"If you think my second uncle wants to have not only children but also grandchildren, then I can give birth."
"Didn't Second Grandpa's family have a child named Xia that Aunt Honglin gave birth to?"
"Aunt Honglin can do it, and so can I."
After saying this, Xia Qingmai turned to look at Sun Fugui, and seeing that his eyes were full of support, he continued: "We, husband and wife, have discussed this matter, and Fugui agrees."
As soon as Xia Qingmai said this, Sun Fugui nodded quickly.
He did agree to this. Although Shu Yan was not his biological son, his surname was Sun, and his parents didn't know it, so in their eyes, he already had a son.
He already has a son. If Qingmai gives birth to another child, and her surname is Xia, the elders in the family will feel uncomfortable at most, but it is an adoption to a martyr and a grandson to a martyr, so his parents will definitely agree.
Because he had carefully considered this matter, Sun Fugui nodded without hesitation.
The Xia family, who were frightened by Xia Qingmai's words, also reacted now.
"No! I don't agree!"
The first person to object was not the grandfather who had just talked a lot with Xia Qingmai, but the seventh grandfather who had a bad attitude towards Xia Qingmai from the beginning.
Xia Qingmai went to see his third uncle and his wife and his fourth uncle and his wife. Sure enough, their faces were not good either.
What surprised Xia Qingmai was that grandpa and grandma didn't seem to object that much.
Just when Xia Qingmai was confused, the grandfather looked at grandma and asked: "Fourth brother and sister, what do you think about this?"
As soon as the old lady heard what her eldest brother said, she immediately replied: "I have no objection to this matter. Whether it is adopting my nephew as a son for the second child or waiting for Qingmai to give birth to a grandson, I have no objection."
"We agreed at the beginning that half of the second son's savings and pensions over the years would go to me for retirement, and the other half would be left to his adopted children. As long as this remains unchanged, I have no problem with it."
The old lady could see clearly that although she regretted that her second son had no children, the child had been stubborn since he was a child and was not close to her.
But he is filial, the most filial among his sons.
Based on this alone, she would not object to what Qingmai proposed.
The second son likes Qingmai and wants her to be his daughter. What can she do?
But it was impossible to get her support.
She is already in her early sixties, how many years can she live?
When she dies, she doesn't care if anyone worships her. How much more does she care about her son?
Perhaps he already knew the temperament of this fourth sibling, so after hearing her words, the uncle was not surprised.
Thinking of his second brother's grandson who would inherit the family business, the grandfather was about to speak when Xia Qingmai spoke again.
"Since grandma mentioned this money, I have to say something in advance."
"I plan to use all the money given to me to support the Xia family's children in their studies."
"As long as they are descendants of the seven heads of the old Xia family in Xiajiawan, regardless of gender, who have no money to study because of poor family conditions, they can come to me to pay for their studies."
"Of course, I do not support their studies unconditionally. After they graduate and become capable, they must repay the favor of the family and support future generations of the family to continue their studies."
"In this way, generation after generation, the money my second uncle exchanged for his flesh and blood will be meaningful."
When Xia Qingmai spoke, the grandfather stood up excitedly on crutches.
When his eldest grandson came to help him, he waved him away.
Waiting for Xia Qingmai's last words to fall, he also walked up to Xia Qingmai.
"Qingmai, do you really mean what you say?"
Looking at the excited grandpa, Xia Qingmai nodded and promised: "Grandpa, I spit out every breath and nail it! You can inform the whole clan directly about this matter."
"The clan can also arrange for someone to supervise me. If I regret it, I will let you handle it."
Having said this, Xia Qingmai raised her hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corner of the grandfather's eyes, and then continued: "I think if my second uncle is still alive, he will definitely support me."
"He has told me more than once that you must study. Only by studying can you be successful."
"He likes me to study, but now that I have graduated from high school, I can use this money to help other children in the clan continue to study!"
"Grandpa, what do you think?"
The seventy-year-old old man's hands trembled with excitement because of Xia Qingmai's words. His dry and warm hands held Xia Qingmai's hand tightly and he said three good words in a row.
After waiting for these three people to finish speaking, he let go of Xia Qingmai's hand, leaned on his crutch and looked around the room of people with different expressions: "Inform the whole clan that my old man has something good to announce!"
Seeing his grandpa's happy face, Xia Qingmai knew that he had succeeded.
To be honest, she is not short of money.
Sun Fugui gave her a lot, and she also had many treasures in Ruian Palace.
But she didn't want to see her second uncle's considerable sum of money being coveted and squandered by the Xia family.
Rather than being remembered by others, it would be better for her to take the initiative to do something meaningful.
Use this money to support the Xia family's children in studying. As long as one of the ten children has the conscience to remember to give back to the family, then this can continue.
Only in this way can she truly be worthy of her second uncle.
"Qingmai, you did a good job!"
A voice came from behind, and Xia Qingmai turned around and met the eyes of Uncle Qin who looked excited.
Qin Shengli arrived when Shu Yan and Shu Yu were being carried out. When he heard this at the door of the hall, he felt deeply that the old squad leader was right about the child.
As soon as he spoke out his support, the grandpa who heard the movement was immediately helped over by his eldest grandson.
"Uncle Xia, do you still remember me?"
How could the uncle not remember Qin Shengli? When he came four years ago, he took away three boys from the Xia family.
These three boys are now serving as soldiers all over the world.
Seeing the grandpa nodding, Qin Shengli immediately looked at him and congratulated: "Congratulations to Uncle Xia, you have a grandson in your family. It is a blessing to the Xia family."
Qin Shengli remembered that the old squad leader said that his uncle had attended a private school for several years, so his elegant words must be to his liking.
The facts turned out to be exactly what Qin Shengli thought.
Facing Qin Shengli's praise, the grandfather was so happy that the wrinkles on his face doubled.
"The country provides good education, and children who read a lot have a broad horizon."
Qin Shengli agreed with this.
Although the country's current policies are somewhat different from those before, they still feel that the country will not continue like this.
If a country wants to develop, it still needs talents!
If you don't study, where will you find talents?
But Qin Shengli, who knew how much money the old squad leader had left, had to lament Xia Qingmai's courage and strategy.
If you are not timid towards the elders of the family and are beneficial to the future generations of the family, once the conditions are laid out, as long as the person speaking in this family is not stupid, they will definitely agree.
And if the children in Xiajiawan have a future, the family will naturally get better and better.
This is a good thing for building a family!
And Xia Qingmai gave up such a sum of money today, in exchange for not only her happiness, but also the gratitude of the Xia family.
Although many places don't pay much attention to family now, Qin Shengli, who was born before liberation, did.
Likewise, he knew that the old monitor also valued him.
It’s just that they will put the interests of the country first.
But today's matter has nothing to do with the interests of the country.
If this is the case, then he must be strongly supportive.
Feeling the joy of most people in the hall, Xia Qingmai looked at Sun Fugui subconsciously.
She is so bold today because of Sun Fugui's full support. Without his support, she would not be able to do this.
It seems that she did not marry the wrong person.
