Chapter 187 Do you really think they dare not?
Lu Qingrong really didn't expect that his own mother would be so ridiculous and difficult to deal with.
Even his deceased father can be used as a shield.
"Mom, I know you're angry, but you can't ruin my reputation!"
"I have always loved and cared for you. You are the most important person in my heart."
He then said forcefully, "I only have Wulang, and there is no way I would adopt him out. Please stop making a fuss."
Old Lady Lu snorted coldly with red eyes, "Bullshit, your little thing is now known to everyone in the village."
"Your two stepchildren are the bastards born to you and that bitch."
"That's why you are so nice to the two bastards, and treat Wulang harshly."
"Since you two can't tolerate Wu Lang, I will certainly help you."
Lu Qingrong was so angry that his chest heaved, "Mom, those are all rumors spread by outsiders, why are you also following suit and talking nonsense?"
"They are not my biological children, I can swear to it."
He is really going crazy.
It is conceivable that even one’s own mother and brothers believe this, so how can outsiders not believe it?
The old lady said impatiently: "Okay, I don't want to talk to you about this."
"We came here today to ask you to adopt Wulang to the third brother."
"Whether you are willing or not, it doesn't matter."
Lu Qingrong said stiffly, "Wulang is my son. I don't want to be adopted. Even if you are my mother, you can't force me."
Old Lady Lu said, "I've already told you that it was your dead father who insisted on having you adopted. Don't you even listen to your biological father?"
Lu Qingrong: "..."
The clan leader also said: "Qingrong, your father asked you to be adopted, if you don't listen, then it would be unfilial."
"You had an affair with a married woman and gave birth to a bastard. This is already unrighteous and immoral."
"Are you still going to be unfilial?"
"Are you really going to sing opera instead of continuing the imperial examination?"
Lu Qingrong didn't expect that the clan leader would follow his mother's nonsense.
It seems that these people came prepared.
And he kept emphasizing that he wanted to perform in an opera. Who was he insulting?
"Chief, even you believe my mother's lies?"
He said forcefully, "I don't believe in my father's dream, and this is my family affair. I don't want to be adopted, and no one can force me."
Old Mrs. Lu said with red eyes: "You ridiculed your own mother and told lies in front of so many people."
"You are cursing me. Do you want me to go and be with your damn father as soon as possible?"
"Oh my God, how could I raise such an unfilial son."
Then he looked at the clan leader sadly and aggrievedly and said, "Clan leader, you have to make the decision for me."
The clan leader felt that it was a perfect decision to let Old Lady Lu come along today.
When it comes to being unreasonable, who can compare to her?
The key is that it sounds quite reasonable.
He scowled at Lu Qingrong, "Old Five, is there anyone who curses his own mother like you?"
He used Lu Qingrong's original words to say to Qiao Ye, "Where is your filial piety when you talk back to your elders?"
Lu Qingrong was so angry that he fell backwards. In the past, he was the only one who used filial piety to suppress his own son, but he didn't expect that today he would also be suppressed by filial piety.
"I didn't curse my mother. I just didn't want to adopt my only biological son."
“Is this wrong?”
The clan leader could see that Lu Qingrong was very determined and didn't want to let his own son go.
The more this is the case, the more important it is to complete the adoption.
Otherwise, Wulang would be harmed by this Lu Laowu.
He said: "Your father and we are brothers. We must obey his last wishes in the underworld."
"If you insist on being unfilial and going against the clan."
"That's fine. We'll just have to open the ancestral hall and expel you from the clan."
"Before I came here, I had already asked other elders and tribesmen, and they all supported the idea of adopting Wu Lang to the third brother."
He also said forcefully: "This is no longer a matter for your family, but a matter for the whole clan."
This is the power of clan.
If you have the courage, you can abandon the clan and set up your own business.
But the law stipulated that people who were expelled from their clans could not take part in the imperial examinations.
Does Lu Qingrong have the courage to do this?
Lu Qingrong looked at the clan leader in disbelief, "Just for an adoption, you actually want to expel me from the clan?"
"Is it because my reputation has been ruined that you can't tolerate me anymore?"
"So you're looking for an excuse to expel me from the clan?"
He had thought about being expelled from the clan, but he only wanted to use it on his son.
Who would have thought that such an outrageous change would happen to him.
The clan leader said: "As long as you agree to adopt me, there is no need to exterminate my clan."
Lu Qingrong suddenly laughed out loud, "Haha, hahaha..."
I never expected that after all the planning, I would end up being planned against by my own son.
If he hasn't realized by now that the news about the Qiao and Zhou families that ruined his reputation so quickly in the county was masterminded by his own son, he would be a fool.
It turns out that the son was not unafraid of his reputation being affected, but he had already thought of a way to get rid of it.
But he was unwilling to do so. "If I don't adopt you, are you sure you want to expel me from the clan?"
"If you do this, then I will have no choice but to report it to the police and say that you forced me."
Old Mrs. Lu was also getting angry. "Go ahead and report it. Then I will report it to the authorities too. You curse your mother for being unfilial, and your wife even beats and scolds her mother-in-law."
Lu Qingrong was shocked by these words and looked at the old lady again in disbelief, "Mom, am I really your biological son?"
How could she do this to herself? He was her most beloved son!
Mrs. Lu asked back, "Is Wu Lang your biological son? How do you treat him?"
"Your father loves this grandson very much and told me to protect him."
"So if you don't adopt me, I will go to the government and sue you two for being unfilial."
She added: "The clan wants to expel you from the clan, so I will listen to your father and separate your five branches in the county."
Last night, my granddaughter-in-law talked to them a lot about the future impact of the fifth branch of the county town on the Lu family.
The youngest son is completely bewitched by Yu, and who knows what more outrageous and foolish things he will do in the future.
It is very likely to bring disaster to the Lu family, which is just beginning to live a good life.
Therefore, in addition to adoption, it is best to divide the five houses in the county.
After the family split up, no matter how the fifth brother and his wife acted or what harm they caused, it had nothing to do with them.
Several other departments also expressed their support for this proposal.
They all said that they could stay out of the trouble, but they were unwilling to share the blame with the fifth room, otherwise it would be too unfair.
The old lady thought about it all night, but still hadn't made up her mind.
But when she arrived, she saw her youngest son and his wife applying powder to pretend to be sick, trying to trick her into being soft-hearted.
She knew that these two people were beyond help.
He doesn't care about his family members at all and only deals with them with petty means.
An ungrateful person who only remembers grudges and never remembers kindness.
This made her make a final decision that not only did she want to adopt the child, but she also had to divide the family.
The four brothers of Boss Lu then spoke up: "We can testify for our mother that you and your wife are unfilial."
The clan leader also said: "If you want to report to the authorities, there will be no problem."
"You and Yu had an affair before marriage, and after marriage you had an affair again, which was witnessed by Zhou's wife."
"You should be thrown into the pig cage, but we are showing you mercy by expelling you from the clan."
"Let's go to the county government office and ask the county magistrate whether we should expel you from the clan."
Lu Qingrong thought that he could threaten them by reporting to the police?
How naive! The clan's affairs cannot be intervened by the county magistrate or even the high-ranking officials from the capital.
I don't want to take this to the county government because this kind of thing will also have a bad impact on the reputation of the clan.
Do you really think they dare not?
(There will be another chapter in about an hour. I will finish writing the story of adoption today.)
