Chapter 155: Shocked by the News
Then Lu Shao and Qiao Ye acted separately.
Over the years, Mr. and Mrs. Lu have been worried about not being able to have a son.
Especially since Mrs. Lu injured her body the last time she gave birth to her little daughter, she may never be able to get pregnant again.
The two of them became the least talkative couple at home, and were always afraid of being looked down upon when they went out.
Without a son, there will be no one to carry on their legacy and to break the pot for them after they die.
They had previously discussed the idea of adopting a son.
Lu Laosan even tried to sound out his brothers, expressing his intention to adopt one of their sons.
But the brothers pretended not to hear and no one responded, obviously not wanting to adopt their sons to him.
In fact, it is understandable. After all, if he were in his place, he would be reluctant to give his son to adoption.
So he discussed with his wife that if she still had no pregnancy after a few years, they would adopt a son from the Lu family's relatives.
Some families have many sons and it is difficult to raise them all, so they will agree to adopt a son because it will make life easier for them.
Lu Laosan never expected that Wulang would come and say that he wanted to adopt him as their son.
He rubbed his hands and said, "I definitely want you to be my son, but I'm afraid your father won't agree."
The couple always felt that the fifth child had something wrong with his brain.
He doesn't cherish such a good son, but instead favors a bastard. He doesn't know how to appreciate the blessings he has.
But they really couldn't imagine that Wulang could become their son.
He also knew that Lao Wu had a strong personality.
Although he didn't like this son, there was no way he could adopt him to his elder brother whom he looked down upon.
Firstly, it would be inconvenient to use filial piety to control Wulang, his own son.
Secondly, he was also afraid of affecting his reputation and being scolded by the clan leader and elders.
Lu Shao smiled and said, "I have a way to make him agree. It all depends on whether Third Uncle wants to adopt me."
When Lu Laosan heard this, he knew that Wu Lang had already made arrangements.
An excited smile appeared on his honest face. "If it can be done, of course I am willing to do it."
I couldn't help but emphasize, "If you can really be adopted as my son, I will definitely treat you as my own son."
"And I'll listen to you no matter what you want to do."
If he could adopt Wulang as his son, he would not be afraid of offending Old Five.
What's more, he now has a lot of complaints about Lao Wu.
Lu Shao smiled and said, "When we become a family in the future, I will respect you as my own father."
He did not ask for fatherly love, and now it was past the time when he needed it.
However, if the adoption is successful, as long as Lu Lao San does not make trouble or hold back, he will be a loving and filial son to the other party.
No matter what, he is better than his biological father.
"Uncle San, after dinner I will tell you something very important about my father and our family."
"This incident will cause the whole family to be dissatisfied with my father."
"Plus, my father and stepmother teamed up with Yu Laoliu to instigate and stir up trouble for the Qiao family."
"I'll say something like I'm disappointed in my dad."
"When the time comes, please take the initiative to propose that you can adopt me as your son."
This matter should be raised by the elders.
Lu Lao San smiled and said, "No problem, I'll bring it up when the time comes."
He also emphasized, "If your father wants to blame you, I will also bear the responsibility. I am his brother, and I am not afraid of him."
As long as he succeeds, Wulang will be his son in the future.
What does it matter if I offend that selfish brother for the sake of my own son?
Lu Shao nodded, "Thank you very much, Uncle San."
He stood up and said, "I'm leaving first. We'll see what happens tonight."
Lu Lao San also stood up and sent him to the door, "Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem on my side."
After Lu Shao left, Lu Laosan couldn't sit still and paced back and forth in the room.
Mrs. Lu walked in with her three daughters and saw him walking around with excitement on his face.
I couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Laosan immediately told Lu Shao what he had discussed with him, "Wulang wants to be adopted by my husband and me as our son. You won't object, right?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu was so excited that her eyes turned red and she said, "How could I object?"
"I would certainly rather adopt Goro than adopt a child from a family member or outsider."
"Wulang is such a good kid, and he's also very talented. He was held back by his father before."
"We can adopt him as our son. It is a blessing that we have accumulated over many lifetimes."
She added: "If he could be our son, we must not hold him back."
"I get along well with Wulang's wife, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will definitely be harmonious in the future."
She likes Wulang's wife from the bottom of her heart.
If I could become her daughter-in-law in the future, I would be happy just thinking about it.
The three sisters also said, "We also want our fifth cousin to be our brother."
There is no male heir in their family, and my parents have always been ashamed.
Of course, they would rather adopt their fifth cousin than have their parents adopt a child from outside.
I would rather be the fifth cousin's sister-in-law and be their real sister-in-law.
Lu Shao and Lu Lao San reached an agreement, and Qiao Ye also talked to several aunts.
Several people were now completely disgusted with the fifth couple, so they immediately agreed.
He also promised that he would publicize the matter in the next two days to the point where even people from other villages would know about it.
The two young couples did not go back to their room to meet each other, but went directly to the main hall to eat.
Now the Lu family’s lunch and dinner are both delicious. Every meal has meat, several dishes, and white rice.
Old Mrs. Lu did not distribute the food anymore. Men and women each sat at a table and ate from their own food.
After getting used to such meals, the people in the Lu family were no longer like they did at the beginning, often unable to resist rushing to grab the dishes.
They cherish such days and don't want anyone to ruin them.
So, I still feel unhappy about the Qiao family wanting to take Qiao Ye away today.
After dinner, each room will go their separate ways as usual.
Today, Lu Shao looked at Old Lady Lu with a conflicted and complicated expression.
"Grandma, I was working with the county magistrate recently and accidentally discovered something important about my father."
“I don’t know whether I should tell you or not.”
This tactic of retreating to advance successfully aroused the curiosity of the old lady and several people in the family.
The old lady smiled lovingly and said, "We are a family, there is nothing wrong with talking about it."
Lu Shao was still hesitant, "But I'm afraid if I tell it, my father will blame me and even kick me out of the house."
Old Mrs. Lu's heart skipped a beat. What had Old Five done to make Wu Lang so hesitant and worried?
The more this happened, the more she wanted to know, "Don't worry, just tell me. I'm the head of the family. It's not your father's turn to kick you out of the house."
"If your father did something bad, you have to tell us so that we all know and we can be prepared."
She added: "If he does anything wrong again, I can stop him in time."
Only then did Lu Shao seem to have made up his mind.
He took a deep breath and said, "In my heart, grandma is the head of the family. She is the closest and most respected elder to my wife and I, and she still loves us so much."
"So I feel that even though my father tried his best to conceal this matter, I should let you know."
"Even if my father blames me and wants to beat me and drive me away, I won't regret it."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she felt very relieved and looked at him with even more loving eyes.
Wulang is now his favorite grandson.
Lu Shao discovered that the old lady really liked hearing these words.
Then he said, "Grandma, I just realized that my father has more than just the yard he lives in and the shop he rents out."
"He has several shops in the county town, and he also has a farm in a village not far from the county town."
When these words came out, Mrs. Lu and everyone in the Lu family were all stunned.
Old Mrs. Lu was stunned by the news and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
She couldn't help but look at Lu Shao and asked in disbelief: "Are you telling the truth?"
