Seeing that he was silent, Uncle Lu asked, "Third brother, speak."

Lu Hongjun came back to his senses and nodded, saying, "I didn't know about this custom before, but now that I know, I definitely can't give birth to a child here."

Tang Sufen wanted the eldest son's wife to give birth here so that she could take care of her during the confinement period. Lu Hongjun thought that having a child would be too noisy and didn't agree. But after Tang Sufen persuaded him for a while, she became less tight-lipped.

Uncle Lu felt that he was not too stupid, so he nodded and said, "At the beginning, you said you wanted to adopt a boy under your name. I wanted to adopt the third son Jiayao to you, but you and your sister-in-law chose Jiajie. Later, the plan did not work out, and your sister-in-law said that men and women are the same in the new society, so I did not mention it again."

After saying this, he dropped another bomb: "But now Jiaxin has gone to Hong Kong City and probably won't come back in the future. As your eldest brother, I can't let you be without anyone to visit your grave a hundred years from now. Third brother, except Lu Ping, I will agree to any grandson of our eldest house that you like."

Mrs. Lu was shocked. Why didn't they discuss such a big thing with them? But seeing that her husband and Mrs. Lu didn't say anything, she refrained from objecting.

This happened so suddenly that Lu Hongjun was shocked. However, seeing that Lu Jiaguang and Lu Ersao didn't say anything, he asked, "Brother, are you telling the truth?"

Uncle Lu said with a straight face, "Of course it's true. When have I ever lied? If you haven't made up your mind, just think about it slowly and tell me before I go back."

Second Sister-in-law Lu interrupted, "Father-in-law, Taozi and Lu Cheng are not suitable. They are both employed by the government. If they are adopted by Third Uncle... I am worried that it will affect their future."

Uncle Lu glared and said, "It was that woman who broke the law. Your uncle didn't do anything illegal, so what impact can it have? Third brother, you don't have to worry about them. I can still make the decision for this family."

Lu Hongjun's heart moved, and he looked at Lu Ersao and asked, "Jia Zong's wife, what you mean by this is that if I want to adopt Shanzi, you will not object?"

Mrs. Lu's eyes almost popped out of her head. She never thought that he would fall in love with Shanzi. However, the couple had discussed this matter before and thought that it was okay to adopt the eldest son, so they did not object.

Uncle Lu was a little surprised and asked, "Are you interested in Shanzi?"

Lu Hongjun nodded and said, "Shanzi is honest and can endure hardships, and his wife is skillful and hardworking. I just don't know if Jiazong and Shanzi are willing to do so?"

Uncle Lu thought he would choose Lu An or Lu Tao, after all, these two children were the smartest among his grandchildren, but he didn't expect that he would choose the loyal and honest Shanzi.

"Okay, let's go to Shanzi."

Lu Hongjun looked at Lu Ersao and asked, "Jia Zong's wife, what do you think?"

He felt that Lu Jiazong and Shanzi would not refuse, but Lu Ersao would object. This niece-in-law was too aggressive, and he would not be able to bear it if she disagreed and made trouble.

Mrs. Lu did not refuse, but she put forward a condition, that is, Lu Shan and his wife did not live under the same roof with Tang Sufen: "Uncle, if you are old and can't move, and they don't take care of you or don't take good care of you, Shanzi can take you home to take care of you."

Tang Sufen was almost mad with anger, as if she didn't exist.

Mrs. Lu immediately responded, "This house belongs to Jiaxin. If they want to leave, it should be the Huang family. There is no reason to take Uncle San away and give the house to them."

Tang Sufen's face turned green. She said, "I don't agree to adoption. Old Lu, they are talking about adoption now, obviously they want your money and house, you can't give in to them."

How could they spit out the meat they had eaten? Huang Jianjun and his wife were still living in the family building and were unwilling to move out. Second Sister-in-law Lu did not make a scene either. She was thinking about waiting for Uncle Lu and his men to come.

Uncle Lu acted like a patriarch and said sullenly, "You have no right to speak here. If you interrupt again, get out."

This time, Lu Hongjun did not go along with Tang Sufen and said, "Sufen, I don't want others to have their children and grandchildren pay homage to them a hundred years later, while my grave is overgrown with weeds and no one comes."

Lu Jiaxin can no longer be counted on. After Xiaoxia's grave is moved, she probably won't come back. If his nephews are busy, they may not go to visit the grave. But if Shanzi is adopted by him, he will be his family member. He will visit his grave during Qingming Festival and Zhongyuan Festival.

Tang Sufen had thought about letting her youngest son take Lu Hongjun's surname before. But the youngest son refused as soon as she opened her mouth, saying that he was from the Huang family and if he really wanted to change his surname, he should go back to his grandparents. The eldest son would never change his surname, but the second son was willing, but Lu Hongjun didn't like it.

Uncle Lu made the decision, "Choose an auspicious day and have Lu Shan kowtow to you. It will be done. When I return to my hometown, I will change the family tree."

Lu Hongjun's eyes were wet: "Thank you, brother."

Lu Jiazong had thought about this in his mind, and was very calm when he found out about this. Only Lu Shan was confused, wondering how he could be adopted by his third grandfather.

Lu Shan said with a headache: "Dad, Mom, I am the eldest son in the family. If they want to adopt someone, they should adopt Ayun or Taozi. Why would they adopt me?"

Seeing that he seemed unhappy, Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Don't think too much. Adoption means changing your name from the second wife to the third wife. Everything else is the same as before."

“How can there be no difference?”

Mrs. Lu asked him what the difference was, and Lu Shan was at a loss for words. Seeing his foolish look, Mrs. Lu said, "Silly son, your father and I are doing this for you and Goudan. You will be adopted into the third room, and the house in the family building will be yours."

Lu Shan's face changed: "Mom, this house belongs to my aunt. My aunt has been so good to our family, we can't do such an ungrateful thing."

Second Sister-in-law Lu was so angry that she slapped him on the back and said, "Your aunt doesn't want this house. She said she wanted to give it to us. Your father and I can't take advantage of her, so we refused. But if you are adopted, you will be the heir of the third house. If your aunt doesn't want it, it's only natural for you to take it."

After hearing that Lu Jiaxin didn't want the family building, Lu Shan still said, "Mom, I think we should ask my aunt about this, right? If she agrees, then I have no problem with it. If she objects, then forget it."

He admired Lu Jiaxin very much, not only did she get into college in Gangcheng, but she also made a career. Therefore, he didn't want to do anything that would make Lu Jiaxin unhappy.

Mrs. Lu nodded and said, "Of course, I'll call your aunt in the evening."

She felt that Lu Jiaxin would not refuse, after all, it would not affect her. And if Shanzi was adopted by the third house, then even if Tang Sufen gave up, they could take over the care of him.
