219. Chapter 219: Adoption, You Unfilial Son

Qiao Hushui furrowed his brows, walked over to the eaves on one side: "Mother, what do you want to say to me?"

"You've been busy all day, aren't you tired? Sit down and speak."

Gao Shi greeted Qiao Hushui to sit down, and bluntly said: "It's like this, a sister from my village has a daughter who just became a widow; she plans to remarry. Don't look down on her being a widow—she has borne three sons. If you take her…"

His mother really does come up with one scheme after another.

"Mother, no need."

Qiao Hushui interrupted Gao Shi's words.

Gao Shi looked at him and said: "Are you afraid of Qiao Lianhua, that dead girl? You're her father; can she still boss you around? Don't you have any manliness left?"

"Mother, it has nothing to do with them; I just don't want to take a concubine."

Qiao Hushui said in a low voice.

Which man doesn't want three wives and four concubines?

Her son actually doesn't want to take a concubine!

Gao Shi was about to be angered to death by him: "Are you stupid? You'll have no son to see you off in the end, and you'll have times when you cry!"

Qiao Hushui rose and left without looking back.

Gao Shi, furious, began to scold him loudly.

That was when.

Bai Zhaodi, who had been eavesdropping on the side, came over and whispered: "Mother, if Third Brother really doesn't want to take a concubine, we can do this—our branch has two sons, right? We can adopt one over to him."

When the time comes.

All their family's property would then be theirs, wouldn't it?

Gao Shi isn't stupid either—how could she not know what Bai Zhaodi is scheming?

She snorted coldly and said: "You're thinking quite beautifully."

Seeing her say that.

Bai Zhaodi lowered her voice and said: "Mother, this is also a solution, isn't it? Besides, you dote on your two grandsons so much; you also want them to have a good life later, right? Once they're well off, don't you think they'll look after you, Grandma?"

Gao Shi thought it over and felt Bai Zhaodi was right.

The next morning.

Gao Shi called Qiao Hushui and told him about this.

Qiao Hushui had not yet expressed his stance.

Lan Yue Niang came over: "Mother, I've given birth to several daughters, but that doesn't mean I can't bear more. Even if I can't, I can still get my husband a concubine—why would we need to adopt a son?"

"You wicked woman, I can see you harbor ill intentions, wanting my son to have no heir! How could our family have taken in a daughter-in-law like you who's not even human!"

Gao Shi opened her mouth and began to scold Lan Yue Niang.

Qiao Hushui couldn't bear to listen anymore: "Mother, that's enough; if you keep spouting nonsense, I'll really ignore you from now on."

"You unfilial son…"

Gao Shi then turned to scold Qiao Hushui.

Lan Yue Niang had no mood to stay and listen to her scolding; she pulled Qiao Hushui, calling Qiao Lihua and the others, and they walked out of the gate.

Qiao Yinghua, held in Qiao Lihua's arms, is still asleep.

Afternoon.

Lan Yue Niang found an excuse, left the restaurant alone to find Feng Yi to take her pulse, to confirm she could still conceive; she needed to adjust her body, and she asked him how to regulate it.

Because Xia Yue had been treated well by him before.

Lan Yue Niang had noted him down, so she came to find him.

Feng Yi pursed his lips and said: "Madam, you're still nursing; you can't regulate your body now—you have to wait until you wean the child before adjusting, because some medicines affect the child."

Lan Yue Niang returned to the restaurant feeling somewhat disappointed.

Qiao Sheng noticed her oddness and asked: "Mother, what's wrong? You said you went out to buy cloth to come back and make clothes for my younger sister—why didn't you buy any?"

"I, I didn't take a liking to any."

Lan Yue Niang's excuse certainly doesn't hold up.

Qiao Sheng only felt that her mother had something on her mind; she took the moment when only she and Qiao Hushui were busy in the kitchen to ask him: "Father, did you upset Mother?" (End of chapter)
