After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

"Are you all full? What are you doing gathered here?"

The old village chief came over panting, and when he saw this situation, he almost couldn't breathe.

He pointed at Fang Tong and said, "What are you doing? Hurry up and grab him!"

Everyone then scrambled to grab the rope, but Fang Tong was still struggling and "unwilling" to let go.

When Mr. Fang saw the village chief coming, he quickly said, "Village chief, my unfilial son married into another family, not only does he not recognize me as his father, but he also comes to cause trouble for his eldest brother!"

He wanted to say something else, but the clever Fang Nanzhi turned around, ran straight to the village chief, hugged his thighs and cried.

"Grandpa Village Chief! Please save my father! They are trying to steal my brother's recipe and are forcing my father to have no way to survive."

The little girl was also pretending to cry at the beginning, but she was more tearful than her father. She had been acting out this scene for too long, so even though she was pretending to cry, her eyes and nose were red.

The old village chief couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw it. The seven-year-old child was crying like this, which showed that he had suffered a great injustice!

He knew what kind of person Mr. Fang was. This was not the first time he had seen him. He did not expect him to say anything fair, so he just pretended not to hear what he said.

"Okay, stop crying, your dad is fine!"

While coaxing the child, he sternly said to the villagers, "Hurry up, hurry up! Get away from each other! Then tell me what's going on!"

After a while of chaos, the Fang family stood at the door, Fang Tong stood in front of the villagers, and the village chief stood in the middle, looking at both sides.

"Say it now!"

Upon hearing this, both sides were about to speak, and the old village chief quickly added: "Alright! Speak one by one, Fang Tong first!"

Fang Tong wiped his face and said, "Uncle Village Chief, you know that I collect chestnuts in the whole village. Everyone knows it too. My family's business is not easy, but my father asked me to pay for my eldest brother's education..."

He recounted the quarrel that took place at the door. Fang Jin and the old man of the Fang family tried to interrupt him several times, but were stopped by the village chief's gaze.

After he finished speaking, it was Fang Jin and Old Man Fang's turn to speak, and they said the same things.

With the additions from the surrounding villagers, the old village chief finally understood the whole story. His expression was no better than when he first arrived, and he looked at the Fang family gloomily.

"Lao Fang, how do you manage to be a father? The little property you have is all used to support your eldest son. Now your third son is marrying into the Qin family, and all the money he gets as a wife belongs to you. It's just like marrying off a young daughter-in-law. Look at which family would let their daughter go back to support her parents after they marry off. Do you still want to make a living?"

When the village chief said this, the others also thought the same thing.

"Yeah, everyone's busy. We can't just let the Qin family go just because they don't have any elderly people!"

"This guy, even if he didn't marry into the family, his son is already married, but he hasn't heard of the ancestral recipe of his daughter-in-law's family. He even has to subsidize the husband's family to support his uncle's studies. He really doesn't treat people as human beings..."

"Women can still give birth, but this Third Brother Fang can't, and he brought a child with him to marry into the Qin family. It's good enough that Feng Ping didn't say anything. Does this old Fang want to take advantage of the Qin family?"

Having been from the same village for so many years, what he said really touched people's hearts. The Fang family members turned pale with anger, but how could they refute so many onlookers with just a few words?

Seeing that everyone was speaking in his favor, Fang Tong tried his best to add fuel to the fire, with a look of misery on his face.

"Village chief, fellow villagers, I can't live like this with a father's family like this!"

Father's house?

Everyone was stunned by this statement. They had never heard of it before, although they understood what he meant.

He held his daughter in his arms and kept begging the village chief to make the decision for him, and the village chief heard him.

But hadn't he already made the decision? He said it was the Fang family's fault!

Fang Tong wanted to make the decision, not just a few words of scolding? Didn't he cry, make a fuss, or even hang himself? That was for a big purpose.

Seeing that the old village chief didn't understand, he continued to hint: "Village chief, it's not my father's fault that he favors my eldest brother. After all, he has many sons, we are three brothers, and I only have one daughter. That's why my father doesn't like her."

"But I'm a useless person and I can't do any housework. What's the point of having me as my father's son?"

The old village chief was stunned for a moment, then when he met his rapidly blinking eyes, he suddenly reacted.

Speaking of this old man Fangtou, he had a younger brother who died in his prime. He never got married and had no children.

When Old Master Fang was still alive, he always wanted to adopt a son for his youngest son who passed away early.

It just so happened that his eldest son was destined to have many sons and grandsons, but he gave birth to three sons in a row. When he had this idea, he loved his little grandson Fang Tong especially.

I wanted to leave it to my son who died early to start a family.

However, Old Man Fang did not agree to the adoption, so there was no movement, and the matter was not accomplished until the old man passed away.

From what he heard, he wondered if Fang Tong was thinking about this right now?

The old village chief was unsure. After thinking for a long time, he felt that it would be okay to help the third brother at this time.

"Well, Old Fang, if you really don't want this son, why not give him away?"

When Mr. Fang heard this, he jumped up and down: "Village Chief, what are you talking about? Why would I adopt a son?"

Who would complain about having too many sons?

The village chief said matter-of-factly, "Have you forgotten that when your father was still alive, he kept talking about it every day?"

The skin on Old Man Fang's face began to tremble. "Impossible! I didn't agree to this before, and I absolutely cannot agree to this now!"

"Why don't you agree? You've already made the third son a son-in-law. He's already a member of the Qin family. From now on, your eldest son will be there for you to do anything."

Logically speaking, when Fang Tong married into their family, they had already removed his name from the family tree, which could be understood as severing the relationship, but it was also equivalent to marrying off their daughter.

After all, generally speaking, girls are not included in the family tree.

Judging from the Fang family's behavior in recent times, it is obvious that they did not regard it as a severance of the relationship.

At this time, only by being adopted out can one completely get rid of the oppression of the Fang family's parents' status.

Fang Jin frowned. Even if others couldn't understand what the third brother said just now, how could he not understand it?

It wasn't the village chief who wanted to bring up the adoption, it was the third brother's own idea.

"Village chief, my father gave birth to the third child. He can't be born to someone else's family as a son when he's already this old. He's been dead for so long, what's the point of having a son?"

The old village chief said with a forced smile: "You can't say that. It's only pitiful when a person is gone. It seems that your father hasn't thought of your second uncle in these years. Alas, poor thing. No one talks about him during the holidays. He must have become a lonely ghost."

This statement sounds mysterious, but the common people believe it the most, and many people have come to their senses.

Yes, over the years, even though every household has had a death, people still talk about it occasionally, and on certain days they go to the grave to pull out the weeds. But this Fang family...

The grass on the grave is not short.

Everyone knows it, but they just don't want to talk about it.

Old Master Fang knew very well that his father had been talking about this matter even when he was dying, but the more he did so, the more he refused to agree.

He was even reluctant to adopt the second son who was stupid, let alone the third son!
