Rebirth and Raising a Baby

Later, Lin Chunhua negotiated with the two elders of the Xu family, and the request was that if Chu Zhi changed his surname, he must compensate the other children.

Because of this matter, she didn't expect Chu Zhi to agree, so she refused first. She thought it was to protect the children's feelings, but she was suddenly disrupted by this trick.

The two elders of the Xu family were also a little guilty. At that time, they only focused on persuading Chu Zhi, and did not remind him to ask for Lin Chunhua's consent, and even concealed the fact that Lin Chunhua had already refused... Otherwise, Chu Zhi would not have agreed so easily .

The final result was that the two elders of the Xu family took out 1 yuan of their savings and divided it equally between the three brothers and the younger sister, and gave Chu Zhi everything else. As for how much, Lin Chunhua didn't ask.

Lin Ling couldn't say he was happy about the extra money in vain, but as a relative of the Xu family, it was almost settled.

Well, the next day is Sunday.

Chu Yi wanted to go back to the village to repair a house in Linjia Village. Lin Ling and him took Lin Chunhua and Chu Zhi to the village to change their surname.

When they arrived in the village, Chu Yi left, leaving Lin Ling and Lin Chunhua to do business together.

"Mother, do you still have to go to the village to change your surname?"

Lin Ling thought he was going to the police station in the county town to make corrections, but he didn't expect to have to go back to the village.

Lin Chunhua coughed, "If we talk about the procedure, of course we have to go to the county seat, but our roots are all in the village, so naturally we have to inform, and the family tree also needs to be changed."

It may be that it rained last night, and the old lady caught a little cold, and she has been coughing all the time today. It is a suppressed cough, which makes people feel distressed.

"Does our family still have a family tree?" Lin Ling didn't even know there was such a thing.

"That's necessary, our Chu family is also a common surname!" Lin Chunhua said this with pride.

I went to the village chief's house and met several elders in the village at the ancestral hall. Wang Dahu stepped forward to negotiate.

"Okay, why did you change your surname?"

"I never heard that you have relatives named Xu!"

Several people stared at Chu Zhi and Lin Chunhua carefully, with doubts on their faces.

Lin Chunhua had no choice but to explain euphemistically, "That's right, you all know that I was adopted by the Lin family. I met my biological sister in the county not long ago..."

"She looks very similar to me, and the situation is right, so we recognize each other."

"There are only two old people left in my biological mother's natal family, and there are no heirs to inherit. Seeing that I have many children and grandchildren, that's why I want a child to change his surname and inherit the Xu family."

"Of course I can't refuse such filial piety. Xiaozhi and his older brothers have children, so it's inconvenient to change their surnames rashly. I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of the elderly if they change their surnames..."

"It just so happens that Xiaozhi is the right age. He is a teenager, so he doesn't need to worry about the old man."

After listening to this explanation, several clan elders were lost in thought.

This reason is very sufficient, and it is also worthy of recognition.

It is right to be filial to the elderly.

Several people discussed it, and the fourth uncle asked first. "Since this is the case, should the family tree be moved?"

This meant that he agreed to Chu Zhi's change of surname.

"No, no, no!" Lin Chunhua quickly refused.

If this was migrated from the family tree, then in the records, she would not have this son.

This is not what she wants.

"..."

Several clan elders discussed a few more words, and finally the fourth uncle got up, went to the hall of the ancestral hall to take out the genealogy tree, scratched it with a brush, re-wrote the surname, and carefully recorded today's events and reasons.

After finishing the work and saying goodbye to several clan elders, today's goal has been achieved.

Wang Dahu left without saying anything.

Both Lin Chunhua and Chu Zhi felt a little uncomfortable, and they were silent all the way.

Lin Ling didn't know what to say. After all, she had never experienced this kind of thing, and she didn't know how to comfort her, so she just quietly accompanied her.

Chu Zhi's mood was a little complicated.

At first, he thought it was just a matter of changing his surname, but now that he really changed it, he felt a little lost, and always felt that there seemed to be something different.

"Let's go back!"

In the end, it was Lin Chunhua who spoke first.

The three returned to the old house.

Someone saw it on the road and couldn't help asking why they went to the ancestral hall.

"Could it be that Lin Ling is pregnant?" The gossiping aunts stared at Lin Ling's stomach for a moment.

Lin Chunhua quickly interrupted their guessing and told the story.

She had already discussed it, and the name of this matter was to show filial piety to the two elders of the Xu family, and did not mention the inheritance of property.

"In this way, Xiaozhi won't be named Chu in the future?"

"Then he will be from the city from now on? Or from our Qingshan Village?"

"Aunt Chunhua, you are really willing to let go of such a promising son as Xiaozhi..."

"Yeah, Xiaozhi heard that he has to go to college in the future..."

Several aunts were very sorry.

If it were them, they would definitely be reluctant to let go of their well-raised son.

Although it is a surname change, the son born to me doesn't have the same surname as his own man. Does that make sense? No matter how I think about it, I feel separated.

Chu Zhi was so ashamed by these words that he couldn't lift his head.

It wasn't his mother's willingness at all, but he made up his own mind.

When he thought that his mother had already rejected it for his elder brothers, he was very annoyed. How could he have been so obsessed with ghosts back then...

After Lin Chunhua finished explaining, she ignored the siege of the villagers and led them back to the old house.

"I haven't come back for a while, and the house is covered in ashes."

Lin Chunhua sighed.

No one has been watching TV for a while, and it has a layer of dust on it.

Including the dining table and coffee table, the same is true on the ground. Once you walk by, there is an obvious footprint.

"Mother, why don't you go to our side, Chu Yi will definitely clean up." Lin Ling knew that she was in a bad mood, so he took her hand to persuade her.

If Chu Yi didn't clean up, then she should clean him up!

"No, just take a look, and clean up after you come back to live." Lin Chunhua stopped.

The purpose of returning to the village is to run errands, and now that the work is done, it is time to return to the county seat.

"It's the TV set that was delayed by putting it here. When you have time, you can ask Chu Yi to move it back and put it in our small building. It looks better than the black and white one."

"It's the same thing, it's so heavy, it's hard to move it..."

"In the future, I'll buy you a light and good-looking TV, so you can move it away easily..."

"Just coax me!"

The two chatted on their own, and no one cared about Chu Zhi behind him.

Chu Zhi felt even more uncomfortable.

"Mom, I'll buy you a bigger one in the future, and I'll even buy you a house..."

After saying this, Lin Chunhua paused, "What did you buy it with? With Xu's money?"

"Mother..." Chu Zhi was a little hurt.

He obviously didn't mean that, he just wanted to say that he would respect her in the future.

Lin Chunhua glanced at him, but finally restrained her anger.

"If you really want to be filial to me, use the money you earn yourself. I'm not greedy for the Xu family's money!"

"Hey!" Chu Zhi hurriedly responded.

After this episode, a smile appeared on his face again.

The atmosphere is no longer so tense.
