Zhang Laowu was clearly very unhappy. Zhang Jizhou hadn't listened to him. When he told him to come in, Zhang Laowu quickly came over, his old face gloomy.
Huang Hongmei rolled her eyes at Fang Yan and her son, clearly annoyed, and asked Zhang Jizhou, "Third brother, why did you bring them here?"
"Didn't you have something to say to me?" Zhang Jizhou said in a calm tone. "Whatever it is, let's say it face to face, so that no one will gossip about it later."
"Third brother, who are you calling gossipy?" Gao Meijiao said with dissatisfaction, but her tone was slightly coquettish. "Third brother, you've changed. You never used to talk to Mom and Dad like this."
Like sister-in-law, like sister-in-law.
This method of using eye drops is truly a direct inheritance from Li Ermei.
Fang Yan held the little fish, secretly on guard, in case someone suddenly attacked her and the child.
On the surface, however, he acted as if it were none of his business, quietly watching Zhang Jizhou and the Zhang family.
“Things have changed,” Zhang Jizhou said in a calm tone. His sharp, dark eyes, like those of a hawk, swept across Zhang Laowu’s face as if casually, and he said with a double meaning, “I just recovered from my eye disease and have been able to see many things clearly.”
Sometimes it's like that; when you're completely trusting your family, your eyes are like they're covered in sleep, and you can't see anything clearly.
When you start to have doubts, the "eye boogers" on your eyes will automatically disappear, and you'll be able to spot problems in everything you look at.
For example, Zhang Jizhou knew in the past that Zhang Laowu's eyes had a somewhat sinister look.
He thought that he was born this way.
Only now did he realize that when Zhang Laowu looked at Zhang Baocai, his eyes were not sinister at all; they were even the kind gaze of a normal old man looking at a younger generation.
Zhang Jizhou's words startled Zhang Laowu. He stared intently at Zhang Jizhou's face, as if trying to see the true meaning behind his words.
Zhang Jizhou knew he was being watched, and stared back at him coldly.
Old Zhang could only feign ignorance, "When did you ever have an eye disease?"
“Many years.” Although Zhang Jizhou’s answer was ambiguous, it was clearly pointed.
Zhang Laowu's gaze deepened, but he spoke again.
Zhang Baochai, unable to contain himself any longer, asked loudly, "Third Brother, why didn't you bring me meat and noodles?"
This time, he was asking Zhang Jizhou for something, and the chubby boy rarely called him "Third Brother".
The little fish, who was perched on Fang Yan's shoulder, suddenly sat up and looked at Zhang Baocai. "We've finished all the meat and noodles. Mom and I ate so much, that's all!"
It means the meat and noodles are already in our bellies, you can't get any.
This little guy has quite a temper.
Before, the big fat boy always took my things, but now I don't have to worry about him taking my things anymore. The little guy quickly seized the opportunity to show off in front of the big fat boy.
The chubby boy was indeed unhappy. He kicked his legs and slammed his fist on the table, yelling, "Spit it out! You and Mom are a short-lived slut and a bastard, what right do you have to eat my food?"
Fang Yan was quite satisfied with Da Pangdun's performance. She didn't even need to say anything to Zhang Jizhou. After Da Pangdun threw a tantrum, how could Zhang Jizhou possibly understand?
In the past, when the original owner first married into the family, she was bullied but dared not speak up.
Later, when she fell ill, she didn't want to talk about it.
Influenced by her, Little Fish didn't dare to say anything either.
Because the mother and son were submissive and did everything according to the wishes of the chubby boy, he could naturally accompany the Zhang family and put on a good show in front of Zhang Jizhou.
Now that Fang Yan no longer goes along with his wishes, Xiao Yuzai seizes the opportunity to show off in front of him.
This infuriated the chubby boy.
In his anger, he completely forgot that just moments before, Zhang Laowu and Huang Hongmei had repeatedly told him that in front of Zhang Jizhou, he must act as an obedient and well-behaved younger brother as before, and not speak recklessly or willfully.
Since Fang Yan separated from the family, Zhang Jizhou's allowances for the next three months had to go entirely to her, so Huang Hongmei became very frugal when it came to buying groceries.
We used to have meat at least once a day, but not anymore.
The chubby boy, who had been craving meat for days, was furious when he heard that Fang Yan and Xiao Yuzai, whom he never considered human, had eaten the meat and noodles.
Zhang Jizhou's face suddenly turned gloomy and terrifying. He stared at the chubby boy and slowly asked, "What did you call them just now?"
"You bastards and bastards!" The fat boy, relying on his parents' backing, thought that Zhang Jizhou would eventually have to submit to Zhang Laowu's fatherly power and his mother's scolding. So he ignored Huang Hongmei's wink and said recklessly, "Dad said that everything in this house belongs to me. Even if you separate, your things will still belong to me. You are just dog slaves who make money for me!"
"Dog slave, huh? What? Is the Zhang family some kind of landowner?" Fang Yan said with a sneer.
In previous years, everyone saw the fate of those big landowners.
Although we're not as paranoid as we used to be, who knows if the wind will change direction again?
Therefore, upon hearing Fang Yan's words, Zhang Laowu immediately rebuked her in a deep voice, "Who gave you permission to speak, you woman? If you talk nonsense again, get out of here."
"Even if you invited me to this place, which is full of rotten people and devoid of humanity, I wouldn't come back," Fang Yan said leisurely. "But today, don't rush me. Once we've made things clear, I'll leave naturally."
“You’re just a lowly woman my parents made our third son marry into, to serve us. You have no right to speak, nor the right to eat those delicious foods. I order you to bring all that meat to me!”
The chubby boy looked just like a bandit, issuing orders with a domineering yet skillful manner.
Fang Yan glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, "You're really shameless. What if I obeyed your orders?"
"Then I'll kill you! The fact that you didn't die on Lion's Roar Ridge today is all because that Fang Baishuang is too useless!" The fat guy spoke without restraint, saying whatever came to mind.
"Zhang Baocai!"
"Treasure!"
Zhang Laowu and Huang Hongmei tried to stop him, but they were too late and couldn't cover the big fat boy's mouth.
Their collaboration with Fang Baishuang, using Xiaoyuzai to lure Fang Yan to Lion's Roar Ridge, was all done without Da Pangdun's knowledge.
He naturally knew the whole process.
Zhang Jizhou's face was so dark that it was hard to look him in the eye. He took three big strides forward, heading straight for the big fat guy, his voice so cold it was almost icy, "Was what happened to Fang Yan and Xiaoyuzai today your idea?"
The chubby boy was spoiled and arrogant, thinking that everyone in the Zhang family was really like what Zhang Laowu and Huang Hongmei said—a slave to make money for him and who had to listen to him.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a terrifying side of Zhang Jizhou, and he was completely terrified.
