After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Chapter 545 Touched

The power of clans, as a well-read Qin Yan, should understand. In some people's eyes, clans are even more important than matters of life and death.

Qin Yan could just stay close to his clan members.

With his current status, no one can force him to do what he wants or not.

Why do you have to leave?

"The kid wants to establish his own family tree." Qin Yan had nothing to hide on this point.

Patriarch Qin looked at him silently, and suddenly lost the desire to get to the bottom of the matter.

Qin Shucai silently held his grandfather's hand tightly, as if giving him strength.

"Shucai, now that you have achieved fame and honor, things are different. Sooner or later, the clan's affairs will be handed over to you."

"Do you support Qin Yan's extermination of his clan?"

This question was intended for the next clan leader, Qin Shucai, rather than for his grandson who was only concerned about his friendship with Qin Yan.

Qin Shucai shook his grandfather's hand and said, "Yes."

"This is a lesson for our Qin clan. We should establish clan rules in the future. Anyone who bullies a fellow clan member will be severely punished. The clan leader should teach people to be fair."

As the grandson of the patriarch, he is well aware of his responsibilities.

Helping Qin Yan does not mean disregarding the family.

Even if Qin Yan leaves the clan, he still has to offer sacrifices to his ancestors in the future. In this respect, he is inseparable from the Qin family.

"Forget it, I'm old, just follow your lead." Patriarch Qin understood and felt a little disheartened.

He didn't need his grandson to support him. He stood up slowly and walked towards the back hall.

Maybe at this moment, he really regretted it.

Qin Shucai personally saw Qin Yan off.

The two of them walked to the door in silence.

"I thought you would wait until you became a Juren or Jinshi before you asked."

Qin Yan lowered his eyes: "At that time, even if the clan leader agreed, the clan would not approve it."

Qin Shucai was slightly stunned. It was true.

Not everyone can give up being related to a successful candidate in the imperial examination.

The timing is right now.

Although the clan members were unhappy about Qin Yan's expulsion, there was another scholar in the clan who became a point of easing the tension.

Qin Shucai patted his shoulder and said, "I hope you won't regret this time of being unorthodox."

That's right, even if Qin Shucai sympathized with or pitied Qin Yan, he still felt that he was too impulsive to ask to be exterminated from the clan.

Qin Yan curled his lips and smiled, and a beam of sunlight hit his face, making him sparkle.

Qin family.

Fang Nanzhi and her father were in the chicken coop. The father and daughter were chasing the big rooster, one in front and one behind.

These chickens were raised by the Fang Tong brothers together. There were not many of them, only seven or eight.

Now that life is better, the brothers' meals have to change. Fang Tong goes to the county to buy eggs every day, and he feels like he's losing out.

I don't know where I found the chicks.

In fact, it was thanks to Tiezhu's wife that she helped feed the chickens, otherwise the chickens would have starved to death if the brothers were so busy.

"Cuckoo!"

The desperate rooster screamed and pounced towards Fang Tong's knees.

"watch out!"

Fang Tong swung the shovel in his hand and knocked it to the ground.

Fang Tong smoothed his hair, put one hand on his waist, thought he looked handsome and elegant, and gave his daughter a proud look.

Fang Nanzhi clapped his hands politely: "Dad, you're really awesome! Let's get started quickly, or the chickens will wake up and start running around again."

So, the father and daughter worked together to pluck the rooster's feathers.

Fang Tong squatted in the yard, making shuttlecocks for his daughter, muttering, "How old are you? You're still playing with these things. Don't you have to catch up on your homework on the way home? Why don't you do it now that you have time?"

"No rush, no rush. It will take a few days for us to return to the capital."

Fang Nanzhi waved her little hand, very happy.

Before returning, she thought her brother had failed the exam, so she stayed in the village for a day or two before going to Huai'an Prefecture.

But now, with all the mess going on at home about preparing the wedding banquet, she had plenty of time to write slowly.

Fang Tong glanced at her and reminded her, "But we're having a family banquet and have invited Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zhou. You never know if they'll be so kind as to come to the village for a drink."

Fang Nanzhi was stunned and her shoulders immediately slumped. Oh no, how could she have forgotten about this.

She ran into the house, and Fang Tong laughed secretly with glee.

As soon as he returned to the room, Fang Nanzhi took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, glanced at his brother sitting at the desk, and shook his head.

Her brother worked so hard that he passed the imperial examination and is now writing.

It's really stressful to have a brother like this.

"Zhizhi, take a look."

Qin Yan handed over the booklet in his hand.

Fang Nanzhi thought it was a book, but saw two big words on the cover: Family Tree.

She flipped through the pages and saw the names of her father and mother on the first page, followed by her second uncle, her brother, and her.

She blinked, somewhat confused.

"A family tree can record life stories. When Zhizhi becomes a great doctor in the future, we can add to it."

Qin Yan looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

Fang Nanzhi was so smart that he understood everything immediately.

Soon, the whole family knew that Qin Yan asked to be expelled from the clan and to create a separate family tree, starting with Fang Tong.

Fang Tong was holding the thin booklet, crying and laughing.

Qian Fengping smiled, but was not surprised at all, because her son had discussed this matter with her in advance.

Her opinion is that she has no opinion.

Fang Tong was a son-in-law, so according to the rules, he should have married into the Qian family. But Qian Fengping was a married woman there, and she was not even on the family tree, let alone Fang Tong.

As for having Fang Tong included in the Qin family genealogy, not only did the Qin family disagree, they themselves were not happy about it.

That would be too unfair to Fang Tong.

This is very good. Their family can open a separate family tree and directly become the ancestor.

Moreover, the first family rule established by Qin Yan was that both his daughters and his wife could be included in the family tree.

He always has to think about his mother and sister.

"How come you have such a big idea, kid?" Fang Tong wiped away his tears a little embarrassedly.

"You have passed the imperial examination, and the Qin family will definitely make plans for you in the future. How can you expel the clan just like that?"

Thanks a lot.

Now is the time to take advantage.

"Dad, aren't you also making plans for me?" Qin Yan suddenly hugged him.

Fang Tongshou didn't know where to put his hands.

"It's the same, I'm your father."

"Yeah, Dad!"

"Eh!"

"father!"

"Eh!"

The father and son kept shouting and responding for a long time before they stopped.

Fang Tong felt warm in his heart and couldn't stop laughing when he went out.

Everyone in the village said that if he had a daughter who was going to get married, and the son he raised was not his biological son, no one would take care of him when he got old.

He never took it to heart. He understood his own child's character and was willing to believe it.

Besides, can’t he use the money he earns to provide for himself and his wife in their old age?

But he never expected that Qin Yan would do this for him.

This shows that he is a good stepfather, Fang Tong laughed foolishly.

Qin Yan: Actually, it’s also for my mother, my sister, and my second uncle.

Fang Tong doesn't care, it's all for him!

Qin Yan's extermination of his clan was not a very glorious matter, so it was done in a low-key manner.

They only invited the elders of the tribe and the village chief to witness it. Tribe leader Qin came forward, simply completed the ceremony, and crossed out Qin Yan's name.

This left the village chief stunned.

Is there something wrong with their village's feng shui? Is it a trend to expel promising descendants from the clan? Fang Tong is one of them, and now Qin Yan is here? What's going on?
