In any case, he couldn't allow himself to get caught up in scheming against his dying younger brother.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Zhu Xiuhua, who had been hiding behind Fang Jie and Fang Yan, trembling with fear, suddenly rushed towards Uncle Fang like a madwoman, yelling, "You heartless bastards, you depraved people, you deserve to be struck by lightning! How could you scheme against my son and me like this? My son! You've ruined his legs, ahhhhh!! I'm going to fight you to the death!"
Upon learning the truth, Zhu Xiuhua was truly on the verge of madness.
She can disregard the hardships she has endured over the years.
However, she couldn't accept that a scheme had caused her two children so much suffering.
Before her daughter got married, she also suffered from hunger and cold. Despite her small stature, she had to take on all the housework and go up the mountain to rake leaves and collect firewood.
She carried those loads of firewood down from the mountain, half dragging and half carrying them.
As for Fang Jie, he's so thin he's almost unrecognizable.
Zhu Xiuhua's hatred was beyond words; she only wanted to drag Uncle Fang and Old Mrs. Fang down with her.
Perhaps it was because Fang Yan had given him two glasses of spring water in the kitchen, and those small cakes had also played a role.
Zhu Xiuhua, who looked like she could collapse at any moment, suddenly unleashed astonishing strength, leaving Uncle Fang, who hadn't even had a chance to react, completely defenseless.
After she vented for a while, before Uncle Fang could react, Fang Yan quickly pulled Zhu Xiuhua over, "Mom, calm down, it's all in the past. Once we divide the family property, we can live a good life from now on."
No matter how powerful Zhu Xiuhua's explosive force is, Uncle Fang is a man after all. If he reacts in time, Zhu Xiuhua will definitely suffer.
Fang Jie, a grown man, was so angry that his eyes turned red. He clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged. It seemed that he also wanted to go up and give Uncle Fang a good beating.
He got a beating, and then he was released.
But Fang Jie is not like Zhu Xiuhua, who uses fancy moves and punches. No matter how hard he fights, he can't kill anyone.
If Fang Jie, who is 23 years old, were to get angry, he could very well kill someone.
At this point, Fang Yan naturally didn't want any more complications. She asked Uncle Wang to keep an eye on her mother, then quickly went over and pulled Fang Jie aside, saying, "Brother, calm down. There's nothing wrong now. It's more important for us to live our own lives well than to separate."
"he!"
Fang Jie was so angry he could hardly speak, "My mother and I have been like this for so many years..."
All the hardship they've endured over the years was actually their scheme.
Fang Yan thought to herself, "You and Zhu Xiuhua have certainly been schemed against all these years."
But at its root, shouldn't the biggest problem lie with yourselves?
If Zhu Xiuhua hadn't been so superstitious and cowardly, if Fang Jie hadn't been so blindly obedient to Zhu Xiuhua, if they had dared to resist, would they have been tormented for so many years?
After Fang Yan transmigrated, she did try to persuade them to separate their family as soon as possible.
Fang Jie always dismissed the topic by assuming his mother wouldn't agree.
What could she do?
We can't exactly hold a knife to their throats and force them to split up, can we?
Fang Jie wasn't the brightest, but he wasn't stupid either. He quickly understood why Fang Yan was stopping him. If he accidentally hurt Uncle Fang, they would still have to support him in his old age, which would be even worse.
He finally loosened his fist slowly, gritting his teeth angrily, "Yes! Separate the family!"
As he spoke, he turned and walked up to Uncle Wang. “Uncle, please be our witness today. We are going to divide the family property.”
"I disagree!"
Although Grandma Fang was completely bewildered by Fang Yan, she was quite clear-headed when the topic came up and immediately objected.
Uncle Fang and his wife also objected, saying, "We disagree too."
Fang Yan ignored them and walked up to the three elders. "Uncles, you have all seen how my mother and brother have been abused by them over the past ten years. I don't need to say more."
In the past, my mother was always afraid that if she insisted on separating the family property, the vow she made before my father died would be bad for me.
Now that the truth is out, it's impossible for us to live under the same roof with them anymore.
"We have to be able to, even if we can't. Wuji and Baishuang are both like that now. Fang Jie has to take care of us in our old age."
As expected of the old lady Fang, who has been used to being the "Grand Empress Dowager" for so many years, she still dares to make such a righteous demand even at this time.
That makes sense, though. Right now, in the entire Fang family, who else can she rely on besides Fang Jie?
“You…” Fang Jie’s eyes were bloodshot as he tried to refuse, but Zhu Xiuhua suddenly threw her head back and burst into laughter, “Hahaha…”
Fang Yan: ...
The game is over!
Could it be that today's events were too much of a blow, and that the stepmother couldn't handle the shock and went crazy?
Just as she was hesitating whether to go up and persuade Zhu Xiuhua, she saw Zhu Xiuhua suddenly stop laughing, her eyes red, and look at Old Mrs. Fang, "You want my son to take care of you in your old age, is that it?"
Don't even think about it!
I'll chop all three of you down with one stroke, I'll give you my worthless life, and I'll never let you harm my son again!
Despite her cowardice, Zhu Xiuhua knew that if she hadn't been so foolish as to cling to that vow, Fang Jie wouldn't have had to suffer with her for so many years.
She remembered Fang Yan telling her that when she was mistreated in the Zhang family, Fang Yan thought that even for the sake of her son, she had to find a way out.
Zhu Xiuhua had never been so brave as she was at this moment.
She decided that if Grandma Fang and the others insisted on clinging to Fang Jie, she would risk her life to fight for a way out for her son.
Grandma Fang and Uncle Fang had never seen Zhu Xiuhua so ruthless before, and they were all stunned.
While still in a daze, Zhu Xiuhua knelt down in front of the three elders and said, "Uncle, I'm stupid and clumsy. I don't know how to talk about what has happened over the years."
Anyway, how the Fang family treated me and my children is what they are doing, and God is watching, and you must have seen it all too.
"Having been married into the Fang family for over twenty years, I have never wronged them in the slightest. For the past ten years or so, I have essentially taken care of my mother-in-law on behalf of the second son. From now on, our second branch of the family will no longer be responsible for her care."
Zhu Xiuhua spoke haltingly, “If you insist that my son and I take care of them in their old age, I will find an opportunity to kill all three of them with a knife, and then commit suicide to pay for my life.”
Her tone wasn't harsh, but her eyes were incredibly firm.
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Fang Yan would have applauded and cheered for her stepmother.
That was a brilliant victory!
I never would have guessed! This cheap mom is a real surprise – she's been keeping quiet all along, but now she's really something!
