"Did you hear that?"
"What?"
"Old Xu's family, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave!"
"Who said that?"
"Old Suntou from the east side of the village saw it with his own eyes!"
"Just yesterday morning, when Lao Sun went up the mountain to hunt rabbits, he saw smoke rising from the grave of Lao Xu's family from a distance!"
"real?"
"Isn't that right? With Old Sun Tou's character, who has he deceived over the years?"
"Good boy, the old Xu family is going to take advantage of it!"
"Isn't that right? Next year, Xu Laosan should take the exam again, right? This time, he is probably stable!"
"Tsk, tsk, it looks like the old Xu family is going to be in trouble from now on!"
…
In one day, the news that smoke was coming out of the ancestral grave of the old Xu family spread throughout Lingshui Village.
As for the old Xu family, who were admired and watched by the villagers, they didn't get any news.
On this day, the old Xu family was really in a state of turmoil.
Why
The old lady of the Xu family who is already a grandmother is pregnant again!
Old Mrs. Xu, whose eldest grandson is already good at making soy sauce, actually has a bulging stomach again. This is really an old clam holding a baby, so strange!
After being diagnosed by the town doctor, Mr. Xu felt windy when walking.
What about getting older? We are getting stronger with age!
Mr. Xu stood at the door of the main hall of the old Xu family, looking at the two sons and three daughters-in-law standing in front of him, as well as the two eldest grandsons whom he used to cherish.
"Your mother is pregnant again!"
"This is the top priority for our old Xu family!"
"From now on, you, the boss and his wife, will take charge of everything inside and outside this house."
"If you don't understand something, ask your mother again!"
"Dad, I listen to you!"
Mr. Xu's daughter-in-law, Ms. Zhou, felt mixed joy and sorrow after hearing Mr. Xu's words.
Fortunately, she now has the power to run the family.
Worryingly, my mother-in-law is pregnant. Regardless of whether there is a boy or a girl in this belly, I am afraid that in the future it will be the beloved couple, and the family will have multiple ancestors.
Mr. Xu didn't notice the eldest daughter-in-law's confusion at all.
He looked at his second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li, and said seriously: "Second daughter-in-law, please take care of the cooking. Whatever your mother wants to eat, she can do it!" "
"Okay, Dad!"
Li agreed in a low voice without showing much emotion on her face.
Finally, Mr. Xu looked at the youngest daughter-in-law, Wang, who was the least worrying among the three daughters-in-law.
The Wang family is truly a low-income married woman.
The old Xu family can be regarded as an heirloom of farming and education.
All three sons have gone to school since childhood. It is a pity that only the third child, Xu Yuanxu, has this talent for reading. He passed the county and government examinations at a young age. He only needs to pass the college examination to become a scholar.
Because of Xu Yuanxu's talent in reading, he was able to marry the eldest daughter of a scholarly family in the county.
Unfortunately, Xu Yuanxu failed to win in three years.
For this reason, the Wang family's attitude towards Xu Yuanxu and even the Xu family gradually changed from cautious and caring at first to indifferent. When nothing happens, the Wang family will criticize Sang and Huai, and ridicule the Xu family.
If it weren't for his reputation and for Xu Laosan's future, Mr. Xu would have asked Xu Yuanxu to write a letter of divorce to Wang.
"The third daughter-in-law!"
As soon as Mr. Xu spoke, Mrs. Wang immediately snorted and said, "Dad, you don't need to warn me!"
"My husband will take the exam again next year!"
"My father sent a letter before, saying that he bought a small courtyard in the county for me and my husband to live in. My daughter-in-law wanted to tell you before, but she never found the opportunity!"
Mrs. Wang said after a while, Mr. Xu's face darkened.
"Does the third child know about this matter?"
