Fang Nanzhi was sniffing and his eyes were rolling around.

It would be great if her father could really be adopted, so that his grandfather wouldn't have to talk about filial piety whenever something happened. I've never seen a family that not only has to be filial to their parents but also has to be filial to their eldest brother.

Just as the stalemate was about to begin, a familiar voice of "Make way" came from behind.

elder brother?

She turned around and saw Qin Yan sitting in a wheelchair, with some villagers making room for him.

"Brother, why are you here? Where's Auntie?"

Qin Yan frowned and reached out to touch the corners of her red eyes: "Why are you crying like this?"

Fang Nanzhi sneered.

"So many people from the village came over, and it was too much of a commotion. I didn't let my mother come over. I'm a member of the Qin family, so it's enough for me to come over."

He reached out and touched the little girl's head: "Be good, I have something to say to the village chief."

His wheelchair moved forward, and Fang Tong noticed it. He turned around to look at him and came over to help push the wheelchair. "Why are you here?"

Qin Yan didn't answer. He glanced at the Fang family expressionlessly and then looked at the village chief.

"Grandpa Village Chief, can I say a few words?"

The village chief didn't expect Qin Yan to come and was a little surprised: "Yes, of course, this Fang Tong is now a member of your Qin family. You are the head of the family. If something like this happens, of course you can speak up."

The villagers started to make faces at each other again. They didn't expect that even Qin Yan came. Today's lively scene was getting more and more lively. Why was it getting more and more interesting?

"Grandpa Village Chief, Uncle Fang has been married into my family for not long, but the Fang family has come to our house several times. They have snatched my mother's things from outside and even come to our house to ask for food and drink. My legs are like this. My mother's temper is also known to the uncles, aunts and wives in the village."

The young man's voice was steady. As soon as he started talking, the people around him lowered their voices unconsciously, and no one interrupted him.

"I don't want to cause trouble for my mother, so I've endured it time and time again. But now, the Fang family has set their sights on the recipe left by my father, and I really can't continue to turn a blind eye."

When he said this, it was equivalent to confirming what Fang Tong said.

The recipe Fang Jin mentioned turned out to be from the Qin family!

"The marriage between these two families should be a good oath of friendship. Our Qin family has never intended anything for the Fang family, and we rarely interact with them. Yet, the Fang family treats our Qin family as easy prey, repeatedly causing trouble. I hope the village chief can make a decision for our family on this matter."

Everyone looked at each other. Qin Yan was speaking on behalf of the Qin family, which was different from Fang Tong who was just yelling here.

Is this the Qin family's dissatisfaction with the Fang family, or rather, the other party's dissatisfaction?

The words were not fully said, but Fang Tong immediately got the hint. He had been in the Qin family for so long, it would be a lie to say that there was no tacit understanding between them.

Before anyone could react, he shouted, "Brother Yan, what do you mean by this? Are you going to divorce me on behalf of your mother?"

He gasped, "I'm going to die! Give me the rope and let me die!"

"I was forced to marry into the family. I couldn't hold my head up high. A grown man was divorced. Dad! Mom! You guys are leaving me no way out!"

When Fang Nanzhi saw this, he did not stop him and followed his father to pull the hemp rope.

"Dad, I'll go with you. Please take me away! My uncle wanted to sell me off before, which forced you to marry into his family. Now he wants to get you divorced. No one will want me in the future!"

"So studying is all about scheming against people! If anyone asks about this in the future, please, uncles and aunts, speak up for me and my dad. We can't let such a bad person take the imperial examination to harm others!"

When Mr. Fang heard this, he was about to curse, but was stopped by Fang Jin. His face looked very bad at the moment.

Fang Jin's heart sank to the bottom. He knew that this matter could not go on like this. Although Qin Yan was just a bad boy, everyone really regarded him as the head of the family. They sang the same tune and it was obvious that they were targeting him.

The imperial examination is approaching, and his reputation must not be ruined. These things must not be blamed on him.

He suppressed the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Third brother, third brother! Stop making trouble and listen to me, the eldest brother! Put down the rope first..."

He softened his tone and turned to look at Qin Yan again.

"What happened today was just a misunderstanding. It all started because your wasteland was unused. I didn't know what was going on before. Don't worry, I will definitely personally tell my two sons not to forget this matter."

He extended his hand and gestured at Fang Tong: "As for the third brother... let's just persuade him. It's just a small matter, why make a big deal out of it?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Qin Yan's eyes, but he wasn't going to fall for it.

If the hard approach doesn’t work, then try the soft approach?

"I don't think today's matter can be so hastily resolved. Perhaps it's because you've been well protected by your family since you were young, and none of your brothers can compete with you. The villagers also think you're a scholar, so they rarely argue with you."

He was sitting in a wheelchair, but his aura was no less impressive.

"But everyone knows about my family's situation. Let's just let this matter go today. If your Fang family comes to cause trouble again in the future, how many times can I protect my mother?"

He extended his hand, fingers pressed together. "We, the Qin family, didn't let Uncle Fang marry into the family just to invite a wolf into the house. Why don't we just...cut the Gordian knot."

As soon as he finished speaking, the father and daughter behind him burst into tears, coordinating perfectly.

Now the onlookers looked at Fang Tong with sympathy.

Alas, I have definitely been implicated by my father's family.

Fang Jin's face became even gloomier. He was not stupid. This kid was clearly forcing him and their Fang family.

He had indeed underestimated Qin Yan before.

This kid also wants the third child to be adopted out?

When it comes to adoption, only elders have always taken the initiative to talk about it, but no younger generation dares to bring it up openly.

No matter whether it was Qin Yan or the third brother, if they dared to bring it up, the villagers would spit at them to death. This is extremely unfilial.

So the two of them sang the same tune, one threatening death and the other threatening reason, and they cooperated well.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Why didn't he realize before that this kid named Qin was so scheming!

Fang Jin looked at Qin Yan coldly, his teeth itching with hatred, but he knew in his heart that it would be difficult for him to win over them under the current circumstances. The imperial examination was approaching, and he had to go to win fame and fortune. How could he possibly perish together with these peasants?

The anger in his eyes was clearly seen by Qin Yan, who was looking at him, and Fang Tong and his daughter beside him also felt it.

The old village chief sighed and said, "Old Fang, you don't agree to the adoption. Do you really want to force the third son and granddaughter to death? We don't have the right to let such a thing happen in our village!"

Old Master Fang lowered his head and said nothing.

The old village chief's eyes fell on Fang Jin. Fang Jin was very unwilling and couldn't understand why the village chief was helping the third brother?

But he had no choice. If it were to get out that he had forced his brother and niece to death, it would be unjust and unkind, and his path to the imperial examination would be cut off.

After a while, Fang Jin suddenly turned around and grabbed Grandpa Fang's arm: "Dad, come with me!"

The father and son returned to the yard and talked about something. The onlookers looked at each other, waiting for what would happen next.
