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

Qian Fengping said nothing, walked over to him and sat next to him, holding his hand quietly. The two of them guarded Fang Yin together all night.

Early the next morning, probably because Fang Yin was in good physical condition, he woke up before Fang Tong could think about whether to ask Mr. Zhou for help.

"Brother, are you feeling unwell?"

Fang Tong was in the room, and he was the first to discover it.

Fang Yin hid in the bed, looking aggrieved, holding his head: "Headache."

Fang Tong quickly got up and went to the kitchen, and everyone in the family knew that he was awake. Fang Nanzhi ran over and hugged him tightly until her father came back with water and breakfast.

Doctor Gu said that he had to drink more water to excrete more of the medicine. After Fang Yin had eaten and drunk enough, he felt much better and stopped complaining about the headache.

Fang Tong couldn't help but teach him a lesson: "From now on, if someone you know is not good to you offers you food, don't just accept it, understand?"

"Look, you were drugged last night, right? Do you know how dangerous that was? When I found you, you were already being put in a bag and dragged out of the village. If I hadn't woken up and found you, you wouldn't even know where you'd been sold to by now!"

Fang Yin pouted when his brother scolded him, but he could only respond obediently. Although he was stupid, he was not unable to distinguish between good and evil. Hearing his brother say this, he was actually quite scared. If he was sold, he would never be able to see his younger siblings, Zhizhi and Yan Ge'er again.

Fang Nanzhi felt sorry for her uncle and quickly protected him: "Dad, go eat. I have a lot of homework to ask Mr. Zhou about these days. How about I take my uncle with me so that Mr. Zhou can take a look? I don't know how many drugs they gave me. It would be bad if it affects my health."

Fang Tong naturally wouldn't stop them from doing this, so he let them go: "Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll take him to the village chief's house when we get back."

It is important to finalize the adoption documents.

After this incident, the village was quiet for two days.

But that was only on the surface. Behind the scenes, everyone would gossip about the Fang family. The Fang family knew it, but they had no time to listen, and even less did they want to go out and listen, so everyone was relatively peaceful.

Fang Yin's health was not seriously affected, so Fang Tong naturally wouldn't cause trouble for the Fang family.

One day, Tiezhu came and told me the good news: he was engaged!

"Engaged?! To whom? Why is there no news at all?"

Fang Tong asked three questions in a row, and everyone else looked over.

When talking about marriage, Tiezhu was obviously a little embarrassed.

"It's Miss Cui from the Taohua Village next door..."

Fang Tong and his wife were both surprised and happy, especially Fang Tong.

"You little brat, you did something so secretive, hiding it from your brothers."

Erwa and Goudan, who were standing by, were also feeling jealous: "We three brothers agreed that we would either get married or not, so why are you secretly arranging a marriage?"

They shamelessly said to Qian Fengping: "Hey, actually, we have saved some money and want to find a wife..."

Qian Fengping understood immediately and agreed: "That's fine, don't worry, if there's a suitable one I'll definitely keep an eye out for you and introduce you to someone. I'll make inquiries whenever I have time."

Both of them were happy and said in unison: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Qian Fengping blushed slightly when she heard this name, while Fang Tong was still questioning Tiezhu on the other side.

"What did they say? Why is there no news? Who was the matchmaker?"

Tiezhu was also honest and answered all the questions: "This girl was introduced to me by my aunt. Her family is from Taohua Village. I've met her before. She's very beautiful."

At this point, he touched his face uncomfortably. "Her family is honest, but the girl is a little old. I asked, and they said that her grandparents passed away two years ago. Miss Cui delayed the marriage in order to observe mourning for them, and she has not yet married at this age. His family doesn't ask for a high betrothal gift, so after some discussion, I agreed..."

As Fang Tong listened, he felt something strange in his heart.

Putting aside other things, first of all, what kind of person is Tiezhu's aunt? She has always ignored Tiezhu and acted as if she doesn't see him. How come she suddenly cares about her brother and is so kind as to introduce him to a good wife?

Another thing is that he thought Miss Cui's situation was quite strange, but her age didn't matter.

Mainly, since we are from the countryside, where do the rules of mourning come from?

He had heard from his son that there were records in the books about the family members of high-ranking officials. If a senior official passed away, the officials in the family would have to retire, and some would have to retire for three years, unless they were exempted by special permission from the court.

He didn't remember the details very clearly, but these were not royal relatives or wealthy families. They were just a group of ordinary people. At most, they would keep vigil and eat vegetarian food for a few days with a sincere heart. Anyway, ordinary people couldn't afford to eat meat for a few meals, so they would just keep vigil for a while.

But how could you wait for several years and delay the marriage?

He frowned, but out of caution he asked Tiezhu, "Have you ever gone to Taohua Village to ask around? Is this really the case with their family?"

Tiezhu said with a smile: "Yes, I went there. I have helped the Cui family with work several times and have met the Cui family. I feel good about them."

Generally speaking, if two families are interested in each other, the man will come to the family's house to help with chores from time to time, which is equivalent to showing off to his father-in-law.

It's impossible to just sit at home and wait for someone else's wife to come, right?

Only after the performance can we talk about marriage.

Fang Tong felt that Tiezhu was an honest and straightforward man. If someone wanted to hide something from him while he was working at their home, he would not be able to find out and it was possible that he was being fooled.

It’s not that he thinks the worst of people, but one must be on guard against others.

He then asked, "What about your grandfather? What did he say?"

When this was mentioned, Tiezhu's expression changed and he looked a little uncomfortable.

Everyone noticed it, and Fang Tong exchanged glances with the other brothers: "What's wrong? What happened to your grandfather?"

After a while, Tiezhu finally spoke, "Actually, my grandfather has been ill recently, so I wanted to get engaged soon. This way, the family will be lively and I can bring good luck to him. Maybe he'll get better soon."

Fang Tong frowned even more tightly this time.

"No, you, why didn't you tell me that the old man was sick? It's such a big deal. Do you still treat me as a brother?"

"Yes, yes, there are also us, why don't you say anything?"

Tiezhu scratched his head and said, "I've already asked Doctor Gu to come to my house to take a look."

Fang Tong was speechless. "You went to the doctor to see a doctor. I treat all of you as my brothers. Why didn't you call the doctor and me? The old man is sick. Don't I need to help out at home and outside? Are you being so distant with me?"
