's covetousness of their own property, when Yang Wan and her mother lived in the clan, the clan kept coming to talk to her mother about succession; Even if they now have Lin Ruhai as their backer, the Yang family still has no intention of giving up, and keeps writing to Aunt Lin to discuss the succession. Yang Wan didn't think that the Yang clan would promise her mother to let her pass her child to her brother.

Aunt Lin said disapprerovingly: "It was Brother Hai who came to the door and said that I wanted to accept you as the second room, and I put forward the conditions." Otherwise, I will let you be a good lady and leave the wife of the main house to be a concubine? Even if this person is my nephew, my daughter is not so bad.

As for the clan, you don't have to worry, Brother Hai will take care of it. Although the clan has always maintained the dignity of the gentry, but now there is no one in the clan who is an official, and the next generation of imperial examinations has not succeeded. Even if the clan is unwilling, what confidence do they have to confront Hai Ge'er? ”

sneered, "Now I also understand that in this world, sometimes, when you can't be reasonable, it depends on who is more powerful."

At the beginning, we were in the clan and were overwhelmed by the clan, but since we had Hai Ge'er as a backer, when we came to join the family property that Hai Ge left in the clan when he was a child, the clan not only did not allow us to sell it in the name of the ancestral property earlier, but also did not allow us to take it away, and after that, it was not obediently sent to us.

At that time, who among the people from the clan stood up and snorted, saying something like ancestral property or not? An honest quail with a shrunken head.

Although the clan has been writing to me to discuss the matter of succession in the past few years, how can that tone still be tough when the clan forced me to pass the succession? They know the current affairs best, and they know that they can't afford to offend Hai Ge'er, so it doesn't matter whether they want to or not. It's you, it's imperative, it's important to give birth to a boy as soon as possible, otherwise, if there is no man, anything about adoptive is empty talk. ”

Yang Wan seemed to understand something, and suddenly realized, and said with accusation in her tone: "What did you say that I recognized Brother Sumire as a boy for the sake of my life in the backyard, in fact, mother, when you agreed with the master on the conditions of the adoption, you had already done it, no matter whether Brother Sumire was a boy or not, you would recognize her as a boy, right?" "Because if Brother Sumire is a girl, the next boy, the master will definitely not agree to the succession.

Aunt Lin glanced at her, "What nonsense, I don't have the three eyes of Lord Ma, how do I know what happened after this." When I discussed this with Brother Hai, we had no intention of keeping Brother Sumire at that time. You're going to give birth to her, completely by accident. ”

yes. Yang Wan reacted, hurriedly admitted her mistake to her mother, and asked curiously: "Mom, didn't you originally plan to have the children in the stepfamily, but in terms of the candidate, you couldn't reach an agreement with the clan, why did you suddenly change your mind and want to pass my child?" ”

Aunt Lin sighed: "Silly child, according to my heart, of course I hope that the next child will shed the blood of me and your father, how can I be willing to give the family wealth that I and your father and brother have worked hard to save all their lives to others?" Even if they are all surnamed Yang, they are not their own blood after all. ”

With desolate eyes, he said: "At the beginning, I would have agreed, in addition to the pressure in the clan and the situation in the world, but also because those who are willing to be sons-in-law are not good, so it is impossible to recruit you." But if you marry outside and have no reason, how can your in-laws agree to bring back their own heirs? ”

In ancient times, ancestors were very important. If it weren't for Lin Ruhai's loss, and Aunt Lin was from the Lin family, he wouldn't let his son enter someone else's ancestral hall no matter what, and recognized the ancestors of other people's families as his ancestors.

"Do you know why the clan was so anxious to let me succeed in the first place?"

Aunt Lin asked herself and replied: "At the beginning, the reason why the clan kept forcing me to hurry up was that in addition to coveting our family's rich family wealth, I was also afraid that I would give you the family property as a dowry. ”

"Phew!" Aunt Lin snorted, "Our family's property, except for the ancestral inheritance, is earned by me, your father, and your brother, as long as I don't touch the ancestral property, what can I give to my daughter?" Even if I give you the family property as a dowry, what will matter, are you not my daughter? What's wrong with a mother preparing a dowry for her daughter? ”

His eyebrows stood and he said angrily: "Originally, I thought that after you got married, if there was anything, you would need to come forward in the clan, and it would not be good to make too much trouble with them, so I agreed to succeed." It's a pity that the clan bullies people, obviously I have agreed to the succession, but they are openly in the name of succession, but secretly they are plotting to rob our family's property. ”

Although the clan promised to give Aunt Lin an adopt, the adoption in the clan was not the same as the one she wanted.

It was her son who wanted to pass her on in the clan, and she wanted to pass on her step-grandson, because she didn't want her son to be worshiped below, and this reason was very legitimate, but the clan just didn't agree.

Because, if you give her a grandchild, then the child must not be very old.

Although Aunt Lin did not say it explicitly, in fact, she had already shown through this request that she wanted to succeed a child who was ignorant and not sensible. In this way, from a young age, you can raise your children well, and you don't have to worry about your biological parents.

And the people in the clan chose for her are already fourteen or fifteen, and they are already men who are about to marry a wife and start a family. How is it possible for such a child to come over and expect the other party to be intimate to her and not have too much contact with her biological parents?

After several discussions, in the end, the weak Aunt Lin took a step back and asked that the child who passed on to her be her son, which was okay, but after the child married a wife and had children in the future, she must not only give her dead son a child, but also require that the child who passed on must be designated by her.

She thought that not all the families in the clan were rich, and it was not impossible for her to pick up the good children from ordinary or poor families, but with ambitions, to pass under her knees.

But it's a pity that the clan agreed to her first request, but not her second request, telling her that the successor can only be selected from the list given by the clan.

Aunt Lin took the list and looked at it, she was so angry that the children in it were either powerful in the clan and she couldn't afford to offend the children of the family; Either it is the child who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, has a bad character, and will not become a talent in the future.

Seeing this list, Aunt Lin still didn't understand anything, the clan wanted to annex her family's wealth in the name of "succession", and the so-called succession was a trap they had already discussed.

Aunt Lin was so angry that she didn't save face for the clansmen, and directly broke this point, and several of the clansmen were annoyed and angry, and said something more shameless like "Anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot, and it is all surnamed Yang, why should she care so much".

Annoyed, Aunt Lin immediately drove people out, and then stalemate with the clan, and never let go, but she clearly knew that if Yang Wan didn't have an accident, for her daughter to marry, the clan could be her backer, she would eventually agree, and the clan saw this, so she had no fear.

It's just that Yang Wan's matter made Aunt Lin see clearly that the clan couldn't count on it, so she simply broke the kettle and went back to her parents' house with her daughter with all the money, and as a result, she found a way for the two of them, not to mention, and even the succession problem that had been a headache before was solved.

At this time, Lin Jin didn't know that in the future, she would have to carry not only the Lin family, but also the burden of the Yang family.
