Chapter 61： grandchildren

She planned to continue to open up the wasteland this morning. She wanted to plant corn on the open wasteland first. The guys brought them all, but on Tuesday, Zhou Tian, ​​the eldest son of the sister-in-law's family, came over and called them, saying that the wood carpenter and his wife had come to the door and asked them to hurry up.

When they arrived, a large group of people had already surrounded the gate of the old house, and they consciously gave way when they saw Zhou Cheng and the others coming.

Pei Xiu saw that the whole family was together and they were making a fuss in the yard, so she quietly asked Zhou Tian: ''Why don't you close the door? ''

''Third aunt, it's not that we didn't close the door, it was the villagers who didn't let the door close, saying they wanted to help witness it. Before the door was closed, everyone climbed the wall to see it. It's the same as if it wasn't closed. Just let me stop it. ''

Pei Xiu stopped talking and stood with Zhou Cheng to see what they were going to do.

At this time, it is not the time to pay attention to the number of people and the strength. Seeing that the Zhou family is full of children and grandchildren, compared with the forest carpenter and his wife, there are only two people. Everyone in the world sympathizes with the weak. Originally, the people in the village thought that the Lin family was not authentic. It was obviously a marriage, not a babysitter. As a result, 20 years later, they had to have a grandson. It was all rude of the Lin family to say it out.

But looking at it now, the Zhou family has dozens of people, and there are nine grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The carpenter and his wife are begging for the Zhou family to share a grandson, and they haven't asked for a man or a woman, just the one in their stomach. The balance was tilted towards the forest carpenter, and everyone was talking about it. They felt that there were many children and grandchildren in the Zhou family, and it was nothing to share one.

There were also different voices. Second Aunt Lin said in the crowd: ''Why do people want to give away a grandson for free, and that's a foreigner, my grandson of the Lin family chose him to adopt him and he didn't want it, he had to rush to ask for help. Family. ''

The neighbor retorted: ''The grandson is at least his own, and he still has half of his own blood. Your grandson has nothing to do with others. ''

Second Aunt Lin was not convinced,'' Then my grandson's surname is Lin, and his grandson is not Lin. ''

''If I don't adopt it, my surname will be Lin...''

Second Aunt Lin was speechless when he was blocked, watching the developments in the courtyard angrily, pinched Second Uncle Lin next to him. This is useless, and she said don't interfere, she is not for this family, or the property of the Lin family will be cheaper for outsiders.

With tears in his eyes, the wood carpenter said to the old man Zhou: "Brother Zhou, I beg you, your children and grandchildren can't understand my pain, I have been unable to sleep every night for so many years, I'm sorry for the ancestors of my Lin family. Zong, there is no one who can throw a pot when I am old, and I can't close my eyes when I die. ''

On Tuesday, brother listened to his father-in-law's plea, and his heart was moved. His father-in-law had lived with all the rumors and rumors. He didn't want him to grow old without anyone who could throw a pot. He looked at the old man's tears and looked at his mother-in-law. She blamed herself for not being able to give birth to a boy, and watched her sister-in-law on Tuesday kneel and cry to them, saying that she was not good, not a man.

It was really sad to hear it, and those who heard it wept. When I was old, I still cried and begged others. The villagers looked at the family of three who were hugging their heads and crying in the courtyard. They were very sympathetic to the carpenter forest. Some of the women were in tears. They felt that the carpenter and his wife were too pitiful. The Zhou family was too cruel. Four were born, and Zhou Laosan gave birth to three and picked up one. Before Zhou Lao Er, there were only two. There is no need to talk about it. How to divide the two in total. It's different now, there's a third one in the stomach, which gives hope to the forest carpenter and his wife.

Uncle Dashan couldn't stand it anymore in the crowd, so he stood up and said:''Brother Zhou, I shouldn't have talked too much about your family. mouth. Just agree to give the one in the belly of the second child to the Lin family. You are indeed not short of grandchildren. The second child of your family has two sons, and I think the second child and the two are in agreement. ''

The old man Zhou sighed and hesitated, and the old lady Zhou said: "I have many grandchildren, should I share it out? Who of you has more money willing to give it to help? It doesn't hurt to stand up and talk, it's not to dig meat in your heart. , you are not in pain. ''

Uncle Dashan sighed. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to read, and what Mrs. Zhou said is reasonable. Who doesn't want their descendants to be prosperous. Should the grandson deserve more, he should give it away, which is the truth, but it is really pitiful for the wood carpenter and his wife.

''My dear family, it's the two of us who shouldn't be, thick-skinned, we shouldn't be persecuting you, but we're not at ease every night, we're getting old, and we don't have many days to live, but we've never had a grandson. In the days of coaxing grandsons, you should have pity on me. I am sorry to the ancestors and ancestors of the old Lin family, let us cut off our descendants. God, why is it so unfair to us, and we haven't done anything wicked. '' Mrs. Lin was already crying.

Pei Xiu felt unbearable when she saw it. Tears could not help falling down her own. ~ She felt the same way. She was like this back then. Old lady Lin gave birth to a daughter anyway.

Zhou Cheng burst into tears when he saw his daughter-in-law, frowned, and watched the farce in the yard. He asked Zhou Tian to call the clan elder. The village chief didn't need to call. out of this head. Zhou Cheng went to the crowd and asked the village chief to come forward, and he also came in.

Uncle Dashan shook his head towards the village chief, indicating that this matter is not easy to handle. But since his eldest brother is in his early stage, it's fine for him to watch from the side.

''Brother Zhou, Brother Lin, can you listen to me? I watched it for a long time at the door, and I understood it all. You are all in-laws, and there is no need to hurt the peace for the sake of the children. Be frequent. ''

''Hey, it's obviously a happy event. You see, this is a riot, and everyone is laughing at it. Let's talk about it. ’’ Old Man Zhou was helpless too, the whole village was full of uproar, the big guys didn’t go to work early in the morning, they were all around.

''The village chief, please tell me. ''

The village chief thought for a while and said: ''One of you wants a grandson, and one of you will be able to fall in the basin in the future. Brother Zhou, you have ten grandchildren still in your belly, but you are the only ones who live with you. The second and third children live with their parents. Do you think this works? The one in the womb of the second child, regardless of gender, has the surname Lin...''

When the carpenter Lin and his wife heard this, they were all delighted. Before the old man Zhou made a statement, the old lady Zhou was unhappy and shouted, \'\'The village chief can't do this...''

Zhou Cheng pulled the old lady and said, "Mother, don't interrupt, let the village chief finish talking. ''
