This is a good idea. Shi De's eyes lit up when he heard it: "I think it's a good idea. Then I'll listen to you, old man. I'll tell him when Zhentang comes back."
"What are you talking about?"
Just now, Yang Dahua was eavesdropping while lying on the broken door.
The room was so small, and the gap in the door was only about a finger wide, so she could hear everything the old lady said clearly.
Letting Shi De adopt that fool as his goddaughter, doesn't that mean the Shi family has taken on the burden of raising the fool?
No, that absolutely won’t work.
Yang Dahua was so anxious that she shouted outside the house: "Shi De, if you dare to agree to the old lady, I will divorce you immediately. Why should we raise a fool with you? Anyway, we can't live like this anymore, so we might as well get a divorce."
When Shi De heard about the divorce, he was stunned. Over the years, he was afraid of Yang Dahua and was afraid of being famous in the village.
At this moment, his face was full of embarrassment: "Mom, this..."
Lu Huanying looked at him coldly: "The Tian family saved your life back then, and now you don't even want to acknowledge them as your goddaughter?"
"But Dahua...I..."
“…”
Outside the house, Yang Dahua's crying and yelling never stopped.
No matter what, she just doesn't want to raise a fool. She can die or divorce, but she just won't say she won't raise him.
Qiangqiang and Doudou, who were sitting on the big kang, were so scared when they saw their grandmother acting like a madman that they didn't dare to play anymore.
Su Zhen lowered her head carefully and protected the child silently.
The mother-in-law was so scary, but the three of them, mother and son, had no place to hide.
Normally, there is a small thatched hut in the yard where she, Shi Weimin and the baby stay at night. Now that her brother-in-law Shi Zhentang is back, she gave it to him to live in. She can't go back and hide in her brother-in-law's house, right?
I can only watch the fun here with my head held high.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you speak up for mom?"
Shi Xiaoli, who was howling loudly, suddenly turned around and looked at her. She asked angrily, "Don't think this matter has nothing to do with you. What if our father adopts that idiot as his goddaughter? You and my eldest brother will also have a share in raising him."
Su Zhen was shocked, not because of the matter of raising Tian Yuzhu, but because she did not expect Shi Xiaoli to suddenly drag her into the water.
She didn't know how to respond for a moment, and moved the corners of her lips...
"Don't worry about it. Yuzhu will be my wife in the future and I will take care of her."
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded at the door.
Su Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in time!
Shi Zhentang's voice was neither loud nor low, steady and powerful, like a cold sword that cut through everything.
Yang Dahua and her daughter stopped howling and dared not curse anymore.
Shi De in the hut also slowly opened the door, and grandma Lu Huanying looked at him with worried eyes as he entered the house.
Shi Zhentang's cold and stern temperament overwhelms everything.
He walked forward, followed by the silly girl with lowered brows, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Grandma, I plan to marry Yuzhu. Before she joins the army, I'd like you to take care of her for a while."
"Zhentang, you, you have to think it through!"
Lu Huanying's heart was in her throat. The thing she was most worried about had happened. This child always kept his word and would not change his mind. She knew that there was nothing she could do to change anything.
"Think it through!"
Shi Zhentang nodded slightly.
He thought very clearly that there was no way he could protect Tian Yuzhu except by marrying her.
What's more, Yang Dahua and the others are so opposed to Yuzhu becoming the Shi family's goddaughter. If he forces it, Yuzhu will definitely have a hard time after he leaves.
No matter what, he didn't want others to suffer the same pain he had endured at the hands of Yang Dahua when he was a child.
In this situation, Shi De could only tremble his lips. He felt sorry for his son, but he dared not say anything because of Yang Dahua's tyranny.
However, Yang Dahua's expression revealed a barely perceptible sneer.
Shi Zhentang's appearance frightened her, and because of this, her thoughts completely changed.
At first she simply didn't want to raise a fool, but now she can't wait to marry the fool to Shi Zhentang.
Don’t you think it’s great that you’re a soldier?
I haven't called her "Mom" for more than ten years. Well, don't blame her for being unkind and unjust as a "mom".
Yang Dahua thought that if Shi Zhentang married the silly girl and didn't bring her to the army, he would have to bring more money home, and she would just keep it.
Furthermore, this fool is still useful after all. At least with her around, she is in a disguised way of tying Shi Zhentang down for life.
In other words, every penny Shi Zhentang earned in his life had to go to the Shi family.
Moreover, under this circumstance, the two of them will definitely not have offspring. By then, everything in the Shi family will fall into the hands of their own sons and grandsons.
Inwardly, Yang Dahua's calculations were tinkling. On the surface, she wiped her tears and said slowly, "Zhentang, you are worthy of being a soldier. You are responsible. Why don't we accompany you to the production team to get a certificate so that you and Yuzhu can get it?"
"It's not that easy for me to get a marriage certificate. I have to go to the army to get a certificate first." Shi Zhentang's eyes were slightly cold. "I hope you will take good care of Yuzhu during this period."
"Oh...so that's it!" There was a hint of disappointment in Yang Dahua's voice.
Shi Xiaoli was stunned: "Mom..."
Didn’t you just say that you wouldn’t help raise a fool? Why did you change your mind?
But before she could finish her words, she was glared at by the other party, so she had to shut her mouth quickly.
…
After the quarrel, Yang Dahua was so generous that she didn't interfere with what people in the cabin were eating.
Even when she saw the three fat rabbits slung over Shi Zhentang's shoulders, she endured it.
As long as she can achieve this "beautiful" marriage, Yang Dahua doesn't care about the small profits for the time being.
Shi Zhentang slaughtered all three rabbits neatly, cleaned the rabbit meat, cleaned the fur and placed it in a ventilated place to cool. After a while, when the fur was softened, he could use it to make hats and boots!
One rabbit is enough for three people today!
The remaining two were salted and smoked and hung above the fire pit, so that at least Grandma and Yuzhu could have some meat before the New Year.
Seeing his firm attitude, Lu Huanying had no choice but to compromise.
She cooked the meat from a slaughtered rabbit into soup and made a few steamed buns with coarse grain flour. Shi Zhentang had to go back to the army now.
Even though she was very worried, she didn't want to give her grandson any worries.
As for Tian Yuzhu, she just sat in front of the fire pit and helped collect firewood. Although she was silly, she didn't act so stupid that she couldn't even do this.
After working in silence for a while, the rich aroma of rabbit meat wafted out from the crack of the hut door, and soon the entire outer room of Shi's house was filled with the aroma of meat.
In these days when people are not well fed and have insufficient water to drink, even adults would salivate with greed at the smell of meat, let alone children.
Chengcheng and Doudou in the big room outside were crying out of greed. They rubbed their eyes and shook Su Zhen's arm, "Mom, we want to eat meat too."
"We want to eat meat, too."
"Be good, be good!"
Su Zhen was dizzy from the children's shaking, but she had no say in the matter.
Even her parents-in-law didn't say anything, and her sister-in-law Shi Xiaoli just sat there as if nothing had happened. How could she dare to make any suggestions?
