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

Looking at Fang Yin who was unconscious on the cart, the little girl's mouth pursed and tears came out.

When she cried, she didn't cry loudly like some other children. Instead, her whimpering sound made everyone feel heartbroken.

Liu Cui, who was watching from the side, couldn't stand this and hurried over to comfort her.

Qin Yan was calmer and turned around to see the silent Patriarch Fang in the crowd.

"So the clan leader is here. I'd like to ask, has your Fang clan started selling off children?"

When Patriarch Fang heard this, he was a little dissatisfied with him. No matter what the matter was, it was not something a junior could question him. He immediately said, "You little brat of the Qin family, you are meddling too much."

Fang Tong, who had been silent, became angry again when he heard this, and glared at him.

"Has the clan leader lost his mind due to his old age? You don't say a word about clan affairs, but why are you angry with my son? If you are too old to take care of things, then let someone else take charge!"

Patriarch Fang was even more unhappy. He hadn't been disobeyed like this in a long time, but with so many eyes watching him, he knew that this matter had to be dealt with.

Before he could say anything, the village chief spoke first.

"During this year's famine, many people in other villages sold their children, but ours managed to survive. Everyone in the surrounding villages was envious. But now, as the new year approaches, we're selling our children. That's out of the question, especially since we're selling a grown son. I've never heard of such a thing before, and it's embarrassing to tell anyone about it."

After hearing what the village chief said, Mr. Fang spoke quickly.

"You can't say that, village chief. We're not selling our children. We're just sending him to work in the mines. Whose child wouldn't find a job at this age?"

He was being stubborn today, just to prove that he was just looking for a job for the child, not selling him. Otherwise, if this matter got out, his reputation would be bad.

But the villagers are not blind, and the village chief is even less blind. This is black and white, and no one in the village is willing to help them cover up this matter. Isn't this killing people?

Fang Nanzhi was crying. When she heard her grandfather say this, she reached out and wiped away her tears.

"Looking for work? What kind of good person would go to a place like that to look for work? Do you think we don't know? In that mine, apart from the prisoners who can't be locked up in the prison, the rest are all working hard and don't care about their lives. Can the Fang family not afford to survive? Let my second uncle go to the mine."

She was really angry. She knew from her studies that half of the workers would die, and the remaining half would be exhausted before they could return home.

At Mr. Fang's age, he is particularly afraid of life and death. He almost suffocated and raised his fist to beat this money-loser, but was stopped by Fang Tong.

Fang Tong pushed him hard. "I'm telling you, Second Brother is already working for our family. We've all signed the paperwork, and you're secretly trying to sell him off to somewhere else without our consent. No matter what your intentions are, you have to pay me five hundred taels for this breach of contract!"

Five hundred taels?

The Fang family was truly stunned when they heard this, but the village chief nodded at this moment: "It is indeed true. Everyone who works for the Qin family has signed it, and I am here to bear witness to it."

The Fang family didn't expect that there would be such a thing. Fang Jin was ashamed and refused to admit it.

"Signing documents? We don't know how the second brother signed the documents. He must have been deceived!"

Fang Tong sneered, "This document has not only been passed to the village chief, but also to the government office. Why don't you go to the government office and ask what they have to say about this?"

That's right, Fang Tong had modified Fang Yin's contract. Not only did he have to pay compensation if the recipe was leaked, but he also had to pay five hundred taels of silver if he stopped working halfway. He also went to the government office to review it, just to prevent the Fang family from having any bad intentions one day.

After all, he and his second brother are not blood brothers now, so it would not be a bad thing if they had a strong employment relationship. At that time, he was just taking precautions, never fearing the worst. He did not expect that it would be useful so soon.

The Fang family was very angry. Fang Tong actually still had the second son's contract in his hand. Wouldn't that mean they would not be able to make arrangements for the second son in the future?

Otherwise you have to pay compensation?

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and then Chief Fang asked Fang Tong: "How do you want to resolve today's matter?"

Logically speaking, this matter should be asked to the Fang family and Fang Yin, but the second son of the Fang family is a fool, and the clan leader has also seen it. Although Fang Tong was adopted out, he still has a lot of feelings for his second brother, and it is clear that he wants to seek justice for Fang Yin today.

Fang Tong thought for a moment and said, "I feel that the Fang family can no longer accommodate my second brother. In fact, I also know that they think my second brother is a burden. He stayed at home before just to do manual labor, but they also think he eats too much.

"They recently gave it to me, and I thought their family would be able to live in peace. I don't know what they came up with that made them want to sell him off. Since Chief Fang asked me, I'll tell you, my cousin doesn't seem to be short of sons. Instead, he's in a hurry to sell or give away these sons. Since that's the case, my father only has me as a son, so it's not that great. Why not take this opportunity to adopt my second brother as well?"

As soon as he said this, Old Master Fang jumped up and shouted, "Don't even think about it! Impossible! No matter what, he is still my son!"

Fang Tong was furious. "Okay, if that's what you said, won't Miss Wang and your son live in the city when they get married? Then don't forget to reserve a room for your second son as well. And remember to make sure he's well fed every day. If word gets out about him being skinny and hungry, it won't look good on the clan members."

"Besides, my cousin already has a multitude of wives and concubines. You were so eager to find a wife for my second brother before. Why haven't you mentioned it recently? Are there any relatives in the Wang family? Could you introduce them to him?"

Of course, he didn't care about what kind of marriage the Fang family arranged for his second brother. It was purely to disgust the Fang family.

He knew very well how much Miss Wang hated his second brother. If she knew that his second brother was going to follow them all the time, Miss Wang would probably go crazy without him having to do anything.

Mr. Fang hated Fang Tong to death at this point: "This is our family affair, and how we arrange it has nothing to do with you!"

Fang Tong didn't say anything, just looked at Patriarch Fang. Patriarch Fang was an old and experienced man, and he also had his own ideas.

Today, the servants of the Wang family want to send someone to the mine. It is obvious that the Wang family can no longer tolerate this fool, and the Fang family does not want to protect him either. It can be seen that Old Man Fang is unwilling to give up this son.

But he was unwilling to adopt.

It is clear that you don't want it yourself and you don't want others to take advantage of you.

As the clan leader, he couldn't just watch such a living person being sold. Everyone in the clan was watching him!

He cleared his throat and said, "Lao Fang, Fang Jin, come here and let's talk aside."
