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

After returning to the village, they went straight to Fang's house. Fang Nanzhi and the other two were already fast asleep, and only Fang Tong and his wife were waiting.

Fang Tong also made dumpling soup. Although it tasted average, the three of them each had a bowl, which warmed them up and made them feel alive.

"I thought this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and I have to borrow the old man's name to use it."

Fang Tong saw that they were eating without even looking up, "Tiezhu, have you told the old man about this?"

Tie Zhu nodded. "I know I can't hide this. Although my grandfather can't stand being provoked, I'm afraid he'll find out from others and won't be able to bear it anymore."

Fang Tong nodded: "Okay, then you go back and discuss it with the old man, and then we will handle this matter for him, so as to avoid more trouble at night."

Seeing Tiezhu just nod, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "It's not just you, old man. You have to think it through too. A real man never has trouble finding a wife. It's a good thing to find out before getting married. Don't make yourself sick because of other people's mistakes, okay?"

Tiezhu knew his brother was concerned about him and was afraid that he might be imagining things. He felt warm inside and a smile appeared on his face: "I know!"

Erwa even joked on the side: "It's different to have two scholars in the family. They sound so learned when they talk!"

Everyone at the table laughed.

The next morning, there was another knock on the Ma family's door.

Ma Lai Fu didn't know who had prevented him from sleeping well so early in the morning, so he came out cursing. When he opened the door and saw Tie Zhu, his face became even uglier.

"What are you doing so early in the morning? Can't you let me sleep? What's so urgent that you have to knock on the door so early in the morning?"

Tiezhu looked dejected: "I didn't want to come at this time, but my master is dying!"

"What did you say?!"

Ma Lai Fu almost thought he was still asleep: This is too sudden!

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Tiezhu reminded him, "Where are your uncle and aunt?"

He suddenly woke up and ran to the big house: "Dad! Mom! Something happened! Get up quickly!"

Ma Shiwu and his wife were called up. When they heard that the old man was dying, they looked at each other in disbelief, and then ran out in a hurry to confirm with Tiezhu.

"Is it really impossible?!"

I really don't want to serve you. If this person gets into trouble, it will be a big deal.

Does the old man have any money? What will happen to his funeral? These are all important matters. The old man can ignore them, but we cannot be absent when the person dies.

The family rushed to Erwa's house, and the couple kept complaining all the way.

"You must not have taken good care of him, otherwise he would have been fine at home. How come he is no longer able to do what you said he was after you took him away?"

"They keep saying they're filial, but I don't know how filial they are. They just show us their affection, but behind the scenes they don't do anything."

No matter what they said, Tiezhu didn't refute a word.

When we arrived at Erwa's house, in the main room, the old man's face was ashen, and Doctor Gu was sitting on a stool next to him, sighing.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will probably be within the next three or four days."

Doctor Gu spoke vaguely and sighed inwardly: This is something that goes against medical ethics, but Fang Tong and the others gave too much.

Anyway, he had said before, "If nothing unexpected happens, then that will happen", but there will definitely be an accident.

When they heard what he said, the Ma family burst into tears. No matter if they were crying sincerely or insincerely, they all cried, and each one was crying louder than the other. Those who couldn't cry had to pinch their thighs secretly.

Ma Shiwu held the old man's hand and cried like a child.

"Dad, do you have any wishes left now?"

What he meant was to ask the old man if there was anyone who hadn't received a share of the money, or if there was any land or other things under his name. If it was left to him, he would have to explain it, because he was the eldest in the family.

The old man looked weak, lying on the bed gasping for breath. It took him a while to call out the word "Tie Zhu". Ma Shiwu's face immediately turned ugly.

The old man said, "Tiezhu, get married..."

Tiezhu understood: "Grandpa is worried that I haven't gotten married yet, and he wants to see me get married."

He said this with a sad face, and Erwa also joined in the fun: "Tiezhu, why don't you just do what the old man wants and get married early? Maybe it will bring good luck and the old man will get better!"

Tie Zhu's eyes were red as he nodded: "Okay, I'll do it right away!"

Seeing that he didn't care about anything for his grandfather, Ma Laifu panicked: This won't do. This is his son Qilin. Is it destined that they are not father and son?

But with so many people watching him, there was really no reason for a cousin to stop him!

Tiezhu walked all the way to Cui's house without stopping. He arrived at the right time as there were quite a few people at Cui's house at that time.

After all, spring is about to arrive. Cui Pingping's father is the head of the village. He is giving a speech to the men in the village, telling them about farming and encouraging them to take up agriculture.

Seeing Tiezhu suddenly coming over, the Cui family was also caught off guard.

"Tiezhu, why did you come here without saying hello? Didn't you see there's someone here? I don't need you to do any work at home today. Come back another day!"

The people in Taohua Village looked at Tiezhu with curiosity. It was not the first time they saw him. After all, he often went to Cui's house these days, and many people were familiar with him. However, not many people had spoken to him.

Tie Zhu said, "That's not the case. I have something urgent to tell you today."

He then explained in detail the whole story, telling the Cui family that his grandfather was seriously ill and wanted to see him get married, and that he hoped the wedding date could be moved up, hoping that the Cui family would agree to it.

Village chief Cui looked unhappy. Cui Pingping, who had heard everything in the house, naturally didn't want to see it either, so she walked out and stood at the door.

"We haven't even been engaged yet, how can we get married in such a hurry? The three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts haven't even been sent out yet, this is not in accordance with etiquette..."

Malay Fudu is already going to marry her, how can he really marry Tiezhu?

Tie Zhu sighed, his eyes reddening. "I know I've wronged you, but my parents passed away early, and I was raised by my grandfather. This was his last wish. If I can't do this, I'm afraid I'll blame myself for the rest of my life."

"If you really want to live with me in the future, can you consider it as a favor? Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I will definitely treat you well in the future!"

His voice was firm, and the other villagers were moved. They all thought that the boy was very filial. As for the early wedding date, they didn't think it was a big deal.

But Cui Pingping didn't think so. She didn't really want to marry Tiezhu, not to mention that she even wanted to go back on her engagement now.

Everyone started talking at once.

"I don't think it's a big deal. I heard the wedding date is already set, right? So, just do it early."

"Yeah, we country folk don't have so many requirements. We just want to live a good life in the future. It's not easy for the old man in this life."

"I think it would be great if we could do it earlier, so we don't have to rush into the fields in the spring."
