The Imperial Examination Blessed Wife in the Palm

Chapter 113
Li Che's back had disappeared into the darkness for a long time, but Lu Weiwei still stood there in a daze, not knowing what it was like.

There was still a gust of cool wind blowing, she shivered subconsciously, and realized that it was really late, and she should be worried if she didn't go back to Mrs Li, so Fang Wusheng sighed silently, and went back home.

Sure enough, Mrs. Li had been waiting a little anxiously, and when she saw her come back, she hurriedly said: "What are you talking to Ah Che, you only come back after taking so long. Your third uncle is so ill, the sky in their house is about to collapse, You shouldn't have stayed so long, it's useless to bother others."

Lu Weiwei said: "Cousin Che and I were talking outside, and after not saying a few words, Cousin Che went back first. I was too preoccupied with things, so I delayed until now. Mother should Go to bed first, right at the door of the house, what else can happen?"

Li said: "I can't sleep so early. Shall I get you some water to wash?"

"I'll go by myself later." Lu Weiwei waved her hand, "Mother, what kind of person is that uncle Cheng Lin, and where is his wife? When I came home in the afternoon, I met him. He really deserves to be a scholar. It’s different from other people. He also said that his house has a lot of books, and let me read them when I have time.”

Mrs. Li thought for a while and said with a smile: "He is several years older than your uncle. As far as I can remember, he has been studying in the county, and then went to Fucheng to continue his studies. It is said that we are all brothers and sisters, but in fact it has been so many years I haven't seen him a few times since I came down, so I really can't tell you what kind of person he is. But when it comes to him in the clan, they seldom say anything bad about him."

"His wife is also thoughtful and good-natured. When she comes back occasionally, she will never forget to prepare gifts for the elders in the clan; when she sees us sisters-in-law and aunts, she doesn't smile or open her mouth. She doesn't seem like a big lady. No. It's a pity that fate is bad. The only son is still young...the last time I saw her skinny and skinny, I still can't bear it now when I think about it. If you have time later, you can go to their house and sit. "

Lu Weiwei pondered, "So the couple are good-natured people? Then Cousin Che won't be wronged when he went to their house, right?"

The following words were almost talking to herself, but Li couldn't hear clearly, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Wei, what did you say, how did you mention Ah Che?"

Lu Weiwei thought that this matter would spread in the clan sooner or later, so she didn't hide it from Mrs. Li, said it roughly, and finally sighed: "I see that Cousin Che is so sad, but there is no other way besides this road. There is a way to go. Sister Axiu is also, her eyes are red and swollen... Aunt Gensan only feels more pain in her heart?"

Mrs. Li was surprised and said: "There is also this matter. I have never heard of it before. Besides, you have become Uncle Lin's son for less than a hundred days. Why are you going to adopt him? As for the rush? Let's talk about it after one year, but tell me now, I don't want you to be Aunt Lin's life!"

Lu Weiwei smiled wryly and said, "I told Cousin Che the same way. As expected, mothers understand mother's heart best. But Uncle Cheng Lin said that as long as Cousin Che and Uncle Gensan agree, nothing else is necessary." Don't worry, he will take care of it himself. That's why I asked you what kind of people the couple are. What if Aunt Cheng Lin doesn't want it at all, how sad will life be with Cousin Che in the middle of it? "

Mrs. Li sighed: "No matter how gentle and gentle a woman is, once she becomes a mother, once her own children are involved, she will change her appearance drastically. You had better discuss it with his wife before becoming Uncle Lin, otherwise there will definitely be troubles. Her natal family can be counted among the people in the county, and they will definitely not stand by and watch."

Lu Weiwei frowned again, "Then what exactly is he planning, trying to get along with the husband and wife, and rushing to adopt, just because of love?"

Li Shi said: "I heard that he opened a private school in Fucheng. Over the years, he has recruited many students and produced a few good seedlings. Ah Che is good at studying, he is hardworking, and everyone is a family. It’s normal for him to love talents. Otherwise, there are so many families with several sons in the clan, and there are quite a few people close to him, so why should he adopt Ah Che, who has produced five clothes?”

Lu Weiwei was silent for a moment before she said: "Actually speaking seriously, Cousin Yu Che must be beneficial, but, to put it bluntly, this matter is like a funeral, and there is probably no one involved. I'm really happy in my heart, anyway, I'm not feeling well."

The few of them went to school together, and after school together, the scene of laughing and playing, or discussing homework is still vivid in my memory, as if it was still yesterday, but who knows that everything has changed in the blink of an eye.

Because of the injury of her uncle, the cousin and her have been in a state of distress for a long time because of the unprecedented crisis in the shop. Cousin Che is facing the greatest difficulty and pain in his life so far.

Is it true that the simple and peaceful life in the past can no longer go back?
Mrs. Li said: "Don't talk about you, I didn't like it when I heard it. Your third aunt has only one son, Ah Che, who she has counted on all these years, but now she can only adopt him. I can no longer call Guangming Zheng a mother, if it were me, I would really die..."

Lu Weiwei hurriedly said: "Don't talk about it, mother, and don't think about it. Anyway, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Cousin Che is so old, so he will definitely take care of himself. Besides, Uncle Cheng Lin didn't say anything, no Will he stop cousin Che from visiting his family, and will he let his second son go home in the future? Actually, it’s not as bad as we thought. As long as cousin Che can get through this difficult time, I believe he will have a good life in the back."

Mrs. Li said in a low voice: "Who knows, some people are born with everything, but some people have been fighting against their fate all their lives, and have never had a good day in their lives. After all, how can people fight against God? You It's better not to see Ah Che these days, he looks like the kind of person who is more sad and doesn't want to see others, so don't sprinkle salt on his wounds, I will often visit your third aunt, Talk to her."

Originally, she was optimistic about Li Che as a son-in-law candidate, but now she can only give up her thoughts.

Being poor in the family is still secondary. After Ah Che is selected as a scholar, Xiaowei is also a smart earner, and the days can always get better.

But once Xiaowei passes through the door, she will have two layers of mother-in-laws on her head. She is neither close nor distant. Over time, even the relationship between husband and wife will be greatly affected. She is just a daughter like Xiaowei. , how can you not look forward to her well?
And in the future, the second son will have to return to the family. Doesn’t the mother and child have to be separated, let alone intervene in the child’s upbringing, take care of the child, and it will be difficult to even see the child?Isn't that the fate of being a mother? She doesn't want to separate her daughter from her grandson. She would rather die than watch such a thing happen!
So in the future, we should try our best to let Xiao Wei see Ah Che less, but fortunately, it is just wishful thinking of Ah Che now, and there are so many things, I am afraid that he will not be able to think about the future, as time goes by, his thoughts will naturally fade.

Lu Weiwei didn't know that Li Shi had thought so much in the blink of an eye. She and Li Shi were thinking differently, but Li Che was indeed the kind of person who became more silent and reluctant to see people the more sad he was. I didn't think much about it.

He just said: "Mother, go and comfort Aunt Gen San more these days. I go out early and come back late every day, so I really don't have much time to see Cousin Che. Well, it's getting late, let's go to bed."

Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "Then I'll fetch water for you. You have to get up early to go to school tomorrow. Don't think about these things too much. Things that seem extremely difficult right now will look back in three or five years. I don't think it's a big deal, when your father first left, I really felt like the sky was falling, but haven't you come here all these years?"

When Lu Weiwei first came here, she felt that the sky was falling, she nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother, I understand it in my heart. Go get me some water, I'll change my clothes first."

Mrs. Li responded and went, and when she came back with hot water, both mother and son had washed up, they went back to their rooms, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

In the next few days, Lu Weiwei went out early and returned late every day. She was busy at two o'clock and one line in the school store, and Xie Lingzhao accompanied her to and from school. Che.

But with Li's presence, she can still know the progress of Li Chenglin's adoption of Li Che in the first place.

Li Chenglin did as he said, as long as Li Che and his mother agreed to adopt him, it was enough for him to handle the rest.

I don't know how he told his uncles, brothers, family and clan, or maybe there is some benefit in going out, but after all, he really got it done within a few days.

Afterwards, an adoption ceremony was held in the Li family's ancestral hall. Li Che kowtowed to Li Chenglin and his wife in public, offered tea, and called them father and mother; The name was erased from his own father's room and changed to Li Chenglin's.

As a person with a foreign surname, Lu Weiwei is of course not qualified to enter the Li's ancestral hall to witness these things, and she really can't take care of it, because the government servants Xie Lingzhao asked to go to Mengshan to find people have returned.

It's a pity that what they brought back was really bad news, Zhao Qiang and Lei Wang were gone, when they were found, even their corpses were rotten, and they couldn't be brought back to Tianquan in the hot weather.

Fortunately, those yamen servants took Xie Lingzhao's huge sum of money, thinking that they would definitely get another benefit when they came back, so they buried the two of them on the spot; they also remembered the place clearly, so that the two families can go to people to worship and even Move the grave, otherwise the relatives of the two families will be more painful and unacceptable.

Even so, Li Ji’s family still paid 80 taels of silver, and the total is 160 taels. Yu was already precarious, and Li Ji, who was struggling to support him, made things worse. I don’t know if he can last until Li Chang comes back from Fucheng. up.

Lu Weiwei felt physically and mentally exhausted for a moment, and she had lost a lot of weight without knowing it.
