Le'an County, Qingshan Village.

"Hey, have you heard? Dashanzi of the old Qin family picked up a child and said he wanted to raise the child as his daughter."

It was evening, and the women who had been busy in the fields all day had no time to spare when they returned home. They had to tend their vegetable fields. Some carried water to water the vegetables, some held hoes to loosen the soil and weed, and some took advantage of the darkness

Vegetable insect.

Most of the vegetable fields in the village are concentrated in this small area, one house after another. There are several women watering the vegetable fields while chatting and gossiping about the boring and heavy life day after day, year after year.

Add some fun to it.

But no one expected that this important topic would come up today, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone was so surprised that they stopped what they were doing and looked at the speaker.

Some people felt it was not credible and raised questions:

"Really or not? The old Qin family doesn't have much land, they still support a scholar, and the whole family is barely starving to death. If Dashanzi picks up a child out of thin air and raises it, will the rest of his family be happy?"

What he said made sense, and the rest of the people agreed:

"Yes, yes, if nothing else, last year Uncle Qin took the initiative to raise his sister's granddaughter, which made his second daughter-in-law complain all over. If he raises another one, there will be a big commotion!"

"Who says it's not the case? Even if Dashanzi and his wife decide that they want to have a child to support them until they die, they still have to have a boy. What's the use of picking up a girl?"

"That's not the case! Even if you like your daughter and your baby girl, if you have a ready-made one at home, your cousin and niece, who are related to each other, won't raise her and pick one up as your daughter. No one will do such a stupid thing."

Speaking of which, the Dashanzi couple are not lucky. They have been married for seven or eight years and have not given birth to a son and a half. It would be fine to say that Dashanzi's daughter-in-law has something wrong and cannot give birth to a child. However, she is pregnant with four or five and cannot give birth to a single child.

She had a miscarriage when she was two or three months old.

For this matter, the couple burned incense and paper to pay homage to the mountain. It was a pity that the mother-in-law could not see the sincerity of the couple. In recent years, let alone giving them a baby, the belly of the daughter-in-law of Dashanzi simply stopped moving.

It's about to end.

It’s not that no one advised the couple to take a baby from their brother, but the couple didn’t believe in evil and had to give birth to a child by themselves. Unexpectedly, they heard that Dashanzi picked up a female baby and raised it. Is this person talking nonsense?

The woman who was questioned was unhappy and shouted loudly: "Lao Qin and I are separated by a wall. I can smell everything his family eats. I saw that girl brought home by Dashanzi with my own eyes."

, I personally heard what Dashanzi told his wife about raising her as a daughter. If you don’t believe me, just ask yourself, what’s the point of me lying to you!”

She likes to talk about the shortcomings of the Zhang family and the Li family, but she never talks nonsense. She has no grudges with the old Qin family, so Lin Qiuniang would look sad all day long after she couldn't give birth to a child. She would comfort her twice when she saw it.

It's not like some people who keep a straight face and secretly call others chickens that don't lay eggs.

Hearing what she said so confidently, the others looked at each other and couldn't help but believe it, and started talking about it:

"I think it's a big deal. Qin Laoer's baby is already eight months old. A few days ago, I heard her say that if the baby is a boy, he will be adopted as a son by her elder brother and sister-in-law. There is no way she can give up this baby.

I guess I snatched the female doll that came out of nowhere."

"It's true. Not only Qin's second family is not easy to mess with, but the Feng family may also come to make trouble after hearing about it."

"Tch, what are they causing trouble? My daughter and son-in-law are gone, so I don't want to raise a granddaughter. I shamelessly send my granddaughter to the old Qin family who has been married for a few times. Don't even think about raising a daughter in Dashanzi.

Even if he raises ten or eight, it has nothing to do with the Feng family!"

In the entire Qingshan Village, no one knows about the bad things that the Feng family has done. They are really making trouble with each other. Everyone in the village can drown them with a spit of saliva. Let’s see if they have the nerve to go out and meet people!

Several people were talking with dry mouths, wondering whether the old Qin family would recognize the girl brought back by Dashanzi, but they didn't even notice that someone came quietly with a bucket and then left quietly.

…

Usually at this time, Lao Qin's family, like most families in the village, would sit around the table to have dinner while the sky was not completely dark, chatting about the crops in the fields and arranging work for tomorrow.

It's just that today's Lao Qin's house is very different. The low and old stove has three sides of ventilation, the pots are cold and the water is cold, and there is no smoke in the chimney. The chickens who stretch their necks and chase people every day to chatter for food and drink are also peaceful.

Nestled quietly in the corner; even in the spacious and flat mud yard, there were no children playing, only low voices came from the main room, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

All these changes were caused by the fact that Qin Shan, the boss of the Qin family, went into the mountains to pick up wood and unexpectedly picked up a female doll and raised it as a daughter.

In the room, there were all the men, women, and children of the Qin family. The adults all had serious faces, and there was no smile on their faces. The children were either uneasy, confused, or curious, and did not dare to make a sound for fear of provoking the adults' scolding.

.

Mr. Qin, who is nearly fifty years old and has gray hair, looked solemnly at his eldest son and daughter-in-law standing in front of him. His dark, thin, deeply wrinkled face showed no expression, and it was impossible to tell what was in his heart.

Qin Shan was not sure what his biological father meant, but it did not hinder his determination, so he took the initiative and said: "Dad, my son is twenty-six years old. I have been looking at Qiu Niang for eight years without finding a baby. I accept my fate."

, I don’t want to bother anymore, I just want to raise the baby. I don’t want to go underground one day and there won’t even be anyone going to the grave to burn paper.”

So what if she's not her biological child? As long as she loves her well and raises her well, how can she not kiss him as her father? Even if she doesn't kiss him, it doesn't matter. It must be that he, the father, has not taught her well. He just accepts it.

.

Over the years, he has missed his baby almost crazy!

"Brother, that's not what you said." Before Mr. Qin could say anything, Zhao Cao'er, the second daughter-in-law of the Qin family, ignored her husband Qin Chuan's obstruction and shouted at the top of her voice with her tall belly: "Our family had discussed this before.

As long as the baby in my belly is a boy, I will adopt it as your son. Now I am eight months old, but you picked up a bastard from outside. Is there such a thing?"

Since Qin Shan came back with a child half an hour ago, Zhao Cao'er realized that something was wrong.

Zhao Cao'er has been married to the Qin family for six years and has given birth to two sons and one daughter. The two sons are her treasures and her confidence in the Qin family. She is reluctant to adopt them out; as for daughters, they will eventually get married when they grow up.

, she won’t be able to get the bride price after adoption, and she won’t do anything to make her suffer.

I thought that if I could give birth to a third son, I would adopt him as a son to the eldest couple and take the family business created by the couple into the palm of my hand. But it turned out that I was really pregnant. I went to see Wen Po two days ago.

, and concluded that the child in her belly was a son.

After a lot of talking, she finally persuaded the two elders to adopt her as the fourth child. How could she have imagined that such a commotion would happen and all her plans would be disrupted.

Humph, everything in the Qin family should belong to her son. That bastard with no father or mother will go back wherever he came from. If he wants to rob her precious son's things, there is no way!

Qin Shan was not a good-tempered man. When he heard Zhao Cao'er's words, he snorted and smacked him back mercilessly: "I'm talking to dad, is it your turn to interrupt? Second brother, take care of your mother-in-law!"

The last words were spoken to his younger brother Qin Chuan. He looked down upon Qin Chuan for allowing his mother-in-law to interrupt.

Mr. Qin raised his eyelids and did not express any opinion, but his face became more serious, which showed that he was also dissatisfied with the second daughter-in-law's random interruption.

"You, you, uh~" Zhao Cao'er's face turned red with anger. Just as he was about to continue speaking, someone covered his mouth from behind.

"Shut up, if you dare to speak randomly again, I'll beat you," Qin Chuan said viciously with an ugly face. He didn't want to stop his wife, but he was more afraid of his elder brother's fist.

The men of the Qin family will not directly teach their daughter-in-law or sister-in-law who made mistakes, but it is okay to beat up their son or younger brother.

Qin Chuan rarely said harsh words, so he immediately suppressed Zhao Cao'er and closed his mouth unwillingly.

Qin Shan was not stupid. He knew what the two couples were planning, so he simply took this opportunity to talk: "You mentioned the adoption matter to your parents, but I didn't agree with your sister-in-law! Now we, the couple, also have a daughter.

Now, the baby you gave birth to is naturally yours to raise."

After saying that, he ignored the sudden change in the faces of the second brother and the couple, and turned to look at Mr. Qin expectantly: "Dad, when do you think it is appropriate to say hello to the patriarch and write a family tree for my daughter?"

Qingshan Village is a village with mixed surnames. There are only 50 or 60 households in the village with seven or eight surnames. However, Qin is a common surname, accounting for two-thirds of the households in the village. There is a genealogy, a clan chief, and in the early days, there was an ethnography.

It's just that there have been no promising talents in the clan, and the clan school has not been able to continue.

Generally, girls are not included in the family tree, but if there are only girls in the family but no boys, and the girl stays at home to raise a child, and the child born in the future has the girl's surname, then the girl's name can also appear on the family tree.

Mr. Qin ignored his eldest son and suddenly asked his wife, Mrs. Miao, who was sitting beside him: "What do you think about this?"

The Qin family is headed by Mr. Qin, and as long as he makes the decision, he will not ask other people's opinions. Mrs. Miao, who has always regarded her husband as her first priority, did not expect that the old man would ask her. She was stunned for a moment and then said hesitantly: "It's ours.

It is indeed impossible to have a child. I am happy that he has figured it out and is willing to raise a child, but..."

As she said that, she glanced at Zhao Cao'er's belly. She obviously wanted her eldest son and his wife to adopt the second son's child. After all, they were their biological nephews and were related by blood. It was better than raising an outsider.

Mr. Qin nodded, his eyes fell on the eldest son, eldest daughter-in-law and his wife, and said solemnly: "Boss, boss and wife, have you made up your mind to raise that child?"

The couple's eyes lit up, knowing that the old man had agreed. Just as they were about to nod and say "yes", an urgent shout suddenly came from the yard: "Wait a minute -"
