Chapter 203 Wishful Thinking



Upon hearing Zhou Dashu shout again, Fang Yan and Aunt De immediately stopped in their tracks. They exchanged a glance, then turned around decisively and strode toward Zhou Dashu.

"What did you just say? Say it again!" Fang Yan put the little fish in her arms down, squatted down in front of Zhou Dashu, and said urgently.

“I knew it, you guys had already started to have doubts.”

Seeing Fang Yan obediently return, Zhou Dashu smiled smugly, "You all say I'm cowardly and timid, not a real man, but at least I know that my father really died of illness."

Unlike the third brother, who was said to be very capable in the army, isn't he?

So impressive, he didn't even know if his... mother had died of illness. What kind of impressiveness is that? Haha..."

Fang Yan: ...

A loser always likes to secretly belittle the person everyone praises in his heart, making them seem utterly worthless.

In this way, he can get great satisfaction.

Since arriving at the Zhang family, Zhou Dashu has become even more cowardly, incompetent, lazy, and foolish in comparison to Zhang Jizhou.

Everyone liked to compare him with Zhang Jizhou, and the more they compared, the more Zhou Dashu seemed worthless. Everyone shook their heads and sighed at Zhou Dashu.

This kind of life was driving Zhou Dashu to the brink of madness.

So, after accidentally learning that Xue Wanxue hadn't actually died of illness, Zhou Dashu secretly kept it to himself, thinking to himself, "If I tell Zhang Jizhou this news one day, will he be furious?"

He desperately wanted to know what Zhang Jizhou's expression would be when he heard him say those words.

However, under the pressure of Zhang Laowu, even if he had ten more lives, he wouldn't dare to speak up.

In addition, Zhang Jizhou was in the army most of the year and rarely went home to visit his family, so he couldn't find an opportunity to talk about it.

This time, he really wanted to say it.

Because the hatred of losing a child is irreconcilable.

An escapist mentality prevented Zhou Dashu from ever taking the blame for his son's death, the most direct and important cause.

He always believed that it was because Zhang Laowu repeatedly assured him that there was no problem with the herbal juice that he went to pick the herbs, grind them into juice, and give it to his son.

It was Zhang Laowu who lied to him!

Zhang Laowu is the real murderer who killed Zhang Congming!

Zhou Dashu wanted revenge. His son was gone. Why was Zhang Laowu, a villain who should have been sentenced to millions, still alive and well?

"Will you tell me or not?"

Fang Yan urged impatiently. If Zhou Dashu hadn't just shouted "Xue Wanxue's death" in a tone that said "I know the inside story," she wouldn't have bothered to come back and talk to such a cowardly and spineless man.

Every word you say to him is a waste of your time and a disrespect for your own life.

"I can tell you the secret behind Xue Wanxue's death, but you have to give me one..."

It was probably a spur-of-the-moment decision, right?

Zhou Dashu paused for a moment, clearly thinking about how much money he should extort from Fang Yan.

After thinking for about ten seconds, he gritted his teeth and said, trembling, "Give me a thousand yuan!"

Zhang Laowu said more than ten times that Laosan's family was doing well in the county town and must have made a lot of money.

Zhou Dashu rarely goes to the city, so he doesn't know how good the business is or how much money he can make in a day.

He didn't even know how much a lot of money was.

Anyway, he has never had a hundred yuan in his hands in all his life.

He had no idea how long it would take for the 1,000 yuan to arrive, or how much it could buy.

In his limited understanding, one thousand yuan was the "a lot of money" he could think of and dare to say.

"Oh……"

Fang Yan suddenly laughed in anger, "Then you can take your secret with you to the coffin."

Not to mention that in just a few months, she hasn't even earned a thousand yuan.

Oh, no, I did make a profit.

But she, her child, and Qibei also need to make a living these past few months.

In terms of living expenses, Fang Yan is not one to skimp on herself, so her expenses are quite high. She earns a lot but also spends a lot, so she hasn't saved more than a thousand yuan.

Let her use all her savings to buy one, without even knowing if it will be useful to her or how useful it will be.

Only someone with a screw loose would buy that.

"Aunt De, let's go back."

Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Yan spoke to Aunt De, reached out and took Xiao Yuzai's hand, then turned and left.

Nine hundred yuan!

Seeing Fang Yan leave so decisively, Zhou Dashu panicked and immediately descended.

Aunt De wanted to curse the shameless couple to death countless times, but Fang Yan stopped her each time, saying, "It's not worth getting angry over such mad dogs."

Anger will inevitably damage the liver.

If they are individuals, and there is value in persuading them, then risking liver damage to scold them awake is worthwhile.

Fang Yan didn't think Zhou Dashu and Li Ermei were worth risking liver damage to scold and wake them up.

Moreover, even the pain of losing a child couldn't bring them to their senses, so who has the ability to scold them awake?

"Eight hundred!"

Behind them came Zhou Dashu's shout of "price reduction!"

Fang Yan held Aunt De's arm in one hand and Xiao Yuzai's hand in the other, with Qi Bei following behind them. The group of people and the dog continued walking forward.

"Seven hundred!"

"five hundred!"

"two hundred!"

Seeing that Fang Yan wasn't slowing down at all and was about to walk away, Zhou Dashu jumped up and chased after her, shouting, "One hundred!"

"Is one hundred alright?"

One hundred is his bottom line.

Fearing that the hawk-like creature eyeing him might pounce and bite him, Zhou Dashu dared not get too close. He shouted at Fang Yan in a desperate and shameless manner, "You can't expect me to lose money, can you?"

"puff……"

Fang Yan stopped again, turned around, and looked at Zhou Dashu from a short distance away, "Losing money?"

"What did you lose money on?"

"It's...that..." Zhou Dashu stammered for a long time, unable to get a clear answer.

It's unclear when Li Ermei regained her senses from her mental instability.

She caught up from behind and stood with Zhou Dashu. While keeping an eye on Qibei, she said to Fang Yan, "How come we didn't lose money? If that old devil surnamed Zhang finds out that we told you this secret, who knows what kind of life we'll lead in the future?"

"If you want to know this secret, you have to pay. One hundred yuan is the minimum!" Li Ermei's mouth was much more talkative than Zhou Dashu's.

Fang Yan laughed, "Don't think that you're the only smart people in the world, and everyone else is a fool, okay?"

"Do you think I can't guess just because you don't tell me?"

You all secretly wish Zhang Laowu were dead, but you don't have the guts to go after him.

He secretly planned to use this secret to make money off me;

Let me deal with him again. That way, you'll not only make money, but you'll also avenge your son.

Heh! You guys have really got a clever plan.
