Father Fang was so angry that he pinched his philtrum. "You've read so much that it's like a dog's stomach. Even that silly girl in our brigade was promised off by her parents, and they accepted the betrothal gift. You're a worker, and you didn't accept any? You're a worker after all."
Jiang Wenhua ate a large goose leg. Seeing that Father Fang was so angry, he still had the heart to pat him on the back. "Uncle, you really have to listen to me. I'm not giving a betrothal gift because I'm planning to do something big!"
Father Fang: "Even if you become the factory director, you still have to give the bride price."
Jiang Wenhua: "I discussed it with Xiao Fang and decided to name our future child with our Fang family name."
Father Fang was shocked. "What?"
Jiang Wenhua was trying to get something for nothing: "What is the purpose of our lives? Isn't it to continue the incense? You marry your son, your daughter-in-law gives you a grandson, and your grandson continues the incense of our Fang family. Is that right?"
Father Fang nodded.
Jiang Wenhua: "Now that your daughter has married me, the children she gives birth to will have your surname Fang. From now on, all her children will be named Jiang Fang or Fang Jiang. Will your family be prosperous in the future?"
Father Fang was not convinced, "Why do I want her to give birth to a grandson? It's not like I don't have a son."
Jiang Wenhua approached him and said, "Uncle, think about the child Xiao Fang and I have. He will definitely have a bright future. What about your other grandchildren? Will they have the chance to become workers or even factory leaders?
Their parents didn't leave the village, so how could they possibly leave? In other words, even if they did, would their starting point be as high as mine and Xiaofang's?
Xiao Fang and I are both smart and already workers. Our future children will only be more capable than us. As for your grandchildren, your son and daughter-in-law will first have to leave the village, which is a very difficult step. Finally, even if you take a gamble and one of them turns out to be a genius, do you know how to educate them?
In other words, if you want Xiao Fang and me to help educate your gifted grandson, you first need to have such a grandson, right? Whether or not you'll even have one is still an unknown. So, to be safe, Xiao Fang and I's child should have a better starting point.
Think about it, and then you can tell the people in the brigade that you have several grandchildren in the city, who are smart and clever, and whose parents are leaders. Once you say this, who in our brigade wouldn't envy you? "
Father Fang fell into deep thought, "Are you really going to let the child have my last name?"
Jiang Wenhua and Fang Yingdi had discussed the idea of having two children, and his view on marriage and love from the beginning was fairness, so that's how he and Xiao Fang discussed naming.
So, he nodded solemnly, "I can write you a letter of guarantee. If I don't do it in the future, you can use this letter to report me. I want to be a leader in the future, and this will be my stain."
Mr. Fang was very tempted, but he was still worried about the bride price.
Jiang Wenhua continued to persuade him: "Uncle, think about it, if you marry your son, will the woman give you a betrothal gift?"
Father Fang: "How is this possible?"
Jiang Wenhua: "That's right, Xiao Fang and I will also give you grandchildren. Not only did I not accept your betrothal gift, but why are you asking me for a betrothal gift? Think about it, is this right?"
Father Fang shook his head hesitantly, "It doesn't seem right."
Jiang Wenhua: "Then should you also be grateful to me for giving your Fang family a chance to show off? With a son-in-law like me, shouldn't you be secretly happy?"
Father Fang seemed to have figured it out at that moment. He quickly snatched the other goose leg from his eldest son's bowl and put it into Jiang Wenhua's. "Xiao Jiang, I told you you're a good child. I'm relieved to have San Ya with you! Eat, eat more. You look so thin. You need to eat more. Otherwise, when will my grandson be born?"
Jiang Wenhua thanked her shamelessly and then put the goose leg into Fang Yingdi's bowl. "Little Fang should eat more. She's weak and hasn't had a good diet before. I feel so sorry for her."
Father Fang shouted, "Mom, take the fish that the team has allocated to Xiao Jiang and the others. Take the biggest one."
Jiang Wenhua and Fang Yingdi returned home with a full load. Fang's father even borrowed an ox cart to take them a long way, and finally reluctantly asked them to have more children for the Fang family.
Fang Yingdi watched in amazement as this man had deceived his parents and even stopped listening to the Fang family's sons.
He even directly said that he would bring his younger sister Si Ya to the city and not let them marry casually.
Mr. Fang was not happy and said that he didn't even want to accept San Ya's betrothal gift, so why did he want to take Si Ya away.
Jiang Wenhua tried to deceive the old couple again, and finally made them believe that it would be best for them if Si Ya went to the city.
Fang Yingdi thought that she had some experience after meeting all kinds of people during this period, but if she wanted to learn the eloquence of Jiang Wenhua, Fang Yingdi thought dejectedly that even if she was given another hundred years, she would not be able to come up with such words.
Later, she told this story to Old Mrs. Xia, who was filled with sorrow.
Old Lady Xia's original words were: "Forget you, even I can't come up with such a thing. Xiao Jiang's evil ideas are not something that ordinary people like us can come up with."
After the Fang family problem was solved, Jiang Wenhua began to fool his mother.
Jiang's mother is easy to deal with. As long as you persuade his stepfather, she will not object.
Jiang Wenhua already knew how to persuade her. Her brain was extremely corrupt. No matter how he and Lao Xia tried to persuade and educate her, it was completely useless. Even if she was persuaded at the time, she would go back to her old ways in the next few days.
Later, the two of them, along with Xiao Fang, developed a function from Jiang's mother, which was that when they came up with a new and good argument to persuade others, they would use it on Jiang's mother first.
If Jiang's mother didn't listen, those words would have no effect on others.
If Jiang's mother listened to it and kept it in mind for a week, then this statement would be enough for people who are somewhat awakened.
If Jiang's mother listened to it and could keep it up for a month, that would be incredible. This sentence would be a killer for others, with a success rate of 90%. The remaining 10% failure rate would be trying to persuade people like Jiang's mother.
The wedding of the two was officially scheduled. In the days that followed, Fang's father gradually regarded Fang Yingdi as his own son. Isn't the one who can give him a grandson a son?
And he has such a promising son.
Ever since Fang Yingdi became pregnant, her father often traveled across mountains and rivers to see her, taking the trouble to do so. No matter what good things he had at home, he would give half of them to her. No matter how much his sons objected, it was useless because the baby in Fang Yingdi's belly was the most promising grandchild in their Fang family.
Later, Jiang Wenhua successfully broke up the deputy director's small group as he wished. Seeing that his situation was hopeless, he applied for early retirement. Before leaving, he said with a wry smile that he had been watching people all his life but failed at the hands of a young man like him.
Although he left, Jiang Wenhua did not become the deputy factory director quickly. Instead, like Chen Xiangbei, he continued to learn from Director Song.
It was not until the older generation of leaders retired that he took this ideal position.
It was also at that time that Fang Yingdi was officially elected as the new director of women's affairs.
