Volume 1: Reborn in the 80s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 74: The Son Pays the Mother's Debt
Listening to Old Lady He's heart-wrenching curses, even though they were not being cursed at, everyone in the Hu family felt hot and ashamed.
Hu Qiongfang was so ashamed that she wanted to bury her head in the ground.
If He Xiangjun had not gone on a blind date with me back then, but instead found a girl who was willing to live with him, perhaps their child would have been older than Jiang Tian.
Old Mrs. He's scolding attracted all the neighbors nearby.
The walls on both sides of the He family's house were filled with people watching the fun.
Even Da Huang, the dog at the entrance of the village who was always afraid of Old Lady He, trotted over, poking his head out of the crowd and boldly joined the crowd to watch the fun.
Seeing that her mother was almost prostrating herself with shame, Jiang Tian looked at her brother, then at the empty yard of the He family. She had an idea and pulled her brother out.
The brother and sister also knelt on the ground with a thud.
Immediately, a chirping sound was heard nearby.
"Why are these two kids from the Hu family kneeling down?"
"Who knows? Maybe they want to force the He family to forgive her mother."
Hearing the noise from both sides, Old Mrs. He looked at Jiang Cheng and his sister with a cold face .
Before she could open her mouth, she heard Jiang Tiancui say:
"Grandpa He, Grandma He, as the saying goes, a son pays for a mother's debt. My mother was so unfaithful to Uncle He that she caused Uncle He to not even have children to visit his grave in the future. Do you think this is okay?"
"My two children, my brother and I, are here today. Whichever one you like can have its name changed and added to the family tree today. Uncle He is a great hero who stood up for justice. My brother and I are willing to continue Uncle He's family line!"
Jiang Tian's words were like a bolt from the blue, scaring the He family, the villagers who were watching the excitement, and the Hu family.
Grandpa Hu's mouth twitched twice. Although it was a bit unfair to think so, he hoped that the two elders of the He family would choose their grandson Jiang Cheng, change his surname, and continue the family line for He Xiangjun.
In this way, at least, the Jiang family will have no male heir to continue the Jiang Leping line.
It would be a great pleasure if Jiang Leping could be made to have no descendants!
Hu Qiongfang was also shocked, but she was kind by nature. When she thought about how He Xiangjun lost even a son or daughter because of her, she realized that he was a hero who bravely sacrificed his life to save others, but in the end, he didn't even have children to sweep his grave for him.
A hero shouldn't have such an ending.
Thinking of this, Hu Qiongfang no longer hesitated and looked at the old lady He and her husband with firm eyes.
Although she still felt reluctant, her two children were grown up now. Even if they were adopted by the He family, she could still go to the school to see the children or to the He family to see the children. As long as she was diligent, she would always be able to see the children.
But He Xiangjun is different. He no longer has the chance to have his own children.
There was complete silence in the He family's yard for a while.
Even Dahuang didn't dare to bark.
Everyone (including Da Huang) was waiting for the two elders of the He family to make a choice.
However, the villagers speculated that there was an 80% chance that Old Lady He would choose Jiang Cheng.
After Hu Qiongfang took her two children back to her parents' home, gossip about her two children quickly spread to several nearby villages.
I heard that Hu Qiongfang’s eldest daughter, Jiang Tian, is even prettier than her mother was when she was young.
The youngest son, Jiang Cheng, always ranks first in the grade in every exam and is definitely a potential college student.
No matter how pretty a girl is, she will eventually become someone else's good-for-nothing.
Anyway, if they were Old Lady He, they would definitely choose Jiang Cheng.
Old Mrs. He lowered her head and stared at Jiang Cheng with greedy eyes for a long time, without even glancing at Jiang Tian.
Instead, it was Mr. He who looked at Jiang Tian several times.
This girl is amazing. Her personality and temper are quite similar to his two daughters. She looks delicate and weak, but unexpectedly she has a straightforward character. It would be great if Xiang Jun could leave a son and marry Jiang Tian as his granddaughter-in-law, then the two families would owe each other nothing.
Jiang Tian also thought that Old Lady He would choose Jiang Cheng.
Now she felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have pulled Jiang Cheng and gone all in on impulse.
What if her brother doesn’t want to change his surname and becomes someone else’s son?
Everyone thought that Old Lady He would choose the boy Jiang Cheng.
Unexpectedly, Old Mrs. He stared at Jiang Cheng greedily for a long time before she forced herself to move her eyes away from Jiang Cheng.
Pointing at Jiang Tian who was kneeling next to Jiang Cheng——
“I want this!”
With a snap, all the onlookers in the audience were shocked.
Even Dahuang, who was mixed in the crowd, couldn't help but open his mouth, looking even more like a stupid dog.
Mr. He tugged at his wife's sleeve and asked her in a low voice, "Old lady, don't you want a grandson?"
Old Mrs. He glared at the old man fiercely: "Do you think I don't want a grandson?"
"The Jiang family only has this one son. If we adopt him to our son, will it mean that the Jiang family will have no descendants?"
Jiang Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
Just by hearing this sentence, she knew that although Old Lady He looked a little harsh, she was not difficult to get along with.
Before everyone could react, Jiang Tian stood up, walked to the old lady He and his wife, knelt down and kowtowed to the old man He and his wife as if he was kowtowing to his elders during the New Year.
He raised his head and changed his address crisply:
"Grandpa, grandma, my name is Tiantian. I was born on August 26, 1973 in the lunar calendar. I am an ox."
"I will definitely be filial to you two in the future. I will not forget to burn paper and pay tribute to Xiangjun's father during festivals."
Hearing that Old Lady He actually chose Jiang Tian, Grandpa Hu was a little disappointed. He also felt that this old lady had a sharp eye and picked Jiang Tian who could make money at first sight. In the future, the He family will not be short of money~
Old Mrs. He stood there stiffly, not moving a muscle, but the old man knew his wife's character.
Isn't it just that you can't bring yourself to do that?
It doesn't matter, luckily he is thick-skinned.
Old Master He quickly bent down, helped Jiang Tian up with a smile on his face, sighed, and took a closer look. The more he looked, the more he liked her.
This girl is really good-looking, with a fair and tender face, curved eyebrows and eyes, and she looks very pleasing.
As if she was afraid that Hu Qiongfang would change her mind, Old Lady He asked her with a stern face: "Are you really willing to give Tian Ya to our Xiang Jun as his daughter?"
Hu Qiongfang looked at her daughter and was still reluctant to let her go. She asked Mrs. He, "I am willing to let Tiantian change her surname and become Xiang Jun's daughter. But my Tiantian is still young, Auntie, can you let her stay with me for two more years?"
Old Mrs. He curled her lips and said, "It's up to you! We are old and can't take care of children anyway."
Mr. He immediately asked, "How about I ask someone to open the ancestral hall now, write the family tree for Tiantian first, and then go and change the household registration book tomorrow?"
Adoption is not something that can be said casually.
Once the formalities are completed, Jiang Tian will be called He Tian from now on.
Moreover, the household registration must be moved to the He family and registered under the name of He Xiangjun.
