Chapter 48 Here Comes My Cousin

It is understandable for widows to remarry.

But the three children born to the Zhu family before were the descendants of the Zhao family. Not to mention that the man didn't want it at all, even Zhao Cheng and Zhao Yue were unwilling to go with them.

Now, the man asked Zhu to sell all the property. Isn't that making the two children wait to die?

Zhao Cheng got angry at that time, had an argument with the man, was pushed to the ground, hit his head, and passed out.

And the man saw that everything was exposed, so he simply took Mrs. Zhu away with the family's property and money and ran away.

Seeing that his elder brother hadn’t returned for a long time, Zhao Yu also returned home, only to find that his mother had disappeared, and his elder brother was lying on the ground with blood dripping from his head.

Fortunately, the village head's wife passed by the door of his house and heard the child's heart-piercing cries, so she went in and found out about it.

"Zhu's murderer, sooner or later she will regret it. That man is not a good man. He is addicted to gambling. He ran away with him. She will suffer in the future!"

This is what the wife of the village chief said when she was angry.

However, the most critical issue is not to scold Mrs. Zhu, but to solve the problem of how to arrange the two children.

Naturally, Zhao Dong, who is the child's second uncle, and old man Zhao, who is the father's grandfather, have become popular.

The village head actually prefers that old man Zhao can adopt two children. After all, he is his own grandson, and his son, the third, who opened a tavern in Jishang, also has that ability.

Zhao Dong's family has just been separated, and his legs and feet are inconvenient. The family situation has just improved, and he knows it.

However, when the village head asked someone to call Old Man Zhao to discuss the matter, the door of their house was closed tightly.

And the old man Zhao in the yard, with a look of embarrassment on his face, kept pacing in the yard: "At this time, if we don't stand up, are we going to let the villagers poke our spines! Why don't you just add a pair of chopsticks? ."

Mrs. Wang stood at the door with a domineering posture, resolutely unyielding, and scolded in a shrill voice: "You said it so lightly about adding a pair of chopsticks. Two mouths, how much food you have to eat in a year! Besides, at the end of the year, there will be more food!" I have to pay them mouth tax, and I want to spend my grandson’s money to study and become an official, there is no way, unless I die!"

Wang’s youngest son Zhao Qiu just wanted to say a few words of love, but Wang stared back: “Mother, big brother, he is right…”

"Big brother, big brother, the eldest son of the old family, Zhao Cheng, is ten years old this year, and he has reached the age of independence."

Wang strongly disagreed. If old man Zhao said anything else, she would move out his little grandson who was going to study Guangzong Yaozu to block him.

The villagers who came to call for someone saw that they couldn’t knock on the door, and there were still noises and curses inside, so they knew what they meant, so they sighed and returned angrily.

The village head had no choice but to come to Zhao Dong to see if he was willing to take in the two children.

After hearing this, Zhao Dong and Sun Mei thought it was a good thing. If their stepmother really took in these two children, the future for these two children might not be much better than it is now.

And both of them also had plans to take them in. After all, Zhao Dong was the child's biological uncle. When the eldest brother was still there, he loved his younger brother very much. If he was like Wang at this time, it would be too inhuman.

Secondly, the children were really pitiful, and they indeed felt sympathetic, so they talked to the village chief and took the two children home.

It's just that the news that Zhao Dong adopted the eldest brother's child spread in the village in a blink of an eye.

Regarding this matter, the villagers have different opinions. Some people think that Zhao Dongren is righteous and right.

also laughed at him for being stupid, for just earning some money, and then drifted away. Do you really think it is as simple as adding a pair of chopsticks? When it was time to hand over the Fu, he was in trouble.

Calculation tax, that is, poll tax, as the name suggests, is a tax paid to the country based on the head. The number of people in the family is different, and the poll tax paid is different.

Children like Zhao Yu and Zhao Cheng who are eight years old and under fifteen years old will start to pay taxes, which is called mouth money, and they have to pay 23 yuan a year.

And after being considered an adult at the age of fifteen, you have to pay taxes, and you have to pay 120 yuan a year!

This is also one of the important reasons why Wang did not agree to take in the three brothers and sisters.

However, Zhao Dong and Sun Mei didn't think that much, and Zhao Dong always believed that they would make money, so naturally they didn't care what the villagers said about them.

At this time, pulling the little girl aside to talk about this matter is also to ask the little girl for her opinion.

Their family has always been like this, Zhao Dong and Sun Mei will not treat Zhao Zhitong as a member of the family because of his young age, and ignore her opinions and aspirations.

Hearing Zhao Dong's question, Zhao Zhitong looked up at him, blinked and said in a childish voice: "Daddy, you mean, from now on, the big cousin and the little cousin will live with us?"

Zhao Dong nodded with a smile: "Yes, didn't Tongtong always want to have friends, living with his brothers and sisters, the family is so lively."

Zhao Zhitong didn't reject cousins ​​at all, and she was an only child in her previous life, and she always wanted to have friends to play with her, otherwise she would brag about how many cousins ​​she had.

So, after hearing Sun Mei's words, I was very happy: "Great, great, I have two more brothers."

Zhao Zhitong clapped his hands and cheered, and walked around happily, then ran to find his cousins ​​to play.

Zhao Cheng's head wound has been treated by Sun Mei, and a cloth was wrapped around him.

At that time, the two cousins ​​were standing in the yard a little cautiously, not as good as a few cousins ​​and cousins.

At this moment, seeing Zhao Zhitong came back, several "auspicious celebrations" began to pester her, asking her to teach them how to read.

Zhao Zhitong was so happy that he squatted on the open space in the yard with a twig.

Several little cousins ​​squatted around her in a circle, enclosing Zhao Zhitong in the middle.

Zhao Zhitong said in a small voice, like a little adult, imitating the tone of his husband: "Well, let's start with the name first, whose name shall we learn first?"

Sun Daqing immediately raised his hand: "I, I, little cousin, first learn the name of second cousin."

Of course Sun Daji quit: "No, I'm the biggest, from the oldest to the youngest, you should learn from me first."

Sun Dahe and Sun Daxiang are also arguing endlessly.

Sun Daru and his two little cousins, one is because they are the youngest and cannot compete with a few older brothers, and the other two are girls, so they never compete with them.

"Stop, don't quarrel." Zhao Zhitong stopped them fiercely: "If you keep arguing for a while, we will learn one less word. How about this, listen to me, I will arrange, girls first, let's learn from my cousin first and my little cousin's name."

The cousins ​​listened to Zhao Zhitong's words the most, and they didn't argue anymore. Their eyes were wide open, watching Zhao Zhitong write on the ground.

"This is Sun, your last name..."
