After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 185 The Worried Elder

Chen Xingyan was afraid that Lu Daxiong would be distracted outside, so he didn't mention housework too much. He only said that everything was fine at home, and that he had properly settled Chen Youchang and his son. needs.

After eating and drinking, the monkey came out again and saw those medicine bottles, its eyes lit up.

"Sister-in-law, it turns out that you prepared these medicines! At that time, a brother was about to die, so he used the medicines brought out by the boss. Unexpectedly, after going up the mountain, he said that although the injuries were serious, he had to save one Life is okay."

The monkey scratched his head and said, "Sister-in-law, did you bring these to the boss?"

"Well, my elder brother entrusted someone to get this medicine from the capital, and there are not many of them. He also thought that this bowl of rice would be eaten by Daxiong, and it would be good to have a wound medicine on hand. It is to use all these good things.”

Only then did Houzi realize that the sister-in-law's elder brother is in the capital, and he is also a master, with a bright future!

Knowing that she is also a person with a background, the monkey didn't think much about it, and naturally believed her explanation.

"Remember to hand over the things to Daxiong, and remind him that there is not much of this medicine left, so use it sparingly."

Chen Xingyan said this on purpose to avoid drawing attention to the medicines.

Lu Daxiong knew how these medicines came from, and also knew that Chen Xingyan added some unspeakable things in them, and he should also understand why Chen Xingyan asked the monkey to say such things.

Because an injured poor man was sent back, the news that the officers and soldiers were not going well in suppressing the bandits spread quickly.

The people in Qingshui Town also heard about it, and naturally they began to worry about whether the inspector Lu in their town would be able to return safely.

Some people actually asked Chen Xingyan directly, and they didn't know how this person's brain grew.

Chen Xiaofang cared about her own son, so she came here to ask a few questions, which made sense.

But Lu Xiaozhu's daughter-in-law also ran over to ask, which seemed a bit troublesome.

Chen Xingyan didn't give her a good face either. This kind of person is not abusive!

Although Lu Daxiong didn't come back, the affairs of the ancestral hall have never been delayed, and when it comes to the May Festival, they still have to go back to the ancestors. If they can be built early, then when the ancestors are worshipped, The whole clan can be even more proud. After all, there are not many clans with such a grand ancestral hall in eight villages.

According to the rules in Gaoyang County, women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall except for such important events as ancestor worship.

And some women made mistakes and were fined to kneel in the ancestral hall, and they would all be arranged to be with the female ancestors.

The previous Lu's ancestral hall was relatively poor and small, so the memorial tablets of the female ancestors were crowded in the corner, which looked pitiful.

This time the ancestral hall was rebuilt, and the ground was purposely made larger. Naturally, these rules must be followed by the big families.

The main ancestral hall in the middle is dedicated to male ancestors, while the house on the west side is slightly shorter and occupies a significantly smaller area, and is dedicated to enshrining female ancestors.

There is a wall in the middle, but there is also a door. If a woman is punished, it is better to be shut in the room to reflect on the tablets of the ancestors, and of course to chant scriptures and kowtow.

And if it is worse, they will be punished to kneel in the yard directly, freezing in winter, sunbathing in summer, and suffering from rain!

So, even though they are all punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, the severity is quite different.

Because the ancestral hall is separated, there are primary and secondary, so the village head and several clan elders also discussed that when the ancestors are worshipped in the future, the female relatives should also accompany them, so that the separation of men and women will not appear chaotic, and it will also make people feel happy. Female ancestors get better offerings.

Of course, according to the rules here, no matter whether a daughter is married or not, she is not allowed to enter the ancestral hall to worship her ancestors.

If they made a mistake, they would be fined to kneel in the ancestral hall to reflect, but they are not qualified to participate in such a major event as ancestor worship.

That's how patriarchal it is!
After Chen Xingyan heard her mother-in-law Wang's talk about the rules of the ancestral hall, she was a little speechless again.

She also knew that her mother-in-law suddenly told her this, on the one hand, it was because the ancestral hall was under construction, on the other hand, it was the birth.

"Big Xiong's daughter-in-law, you are a good person. You are as filial and courteous as Big Bear. Your father and I are also grateful that you are willing to marry Big Bear."

After Wang finished speaking, she put down the needle and thread in her hand, and said with a sad face: "It's just that you also know that the big bear was adopted by us, and you thought that the calf would not survive, and there will be no one to die in the future. Now that Maverick's body is healed, we old couple can see hope, and we don't want to let Big Bear and you feel wronged."

Chen Xingyan frowned: I won't be wronged if you don't give birth.

"This is the way of the world. It's not easy for us women. When we get married, we have to give birth to a baby. The first child is good regardless of whether it is a man or a woman. But if you can't give birth to a son, you will inevitably be criticized. Now you and Daxiong have set a record With such a large family business, if you give birth to a child early, your father and I can feel at ease early."

When Chen Xingyan heard this, he finally felt that something was wrong.

"Mother, you and dad are in good health now, and the good days are yet to come."

But Mrs. Wang shook her head and said: "You guys created this business by yourself. Your father and I didn't help much, and it's all worth it. If you have a son under your knees, then we can take care of the calf. Give it away, even though they are brothers, they didn't come out of the same mother's belly after all, and I don't want their brothers to turn against each other in the future."

It has to be said that Wang Shi and Lu Laohan both have rational minds.

When you are poor, you will be satisfied if you can fill your stomach.

But now that he has money, he naturally wants more things.

Da Xiong and his wife not only helped Maverick to heal his disease, but also paid for him to study. Even brothers, they may not have such a good heart.

It's okay now, Maverick is young and doesn't have so many other thoughts, but who knows if he will be affected by the pillow wind after marrying a wife in the future?

Therefore, Mrs. Wang and Lu Laohan thought together that after Lu Xiaoniu got married, they had to divide the family quickly.

At this time, the old couple were extremely fortunate that the family's property was all in the name of Lu Daxiong, otherwise, they might not be able to explain clearly in the future.

It was also the first time Chen Xingyan realized that her mother-in-law did not simply want to hold a grandson when she gave birth.

They were worried that Lu Daxiong would have no successors, and at the same time, they were also worried that the two brothers would turn against each other because of their family property in the future, so they hoped that Chen Xingyan would give birth to a son early, which would allow them to separate their families with peace of mind.
