Qian was also talking to Lao Zhoutou about Man Bao and Bai Shan. She whispered what Mrs. Liu said today and said: "I heard from the old lady that she wants to form a marriage with our family."

Lao Zhou frowned and asked, "Isn't their family too thin?"

Qian glanced at him and said: "I want to ask what Man Bao means clearly. If you want to talk about family background, our family is not as good as theirs. But what is commendable is that they are senior siblings and grew up together.

Growing up, I felt something special, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Bai also liked Manbao..."

In fact, when Mrs. Liu mentioned it, Mrs. Qian was already 80% willing.

She is a wife, and she knows how difficult it is for a woman to marry into a strange family.

Bai Shan and Man Bao are senior siblings. They grew up together and are very familiar with each other. Needless to say, she is also very familiar with the Bai family.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng also liked Manbao. She solved two major problems when she entered the house - she was not familiar with her husband and she was not familiar with her mother-in-law.

But Lao Zhoutou also had his own thoughts. He hesitated and said: "The Bai family is too wealthy. Can they be willing to give up a child named Xia?"

Qian raised his eyebrows high and asked, "Isn't your surname Zhou?"

Lao Zhou sat up, scratched his head and sighed: "During this period, I looked at so many people in the family and figured it out. The second child and his wife are buried next to my parents. In the future, we will die.

I have mentioned it to my boss and the others that we will be buried there. We will buy that land specifically for our family’s cemetery in the future.”

He said: "When the time comes, all our family members will be buried there, and Zuo is just doing the Qingming Festival, and there is no shortage of people to do it. But the Xia family is in ruins, and since the second son was married into the family, we can't cut off their incest.

"

Now it was Qian's turn to be surprised, "Aren't you unwilling to die for Man Bao to change his surname?"

Lao Zhoutou said: "Of course Manbao can't change her surname. This is the one we raised for the second child. She must have the surname Zhou, but we can't cut off the Xia family's incense, right? Otherwise, the second child will be seen underground in the future.

How can he explain this to his father-in-law and his mother-in-law? It won’t be easy for me to go to the field to see him in the future.”

It was also this time that Man Bao traveled far away and Lao Zhoutou could understand that now that Zhou Yin had been cleared of his grievances, he could visit people's graves openly and not be afraid of mentioning the past.

In the past two months, he had visited the couple's graves one after another, and gradually came back to his senses.

Man Bao was not at home, and they had always done the funerals for Zhou Yin and his wife, so as long as they were honest, there would be no shortage of people in the old Zhou family to do this.

Since the incense could continue, he no longer had any obsession with whether Man Bao's child would be named Zhou, so he began to think about other things.

Qian also understood.

To put it bluntly, Lao Zhoutou just couldn't bear to change Man Bao's surname. After all, he brought him up by himself. Even if he had figured out the matter of the next generation, he still hadn't figured out the matter of Man Bao.

But he was also afraid that Zhou Yin would break his promise and that he would not be able to live peacefully underground and that it would be difficult for him to meet Zhou Yin in the future, so he wanted Man Baoyun to give birth to a child named Xia, which would solve everything.

Qian looked at him and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's better to choose someone from a weaker family," Lao Zhoutou said, "It's easier for us to mention this matter."

Given the status of the Bai family, Lao Zhoutou was not very confident.

Qian was not very confident, but she did not make a conclusion directly, but said: "Let's ask Man Bao before we talk."

The dead are important, but so are the living. She always felt that the Bai family would be very kind to Man Bao, but she was a little reluctant to do so.

If you choose again, who knows if that person can be so good?

Lao Zhoutou stopped talking and lay down to sleep, but he couldn't sleep well all night. He dreamed of Zhou Yin, not Zhou Yin who returned home in fine clothes as an adult, nor Zhou Yin who was covered in blood, but Thirteen

Four years old, Zhou Yin's face turned pale due to hunger.

He tightened his belt and stood in front of the gate and said to him: "Brother, we have to keep our word. I said I would bring back the food and go back to work as an errand for the master. Then I have to go back. I promised to marry into the family, so I have to bring it back."

If the legacy of the Xia family is passed down, you said you would let Man Bao's child be named Xia..."

As he spoke, blood began to appear on Zhou Yin's body, and the man suddenly changed into the same appearance as when he was brought back, with blood and knife marks all over his body. There was a woman standing next to him, who was also covered in blood and looked at the old man.

Zhoutou.

Lao Zhou kicked his legs and woke up immediately.

He exhaled loudly, got up and saw that it was already dawn, and Qian who was sleeping inside had disappeared at some point.

He wiped the thin sweat from his forehead and felt that he must have drank too much yesterday and had such a dream.

But Lao Zhoutou is a very superstitious person. Even though he was comforting himself in his heart, he got up and bowed in front of the portrait of Master Tianzun, silently confessing his love in his heart. He would never forget it.

Outside the house, the adults of Lao Zhou's family were all standing up, and everyone was cleaning up yesterday's mess. Even though yesterday had been largely cleaned up, there was still a lot to do today.

The dishes and chopsticks that have been put away need to be washed out and returned to each house. The tables, chairs and benches also need to be returned. Most of the remaining dishes that can be divided yesterday have been divided, but there are still some left, which also need to be sorted...

Qian was sitting in Man Bao's room at this time, combing her hair and talking to her.

Qian had not combed Manbao's hair for a long time. She changed her hairstyle, picked two beaded flowers from her box and inserted them into her hair. She smiled and said, "Our Manbao has really grown up."

Man Bao smiled and looked back at his mother, "Mom, do you have something to tell me?"

Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to see her early in the morning.

Qian didn't know how to speak at first, but when she met her clear eyes, the insinuations she had prepared all night were of no use.

She smiled, pulled up a chair and sat across from her, touched her head and said, "Man Bao, Mrs. Liu mentioned you and Bai Shan to me yesterday."

Man Bao blinked in confusion.

Qian said: "She said that you are not young anymore, so she wants to beg you for Bai Shan."

Man Bao reacted immediately and turned slightly red.

Seeing the reaction on her face, Qian was already worried, but still asked, "What do you mean?"

Man Bao was about to say listen to her parents, but when she saw Qian's serious face, she couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean by mother?"

Qian said with a smile: "The Bai family is naturally good. Our two families know each other well. Your biological parents and Bai Shan's father have such a connection. You and Bai Shan grew up together, but..."

She paused and then said: "It's just that your father thinks that the Bai family is very small, and your maternal grandfather's family has no descendants. He is absolutely reluctant to let you change your surname. He just wants your children to have the same surname as your maternal grandfather, which is considered complete."

In line with your parents’ wishes and faith.”

Man Bao was stunned: "My father still wants me to marry him?"

"There's no need to recruit a new wife. Just like your sixth brother, it's fine if the child you give birth to has a surname."
