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

Fang Tong lowered his head, looked at his daughter, squatted down and sternly instructed, "Zhizhi, this is a secret between the two of us. No outsiders must know about it. Do you understand?"

"No matter how good our relationship is with others, we can't tell them. Otherwise, both my father and I will be burned alive as monsters!"

It's not that he's trying to scare people, but that he understands human nature too well.

Every family has no food, so why should the gods give food to your family? Human jealousy is sometimes more terrifying than ghosts.

Fang Nanzhi was also a little scared. She nodded seriously, "Dad, don't worry, I promise not to tell anyone. This is our secret!"

The Fang family does not have lunch, only meals in the morning and evening.

Hungry? If you are hungry, go to sleep. When you fall asleep, you won’t be hungry anymore.

Fang Nanzhi had not fallen asleep for long when she was awakened by the sound of two men talking outside.

She rubbed her eyes, opened the door and walked towards the source of the sound.

It was just the afternoon when Uncle Fang started urging her father to meet the Qin family.

"Third brother, I have already made an appointment with the Qin family. We will go to see him this afternoon. You won't want to keep us waiting for too long. Let's go quickly." Fang Jin urged.

He was really afraid that his unreliable third brother would go back on his word, so he tossed and turned this afternoon and didn't even have a good nap, because he wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible.

"Ah~"

Fang Tong sat on the stool, showing no intention of moving. He looked at his elder brother and sighed deeply.

This sigh made Fang Jin's heart surge.

No, he wouldn't really regret it, would he?

Fang Jin couldn't help but said, "Third brother, if you have something to say, just tell me."

Fang Tong rubbed his stomach and stretched out on the wooden stool. "I didn't eat lunch. The Qin family is too far away. I don't have the energy to walk. Oh, I remember there's an egg in the kitchen?"

After a while, Fang Jin personally took the egg and stuffed it into his hands, grinning and saying, "Eat it quickly, third brother. After you finish eating, you can go to the Qin family quickly."

Fang Tong was not polite at all. He peeled the egg, broke it into two pieces, and handed the other piece to his daughter.

"Nanzhi, eat."

At the kitchen door, the eldest aunt, He, watched the father and daughter eat with relish. She felt very uncomfortable and muttered in a gloomy tone, "What a greedy ghost! These eggs are obviously my gift to the head of the family to nourish the body. Don't you consider your status? The head of the family is a scholar..."

"Alright, mother." Seeing that she was about to go on and on, Fang Qingya calmly stopped her, her voice soft and pleasant. "We're all family. How can there be any distinction between you and me?"

Don’t think about it carefully. Compared with ten taels of silver, what is an egg?

He looked at her and shut up unwillingly.

I watched with heartache as the father and daughter finished the last egg in the house.

Fang Tong stood up and clapped his hands, "Let's go!"

The father and daughter set out from home.

You should know that the hottest time of the day is not at noon, but between two and three in the afternoon.

Fang Nanzhi looked up and looked at his father.

Dad is still the same dad, but something seems different.

"Dad, did you shave secretly?"

"What do you mean secretly?"

If you want to marry into my wife's family, you must dress yourself well!

Fang Tong raised an eyebrow, "How?"

"You've become more handsome!"

The father and daughter walked for about half an hour and stopped in front of a house. They thought it was the Qin family.

The Qin family was separated from several neighboring families by a distance, making them seem somewhat independent.

After knocking on the door, it opened shortly afterwards. A petite woman stood at the doorway. Seeing the father and daughter, she froze for a moment before quickly putting on a warm smile. "Third Uncle Fang is here. Come in and have a cup of tea."

Fang Tong nodded and said hello. Fang Nanzhi watched as the little girl followed suit, calling out in a full voice, "Hello, Aunt Qin!"

"Hey!" Widow Qin responded and looked at her twice more.

This little girl is so energetic.

Fang Nanzhi looked around curiously. The wooden door was made of new wood, and the walls around it were built with mud and bricks. The walls were much higher than those of the houses around him. Looking from the outside in, there were five thatched houses in the yard, with the roofs straight and some miscellaneous utensils neatly placed together. There were no weeds in the main yard, and the yard was clean.

It can be seen that this family is hardworking and capable.

Widow Qin was nervous, but her enthusiasm remained undiminished.

I don’t know what the purpose of the third son of the Fang family and his daughter’s visit is. They are afraid that Fang Tong will come to cancel the engagement on behalf of the eldest wife.

As he walked into the house, Fang Nanzhi's eyes met the young boy in the wheelchair.

Although Qin Yan was sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes were sharp and full of scrutiny.

Not long ago, he was bound by a system that called itself the "Eldest Son System" and was told that he would be rewarded with a bag of bread if he completed a task successfully.

It was absurd in the extreme—but he believed it.

So he rescued Fang Nanzhi and completed the mission, but the reward was never given.

From that moment on, he would never trust any system or anyone again.

Widow Qin smiled apologetically, then enthusiastically brought two wooden stools and said, "Please sit down first."

After saying that, he left the room again. After a while, he came back with two bowls of water. "It must have been hot along the way. Come, you two should drink some water to moisten your throats."

The two were indeed thirsty, so they picked up the bowls and drank.

The water is cool and refreshing, with a slight sweetness.

Fang Nanzhi's eyes lit up, sugar water!

Fang Tong, who was standing by, also tasted it, drank it in big gulps, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

If Qin hadn't broken his leg, big brother would have found a really good relative!

"My dear in-laws, I have something to say today, so I'll be frank." Fang Tong got straight to the point. "My eldest brother plans to have Fang Qingya and my daughter exchange marriages. Letting my daughter marry into your family won't count as breaking her promise this way."

"What do you two think? Tell me."

After the surprise, Widow Qin looked at Fang Nanzhi who was stunned, and quickly waved her hand to refuse, "No, this is not possible."

"If I remember correctly, your girl is only seven years old. No matter how bad my family is, we won't cheat a seven-year-old girl."

Fang Tong looked at Qin Yan and said calmly, "Your son's leg can't be cured, and you're too busy to handle it alone. Wouldn't it be better to raise a child bride to take care of him?"

"No!" Widow Qin refused without hesitation. "Since you don't want to get married, then both families can just cancel the engagement. I won't pester you. There's no need to make such a fuss!"

After Fang Tong said this, Widow Qin's attitude became visibly worse.

He is a father after all, how can he treat his own daughter like this?

On the other hand, Fang Tong was satisfied with the character of the mother and son.

So, Widow Qin watched the man being given the cold shoulder by her, but she still smiled.

No, the third son of the Fang family is a pervert?

Fang Tong didn't notice the woman's unpredictable expression. "It's true that it's not easy to break a promise, but my daughter is too young to be a child bride."

The status of a child bride in the man's family is extremely low. Before the marriage is consummated, she is not considered a housewife, but just cheap labor in another name. Not only does she have to undertake heavy housework on weekdays, but she is also often beaten and punished if she does not do her job well. This is not uncommon.

He certainly wouldn't want his daughter to suffer this.

Fang Tong straightened his collar, sat up straight, coughed lightly, and brushed his hair with one hand. "But I'm old and thick-skinned, so I can marry into your family!"
