Fang Yan didn't know if men in this era would act this way.
Many lewd men in later generations liked to use this trick, especially in the workplace. They particularly liked to use this trick to bully new female employees who were just starting out in society, under the guise of joking.
Some girls are shy and value their jobs. They think that since everyone is a colleague, if things get out of hand, it will be difficult to get along in the future, and they might even lose their jobs. So they endure it again and again.
Little did she know that by enduring this, those tasteless and lewd men would become even more brazen, saying increasingly offensive things and taking increasingly excessive actions.
Until the very end, he even dared to use force against you.
Afterwards, they'd look down on you and say, "You seduced him."
Otherwise, why didn't you resist when he tested you time and time again?
In her past life, when Fang Yan first met this kind of man, even though he wasn't bullying her, she was still so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to go up and beat him up!
"Shameless" doesn't even begin to describe this kind of tasteless man!
So, from that time on, she thought that if she had a daughter in the future, she would definitely tell her that if she encountered such a situation, she must stop it immediately!
"Huh? Do...do it like that?" Chu Chun stared wide-eyed in surprise.
People with low self-esteem are often somewhat weak; they don't even dare to argue with others, let alone fight.
Fang Yan gave her no way out, saying, "We have to be this tough, or you'll suffer a great loss."
Some losses are losses you can never afford to suffer in your entire life.
Therefore, she had to force Chu Chun to be tough.
A girl who is alone in a foreign land is better off standing up for herself than anything else.
"I...I'll give it a try..." Chu Chun felt that she probably couldn't do this.
Fang Yan was as serious as a stern teacher, “It’s not a trial, it’s a must. When you’re out there alone and encounter any problems, no one can help you except yourself. So you have to be tough and strong.”
Chu Chun nodded as if she understood, "Third Aunt, I understand. I will try my best to become strong and powerful."
Although she was still a little scared, feeling that such a life was terrifying and that it was a huge challenge for her.
But she believed Fang Yan, and believed that what she said must be for her own good.
Since it's for her own good, she'll complete it no matter how big the challenge.
"Sister, I think Auntie is right. We're out here, and nobody can help us. We have to become strong and resilient on our own..."
When they returned, Fang Yan heard Chu Xia whispering to Chu Chun.
Hearing that life outside was so "terrifying," Chu Xia was originally strongly against Chu Chun going to Shangshi to mend clothes.
But Chu Chun had already made up his mind. In addition, there were household expenses and the siblings needed money to survive. Chu Chun refused to agree and continued to drop out of school to earn money.
In early summer, I finally had to accept the fact that I would be preparing to enter the factory in early spring of next year.
When Fang Yan was telling Chu Chun about these survival and coexistence tips, Chu Xia listened intently, her ears perked up.
Since he couldn't persuade Chuchun anyway, on the way home, he repeatedly emphasized what Fang Yan had said to Chuchun, trying to make her take it seriously.
With early summer present, it's difficult for early spring to back down, even if it wanted to.
With such a strong and optimistic brother and sister, how could Fang Yan not be willing to help them as much as possible?
However, her help was limited; they would have to rely on themselves for their future.
After the two of them walked away, Fang Yan was about to close the door when she saw the door of the house next door open, and Aunt De walked out angrily.
Fang Yan stopped closing the door and looked at her. "Aunt De, what's wrong?"
Even the best-relationshiped parents and children can still have disagreements and conflicts, let alone mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law.
Fang Yan thought that Aunt De had a conflict with her two daughters-in-law.
Unexpectedly, Aunt De spat and started yelling, "That damned Zhang Laowu! Why doesn't he get killed!"
Um?
Fang Yan was taken aback. "What did he do now?"
"You still don't know?"
Aunt De looked at her with a "how can you be so careless?" expression and asked, "Have you forgotten what happened last night?"
Oh, that's what happened.
I haven't forgotten.
She asked the police officer about it when she went to the police station this morning.
However, at that time, they still hadn't gotten a clear answer from Zhang Laowu.
Fang Yan was in a hurry to attend to other matters, so she left first.
"We got the answer. So, what was their purpose in pulling that stunt last night?"
Zhang Zongde and the village chief had just brought back some "freshly baked" news from the county town. "What else could it be for but to covet your money?"
“He originally hoped that Fang Yaojin’s plan would work out. Once you were sold out, he would come to pick up Xiaoyuzai and take all the money you had earned.”
"Now that Fang Yaojin is in jail, the money that was supposed to go into his pocket has just vanished. He feels resentful and thinks that your business has been doing well recently and you must have made a lot of money. He believes that the money should be his."
"So he fed Zhou Dashu's child something to make him dizzy, and then had Li Ermei distract you and Qibei so he could take advantage of the chaos to steal your money."
Fang Yan: ...
To say that Zhang Laowu is stupid is an understatement; he's not actually stupid.
After all, even if she wasn't home during the day, there was almost always someone at Aunt De's house during the day. If Zhang Laowu dared to break in and spy, he would definitely be discovered.
So he came up with the idea of stealing in the middle of the night when everyone was half asleep and their minds were not clear, so that no one would notice him.
This idea is indeed quite practical.
But if you say he's not stupid, isn't he taking things too for granted?
Or did he think the whole village was stupid, that they would all be so asleep that their brains would be damaged, allowing him to do whatever he wanted?
However, to be honest, they are truly ruthless.
Zhang Congming was only six years old and had been malnourished, so he looked like a three or four-year-old child.
He could actually do that to such a young child.
"Did he also promise Zhou Dashu and Li Ermei that he would give them some money after he got it?" Fang Yan asked pointedly.
Otherwise, would they agree to use their own son as bait?
Although Zhang Congming also calls Zhang Laowu "Grandpa", they are not related by blood.
However, Zhou Dashu and Li Ermei were different. Zhang Congming was their own son. Without the lure of great benefits, how could they agree to joke about their son's life?
So all of Li Ermei's anxiety and worry last night, and how badly she cried, were genuine, because she was also worried that something had happened to her son.
However, it's also true that she wanted to harm herself.
Fang Yan felt absolutely no sympathy for such a woman, and was speechless, feeling sorry for Zhang Congming.
I don't know what the child owed them in their past life to be so unlucky in this life, to have such stupid and weak parents like Zhou Dashu and Li Ermei.
