Chapter 18 Adoption of Xiaoqingyu

Clan Chief Lin said, "This child is suffering. When he was two years old, his father went to the sea to fish and was bitten to death by a shark, and his mother died in love. Hey, now he is living with his grandparents and uncles."

But it was clear that her grandparents and uncles treated her poorly. When Lin Wanwan first met her, she was bare but covered in a rag that was too dirty to see, skinny and skinny.The flesh on her body is still from her conditioning in the past two weeks.

Although Big Ya and Little Crab are also thin, at least they are still clean.And Xiao Qingyu was dirty from head to toe at the beginning, like a little refugee on TV in later generations.

In fact, if it hadn't been for the fact that the patriarch Lin did not allow Lin Jiazhuang to sell a daughter, she would have been sold by her uncle long ago.Unfortunately, in the end, he did not escape the death of his aunt.

In fact, Patriarch Lin also knew that the baby must have been thrown away.After this happened, he punished the youngest sons of the wealthy family to kneel at the ancestral hall overnight, and warned them that if they were later found by the clan to be sold into unclean places, they would be expelled from the clan.

Lin Guofu's youngest daughter-in-law, Lin Sun, naturally swore that she would never sell her children, and that selling her children would make her die.

Now that the child has been picked up and adopted by Lin Wanwan of their own clan, this is really a destiny.This should be their Lin Family Village's baby, and it can't be thrown away anywhere.

Lin Wanwan looked at the patriarch: "Uncle, can I support her?"

Hearing what Lin Wanwan said, Patriarch Lin couldn't help hesitating and said, "Wan, you're probably having a child and it might affect you. You're not too young..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but Lin Wanwan understood after thinking about it. With her 22-year-old appearance, in the Tang Dynasty, she should have gotten married and had children long ago!

Without thinking about it for too long, Lin Wanwan made up a panic: "Master once helped me book a marriage, but because of the war, my fiancé died in the war, and I have decided not to marry again! Originally I planned to become a daughter. Crown's, now that I have found my clan, I just want to stay here forever."

The Tang Dynasty was a place where concubines were allowed, and she really never thought about getting married and having children here.In fact, in 2022, she's all unmarried.

Hearing what she said, Patriarch Lin was surprised for a while.

The Tang Dynasty was not like the later Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the early days of the Zhenguan Dynasty, the population problem was very serious.After experiencing the wars of the previous dynasty, the population has dropped directly from more than 1000 million households to less than 300 million households today.

Of course, not all of these people were killed in wars. Many escaped into the mountains to become mountain villagers, and some escaped to Turkic and other places without being registered.

In order to promote the prosperity of the population, the imperial court, on the one hand, redeemed the outflowing population and provided households to the mountain people; on the other hand, it naturally encouraged marriage and childbirth, and advocated early marriage and early childbearing.

Older young men and women who do not marry over their age will also be fined, and there will even be "official media" to act as matchmakers to promote marriage.He also actively supports the widow's remarriage. The chastity archway and the three cardinal guides and five permanent members are not worth mentioning in front of the population.

In the third year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong issued an edict: Anyone who gave birth to a boy since the first lunar month of that year will be rewarded with a stone millet.

If you want to keep watch over the widow, the official should advise you to marry, after all, it affects their political performance.

But Lin Wanwan just arrived, and she was an expert who lived in seclusion from the mountain. Patriarch Lin didn't say much, and finally nodded: "If that's the case, then it's no problem. Come, I'll take you to the wealthy family of the country and tell them about it. You are willing to support it. This baby, it's too late for them to be happy."

"The patriarch's uncle, please wait for me, until I carry Xiao Yu'er and cross the bright road."

Going back and hugging Xiao Qingyu, the little guy put his head on Lin Wanwan's shoulder, knowing that he was going to go back to his grandparents' house, he was very scared, and even lost the energy of being the king of children before.

Sure enough, Lin Wanwan and the patriarch went to Lin Guofu's house, which lived in the innermost part of the village, near the foot of the mountain.

The little guy is under seven years old, and he hasn't been on the family tree at all. It's too easy to change someone to raise him.

Lin Wanwan looked at the environment of Lin Guofu's family. There were several desolate seaweed stone houses, and the yard was full of potholes.There were also a few girls hiding behind the door looking at Lin Wanwan and Xiao Qingyu in her arms.

Lin Wanwan glanced over, and the three girls were naked.The eldest girl, looking at it, is afraid that she is not all ten years old.

The two boys who were squatting in the yard were playing with the soil, but they were wearing clothes, and they were still good clothes with no patches at all.

Lin Wanwan frowned slightly, this family seems to be more patriarchal, no wonder Xiao Qingyu was tortured into skin and bones here.

She took out a small gold collar from her sleeve and said to the patriarch Lin: "Uncle patriarch, please help me to organize a clan wine, which is a formal ceremony of adopting Xiao Yu'er into my house. The remaining money for the banquet will be given to me. Uncle Guofu, think of it as the maintenance fee for Xiao Qingyu for so many years."

These days, if you sell a little girl, you can go to that kind of place for three or four times.The little gold collar that Lin Wanwan took out could be exchanged for six coins!

When Lin Guofu's family heard what Lin Wanwan said, their eyes suddenly lit up.The young daughter-in-law Lin Sun, who threw away Xiao Qingyu, laughed even more, and said nice things without money.

"Smelly... Little Yu'er should have a relationship with you, Wanniang. If you get lost, you will go to your place. Look at the fairy days now, wearing silk skirts and eating white rice. In the future, little Yu'er will be a blessing. Baby! This is really a little mouse that fell into the rice jar, and there is no end to happiness."

"Shut up, do you still have merit in losing your child?" Clan Chief Lin snorted coldly, he was very dissatisfied with this Lin Sun clan.

It's just that their Lin family village is poor, and the village has not married a bride for three consecutive years. This is because he has no way to lead the patriarch, and he feels ashamed and blames himself.Naturally, it's not good to force people to put their daughter-in-law off, so they endure it.

The patriarch Lin said angrily: "Xiao Yu'er is the responsibility of their family, and what kind of childcare should they give you? We, Linjiazhuang, make a living by fishing, the sea is dangerous, and there are families of men who are in distress. Which one? They didn't raise the family's wives and children. Even if they were all dead, they were raised by the clan! It's just that their family broke the rules and didn't separate them from clan, which is already good."

Lin Wanwan thought about it, too, why should she still give money to people like them?She is also angry!

But she didn't want to take back the money she took out. It was all exchanged for peppercorns. It was really too easy for her to make money, so she simply said generously: "In this case, the remaining money, I also asked the uncle of the patriarch to put it on the clan’s public account, which is my contribution to returning to the clan.”

Lin Wanwan wanted to contribute to the clan, and this patriarch Lin couldn't stop her.When you are developed, you must think about your family. This is a rule and custom that has been passed down from generation to generation. People should not forget their roots.Families and individuals are inherently both prosperous and damaged.
