Chapter 31 The Female Household Supports the Family

Lan Yi looked at the east house and saw Yu'er and the baby meeting head to head and having fun, so she whispered: "I want to tell you and the second uncle about this child." Yu'er's big name is Li Cunyu, he is a native of Lijia Village in the south of Huang County, and I only accepted it yesterday. Yesterday I passed by an inn......."

Lan Yi told Yu'er about it one by one, and then took out Yu'er's household registration, family severance documents, and the explanation that Yu'er was being transferred to Lan Yi's name in Lijia Village and handed it to Zhao Lizheng.

"My niece and daughter-in-law also know that making a living is difficult, but this child follows me, and he can always be beaten and scolded less, and he will have a hot meal to eat." Lan Yi said sincerely, if Yu'er wanted to live here, it would be very important for Li Zheng and Second Uncle Wang's family to accept him.

"So that's what happened. Lin Shan's daughter-in-law, you also take out your and your children's household registration, and I will go to the county tomorrow to settle down in our village for the three of you. Zhao Lizheng pondered for a moment, and then said, "Lin Shan has gone, the child is still young, this family has to rely on your support and become the female household, Lin Shan's house and land can be transferred to your household, and the female household can be exempted from errand service and reduce taxes." There are three more items that need to be explained. This is this, Lin Shan is a talent, if the field property is transferred to the name of the young son, the field tax can be exempted; Second, if you take care of the orphans and the young, although the yamen has the silver to support you, it is only one or two hundred wen a year, and I will go and tell you about your situation again, and strive for more. What are these three ......?"

Zhao Li was silent for a moment, and Second Uncle Wang seemed to have thought of something, frowning. Lan Yi said bluntly: "Uncle Yang, it's okay for you to speak directly. ”

"Third, there are no adult men in the female household, and they must rely on women to make a living, and it is rare to show their heads, but they must remember the way of being a woman as a mother, otherwise the national law and family rules will not be tolerated. If you want to remarry someone else, you must also marry in the media, and you must not give it to each other privately. Zhao Lizheng said with a straight face, the words were sonorous, warning Lan Yi to abide by the woman's way.

Since ancient times, there have been many rights and wrongs in front of the door, although Lan Yi looks dignified and reasonable, but she is young and beautiful after all, and it is inevitable that some people will have other thoughts.

Lan Yi naturally understood the meaning of Zhao Lizheng's words, she stood up, saluted respectfully, and replied firmly: "Second uncle, for Uncle Yang, my nephew and daughter-in-law have written it down." The niece and daughter-in-law agreed to become a female household and put the land property in the baby's name. The niece and daughter-in-law have been literate since childhood, know the etiquette and shame, and must be upright, filial piety and respect for the elder, and take care of the young son, so as not to disgrace the family. ”

"Good, good!" Zhao Lizheng could naturally see that Lan Yi was telling the truth.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, I asked Lin Yuan to go to Huajia Village and invite Lin Shan's uncles to come over to discuss Lin Shan's future, and I guess it will be tomorrow. Yu'er, you take care of this child. After listening to Yu'er's life experience, he also recognized Lan Yi's adoption of Yu'er. After all, Second Uncle Wang is not Lan Yi's serious father-in-law, some words are not easy to say directly, and Zhao Lizheng's warning and advice can be regarded as representing his meaning.

Wang Linshan's mother-in-law, Hua, has three brothers, a sister and a brother, and they are all relatives. After Wang Linyuan sent the letter, the family heard the bad news and was sad, and Hua's mother heard that her grandson had also gone, so she cried to death and couldn't get up from the kang.

Wang Linshan's uncle Hua Zhanyuan took his son Hua Changye to Lan Yi's house in Beigou Village on the second day to discuss Wang Linshan's future with Uncle Wang. Lan Yi invited a few people into the house, and when she saw the ceremony, she burst into tears.

"My cousin has been gone for three years, and the year before last I sent a letter back saying that he was in Dongpingmei County, and he didn't say anything about getting married." Hua Chang also muttered to himself, he followed the third uncle Hua Zhanzhou to run business for a few years, and he has seen more of the market, and he will have more eyes in case of trouble. This cousin-in-law only told about the things along the way, and said that her cousin Lin Shan just died of illness, which always made people feel a little weird.

"I had an accident with my child on the way out of Mei County, and I fell from the mountain and injured my brain, and I still can't remember a lot of things, and I don't know why Lin Shan didn't send a letter to his family." Lan Yi replied blankly, pushing two-six-five, just saying that she didn't remember.

Everyone was silent for a while, and Second Uncle Wang and others also thought that Lin Shan did not send a letter to his family to say that he was married. But Second Uncle Wang and others have also considered it, and they can't do it at this time. First, Lan Yi took Wang Linshan's household registration, and the household registration recorded the marriage of the two, and Zhao Lizheng had already checked it; the second is the handwriting of the adults of Meixian County; Third, it is a bit subjective, Second Uncle Wang and Li feel that the baby looks a little similar to Wang Linshan when he was a child.

Besides, Lan Yi seems to be the child of a well-behaved family, where is there anything worth coveting in the Wang family, which one will take the initiative to come and be a little **, this ** life is not good.

"You talk a lot!" Hua Zhanyuan reproached his son, and then said, "Lin Shan's family, can the injury on your head be prevented?" ”

"Thank you Uncle for hanging on to it, it doesn't hurt anymore, the doctor said that the blood in the brain will take a while to disperse." Lan Yi responded reasonably.

"Brother and sister, eldest brother didn't know that you had encountered such things on the road, so I lost my words." Lan Yi was dazed with loss, there was no dodging or wandering in her eyes, and Hua Changye also dissipated some doubts. He saw that Lan Yi was young and quite beautiful, especially those big eyes, calm and clear, which made people can't help but imagine what kind of style these eyes would be like if they were dyed with affection.

"Uncle He, I invited you here today to discuss Lin Shan's afterlife, please help me get an idea." Second Uncle Wang mentioned that he was a little unhappy to see Hua Changye staring at Lan Yi in a daze.

"Second uncle, we don't have any requirements for this, let's follow the rules of the Wang family."

Second Uncle Wang nodded: "Then put the spirit for three days, and then enter the soil after three days, and let Lin Yuan hold Yixuan to beat the banner and break the tile on the day of the funeral, what do you think?" ”

"Done. This coffin? ”

"It's too late to make a ready-made, so I can only go to the coffin shop and buy a ready-made."

When Lan Yi heard this, he took out ten taels of silver from his purse, and said, "Second uncle, uncle, the dead husband is buried, I don't know the rules on our side, it's all up to the second elder." In terms of spending, I don't know if ten taels of silver is enough? ”

Second Uncle Wang nodded: "Eldest daughter-in-law, five taels is enough, and you can take back the rest." ”

It stands to reason that Wang Linshan's posthumous affairs, buying coffins, preparing shrouds, filial piety clothes for relatives, and hospitality require his surviving people to pay for it, and Second Uncle Wang knows that Lan Yi's life is not easy, so he can save it.

Lan Yi shook her head with a resolute expression: "Second uncle, I know that you are sympathetic to our mother and son's hardship, but this should still be spent." Please ask all the elders and relatives to help Lin Shan bury him with dignity, if ten taels of silver is not enough, I will make up this money even if I sell my wealth. ”

The second uncle and Lin Xi, Lin Yuan and the father and son of the Hua family listened to this, their eyes were red, and they nodded again and again that they would handle the funeral, and in the afternoon of the same day, they took back the white cloth and the earthy yellow linen cloth, and a mourning platform was also placed in the hall, white candles were lit, and paper money and fruits were prepared. Li, Chen and Liu helped Lan Yi make filial piety clothes and put them on Lan Yi and the two children, Lan Yi and the baby were dressed in white and heavy filial piety, Yu'er was an adopted son, with a white crown on his head, wearing yellow linen clothes, and a white belt around his waist.

Except for the second uncle Wang and the Li family, who were dressed in black, the others were all sackcloth and white cloth, Wang Linxi and Wang Linyuan were responsible for receiving the relatives who came to mourn, and the Chen family and Liu were responsible for preparing food and receiving female guests. The Wang family was originally an outsider, and there were not many people in the village, Wang Linshan was of low seniority, and he was only twenty-three years old this year, so there were not many people who came to mourn. The baby is still young, sitting next to Lan Yi curiously watching people come and go, just gnawing on the things in his mouth, Yu'er has just experienced the pain of losing his father, every time someone comes to mourn and cry, he will cry uncontrollably, but it looks more like his own son than the baby. Lan Yi was kneeling there and howling most of the time, her eyes had already been swollen by her, and she looked haggard.

Whenever someone came to mourn, Lan Yi only took the two children to kneel on the side of the mourning platform and wept and returned the salute according to the rules, and did not look up, where to remember who had come. Among the condolences crowd, the only one who came to Lan Yi was the sixth son. Although Lan Yi did not report Xia Wan's funeral, Xia Wan knew that she didn't want to trouble herself, but she still ordered the six sons to come to mourn, and the six sons helped to work in the yard for a day before going. According to Xia Wan's instructions, the sixth son came here to fight the name of the eldest lady of Huangxian Xiafu and Lan Yiniang's family, and saved face for Lan Yi.

After Wang Linshan entered the ground, the filial piety of Lan Yi's mother and son was also taken off. Lan Yi changed into black filial piety clothes by herself, Yu'er and the baby were still young, and they still wore weekday clothes, only putting away the red, red, green and green, fortunately, the clothes of the whole family were mainly plain and simple, and there was no hindrance.

Lan Yi dragged her tired body to tidy up the gifts received at home, and put away the gift list properly, so that there would be a reference for the future exchanges in the village. According to the rules of the village for red and white ceremonies, Lan Yi packed up the various dried fruit pastries she received and sent them to Uncle Wang's house, asking Uncle Wang to distribute them to the people who came to help in the past few days.

What the sixth son sent over was not one or two pieces, but a cart of things. In addition to dried fruit gifts, there are two pieces of fabric, one white, one sky blue, one bag of white noodles, one bag of rice, one red bean, and more than a dozen books. Lan Yi and Xia Wan have only known each other for a month, although the two have similar interests and hate to see each other late, but Xia Wan treats her too well, which makes Lan Yi feel a sense of worthlessness, and secretly decides that she will definitely help Xia Wan when she is in trouble in the future.

Lan Yi opened the bookbox first, there were several children's enlightenment books in it, as well as the Book of Poetry, the Tao Te Ching and the Yuefu Poetry Collection, Lan Yi couldn't put it down, Yu'er was lying on the table tiptoe and looking at the books on the table, her eyes were full of love. Although Wang Linshan is a talent, Lan Yi did not find books in his things, only a stack of articles he wrote and large characters that he practiced, thinking that he took the books with him when he was rushing to take the exam. Lan Yi remembered that in ancient times, people had bookcases that they carried with them, which could hold a lot of things.
