After hearing this, everyone became excited.
The little eyes that were watching the melons immediately lit up and looked back and forth between Fang Jianzhong, who was angry, and Wang Dajuan, who was unruly but also a little guilty.
The crowd even made noises of "Speak out and let everyone judge for themselves!"
"that is!"
"Wanghuo family, what's the grudge between you and your son?"
Wang Dajuan didn't answer, her eyebrows raised: "Even if you say it to the sky, your son is still my grandson! His last name must be Fang!"
"You still have the nerve to say that?"
Fang Jianzhong sneered, "Eight years ago, didn't you take 1,000 yuan and ask me to marry into the Hua family? I am a son-in-law, so why shouldn't my son have the surname Hua?"
He deliberately didn't put the word "severing ties" in such a harsh way because the villagers tended to be conservative.
If you just say you've severed ties, then there are no parents who are not wrong. If it comes to the point of severing ties, it's definitely the children's fault.
If it was a marriage into the wife's family, then everything would be different.
There were whispers from the crowd.
"I said that Jianzhong never came home after getting married, and the wedding banquet was also hosted by Lao Hua's family. It turns out that he married into the family."
"It's not like Boss Hua doesn't have a son, but he insists on marrying his son into the family. I'm afraid the Wanghuo family wants to sell their son!"
"Hey, she accepted a 1,000 yuan betrothal gift and then regretted it. I really despise people like this!"
The team leader turned around and advised Wang Dajuan: "Aunt Wang, since you accepted the 1,000 yuan betrothal gift and married your son into his family, the child should have the surname Hua. You can't have both the betrothal gift and the grandson."
When the captain heard this, he felt a pang of annoyance.
Damn, if anyone can offer 1,000 yuan for a daughter-in-law, it would be a sky-high price. They sold their son for 1,000 yuan and then regretted it. I have never seen such a person.
Fang Jianzhong's eyes were red: "Mom, I know you don't like my grandma. Just because I was raised by my grandma, you don't like me either! I accept it, after all, you are my mom!
You asked for 1,000 yuan to let me marry into the Hua family, and I followed your arrangement! Because of this 1,000 yuan, you know how difficult it is for me to live in my father-in-law's house!
I finally had a son and I was able to hold my head high at home, and now you want to snatch my son away! Mom, am I really your son?
Every word was heart-wrenching and every sound was filled with grief and indignation.
This aroused everyone's sympathy.
Even the men present said with pity, "These days, any man who marries into the woman's family is only doing so out of sheer help.
Jianzhong is such a good man, it is really unfair for him to marry into the family. And he has such a mother, alas..."
"Oh, even if you have a lot of money, you can't let your eldest son marry into the girl's family! Dajuan, what do you think?"
"What else can I think? She has more than one son anyway. If she abandons this disliked one, she can still get some benefits from the wealthy Hua family, and it won't hinder her other sons from getting married!"
"Tsk tsk, you said you'd marry into the family, and now you're going to go back on your word because there's no grandchild at home. You're turning your back on that 1,000 yuan. How shameless of you."
Seeing Fang Jianzhong finished his performance, Su Qiuying stepped forward to cooperate and said firmly:
"Did you hear that? Jianzhong married into our family. You said at the beginning that your son would have nothing to do with you after he married in. My grandson has nothing to do with you!"
After saying that, he turned to look at the captain: "Captain, do you think this is true?"
The captain nodded: "That's right."
The team leader tried to persuade Wang Dajuan: "Aunt Wang, your son and daughter-in-law are still young, right? If you want a grandchild, you can have another one! Why do you have to be so hard on them?"
Once upon a time, the Hua family lived a life richer than the landlords and withstood numerous reports. The whole village knew that his family had no simple connections and was definitely a powerful one.
Everyone in Lao Hua's family is very friendly. His granddaughter even gives sweet potatoes and candies to the children every day. Who would go against the God of Wealth?
In addition, the brigade cadres have always favored the Hua family, and everyone gradually became unwilling to offend the Hua family, and at most they would say a few gossips behind their backs.
Just say it, it won’t hurt you. Who hasn’t been gossiped about behind their back anyway?
Now two more people in his family have been admitted to university. Who knows if one of them will become an official in the future?
There is no benefit in offending his family and it is a waste of effort.
Everyone also started to persuade him.
"Okay, Aunt Wang, you've already taken 1,000 yuan, what else is there to give up?"
"Yes, didn't the captain say that we can reproduce?"
"Hua Lao Er only has one daughter, right? Gender equality is common now, so your granddaughter won't be able to marry a son-in-law in the future!"
"Hey, today is New Year's Eve, and we have to go back and cook the New Year's Eve dinner. Aunt Wang, you can't just let something like this happen and not celebrate the New Year, right?"
"Yes, yes, let's go home for the New Year!"
…
Wang Dajuan wanted to make a fuss but she couldn't be persuaded. She just opened her mouth to speak, but so many other people spoke first to interrupt her.
Plus it’s the Chinese New Year, so there are indeed things to do at home.
She had originally intended to come and take a look and didn't want to spend too much time, but now she could only follow everyone's steps.
But she was still reluctant to leave and looked back at the child.
Xiaole stopped crying now. Seeing her scary look, she shrank into her grandmother Su Qiuying's arms, not wanting to see that woman anymore.
The old man smiled at everyone and said, "Everyone go home and have a happy new year!"
"Great! Happy New Year!"
"Make a fortune next year!"
"Everything goes well!"
"Oh, go home and set off firecrackers!"
“There’s still a lot of work to do!”
The crowd dispersed and the family returned to their house, each busy with their own things.
Wan Qingliu: "We're going to the captain's house tomorrow to give him some gifts. Thanks to the captain for speaking up for us."
The old man looked up and said, "You give gifts to their family every year. It would be unreasonable for you not to speak up for us!"
"Don't underestimate these cadres. Building good relationships with them will only bring benefits, not harm."
This is a place where personal relationships are extremely important. If you don't give some gifts to maintain relationships, you won't know what to do in the future if you get stuck in the process.
So every year during the holidays, the brigade cadres would visit their homes and not give them anything too expensive, just some scarce and necessary items like soap and sugar.
Those gifts touched their hearts, and after receiving them, they had happy faces and were much more polite.
As usual, Wan Qingliu asked Hua Qingping to take the New Year gifts to visit the old Wan family.
Hua Qingping: "Mom, I think grandma's health is not very good now. Do you want to go with me to see her?"
Wan Qingliu thought about it for a moment and didn't object: "Let's go. I haven't been in touch with her for so many years, so I'll just go and see her."
On New Year’s Eve, the family sets off a string of firecrackers and then starts to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, it was dark and suddenly a "whoosh" sound came from the distance.
