Fast Traveling Underworld Wish Department

Chapter 138
Wanyu's little loli felt that her tears seemed to be growing more and more, and she couldn't wipe them clean, so she couldn't help it.She was wronged and worried, she was a bad boy, would mother dislike her?

Wan Yu quietly raised her eyes to look at her mother, who was looking at her tenderly, she blushed, and slipped into her mother's arms again.

Li Shuzhen waited until Wanyu's emotions calmed down a little and her tears could be controlled before she comforted her, "Wanyu will always be my parents' treasure, even if I have a younger brother, don't worry, trust me, okay?"

Wanyu didn't say anything, and Li Shuzhen continued: "And my younger brother is not here to compete with Wanyu for her mother, but to join our family. There will be one more person who loves Wanyu in the future. Isn't Wanyu happy?"

Li Shuzhen thought that these words could persuade Wanyu. After all, little Lolita hadn't experienced the feeling of being jealous with her younger brother. She should be happy when she heard that there would be another younger brother who loved her.

As a result, Wanyu simply got out of her arms, turned her back to her, and said in a muffled voice: "Mother said before that my daughter is also very good, why do we have to have a younger brother to protect us? Wanyu can also Protect mother."

Li Shuzhen thought about it, and it seemed that this was what she said when she comforted Wanyu to get over the pain of losing her father.As far as she is concerned, she certainly feels that men and women are the same, but the problem is that in such an era, it is almost impossible to shake its deep-rooted laws.

She was silent for a moment, searching in her mind for which words she should use to tell Wanyu.

Wan Yu hurriedly turned around and asked, "Did mother lie to me? Mother doesn't believe that Wan Yu can protect mother, so she wants younger brother to protect her?"

Listening to Wan Yu's words, Li Shuzhen felt that she couldn't keep silent any longer. After thinking about it, she still answered Wan Yu seriously, and didn't treat her like a child.

Li Shuzhen said: "Wanyu, of course my mother believes that you can protect me. In fact, you have helped my mother a lot during this period." After speaking, she paused before continuing, "But, Wanyu , the rule of this era is that every family needs a male."

These words were a bit cruel, and Li Shuzhen paused again, "If there is no male in any family, they can only live with others, or be exterminated. Wanyu doesn't know what it means to exterminate a family, right? To exterminate a family is to kill that family. All the property of the family is taken away, and the woman of that family can only be kicked out."

Wan Yu said: "But we have not been kicked out."

Li Shuzhen stared at Wanyu, "This is because my mother donated property to the imperial court. They are temporarily forced to endure by the imperial power, but these are all temporary. Maybe we can wait until we finish our filial piety, or maybe we can't. As long as the emperor does not Pay attention to us, the Lin family is the fat in other people’s mouths.”

"Will it be okay if I have a younger brother?"

"No, it will just give them one less excuse, and the government will support us in safeguarding our own interests."

Li Shuzhen talked a lot with Wanyu. Wanyu saw a different side of the world for the first time. She felt even more aggrieved and resentful. Wiping away her tears, she asked: "Shouldn't girls be born? They might as well not have them." It’s okay to have a daughter, but all you want is a boy.”

Li Shuzhen regretted telling Wanyu everything so straightforwardly, but Li Shuzhen thought that maybe if she had another chance, she would do it anyway. She couldn't tell which was sadder, dying standing or living on her knees.

Li Shuzhen said to Wanyu: "Wanyu, my daughter, when you grow up a little, if you still feel resentful, mother will teach you to take another road. That road is very difficult, and no one has ever walked it before. Wanyu needs to work very hard, and maybe she may not be able to reach the end."

Wan Yu didn't quite understand what her mother meant, so she asked nonchalantly, "Then can our family not be protected by a boy?"

Li Shuzhen smiled, and she said: "Yes, that way, boys and girls are the same."

"Then I will go that way." The little girl said firmly.

"Wait until you grow up to decide."

A few months later, a group of people arrived at the Lin family's land, and the new patriarch stood in front to greet them.Li Shuzhen took Wanyu out of the car, and the patriarch's wife immediately came over to apologize and said with a smile: "You're here, we're all looking forward to it."

The clan leader also said: "The suitable children in the clan are ready. You can go and see them when you are free. They are all very well-behaved."

Li Shuzhen said with a smile: "The patriarch is here, we may have to stay for a few more days this time."

"Okay, the clan cleared up an empty house, and you are the ones who settled down. This is Zhiyuan's daughter, right? She's so good."

Li Shuzhen pulled Wanyu over and asked her to call someone, Wanyu obediently called, and asked the patriarch and the others to praise her.

After a long journey, they took a day off.On the second day, Li Shuzhen went to see those suitable children, and the patriarch put them all in a yard to eat, drink and do things together.

The patriarch introduced: "These children have no relatives, so I raised them here as a helper for the clan."

Li Shuzhen complimented the patriarch, and then turned to look at the children. There were five children in total, the oldest was eight years old, and the youngest was only a little older, looking like he was only one or two years old.

Li Shuzhen said, "Is that child 8 years old?"

The patriarch paused and said, "That's the grandson of a previous patriarch, and there is no one in his family."

"What about the little one?"

The patriarch said: "His father fell to his death on the mountain, and his mother remarried. If he can't take him with him, he can only be put in the clan."

Li Shuzhen asked the other children again. Although they had read the information beforehand, it was still different from seeing it with their own eyes.

Li Shuzhen looked at it for a few more days, but she still couldn't find one that she was satisfied with. Originally, she wanted to find a younger one for adoption. The identity is not appropriate anymore.

Li Shuzhen asked the patriarch, "Are all the children without parents here?"

Of course not, the patriarch said: "These are the most suitable ages for adoption."

Li Shuzhen said: "It's not an adoption, it's a son-nephew adoption. As long as he has a conscience and is not a white-eyed wolf, it doesn't matter how old he is."

The patriarch thought for a while, suddenly thought of a child, and decided to help him, he said: "There is a child, he is quite a good person, but he is a bit old, and there are some troubles in his family."

The boy mentioned by the patriarch is Lin Damu, who is 13 years old this year. A 13-year-old boy was already an adult in ancient times, but his parents left early, and he lived with his grandparents and uncles. His life was not good and he was malnourished. People believed him when he was seven or eight years old.

This is where the patriarch said the trouble was. The 13-year-old boy was already a strong laborer, and his family might not be willing to let him go.But Li Shuzhen doesn't find this difficult. For those who like to take advantage, money can definitely make them relax.

Li Shuzhen said: "I'll go back and think about it, and I'll give the patriarch an answer later."

This is as it should be, and the patriarch naturally agreed.

However, the clan leader probably told Lin Damu in advance. When Li Shuzhen returned, she found that Lin Damu was waiting at the door. What did she want to do?
Li Shuzhen asked out.Lin Damu was startled when he heard a voice behind him, turned around and saw Li Shuzhen, and shouted: "Auntie."

Li Shuzhen asked: "Did you come to my house for business?"

Lin Damu begged: "Auntie, I heard from the patriarch that you want to adopt me. Can you adopt me? I will be obedient and I can do anything."

Li Shuzhen said with a smile: "You should know that the adoption is only for the younger ones. You are so old, I'm afraid it won't work."

Lin Damu hesitated for a moment, then knelt down, Li Shuzhen's face sank, thinking that he wanted to kidnap her morally, if so, she would let him know what it meant to be powerful.

Then Lin Damu said: "Auntie's family is still short of servants? I can do everything, chop wood and carry water, cook and wash clothes. I will do whatever Auntie says. Can Auntie take me away? Please!"

Li Shuzhen could feel Lin Damu's despair, she said: "You would rather be a slave and follow me, why?"

Lin Damu was probably afraid that the only life-saving straw was gone, so he didn't hide it.Only then did Li Shuzhen know that Lin Damu's family decided to send him to the palace as a eunuch.Li Shuzhen was stunned. The Lin family isn't so poor. Send a 13-year-old boy to be a eunuch?

Li Shuzhen comforted Lin Damu, and then handed over the matter to the patriarch.At the same time, she also sent someone to investigate. Lin Damu is indeed a good person. Although he has nothing, he will repay those who have helped him with labor.

From this point of view, he is indeed a good boy.
