The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 66

What should I do if there is no male in the family who can continue the business but I don't want to lose my incense for nothing?

In other people's homes, this is actually not a problem at all.

After all, there is no such thing as family planning in this day and age. Every household has a group of children. Not to mention that the aristocratic families have always been thriving, even the common people are mostly clustered together. There will be no shortage of people.Even if someone in a certain generation unfortunately did not raise a male heir to carry on the family line, it would be great to adopt a child from a family close to the same clan. This is also recognized as the simplest and most common method.

However, the Lin family has been single-passed for many generations, and there are no close relatives who have children for adoption within the five clothes.Fortunately, the Lin family is not the only one in the world, and it is not impossible to solve it.

If the family is so unfortunate that there is no blood left, as long as there is still some money in hand, it is also possible to adopt an orphan who has no father and no mother, or someone with the same surname is willing to send the child out to them to inherit the family. Once it is recorded in the genealogy, everything will be safe, as long as you are careful not to raise a white-eyed wolf, there will be no future troubles.And if there is a daughter in the family, and you don’t want the family property to be cheap for outsiders, then it is necessary to give the daughter or set up a daughter-in-law household, or make an agreement with the son-in-law’s family to ask a grandson to come back with his own surname, and the law also recognizes it. of.As for which way the family chooses, one depends on the power and wealth of the family, and the other depends on the girl's scheming skills.

And Lin Ruhai is now testing her daughter's temperament and ability.

Although abilities are mostly acquired, temperament is mostly predetermined by nature, as can be seen from the so-called three-year-old saying.And Baochai is now eight years old, even if there are still many things to learn in the future, it does not hinder her xinxing has basically grown up, if she is really a helpless person, Lin Ruhai can only think about it no matter how difficult it is Otherwise, a girl who is so innocent that she can't stand up is really raised, and she has a lot of family property waiting to be swallowed alive.

Clan law only recognizes male heirs' right to property more often, so if the Lin family wants a woman to inherit the family business, they have to face hundreds of times more problems than men. Even if Lin Ruhai intends to support his daughter to inherit the Lin family business, At least the daughter must be tough enough to stand up.

Fortunately, Baochai was born relatively early, and the age difference between her and her younger brother was five years. It can be said that she was always an only child in the first few years of her life. Girlfriend is stronger.After all, Jia Min was already [-] years old when she gave birth to Baochai because of repeated filial piety. Judging from the average age of women these days, no one knows whether Jia Min is still blessed to be able to be born again. A boy came out, and coupled with the fact that the Lin family had always had thin children, Lin Ruhai thought that he could only have a girl at that time, and at the beginning he really raised him according to the standard of Chengzong daughter.

Although after having a son, Lin Ruhai slacked off on educating his daughter in this area, and only let his wife teach Baochai girls what they should learn. It's good to get married to someone who is a good family, and you don't have to face up to difficulties and live a hard life. Who would have thought that such an accident would happen within a few years.

If this girl without a brother wants to support a family alone in the future, no matter what family she is in, it will be extremely difficult. It is more difficult for a wealthy family to be tempted by money than ordinary families.Especially from the perspective of Lin Ruhai's age, he will never be able to support his grandson to become an adult, and it will only make Baochai work harder, but fortunately, even if there is a delay of a few years in between, the temper developed in childhood cannot be changed. , It's not too difficult to pick it up now, which makes people feel a little relieved.

In fact, from the fact that Baochai was able to help Jia Min's housekeeper when he was four or five years old, and even when he was six or seven years old, he was able to carry the housekeeping of the Lin family's housekeeper after Jia Min fell ill. It can be seen that Lin Ruhai's previous upbringing was actually It's not in vain either.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Baochai can maintain this transparency in the world, as long as Lin Ruhai can live longer, she will definitely be able to support the smooth transition of the Lin family to the next generation.As for the following, if Baochai can give birth to a boy who inherits the Lin family clan, then with Baochai's methods at that time, protecting the child and growing up well, there is nothing to worry about, but if Baochai is unfortunate enough to have only one girl or one If the children didn't survive, it was true that the Lin family was going to die in the sky, and no human power could make up for it.

It is always a thousand times harder for a woman to inherit the family business than for a man. There is no room for negligence in the intricate joints, and Lin Ruhai is forced to be stricter with her daughter.

Illnesses come and go like a mountain, and now Jia Min spends most of her time confinement in her room recuperating. The rest of her time is spent on remote monitoring of Jia's family, and she doesn't have much time for her daughter.

Everyone has to admit that even though Jia Min will definitely love her own flesh and blood, it can be seen from the fact that she was willing to turn her back on Aunt Xue because of Baochai's prescription, but she also cannot avoid the occasional love at this time. Unreasonable venting of anger.

She is willing to work hard to keep her daughter alive so that her daughter will not be ruined by others, even though she will definitely face all kinds of rumors and rumors in the future because she failed to give the Lin family an heir, but she will still inevitably wonder why she survived not son.

If possible, Jia Min would rather give up her own life in exchange for a pair of children to grow up healthily, but when only one of the children can survive, she will inevitably fall into the cliché.

Under this mentality, after hearing that Baochai was brought by her husband, Jia Min simply didn't ask too many details. It was right that the husband cared about his daughter's health when he lost a child. Apart from sending a sigh of relief secretly, I didn't pay any more attention.

When Jia Min recovered from his illness and was able to go out of the room to take care of all the family affairs, Baochai was not only able to handle the family affairs in an orderly manner, but even began to accompany Lin Ruhai to meet guests, not just like girls of the same age. To see the little girl who came to visit with her parents, and to be able to accompany Lin Ruhai in her son's clothes, and to see Lin Ruhai's close colleagues in the officialdom.

Don't look at Baochai wearing boy's clothes, but firstly, boys and girls can never fool people by changing clothes, secondly, no one close to him knows that there is only one girl left in the Lin family. The only one who can match is the sister of the Lin family.

What is important nowadays is that men and women have different seats at the age of seven, and the daughter's house is not allowed to see outsiders, otherwise it would be a matter of hurting the reputation. If it weren't for the unusual situation of the Lin family, and Lin Ruhai would let her daughter wear men's clothing to cover up One or two, the Lin family has long been buried in rumors.

Just as Jia Min knew what had happened during his recuperation period, he almost went insane.

Faced with his wife's questioning, Lin Ruhai inevitably felt guilty.

The road of the small crowd has always been the most difficult, and everyone knows that it is never easy to be a female patriarch.Even if Baochai is six or seven years older, Lin Ruhai can find a way to find a safe family to marry off his daughter and bring back a grandson. Although Baochai will have a harder life than ordinary girls, he can still live a happy life. Guarantee that her daughter will live a smooth and peaceful life.Only Lin Ruhai is now in his 40s and only got such an eight-year-old girl. Since the average life expectancy of the Lin family is only 50 years old, he will never wait for his grandson to grow up, so he can only feel sorry for his daughter.

Of course, the housekeeper of the daughter's house cannot be left behind, and she has to call the doctor to take care of Baochai's body frequently. Even the family's close interpersonal relationship is indispensable for the affairs of the previous dynasty, and she even has to do more than most people. good job.

The daughters of the aristocratic family have always been pampered since they were young, not to mention that Baochai was not too healthy when she was born. Before the Lengxiang Wan was formulated, she was always like a porcelain doll who could not be tired or hot.Even though Leng Xiangwan had restrained her illness to a large extent, if she had to work harder like now, no one could guarantee that Baochai's health would not have any problems.

Lin Ruhai had no choice but to explain his plan to Jia Min.

The Jia family has always been a big family, and there is no trace of their days in the countryside during the previous dynasty, but since the first Ning Ronggong made his fortune, the population has become more and more prosperous. Among the real relatives and friends, like Wang Ziteng's family, there are no male heirs, and there are always younger nephews who can be adopted to inherit. I have never heard of female heirs—at most, I just listened to it as a rare thing. After a word or two, which family adopted a grandson to come back, or picked up a child to go home for the elderly, but I never thought about letting my daughter recruit a new family.

As for the age... Jia Daishan died because of the sequelae of being injured on the battlefield when he was young, and Jia's mother is still healthy and healthy. Now that his husband and wife are only 40 years old, Jia Min really couldn't think of her husband's worrying life. number problem.

In most families, there is a so-called strict father and loving mother. Now that Lin Ruhai has started to raise Baochai harshly, Jia Min immediately threw away all the discomfort and felt distressed.

For example, it has to be said that Baochai has been very tired recently and the whole person has lost weight. The face of a little girl who was already dignified and round was rounded up, making Baochai now rely entirely on her innate The conditions are excellent enough to make her look good even if she is rounder.

The author has something to say:

The so-called patriarchy can only be separated after having children.They are also their own children, so it cannot be said that Jia Min must be patriarchal, but it is true that under the circumstances at that time, sons and daughters were still different.

I remember watching the Tangshan Earthquake movie, my sister and younger brother were crushed under the stone slab and only one could be saved. When the elder sister kept making noises to save herself and the younger brother had no voice at all, my mother cried for a long time and couldn’t make a choice. When the rescuers decided to go to someone else without waiting for her to choose, the mother finally chose her younger brother, but she has been sad about it all her life. The original place, because I was afraid that my sister would not find the way home.

It can't be said that this mother doesn't love her children, even people who claim to be fair will definitely have a biased heart.When Jia Min was in a corner, she would think why her son didn't survive, but it didn't affect her love for her child.
