"It's really not okay to have no son in the family!"

Old man Qiao was puffing on his cigarette, and in the smoke, his old face, which looked unapproachable, became a little blurry.

Of course he knew that what Qiao Tongsuo said was exaggerated and provocative.

However, Old Man Qiao also admitted that having a son gives him confidence.

Just like their family, his mother gave birth to four sons in one go, and when they quarreled, the old lady was always confident.

Because she has four tall and strong sons.

It's scary enough that her sons just stand behind her and do nothing.

In the city, it doesn't seem as obvious as in the countryside.

But there is still a difference between having a son and not having a son.

Just like the old man Fang Yaozhong in their front yard, who has two daughters, he still prefers to take apprentices.

Before Qiao Jianguo died, he was an apprentice to Fang Yaozhong.

Qiao Jianguo is not Fang Yaozhong's most proud disciple. Fang Yaozhong treats him better than his own daughter.

What Fang Yaozhong was thinking, the astute old man Qiao knew it all—

Once a daughter gets married, she becomes an outsider. If an apprentice is well taught, he is almost like a biological son.

In the past, many master craftsmen relied on their disciples to support them in their retirement.

As for their ancestral skills, they would rather pass them on to apprentices than teach them to their daughters.

Old man Qiao is feudal and stubborn. He sticks to the old rules.

If your biological son dies and you still don’t have a grandson, then adopt one.

However, the daughter-in-law cannot be really kicked out of the house.

She has another one in her belly.

If it turns out to be a boy, then he would be his real grandson.

An adopted nephew is definitely not as good as a biological grandson.

But, what if it’s not?

Of course, you can also wait a few months, until Gu Xiaoni gives birth to the child, and then decide whether to adopt the child.

But the factory won’t wait for you that long.

The work matter has been delayed for half a month. The factory has been urging me to resolve it as soon as possible.

If there is no job as bait, why would his nephew rush to be his son?!

A cigarette was quickly finished.

Old Man Qiao coughed a few times and suddenly said, "Tongsuo, what do you think of Qiao Qiao's mother?"

Old man Qiao grew up in the old society.

His biological mother was a poor bannerman, and the bannermen had an old custom called "levirate marriage."

Qiao Tongsuo's eyes flickered.

Good old man Joe, he is so smart!

He wants to have the best of both worlds.

Adopt your nephew and then let him marry a daughter-in-law.

If the daughter-in-law gives birth to a grandson, everything in the Qiao family will definitely belong to this grandson in the future.

If his daughter-in-law cannot give birth to a grandson, she is Qiao Jianguo's original wife, and he must be thinking about her.

As a result, I will also pay special attention to Old Man Qiao and his parents-in-law.

Now that he has a "son", his daughter-in-law is more filial... Haha, as for Qiao Tongsuo, he is just a tool for doing work and continuing the family line.

but--

Qiao Tongsuo despised her in his heart, but Gu Xiaoni's pretty face and her curvy figure flashed through his mind.

In terms of age, Gu Xiaoni is only two years older than Qiao Tongsuo.

A twenty-two-year-old woman is at her most beautiful.

Getting married and having children gave her the charm of a mature woman.

Like a ripe peach, sweet and juicy.

Marrying Gu Xiaoni is not a loss at all!

In just a few tens of seconds, Qiao Tongsuo's mind had already turned several circles.

Then, he nodded respectfully, "Sister-in-law is fine!"

Qiao Tongsuo is very careful about his behavior.

He neither showed resistance nor any desire for Gu Xiaoni.

Qiao Tongsuo knew very well that Old Man Qiao could let him marry his widowed sister-in-law, but he could not reveal his feelings for her.

This person is the wife of Old Man Qiao’s only son.

How could Old Man Qiao be happy that his adopted nephew was thinking about his daughter-in-law?!

Sure enough, when he saw Qiao Tongsuo's honest and obedient appearance, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Old Man Qiao's eyes.

He was secretly proud:

My silly wife is just too stupid!

I also want Gu Xiaoni to take over.

What does she know!

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

We can't just rely on one person for this matter.

When Old Man Qiao came up with the idea of ​​"adoption", he was planning to find an unmarried nephew and have him marry Gu Xiaoni.

These two people are not his biological children, but since they are not the original husband and wife, they will develop their own little thoughts.

It would be even better if Gu Xiaoni gave birth to a son.

Even if it's just another girl, Old Man Qiao is not afraid.

He just sat there high up, acting as a check and balance between the young couple.

If the couple doesn't agree on the same thing, how can they plot against others?!

In this life, I can only let him control me!

Tongsuo is a good kid, smart and capable!

However, no matter how clever the kid is, he can't beat this old fox.

…

In the evening, Gu Qingcheng brought Qiao Qiao back to the slum.

As soon as he entered the yard, Gu Qingcheng met his neighbors who were chatting in the yard after dinner.

When they saw Gu Qingcheng come in, they all turned around.

Gu Qingcheng: ...

There was something strange in the looks of these people.

Some people were looking at him, some were sighing, and some were looking at him with disdain.

Gu Qingcheng thought to herself: Could it be that after I left, Ma family did something weird again?

"Xiao Ni, you're back!"

It was Widow Liu who spoke first.

Even though she lives in the backyard, she is particularly passionate about gossip.
