After a while, Li Xumu came back after inquiring clearly.

Li Xiaomu was a little more polite than Hu Qi after all, and only opened the door and went in after getting the exact permission.

"Old Wu, Miss Wu. After saying hello, Li Shumu found a place to sit down.

Seeing this, Wu Laohan couldn't help but glance at Hu Qi, but Hu Qi looked at Fang Liang with two eyes and looked like I didn't know.

Seeing this, Wu Laohan no longer cared about Hu Qi.

After Li Yumu sat down, he didn't wait for anyone to ask, and began to talk by himself.

"The little girl of the Cheng family is a bit of a problem, compared to others. Some of them have had the experience of being abandoned, especially the little girl named Cheng Xiaoxiao you mentioned, her family was originally the son of the Cheng family, but because she was born, she did not give birth to a boy, which led to the child of the second family becoming the son of the Cheng family.

So the Cheng family and her parents were very bad to her, especially disgusted her, when she was two months old, she was thrown by her parents once, but fortunately she was picked up by the old lady, I heard that if the old lady went one step late, the child would die outside.

Although the old lady has emphasized this matter many times, under the concept of clan, this kind of thing still happens in the market in Cheng. Not only the Cheng family, but now many places are like this. Even if it is not thrown, the patriarchal image of the Cheng family is particularly serious.

For example, now only men can keep vigil in the ancestral hall, and girls are not allowed to go, and girls have a separate table in the kitchen when they eat. There are a lot of things like this, of course, there are some because their parents like it, but on the whole, the men of the Cheng family are more than one grade better than the girls.

Especially those children who are disliked must be beaten.

This is still known from the people around them, and they only come back during the New Year's holidays, and other times are estimated to be even worse!

And that Cheng slight, after being picked up by the old lady back about a few years later, he was only seven or eight years old, once walked for several days from her parents to here, and then he has been living with the old lady, I heard that it was also sent over by the nearby villagers at that time, it looked like nothing big at the time, but it is said that when the old lady looked for someone to bathe her, she was covered in injuries. ”

Hu Qi and Wu Laohan frowned as they listened.

Wu Ling's eyes were even red.

After changing it, Li Yumu continued, "Moreover, not only the old people live in the Cheng family's compound, but there are also some Cheng family girls who were left here by their parents.

Of course, there are some old people here who don't like girls either, such as the great-uncle and great-uncle. I heard that the old lady and the great uncle are brothers and the great-uncle is a cousin, and I heard that the old lady had a quarrel with the great-uncle because of whether to send these girls away. ”

Hu Qi was puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "The Cheng family shouldn't be short of this money, right?"

Li Yumu said, "It's not a matter of not lacking, but because they feel that the money should be used on men and wasted on women." ”

Hu Qi said: "How can it be until now, there is still this kind of family." ”

Wu Laohan sighed and said

"If it is placed in an ordinary family, it may be, but it is a reality in a big family, the older the big family, the more important these are, they think that the male is the foundation, is the need for the continuation of the family, and the female baby will eventually marry out.

It's just that the Cheng family is too extreme. ”

Li Yumu Road

"Because of interests, the Cheng family has been inherited for a lot of time, and the Cheng family has a lot of family businesses, as long as it is a man, he will have a certain amount of equity, and the girl has nothing.

Nearby villagers said that the situation was a little more serious a long time ago, and then it was slightly better because of the old lady. But now the old lady is gone. ”

Hu Qi said: "That shouldn't be! It stands to reason that the old lady should be fine!"

Wu Laohan said, "It's just speculation now, and besides, a few children don't have this ability." ”

Hu Qi said, "Could it be because I was thrown outside and died in my early years, and then came back with her when Cheng was slightly thrown away." ”

Wu Laohan said, "There is a possibility, but it stands to reason that it will not be impossible to check!"

Hu Qi said: "Tomorrow is the old lady's first seven! After twelve o'clock in the evening, we will summon spirits to see, and now we can only make more preparations." ”

After talking in detail for a while, Hu Qi and Li Xiaomu went back to prepare, while Wu Laohan turned around to find Yun Daoist and Extremely Neng Monk, and many people had more strength.

Back in the room, Hu Qi looked at Li Qimu and wanted to say something, but Hu Qi waved his hand to stop Li Xumu, Hu Qi knew what he wanted to say, and there were some things that Hu Qi didn't know how to do, if it was really because of these things, the Cheng family would also be to blame.

But Hu Qi's own job and vocation are to do this, and once he really lets it go, who knows what will happen in the future.

Sometimes there is no way, and the change of concept still depends on the emancipation of the mind.

Hu Qi sat on the bed and did the final pranayama, Li Xiaomu went to the car to get something, Hu Qi also had to make some preparations, the existence of the white fox could not be exposed, it was better not to be exposed.

After some preparations, it was finally time for dinner, and after dinner, more than 100 people gathered at the ancestral hall.

Except for the extra ice coffin in the ancestral hall, the others are similar to before.

At this time, the ancestral hall was crowded, full of a large group of people, Hu Qi didn't care too much about it before, but now Hu Qi paid more attention, the underage men of the Cheng family were surrounded in the innermost, but fortunately, the adult men of the Cheng family were on the outside, which made Hu Qi feel that the Cheng family was still saved.

Now the order of the Cheng family is like this, the innermost is the group of underage men, then the old people, these are women and children and girls, and then adult men.

Looking at Cheng Qin, who was talking to Wu Laohan, and Yun Dao Chang and Extremely Neng Monk, who were busy arranging the rituals, Wu Ling and Li Haomu were already extremely Wu Ling and Li Yumu.

And Hu Qi himself was planning to talk to those little girls.

Hu Qi walked over with the white fox in his arms, and if he wanted to talk about it, the white fox naturally had to open the way, and he could know from the fact that he had borrowed the white fox before.

When Hu Qi hugged the white fox over, before Hu Qi approached, those little girls came over with bright eyes.

"Uncle, can you give us a hug?"

Hu Qiwan smiled: "What is it called, uncle! ”

"Brother, can you give us a hug?"

Of course you can, and then Hu Qi handed over the white fox.

Xiaobai, even the name has been chosen.

Then Hu Qi watched the group of children gather around the white fox, stroking it with his hands from time to time.

However, Hu Qi did see that there were still a few little girls who were still standing in place, and their eyes were a little cold.

Hu Qi smiled and consciously brought the group of little girls and the white fox over to the little girls.

Hu Qi asked with a smile that he thought was quite kind

"Aren't you going to see Xiaobai?"

However, they ignored the nonsense.

At this time, Steward Cheng came over and said to Hu Qi

"Chief Hu Qidao, forgive me, these children were abandoned by their parents, and they were not good to them before they were abandoned, so these children are a little withdrawn, and they can only talk to the old lady before Since the old lady went, they rarely spoke. ”

Hu Qi nodded with understanding and said, "It's okay, it's just that I saw that these children didn't go to see the white fox, so I was a little curious to ask." ”

Steward Cheng said, "Oh, this white fox is white, this is a pet." ”

Hu Qi smiled and said, "Yes, it is to be a pet." ”

Steward Cheng said, "Chief Hu Qi, you have a good rest, I have to rely on you tonight, I have to work." ”

Hu Qi said, "You're welcome, then I'll go and get busy first." ”

After saying that, Hu Qi left, and the white fox Hu Qi stayed here. I can supervise these children at all times.
