Chapter 413 "Your mother is a Han woman, so you are a Han person!"
(Thanks to VEMY for casting a monthly vote.)
The two people who were speaking at the same time looked at each other with some surprise.
Li Shiyue was surprised that Gu Lanzhi was going to take Wuji away for such a small matter.
What surprised Gu Lanzhi was Li Shiyue's statement that he was surnamed Li!
Wu Jita stared blankly at Li Shiyue, unable to believe what Li Shiyue had just said to him and his mother.
"Madam Gu, would you be willing to let Wuji take my surname, Li?"
Li Shiyue stood up and walked over. She pulled Gu Lanzhi to sit down beside her. "They were in the wrong first. They provoked us first."
However, it's true that Uji did use force.
So, let Laixi and Laifu apologize to you first, and promise that they will not insult others at will in the future.
Then, you can compensate Laixilaifu for the cost of the medicine.
These are all minor matters.
What I'm trying to say is, if Madam Gu has no intention of marrying and doesn't want Wuji to take your surname, then why not let him take my surname, Li?
"Surname Li?"
Li Shiyue nodded and gestured for Uji, who was still standing to the side, to sit down. "Didn't they call Uji a fatherless child?"
Whether someone has a father or not is not important to me, Li Shiyue. I, Li Shiyue, recognize the maternal line.
"Madam Gu, Wu Ji is your child, that's enough."
Li Shiyue's words left Gu Lanzhi completely bewildered; she had never known that a child could recognize the mother but not the father.
"Haha, my Li Shiyue's Li Cong is the same Li as my mother's Li."
Since this world always needs people to have a place to come from, then I'll give Uji a place to come from.
I consider him a member of my Li clan.
"Mrs. Gu, you haven't been in the village long, you probably don't know anything about my family affairs..."
In just a few words, Li Shiyue recounted how she and Li Shiyang led the Li clan to flee famine and eventually settled here.
Then, she told Gu Lanzhi about the conflicts she had with Li Youfu and the Eighth Uncle Clan.
"...Therefore, when dealing with external parties, we still use the character 'Li'."
But actually, my Li is a separate artist.
This can be seen from the family genealogy when the ancestral hall is opened on the first day of the Lunar New Year each year.
My score is in a separate book; mine and theirs are not in the same one.
Li Shiyue grasped Gu Lanzhi's hand on the table, "So, if you and your son are willing, let Wuji take my surname, Li."
Once he's been added to the family genealogy, he'll be my cousin from now on.
Since you've taken the surname Li, it's only natural that you live in Lijiatun.
Madam Gu, my family is different from others. The children born to my elder sister all take the surname of my Li family.
What does it matter if one doesn't know their father, or even if their biological father is a foreigner?
If the child is yours, then they are your child.
Li Shiyue waved to Wuji, who was still standing, and Wuji walked up to Li Shiyue. "Wuji, as a son, you can't just stand by and watch people insult your mother."
You did hit Xilaifu, which was fine, but you were wrong to assault someone in public before you had the ability to take responsibility for your actions.
Li Shiyue's extremely wicked and unrighteous statement not only stunned Wuji, but also left Gu Lanzhi, who was standing to the side, speechless.
"Hey, what do you think I'm going to say?"
Haha, you guys don't think I'd say things like Jiang Huai, telling you you shouldn't have fought, do you?
Li Shiyue gestured to the stool, indicating that Wuji should sit down and listen to her.
Uji obediently sat down, and then Li Shiyue, with a smile on her face, continued to say to Gu Lanzhi and Uji, "Haha, Jiang Huai is a teacher, so naturally he should set an example for others."
However, those words he spoke were only meant for outsiders.
We're family, how can we take what he says to outsiders seriously?
To be honest, back then, Uncle Ba, oh, that's Lai Xilaifu's grandfather, once tried to bully our family.
In front of the whole village, he stretched out his hand, pointed at my mother's nose, and cursed her.
I chopped off his outstretched finger on the spot!
Upon hearing this, Gu Lanzhi suddenly remembered the old man she had seen in the Li family's courtyard yesterday, the one who had lost half a finger.
"Although I had not yet become an official at that time, I already held some status within the clan."
I dared to do that because I had something to rely on.
I know that even if I cut off his finger, they wouldn't dare do anything to me.
They're all afraid of me, afraid I'll go crazy and kill them all!
Ha ha. "
After laughing enough, Li Shiyue looked at the two of them again: "So, the reason I said that what Uji did wrong is that he has not yet reached the level I had back then, and he beat people in public. Doesn't that give them something to hold against him?"
Uji, if you had listened to Thirteen back then, and ambushed Lai Xi and Lai Fu on your way home from school, put a sack over their heads, and gave them a good beating, you might not be in this mess now.
Of course, this shouldn't be taken as definitive.
After all, those kinds of petty people are always looking for trouble.
Their pleasure in life comes from bullying others.
But now, you can still rely on me, right?
Li Shiyue winked at Gu Lanzhi and gently patted the back of Gu Lanzhi's hand.
Faced with Li Shiyue's suggestion that Wuji take the surname Li, Gu Lanzhi was in a state of confusion. She turned to look at Wuji sitting next to her.
She looked at Ujina's eyes, which were deeper and more prominent than those of Han Chinese, and his nose, and said, "This is my child."
"But I, I, I can't let Uji take my surname!"
If Father were still alive, he would be angry!
Uji's biological father is a barbarian!
He still has barbarian blood in his veins!
No, I can't let him have the surname Gu!
No! No way!
With these thoughts in mind, Gu Lanzhi raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then took Wuji's hand and looked at Li Shiyue, "General, is it really possible?"
"Can you really make Uji take your surname, Li? And put him in the Li family genealogy?"
Li Shiyue's expression turned serious. "Of course it's true!"
When would I, Li Shiyue, ever joke around on such an important matter?
I am different from others; most people in the world only recognize their father.
In my opinion, the mother who gave me life and raised me is the one I should acknowledge as my mother.
Uji, he is your child.
His mother is a Han Chinese woman, he can speak Chinese, and he can now write Chinese characters.
He ate with chopsticks, and he wore Han Chinese clothes and had his hair styled in a Han Chinese manner.
So, he is a Han Chinese!
Li Shiyue looked at Wuji and said, "Wuji, you must remember what I'm about to say!"
Your mother was a Han woman, so you are a Han person!
"If you and your son agree, I will arrange for someone to write Wuji into my Li family's genealogy."
This is a profit I made!
Madam Gu, you know how to raise horses. I heard from my mother that you take good care of those dozens of horses at the horse farm!
And Uji, I owe you and your son a debt of gratitude. If it weren't for you leading the way, I might not be able to become a general now.
Haha, I've come out ahead on this!
"From now on, I, I, I will be called Li Wuji!"
No one expected that the fight between Wuji and Laixilaifu would be handled in this way by Li Shiyue.
Lai Xi and Lai Fu were in the wrong first, and after apologizing to Gu Lanzhi and Wuji;
Gu Lanzhi took out ten taels of silver as compensation for Wuji's medical expenses and gave it to the youngest daughter-in-law of the Eighth Uncle Clan.
Then, Li Shiyue immediately announced that she wanted to recognize Wuji as her cousin.
Of course, as soon as Li Shiyue finished speaking, someone stood up to object.
Li Shiyue's response was: "Wuji's mother was a Han woman, and he also inherited blood from his mother's side."
I, Li Shiyue, only recognize maternal bloodlines. I don't care who Wuji's biological father is; that's not important to me.
As for my acknowledgment of him as my cousin and the fact that he is listed in the family genealogy starting with me, what does that have to do with you?
how?
"You dare to interfere with me?"
