Chapter 543 Calculation
"Pa!" Fang Tong was suddenly slapped on the shoulder, and he trembled all over with fear.
"Third brother, are you busy?" Fang Lu's voice came from behind.
Fang Tong let out a long sigh and turned around: "Brother Lu, why are you so sneaky?"
According to the Fang family hierarchy, Fang Lu is still his cousin within the fifth degree of kinship.
"Hehe, I've been following you, but you didn't notice me." Fang Lu was helpless. He wanted to talk to Fang Tong yesterday, but there were too many people surrounding him and he couldn't squeeze in.
You must seize the opportunity today.
"Brother Lu, do you have something to talk to me about?" Fang Tong was surprised. They used to be from the same clan, but they were not very close.
They had a lot of fights when they were young. At that time, Fang Lu had his parents to protect him and help him find a fight, but he didn't, so he suffered a lot of losses.
In secret, he and Tiezhu would always try to make amends for him, such as putting mice in his rice jar, throwing mud at people, etc.
When we grew up, we didn’t keep in touch much anymore.
"Nothing..." Fang Lu said carefully.
But Fang Tong nodded, as if to say, "I'll leave if it's okay."
Fang Lu quickly stopped the man, thought for a moment and said, "The clan leader wants to see you."
Regarding the matter of asking Fang Tong to return to the tribe, the clan leader has always maintained a reserved attitude, wanting him to give Fang Tong a heads-up and wait for Fang Tong to come to him on his own initiative.
This is a difficult matter. Fang Lu was hesitant to speak up. After thinking it over, Qin Yanzhong became a scholar.
Fang Tong became the father of a scholar!
Last night, Chief Fang, who usually didn't like to get involved in other people's affairs, called him over and told him to get the job done quickly.
Fang Lu is very smart and doesn't want to be a pawn in the hands of the clan leader. Fang Tong's return to the clan will benefit the entire clan, so why should he be the only one to do it?
So he directly gave out Patriarch Fang.
"Oh, let's go." Fang Tong's reaction was very calm, as if he had expected it.
This made Fang Lu quite uncomfortable.
Fang Tong has been doing various businesses for several years and has realized that if you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you, but if you live far away in the mountains, you will have distant relatives.
What could Chief Fang have to do with him? Seeing that he was rich and powerful, he wanted to curry favor with him!
There was no conversation along the way until we arrived at the home of Patriarch Fang.
Patriarch Fang was watching his grandson memorize his lessons in the yard.
Since the news of Qin Yanzhong's scholar spread, many people in the village have thought about sending their children to school.
Of course, there are many people who think about it but few who can afford it.
Even Patriarch Fang gritted his teeth and bought a book to teach his child at home to see if he had any talent.
He didn't know many words, just over a hundred, which was enough for him to secure his position as the patriarch.
“When a person is born, his nature is good…but the teacher is lazy.”
The child read it again, shaking his head, and closed the book.
"People eat pork, what should we do if it smells fishy..."
The wrinkles on Mr. Fang's face became deeper.
"What to do about the fishy smell? Add ginger to remove it."
"Oh, oh, oh." The five-year-old grandson nodded obediently: "Add ginger and salt to taste the fishy smell..."
Old Master Fang’s eyes went dark, he covered his chest in anger and fell backwards.
Fang Lu just walked in and hurried over to help the person.
"Uncle clan leader, uncle clan leader, what's wrong with you? Ouch, please call a doctor."
"I go."
Fang Tong said hurriedly, you can't just stand there looking at the old man with a deadly look.
Unexpectedly, when he heard Fang Tong's voice, Mr. Fang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Square copper, copper coins."
Tears welled up in his eyes as he stretched out his dry hand and grabbed the person tightly.
Yesterday, he also went to the village entrance, but he just watched the excitement from afar and couldn't get close.
He really envied Patriarch Qin and the village chief.
It would be great if the Fang family also had promising descendants!
Fang Tong had no choice but to use his hands to help Fang Lu help the man up.
"Yes, I am here, uncle, you get up first."
He thought to himself that this old man was trying to use some torture on him.
"Fang Tong, you're a good person. Your father was confused about what happened before. Since you want to go back..."
Patriarch Fang spoke with great sincerity.
He wanted the Fang family to have promising descendants, so he was willing to let Fang Tong return to the family, but he still had to give some warnings and establish his authority.
Fang Lu heard something was wrong and quickly interrupted: "Uncle clan leader, don't you have something to tell Tongzi? I brought him here for you, so you can just tell me."
Patriarch Fang turned his head and looked at him with cloudy eyes.
The two looked at each other, and Fang Lu lowered his head guiltily.
Patriarch Fang understood, so he didn't say anything and just brought the person over.
Fang Tong didn't bother to guess what the two of them were talking about, so he asked directly: "Uncle, if you have something to say, just tell me. Even though I'm a scholar's father now, it's not easy to be a stepfather. I probably can't help you with anything."
He said it first.
Patriarch Fang cursed Fang Lu in his heart for being useless, and his face showed the worry of an elder for the younger generation.
"Fang Tong, you are also a descendant of our Fang family. I know your difficulties. You can't write two Fang characters with one stroke. Don't look at Qin Yan, that child, he is still filial now, but you can't guarantee his future."
"Who wouldn't miss their biological father? Don't forget, his last name is Qin."
"As for Zhizhi, she's considerate, but what girl wouldn't get married?"
"Who can you rely on in the future? Sigh."
Patriarch Fang sighed deeply, as if he was extremely worried.
Fang Tong was really surprised.
He looked up at the sky and saw that the sun had not risen from the west.
Why is the Fang clan leader, who usually doesn't care about anything, suddenly worried about him?
This is really outrageous. Fang Tong thought that he drank too much yesterday, which is why he encountered these things after waking up.
He wiped his face and seemed to agree: "Uncle, what you said makes sense, alas."
Seeing this, Fang Lu finally chimed in: "Tongzi, there's a solution. You and Yinzi have already been transferred to my second cousin, and your lineage is recorded in the family tree."
Having said that, the hint is obvious enough.
Fang Tong finally understood what they were planning.
His expression remained unchanged: "Second brother's master, I can't do it."
"As for me, there's no precedent in our clan for a man marrying into the family and still being included in the family tree."
Not only the Fang family doesn't have it, no family has it. Marrying into someone else's family is like marrying out. You are already someone else's family. Who will leave a name for you?
Otherwise, why are most women not included in the family tree?
"Tongzi, you don't have to worry about this. Our clan leader is very broad-minded. He knows that you were forced to marry into the family and can understand your point."
Fang Lu thought he agreed and patted his shoulder familiarly.
Fang Tong dodged his hand and looked at the clan leader with a half-smile: "Uncle, what do you say? I remember what you always said, that there is no order without rules."
So, should we make an exception for him?
Patriarch Fang did not express his opinion directly.
He looked at Fang Tong intently, but found that he could not see through the young man in front of him.
This made him somewhat uneasy: "Fang Tong, I know you have some issues with the clan regarding what happened in the past."
"In the past, every household had a hard time and couldn't help you much. But now it's different..."
At this time, Patriarch Fang no longer wanted to control anyone.
When people return to the tribe, don't they still have to listen to him, the tribe leader? There's no need to rush.
After Fang Tong heard what he said, he nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "If the precedent can be broken, then can my daughter also be included in the family tree?"
