"Only one hundred thousand taels?" Fang Chenyu muttered, looking somewhat disapproving.

Fang Zheng was furious in an instant: "What do you mean by only 100,000 taels? You beast, you really think I dare not hit you, right?"

This time he was really angry. He had raised his son and had never let him down materially, but his view on money had become so outrageous now.

He doesn't care about the hundred thousand taels at all and has no concept of money at all!

Before Fang Chenyu could react, Fang Zhengyi rushed over waving a feather duster.

He started with a set of crazy stick techniques, beating Fang Chenyu until he rolled on the ground and begged for mercy.

Fang Zheng beat him while angrily scolding him, "One hundred thousand taels is nothing. Your father once led a group of people to fight in the street for ten taels of silver. He even lost his face just to have a meal. How can you, a beast, not take money as money?"

"Dad! Dad! I was wrong! Wow..." Fang Chenyu was scared.

This was the first time Fang Zhengyi lost his composure in front of him. In the past, even if he was angry, he would just put on a straight face and say a few words.

Unexpectedly, he actually hit me this time, and it was extremely painful when the feather duster hit my butt.

Finally, Fang Chenyu burst into tears and kept begging for mercy.

"Don't hit me, Dad. I was wrong!"

Fang Zheng threw down the feather duster in anger and said angrily, "Tell me! Where did you spend the money?"

Fang Chenyu rubbed his butt with a panicked expression.

Where did I spend the money? Of course I bought candy for my brothers.

My family never allows me to eat sweets. If they find out, they won’t give me money. How can I be the boss? Who will call me the big brother?

He has never been tired for a single day at school, and has never done homework for a single day. Isn't it all because of the support of his brothers?

What will happen if the prestige of the people below cannot be maintained in the future? So you must not tell the truth!

After hesitating for a while, Fang Chenyu stammered, "I spent money on a restaurant outside. The food outside is delicious."

"Eat out?" Fang Zheng's eyes widened. "The food at home isn't good, and the school cafeteria doesn't have enough for you. You're going out to eat out? How can the food there be clean?"

"I...I feel that the food outside is better than that at home. I can't eat at home. I...I'm hungry!" Fang Chenyu pursed his lips and said pitifully: "Dad, I just spent some money on food. Don't hit me. I will eat less in the future."

Fang Zheng stared at his son, trying to determine whether it was true or not.

It is indeed expensive to find a top-notch restaurant outside, and the children don’t know how to save money. In case they are ripped off by outsiders again, it is reasonable to spend a few dozen taels.

And he really didn't eat much during dinner tonight. It's impossible for a son of this age to lie.

Fang Zhengyi looked at Fang Chenyu's pitiful appearance, and his heart softened. He sat back in his chair and said coldly, "Okay, I'll just say that you were justified in spending the money."

"Then explain to me, why do you always come home when you have nothing to do when you live in the school? I heard from the teacher at school that you don't pay attention in class, is that true?"

Fang Chenyu immediately retorted: "The school is next to my home, I can't get used to sleeping outside, and my mother asked me to come back to live here! There's nothing interesting in the class, it's just telling those old stories, Dad, you told me all those stories a long time ago, I already know those things!"

"How dare you talk back!" Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows and stood up immediately.

Fang Chenyu instinctively stretched out his right hand to cover his face, but he didn't expect Fang Zheng to turn around and pull out a book from the bookshelf behind him.

She opened the book and flipped through a few pages. Then she walked up to him, pointed at the book and said, "Since you said you already knew it, let me ask you, how do you pronounce this word?"

Looking at the word "黾" in the book, Fang Chenyu swallowed his saliva, thought for a while and then laughed heartlessly.

"Hey, Dad, it's a turtle!"

"Fuck! Fuck!" Fang Zheng was furious. "This word is pronounced ying. Have you read so much that you are like a dog?"

"That's not right! I remember there was a bug next to the fly?" Fang Chenyu said hesitantly with his mouth open.

"Use your brain. They look similar, so they are homophones! How dare you argue in front of me? Your father passed the imperial examination at the age of fifteen, so how could I have given birth to an illiterate like you? People will laugh at you if you tell others about it!" Fang Zhengyi felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

I went to great lengths to come up with the marble scam to trick kids into studying, but to no avail.

After all, I am a college student with both Jinshi and bachelor's degrees. How could I give birth to a stupid guy who can't even recognize all the words and spends all day wandering around and spending money recklessly?

Fang Zhengyi said with great sorrow, "You have been squandering money and not making progress because your father spoiled you too much since you were a child! When your father was a child, your grandparents always told him to be strict and never let him down. I didn't want you to live that kind of life, so I have been lenient with you. I didn't expect you to disappoint me so much."

"If you continue like this, you won't have to go to school anymore!"

Huh? No need to go to school?

Fang Chenyu's eyes rolled around.

In fact, he had long been tired of school. If he didn't go, he would be confined there. As for his brothers in school... they were just normal. It's not that he couldn't go, he just didn't go to school anymore.

Besides, the toilet at home is much better than the one at school. He can sit there for half an hour. The toilet at school is far worse!

"If you don't want to go, then don't go!" Fang Chenyu said angrily, "My son is not that kind of material, and his test scores are not as good as others. I don't want to embarrass my father!"

Fang Zheng's expression fell, and he suddenly couldn't hold back his emotions. At the same time, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

I originally thought that scaring my son would encourage him to be more motivated, but who knew that this kid would go all out and actually catch him!

Looking back, he seemed to be like this. He was not good at studying and was scolded by his father, and then he said he didn't want to continue studying out of spite.

Then, people started talking about the classic dropout stories of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs... Only after becoming a working dog did they realize that they had been poisoned by chicken soup.
