Landlord Chen was a middle-aged man in his forties with a thin face and a vertical line of the word "chuan" between his eyebrows. When he saw Fu Wenyu coming in, he was surprised and had a faint expectation, with a strange expression.
But Fu Wenyu actually came to find trouble, so while waiting for the servants of the Chen family to serve tea, he said straight to the point: "Mr. Chen, I actually came here today to discuss your son's marriage with you."
Landlord Chen was startled, and then he was happy.
But the next moment, Fu Wenyu said bluntly: "My mother has already refused this matter, but you don't seem to have given up, so I have to come and tell you clearly. My sister Fu Rong is only ten years old this year, and we don't plan to let her get married now, so your kindness is appreciated by our family."
Landlord Chen: "..."
He probably didn't expect Fu Wenyu's refusal to be so concise and straightforward, so he was stunned for a while, and the room suddenly fell silent.
After a while, he suddenly said, "Brother Fu, why don't you listen to my conditions?"
Without waiting for Fu Wenyu to speak, he said, "I heard that you are like your father and are a good student, but I believe you and I both know that studying for the imperial examination is not a matter of one day or one night."
"For example, your father passed the examination for a student when he was young, but it was not until this year that he embarked on the road to the imperial examination. The hardships involved are not worth telling to outsiders. But if our two families marry, then I promise here that in addition to giving your family a generous betrothal gift, I will also help you take the imperial examination in the future."
He paused and said, "Girls always have to get married. Although my son has defects, he is as kind as a child. When your sister marries into my family, my wife and I will definitely treat her as our own daughter, just like my son!"
Fu Wenyu looked up and down at Landlord Chen.
I thought to myself that this man is really shameless.
Since the other party was so shameless, Fu Wenyu was not polite and immediately responded with a smile, "Well, Mr. Chen, let me guess, your idea should be to marry a lady for your son and then give birth to a grandson. First, it can pass on the family name, and second, after you and your wife are a hundred years old, there will be someone to take care of your son."
"Am I right?"
"But I wonder if you have ever thought about why your son is 'as childish as a child'?"
Without waiting for the other party to get angry, Fu Wenyu continued: "I have heard a saying that if a couple is blood relatives within three generations, then after they get married, they will either not have children, or they may give birth to deformed or stupid children, with few exceptions. And some who can give birth to healthy descendants at the time cannot be guaranteed after several generations."
Landlord Chen was stunned, and then asked: "You, are you serious?" He and his wife are childhood sweethearts and cousins, and they have a deep relationship.
It seems that he guessed right.
Fu Wenyu sighed secretly. According to the view of modern medicine, children born with mental retardation are partly affected by the environment, but the root cause is actually in the genetic genes. Inbreeding will aggravate this factor. In places where inbreeding occurs for generations, the descendants are most likely not smart.
So he nodded without hesitation, "Mr. Chen, if you don't believe it, you can ask a few more doctors."
"My sister and your son are certainly not close relatives. In fact, there are no relatives of your family in our Fujia Village. But I wonder if you have ever thought about whether your grandchildren will be like your son after your son gets married?"
"What will you do then?"
"When you are over fifty, sixty, seventy, or eighty years old, do you have to find another woman to marry your grandson or great-grandson who is as "childlike in heart". Then give birth to a great-great-grandson, and then a great-great-grandson, until a descendant appears to take care of his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who is also "childlike in heart"? "
Fu Wenyu knew that it was not good for him to say this, but to deal with shameless people, you can't use great and glorious means, otherwise you will be scared by the other party's shamelessness.
This...
Son, grandson, great-grandson, great-great-grandson...
Landlord Chen turned pale and shivered unconsciously.
At this time, he looked at Fu Wenyu with a hint of fear. Obviously, although it was only a few words, he was still shocked by the "future" described by Fu Wenyu!
No one knows better than him the pain of having a fool in the family. Because of the fear of giving birth to an unhealthy child, he and his wife decided not to have children anymore. Even if his wife persuaded him to take a concubine, he refused. And in order to avoid those complicated tribesmen, they moved here.
Now the only thought of the couple is to find someone to take care of their son, so that Jun'er will not be alone and helpless after they die.
But if Jun'er's son is also a fool...
Then what's the point of everything he did?
Fu Wenyu saw that Landlord Chen was frightened, and he felt a little relieved.
Didn't the other party want to marry a smart daughter-in-law, want someone to take care of his son, and hope that the genes of the third generation can return to normal?
Then he told the other party that you think too much!
Of course, intimidation is one thing, and on the other hand, Fu Wenyu also intends to show his strength today, so that the other party will not be intimidated by him and will resort to hard tactics.
So he changed the topic and mentioned Liuzhou Tabloid.
"I wonder if you, Mr. Chen, have paid attention to the recent "Liuzhou Tabloid"? "
"That was exactly my idea, and the story of "True and False Young Master" was also written by me and sold to Kaiyuan Bookstore of Mr. Tang's family. So I can earn the money to support my family and the money needed for the imperial examination in the future, and I don't need others to worry about it."
"So, please don't mention marriage again in the future."
Fu Wenyu said this last sentence very seriously.
If he couldn't reach an agreement with Landlord Chen today, he would have to use other means, such as ruining the other party's reputation in the newspaper, not building his own house, and moving away immediately.
Fortunately, Landlord Chen was not stupid, nor was he the kind of person who had lost his conscience.
After listening to Fu Wenyu's words, he looked at Fu Wenyu with a strange look for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "Forget it, marriage is a good marriage between the two sexes. Since you don't want it, then I won't force it."
"I took a fancy to your sister before because you and your sister played with Jun'er when you were young. You are one of the few people who can play with Jun'er. I feel relieved to leave Jun'er to you."
After saying that, he waved his hand, "Please go back, I won't see you off."
If you don't want to see him off, then don't see him off.
Fu Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then went out with the help of the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion.
But Landlord Chen said that Chen Jun played with him when he was a child? But the original owner didn't have this item in his memory. Well, it's normal, because he didn't remember the more daily things, but he remembered the Four Books and Five Classics very well.
When he walked to the door, the old housekeeper who wanted to say something several times couldn't help but said: "Brother Fu, although our young master is different from normal people, he really has no bad intentions, and is even better than many people."
Then the old man gave many examples of how Young Master Chen was a good child, such as being so kind that he didn't even want to step on ants to death, never beating or scolding the servants who played with him, and when the master allowed the young master to go out to play, he would share his food with the children in the village...
Fu Wenyu listened quietly. He had heard of some of these things, but not others. But no matter what, from these things, he was more certain that Young Master Chen was a mentally ill person, in other words, a child's mind.
So he said sincerely: "According to what you said, your young master is now fourteen years old, but he likes to play on weekdays. It seems that what he needs is not a wife, but a playmate."
Why should a child get married? Just someone can play with him.
Butler Chen was stunned.
Without waiting for him to say anything else, Fu Wenyu bowed and said, "Goodbye."
After leaving Chen's house, he felt that Young Master Chen should not get married.
The reason is very simple. A person who has always maintained a childish character will not mature even if he gets married. And what's more serious is that the girl who is married will not hate the Chen family? When the landlord Chen and his wife get old in the future, it is hard to say whether the Chen family will still be named Chen.
But this is none of his business.
Since the landlord Chen promised not to let anyone come to propose marriage in the future, Fu Wenyu will put the Chen family behind him and think about how to deal with Aunt Fu.
In the matter of Fu Rong, the landlord Chen is the main culprit and Aunt Fu is an accomplice.
The main culprit was not difficult to deal with, because the Fu family and the Chen family had no relationship. It was expected that the landlord Chen would give up after seeing his firm attitude and ability to make money.
But the accomplice, the second room, was more difficult.
In a word, it is easy to kill mice, but it is difficult not to hurt the jade bottle.
The mice refer to the greedy second room and his wife, of course, and the jade bottle refers to the grandfather Fu Dashi, his family, and the two children of the second room, that is, the original body's cousins, Chunhua and Wenju.
Fu Qingshi and Liu have been married for more than ten years. They have two children, twins, Fu Chunhua and Fu Wenju, who are eleven years old this year.
Their family is a typical bad bamboo that produces good shoots. The couple loves to take advantage of small gains and attaches great importance to money. They do not hesitate to calculate their relatives for this, but the personalities of the two children are not bad.
In the memory of the original body, the cousin Chunhua is hardworking and does a lot of work at home. And the cousin Wenju is the original body's little follower and admires the original body very much.
However, Fu Wenju is not at home now. He was sent to Liu's family to learn carpentry.
As a writer of melodramatic articles, Fu Wenyu has a wealth of oral experience on how to deal with extreme relatives. Including but not limited to blocking the door and scolding for a whole day, ruining the other party's work, calling relatives and friends to judge, using force to fight force, etc., but these methods, plus the premise of not damaging the jade bottle, can only be used rarely.
It was not until he reached the door of his house that he thought of a way.
