Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 143: My third uncle has done me a favor, so please adopt him!

Old Mr. Gu had a bad premonition, his eyelids twitching, and he hurriedly spoke to stop his son from going crazy.

But before he could say anything, Gu Lianshan spoke in an unusually sincere tone, "My grandmother raised me from a young age, and I didn't live with my parents until I was around ten. Before she died, my grandmother said that my third aunt and my cousin were both sickly. If anything happened to them, my third uncle would be left alone with no one to help him."

"I didn't expect that what my grandma said would come true. My third aunt and cousin passed away early, leaving my third uncle alone in the world."

"My third uncle once saved my life in the mountains in his early years, and I have always remembered that life-saving grace. My grandmother was never at ease with my third uncle until her death, and I have always remembered her worries before her death."

"Over the years, due to the old grudges between my parents and my third uncle, I could only help them secretly. Now that I think about it, I'm truly ungrateful! Since the clan leaders and elders are all here today, I implore them to follow the clan rules and allow my entire family to be adopted by my third uncle!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the main room fell silent for a moment.

But soon, Old Man Gu stood up in a rage, his hand raised high, and was about to hit Gu Lianshan in the face: "You beast! Unfilial evildoer! Your parents and brothers are all alive, and you dare to abandon them and dream of being adopted?!"

Gu Lianshan wasn't stupid, and he wouldn't just take a beating. He used his hands and feet to dodge the slap, then his temper flared up: "If you continue to be so unreasonable and shameless, I'll fight back. If you hit me once, I'll hit Big Brother twice! If you slap me once, I'll slap him twice!"

When Gu Tang heard this, she tilted her head and glanced at her father, feeling very satisfied.

Her father finally got the message!
Mr. Gu's palm froze in mid-air. He knew that his second son was not just saying it casually, he was absolutely capable of doing it.

Gu Liansheng, who was sitting on the stool and still feeling dizzy, subconsciously wanted to hide when he heard this.

Unfortunately, he was dizzy at the moment and couldn't even stand up. He had no way to hide. He could only shout with a pale face: "Dad!"

The word "Dad" brought Mr. Gu back to his senses. He put down his slap, moved to his eldest son, stood in front of him, and then attacked his second son.

"I gave birth to you! I gave you your life! You want to be adopted out? Why not give your damn life back first!"

Gu Lianshan disagreed with this: "You have a good conscience! I have been with my grandma day and night since I was a child. My grandma asked me about everything, including eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. My mother knew that my grandma loved me, so she often said that she wanted to take me away from my grandma, and asked my grandma for money, either openly or secretly. If I didn't give it to her, she would use me as a raft!"

You knew all about these nasty things, but you didn't stop them. Instead, you supported and advised my mother behind my back! In those years, you and my mother took at least a dozen taels of silver from my grandmother!
Do you think you got those ten or so taels for free? That's the price I paid for selling my body! If you take that silver, I'll just think you and your wife sold me out!
Now you're talking about whether to have children or not, and you still have the nerve to bring it up? Do you really think I didn't know about the bad things you did in the past? It was just that my grandma told me before she died not to tell me about it, and told me to just pretend I didn't know, live my life in peace, and wait for the division of the family in the future!"

Old Master Gu's face flushed red. He didn't know that his second son knew what happened back then. Now that it was revealed in front of the clan leaders and elders, his face felt hot, ashamed and annoyed!

Fortunately, the incident happened a long time ago and the old lady died a long time ago. As long as he refuses to admit it, no one can conclude that he did it.

"You're courting death, you evil creature! You're full of lies! What sin have I committed to give birth to a beast like you!"

"What a coincidence! I don't know what sin I committed to deserve such biased parents like you and my mother!"

"You!" Old Master Gu was so angry that he saw stars and staggered two steps.

Gu Lianshan looked at them coldly, then turned around and pleaded with the clan leaders and elders again: "I hope the clan leaders and elders will agree to this!"

Clan leader Gu exchanged glances with the clan elders. The boy in Gu Lianshan's house was definitely a good seedling, but if he continued to stay in the hands of Grandpa Gu, it would be difficult for him to study peacefully.

The third son of the Gu family, Gu Wancheng, is a hundred times better than Grandpa Gu in terms of how he conducts himself and his moral cultivation!
It’s a pity that his wife and son died early, and he had to live a lonely life.

From a long-term perspective, Gu Lianshan's family was very happy to be adopted by Gu Wancheng.

But adoption is not like dividing the family, so this matter must be approved by Mr. Gu.

"I have no objection to the elders, but this adoption requires the consent of both parties..." Clan leader Gu secretly pointed at old man Gu with a ferocious look on his face. Gu Lianshan understood the rest of the words very well without needing to say them.

It requires the consent of both parties, and there is no need to think about it, his third uncle will definitely agree without any hesitation.

It’s just that his father might have some troubles.

It was more than just a trouble. Old Master Gu also came to his senses, and the expression on his face instantly relaxed: "Don't mention the adoption again! Your mother and I will not agree!"

Gu Lianshan had anticipated this, and he made up his mind, no longer caring about the opinions of the clan leaders and elders. He planned to expose the old man's past and threaten him.

"Since you're unwilling to give our second branch a way out, then we'll just end up in this together!"

Old Master Gu's heart sank, and he felt relieved again.

Gu Lianshan pointed behind the old man and said, "The law says that children born out of wedlock cannot take the imperial examinations or become officials! I'm going to report my eldest brother to the government. He knew he was born out of wedlock, but he deliberately concealed it. Over the past few decades, he has taken the imperial examinations more than twenty times!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, and everyone looked at them in different ways.

The first to be hit was Old Man Gu. His eyes were bloodshot and he picked up the stool that Gu Lianshan had been sitting on and smashed it on Gu Lianshan's head.

Judging from his appearance, he must have used all his strength and probably wanted to beat his son to death.

"I'm going to beat you to death, you bastard! Even if I have to risk my life today, I'm going to beat you to death!"

While cursing, Old Man Gu chased Gu Lianshan with a stool in his hand.

Gu Lianshan continued to shout while dodging, "Do you think you can keep the secret by beating me to death? Believe it or not, if you dare to hurt me even a little bit today, this matter will be a fight to the death!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu became even angrier and lost all his rationality.

The clan leaders and elders all stood up to stop them.

This is too outrageous!
Gu Tang pulled Gu Ping'an away and let them pull it away. After all, her father would not suffer any loss.

On the other hand, Gu Liansheng, who was sitting on the stool, had a dazed look on his face, his face was as pale as snow, and he seemed to find it hard to believe what he had just heard.

He is the son of adultery? !

Bullshit! He was a good scholar! How could he be called the son of an adulterer?

Gu Liansheng leaned on the table and tried to stand up. He wanted to ask the second brother! He also wanted to ask his father! How did he become the son of an illegitimate child?!
Gu Tang noticed Gu Liansheng's movements, quietly moved closer, and whispered, "Uncle, do you want to know what's going on?"

Gu Liansheng, who was just gathering his strength to stand up, lost all his strength after hearing these words and slumped back into his seat.

He looked at Gu Tang with a sinister look: "Why, even you know this?!"

Gu Tang smiled sweetly at him: "I know, I know, we in the second house all know..."

Gu Liansheng felt a pang of pain in his heart, and a murderous intent began to rise. Gu Tang pretended not to see it, and took the opportunity to tell Gu Liansheng all the bad things the two elders of the Gu family had done in the past. By the way, he also kindly told him that Feng had once been a maid.

To Gu Liansheng, these things sounded like fairy tales!

His mother had once sold herself to be a servant?!

After redeeming herself, she hooked up with her cousin's husband, committed adultery with him and got pregnant, and then divorced her original wife?!

Gu Liansheng kept shaking his head: "Impossible! It must be your father who made it up to ruin my reputation!"

Tsk!
You've seen the coffin lid, and you're not crying?

The damn duck has a tough mouth!
Gu Tang glanced at him sideways and brought down the final blow: "If this were false, would my grandfather be so angry? Would he grab a stool and try to beat my father to death to silence him?

Tsk tsk! Uncle, oh uncle, what would you do if you were the official in the government office?
Deliberately concealing your identity to participate in the imperial examination, and for decades, this is a capital crime that cannot be escaped, right? If I were my father, I would resolutely file a complaint, send you to prison first, and then make meritorious contributions while serving my sentence! There is no need to divide this family, let alone adopt one. If you are gone, everything will naturally belong to our second branch..."

Gu Tang leaned close to his ear and whispered, successfully frightening him so much that he turned pale and trembled like a sieve.

Gu Liansheng had only one thought at this time, no matter whether this matter was true or false, it must not be spread out!
He pretended to be crazy and looked at Gu Lianshan who was jumping around. His chaotic mind was rarely clear. He knew that he could not kill Gu Lianshan for the time being, and the clan leaders and elders also knew about it. He could not kill them all together.

This matter... just bear with it! Just bear with it for now!
Didn’t the second child want to be adopted?

Okay! Then let him be adopted first!
Gu Liansheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He held onto his dizziness and shouted to the shambling Old Man Gu, "Dad! Let the second son's family adopt him! Let him adopt!"

The noisy group of people suddenly quieted down and stopped what they were doing.

Old Master Gu looked at his eldest son with a horrified expression: "Son! Do you know what you are saying?"

"Let him be adopted!" Gu Liansheng pressed his hands to his temples, closed his eyes and shouted, "If you don't agree to his adoption, he will use this to destroy me. Don't you know which is more important?!"

Old Master Gu opened his mouth, wanting to say no.

Putting aside other things, just for the sake of the clan's reputation, the clan leaders and elders would not agree with the second son doing this, otherwise the clan would not have helped him clean up the mess back then.

He threw away the stool in his hand and staggered to Gu Liansheng, wanting to tell his son these words.

Unfortunately, Gu Liansheng was like a frightened bird at this time, and his mind was full of the three words "child born out of wedlock"!
It would be fine if only our family knew about it, but now all the clan leaders and elders know about it too!
How will the clan view him in the future? !

In addition, when taking the imperial examination, one needs a guarantor from his clan. Now that he has been accused of having a child out of wedlock, will his clan still guarantee him in the future?

If his clan no longer guarantees him, will he never have the chance to take the imperial examination again?

And his son Tianbao!

He was born out of wedlock, so does his son have to bear the same label?
……

The more Gu Liansheng thought about it, the more confused he became. He became anxious and irritable, and his temper suddenly flared up. He didn't want to listen to a word his father said, and just wanted his father to agree to the adoption.

After all, they have already torn their relations with the second brother's family, so why keep him around? They might as well keep him stable and let him be adopted.

Listening to his son's nonsense, Mr. Gu's tears instantly fell.

So what if we fall out?

As long as he, the father, is still alive, no matter how much the second son resents him, in order to prevent the girls and boys in the family from being criticized, the second son has to pay money and food to support him every year!
Because he is the second child’s biological father!
Supporting your biological father is the first filial duty!

But if he is adopted, then the second child will no longer be his son.

Since he is no longer his son, he will not be able to force him to pay money or food in the future!

Why can't my eldest son understand such a simple truth?
Mr. Gu had never felt so tired before.

Gu Liansheng didn't care about all this. He kept shouting that he felt dizzy and forced the old man to agree to it quickly. He didn't want to see the second son again, nor did he want this matter to spread.

Old Master Gu pulled Feng out and tried to buy some time: "Your mother is not here now. If I agree to adopt the second son, I'm afraid she will be heartbroken when she comes back..."

"Why should she be sad!" It would have been fine if Feng Shi was not mentioned, but as soon as Feng Shi was mentioned, Gu Liansheng immediately went crazy!
"My mother has never liked the second son's family! When she's at home, she always curses. She claims to be in charge of all the big and small matters in this family, but in reality, you're the one who makes the final decision on everything!"

After being exposed by his son like this, Mr. Gu had a heart attack and cried even harder.

It's a pity that it's useless. Gu Liansheng is only thinking about himself at this time and he doesn't care about anyone else.

Seeing Gu Liansheng's behavior, the clan leaders and elders all frowned and looked at Grandpa Gu as if he were a fool!
It's just this thing, what do you like about it?
The heartbroken Mr. Gu was ultimately no match for Gu Liansheng, and after Gu Liansheng's constant nagging, he finally agreed to the adoption.

Gu Lianshan felt relieved and the expression on his face relaxed.

The clan leaders and elders also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they agreed, they would get Sanlang, a good seedling, out and they would not care about anything else.

Si Ya is a lucky girl who earns a lot of money. Just because they have the same father and mother, she will definitely help San Lang.

I don’t dare to say more, but if Sanlang can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar in the future, the clan will also help him. As long as one of them becomes an official, the whole clan will benefit!

Hearing that Old Man Gu had given in, Gu Tang quickly struck while the iron was hot and pushed Gu Ping'an: "Go ask Third Uncle to come over and write the 'adoption letter' and explain the whole matter to him clearly. Don't alarm anyone."

"Yes, yes, yes! Go and ask for help quickly!" Gu Lianshan came to his senses after hearing Gu Tang's reminder and urged his son to ask for help quickly to avoid any more trouble.

Logically, Gu Lianshan should have gone to invite him personally, after all, he was going to be adopted by someone else.

When Chapter 127 was updated, 4,000 more words were added, turning the 4,000-word chapter into an 8,000-word chapter.

I didn't have many drafts saved, so I immediately revised it to 4,000 words with a heavy heart.

But later I found out that the charges were calculated based on the first release, that is, the charge was based on the first 8,000 words, and subsequent revisions were not counted.

Later, I thought of starting with 4,000 words, and then revising it to 5,000 words (still charging based on 4,000 words), until the 4,000 words owed for Chapter 127 were made up.

But the editor suddenly said that some readers still complained to the customer service, saying that they spent an extra 20 coins. In this case, I can only publish a separate chapter and put it in the free chapter as compensation for the treasures~

The reissue is in the previous free chapter~
