Chapter 140 Adoption(1/2)

The weather has turned colder, not only the mountains and fields have changed colors, but people have also put on autumn clothes.

The old man is nearly 70 years old and is wearing a relatively thick cotton shirt and sweater vest. Although his hair and beard are all white, he is already looking old, but his body is still straight.

A person's spirit can often show a person's personality. It can be seen that this is a knowledgeable and well-educated old man, not like an ordinary forest ranger. It is just that his face is full of vicissitudes and exhausted, which makes him look like he is so strong that he can only hold on.

In ancient times, medical science was not divided. People who studied metaphysics could often use medical knowledge to deceive people, analyze the other party's situation from the aspects of a person's complexion, expression, and movements, and make some general inferences to let the other party take a look.

Lu Ze inherited a lot of things from the Yaolu, and he also mastered the skills of observing people's inside from the outside. He only took a few glances and realized that the old man was full of worries and was obviously not willing to sell this mountain.

Lu Ze is not someone who loves to ask others about his personal affairs. He has come here, so he plans to take a look before talking about it.

Recalling the information I had read before, Lu Ze nodded and said, "I heard that there is a seedling cultivation base at the foot of the mountain. Can you take us there first?"

The old man paused and responded, and silently led Lu Ze and the two of them toward the seedling base.

It is said to be a seedling base, but it has been abandoned for several years, with weeds surrounding it and no one repaired it, and it looks very desolate.

When he walked to the gate of the seedling base, the old man stopped and looked at the rusty old sign with a look of melancholy. There was a deep sadness and sadness between his eyebrows, and he said to Lu Ze: "This is the lifelong effort of my wife. She left several years ago, but I couldn't save it."

Before Lu Ze and Pei Shuyao could speak, they heard a loud noise from the entrance. If you listen carefully, you could hear that there were men and women inside, and their voices were high and exciting.

"Dad, he really wants to sell this mountain"

"Why is the mountain left by my mother? We also have one, why should I sell it myself?"

"That bastard loses money by himself. If someone wants to chop up his hands, he will chop up his hands. If you want to demolish his house, he will demolish his house. I don't agree to pay all the money back to him."

"That's right, gambling debts are bottomless pits. We can still sell them this time. What can we sell next time we have to stop dad."

"Even if you want to sell it, we can only get points for the money you sell."

"Dad has never done business with anyone in his life, so he might be deceived. Let's find a buyer."

"These old camphor trees on the mountain are worth a lot of money. Last time I wanted to do it, but I didn't cut it. Before selling this time, I'd better cut all the good wood on the mountain first, but don't take advantage of others."

This group of people discussed it all the time, and the center means that the mountain can be transferred to others. If the wood on the mountain is cut first, they have to share the money evenly; the seller has to pick out the high price, and they have to share the money evenly.

The old man listened to the conversation outside through the grass and trees, his face turned red, and he was obviously angry.

When he got angry, the old man's expression became depressed.

"My wife, why are you leaving?" The old man sighed at the signboard of the seedling cultivation base, with a sad face.

It is said that his wife and his wife are the ones who are old. He and his wife have no children all their lives. Although they have regrets, they do not force them. Instead, they adopt and support many children.

His salary and his wife's seedling base are almost all used to support children who cannot afford to go to school, and the rest is to provide adopted children and adopted daughters.

But once there are more children, it will be difficult to raise.

He is engaged in literary research and has been dealing with books all his life. His salary is not very high. He doesn't understand the worldly styles very well. He doesn't even understand how to communicate with children, let alone educate them well.

When the wife was alive, the children would get together from time to time, and the family seemed to be happy.

But after his wife died of a heart attack, the whole family scattered.

The second year after his wife passed away, one adopted son left with the money, and then another adopted son took the original order of the seedling base contracted elsewhere. Not long after, the seedling base could not be operated.

The adopted son and daughter come to the door again and again, saying that the seedling base can no longer hold on anyway, so it is better to transfer it out and everyone will divide the money.

Legally speaking, although adopted children have no blood relationship with them, they are also legal parents and children, and have the right to separate the inheritance left by their wives.

However, he occupies a large part of this mountain and seedling base. If he doesn't sign it, no one can transfer it.

This time, an adopted son was addicted to gambling. He lost all the money he had allocated, but he also owed a lot of gambling debts.

The old man also knew that betting on this thing was a bottomless pit, and after paying it back, he waited in front of him countless times.

But the adopted son was chased by someone to go to the door and threatened to shoot his hands and smash the house. Can he still watch others force his adopted son to death?

Thinking of his wife's love for this "youngest son" the most during her lifetime, the old man was helpless and sighed.

After reselling the mountain, he might not be enough to pay off the gambling debts. It might be enough for him to sell the property under his name.

When he loses his savings and property, these "children" will not come to him again.

He remembered every tree on the mountain clearly, which he and his wife had carefully seen while walking in the forest again and again.

At that time, my wife's eyes were shining, and she told him about the fact that she ran to the mountains every day when she was a child. This mountain was a memory and a thought for her. She worked so hard to make money to protect it for decades with her own efforts.

His wife is a gentle and kind person. She loves mountains, water, flowers, trees, and every child.

But not all kindness can be rewarded. The children she once loved immediately focused on her lifelong efforts after her death.

This made the old man doubt whether his wife's kindness was a mistake.

But if I do it again and see that these children are homeless and have no school to go to, my wife will still make the same choice.

The old man smiled at Lu Ze and the others apologized.

He recently expressed his intention to transfer this mountain. This time Lu Ze came to see the mountain as an old friend helped him, saying that the young man who wanted to contract this mountain was named Lu Ze, who recently did a world-renowned myocardial regeneration project.

His wife died of a sudden myocardial infarction. The old man had a good impression of this young doctor, who was said to be very young, and thought it would be great if the mountain could be transferred to such a person.

Unexpectedly, the adopted son and daughter would come to hear the news.

The older generation still pays attention to family sluts and does not make public. No matter how ugly it is at home, they do not want to tear each other apart.

As a result, Lu Ze and the others hit him.

While the old man was silent, the middle-aged people also came over.

The old man looked at them blankly.

When a few middle-aged people saw that the old man looked wrong, they knew that they had heard what they said just now, and there was a flash of embarrassment on their faces.

But it just flashed away, and more were gone.

One of the middle-aged women wearing rose-red coats came forward and said, "Dad, I heard that someone is going to see the mountain today, so we will come and have a look."

While speaking, her and the others' eyes fell on Lu Ze and Pei Shuyao.

Seeing their appearance, several middle-aged people were stunned. After deducing their age, their eyes lit up.

It's so nice to coax young people who are not very experienced in the world

Judging from the appearance, demeanor and dress of the two people, maybe the rich and leisure-loving rich second generation wants to play around with it.

If such a fat sheep is not slaughtered, who will they slaughter?

Several middle-aged people looked at each other and all came forward diligently to talk to Lu Ze and the others, pushing the old man aside.

Lu Ze didn't talk much and listened quietly to their speechless introduction.

First, I said that this seedling base was once glorious and provided several gardens and trees in large parks, which made the city's top leaders praise it.

Then he said that the trees on the mountain were very old and my mother took good care of them when she was alive, and there was no evil tree in the mountain.

Finally, it also stated that there are many types of wild flowers and weeds on the mountain, and maybe there are some rare species.

After hearing this, Lu Ze and Pei Shuyao felt that the mountain was indeed a good mountain, and the old man's wife was indeed a capable and kind person during her lifetime.

The elderly, adopted children and adopted daughters, actually know the value of this mountain. However, they do not have working capital and management talent, and secondly, no one else will be satisfied with the big one, so they simply want to sell it and share the money.

Originally, these were planning to collect all the trees on the mountain first and then sell them to squeeze out all the value, but after seeing them, they changed their minds and thought that they would directly pay a high price to take away the trees on the mountain without having to work hard to harvest them.

"We know what you said." Seeing that the old man and his adopted sons and daughters were still talking nonstop to find ways to raise the price, Lu Ze said politely, "Let's go up the mountain first and then talk about the specific transfer matters."

Pei Shuyao nodded: "We have several options. This is the first place we have seen. Let's go up the mountain to see. We are preparing to grow herbs. The trees on this mountain are growing well and may not be suitable for growing herbs."

When they heard what Lu Ze and Pei Shuyao said, the middle-aged men and women looked at each other and said nothing more, for fear that if they continued to talk about it, these two seemingly innocent fat sheep would be scared away by the transfer price.

Knowing that they must be present when signing the contract, the old man's adopted son and daughter did not insist on following up the mountain. They were all in their early forties and it was a bit difficult to climb the mountain, so they would rather let the old man take the people to see it themselves.

The old man who had been squeezed outside was squeezed back to Lu Ze and Pei Shuyao.

Lu Zexian looked at the seedling base. Although it was abandoned and the equipment was emptied, the basic layout was still there. After a little repair, it can be used to cultivate herb seedlings, which is very convenient.

After looking at the seedling base, the rest is looking at the mountains.

When I arrived on the mountain, I found that although this was not a scenic spot, I had carefully designed the mountain along the way according to the mountain. The road was easy to walk on, and the trees were obviously pruned and transplanted. The layout was natural and clever. It can be seen that this was the retirement place prepared by the two elderly people for themselves.

But it was just that it was too sudden that the two of them were unprepared for this. One did not explain the matters of the seedling cultivation base well, and the other had never thought about how to take over everything left by his wife.

Lu Ze and Pei Shuyao followed the old man to the mountain and were very satisfied with the situation on the mountain. Many forests could be used without cutting down. They planted some shade-loving medicinal materials, such as many ginseng, which are suitable for growing under the forest. As for the trees that must be moved, Lu Ze has already arranged a place for them: their private libraries and laboratories have basically been renovated, but the greening has not been done well yet, so it should be very good to dig some old trees to transplant them.

Lu Ze talked about the preliminary plan for the mountains and forests to the elderly.

Simply put, it will not destroy too much of the original vegetation, and it will allow them to continue to grow elsewhere if they have to be removed.

The old man's eyes couldn't help but feel wet when he heard Lu Ze's words.

The children who were adopted by his wife were all thinking about sharing the money. The two young children in front of him were obviously outsiders, but they were willing to protect the forest for his wife.

Other people's children are so good, but their own looks. Is it really that they can't teach their children

Thinking of his dullness and taciturnness, the old man sighed and couldn't help but hate his character.

After walking for so long, the old man was a little tired. He sat down on a stone while resting and talking to Lu Ze and the others.

Although Lu Ze and Pei Shuyao were considerate and didn't ask anything, he couldn't help but talk about what happened over the years, and what happened after his wife's death, and finally couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

Lu Ze and Pei Shuyao kept listening patiently.

Funding students or such things does not necessarily mean that you can get the results you want.
