Adopting a daughter is a problem

Zhao Shuyu had been waiting at home for several days without waiting for a reply from her natal family, so she felt a little anxious.

It shouldn't be like this, according to her mother's temperament, knowing this, she probably has rushed over to see Jinjin by this time.

Could it be that her family is so opposed to her being a silly daughter?Although Jinjin is a little silly, but after getting along these days, she feels very obedient and obedient, very worry-free, and now she has learned a lot of big characters.

Even if you really don't like her doing this, you should at least write a letter, but it must not be that something happened at home.

It turned out that he was really afraid of something. After lunch that day, a letter came from the Zhao family.

This letter was written by Zhao Shuyu's second brother. He told her that they had received her letter, but the mother suddenly became seriously weak these days for some unknown reason. As a result, the medicine stone has no effect, so you can prepare for the funeral quickly. The whole family has been in turmoil these days, so they forgot to reply in time. The letter also asked her to bring Jinjin to Zhao's house to see her mother last side.

seriously ill? !How could it be, I only saw her during the Mid-Autumn Festival, my mother was still in good spirits at that time, it took less than a month, how could she be seriously ill so suddenly?She really wanted to say that this must be a joke made by her damned second brother, but her second brother loves to joke, but even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to curse his own mother.

Thinking that her mother's time was running out, she held back tears to suppress the panic in her heart, and told Hua Luoyangui and the others to prepare quickly, she was going back to Zhao's house.

Seeing that she had become like this after receiving a letter, Jinjin was a little worried, and trotted forward, as if she wanted to say something but never spoke.

Zhao Shuyu forced a bitter smile to let her not worry, and patted her head, and said to her, "Jinjin, can mother take you to your grandfather's house?"

There was still a bit of choking in her voice, and she couldn't hide it.

Jinjin nodded obediently.

Hualuoyangui moved very quickly, and soon everything was ready, just waiting for Zhao Shuyu and the others to get in the car.

Among the maidservants, Zhao Shuyu brought Hualuo Taohong to take care of her and Jinjin respectively, while Yangui stayed behind to look after the house.

Along the way, the carriage was rocking gently, and Zhao Shuyu's heart was also fluctuating. She only hated how the broken carriage was so slow. She felt that several hours had passed and why it hadn't arrived yet.

Seeing that she was so anxious, Jinjin carefully reached out and took her hand.

Zhao Shuyu was taken aback for a moment, thinking of his loving mother, his heart ached, and he leaned directly on Jinjin and began to cry.

Jinjin also panicked, she had never seen Zhao Shuyu crying like this before, she tilted her head and thought for a while, imitating how Zhao Shuyu comforted her back then, and gently patted Zhao Shuyu on the back.

Zhao Shuyu was really uncomfortable. At this moment, her heart ached as if pots of hot oil were pouring on it non-stop. My heart hurts, her mother who is so good, who loves her so much, who is obviously not yet 50 years old, why can't she die?

Zhao Shuyu always remembered that when she was a child, many of her playmates envied her very much. After all, her father loved her mother and elder brother, and she was always proud of it, thinking how lucky she was. Life is better, after all, in the books she has read, those princesses and princesses often go to get married, it is very pitiful.

For so many years, she never thought that there would be a day when she would lose these things. She, she should have spent more time with her mother, her mother.

It's not that she doesn't know that her mother has been very sad because of her elder brother's passing last year. For her parents, the most sad thing is that a white-haired person gave a black-haired person. It was her parents' first child. With all their hearts and minds, no matter how much they dote on and love their daughter, it seems that they are partial to the sky, but the eldest son is the most important thing in their hearts.

As a younger sister, she lost her elder brother, so she was naturally heartbroken. The elder brother who was seven years older than her spoiled her even more than her parents.

But the elder brother is the elder brother, and the son is the son, so her pain is naturally far less than that of her parents.

She thought that it was she, her second brother and sister, nephews and nieces who supported their parents to survive.

A month ago, when she saw that her mother had regained her previous look, she thought that her mother had gradually let go, but unexpectedly...

That's right, even her heart hurts like a knife every time she thinks that her elder brother has gone, how can her mother let go easily, but she never thought that now her mother actually has the posture to follow her elder brother.

For some reason, she thought of her husband and mother-in-law who had passed away for two years. Her husband, who had always been quite talented and famous at the beginning, was ridiculed because he failed the provincial examination. In the end, her mother-in-law, who had been widowed for many years and had only one son, couldn't stand the blow and got sick, so she followed her soon after.At that time, before her mother-in-law left, she held her hand and said bluntly that the Zhang family was sorry for her and asked her to remarry a good family.Alas, she is obviously the one who can't help the Zhang family even more. After being married for many years, she has not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter, which made the Zhang family go bankrupt.

Of course, she resented her husband a little bit. She was laughed at when she failed the exam, and she would pass the exam three years later. Why abandon her wife and mother, but she blamed herself even more.

She hadn't thought about these things for a long time, and had kept them all in her heart, and it felt like tearing open the scabbed scars again this time.

Fortunately, the pat on the back made her feel a little comforted.

The little girl she just met in her arms really cares about her inexplicably. Maybe in the heart of this silly girl like Jinjin, she is the whole world, which makes her feel at ease somehow.

Zhao Shuyu didn't know how long she cried, and finally fell asleep holding Jinjin when she was tired from crying.

Worried that Jinjin's small body would be exhausted, Hualuo reached out to pull Zhao Shuyu away from Jinjin and let Zhao Shuyu lie down on the carriage.

But Jinjin stopped her, "Don't... disturb her..."

Hua Luo had no choice but to retract her hand and sit quietly.

The carriage drove for about an hour before finally arriving at Zhao's house.

After hearing that it was the eldest lady who had returned, Mending hurriedly opened the door to let the carriage in, and immediately sent someone to notify the master and the young master.

After entering the house, Hualuo woke up Zhao Shuyu, and together with Taohong helped her and Jinjin get off the carriage.

Zhao Shuyu's father and second elder brother were still busy so naturally they would not run over to greet their daughter. Only Zhao Shuyu's sister-in-law Li Shi Ruiwen came to greet her. Zhao Shuyu's eldest brother, Zhao Lang, has made a baby marriage. He is half a year older than Zhao Lang. He is as beautiful as a flower, gentle and virtuous. It can be said that their family loves her very much. Zhao Shuyu was also very close to her when he was not out of the cabinet, and regarded her as a relative. Treat like a sister.

"Sister-in-law, tell me quickly! How is my mother doing?" Zhao Shuyu hurriedly stepped forward to hold Li Ruiwen's hand and asked when she saw Li Ruiwen.

Li Ruiwen patted the back of her hand to reassure her, "Sister, don't worry, I'll take you to see your mother right away."

Zhao Shuyu nodded, turned around and took Jinjin's hand, and followed Li Ruiwen.

Before entering Mrs. Zhao's Zou's room, Zhao Shuyu smelled a strong smell of medicine, which made the panic in her heart even worse.

After entering the door, Zhao Shuyu let go of Jinjin's hand and went straight to Zou's bed, kneeling and sitting on the ground beside the bed. She looked at the thin, sallow, old face on the bed, and couldn't believe it was her. mother.

Her mother was originally beautiful and dignified, she was nearly fifty years old and still looked like thirty people, although her family was rich, but after all, it was a family of merchants, others only felt that it was full of copper smell, not vulgar However, her mother has always been as noble as a first-class lady.

Thinking of Zou's once beautiful appearance, and comparing it to the present, she lay down on the edge of Zou's bed and burst into tears.

Suddenly, she felt a hand gently touch her head.

Then a very weak voice came from above her head: "Is my Ayu back?"

"Mother!" Zhao Shuyu suddenly raised his head, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and looked at Zou with a silly smile.

Mrs. Zou reached out with difficulty to touch her face, but she couldn't reach it. Seeing this, Zhao Shuyu immediately pulled Zou's hand over her face.

Looking at the youngest daughter whom she has always loved the most, the seriously ill Zou also had a smile on her face: "Ah Yu, it's good that mother can see you one more time before she dies."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuyu couldn't hold back the tears, and dripped on Zou's withered bamboo hands, "Mother, what are you talking about! You still want to look at Rui Er Can Er Marry a daughter-in-law, look at Yan'er getting married, you will live a long life, anyway, mother, you are not allowed to leave me..."

At the end, she was so crying that she was speechless. She sniffled and choked up, "At least... at least you have to wait for the second sister-in-law to give birth to the baby in your stomach. How can you not hug your grandson?" Well... Mother, you want to live to be a hundred years old! I will definitely not allow you to leave!!"

Mrs. Zou wiped away her tears gently with her fingers, and said softly: "You silly boy, mother is not a god, she will leave one day, and now it's just ahead of time. Mother has read your letter too , where is the Jinjin mentioned in your letter? Quickly call over and show your mother."

Zhao Shuyu nodded, gently put down Zou Shi's hand, turned around and waved to Jinjin who was standing stupidly.

"Jinjin, come here."

Seeing that Zhao Shuyu told her to trot over, Jinjin followed Zhao Shuyu's example and knelt down in front of the bed.

Zhao Shuyu pushed her lightly, "Jinjin, quickly call grandma."

Jinjin called obediently: "Grandmother."

"So cute." Zou Shi was still worried in her heart at first. Her daughter, spoiled by her husband and...the eldest son who died, has always been rather confused. She is a foolish girl, and she probably will have a lot of troubles in the future, but after seeing this well-behaved Jinjin, her heart is half relieved, at least her silly daughter will no longer be alone.

She turned her head to look at Zhao Shuyu again and said, "Ah Yu, this child is a bit stupid, but he looks quite obedient. Since you recognize her as a girl, treat her well. You child, you are more stubborn than a cow." , I am determined to live alone, we have nothing to do with you, do you know how much my mother has been worried about you, now seeing Jinjin by your side, my mother can feel at ease..."

The more Mrs. Zou spoke, the more she seemed to be explaining the funeral, and her voice became weaker and weaker. Li Ruiwen felt that her mother-in-law might be dying, so she burst into tears and hurriedly ordered someone to inform the master, the second young master and the children.

It didn't take long for Zhao Xuyao ​​and Zhao Chen to leave a lot of affairs behind and hurried over. The nannies also brought a few young masters and young ladies, and even Zhao Shuyu's pregnant second sister-in-law Yu Yixiang was also in a hurry Get someone to help her over.

Seeing her father coming, Zhao Shuyu hurriedly pulled Jinjin out of her seat.

Seeing his wife like this, Zhao Xuyao ​​couldn't help crying when he thought of his eldest son who died young.

Zou smiled weakly, "Axu, you...look at you, how old you are, and you still shed tears just like when you were a baby decades ago, I just go to find you first." That's all, A-Lang, that child, even if he is almost 30 years old, he still has to let me, a mother, take care of her..."

Her voice was getting softer, and it was getting harder and harder to speak.

When Zhao Xuyao ​​heard her call out what she called him when he was still young, he felt even more sentimental. He took his wife's hand and put it in his arms, holding it tightly, and said with a bit of sobs in his tone: "You, don't talk nonsense! You can rest for a few days, rest for a few days, and you will be fine..."

"Fool, my own body...I know it in my own mind...you let the children...come here...I think...I want...to see...to see...them again..."

Zhao Xuyao ​​nodded with tears in his eyes, and turned his head to let everyone who was standing quietly behind him with sad faces come over.

Zou half-opened her eyes and laboriously looked at everyone who was about to cry, daughter, son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and finally, she took another affectionate look at her husband who had been with her for thirty years. , the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, and he closed his eyes.

For a moment, everyone in the room burst into tears. Zhao Xuyao ​​held Fa's wife tightly in his arms, tears streaming down his face, but Jinjin was the only one who was still in a daze. Zhao Shuyu comforted silently, as if he still didn't understand what happened.
