Chapter 474 People's Heart
Finally, after Zou Pingbo repeatedly made it clear that he was indeed going to adopt, Zou Dalang and other leaders of the Zou family's houses ceased their activities and stopped the performances that everyone knew about.
“That’s what it is.
I know that this adoption is a big deal and cannot be accomplished in a day, so I would like to say hello to all my brothers first.
I also made it clear that if my wife and I are lucky enough to have a child in the future, the future adoptive heir will be the same as my biological son. Except for my wife’s own body, all I have will be divided equally between the two children. .
If I don't get God's blessing, then this heir will be the heir to all my property. "
Not to mention the other heads of the Zou family, Zou Dalang, the biggest person in charge of the Zou family, listened to Zou Pingbo's words, and his heart moved for a moment.
"I Oh my God, that is Lao Qi’s entire property! "
After placing the big melon, Zou Pingbo served tea to see off the guests. Everyone bowed and left one by one.
I can still hold back on this journey, but As soon as everyone returned to their respective courtyards, the couple looked at each other, with longing in their eyes
Zou Dalang and Mrs. Zou sat down, each with a cup of tea. After drinking half a cup, Mrs. Zou asked Zou Dalang: "What Qi Lang did, our family should not be able to do this."
Zou Dalang Looking at Madam Zou, she nodded thoughtfully: "What you are saying is that just because I have an official position today, Qi Lang will not choose our room leader.
Silang's room can't be chosen either. Yes.
The only ones left in the family are Erlang, the second brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother.
As for the eighth son, he got married late, and now there is only one. Erlang is excluded.”
Mrs. Zou is taking care of things at home, but she knows more than Zou Dalang.
“It can’t be Erlang’s family. Let’s not talk about Erlang. Erlang’s wife is a powerful woman. She doesn’t get involved in anything. She is always polite. But in fact, she looks down on us sisters-in-law the most. .
If it is an adoption, it is impossible for Qi Lang to adopt a concubine, and Erlang’s wife cannot be willing to adopt a legitimate son.”
Zou Dalang rarely interacts with his sisters-in-law, so he doesn’t know that there is something else involved. With all these things going on, after listening to Madam Zou's explanation, she couldn't help but frown.
When Mrs. Zou saw him like this, she sighed and continued: "You don't have to think there is any discord, it's just that each family lives its own life and everyone has their own character.
On the whole, it's just passable.
The tree has big branches, and now they are all gathered in the same house. Isn’t it because you and Shiro have official positions, so the whole family can still benefit from being in the same place?
After all, our eldest son is the eldest. He will get married next year. The children in the other heads of their houses are still young. They have to wait until the men and women of each family get married. Mention the matter of family separation. ”
As the eldest son of his direct descendants, Zou Dalang knew that what Mrs. Zou told the truth was true. If there was no profit to be gained, who would really want the whole family to live together?
< br>"Liu Lang, who lives in the fourth room, has never gotten along with Qi Lang since he was a child. When we were young, one year during the Lantern Festival, the two had a fight.
When I went to clean up their mess, I saw that there was no warmth in Shichiro's eyes. ”
Zou Dalang couldn’t help but sigh when he thought of the scene at that time.
But Madam Zou, who was sitting aside, had her eyes wide open at this time, looking at a loss. .
Although Mrs. Zou married early, she also knew that the half-brothers Zou Liulang and Zou Pingbo, who lived in the same house, had a bad relationship, but she never knew the reason for this bad relationship. It started when they were young
The husband of the fourth brother of the Zou family had a bad fate and always had a tendency to suppress his wife.
When I married my first wife, before the child was born, a cold wind took her away. The second wife was Zou Liulang's mother.
People of this generation only have a vague idea of what happened between the previous generation, but don’t know much about the specifics.
It is only said that Rokuro's mother committed suicide due to depression. After being rescued, she went on a hunger strike and died.
Then, the third wife was Zou Pingbo’s mother.
Therefore, Zou Liulang is only less than three years older than Zou Pingbo.
But for some reason, in the third room of the Zou family, when Zou Pingbo was not yet five years old, his mother also failed to survive the cold, so she passed away.
Originally, the two children lost their mothers when they were young, and they were still related by blood. They should have licked each other's wounds and warmed each other.
However, the two were somewhat incompatible. After Zou Dalang investigated, he discovered that it was a servant left by Liu Lang's mother who said some confusing words in Liu Lang's ears, which meant to accuse Gein. It was the mother-in-law of Zou Pingbo who made Liulang's mother commit suicide.
How could Liulang and Zou Pingbo have a good relationship?
Although Zou Dalang stopped the two of them at that time, he also found out the truth behind the scenes, beat up the gossiping servant and sold him away.
The rift between Ke Liulang and Zou Pingbo can no longer be mended with a few kind words.
Mrs. Zou picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Then only Sanlang and Wulang are left.
If I must say it, the relationship between Sanlang's wife and Qilang's wife is better.
After all, in our big family, except Qilang, who found a wife for himself, most of the others have marriages arranged by their elders
Aye, Qilang's daughter-in-law, is just a gentleman who teaches in an academy. Her brother also teaches in an academy. His family situation is indeed inferior to that of the other sisters-in-law, who all have officials in their parents' families.
Because of this, except for Sanlang's wife who is interested in Qilang's ability and is willing to treat Qizilang's wife warmly, the other sisters-in-law are mostly just a face-saving person.
Although they are not as open-minded and look down on as Erlang's wife, they all maintain a friendly relationship with three smiles when meeting each other. ”
After the final analysis, Zou Dalang and Mrs. Zou both felt that it should be the third bedroom, and Zou Pingbo should adopt the heir from the third bedroom.
In addition to the reasons mentioned above In addition, the third bedroom is also the most fertile in the Zou family.
Sanlang's wife gave birth to four legitimate sons alone, not to mention bastards. There were three bastards in the third wife's house.
“No matter what, it’s all meat rotten in the same pot.
But, I’m afraid that if Shichiro really chooses the third bedroom in the end, the other bedrooms will have objections.
After all, even I was a little excited after seeing Qilang's share of the property, let alone others.
Oh, then there will be another lawsuit. ”
At the end of the night conversation between the Zou family's eldest husband and wife, they were worried that because of this valuable money, all the heads of the Zou family would want to take a bite, which would lead to a bloody head injury and split the family.
As for the other houses, they did not stand on the overall situation and worry about the Zou family like Zou Dalang. Instead, they all only thought about what benefits their own house could get from this.
In this case, it is nothing more than that people’s hearts are different.
Profits are the best friends. Family affection is valuable, but many times, family affection is not as good as interests in the face of people's hearts!
