After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

Old Master Lu also knew that this was putting Zhao Huanxi in a difficult position. Seeing Zhao Huanxi's offer, he said, "Tell us what you want. We'll do our best to satisfy you."

Zhao Huanxi looked at them and said solemnly, "I want these children to have my last name."

Old Master Lu said subconsciously: "No, after all, he is still the seedling of the Lu family."

After saying this, he realized that the children were all daughters and would all be married off in the future. They would not be able to be buried in the family tomb and would not be able to carry on the family line.

But if she changed her surname, it would be too embarrassing to tell anyone. After all, she was the granddaughter of the Lu family. What would it mean to take her stepmother's surname? So she looked up at Old Lady Tian, ​​wanting to ask for her opinion.

Old Mrs. Tian also knew that this was not going to be easy, but Lu Feng on the ground spoke first: "Dad, Mom, if she wants it, just give it to her! They're just money-losing goods anyway! Sooner or later, they'll belong to someone else's family! What's the point of keeping them? They'll just cost us food!"

Old Master Lu was so angry that he said to Lu Feng in disgust, "Shut up! You have no right to speak here!"

Zhao Huanxi understood what Old Master Lu said when he saw that he did not refute Lu Feng's words.

It is true that the blood flowing in the veins of these children is from the Lu family.

But in ancient times, women had a low status. As Lu Feng said, many people called girls money-losing goods, and some even secretly threw away girls when they gave birth.

This kind of thing happened not only in ancient times, but also in modern times. When a girl grows up and can earn money, those men will come up to her and claim her as their relative, and then morally blackmail her into giving money to support them. If she doesn't give, she will be considered unfilial. Similar things are common.

Zhao Huanxi knew the old couple were not bad people, so she spoke to comfort them again, "Dad, Mom, since you two have chosen to adopt me as your goddaughter, I will definitely provide for you in your old age. When your children grow up and get married, they will definitely kowtow to you two."

At this time, Old Lady Tian secretly winked at Old Master Lu. Seeing this, Old Master Lu said softly, "Then wait for the clan leader to come, write a written agreement, stamp it with the village seal, and then go to the government to transfer the ownership tomorrow."

The matter was settled. At this moment, a large group of people approached from a distance, carrying torches. Leading the group was Lu Zhencai, the current patriarch of the Lu family, and Lu Youmao, the village chief. Behind them followed a group of onlookers.

Hearing the noise, Old Master Lu and Old Lady Tian went out to greet them. The clan leader then spoke up, "Gao Shun, what's going on? I heard you're going to expel your eldest son from the clan?"

The village chief also asked: "This is a big deal, have you thought it through?"

Old Master Lu went into the house and dragged Lu Feng out. When Lu Feng saw that the clan leader and the village chief had really come, his fear came back.

Mr. Lu ignored him and told everyone directly, "I just found out today that this bastard has been gambling with others outside. If it weren't for what happened today, I don't know how long I would have been kept in the dark."

He kicked Lu Feng on the ground again and continued, "Are you going to admit it yourself? Or do you want to admit it after your clan is exterminated?"

Lu Feng was a little conflicted. He had no way out, so he could only bite the bullet and tell the whole story of how he was deceived into the gambling house, how he won money, and how he lost money.

He thought that he had someone to back him up, and his parents wouldn't let him get beaten to death by debt collectors. After all, he was his parents' biological son.

Hearing Lu Feng's words, Old Master Lu's face became increasingly darker, and the expressions of the clan leader and the village chief beside him were also not looking good. The older people knew that the tricks used in places like gambling houses were the most despicable. They didn't expect that Lu Feng would be the first person in the village to be fooled.

Zhao Huanxi despised Lu Feng. A casino scam, half real and half fake, was a lie. If he hadn't been greedy for ill-gotten gains, how could such a low-level scam have fooled Lu Feng? He felt sorry for the two elderly people, who still had to clean up Lu Feng's mess at such an old age.

He just gave three taels of silver yesterday, and now he wants to take ten taels to the gambling house. The old couple is afraid that they will have no money to buy funeral supplies in the future.

At this time, the clan leader spoke up: "Gao Shun, this is your son. How you deal with him is your business, but according to the clan rules, it is not excessive to chop off your eldest son's hand."

Hearing that his hands were going to be chopped off, Lu Feng's eyes widened. He immediately hugged his mother's thighs and began to cry: "Mom, save me, I won't gamble again! I know I was wrong, mom! I will definitely be filial to you in the future. I will never gamble again, mom!"

Old Master Lu's eyebrows jumped. He wanted to teach Lu Feng a lesson. Expelling the clan was harsh, but in the end the person would still be safe and sound. But if he had to chop off his hands, it would hurt both the palms and the backs of his hands, and no one would be able to do that.

Old Mrs. Tian didn't know what to do at this time, and looked at her head of the household pleadingly.

Old Master Lu had no choice but to soften his tone and said to the clan leader, "Uncle Zhencai, Lu Feng was simply possessed by a ghost. Can you, can you change it to a caning to teach him a lesson, and then have him sign a guarantee to promise that he will never do it again."

Patriarch Lu is about sixty years old and in very good health.

"Master Patriarch! I am willing to be whipped. I am willing to sign. As long as you don't chop off my hands, I will accept even a hundred lashes!"

Seeing that his father was speaking for him, Lu Feng quickly expressed his loyalty.

Zhao Huanxi almost laughed out loud. The Lu family leader's so-called whipping punishment involved using fresh yellow willow branches to strip the prisoner's outer clothing, leaving only half his fur trousers. He then used the sticks, as thick as an adult's finger, to whip his buttocks. The torturer had to use all his strength: three lashes for minor offenses, ten for major ones. I wonder if Lu Feng's buttocks can withstand it? (This plot is made up by the author.)

The clan leader looked at Lu Feng, his nephew from the next room, and couldn't understand how Lu Gaoshun and Tian could have given birth to such an evil child.

But he still said to Old Master Lu, "Since you've asked for mercy, I'll believe him this time. However, I'll have to add a clause to the letter of guarantee: if I catch Lu Feng gambling again, I'll voluntarily be expelled from the Lu family. Do you have any objections?"

When Lu Feng heard that he really wouldn't have his hands chopped off again, and as for the letter of guarantee, it was just a piece of paper, how could anyone really do anything to him? Thinking of this, he quickly knelt down and promised that he would never gamble again.

Seeing that Old Master Lu had no objection, the clan leader asked the village chief if he could agree. After the village chief nodded, he asked someone to bring paper and pen to write a letter of guarantee.

Old Master Lu could read, so he had taught his children to read. After reading it, he asked Lu Feng to come over and sign.

Lu Feng glanced at the contents of the letter of guarantee and felt a little disdainful, but he still signed it and put his fingerprint on it obediently.

After seeing Lu Feng sign, Old Master Lu said to the clan leader and the village chief, "There is one more thing I need you two to bear witness to."

The two were a little surprised, so they asked, "What else is there? Let's talk about it together and solve it together."

Old Master Lu spoke awkwardly, "I'll let them divorce. As an apology, we plan to adopt Zhao Huanxi as our adopted daughter. From now on, Zhao Huanxi will be free to marry as she pleases, and the three children will also change their surname to Zhao."

The clan leader and the village chief had never expected that the old couple would adopt Zhao Huanxi as their adopted daughter and give their children Zhao Huanxi's surname.

The advantage of doing this is that if Zhao Huanxi cannot get married in the future, at least her descendants will pray for her. The disadvantage is that Zhao Huanxi is only nineteen years old and may have to get married in the future, so these three children will be a burden.

Never mind, it was someone else's family affair after all, they just wanted to be witnesses. Then he and the village chief looked at each other, and they both understood what the other meant.

The village chief turned to Old Master Lu and asked, "How will Zhao Huanxi and Lu Feng's property be divided? I remember the document from when you divided the property is still at my house. Also, will Zhao Huanxi be registered as a daughter-in-law or as a member of your household?"

The village chief looks to be about the same age as Old Master Lu, but he looks more serious than Old Master Lu.

The village chief is responsible for handling matters such as the division of families, weddings and funerals, and family matters in the village. He is very fair in his dealings, so he enjoys considerable prestige in the village.

Old Master Lu sighed and said to the others, "The house and land belong to Huanxi. Lu Feng will leave the house with nothing. Huanxi will set up a new household as a daughter. Brother Youmao, please take the trouble to write a certificate for Huanxi."

The village chief nodded and told his son to go home and get his village seal. The young man was quick and came back soon.

The village chief had already written the divorce agreement and the necessary documents for household registration. He also asked Zhao Huanxi if the children wanted to change their names.

Zhao Huanxi signed the divorce agreement first before considering the issue of changing the names of her children.

The eldest son is Lu Pan'er, the second son is Lu Yin'er, and the third son is Lu Nian'er. These three names are inseparable from sons. They are full of Lu Feng's yearning for boys and his disgust for girls.

Now that the children want to have the surname Zhao like Zhao Huanxi, we should discard these three characters "er" and change them to Zhao Pan, Zhao Yin, and Zhao Nian.

What's wrong with daughters? Daughters are human beings too. Their names shouldn't carry such an unfulfilled mission from birth. From now on, the three of them are their own masters.
