that his daughter-in-law will change her heart after she gains more experience and knowledge.Even though he gritted his teeth and said such harsh words, Zong Yu still couldn't be sure if, on the day w...Even Fang Dazhu started sighing with worry when things got serious.
Today's events dealt him a significant blow.
"Your sister Jinxiu, now that she has eyes on top of her head, doesn't look down on us anymore."
"In front of the whole village, he dared to talk back and even said that he had nothing to do with our Fang family anymore."
Fang Jianren let out a sneer, “Father, let her have her moment of triumph first. What can a mere girl accomplish”
"Just riding on the coattails of someone else's family, acting like a big shot now."
"Father, please rest assured. When your son makes a name for himself in the Liu family, I will make Fang Jinshi regret treating you like this today."
Fang Dazhu patted his son's hand, and finally felt a little comforted in his heart.
My son wasn't raised for nothing after all.
Fang Jianren had just finished painting a picture for his father and, with a sly grin, rubbed his hands together and asked.
"Father, do we still have any silver saved at home"
Fang Dazhu's expression, which had just softened, immediately tensed up again.
"Money, money, money. There's no more money at home."
"What do you want the money for"
Fang Jianren feigned helplessness and said, "Father, I'm a grown man after all. Even if I marry into the Liu family as a son-in-law, without a single copper coin on me, I'll only be looked down upon by the Liu family."
"I thought our family was rushing to marry into theirs just to take advantage of them."
"If this gets out, our Liu family will be shamed."
"If I had money, I could be more assertive at Liu's place, letting outsiders know that the Fang family has a straight backbone."
After hesitating for a long time, Fang Da Zhu was finally persuaded by his son's words.
He had nothing else in his life but to uphold the honor of his Fang family ancestors.
Marrying into another family is not a glorious thing, it's better to try and make up for it elsewhere.
That's it.
Hey!
Fang Dazhu kneaded for a long time, and the moment he got up and returned to the room, Fang Jianren's eyes flashed with triumph.
After a while, Fang Dazhu came out of the room holding two ounces of silver.
"Jianren, this is our last chance."
Before he could finish his words, Fang Jianren snatched the silver from his hand.
"Oh, Daddy, I know!"
"Our family is having a hard time, and the times are tough right now. Rest assured, I will definitely use this money wisely and won't waste it."
"Don't you trust me yet" he laughed, tucking the silver into his pocket.
Fang Dazhu originally still wanted to tell his son about the eldest daughter, Mingxia had been gone for a day and a night already.
It's something that should be looked for.
"Jianren, you big sister."
Before he could finish speaking, Fang Jianren took the money. He was overjoyed. He had just asked for the money to test his father.
He hadn't expected this, his father actually still had two taels of silver.
This old geezer is good at hiding.
As soon as Fang Jianren got the money, he became impatient.
“Oh father, I’m quite tired today. Tomorrow I still have to marry into the Liu family. I'll go to sleep first.”
Let's talk about it tomorrow.
He didn't even give Fang Dazhu a chance to finish his words, and he turned and walked away.
Wang Xiumei remained silent throughout, only speaking softly after her son had left.
"My dear, that's the last of our silver. You gave it all to Jianren! What are we going to eat and drink now"
Fang Dazhu didn't know, he just kept his head down and sighed constantly.
"What else can we do Jianren is our only son. If he loses face, it's like our whole Fang family loses face."
"From tomorrow onwards, we'll only eat one thin meal a day and go to other places to see if we can dig up some wild vegetables."
Wang Xiumei was on the verge of tears.
Fang Jinshu hadn't fallen asleep yet. She saw Fang Jianren humming a tune and leaving home again, she couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong" Zong Yu came over and poured her some water for a foot soak.
"Don't you think that's a bit strange," Fang Jinshi asked.
"What's strange"
"Fang Jianren had strongly opposed marrying the Liu family's daughter before, but he changed his mind overnight."
Tomorrow, Liu's family will come to take him back to marry, but he still has the heart to hum a little tune and run outside.
"Based on what I know about his family, it would be a disgrace for Fang Jianren to marry into another family. It's an utterly shameful act."
"They will never concede so easily."
Zongyu handed her a hot towel, and Fang Jinshu immediately relaxed her brows and smiled as she took it.
"Oh my, don't fuss about it. Take off your shoes and socks, just put your feet in too, let's soak together."
He immediately obeyed, putting his big feet into the basin of water and even reaching out to rub his wife's delicate little feet from the outside.
Even her feet are so cute.
"Do you think your parents and elder brother are plotting something"
Fang Jinxiu sneered, "It's not that I think so, they definitely have other ideas."
"Liu Qi is not a bad person. Her sister was wronged by Fang Jianren, and I was also involved in bringing this marriage about. If Fang Jianren really did something to the Liu family, I would be hard-pressed to escape blame as well."
Zongyu asked, “What are your plans”o offend King Jing."Just as the two of them were arguing incessantly, Fang Jinshu had already led Zong Bo to finish their opening remarks. She clapped her hands, signaling for the pre-meal snacks to b...
