Chapter 214 It’s a big deal
Fang Yin could understand to some extent that marriage meant living together, but he didn't know what was going on with that landlord's daughter.
But when he saw his brother was so angry, he immediately shook his head.
"No, I won't marry you if my brother won't let me!"
Old Master Fang didn't care what he said at all. He was just a fool, so how could he be allowed to make the decision?
But the villagers' expressions could not be hidden, and Fang Jin couldn't help but pull his sleeve from behind to remind him.
He finally came to his senses and sighed quickly.
"Alas... everyone knows that our second son's situation is difficult to say. If I, as his father, don't pay attention to him, I'm afraid he will never have any hope of getting married and having children in his lifetime. Wouldn't that mean there will be no descendants?"
"When I think about this, I can't sleep all night. I feel so sad!"
Everyone thought that this was indeed the case. Given Fang Yin's situation, no family in the village would be willing to marry their daughter to him.
"Well... Landlord Wang's daughter is a good girl, even though she's been divorced before. She can accept our second son. It's not easy to meet someone like her. At least she'll have a companion when she's old. I can take care of him for a while, but not forever! I can't bear to see my child die alone!"
After hearing this, many people felt a little uncomfortable.
It’s pitiful how loving parents are. Fang Yin is a fool, it’s lucky for him to be able to marry a wife.
Fang Tong was so angry that he was shaking when he heard him talking nonsense and pretending to be so serious!
"You talk so high-soundingly, what about finding a partner? Who is the daughter of the Wang family? She's lucky enough not to have killed my brother, but she's still looking for a partner? She's been involved in so many relationships, but who gave birth to a child for her?!"
The villagers were stunned, and Fang Tong directly pointed out their purpose.
"It's not enough that my family forced me to marry into the family to support my eldest brother's studies. Now, to continue supporting my eldest brother, they are actually selling my second brother out? How dare you swear before heaven and earth, before our ancestors in the netherworlds, that you arranged this marriage just to covet the Wang family's dowry!"
"Don't think that just because everyone doesn't know, you can hide the truth and get away with it!"
"This landlord Wang's daughter is having trouble finding a husband. I heard that marrying her would bring her a lot of benefits from the landlord. Her own dowry is already one hundred taels of silver, and she owns a shop in the county town!"
When the villagers heard this number, they were shocked!
There is another layer here!
Although they had heard about the landlord Wang's family, they were not familiar with recent events. Fang Tong now went to the county town every day, so it seemed that he really knew something!
Some of the villagers believed what he said, but if this happened, Mr. Fang's decision to arrange this marriage...this would not be a good thing.
When it comes to marriage, it depends a little on the financial situation of the other party, and there is nothing shameful about it.
But given the Wang family's situation... they couldn't just push their son into this fire pit knowing this, right? Would the Fang family still be able to live like human beings after this?
The village chief sighed at this point. He should have given some warnings. If this matter got out, it would affect the reputation of their village. "Selling children is not a custom for educated families. Fang Jin is a student after all. He should know how to be friendly and caring to his brothers."
Fang Jin's friends all looked weird and strange at this time, which made Fang Jin feel uneasy.
His father shouldn't have said these things at this time. He should at least wait until his friends left.
Now, he has no choice but to show up.
"Everyone has misunderstood. This marriage was proposed by the landlord's family. They said that Miss Wang fell in love with my second brother at first sight. As for the dowry, it is naturally the things a woman brings when she gets married. It belongs to my sister-in-law and is for her to deal with. We will not interfere in the affairs of other couples."
This is a nice statement, but unfortunately Fang Tong doesn't believe it!
"I'm a son-in-law, and you're all trying to get the Qin family's things. My second brother doesn't understand these things, so you won't have any thoughts? You think I'm a fool too, who are you trying to fool?"
He was so angry that he grabbed the edge of the table and was about to overturn it, but was suddenly grabbed by the village chief's arm.
"Alright, alright, listen to me." He sighed. "This matter hasn't been finalized yet and there's no matchmaker, so it can't be finalized. But when it comes to marriage, even if it's arranged by parents, we still have to consider the other person's character. If she's truly unfaithful, your family will have to think carefully about it. After all, this also concerns the reputation of this clan."
This is not a way to calm things down, but a reminder.
The Fang family is not the only one in this village. If the rumors about the Wang family girl are true, the Fang family will endure it, but if it gets out, it will not just be one person and one family who will be ridiculed, but the entire clan will be labeled as cowards.
Patriarch Fang, who had been silent all this time, also spoke in a deep voice.
"The village chief is right. There's no rush for this marriage. The second son himself isn't in a hurry to get married anyway. I heard he's with Fang Tong now and has a good meal. Your family should reconsider this matter."
He said he would think about it, but since the old patriarch had spoken, both Grandpa Fang and Fang Jin felt that this matter might not turn out well.
Mr. Fang was not willing to accept this, but it was definitely not appropriate to bring it up now.
The matter was temporarily over. The villagers watched the excitement, but the atmosphere of the banquet was gone. Each family wanted to eat their fill and leave quickly, so they could go back and talk about what had happened to the landlord, the Wang family.
Fang Jin frowned and winked at He who was standing beside him. He was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to react. She quickly went to get the bamboo basket that Fang Tong brought.
"Well, today I have prepared some good things to entertain everyone!"
Fang Tong sneered in his heart. In order to avoid looking too embarrassed, they actually said that the things he brought were prepared by them. It seemed that he was always right in making malicious assumptions about this family.
Qian Fengping stood up and frowned: "This is a gift from our family. Isn't it inappropriate to open it directly like this?"
He didn't care at all: "What's the matter? It's just a gift from your family. This is the cake we ordered for everyone!"
As she spoke, she opened the bamboo basket!
Fang Tong had just entered the yard and put the bamboo basket inside the kitchen door. Although the door was open, the fire had been burning for a long time and was still very hot. It has not been turned off until now.
Fang Tong was not sure about the fate of the Fang family members, and whether they would encounter snakes that were disturbed from hibernation, so he kept staring at the basket in her hand.
In fact, the two snakes had been awake for a while, but they were covered by something. They were almost forced to wake up from hibernation and were a little confused.
But after being brought here by He, with so many people and so much noise in the yard, the wild snake could no longer bear it and became restless.
When He lifted the basket, the snake in the basket suddenly jumped out!
"ah!"
He screamed, and before she could throw the basket away, she felt a pain in her hand!
The basket fell, but the snake was still hanging on her wrist, which really scared her to death!
