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

After hearing what his eldest son said, Mr. Fang was silent for a long time. It was obvious that he did not agree with this proposal and was unwilling to do so.

Fang Jin is now physically and mentally exhausted, and can still hear his second son clamoring for food outside. He does not understand and cannot accept his father's current hesitation.

"Dad, what are you still thinking about? Shouldn't my studies be the priority at home? If we can't get the recipe, we can think of other ways. What's the point of locking a fool up at home? If he could tell me the recipe, he would have told me long ago!"

Seeing that he was angry, Mr. Fang finally spoke: "The second son is my son after all. Fang Tong had him adopted. If the second son follows him and doesn't come back, then..."

Fang Jin became increasingly impatient.

That's how illiterate people are. They're shortsighted. What's the point of having more sons? Do you expect the second son to provide for him and his mother in their old age?

He is such a grown up, but he can't even take care of himself!

Fang Jin was tired and sleepy and didn't want to waste time on such things, but he had to explain to his father.

The only thing to be thankful for is that he knows his father well enough.

"If you want to keep him, that's fine. Just feed him three times a day, and he'll naturally stop bothering me. As long as you can afford it."

When Mr. Fang heard this, he seemed to suddenly come to his senses.

"Ah? How can this be? You know how much your brother can eat. These days, he's been grabbing food when he's hungry. He alone can eat as much as our entire family. How can we let him eat as much as he wants..."

Fang Jin looked at him and made up his mind to let his father make the decision immediately.

"So, why don't you let the third brother raise him? As long as you don't break off your relationship with him, he will always be your son and my brother!"

He thought for a moment, "Not only that, this guy went to the Third Brother to help, so you must have negotiated his wages, just like the people the Third Brother hired. Who didn't pay them?"

"After all, the second son can't help much at home now. He's already grown up, and it's his responsibility to earn money to support his parents."

Mr. Fang was a little hesitant just now, but when he heard this, he became a little shaken.

He felt his son was right. With the second son's age, he was destined to never be able to support his family on his own. He could only work as a laborer. Who would hire a fool? Only Fang Tong could do that.

As long as the two old men don't run away and can still make money, he won't feel so sad if he can't get the cake recipe.

Thinking of this, Mr. Fang agreed and secretly discussed with his eldest son how to tell Fang Tong after arriving at the Qin family.

In the kitchen, Fang Yin was watching his sister-in-law cook. After a while, he saw his father coming over with a sullen face. He quickly stood up with a wary look on his face.

If his father dares to hit him, he will run away!

"Second brother, haven't you always been thinking about your third brother? Come on, I'll take you to find the third brother."

Fang Yin was stunned, unable to believe what he heard. He couldn't help but confirm it twice. Seeing his father's impatient face, he jumped up and cheered.

Old Master Fang saw that he was making a mess at home, and was upset when he saw that he was so happy when he said he was going to look for Fang Tong.

No wonder the eldest son is annoying, he is such a heartless guy!

Fang Yin jumped into the kitchen and circled around He who was cooking: "Hurry! Eat! Find your brother after you finish eating!"

Old Master Fang pulled him in and said, "Why are you still eating? Just go and eat at your brother's place!"

In fact, Fang Yin didn't like the Fang family's food, but he knew that he ate too much and was always hungry. He ate at home, and then he would eat less when he went to see his third brother.

But his father was also stingy. If the second son could only eat his fill, at least four people in the family would go hungry: "Are you leaving or not? If not, I'll never let you go again!"

Fang Yin refused to agree. Upon hearing this, he quickly followed his father to the Qin family.

When the father and son arrived at Qin's house, Fang Tong and Tie Zhu had just loaded the goods onto the ox cart and had not yet left.

Old Master Fang saw the large baskets and small boxes piled on the ox cart from a distance. He knew that these were the chestnuts and cakes sold by Fang Tong, and his eyes immediately became jealous.

Fang Tong also saw them and was actually in a good mood. After all, the little girl had been complaining for a while, asking why Second Uncle hadn't come back yet. She said he didn't keep his word, and it hadn't come back until now.

However, seeing the old man following, he felt that this might not go smoothly and gave a fake smile.

"Uncle, it's so early!"

When Mr. Fang heard him address him like that, his brain almost exploded: "What are you calling me! I'm your father!"

Fang Tong sneered, thinking that his uncle really had a bad memory. Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of him?

"The adoption documents have been signed. If your uncle doesn't remember anything, have your cousin take you to see a doctor."

Old Master Fang was furious: "Do you think that just because you signed a piece of paper, all the years I've spent raising you are over? You ungrateful bastard!"

Fang Tong showed an incomprehensible expression, and his heart was no longer in turmoil.

"You really have a bad memory. You can't have forgotten that when we were little, you took my big brother and me into the mountains. My big brother fell into a pit and dragged me down with him. You made my big brother step on me to get out, and then what happened?"

Mr. Fang's eyes flickered: "It happened so many years ago, who would remember?"

"Oh, and then you told me, 'Your brother's hand is broken, I'll take him back to the village to see a doctor first, and then I'll bring a rope back to pull you out.' And what happened? I stayed in the pit all night alone."

Fang Tong said sarcastically, "You may not remember, but I do remember how cold the nights in the mountains were. I'll never forget this, don't worry."

Old Master Fang's face was grim, but he felt that this son was indeed no good: "Your parents gave birth to you and raised you, and you still hold a grudge against them. Do you think raising a child is so easy? Every child has had some illness or disaster. Who hasn't gone through this?"

"Really? Who has a father as partial as you? My eldest brother wanted to eat fish in the middle of winter, so you took me to the river to dig a hole in the ice. The ice broke, and I fell into the water and nearly froze to death. After I came back, I fell seriously ill. It was only because I stole money from our family and asked my second brother to hire a doctor for me that I would have died of fever today, just like my second brother!"

In fact, there was more to it than that. When he went to the city for the first time, he asked his father to take all the copper coins he earned from doing odd jobs. He said that the money they paid had to be given to his eldest brother as a betrothal gift for his wife, and then it would be their turn as younger brothers to spend the money.

But Fang Tong is not a three-year-old child. He knows that in the Fang family, no good things have ever happened to him and his second brother. They only happen to his eldest brother.

From then on, he did nothing, neither working in the fields nor going to the factories. Whatever he did was just for the benefit of his big brother. Since his family could not give him anything, at least he did not do the dirty and tiring work, and he could keep himself in good health.

Old Master Fang listened to him talking about so many things at once, and he really hadn't thought about them all these years because he didn't think it was a big deal.

"Five fingers have different lengths. Your eldest brother's is different. He..."
