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

"Qin Xiucai was also helped by his family to study before. He deserves to be rewarded for his achievements. Now that he is gone, isn't it only natural for his son to take his place?"

When Fang Tong heard this, he was not angry this time, but instead found it a bit interesting.

"Hearing what you said, it seems to make sense. So what you mean is that if we help Qin Shucai today, he will definitely be rewarded when he becomes successful in the future, right?"

Patriarch Qin didn't know what was going on with this Fang Tong. He was obviously a nobody, but he spoke in a very tricky way!

"That's true. Who knows what will happen in the future? I can't make the decision for my grandson."

When Fang Tong heard him jokingly saying this, he was not going to let the old man get away with it.

"Why not? You've already asked for money for your grandson, so you can make the decision. I don't ask for much. In the future, if Qin Yan, this cousin, can be given a big brick and tile house like yours, and two servants, that's not too much, right?"

When the patriarch heard his exorbitant price, he almost died of anger.

A big house? He wants servants? He hasn't even got any yet!

Fang Tong was furious and kept saying, "As long as Patriarch Qin signs a document confirming this matter, then our family is willing to pay the money to support his studies!"

He looked around and instigated others: "Everyone, don't just stand there. Didn't you hear what the clan leader said? Hurry up, think of everything you want and get it established together. This way, the clan leader can prepare in advance and not be too late when you need it!"

It was so weird, but the people present were really moved by it.

Yes, it is said that if one person achieves great success, the whole family will benefit from it, but that is just talk. If they can really get something, then they will take as much as they can!

Their eyes flickered and they made stealthy glances at each other, wanting to know what each other was thinking. If it weren't for Patriarch Qin sitting in the hall, they would have been eager to discuss things with each other.

When Chief Qin saw this situation, he knew that his plan would not be successful today.

If this continues, and if everyone thinks this way, we don’t know who will gain the upper hand and who will suffer the loss today!

He took this matter seriously, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a big scene. He had no choice but to show weakness.

"Alas, it seems that I took today's events for granted. Well, now is a disaster year, and everyone is having a hard time. I said it at the wrong time."

The others didn't even dare to say anything, only Fang Tong and Qin Yan were speechless.

This cunning old fellow knows how to advance and retreat.

"But no matter what, my grandson has passed the county exam now, which is a happy event for me and the clan. After the prefectural exam, we will definitely hold a big banquet at home and invite everyone to come and have fun!"

He did not mention the matter of asking for money, but instead mentioned setting up a banquet. Naturally, everyone did not want to bring up something irrelevant, so they started to compliment him again.

After all, if Qin Shucai really passed the examination and became a student, they would indeed benefit from it to some extent.

Fang Tong rolled his eyes silently: "Why don't you just save the money you saved from the banquet and use it to support your grandson's education? You really want both money and face."

But his cleverness is also real. As the head of the clan, he can win people's hearts back with just a few words. We can really learn a trick or two from him.

Fang Tong knew that at least today he couldn't cause them any more trouble.

When the crowd dispersed, he also pushed Qin Yan away.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out, he met Qin Shucai, who looked at Qin Yan with surprise.

He knew his cousin's personality: "Why are you here?"

Qin Yan smiled slightly and did not tell him what his grandfather had done at this time: "Nothing, just something."

The two had just met during the day and had nothing to talk about at the moment. When they parted, Qin Shucai was still a little confused.

He scratched his head and planned to go to his grandfather to ask, but he saw the elders of the same clan discussing something.

He accidentally heard someone speaking rudely, and just as he was about to leave, he vaguely heard his own name.

"Third brother, should we still give Shucai some money? That way, the clan leader and his family will remember his kindness in the future. Otherwise, when he really passes the imperial examination and becomes a scholar, there will be many people coming to visit him, and it won't be our turn."

"Hey, I plan to do the same as my second uncle and give 500 coins."

"You are stupid. Second uncle gave these, which means that we can't give less than these. Alas, I am planning to give one or two."

"so much?"

"Well, if you ask me, that's enough. Didn't you see the situation just now? Today they are not coming for us, they are targeting Qin Yan!"

At this moment, the voice changed.

"Brother Yan's family has been very busy recently, selling chestnuts and making cakes, which has aroused a lot of people in the village. My son went to the county town and heard that the teahouses and restaurants there have these things. I guess they are making a lot of money."

"We all know this, so how could the clan leader not know? He probably called us all here today with this in mind. I didn't expect the child didn't come here on his own. His stepfather is a scoundrel, and the clan leader really can't do anything to him."

Someone's voice sounded a little dissatisfied: "I think that since Fang Lao San said outside that the cake recipe was left by Qin Xiucai, it should be something of the clan. We all have a share. How can we let them get rich while we all just watch?"

Some people did not dare to respond to this. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they did not want to say it out loud, and gradually their voices became lower.

Qin Shucai's face turned red. He never expected his tribesmen to be like this.

He couldn't help but feel angry and went straight to find his grandfather.

When Patriarch Qin saw his grandson's expression, he felt something was wrong. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"

Qin Shucai gritted his teeth and said, "I just met someone from the clan and heard what they said. Grandpa, how could you do this?!"

Patriarch Qin's face darkened. "What have I done? What have I done is not for you?"

"I don't need you to do this for me! I always thought my family could afford to send me to school. If they really can't afford it, I'd rather not study than watch you covet other people's wealth!"

He never imagined that he had been on guard against anything that might go wrong with his father, but it turned out that his grandfather also thought the same way, and even did more than his father!

Snapped!

Patriarch Qin slapped his grandson directly!

Qin Shucai covered his face and stood there in a daze, never expecting to be beaten.

As far as he could remember, Grandpa had never laid a hand on him.

"How can you not read? Do you think you can read this book when you want to and not read it when you don't want to?" The face of the Qin clan leader was solemn.

"Your family has always provided for you, giving you whatever you want. Now that you don't want to study, who are you being worthy of?"
