Chapter 150 His family’s top priority
Chen Yixuan frowned and said: "It's a matchmaker from Majiazhuang next door! He has a lot of information. Last night, he quietly came to me and said that a distant cousin of his had a daughter-in-law who could be our son's wife. I asked him about the situation, and he told me that his cousin's family disliked her for her tough life, saying that she had killed two of his sons, so they wanted to marry her off in exchange for some food."
"The man insisted on five hundred kilograms of grain, and it had to be new grain harvested this year. I told him that we had to meet his cousin's daughter-in-law in person. And for the eight characters, I had to spend money. Find a Taoist priest to see if it can be closed. If it doesn't work, the marriage will be abandoned."
Chen Feiyan was shocked, "She married two men? And they are both dead?"
Chen Yixuan shook his head: "Daughter-in-law, you misunderstood. That woman married a brother from the same house. I inquired about that family and said that they had many sons and had raised eleven boys over the years. That's it. Because the family is poor, his family has only married one daughter-in-law over the years."
After hearing this, Chen Feiyan suddenly felt cold all over.
Seeing that his wife was frightened by his words again, Chen Yixuan hugged her in his arms.
"Daughter-in-law, everyone has their own destiny. You and her are different."
When Chen Feiyan heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red: "But I'm still a little scared. Why is this world like this?"
"Why do they have to marry a wife?! Even if they sell the pot and sell it, even if they spend all their family's savings, they still have to marry a wife. Why on earth is this?"
"..." After Chen Yixuan heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then explained in a sullen voice: "Why do they marry wives? Is it not to have sons and carry on the family line?"
"They look for wives just to have sons. They give birth to sons but don't raise daughters. Then their sons continue to marry daughters from other families to have grandchildren..."
After hearing this, Chen Feiyan unconsciously thought of her own pigs.
"I feel like this is the same as raising pigs. When the pigs grow up, they will continue the family line, and when they are fattened, they can be killed and eaten..."
Chen Yixuan smiled: "How is this the same?"
"If a poor family has more children, as long as one of them becomes successful, everyone in the family will enjoy the blessings!"
"There was a family in Majiazhuang next door decades ago. His family also had too many children and could not afford to raise them. In the end, all his daughters drowned in the bucket of descendants. His family had dozens of sons. They started to make a living for themselves when they were five or six years old. Among them was a boy named Little Shit. His father castrated him personally. He begged his father to sue his grandmother and wanted to send him to Prince Xin's Mansion as a eunuch..."
"Ah? And the father himself did this to his son? He doesn't want that child to continue the family line?"
Chen Yixuan shook his head: "If there are too many boys in the house, they are no longer valuable."
"The little shit got lucky in the end. In addition, he looked honest. A eunuch who was engaged in purchasing in Prince Xin's palace fell in love with him, so he spent ten taels of silver to his father and signed a death contract."
Chen Feiyan asked curiously: "What happened next?"
"Later, it was also his good fortune. After entering Prince Xin's Mansion, by chance, he won the favor of one of the Prince's concubines. He became the general manager of her yard. Now, the little shit's parents are enjoying the blessings with him. He The family bought a two-story house in the county town. There is also a newly renovated old house in the village and more than 20 acres of prime farmland. During the holidays, the family can wear new clothes."
When Chen Yixuan said this, he felt a little unhappy and said: "Yesterday, the matchmaker told me the most about that little shit in his village. He also said that that person used to be his playmate. Now more than 20 years have passed by and he has become a popular figure in the palace, and he has become a matchmaker who goes around the streets to talk to people about matchmaking..."
Chen Feiyan laughed when she heard this.
"Ms. sir, did you think of our family because of this matter?"
Chen Yixuan shook his head: "No, I just think that since he is here to come as a matchmaker, he should tell me more about his cousin's daughter-in-law..." Chen Feiyan patted the back of his hand lightly and said: " Dad, didn't you make an appointment with him to let the wife there meet us secretly?"
"When we meet and talk, we can roughly figure out what kind of person she is."
……
The two of them were whispering in their own room. Next door, Chen Yixing and Wang Yingying were also whispering about their son.
"Master, what do you think our son will do in the future?"
"I originally thought about asking your brother's family to provide money and effort for our son to study. But I didn't know that your brother, brother-in-law and his wife are not easy to deal with, and they are not easy to manipulate. I can talk about it, so I just have to mention it by name. Our precious son is the reincarnation of Wen Quxing, and he will surely gain fame and bring them happiness in the future, but they are all cunning and cunning, and will not accept the offer at all."
"Now that we are getting older and older, our bodies will only become more and more useless in the future. If something happens to us in the future, what future will our only son have?"
When she thought about her son's age and the fact that he had no wife to marry, Wang Yingying, who had already recognized the reality, was particularly worried that like other men in the village, he would be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
When Chen Yixing heard this, he frowned and became worried.
He used to think that with his son's good looks and the strong support of his brother's family, he would be able to study in a college in the city regardless of how great his fame would be in the future. As a father, he could ensure that he would get close to the daughter of the master's family in the academy and please his father-in-law.
In this way, even if the son will accomplish nothing in the future and will not be able to get any honors, but with the help of his daughter-in-law's family, even if he and his old wife are no longer around, his precious son will be able to live a better life than ordinary people. !
However, his perfect plan encountered obstacles at the first step.
My brother's family refused to pay. They insist that they can't afford tuition fees or anything like that.
Chen Yixing got a headache when he thought that when his son had a kidney stone attack last time, his younger brother spent all the family savings - one tael of silver.
He had carefully calculated that if he wanted to send his children to study in a city academy and find a good wife, his family would have to spend ten taels of silver.
Chenjia Village is too far away from the county seat, and it is impossible for my son to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads back and forth every day. He was in poor health and could not bear the torture. Moreover, going back and forth every day is a waste of time.
Therefore, if he wanted his son to study in the county town, he had to rent him a house in the city. The rent for this house costs about one tael a year.
There are also tuition fees, which account for the majority.
Food expenses, living expenses, friendship expenses, travel expenses...
Chen Yixing became worried again when he thought about having to spend so much money to educate his son.
Worried, he couldn't help but tell his wife, Wang Yingying, what was on his mind.
When Wang Yingying heard this, she said excitedly: "So I said that our top priority is not to let our son go to study in the city, but to let him marry a good wife as soon as possible!"
"If he has a wife, he will have someone to take care of him and us. We don't have to live as tiredly as we do now!"
Speaking of being tired, Wang Yingying frowned and started crying to her husband.
