Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

When Zhou Laosan heard the old patriarch's words, he stopped wailing.

Did the old patriarch say this?

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember. I'll say it again today, but there won't be another 'again'."

While Zhou Laosan was stunned, the old patriarch said something that was almost a bolt from the blue to him.

"During this disastrous year, the Zhou family's survival is at stake. The entire clan should be united to safely weather this difficult time and preserve the Zhou family."

"Your niece, at such a young age, wants to share the food she worked so hard to earn with the villagers. Does she owe you anything?"

"On the contrary, you kicked out the Second Branch family, who worked like slaves for the Zhou family. You owe her that! It's me, as the clan leader, who failed to be fair and protect them. I owe her that!"

"But now that she has let bygones be bygones, why should she be questioned by you?"

After the old patriarch said this, he suddenly straightened his back.

He looked leisurely at the solemn and majestic ancestral hall behind him and said:

"So I decided to have Zhou Lingling, the daughter of Zhou Laoer, included in the family tree, and you and your family should leave Zhoujia Village!"

When these words were spoken, not only Zhou Laosan was shocked, but everyone else present was also shocked.

But it was just shock.

It was the first time in the history of the Zhou family that a woman, a ten-year-old girl at that, was included in the family tree.

He returned to Zhoujia Village with Zhou Lingling, but did not follow Zhou Laoer to find the old patriarch. Instead, he went directly back to the old Zhou family with his wife.

The yard, which was tidy when their family was here, is now a mess.

Old man and old lady Zhou also moved out of the main house and lived in the utility room next to the kitchen. Several rooms in the main house had been divided up by the first and third wives.

When Zhou Laoer and his wife first entered the room, they were a little bit incredulous when they saw Old Man Zhou trembling as he came out of the utility room holding onto the door frame.

Until Old Man Zhou saw them, he called out with tears in his eyes: "Son..."

The people from the other two families were not there, and Zhou Laoer and Chen knew that they must have gone to the old patriarch's place.

Zhou Laoer kept a serious face throughout the whole process. He helped Old Man Zhou and Old Lady Zhou clean up the utility room without saying a word, and also refused Chen's help.

This was his parents' own fault and had nothing to do with his wife.

The old couple saw their second son as if they had seen a savior.

But Zhou Laoer still had no expression on his face. He turned around and left after cleaning up.

Old Man Zhou thought he was about to leave, so he quickly chased after him: "Son..."

As a result, Zhou Laoer came in carrying two sacks of potatoes.

Old man Zhou swallowed the words in his mouth.

"These potatoes are enough for you to eat for a while. If you run out, someone will send you more. Just wash them and cook them." Zhou Laoer said in a deep voice.

I don’t even have a place to live, so don’t expect my daughter to do anything like frying, cooking or cooking.

After saying that, Zhou Laoer looked at the skinny old couple again, turned around and told Chen to leave.

Old Mrs. Zhou lay on the wooden board and screamed "Ahhhh", and Old Man Zhou also chased out.

"Second brother..."

Old man Zhou's voice trembled, and he seemed a little timid, but also a little expectant.

Zhou Laoer stopped and looked back at him: "Dad, as long as you and Mom want to live, I will definitely not let you starve to death."

But only there.

Because this is how he has been living since he was a child.

Does he want to have enough food and warm clothes?

No.

impossible.

But he would keep them well fed and clothed.

When Zhou Laoer and Chen came out of Old Zhou's house, they heard that the old patriarch was outside the ancestral hall, telling everyone something important.

When the two heard this, they knew their daughter was there, so they rushed over.

What did they hear?

"Old Patriarch! Can my daughter really be included in the family tree?"

Zhou Laoer shouted in a deep voice, and everyone looked at him.

The tall and strong man who looked like an iron tower just threw his wife aside and ran over with a "thump thump thump" sound.

"Old Patriarch, I think today is worse than today. Today is a good day. Why don't we come to the ancestral hall early to have my daughter included in the family tree?"

Zhou Laoer looked at the old patriarch excitedly, and the expectation in his eyes could not be hidden.

The gate of the ancestral hall was just behind him, and it seemed that as long as the old patriarch gave the order, he could rush in and open the ancestral hall.

The old patriarch: "..." Although that's what I meant, aren't you a little too excited?

The old patriarch raised his cane and struck the giant palm that was pressing on his other hand.

"You're such a disrespectful thing! Just like your daughter!"

Zhou Lingling: “???” Is it okay to be the unwitting target?

Having said that, the old patriarch also looked at several elders.

"What do you think, old friends? Do you think there's anything wrong?"

Several elders looked at each other.

It's definitely inappropriate, after all, she's a woman...

But they have just taken out so much grain, and they can still grow new grain in the disaster year, and they will teach everyone how to grow it in the future.

If they just refused, it would not only be unkind but also ungrateful.

They looked at each other and saw the same thing in each other's eyes.

So the bookish Sixth Uncle was the first to speak: "Although we have never had a woman in the Zhou family tree, Ling's broad-mindedness and courage are something that even men would be ashamed of. Since our family has a heroine, she should be included in the family tree."

"That's right. Ling girl has made a huge contribution and saved our entire village. She should be included in the family tree!"

The clan leader and elders all agreed, and the other villagers had no objections as they felt obligated to take advantage of the situation.

The heavy door of the ancestral hall slowly opened, and only Zhou Laosan, who was lying on the ground, woke up as if from a dream.

just,

The old patriarch seemed to say that he wanted the girl from the second son’s family to be included in the family tree?

"Ridiculous! This is ridiculous..."

How can a woman be included in the family tree?

With a bruised face and nose, he grabbed the person next to him and said, "This is ridiculous, isn't it? How can a woman be included in the family tree?"

The man brushed him away in disgust.

"What's so ridiculous about that! Ling girl distributed 200 kilograms of grain to every household in the village, so why can't she be included in the family tree? As long as I can have enough to eat, I'd even sacrifice her for my own!"

"As for you, you should worry about yourself first! The old patriarch said that he wants to drive your family out of Zhoujia Village!"

Zhou Laosan was stunned, then shook his head vigorously.

"impossible!"

"You're talking nonsense! We're a happy family in Zhoujia Village. Who could chase us away?"

It was bustling outside, and the crowds were also clamoring inside.

Led by the old clan leader, several clan elders sat upright, the village chief Zhou Yong, and several other elders and prestigious elders in the village were qualified to enter the ancestral hall.

Zhou Lingling and her father Zhou Laoer also entered as the protagonists.

She stood in the middle, and her sixth uncle took out a piece of paper from somewhere and read from it.

The general meaning is that the Zhou family has a daughter who is virtuous and kind, and is as capable as any man, etc., so she is specially allowed to be included in the family tree.

Afterwards, the old patriarch stood up, took the thick family tree from Zhou Yong's hand, and turned to the page about Zhou Laoer's family with a solemn face.

His wife is Zhou Chen.

The eldest son, Zhou Chi.

The second legitimate son, Zhou Yun.

Zhou Lao Er stared straight at the old patriarch's hand——

The pen next to it.

Everyone else also had a serious look on their faces. Driven by this atmosphere, Zhou Lingling, who had originally thought it didn't matter, couldn't help but become serious.

The old patriarch picked up his pen and solemnly added a sentence below:

The eldest daughter, Zhou Lingling.

This is the first time a woman's name appears in this thick family tree.
