"In the feudal society, the Song family's requirement for intermarriage was that the marriage must be between cousins, that is, the former cousin married the cousin, and the cousin married the cousin. This is to prevent wealth dilution or outflow, but now the country prohibits three generations. Blood relatives get married, but even in foreign countries, there are still many cousins ??who get married now."

"Later, our family precepts were gradually relaxed. Marriage with cousins ??is not required, but intermarriage must be with other large families. The other party's family power can be higher than our own, but it must not be much lower than our own."

Speaking of this, Song Wanting sighed and continued: "The family thinks that a certain family has the value of cooperation, so they will find a way to let the men of the family marry the women of the other family, or marry the women of the other family into the other family. Every member of the family must focus on the interests of the family and must not disobey any arrangement of the family, especially the marriage."

Ye Chen sighed, and said: "It seems that this big family also has the troubles of a big family. The richer you are, the more greedy you are for money."

While talking, Ye Chen was also sighing inwardly. It seems that if he returns to the Ye family, the Ye family will definitely exercise the same control over him, and may even look down on the Xiao family and force him to divorce Xiao Churan , and then introduce myself to a well-matched wealthy daughter.

It seems that this Ye family really can't go back.

Thinking in his heart, Ye Chen asked: "By the way, I think Miss Song, you are also at the age of marriage. I wonder if your family has arranged a marriage for you?"

Song Wanting shook her head and said: "It was originally decided. First, I decided on the marriage of my cousin Song Rongrong. His fianc�e is the daughter of a northern family that my grandfather appointed a long time ago. When it was my turn, my grandfather became seriously ill." So I don't have to worry about this matter anymore, but now that my grandfather is recovering from illness, I guess I will start planning my marriage soon..."

When Ye Chen heard this, he smiled helplessly and said, "Miss Song doesn't seem to want to be restrained by the Song family?"

Song Wanting nodded and said, "I really don't want to, but I have no other choice."

"Why?" Ye Chen said seriously: "I think your grandfather's conception should have changed after this life-and-death situation, and you saved his life because you found me this time, if he is really grateful You, you want a free body from him, or the right to freely decide your future husband, I believe he will agree."

Song Wanting smiled wryly and shook her head, saying, "Impossible, even if Grandpa loves me and wants to agree, he dare not agree."

"Why?" Ye Chen asked puzzledly: "Isn't your grandfather the head of the family? He controls everything in the Song family, so why should he be afraid?"

Song Wanting said seriously: "The Song family has developed for so many years and has developed many branches. The branches are bound by rules and everyone obeys the family training. Otherwise, once you break the rules, others will also follow you." Imitation, once your children are free to marry, the children of other families also want to be able to fall in love freely. In that case, the Song family will suffer a heavy loss. If everyone is so unruly, the Song family may suffer a complete defeat in a few decades."

Speaking, Song Wanting said again: "The Song family has been able to stand firm since the end of the Qing Dynasty and grow all the way to today. The main reason is that everyone abides by the family motto and does not cross the threshold. Our various branches are also monitoring each other, and no one will allow anything that will harm the interests of the Song family."

Ye Chen sighed, and said seriously: "I always thought that Ms. Song was a very strong woman, but I didn't expect that you are also a trapped beast, and everything must be at the mercy of others."

"That's right!" Song Wanting sighed very dejectedly, and said, "There is no way to fight against this kind of thing."

Speaking of this, Song Wanting shook her head, raised her glass, and said, "Mr. Ye, let's stop talking about these unhappy things, come on, drink! I'll toast you again!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, and said, "This glass of wine, let's respect freedom!"

Song Wanting was slightly taken aback.

Respect freedom?

Where did my freedom come from?

Although very depressed, she still smiled with a forced smile, nodded and said, "Come on, let us respect freedom!"

After another glass of wine, Song Wanting became even more drunk. She looked at Ye Chen and said with a sigh: "A lot of times I would rather be born in an ordinary family. In that case, my life might be more difficult, but absolutely not. With so many restrictions, what my family can bring me, except for this high status and wealth that I can't spend in a few lifetimes, has not given me any real happiness."

Ye Chen smiled. Said: "Many ordinary people are actually more envious of rich people like you who never have to worry about money. Isn't there a saying that they would rather cry in a BMW car than laugh on a bicycle. In your eyes, ordinary families are It's very rare, and in the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of ordinary is exactly what they want to get rid of most, and everyone sharpens their heads, isn't it just to make money?"

Song Wanting looked at Ye Chen and said seriously: "Mr. Ye, you are not here to make money! You don't seem to care about the amount of money at all, just like just now, a pill is 10 million, and you can make as much as you want. Ten million, but you don't want it and insist on giving it away, isn't that treating money like dung?"

Ye Chen smiled lightly, thinking to himself, I treat money like dung, it's because I don't lack money.

You didn't look at me when I was short of money.

At the beginning, Aunt Li was seriously ill. In order to collect enough medical expenses for her, I humbly asked her to borrow money at the old lady Xiao's birthday banquet.

I thought that if she believed in Buddhism, she would have the Buddhist idea that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and she might lend money to herself. JrNovels.com
