Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 373 Intimidation and Compromise
After Hua Qingcheng finished speaking, no one spoke for a long time.

Even Tang Yanxiu, who was acting in the beginning, now had a look of desolation on his face.

It is true that he has no impression of his so-called grandparents, and his only grandfather also passed away due to illness, not in battle.Of course, the reason why his grandfather became seriously ill at a young age was, on the one hand, the early death of Tang Yanxiu's father and the unfilial conduct of the Tang family's uncle; injury.

However, before Hua Qingcheng said those words, Tang Yanxiu was really acting.

But after hearing those words...

Even though she has no impression of her ancestors, Tang Yanxiu still feels uncomfortable.

No matter in which era or time and space, the heroes who died for the country are worthy of being remembered by future generations.

Noticing Tang Yanxiu's momentary depression, Mo Qianrui subconsciously stretched out her hand to caress the back of his hand, as if to give some comfort.

"This matter..." After hesitating for a while, the Patriarch of the Duan family finally gritted his teeth and said, "Yan Xiu, don't worry, I promise you on behalf of the Duan family that I will never let you do anything that goes against your heart. You and Duan Jiqiu... No, you have nothing to do with Duan Jiqiu, she is just your cousin, that's all."

When the head of the Duan family opened his mouth, it indicated that Tang Yanxiu had finally broken away from the circle of right and wrong.

Regardless of whether Duan Jiqiu can get married in the future, or what happens again, at least it has nothing to do with Tang Yanxiu.

"Thank you, Uncle. I also want to thank Miss Hua for her righteous words. I don't want to cause trouble, I just want to live my life in peace." Tang Yanxiu said lightly, and gave Mo Qianrui a comforting look, indicating that he was fine. .

However, the statements made by several people in succession put the two masters of the Wang family into an even more embarrassing situation.

There is a saying, but the old man of the Wang family is right.

As an uncle, he is not qualified to ask about the marriage of a nephew or niece.This point is not only for the Patriarch of the Duan family and Tang Yanxiu, but also means that the Wang family cannot really intervene in Jiqiu's marriage.

Now, the head of the Duan family has given up on Tang Yanxiu on behalf of the entire Duan family, so no matter how hard the Wang family puts in, this marriage is impossible.

But if Tang Yanxiu doesn't marry Duan Jiqiu, what will happen to Duan Jiqiu's future?

The old man of the Wang family quickly considered the countermeasures in his mind. As the heir of the Wang family, rationally speaking, he neither wanted Duan Jiqiu to enter the Wang family, nor did he hope that the Wang family would really offend the Duan family.

However, it is difficult to think of a way to achieve both.

and many more……

"Patriarch of the Duan family, do you think this will work? I have five sons under my knees, but the youngest is 25 years old now. However, I have three sons who are not yet married. How about you choose one of them?"

In fact, although the Wang family has many shortcomings, there is one thing that is better than most other families.

That is, the first wife is generally respected, and before the first wife has given birth or even before the first wife has not completely lost the ability to conceive, even if there is a concubine, they are given medicine.

The old man of the Wang family had five sons and two daughters with his concubine. It wasn't until after the birth of the last youngest daughter that the doctor declared that the wife would definitely be unable to bear children after being injured. So he let the concubine have a child.

Therefore, all his concubines and concubine daughters are a bit younger than the children born by the legitimate son.

In fact, the eighth master of the Wang family is also the same. Although he has not had a son-in-law for more than ten years after being married, he still did not let his concubine have a child.It wasn't until last year, when his wife gave birth to a son, that he stopped his concubine's medicine.It's just that maybe it's because the time is short, or maybe it's because he took too much medicine and broke his health. Anyway, so far, he hasn't had a single child from a concubine.

However, the eighth master of the Wang family strongly agrees with the words of the eldest master of the Wang family.

This concubine is different from the first son.

Usually in a family, the concubine would have to leave home after getting married. Of course, before leaving home, he would get a settling allowance.It's just that, no matter what, the concubine is no longer a member of the Wang family after leaving home, at most he can only be regarded as a relative, not a member of the family.

Naturally, in this way, there is no fear that Duan Jiqiu, the mother-in-law, will bring bad luck to the Wang family.

"Yes, let Jiqiu pick one at random. Otherwise, I can also ask the other brothers. They all have bastards, and most of them are not married yet. I will ask them to let them take a bastard." Give me!"

The eighth master of the Wang family was so excited that he thought he had a way to get the best of both worlds.

It can not only preserve the reputation of his wife and children, but also appease the Duan family's anger, and most importantly, it will not bring disaster to the Wang family.

This is no longer the best of both worlds, it is simply the best of three.

And the so-called giving him a bastard is the meaning of adoption.

Earlier, the Duan family kept saying that all the troubles were caused by the eighth wife of the Wang family, so in fact, the most appropriate thing is for the eighth wife of the Wang family to accept Duan Jiqiu as her daughter-in-law.It's a pity that although the eighth wife of the Wang family gave birth to a son-in-law last year, she was really too young.Besides, whether it is the eighth wife or the eighth master of the Wang family, they must be reluctant to bear the suffering of the son, especially if the son marries Duan Jiqiu, it will implicate the Wang family.

But the bastard is different.

Adopting a concubine with my brothers, and then let the concubine marry Duan Jiqiu, and after they get married, they will pay a settling-in allowance, and the matter is considered settled.

What a happy ending!
"You are dreaming!"

No, the head of the Duan family cut off the hope of the two masters of the Wang family as soon as he spoke.

"Duan Jiqiu's father is indeed a concubine, but he was raised by my mother since he was a child. And my Duan family is more than a step higher than your Wang family. You actually want the Wang family's concubine to marry my Duan My girl, what is it if it’s not a dream?”

Of course, Duan Jiqiu's mother was the Wang family's most favored first-line daughter, and married Duan Jiqiu's father, who was a concubine. Even so, it was still the Wang family who made the marriage.

It's just that this high-married girl is low-begging for a daughter-in-law, even if the Wang family is high on this marriage, it doesn't matter.

But if it's the other way around...

Don't forget, even though Duan Jiqiu's father is a concubine, she is a serious daughter-in-law, and both she and her father were once raised by the old lady of the Duan family.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you Duan family want?" The dream of the eighth master of the Wang family was shattered, and he couldn't bear it right now.

"How about it? Of course, let the son of your Wang family come to marry Jiqiu."

"You...you are the one dreaming!"

A concubine and a concubine are completely different. The eighth master of the Wang family is confident in persuading his brothers to adopt a concubine to him. Anyway, a concubine is not used to establish a family. Sooner or later, he will leave home and live another life. It doesn't matter to give him one.

But what about the son-in-law?

The eighth master of the Wang family also has a son. Although his brothers are not like him, they only got such a precious son after thirty years of age, but the most important thing is that if Duan Jiqiu marries the son of the Wang family, in the future How can I let my son-in-law leave home?

"Hmph, I'll give you two choices. One, choose a son-in-law to marry Jiqiu, and you must not let their young couple leave home after getting married. Second, your Wang family can ignore my Duan family, then I will definitely teach your Wang family an unforgettable lesson."

The head of the Duan family said these words with a cold face, the coldness in his tone was enough to freeze a person completely.

The eighth master of the Wang family was completely dumbfounded. He knew very well that if the Duan family wanted to take revenge on the Wang family, his wife would be the first to bear the brunt.Next, I'm afraid it will be his seven prostitutes who are as beautiful as flowers.Even his most beloved youngest son will be blamed.

And the old man of the Wang family also fell silent.

In fact, the elder of the Wang family had somewhat guessed what the Duan family was thinking.The reason why he was silent was not because of shock, but because he was calculating the wear and tear of this matter.

Of the two methods proposed by the Patriarch of the Duan family, no matter which one is very detrimental to the Wang family.

If he chose the first one, he would have to give up one of the legitimate sons in his family, but fortunately all his legitimate sons were married, and even if he wanted to lose, it would be the unmarried direct sons of his younger brothers' families.It's just that not being able to leave home is another shackle.He could ruthlessly give up a certain nephew who was a direct descendant, but he couldn't bet on the future of the Wang family.

But if it's the second...

The Duan family is the local emperor of Luyang County, and its power even surpasses the status of the Hua family in Wanhua County.

And if the Duan family used their power to overwhelm others in this matter, it would be fine, the fault was on the Wang family's side. If the Duan family really carried out a devastating retaliation against the Wang family, I am afraid that the Wang family would not be able to bear it. He would also be laughed at by the people of Luyang County.

The old man of the Wang family put both options before his eyes, and carefully compared them.

Even if the two options are not good for the Wang family, but after careful comparison, there is still a difference.

"Okay, I will choose the first one on behalf of the Wang family."

The head of the Duan family looked at the elder Wang family indifferently, and he was not surprised at the elder master Wang's choice.

There is an element of luck here.

If you choose the first one, then the so-called saying that returning to the mother-in-law will harm the husband's family may be true, but it may not be true.This probability is at most half and half.

But on the other hand, if the Wang family couldn't think twice and chose the second one, the revenge from the Duan family would actually exist.

Rather than face the real retaliation, why not take a chance, maybe things are not so bad?

Another point is that the head of the Duan family had already thought of it but was unwilling to remind the Wang family.

In Luyang County, returning to the mother represents bad luck, but what if she dies?

From the very beginning, the Patriarch of the Duan family only asked the Wang family to produce a legitimate son to marry Duan Jiqiu, and he could not leave home after getting married.But the head of the Duan family never asked the Wang family to guarantee Duan Jiqiu's safety.

In other words, whether the Duan family or the Wang family wanted the family's reputation.

As for Duan Jiqiu's happiness or life safety, it is not in the consideration of the two parties at all.

Of course, to the Patriarch of the Duan family, it doesn't matter if Duan Jiqiu is dead or alive.He would never remind the Wang family, it depends on whether the Wang family is transparent or not.Or, before Duan Jiqiu brought bad luck to the Wang family, the Patriarch of the Duan family still hoped that this poor niece would live as well as possible.

Just leave it to your fate!
