Chapter 91: Digging a hole for the heroine
"No!" Lin Dahe finally spoke up after hearing this, "Village Chief, we only have this one son. If he's gone, what are we going to do in the future?"
"Shut up!" The village chief saw that Lin Dahe was still trying to argue, and shouted, "If you want your whole family to go to jail together, then keep opposing it!"
Lin Dahe was speechless and couldn't say a word, but it was obvious from his expression that he was still unconvinced.
"Uncle, this is a new society and a new era. Boys and girls should be treated the same in our eyes. Who says only sons can take care of you in your old age?"
Lin Yuxi looked at Lin Dahe, her eyes full of determination and sincerity, and said, "Look at our family. When my brother was not found, wasn't it just me, a girl, who supported us? My parents never said anything and even planned to find a live-in son-in-law for me!"
"Think about it, whether it's a son or a son-in-law, don't they both earn money outside? Is there any difference?"
"But whether it's the daughter or the daughter-in-law who takes care of the elderly at home, there's a huge difference. Don't you want someone to take care of you wholeheartedly in your old age without complaining about your dirtiness?"
After hearing this, Lin Dahe and Liu Mei looked at each other, their faces full of thoughtfulness, and it was obvious that they were moved. Why did they do so much? Wasn't it because they didn't want to end up in a miserable old age?
If they really wanted to recruit a live-in son-in-law, let him go out to earn money, and let their daughter stay at home to take care of them, this would seem to be a good idea, right?
Seeing the expressions of the two men, Lin Qifeng suddenly became anxious. How could this be allowed? Being tied up in this poor mountain village for the rest of her life, it would be better for her to die.
He quickly retorted, "What's your idea? Which good man is willing to be a live-in son-in-law these days? If he really finds an ugly one, won't we all serve him? Are you trying to recruit an ancestor?"
The person who just thought that the idea was a good one changed his mind again after hearing these words!
This... seems to be true?
"Of course there are none. Do you think there are not many orphans without parents these days? As long as they can be given a home, there is nothing they would not want to do!"
"If you're not satisfied with this, you can also look for families with too many brothers to count. Families like that won't mind if they have one more or one less son! You can also recruit one more from your mother's family to help you!"
Lin Yuxi gave them two more ideas with good reason. Seeing Lin Qifeng's annoyed expression, she felt secretly happy. Haha, if you fight with me, I won't kill you!
"This sister is so reluctant, not satisfied with this and that, could it be that she has no intention of providing for our parents in their old age?"
Lin Qifeng didn't expect that this little girl was so powerful. She blocked her escape route with every word she said. She was furious, but seeing her parents' suspicious eyes, she dared not make trouble anymore!
"This little girl is amazing! She speaks in an orderly manner, and she is capable of doing great things!" Mrs. Fang looked at the graceful Lin Yuxi with admiration in her eyes. She liked such straightforward girls. It was a pity that the fool at home found her a wife who only knew how to cry. It was not pleasant to look at her.
"That's a great idea. If we really follow what this little girl said, then the old couple Lin Dahe will have a happy old age!"
"That's right, I'm really moved by what you said!"
"Don't you have a son?"
"I want my son to be a live-in son-in-law to save some money on the betrothal gift, is that not possible?"
We all live behind closed doors anyway, so every penny saved is a penny earned!
……
Seeing that Lin Dahe and others were no longer trying to stop them, the village chief immediately had someone write the document and had several people sign it.
Seeing that Lin Dahe, Liu Mei, and even Lin Qifeng had signed on it and didn't cause any trouble, Lin Yuxi finally felt relieved.
You have to know that in the original plot, Lin Jianye had to pay a heavy price to achieve his goal in order to take Lin Tiezhu and Lin Yuxi away. Now it couldn't be better if he could solve the problem without bloodshed.
After getting the certificate issued by the village, several people immediately rode back on their bikes without even asking Lin Tiezhu to go back to pack up his things. They just asked, "We don't need the junk and can only buy new ones."
Looking at my son’s condition, I know there is nothing worth cleaning up at home!
A few tattered clothes? Or a cotton jacket that couldn't be any thinner? Or a heavy and dull quilt?
……
They rode until dark before finally reaching home. Tired and hungry, they simply ate a meal and rested. Early the next morning, Lin Jianye took Lin Tiezhu to the department store to buy some new clothes and some daily necessities. Then he took Lin Tiezhu, who had just changed clothes, to register his household registration, handle food relations, etc.!
When filling in the name, Lin Tiezhu paused and asked his father who was waiting beside him, "Dad, do you think I should change my name?"
Lin Jianye looked at his son in front of him, his eyes full of love and expectation. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Tiezhu, in fact, the meaning behind this name is much deeper than you think. When your mother was pregnant with you, our family life was not easy, but I always believe that as long as you work hard, there will always be a rainbow after the rain. So, I named you Yuze."
“Yuze, the blessing after the rain. I hope your life, like the land after the wind and rain, can receive the blessing of heaven and thrive. No matter how many difficulties and setbacks you encounter in the future, you can absorb nutrients and welcome a new life like the land after the rain.”
Lin Jianye paused, then smiled and said, "As for your sister's name, Yuxi, it means that I hope her life can be like a clear stream. No matter how many twists and turns she goes through, she can maintain her innocence and clarity and move forward courageously."
After saying that, Lin Jianye looked at Lin Tiezhu, his eyes full of expectation: "Tiezhu, Dad knows that you have suffered a lot outside, but you must believe that every difficulty is an opportunity for growth. Are you willing to use this name as the beginning of your new life, and take Dad's blessing to welcome the rain that belongs to you?"
Lin Tiezhu felt warm as he listened to his father's words. He nodded and said firmly, "Dad, I do. From today on, my name is Lin Yuze."
……
After completing the formalities, Lin Yuze returned home with his father. When the family gathered for dinner in the evening, Lin Jianye officially announced Lin Yuze's new name and explained the meaning behind the name.
Lin Yuxi was relieved to see her brother, whose spirit and energy were obviously different. She raised a glass of water and said, "Brother, welcome home!"
Lin Jianye and his wife also picked up the water cups in front of them and said together, "Aze, welcome home!"
Lin Yuze was moved, and he also picked up the water cup and clinked it with the others, "Thank you, sister, thank you, mom and dad!"
"Come, eat some food! Ah Ze, try this, the braised pork made by my mom. This is my specialty!"
"Brother, try this fish, I cooked it well!"
Lin Yuze looked at the rapidly increasing amount of food in the bowl. Just as he was about to start eating, he noticed another piece of fried crispy pork in the bowl. He looked in the direction where the chopsticks had moved away. It was his father!
So this braised pork dish is dad’s specialty?
He picked it up and took a big bite, then his eyes lit up and he said, "Delicious!" Seeing his father laughing happily, he also smiled widely unconsciously, and continued to taste the remaining dishes, praising them a few times, making everyone laugh. Only then did the family start to eat peacefully.
