"Finally, Chen Wen, the first boy you gave birth to with South Stream must have the surname Lin." Lin Tai said.

Hearing Lin Tai's words, Chen Wen was stunned. He looked at his girlfriend in surprise, then looked at Lin Tai and said, "Uncle Lin, do you mean that you want to marry him? But even if it's a marriage, it's still the first boy with our surname. "

"Who made the rules that the first boy in the marriage would have to go with the man's surname? Wasn't this surname just that interesting? Let me tell you, Chen Wen, if your first son goes by our surname, the benefits are huge. First of all, I am the deputy head of the county, my relationship is there, my grandson has the same surname as me, then he is not an outsider, and at that time, the path of his future growth, I will be able to help him arrange it properly. Secondly, you have found my daughter as your wife, and that is all because of your feelings and reason, this grandson of yours should have my surname as well! " Lin Tai said.

Lin Tai's words made Chen Wen's father turn red with anger. He excitedly said, "Home, you can't say such things, our family only has Chen Wen, we only have him as our successor. How can the first boy have the same surname as your family? What if he gave birth to a boy? Doesn't that mean our family is doomed to die? "

"We are not yet in-laws, so you should call me County Governor Lin. As for our family's Nan Xi, according to the rules, she can give birth to three babies, and these three babies can give birth to two sons, isn't that a very high probability? The first is with our surname, the second is with your surname, there's no difference. " Lin Tai said.

"Uncle Lin, isn't this Nan Xi's older brother still here? Can't you just hand over the matter of your family succession to him? " Chen Wen pointed at Lin Nan Xi's brother and said.

"In the southern part of our family, we gave birth to three girls, so we can't give birth to any more." Lin Tai said.

"That won't do. The first boy will definitely have our surname!" Chen Wen said.

"Chen Wen, this child belongs to both of us. My parents still haven't had a grandson. If the first one to have a boy, it wouldn't be too excessive if he had the same surname as our family." Lin Nanxi said.

"How can it not be too excessive? Your family still has two people, but my family only has me. If only one boy is left and I take your surname, then what will our family do in the future?" Chen Wen said excitedly.

"Isn't it the same for males and females? Your daughter is also a descendant! " Lin Tai said.

"That's all the same, don't you already have three granddaughters? Why do you still want to harm my future child!? " Chen Wen asked.

"I'm just giving you my conditions. No matter what, since you've already married my daughter, you should just give it up. Shouldn't you pay a little more?" Lin Tai asked.

"I have indeed reached great heights, but I will not go back in the matters of children. The first boy has to be surnamed Chen, and the second one, if you also have a boy, you can have the surname Lin!" Chen Wen said.

"Child, you can't put it like that. It's really not easy for our Chen family to spread our bloodline information to you. If you have two male children, then you can only have the surname Chen. And the third one, if you still have a male, you can have the surname Lin! " Chen Wen's father said.

"Uncle, how can you be like this? The child isn't Chen Wensheng's, and it was born by me. Our family also hopes for a successor." Lin Nanxi said.

"Nan Xi, this matter cannot be discussed …"

"Chen Wen, how could you do this …"

The entire room became noisy because of a child's question.

On Lin Tai's side, he was oppressing others with the fact that the first boy's surname was Lin. Although Chen Wen's conditions were not as good as the other's, he was not willing to back down even with his backbone. The atmosphere suddenly became incomparably tense.

Chen Wen, if you want me to say it, just listen to my dad. Our family's conditions are so good, you marrying my sister is a blessing from your past life. Just be content with what you have said. Lin Nan Xi's older brother Lin Nan Huai proudly said.

"I think so too. If the conditions are not good, then we should naturally give in." Lin Huai Nan's wife also said.

"I say, how can you do this? From the very beginning, you have looked down on our family. Although we are farmers, we also rely on our own hands to support ourselves!" Chen Wen's father said excitedly.

"You make it sound as if we aren't relying on our own hands to support ourselves." Lin Huai Nan said contemptuously.

Another argument rose in the room.

Xu Taiping and Zhao Buqian looked at each other.

If the love between these two couples were to enter into the relationship between the two families, then it would easily become chaotic.

Xu Taiping actually wanted to help Chen Wen support him, but he really didn't know where to start.

It was normal for the Lin Tai family to look down on Chen Wen's family, after all, on one hand was a genuine farmer, and his most promising son was only the vice director of the defense department. On the other hand was an official family, Lin Tai was in a high position, so his family did have some potential, therefore, he did not look down on them intentionally, but rather the natural disdain that came from the depths of his soul.

Xu Taiping was amazing. He could have stood up and slapped Lin Tai's face, but what was the point? Chen Wen wanted to marry Lin Nan Xi, not Lin Tai. If he were to slap Lin Tai in the face, how would Chen Wen and Lin Nan Xi marry in the future? How would they live?

Housework is the most difficult to handle, didn't the old saying say so? It was hard for the Manchu officials to stop the family business, so Xu Taiping and Zhao Buqian had no choice but to keep quiet.

The two families argued for a long time, but still no one came out of it. In the end, Lin Nan Xi stood there crying with red eyes. Chen Wen was so angry that his face turned red and his neck turned thick.

This was what life truly looked like. Life was never as fresh and refined as novels, and most of his life was filled with all kinds of struggles.

Xu Taiping had the feeling that a lot of people didn't want to become commoners because they didn't want to struggle in this kind of quagmire. If Chen Wen had been him, things wouldn't have turned out like this.

In the end, everyone still stopped quarreling because Lin Nan Xi was crying, so there was no point in continuing to argue.

Everyone was still calm and collected. After that, Chen Wen had people bring the dishes and wine to them.

Xu Taiping looked at his watch.

The banquet that was to start at seven o'clock was delayed until eight-thirty.

He felt a bit hungry.

Even though the dishes had been served, the atmosphere wasn't too good. Lin Tai had a stern face as he silently ate his food. He didn't leave. It was unknown whether he was giving Chen Wen face or something.

Lin Nan Xi's eyes were red, she had already cried.

To the side, Lin Nan Xi's elder brother and elder sister-in-law both had faces full of schadenfreude. They didn't know why they were so happy about this schadenfreude.

"Come, come, Commander Lin, let me toast you!" Seeing the tense atmosphere, Xu Taiping took the initiative to pick up his wine cup.

"I don't drink much, sorry." Lin Tai shook his head, as if not giving face to Xu Taiping.

"Then I'll drink by myself. Drink some water." Xu Taiping smiled as he drank the white wine in the cup. Afterwards, he poured another cup for Chen Wen's parents.

Chen Wen's parents, on the other hand, were rather polite. They toasted Xu Taiping. After all, they already knew from his son's mouth that this Director Xu was someone who was extremely knowledgeable.

Xu Taiping finished the second cup and looked around. He saw Chen Wen's future brother-in-law, Lin Nan Yi. He picked up the cup and poured a glass of wine, then raised it and said, "Here, Chen Wen's future brother-in-law, let me toast you."

"Don't say that so early. Nothing has been decided yet." As Lin Nan Huai spoke, he took a sip of wine.

Xu Taiping finished the wine in one gulp.

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

Although Chen Wen was furious, he still knew that he had to pick up his wine cup and start toasting.

Although Lin Tai still refused to pick up his wine cup, the atmosphere had more or less calmed down.

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

Lin Tai looked at his phone and then walked out of the room.

After Lin Tai left, the atmosphere in the room seemed to have become a lot more relaxed.

"Chen Wen, if you really want to marry this girlfriend of yours, then you can't offend your father-in-law. You just have to hold on to your bottom line, but you don't have to show it on the surface." Xu Taiping whispered to Chen Wen.

"But the child's business cannot be compromised." Chen Wen said in a low voice.

"If you can't give in, then you won't give in and we won't talk about it. At this time, let's have a ha-ha, let's marry the woman first and then talk about it. What can you fight for here?" "Right now, everyone has a face that can't be put down, and their relationship has been strained. The only thing that affects it is your relationship with each other." Xu Taiping said.

"Ahh, why is it so hard to find a wife?" Chen Wen asked.

"We still need to talk about the wedding ceremony and the banquet afterwards. There's a lot of stuff to talk about, so getting married is very troublesome." Xu Taiping said.

"Director Xu, you've been married before?" Chen Wen asked.

"What are you saying? How could I possibly be married!" Xu Taiping shook his head.

"Director Xu, with your intelligence and status, it'll definitely be very easy for you to get a wife in the future. A son-in-law like yours won't be found even if you were to hang a lantern." Chen Wen said.

"Old Zhao, I heard from Chen Wen that a son-in-law like me can't be found even with a lantern!" Xu Taiping said proudly.

Zhao Bi Gan looked at Xu Taiping and said, "I don't have a son-in-law like you."

"I need to go to the toilet!" Xu Taiping stood up and went into the bathroom.

Just as Xu Taiping walked into the toilet, the private room door opened.

Lin Tai walked in with a face full of smiles along with a middle-aged man.

"Old classmate, it's really difficult to invite you out once, it's too difficult!" Lin Tai said while walking.

Lin Tai's old classmate had a smile on his face as he walked, "I was busy with work and couldn't help it. I couldn't even attend our last reunion, but since I was free tonight, I came out to see you. Sigh, it's too rare! However, Old Lin, I have something to do tonight, so I won't be drinking. "

"If you don't drink, then let's chat. Come, sit down!" Lintai pulled his old classmate directly to the main seat.

This old classmate of Lin Tai smiled as he looked around at the crowd. When he saw Chen Wen, he was stunned for a moment before asking, "Chen Wen, why are you here too?!"
