Chapter 301: The Son-in-Law

Tang Qingshan said: "I'm just guessing."

Nineteen thought for a moment, "Although there are such disguise techniques in the martial arts world, there are only a few people who can do it. There are only two or three people at most. Moreover, it is easy to pretend to be anyone, but it is difficult to pretend to be an acquaintance that everyone knows. I think only one person can do it!"

He paused and said, "This person is called Hao Huashi. He is very famous, but his whereabouts are erratic and he is not easy to find. I don't think it can be him, right?"

The elder brought the topic back: "Let's just pretend it's not the case. Even if it's a disguise, it's nothing. We'll know after we give it a try."

He continued, "Since you are sure that Tang Erhe is very afraid of that woman, you can move her away and make him admit that he is a son-in-law. Then you can ask the clan leader to expel him from the clan and you can sever your relationship with him. If anything happens in the future, it will have nothing to do with you."

This is definitely a tactic that the old fox in the court is good at, a real way to cut off the source of the problem.

No matter what the other party did, they moved Tang Erhe, wasn't it because they were relatives? Then they should sever the relationship first! As long as the relationship was severed in the family tree, no matter what tricks the other party wanted to play, it would not work! ! After everyone discussed it, Yu Ru secretly went to find Qin.

Qin is a smart and clever person. She can do anything with the money. In comparison, Tang Duanwu and the woman from the clan leader's family are a bit honest and simple-minded. I'm afraid they are no match for Chen.

Tang Qingshan and the elder went to find the old patriarch. Even if Tang Qingshan went alone, the old patriarch would not refuse. What's more, the elder was there to back him up? Of course, he agreed.

The troops here are deployed and ready for battle.

Two days later, Chen and Tang Erhe finally arrived, and brought with them Tang Zhaodi, who was adorned with gold and silver.

This time they were very polite and brought a lot of gifts in the car, which they gave to the clan leader Tang Duanwu and the Hu family. The children in the village grabbed handfuls of candy.

The villagers are very realistic, so they immediately became enthusiastic.

Then I went to Tang Qingshan.

This time, I don't know if Tang Erhe had rehearsed it beforehand, but he took out the silver and paid the debt very readily, and he paid back 500 taels directly, saying thank you very much, big brother, for all the good things he did back then, and his words were very reasonable and well-founded... Tang Qingshan refused twice, saying that he only wanted 300 taels, but seeing that he was crying, he accepted it all.

Tang Erhe immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Qin appeared, pulled Chen and said with a smile: "Come on, sisters, follow me... We haven't seen each other for many years, let the two brothers talk!"

Chen didn't want to leave, so Qin said with a smile, "You are an outsider daughter-in-law, you don't understand the rules of our clan. At a time like this, women shouldn't get involved. You have to give Erhe some face!"

Chen hesitated for a moment, and was then forcibly dragged away by Qin. Even Tang Zhaodi was dragged away, and a group of women naturally followed. Only Tang Erhe was left sitting there, sweat breaking out on his forehead.

Even Tang Duanwu saw through it now, and couldn't help but secretly wonder, is it necessary to be so nervous? He wasn't so shy back then! Nineteen also secretly took a few glances, thinking if it was really a disguise... how could the sweat show through? It definitely can't, right? So is this really Tang Erhe? Over there, the elder didn't come out, Tang Qingshan and the eldest and second brothers were all there, with Tang Youzhong, Tang Duanwu and a few people from the clan sitting next to them, chatting on both sides.

Tang Qingshan asked Tang Erhe: "What have you been doing these years?"

Tang Erhe said: "Actually, I didn't do anything. I just did a little business."

"What business?"

Tang Erhe said: "I traded some silk."

"Oh?" Tang Qingshan said calmly: "I am an expert on this. Where do you get the goods from? What kind of goods do you buy? Where do you do business?"

Tang Erhe was not nervous. Instead, he seemed to be finally able to speak out, "Let me tell you the truth. I did some business at first, but I lost money. Then I met Chen, and since then, I have hardly been out of the house."

Oh no!

Brother Tang and the second brother couldn't help but look at each other.

This is really smooth and touching!

Tang Duanwu had received the information from Tang Qingshan, so he asked directly: "What? You want a woman to support you?"

Tang Erhe obviously didn't think his face was worth anything, and said with a smile: "Not really, not really, I also help with the accounting and so on."

Now the others couldn't stand it any longer: "What do you mean by helping with the accounting? What accounts did you manage? I think you are just being supported by a woman!!"

Tang Erhe said: "The Chen family is big and powerful. I think that capable people should do more. There is nothing wrong with it. There is nothing for the couple to worry about."

"What nonsense!" Tang Duanwu said, "Aren't you just a son-in-law?"

"Yes! It's embarrassing!" Another clan leader simply couldn't stand it: "Tell me yourself, are you marrying into someone else's family?"

Tang Erhe obviously didn't think much about it. After making two excuses, he directly admitted it.

Then Tang Youzhong stood up suddenly and performed his only role today, "I'm going to find my dad!!"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Tang Qingshan also said with a cold face: "Rong'er!"

The second brother responded and went downstairs. Tang Erhe realized something was wrong: "What are you doing? Big brother, why are you angry? I didn't kill anyone or set any fire. You don't know, there are actually many such things. Let me tell you, eight out of ten of those who are chosen as son-in-law are married into the family..."

However, since the person has been tricked, who would care about him?

After a while, the old patriarch arrived and brought many villagers with him.

The old patriarch performed passionately, his beard trembling: "Tang Erhe! I thought you were rich, but I never expected that you would become someone's son-in-law! If this gets out, the old and young men in our Tang family can't afford to lose this person! I will make the decision today to remove you from the family tree!!"

Tang Qingshan also said: "My children and grandchildren still have dignity and they still have to study and take the imperial examinations. I cannot be related to the son-in-law, so I will also break off the relationship!!"

Tang Erhe was stunned and anxious, not knowing what to do. He tried to look for Chen everywhere, but of course couldn't find her.

He had no choice but to agree now, and everyone joined in and dragged the man to the ancestral hall.

For matters like leaving the clan, the clan leader and elders' consent is sufficient, his consent is not needed, and the same applies to matters like severing a relationship, just write a letter of severance, keep a copy with the clan leader, and each person keeps a copy and the relationship is severed.

In fact, in previous dynasties, such as the Tang Dynasty, the status of a son-in-law was not that low. For example, Li Bai was a son-in-law twice.

However, in the Dayan Dynasty, because the imperial court attached great importance to the issue of population taxation, the law explicitly regarded the son-in-law as a pariah. Of course, the people were even more discriminated against. They were not included in the household registration of either side and were treated as slaves. People would spit on them when they saw them on the street.

Therefore, expelling him from the family tree and severing ties with Tang Qingshan were both very reasonable and beyond reproach.

In less than half an hour, everything was done.

Tang Erhe still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. He was so anxious that he kept turning around and asked, "Where is Chen? Where did you take Chen?"

Someone had already pushed Chen out, and then the old patriarch said, "Don't come here again! It's embarrassing!!"
