I think of that woman whose image is so blurred in my memory that I can barely recall her face.
I loved her so much back then; she was all I could think about.
I don't know when it started, but I can no longer remember what she looks like.
Look how patient he is!
Once the matter is settled, bury him as he sees fit, and he will never remember him again.
His thoughts wandered further and further away, but Zhang Laowu brought them back at just the right moment. Looking at Fang Yaojin in front of him, the dim light of dawn obscured the malicious glint in his eyes.
He quickly suppressed the light again.
He's not a bad person, but he's not a mad dog that bites anyone he sees. Trash like Fang Yaojin will definitely not have a good ending. He doesn't need to lift a finger; he'll get what's coming to him someday.
Strangely enough, looking at Fang Yaojin now, Zhang Laowu could tell that Fang Yaojin would never have a good ending.
But when he saw the chubby boy, he never thought about what would happen to him if he continued to let the boy run wild.
Thinking about how Fang Yaojin found such a new home for Fang Yan in order to avenge Fang Baishuang, and how his life afterward was even more miserable than when he was in the Zhang family.
Zhang Laowu was relieved, and his mood improved considerably. He pretended not to hear Fang Yaojin's threats and warnings, and instead asked Fang Yaojin, "Have you arranged everything for tomorrow?"
If tomorrow's arrangements are made properly, then everything else will go smoothly.
Otherwise, that hundred yuan would be wasted.
Fang Yaojin thought that his "reprimand" had worked, and that Zhang Laowu's attitude of not daring to utter a single word this time had pleased him.
"You old codger, just relax and keep your mind at ease. This time, you're not going to miss out on this hundred yuan."
He made two special trips to Fucheng for this matter.
Oh, he made two trips to Fucheng, and it was all for this.
Half of it was for today's matter.
Since today's events had nothing to do with Zhang Laowu, Fang Yaojin didn't mention them to him.
Remembering that he was going to work alone today, Fang Yaojin started to shoo people away, "Alright, everything's been said, you can go back now. I'll leave after you've gone far away."
"Is there something else you want to say?" Although Zhang Laowu was old and his eyesight was failing, he had been a bad boy since childhood.
Having been around for so many years, I have a very keen sense for what's "bad".
Even though the light was still a bit dim, Zhang Laowu still keenly sensed Fang Yaojin's thoughts.
Fang Yaojin never expected that even though he hadn't shown anything, this old beast could still see through him.
He was taken aback at first, but quickly recovered, raising an eyebrow at Zhang Laowu, "What? Do I need to report my affairs to you one by one?"
He's just a hoodlum, and what he's doing certainly isn't just about Fang Yan.
Fang Yaojin refused to believe that Zhang Laowu, that old beast, would dare to ask any more questions.
As expected, Zhang Laowu didn't ask any further questions. He simply stared at Fang Yaojin with his cold, venomous eyes and said, "Why are you reporting your affairs to me? I just wanted to remind you that you ruined one of our plans a few days ago."
Fang Yaojin immediately became unhappy, "Then you come and try if you dare."
Old Zhang hesitated, "This matter has already come to this point, why would we need to change people?"
"Alright, alright, just make sure you can bring me the hundred yuan when the time comes." Old Zhang suddenly stood up and walked away irritably.
He suddenly realized that whether Fang Yaojin had done something else behind his back, he didn't care anymore.
The more you interfere, the more likely you are to implicate yourself if Fang Yaojin falls from grace and his affairs are exposed.
Fang Yaojin likes to make decisions on his own, especially regarding Fang Yan, which he arranged entirely.
At most, when they need money in the early stages, they'll come to Zhang Laowu for money and casually mention their plans and arrangements.
Fang Yaojin was smug; in this matter, Zhang Laowu was so suppressed by him that he didn't dare to say a word.
In reality, however, Zhang Laowu had no desire to get too involved in this matter.
He's a bad person, but he also knows that a person's luck can't always be that good.
His luck had already improved once.
And until now, that incident has not been exposed.
It's all because he was lucky.
So this time, Fang Yaojin wanted to handle Fang Yan's matter himself. Although Zhang Laowu didn't like being subservient to others, he didn't try to persuade him and just let Fang Yaojin handle it.
He was afraid that what happened last time might have used up all his good luck.
He wasn't sure he could do it as secretly as last time.
There was another important reason why he didn't take the job: he always felt that Fang Yan after changing her name was completely different from before.
I always felt that they weren't so easy to deal with.
Anyway, Fang Yaojin likes to handle these things, so let him do it.
If something happens, he won't be implicated.
Zhang Laowu really left without looking back. As he walked, he kept thinking that once Fang Yan went inside, he could use the excuse of taking care of Xiao Yuzai to go to their little courtyard.
Fang Yan has been in business for so long, she must have made a lot of money.
Based on his ingrained thinking, Zhang Laowu was certain that Fang Yan would not be carrying so much money in and out of the county town every day.
That would be so inconvenient, wouldn't it?
Therefore, she would only hide the money at home, and Fang Yan would go inside as soon as Fang Yaojin made a move.
At that time, the only one who can take care of the little fish is his grandfather.
Once he takes over Xiaoyuzai, he will have a legitimate reason to enter and leave Fang Yan's courtyard, and the money will be his for the taking.
Thinking about how much money he was about to make, Zhang Laowu really didn't want to spend any more time thinking about what kind of bad thing Fang Yaojingang was thinking about.
Well, how should I put it?
If Zhang Laowu had asked a few more questions, he might have realized that the bad thing Fang Yaojin was planning was on the same page as his own idea.
Previously, Fang Yaojin had no idea that Fang Yan's braised food business was so successful.
After observing her secretly for the past few days, he realized that this little bitch was making quite a bit of money every day!
It must cost at least several tens of yuan.
Fang Yaojin had also considered going directly to Fang Yan and using various coercive and enticement methods to get her to hand over the money.
But he was also worried that this would alert Fang Yan and make her wary. How would he then avenge his sister?
Despite Fang Yaojin's unreliability, he has always doted on his only younger sister, Fang Baishuang, since childhood.
Now, Fang Baishuang went inside because of Fang Yan.
Fang Yaojin was determined to avenge her, no matter what.
He gave up in order to avenge Fang Baishuang and openly robbed Fang Yan of her money.
"Tsk! Why isn't that brat here yet?"
After Zhang Laowu left, Fang Yaojin lit a cigarette, but it was almost finished and the person he had arranged to meet still hadn't arrived. He frowned and craned his neck to look towards Gouzi Village...
