Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 921 Xiaowen's Peach Blossom Tribulation
The term "marrying into another's family" has never been a positive one, whether in ancient times, modern times, or even in today's highly productive world.
This means that a man completely abandons his dignity as the head of the household, goes to live with the woman's family, and becomes their servant, carrying on their family line.
Saying they were treated like cattle and horses is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's certain that most of them had no voice.
Xiaowen was, after all, a core member of Yuefeng's hunting team. Although his family was poor in the past, after working hard with Yuefeng for several years, the Zhang family had long since escaped poverty and become wealthy.
Xiaowen's income is quite high now. He receives a share of the regular dividends, and his salary from the mountain products purchasing and sales point is paid on time. The family's new house is also finished. The two brothers each built five large brick houses, making them one of the wealthiest households in Xing'an Village.
Moreover, Xiaowen is a handsome young man with impeccable manners; he's a smart guy. In Yue Feng's team, he's a reliable right-hand man who never lets you down in crucial moments.
Given these objective conditions, in Yue Feng's view, marrying the daughter of a deputy township head would be considered a good match in terms of social standing.
After all, Xiaowen could also benefit from Yue Feng's connections and background, which could be considered part of his soft power, and he was not much worse than a deputy township head-level grassroots leader.
However, it would be a different story if Xiaowen were to marry into the family.
Wang Xiaona knew her husband's temper well, so she quickly said, "Don't get upset. I asked Xiaowen, and he said it was his own choice!"
“Even if it’s your own choice, it’s not allowed! If you marry into the family and have children who take someone else’s surname, is this something to be taken lightly? Uncle Zhang is gone, and your aunt is just a woman with no opinions of her own. This kind of thing can’t be taken lightly!” Yue Feng said with some resistance.
"It's not the kind of marriage into the family that you're thinking of. Xiaowen said that he and his wife have discussed it and they plan to get married and have two sons, one surnamed Wang and the other surnamed Zhang!"
Besides, Xiaowen has a younger brother who's the pillar of the family; they can definitely make arrangements for him! The couple is willing, and it seems the father-in-law has also taken a liking to this son-in-law!
"As the older brother, you mustn't do anything reckless. What if you ruin things for Xiaowen?"
Hearing Wang Xiaona say that, Yue Feng still felt somewhat awkward. However, with two children, one for each family, Yue Feng felt he could grit his teeth and barely accept it.
"Alright, I'll ask Xiaowen about it privately when I see him later!" Yue Feng didn't dwell on the issue with his wife any further.
Wang Xiaona turned and went into the house to organize the account books. Then Yue Feng, carrying his son, strolled over to his father-in-law's house in the village office.
He quickly arrived at the village office's loudspeaker and cleared his throat: "Attention all village cadres! Attention all village cadres! Be at the village office tonight at 8 PM sharp! I repeat, be at the village office tonight at 8 PM sharp! Everyone must be present!"
……
Yue Feng repeated the announcement several times through a loudspeaker, then happily went to his mother-in-law's place.
Grandma coaxed her grandson, and Yue Feng stayed at his mother-in-law's house for less than two hours before saying goodbye and leaving.
When Yue Feng returned home, both motorcycles were parked in the yard. Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu, along with Xiao Tao, had been waiting at home for a while.
"Brother! You're back!" Xiao Tao greeted Yue Feng as soon as he opened the door.
"Uncle, ride a big horse!" Kaixin stretched out her hand to Xiaotao.
Xiao Tao, being a spoiled child, reached out and took Kaixin, letting her ride directly on his shoulders!
Kaixin wasn't shy at all with Uncle Tao; she grabbed Xiao Tao's ears and started running around the yard.
It's clear that the father and son play like this quite often, and they're having fun without being scared at all.
After the father and son had played around in the yard for a while, they were taken inside and handed over to his sister-in-law, Wang Xiaona.
Yue Feng sat down at the tea table, poured some tea, and asked with a smile, "I heard from your sister-in-law that you almost got into a fight with Zhang Junhong and his gang?"
Xiao Tao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It wasn't as dramatic as it seemed when we started fighting! We got more and more agitated as we talked, and we ended up shoving each other a few times!"
That idiot Zhou Chengwen acted tough in front of the village chief, thinking I was afraid of him. I shoved him so hard he almost fell! Later, Li Yinhua called Xiaowen and Xiaowu over, but they didn't budge!
Yue Feng nodded: "As long as they didn't actually do anything, that's fine! I just used the village loudspeaker to announce that the village officials will have a meeting at 8 p.m. tonight! I will make all the accounts of the mountain produce purchasing station public!"
Xiaowen asked, puzzled, "Why, Brother Feng? Why should we show them our own ledgers? My uncle and his gang have been eyeing the purchasing station's money for a long time! Seeing the ledgers will only make them more envious!"
Yue Feng grinned: "We're all from the same hometown, from our own village. The village chief is your uncle! I don't want to make things too tense!"
After reviewing the accounts and explaining the situation to them, if they know what's good for them, they should give up on this idea! If anyone still refuses to listen to advice, then don't blame us for being ruthless!
We've been saving this money for almost two years, and by next spring it should be enough to repair the road! I won't allow anyone to have any ulterior motives!
"Use it to repair the road? This isn't village collective money!" Hearing this, Xiao Tao took a deep breath, somewhat puzzled.
Yue Feng nodded: "We've all been paid our wages according to high standards without any delays! Don't even think about the remaining profits!"
Now that I've become the village secretary, I have to do something practical for the villagers! We're not short of money these days, so it's better to keep things clean and honest! What do you think?
Hearing Yue Feng say this, the three brothers exchanged glances and nodded.
The fact that Yue Feng values them and they've worked together for so long without any conflicts shows that the brothers are reliable in temperament and character. The eldest brother is indeed the eldest brother; he has never mistreated anyone. When it comes to making decisions, the brothers will absolutely respect his decisions.
Even if the money was used to repair roads and benefit the villagers instead of ending up in our pockets, the brothers wouldn't have any objections.
"Alright, that's all for the purchasing and sales point. Now, Xiaowen, I heard from your sister-in-law that you've found someone? What's the situation? Is your father-in-law asking you to marry into his family?" Yue Feng stared into Xiaowen's eyes, asking him curiously.
Xiaowen was unusually shy and nodded: "Yes, there is such a thing! My Uncle Wang introduced us, so I went to meet him! He seemed to like me a lot, so we gave it a try!"
The matter of Xiaoli marrying into the Wu family was discussed with me. She's an only child, and we can't let the Wu family line end! We agreed that after the marriage, we'd have two sons, one of whom would take her surname, Wu!
"The person you're interested in is named Wu Xiaoli?" Yue Feng's expression changed instantly upon hearing this.
"Yes, that's right! Is there a problem?" Xiaowen was a little puzzled, wondering why his older brother was reacting so strongly.
“Her father is the deputy head of the township, and he seems to be retiring in another year or two! Her mother passed away early, and she has never remarried! This Wu Xiaoli should have just returned to our area not long ago; she used to work outside! Right?” Yue Feng asked with a serious expression.
"Yeah, right! What's wrong, Brother Feng? Is something the matter?" Xiaowen also sensed that something was off. Brother Feng had just returned from out of town, how did he know so much? Xiaowen himself hadn't told his sister-in-law about it, so logically Yue Feng shouldn't know.
“This woman is no good! This marriage is a no-go!” Yue Feng didn’t answer what was going on, and directly sentenced Xiaowen’s marriage to death.
"Why? I think Xiaoli is alright?" Xiaowen scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
"Did you touch her body?" Yue Feng still didn't answer why he said that, but instead asked a somewhat private question.
Xiaowen's face instantly turned red and he slumped down.
Seeing his foolish brother's reaction, Yue Feng's heart sank, knowing that the worst thing he could have seen had happened.
Before meeting Wu Xiaoli, Xiaowen was a 100% virgin and had never had a girlfriend. Wu Xiaoli, on the other hand, was someone who could easily manipulate Xiaowen. It would be strange if she couldn't win him over.
"Brother, what's going on? You're getting more and more confused!" Xiao Tao, who was listening from the side, was also a bit confused and couldn't help but ask.
Yue Feng asked again, "Have you slept with someone?"
“Yes! It happened yesterday!” Xiaowen replied.
"This is a bit tricky! It's not that I want to interfere in your relationship, it's just that Wu Xiaoli isn't the type to settle down! You two aren't a good match!" Yue Feng clicked his tongue and then voiced his concerns.
In his past life, Yue Feng had heard about a local sex scandal involving Wu Xiaoli.
The reason I remember him is because his father was named Wu Guochang, and he was the deputy township head!
Later, Wu Xiaoli disappeared, and even Wu Guochang moved away after retiring. More inside information came out, saying that she was pregnant before she met her fiancé, which is why she was in such a hurry to find a new partner.
"Brother, it's not that I'm questioning you, but I want to ask, Xiao Li has only been back here for a short time, how do you know all this? Did you hear some rumors outside?" Xiao Wen was silent for half a minute, then took a deep breath and asked.
Xiaowen was certain that his older brother would never betray him, but having just tasted the sweetness of 'love,' he didn't want to lose it.
Yue Feng sighed: "I can't tell you how I know right now! But it's probably true!"
"You two know each other, and she was very proactive in advancing your relationship, wasn't she? Even when you slept together, it was like that..."
Xiaowen was a virgin until yesterday. He had no experience with men and women and was not a particularly gifted person. It was illogical that he could win her over so quickly.
Xiaowen nodded: "I guess so! I've never been in a relationship before, you know that!"
After verifying the information, Yue Feng remained silent for a few seconds, his mind racing as he considered what to do.
According to the script from her previous life, this Wu Xiaoli is probably pregnant, which is why she's in such a hurry to find someone to take her in!
In this era, unplanned termination of pregnancy outside of marriage is quite dangerous and strictly regulated. In addition, Wu Guochang only has one precious daughter, so he is probably unwilling to let his daughter take risks, and even more unwilling to damage her reputation.
If Yue Feng doesn't intervene in this matter, Xiao Wen will most likely end up being the one to take the fall, benefiting his father.
"I'll ask around about this matter again. Don't make any rash moves yet!" Yue Feng exhaled a breath of turbid air before speaking in a deep voice.
Xiaowen nodded: "Then I'll date her for now? I feel that Xiaoli is alright, except that she's a bit spoiled!"
Yue Feng looked into Xiao Wen's eyes and said, word by word, "Putting aside whether she's a good or bad person, I'm just asking you, can you accept being a stepfather to someone else's child? If you can, then I won't interfere anymore, you two can continue! I'll pretend I don't know anything!"
Marrying into someone else's family is ridiculous enough, let alone becoming a cheap father and raising someone else's child! Xiaowen isn't some penniless and incompetent older bachelor. With his current conditions, he can pick and choose any girl he wants from the surrounding villages.
Aside from a few people with unusual fetishes who don't mind being cuckolded, most men simply can't tolerate this kind of thing.
Seeing that his older brother had put it this way, Xiaowen shook his head without hesitation: "I can't accept this! But we've already slept together, how can I explain it if I don't continue the relationship!"
This is exactly what Yue Feng is worried about.
Moreover, Wu Guochang was a prominent figure, and if he wanted to avenge his daughter, he had more resources to do so than ordinary families.
"I can't think of any good ideas right now! If this isn't handled properly, it could easily lead to someone's death!" Yue Feng muttered, a little agitated.
"Or should I tell her directly and break up with her?" Xiaowen said through gritted teeth.
Yue Feng shook his head: "It's not suitable! She finally caught a big fish like you, and she won't agree until she has a better option! And you, why are your pants so loose? Aren't you afraid of getting a disease!"
Xiaowen said, a little aggrieved, "Big brother, you know me! I finally met a girl I like! She's been so proactive in throwing herself at me, I can't just be a beast! I'm a man, after all!"
That's true. He's in his early twenties, strong and healthy, and a beautiful, fragrant woman throws herself at him. It takes more than one man to remain calm and collected.
A direct breakup is definitely out of the question. If you reveal that she's pregnant, she'll absolutely deny it! Then you'll lose all leverage.
If they suddenly start crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide, even if Yue Feng were willing to beg for help to clean up their mess, he would definitely be in a terrible state.
Is it possible to get the other party to give up the harassment on their own?
Yue Feng racked his brains for a long time and finally came up with a plan! (End of Chapter)
