Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

Chapter 577 The Waiting Woman 3

The father-in-law quickly told this matter to other people in the village. Most people believed it, but a very small number of people were unwilling to give up this benefit. After all, it was excellent land. Some people worked hard all their lives and might not be able to save enough to buy an acre of land. Now others were giving it away for free. It was simply pie in the sky.

"Brother Wang, I came here today to discuss something good with you."

Their small courtyard welcomed a distinguished guest today - Landlord Wang. It is said that both of them have the surname Wang and they have the same ancestor more than 100 years ago, but Landlord Wang is smart. He ran away when he was young, and later made a lot of money and bought hundreds of acres of land. He then rented these lands to other people. His reputation in the village is neither good nor bad.

Ever since my father-in-law received Su Tong's advice last time, he didn't dare to get too close to such a landlord, so he just smiled and agreed twice, without any warmth on his face.

Landlord Wang naturally understood the reason and continued to smile. He was indeed a big businessman and could swallow such anger.

For a landlord, it is already humiliating to be humble to an ordinary farmer. If an ordinary person was treated so coldly, he would have turned against the farmer long ago. However, Landlord Wang was still able to keep his dignity.

"I have a son who is 18 years old this year. He has been studying abroad for many years and has never married.

Brother Wang, your son has not been heard from since. No one knows what happened. Rather than waiting in vain for a lifetime, it's better to let your daughter-in-law suffer. A live-in son-in-law, my son's surname is Wang, and we were a family for hundreds of years. I will marry my son to your family. From now on, my son will be your son, and our two families will be in-laws.

Of course, if you're worried, I can write a letter of severance to my son and will absolutely not have any contact with your family in the future."

It was the first time that Su Tong saw a father sending his son to be a son-in-law, but he understood after thinking about it carefully.

Landlord Wang probably felt that his family was about to fall apart, so he naturally wanted to find a way out for his son. At least the son-in-law in his family would not be criticized. The key point was that he was the only daughter-in-law in the Wang family, and her background was simple. The old couple were kind people.

The father-in-law was indeed a little hesitant, because this proposal was indeed very good. He had no news from his son for all these years, and he didn't know whether he died outside or really couldn't come back for something. If it was the former, he naturally wanted to find someone for his son who could burn incense and paper for him during the holidays, so that his son could also enjoy the incense and worship in the afterlife.

But in the end, this matter is up to the daughter-in-law to decide on her own. In addition, the identity of the landlord Wang is not clean, and their family may be implicated.

Su Tong shook her head in front of Landlord Wang, "Uncle Wang, although there is no news from my husband, I am sure he is still alive. It is a mess outside now, so there is no way to find out about my husband, but as long as the world is peaceful, I will definitely go to find my husband.

I appreciate your kindness, but I have no plans to get married at the moment, so you should find someone else."

Landlord Wang also thought about finding someone else, but he was afraid that his son would be wronged. Who in the whole village could be more kind-hearted and filial than Su Tong'er, not to mention that Su Tong was not bad looking and was worthy of his son.

But the premise of the matter now is that the other party is unwilling. A forced melon is not sweet. Landlord Wang wants to force his son to the other party, but the other party doesn't want it at all.

Landlord Wang gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, "As long as you are willing to let my son become your son-in-law, I still have some money, and it will all belong to you two. Although I can't guarantee that you will become rich, at least you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."

The father-in-law was a little tempted. The land was not easy to take, but the money was easy to take. As long as they insisted that this matter did not exist, who would know that they had money in their hands?

Su Tong is not a fool, and he is not short of money. The money in their hands is hot potato. There is no wall that is impenetrable. If he takes the money, they will probably not have a good ending for the rest of their lives.

"Uncle Wang, we are from the same village. You should know the current situation better than anyone else. There is absolutely no way we can take this money. You should find someone else." Su Tong refused directly. Now is the critical moment. He doesn't want to have a restless life for the rest of his life because of this trivial matter.

Landlord Wang sighed heavily and finally left in disappointment, but his father-in-law was still a little hesitant.

"Actually, being a live-in son-in-law is not bad. I heard that the young man is also very handsome and has been studying in the town in recent years. He is also a scholar. In our Wang family, only Xiangyang has read a few books and can recognize a few words. The others can't read a single word..." The father-in-law was still persuading Su Tong.

Su Tong sighed in his heart, "Father-in-law, if my husband were still alive, and he came back to find that there was another person in the family, and this person just happened to replace him, what would he think?

I know what you mean. You think that Landlord Wang's family is from the same family as ours, so we should help him if we can. But have you considered the consequences?

I heard that the fate of those landlords was not particularly good. Either their land was taken away or they were shot. In any case, they all lived a very miserable life.

The father-in-law turned pale with fear and said, "I won't help you anymore, I won't help you anymore. Let's each take care of our own business."

As expected, it didn't take long for the land division to fall on them. Landlord Wang knew that the situation was irreversible, so he took out all his fields and properties, saying that he must distribute these things to other people.

Because he had a good attitude and did not exploit others, and everyone was from the same village and said a few good words for him, Landlord Wang was not severely criticized and was only labeled a rich peasant.

The only pity is that the land is gone, the house has been divided among other people, and even the furniture and various ornaments inside have been divided among other people. Now the Wang family really has nothing.

However, Su Tong didn't believe that Landlord Wang would give in just like that. The other party was indeed very smart. He directly sent several sons to other places, calling it a division of the family. He had no control over where his sons went. At the same time, he gave them a letter of severance, and if they felt that the situation was not right, they could immediately cut off ties with him.

Landlord Wang and his wife lived in the dilapidated house of the village committee, and their lives were miserable. Even if people wanted to show off their power, they were too embarrassed to bully the two lonely old people.

Su Tong's family was naturally classified as poor peasants. After all, they only had two or three acres of land, and the average amount of food they grew was not enough to eat. Although his father-in-law would sell some things, most of them were sold to shops, so he could not be classified as a small craftsman.

After the land was divided, the organization organized a literacy class. Everyone in the village attended, and the elderly learned to read. Some of them stuttered, but Su Tong took it well and became one of the best students there.

Su Tong was not willing to stay in this small village for the rest of her life. With her outstanding performance, she obtained the qualification to attend night school. At the same time, Su Tong also told the staff her husband's name and identity information, hoping that they could help find him.
