Chapter 79 On the Feasibility of Adoption

After Zhang Xingwang finished speaking, he saw that the aunt had reacted, so he struck while the iron was hot and continued to say according to the routine in the novel:

"Auntie, you and Uncle are not that old. In my opinion, you should find a child to adopt. After all, you have feelings for the child you raise yourself. As the old saying goes, the grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to a child. There is always some truth in that."

After hearing this, the aunt started talking to Zhang Xingwang as if Boya met Ziqi. The two of them also changed from standing and chatting to sitting on the floor.

A series of discussions were held, from the possibility of raising a son to the age and gender of the adopted child. The aunt was originally worried that when the child grew up, the family would come to find him and it would be a waste of time. As a result, Zhang Xingwang waved his hand and said nonchalantly:

"This is not a big deal. Just go to the street office. There are so many people fleeing, and there are a lot of orphans.

You can easily find a suitable one and just raise it well. Besides, your family, Lao Yi, is not short of money. If one doesn’t work, you can get two. If two doesn’t work, you can get three. You can’t have all of them be ungrateful.”

"I have mentioned it several times, but your uncle didn't agree. Alas! It's my fault that I don't have the ability to leave a descendant for the Yi family."

"It's a new era now, women can hold up half the sky. Besides, if you adopt a child, you will be the one taking care of him, and he can't do much.

If you have your own children, at least you will have someone in mourning when you die. When you look at the deaf old lady, you can think of your future self.

I have to say a few words to you. You take care of the old lady's three meals a day, and you also take care of the house. The old man has injured his leg again, and you still have to take care of him.

If you keep going like this, you won’t be able to wait for retirement, and you’ll probably die before the old lady.”

The aunt was instantly moved after hearing this. After saying a few words, she prepared to go back and cook with excitement.

Zhang Xingwang reminded her again not to tell Jia Zhang, otherwise she might even cause trouble. The aunt nodded vigorously to show that she understood.

I thought to myself, let alone Jia Zhangshi, even Old Yi would wait until the adopted child came back before telling him. I also sighed that Zhang Xingwang was a very insightful child.

After chatting, Zhang Xingwang went home to cook, thinking that Yi Zhonghai might be too busy to take care of himself this time. However, if this thing succeeds, the Jia family will be in trouble.

When I got home, the little girl had already moved her small stool and sat at the kitchen door. Now watching Zhang Xingwang cook and perform magic tricks every day has become the little girl's favorite program.

Zhang Xingwang has now started to skillfully pick out the meat and start cooking. It must be said that he does have some talent for cooking.

It's only been a few days, but his movements are so smooth and fluid, and he finishes everything in one go. The dishes he cooks according to the recipe are all well-presented, colorful, and fragrant.

While Zhang Xingwang was working hard at cooking, he saw through the hole in the kitchen that a deaf old lady was walking out slowly with a cane and a gloomy face.

When he reached the kitchen door, he said to Zhang Xingwang helplessly:

"Boy from the Zhang family, you have to prepare a meal for the old lady today. After the meal, we can talk about the house."

When Zhang Xingwang heard that this was a good thing, he immediately agreed.

Suddenly, Qin Huairu came in slowly from the courtyard gate, carrying a large bowl and a big belly. She nodded to Zhang Xingwang as a greeting, and then smiled and said to the deaf old lady:

"Grandma, just as you said yesterday, my mother specially bought some meat today. It's already cooked and she asked her to bring it to you. Please eat it while it's hot."

When Mrs. Long heard this, she smiled brightly, and shook her head at Zhang Xinwang with a sneer on her face. Then she turned around and went into the house with Qin Huairu, smiling brightly.

Zhang Xingwang watched the deaf old lady's performance without any emotion. It seemed that the deaf old lady not only overestimated herself, but also underestimated the power of the necromancer.

Without caring about anything else, Zhang Xingwang called the two women in the family to start eating. Sure enough, when they finished their meal and were ready to take a nap.

Through the window, I saw Old Mrs. Long hurriedly going out, leaning on a cane and with a hunched back.

An hour had passed since he left, and he still hadn't returned. Just when Zhang Xingwang was about to fall asleep, he heard a panicked shouting coming from the middle courtyard.

He stood up, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and ran out to see what was happening. He saw several aunts gathered at the door of Jia's house and were helping a deaf old lady forward.

The deaf old lady looked pale and weak. Grandma Liehuo was possessed and started to scold Jia Zhang. After listening for a long time, she understood.

As expected, it was the friendly forces that stepped in and helped Zhang Xingwang, and he lived up to his title as a great wizard by attacking right at his face.

It is said that when Jia Zhang was buying meat today, there were only some scraps left at the meat stall. She saw that this was not good enough and the old lady couldn't eat it, so she had to come and make a fuss.

Just as she was thinking about it, suddenly an old man came out from the side with something wrapped in his hand, and asked Jia Zhang with a shrewd look, "Do you want a pheasant?" Jia Zhang asked the old man to open it and see, and it turned out to be a half-grown pheasant, weighing less than one pound.

The problem was that it looked like it had been stored for a long time, and when it was opened, it smelled a bit rotten. Jia Zhang thought that the old lady was going to eat it.

Besides, this one must be cheap, and I can save a little to buy a pig's trotter for my son. I didn't care about that and started bargaining with the old man.

The old man also went through a lot of trouble to bring the pheasant, but everyone shook their heads when they saw it, and no one wanted it. After meeting Jia Zhang, he sold it to her at a cheap price of 3 cents.

When Qin Huairu saw the pheasant after returning, she said to Jia Zhang uneasily:

"Mom, this chicken is rotten. I'm afraid you'll have diarrhea if you eat it."

"I know. I'm not giving it to you. Why are you asking so many questions? Just stew it for a while and it will be fine. When it's done, send it to the deaf old lady. She's crying for meat. Just give it to her. It's up to her whether she wants to eat it or not."

Qin Huairu was about to speak after hearing this, but Jia Dongxu next to her spoke up and said impatiently:

"Just do whatever mom says, why think so much."

As a result, when the deaf old lady was eating, she kept muttering that the girl Jia Zhang couldn't even cook a chicken, and that she put so much vinegar in the food, making it sour and wasting a good thing.

But soon after I finished eating, my stomach started to growl. It hurt so much that I broke out in sweat.

The old lady covered her stomach and trotted to the toilet, finally making it there.

I won't talk about the rapid flow, the problem is what to do if I can't stop. I finally finished half an hour later and stood up, my legs were weak.

He leaned against the wall and thought that there was something wrong with Jia Zhang's chicken. He could not tolerate this, so he immediately went to Jia's house and prepared to knock on two pieces of glass to hear a sound.

Who knew that, let alone knocking on the glass, as soon as he reached the door, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground. He was not injured, but he almost hit someone's door.

The old lady was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. After struggling for two times and failing to stand up, she had to change her plan. The level 2 Fiery Grandma possessed her again and started to output crazily with her mouth, which attracted the attention of the aunties in the yard.

That’s not all, the aunt next to me also said:

It is said that Jia Zhang came to his husband's house at noon and told him that the old lady would definitely not be able to finish two steamed buns in one meal, so she could just give him one in the future.

The disciples and grandchildren of Old Yi in his family did not have enough to eat every day, but Yi Zhonghai did not say anything, obviously tacitly agreeing.

After hearing this, the deaf old lady cursed even more vigorously, but the louder she cursed, the less confident she seemed.

After Zhang Xingwang understood what happened, he couldn't help but sigh. It had to be a great wizard. Just a slight move was enough to achieve results that were better than all his battles in the past few days.
