Chapter 55 Adopt an adopted son
Ding Yezi didn't expect Ding's mother to move so quickly, and she had already helped her think of a suitable candidate, but Ding Shiheng was the youngest son of Ding Mancai and Wan Ruyi, and he was very pampered since he was a child, and the two of them were willing to let Ding Shiheng go out with her?
With suspicion, Ding Yezi asked her mother first, "Mother, I'm afraid my uncle and aunt won't agree, right?" ”
Mother Ding shook her head with a smile and said: "This doesn't worry about you, I have already informed your aunt, and asked her if she agreed to let Shiheng go out with you, your aunt heard that you were the only one to carry the burden out, and without saying a word, she immediately agreed." ”
The ancestral residence of the Ding family is in this town, of course, it is impossible to have no other relatives, Ding Mancai is Ding Page's brother-in-law. Back then, Ding's father inherited the ancestral tofu making skills, but Ding Mancai didn't think so, feeling that it was too slow to sell tofu to make money, and the oil and water were not big, but it was not as good as selling pork.
Therefore, Ding Mancai really went to sell pork in the end.
Ding Mancai is also a businessman, and now the pork business is doing very well, and his family background is quite solid. With his current net worth, he can accommodate a two-room concubine, but so far he only has an original wife.
When I first heard about this incident, Ding Yezi also pondered that Ding Mancai's character was good, and later I realized that it was Ding Mancai's wife Wan Ruyi, who was really tough, and Ding Mancai was not in charge of the family at all, and it was all Wan Ruyi who covered the sky with one hand.
Of course, Wan Ruyi is not the kind of person who is quite unreasonable, as long as Ding Mancai does not do those things that make her unhappy, she will definitely give Ding Mancai face in front of outsiders.
For Wan Ruyi to be so generous and lend his young son, Ding Yezi was a little worried, "Mother, I still think it's inappropriate, Shiheng has a pampered temper, if he follows, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do business, and I'll offend people by patronizing." ”
Ding Mu said angrily: "How can it? Your aunt will teach him a lesson, and she won't let him come nonsense, don't worry. ”
The so-called far water can't save the near fire, when Ding Shiheng loses his temper halfway, what can she do? Could it be that he immediately put down the burden and carried Ding Shiheng to Ding Mancai's house? I'm afraid that when the time comes, it's good to say that Wan Ruyi doesn't blame her for not being grateful.
"Mother, you don't know Shiheng's temperament, when the time comes, he will be coquettish in front of his aunt, how can I bear him?" Ding Yezi really didn't want Ding Shiheng's monkey to follow her.
Ding's mother sighed: "The page, in the final analysis, it is still useless. If it was a boy who was given to you at the beginning, I'm afraid you don't need to care about it today. Mother knows what you mean, Shiheng is young, and it is inevitable that there will be some children's tempers. But you, a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, just go to the street to sell tofu flowers, and your mother is really not at ease. Although Shiheng is small, he is also a male baby, and with him with him, his mother should also rest assured. ”
Ding Yezi's mind turned, and she suddenly remembered a suitable person, but before this, she still had to ask her mother about some things.
"Mother, my aunt agreed to let Shiheng go out with me, so she didn't put forward any conditions?"
When Ding's mother heard this, she immediately glared at her, "What kind of person is your aunt, don't you know?" Although she said that her temper was a little worse, but she was the most righteous, she agreed to let Shiheng go out with you, but she couldn't rest assured of you, and you still said what did she ask for? ”
Ding Yezi was suddenly stunned, this is indeed her too villainous heart. It's just that she can't be blamed, normal people would think so, otherwise who would be willing to let their own young son be a free child laborer? I'm afraid I can't even be reluctant to call at home.
"Mother, you said that if I had a younger brother, wouldn't I need Shiheng to follow me?" Ding Page first tested the meaning of Ding's mother.
Ding's mother frowned, and looked at Ding Page dissatisfied, "Page, are you blaming your mother?" ”
Ding Yezi hurriedly waved his hand, with three black lines on his forehead, really, being a man is troublesome, and it is easy to make others think more about anything. She hurriedly explained: "Mother, I didn't mean that, I just thought, my father has already gone, and the three of us are left at home." But Rou'er and I are from a girl's family, and sooner or later we will get married, and after our sisters get married, how will you live alone? ”
Ding Yezi's words really poked at the sore spot of Ding's mother, but Ding's father has passed away, even if she can still give birth now, where can she find a Ding father again? As for remarrying, Ding's mother has never considered it.
Ding's mother's face was gloomy, she lowered her head and sighed, and shook her head helplessly: "After you two sisters get married, I will be the only lonely wife in this family." If the two of you are married, I just hope that you can come back to see me from time to time, if you are married, I ......" Ding's mother reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said bitterly: "What can I do?" I can't let you stay with me for the rest of your life. ”
Thinking about it, Ding Yezi could understand Ding's mother's grief at the moment, and hurriedly reached out to hold Ding's mother's hand, comforting her emotions, "Mother, I understand, I just want to ask, since there is no male in our family, have you ever thought about adopting one?" ”
Ding's mother wiped away her tears for a moment, and hesitated: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but the boy is a treasure, who is willing to give it away?" ”
As soon as Ding Yezi heard Ding's mother's words, he knew that she actually meant that, but she had never found a suitable candidate. She has a suitable candidate now, presumably the child should not object, now just wait for her mother to give a word.
"Mother, I have a favorite candidate, but I don't know what you think." Ding Page said to Ding's mother with a smile.
Ding's mother frowned, as if she didn't believe Ding Yezi's words, "Where do you go to find the right one?" Reliable or not? ”
Ding Yezi smiled: "It's an orphan I know, and I'm only eight or nine years old this year, so if my mother agrees to accept him as an adopted son, he should be very willing." ”
For his own vision, Ding Yezi has always believed in it. Although Qian Youqian is now a thief, it can be seen from his words and deeds that the child is really a person who values love and righteousness, and he is also dedicated to goodness. If he hadn't been forced to do it, he wouldn't have been willing to be a thief.
Ding's mother hesitated: "Are you eight or nine years old?" Isn't that hard to educate? Are there any relatives at home? If there is, I'm afraid that even if I recognize my adopted son, I can't change my surname. ”
For the ancients, the surname was the foundation of the lineage. Ding's father died early, and it is obviously impossible to pass it on in the bloodline, so if you can adopt a boy and let him take the surname of the Ding family, in a sense, the Ding family can be regarded as someone passing on the ancestry.
Ding Yezi doesn't know much about the situation of money and money, and the questions asked by Ding's mother are all to the point, and she needs to ask Qian Qian to be rich.
At that moment, Ding Yezi said truthfully: "Mother, I only know that he is an orphan, wandering and begging for a living, presumably without other relatives, otherwise he would not have fallen into such a miserable situation." If my mother has this meaning, I can ask him and ask him to come to our house for a meal and talk about other things. ”
Ding's mother was a little hesitant, she selfishly felt that people were most susceptible to the influence of others when they were young, since he was eight or nine years old, and he was still begging for a living, he would be a little eccentric. If he was greedy for a temporary advantage, entered the Ding family as an adopted son, and finally waited for her to be old, but did not support her, then what should she do?
She still thinks that if she can have a child who is not sensible, it is the most suitable to bring it back as an adopted son.
Thinking in her heart, Ding's mother said: "Eight or nine years old, I'm only afraid that I'm older, why don't I see if there are any babies who are still ignorant?" ”
Ding Yezi was directly speechless, "Mother, if you can have that ignorant baby, how can you wait for you to adopt?" I'm afraid a lot of people are waiting for it. It's because the child is eight or nine years old, so there are not many people who are willing to adopt him, and they are lazy in education. I had contact with the boy and thought he had a very good temperament, and he was not the kind of ungrateful master. ”
Ding's mother pouted and said, "You are still a child, how can you see the temperament of others?" That's it, it's good that you don't get deceived by others. ”
Although Ding's mother felt inappropriate no matter how she thought about it, the more Ding Yezi thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was very good, and it could be regarded as preparing for Ding's mother's pension in advance. Besides, with her experience in two lives, her vision is absolutely not wrong.
Now that she has made up her mind, Ding Page has made every effort to persuade her mother.
"Mother, I know what you mean, but think about it, what is the current situation in our family? Rou'er and I are both young, and we are both people who are about to get married. Even if we are lucky enough to meet that kind of child who is not sensible, what are you going to do to support him? ”
Ding's mother said confidently: "Isn't our family selling tofu now, can we still support a child?" ”
"Mother, don't forget, I am the only one in our family who can make tofu! After I get married, I'm afraid that this child won't even remember my name, how can I raise him? ”
Ding's mother was suffocated, and had to admit that what Ding Page said was reasonable, she didn't have the extra strength and time to slowly raise a child now.
Ding Yezi saw that Ding's mother looked moved, and hurriedly added a little more strength, "Mother, think about it, eight or nine-year-old children are the time to do things, and I am not married yet, so I can pass on our family's ancestral tofu making skills to him." After he learns, the family's business will be regarded as a successor, and you will be regarded as a pensioner, so Rou'er and I don't have to worry about how you will live in the future. ”
Ding's mother has not worried about her future, but she has never found a suitable way. Now Ding Page is grasping her soft underbelly, and gradually, Ding Mu's mind is also tilted to Ding Page.
