Chapter 1622: It Is Difficult for an Upright Official to Deal with Household Affairs

1622

"Last point, Chen Wen, the first boy you have with Nan Xi must be named Lin." Lin Tai said.

Hearing Lin Tai's words, Chen Wen was stunned. He glanced at his girlfriend in surprise, then looked at Lin Tai and said, "Uncle Lin, do you mean to get married? But even if It’s a marriage, and it’s the first boy with our last name.”

"Who stipulates that the first boy in a marriage must have the man's surname? Doesn't this surname mean just that? Let me tell you, Chen Wen, if your first son has our surname, the advantage is Huge. First of all, I am the deputy county magistrate. My relationship is there. My grandson has my last name, so he is no longer an outsider. When the time comes, I will be able to help him arrange his future growth path. Secondly, you If you find my daughter as your wife, that's a high level of achievement. For reasons and reasons, this grandson should all have my last name!" Lin Tai said.

Lin Tai's words made Chen Wen's father, who had always been an honest man, turn red with anger. He said excitedly, "My dear, that's not what you said. We only have Chen Wen in our family, and we just point to him to continue the family line. How can the first male child have your family name? What if he just gives birth to a male child? Then our family will be extinct?"

"We are not in-laws yet, so you'd better call me County Magistrate Lin. As for our Nanxi family, according to relevant regulations, she can have three children. The probability of giving birth to two boys is still very high, isn't it? The first one has our surname, and the second one has your surname, there’s no difference,” Lin Tai said.

"Uncle Lin, isn't Nanxi's brother still here? Can't you just leave the inheritance of your family to him?" Chen Wen pointed at Lin Nanxi's brother who was standing aside and said.

"Our Nanhuai family gave birth to three girls, and they can no longer have any more," Lin Tai said.

"That won't work either. The first boy must have our last name!" Chen Wen said.

"Chen Wen, this child belongs to both of us. My parents still don't have a grandson. It wouldn't be too much if the first one to give birth to a boy has our surname." Lin Nanxi said.

"Why is that not too much? There are still two in your family, and I am the only one in our family. If there is only one boy left and he takes your surname, what will our family do in the future?" Chen Wen said excitedly.

"Isn't it the same for boys and girls? Daughters are also passed down to future generations!" Lin Tai said.

"That's the same thing. Don't you have three granddaughters? Why are you still interested in my future children?" Chen Wen asked.

"I'm just putting forward my conditions. No matter what, if you marry my daughter, it's a high achievement. Shouldn't you pay more?" Lin Tai asked.

"I have indeed reached a high level, but when it comes to children, I will not make any concessions. The first boy must be named Chen. If the second boy is also a boy, he can be named Lin!" Chen Wen said.

"Son, you can't say that. It's really not easy for our old Chen family to pass down a single line to you. If you give birth to two boys, they can only have the surname Chen and no other surname! If the third one is a boy, then he can be named Lin!" Chen Wen's father said.

"Uncle, how could this be? The child is not Chen Wensheng's, but mine. Our family also hopes to have an heir," Lin Nanxi said.

"Nanxi, there is no need to discuss this matter..."

"Chen Wen, how could you do this..."

The whole box became noisy with a child's question.

Lin Tai's side used force to suppress others, and the first boy must be named Lin. Although Chen Wen's side was not as good as others, he had the guts and refused to give in. The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.

"Chen Wen, if you ask me, just listen to my dad. Our family's conditions are so good. You married my sister, which is a blessing you earned in your previous life. Just be content. To put it harshly, it's just us. With the conditions of our family, you should marry into our family." Lin Nanhuai, Lin Nanxi's brother, said with a proud expression.

"I think so too. Those with poor conditions should naturally give way." Lin Huainan's wife also said.

"I said how could you do this? You looked down on our family from the moment we came in. Although we are farmers, we still support ourselves with our own hands!" Chen Wen's father said excitedly.

"It's as if we don't really rely on our own hands to support ourselves." Lin Huainan said disdainfully.

There was an argument in the private room again.

Xu Taiping and Zhao Bigan looked at each other.

The love between these two couples can easily become confusing if it gets involved in the relationship between the two families.

Xu Taiping wanted to support Chen Wen, but Xu Taiping didn't know where he could insert his child.

It is normal for Lin Tai's family to look down on Chen Wen's family. After all, one side is an out-and-out farmer, and the most promising son is just a deputy director of the security department, while the other side is an official family. Lin Tai holds a high position, and the family still has They are all quite promising, so looking down upon them is not a deliberate look down on them, but a natural look down from deep in their souls.

Xu Taiping is very awesome. He could stand up and slap that arrogant Lin Tai in the face, but what's the point? Chen Wen is going to marry Lin Nanxi, not Lin Tai. He slapped Lin Tai in the face. How will Chen Wen and Lin Nanxi get married and live in the future?

Housework is the most difficult thing to deal with, isn’t there an old saying? It is difficult for upright officials to deal with household affairs, so Xu Taiping and Zhao Bigan could only remain silent.

The two families quarreled for a long time without any resolution. In the end, Lin Nanxi was crying with red eyes, and Chen Wen was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick.

This is what life is really like. Life is never as fresh and refined as novels. It is more of all kinds of muddy struggles.

Xu Taiping felt that the reason why many people don't want to be ordinary citizens is probably because they don't want to struggle in such a quagmire. If Chen Wen had been him, perhaps today wouldn't be in such a situation.

In the end, everyone stopped arguing because Lin Nanxi was crying, so there was no point in continuing the argument.

Everyone calmed down, and after that, Chen Wen still had the food and wine served.

Xu Taiping looked at his watch.

The dinner party, which was supposed to start at seven o'clock, was postponed until half past eight.

He felt a little hungry.

Although the food and drinks were served, the atmosphere at the scene was not good. Lin Tai kept a straight face and ate in silence, but did not leave. He didn't know whether it was to give Chen Wen face or something.

Lin Nanxi's eyes were red and she had already cried.

Lin Nanxi's eldest brother and sister-in-law on the side were full of gloating, and I didn't know what they were gloating about.

"Come on, County Magistrate Lin, let me toast you!" Xu Taiping saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff and took the initiative to pick up the wine glass.

"I rarely drink, I'm sorry." Lin Tai shook his head, as if not giving Xu Taixuan face.

"Then I'll drink it myself, and you drink water." Xu Taiping smiled and drank the liquor in the glass. Then, Xu Taiping poured another glass of wine and toasted Chen Wen's parents.

Chen Wen's parents were very generous and had a drink with Xu Taiping. After all, they already knew from his son's mouth that Director Xu was a man with great hands and eyes.

After Xu Taiping drank the second cup, he looked around and saw Lin Nanhuai, Chen Wen's future uncle. He picked up the cup and poured a glass of wine, then raised his glass and said, "Come on, Chen Wen's future uncle, Here’s to you.”

"Don't talk so early, nothing has been decided yet." Lin Nanhuai said, picking up the wine glass and taking a sip.

Xu Taiping drank the wine in one gulp.

After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, Xu Taiping looked at Chen Wen and made a comment.

Although Chen Wen was very annoyed, he still knew to pick up the wine glass and start toasting people.

Although Lin Tai refused to pick up the wine glass, the atmosphere at the scene calmed down somewhat.

At this moment, Lin Tai's cell phone suddenly rang.

Lin Tai picked up the phone and looked at it, then walked out of the box with the phone.

As soon as Lin Tai left, the atmosphere in the box seemed to become much more relaxed.

"Chen Wen, if you really plan to marry this girlfriend, you can't offend your father-in-law. Just stick to the bottom line, but you don't necessarily need to show it on your face." Xu Taiping whispered to Chen Wen.

"However, we cannot compromise on the child's matter." Chen Wen said in a low voice.

"If you can't give in, then you won't give in or talk about it. At this time, let's talk about it and marry the woman home first. What can you get from fighting here? Everyone's face is on the line now. If you can't let it go, the relationship will become tense, and the relationship between you two will be affected," Xu Taiping said.

"Hey, why is it so difficult to find a wife?" Chen Wen asked.

"After that, we have to talk about betrothal gifts, banquets, and so many other things. Getting married is very troublesome," Xu Taiping said.

"Director Xu, are you married?" Chen Wen asked.

"What are you talking about? How could I have ever been married!" Xu Taiping shook his head.

"Director Xu, with your intelligence and status, it will be easy for you to marry a wife in the future. A son-in-law like you cannot be found even with a lantern," Chen Wen said.

"Old Zhao, listen to what Chen Wen said, you can't find a son-in-law like me even with a lantern!" Xu Taiping said proudly.

Zhao Bigan rolled his eyes at Xu Taiping and said, "I don't have a son-in-law like you."

"I'm going to the toilet!" Xu Taiping said, got up and walked into the toilet nearby.

Just when Xu Taiping walked into the toilet, the box door was opened.

Lin Tai walked in from the door with a middle-aged man with a smile on his face.

"Old classmate, it's really difficult to treat you once, it's so difficult!" Lin Tai said with a smile as he walked away.

There was a slight smile on Lin Tai's old classmate's face, and he said as he walked, "I'm very busy with work, and I haven't been able to do anything about it. I couldn't even attend our last class reunion, but I happened to be free in the evening. It's so rare to come out and see you! But, Lao Lin, I have something to do in the evening, so I won't drink."

"Don't drink, just chat. Come on, sit down!" Lin Tai pulled his old classmate and sat directly on the main seat.

This old classmate of Lin Tai smiled and looked around at the people present. When he saw Chen Wen, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Chen Wen, why are you here?!"
