Chapter 220: Family
Whatever the old man said, the girl only stubbornly shook her drooping head; Then, when she heard the old man talk about the family, the girl suddenly raised her head and pouted angrily, "There must be many people in the family who say that He'er is too ignorant!" They don't like to see He'er, and they wish He'er would marry the young master of the Zheng family soon! β
What the girl said was basically not bad, and there were indeed many people in the Cui clan who said that the eldest lady of the family was too ignorant, but as the girl's grandfather and the patriarch of the Cui clan, the old man ignored their persuasion from time to time. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info not because of the weak guilt of the girl under the promise he had made and what he did behind his back, nor did he understand that this was the gloating of those who stood on the opposite side of the girl, but from the perspective of the family, he suppressed this matter for the time being.
Therefore, although this time, the so-called crisis of the whole family is coming, the old man does not intend to make the indifferent guilt in his heart disappear in front of this so-called family interests; Not to that extent, and not necessarily, there are more brilliant solutions. So, the old man is here to talk nonsense with the girl.
Of course, the old man didn't expect that there were people in the family who hoped that the girl would not marry, and it was said by a cousin who had been unaccustomed to seeing girls since childhood.
The girl's temperament is bad, and if she marries, she will only lose the face of the family, and she said three or four things in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, which really surprised the old man slightly. But it was only a little further in his thoughts that the old man understood what she was.
Without it, the girl is not suitable, and there is a more suitable person in the family - naturally she is the one who recommended herself.
The old man drove away his granddaughter, who was more stupid than naΓ―ve.
It's time to think about the heirs behind you!
This little thing made the old man begin to seriously consider this matter. Since falling out with his eldest son back then, the matter of cultivating the heir of the family has been put on hold indefinitely. Without it, the eldest son of the old man is the successor that the old man has prepared for himself.
It's a pity that both father and son have a strong temper that doesn't admit their mistakes, so even though the old man feels guilty, he still doesn't want to bow to his son, and it's even more impossible over there.
After such a delay, the family is thriving, so there is a stupid person like the granddaughter who recommended herself.
And I didn't see the importance of the eldest granddaughter at all, and those uncles and uncles who kept making small movements in secret and could only pull back their legs naturally didn't have a few old people who could enter.
The only boy from the second family who could occasionally come over to greet An, the old man once thought about exercising first, but then he was also given up by the old man - he didn't know how to read words and looks, and the basic dignity - that time in his granddaughter's boudoir, a large group of elders and peers were there, and he was still standing in front, and he didn't say anything, but he couldn't help it at first.
On what? Let's rely on my own slight kindness to him. In this way, it has to be counted as unbearable. has to be counted, after being scared by the uncle, he doesn't dare to show his face until now.
This is my own offspring! There is no one who can reassure themselves that they will hand over their family to them!
The old man was very annoyed by this, and while he was entangled in these, he naturally indulged his eldest son more intentionally or unintentionally; After all, blood is thicker than water, and when he dies, he can't shirk the family in his hands, and those old guys are still satisfied with their eldest son!
Such an observation and connivance can be regarded as a two-handed preparation.
The daughter asked her father what love was. The father said: Love is that the father has nothing, and the mother is still married to the father. The daughter asked what family affection was. The father said: "Family affection is that the father will never let you marry someone who has nothing" The old man did not answer, so the girl opened her mouth again, but after a few words, her voice suddenly became choked, and she took a deep breath with difficulty, "The granddaughter wants to ask Ah Weng, what is family affection?" What is Love? β
As with the old man's promise, the common denominator is inconsistency.
"In the world, Ande Law is safe, and it is not up to the family and relatives!" The old man finally turned around and looked at the girl who hung her head down and couldn't help trembling with her thin body, but he only said this.
"What about Awen's promise?" This time, even the girl's voice began to tremble slightly.
"That's it, He'er will go to the Zheng family first, as for the marriage, Ah Weng will not agree to come down for the time being, let's talk about it after a while" was clearly questioned about the old promise, the old man was silent for a long time, and then slowly replied, as if ashamed.
"Ah Weng is cheating! If He'er goes to the Zheng family, other families will take this as a signal of marriage, and then they will basically be sure that the marriage between the Qinghe family and the Zheng family in Xingyang is already a certainty. In this way, even if Ah Weng refused to marry the Zheng family in the end, He'er's reputation had been damaged, and even if He'er would rather die than marry at that time, no other family would want He'er. Moreover, He'er just went to the Zheng family in Xingyang, and there must be a gap between the Boling family and the Zheng family in Xingyang, even if I don't marry in the end and reunite, the two families naturally don't have the trust they had at the beginning; In this way, the alliance between the Boling Cui clan and the Xingyang Zheng clan will not pose a threat to our Qinghe Cui clan, and it will also achieve the goal! The girl raised her head sharply, and looked at the old man's eyes, which were already full of tears.
"It sounds a little reasonable, but it's not that simple" admits that the granddaughter's analysis is somewhat reasonable and true, and then the old man shook his head and sighed, "The patriarchs of all ethnic groups are all old people who have experienced war and have lived for half their lives, and they will not be so easily confused by such a simple and clear counter-plot, and the alliance between the Boling Cui clan and the Xingyang Zheng clan is not so fragile!" If my Qinghe Cui clan wants to break the alliance between the two of them, I must pay a substantial price! β
"Moreover, if the first-ranked Qinghe Cui clan and the fifth-ranked Xingyang Zheng clan really marry, it will inevitably cause panic among the other major families, and then they are very likely to unite and put pressure on our two families. For the sake of the family and face, of course, our clan and the Zheng clan cannot retreat. However, no one dares to make the first move, after all, the family that makes the first move will definitely bear the brunt, and they will inevitably suffer the most losses due to the competition between the two tigers! No family can afford such a loss, so despite the tension in the atmosphere, no family dares to come out openly. Then there is the secret forces that fight each other, and they will use all kinds of despicable means to prevent the marriage of the two families, that is, to do it to you and the kid of the Zheng family. But the vast majority of them will come at you, because if you move the Zheng family's kid, according to the Zheng family's old guy's spoiling grandson's temperament, maybe he will go crazy and die with the opponent! Similarly, no family is willing to break the net with the Zheng family."
The girl was analyzed more thoroughly, and the old man also told him some of his considerations.
"And if He'er unfortunately dies, Yi Aweng's temperament will only use He'er's corpse to maximize benefits, but he is unwilling to fight for He'er and the family that killed He'er?" While speaking, the girl's teeth bit her lower lip tightly, and she didn't feel it when she was white and blue.
"If you live up to your family and relatives, Ah Weng can't do it!" The old man sat there and watched the girl stunned for a long time, and then finally confirmed the girl's guess.
In fact, the old man has long had no scruples. Since the death of the girl's grandmother, the old man's life has been dedicated to the family, and the children's personal affairs and the like have completely drifted to heaven with the girl's grandmother. is not only the wife of the family who continues the string, as long as it is beneficial to the family, he can even do it to the eldest son's favorite woman, let alone the eldest son's daughter?
"Then Ah Weng let He'er go out of the clan gate, aren't you afraid that they will take precautions?" At this time, the girl was no longer as sad as a gaffe, and her voice changed back to the kind of soft and soft when she spoke, and she didn't cry anymore, but she was still inevitably a little hoarse.
"He'er, you're already in a mess" The old man sat opposite, looking at the girl still with her head down, and let out a seemingly imperceptible sigh, "Before anything is clear, the other clan assassinated important members of other families for no reason, which is tantamount to a naked slap in the face on the spot!" If my Cui clan can endure it, then the hearts of the family will be scattered, and the family will not be far from falling apart! Besides, the plan of our Seven Clans has not yet been realized, and it is too sensitive to do it to you during this period, maybe it is an excuse for others to send the other six major families to besiege it! You must know that the seven major families are said to be a harmonious atmosphere, in fact, if there is a chance to put the other party to death, no one will show mercy, and they all wish that they were dominant! β
"So He'er's trip to Xingyang is imperative?" Being pressed by the old man step by step, the girl finally couldn't stand it anymore, and spoke tremblingly again.
The old man didn't give the girl a chance to escape at all. may have been in business since a long time ago, and the girl's trip to Xingyang was his original purpose, and it has never changed; Considering the Zheng family's son, it is really just a consideration, it is for his own purposes, as well as the so-called possible future of the girl. Just like a transaction, the seller always has to open his mouth first, and then he can sit on the ground and repay the money to achieve the original purpose.
"Let's go first, at least we can add a crack to the cooperation between the Boling family and the Zheng family in Xingyang, so that they don't dare to cooperate in rescuing the kid from the Boling family because of your rat trap, and at the same time, it can also bring some buffer time to the family."
"What about He'er's marriage, how should Ah Weng think about it?"
The girl has nothing to say, and there is no way to retreat, and there is no reason to refuse. And this is the so-called family! Although she had expected and prepared for a long time, when this moment really came, she still couldn't help but feel a sense of grievance and sorrow in her heart, and she was sad.
She has done almost nothing, and now she is still a loyal guardian dedicated to her family! Unexpectedly, in the end, he still couldn't escape this fate of sacrificing everything for the family!
How does this make her not sentimental? After all, I have lived here for more than ten years.
Suddenly she remembered that she had argued with him about the family. There are a few sentences in his words - my understanding is that the original intention of striving to build the family light lintel is so that the members of the family can live a better life in the future, which is the essence of the family imagined by the first generation; Now it is for the sake of the family's interests, to sacrifice the future happiness of the members, regardless of the identity of that member, in the name of the future of the family; With the mind that "it doesn't involve its own interests anyway, and it is not his direct blood relatives or himself who is sacrificed", he asks the few people who are sacrificed to compromise, as if those few people do not compromise, then the family will perish immediately. With the development and growth of the family, the pursuit of endless material wealth and social fame have become the essence of the family.
Isn't this a kind of deterioration?
At that time, the girl had nothing to say, and just like now, the girl still has nothing to say.
"Half and half" The girl was confused and sad, and the old man opposite answered very vaguely, as if he was not answering, so it was naturally difficult to guess.
"He'er understands!" But no matter what the old man thought, the girl suddenly made up her mind, and her answer naturally seemed a little indifferent and resolute.
