The look in Song Yi's eyes when he looked at his son was as deep as the sea.
Fang Jizong was also talking at this point, and he replied stubbornly: "In this family, the father's words count."
This statement was almost a challenge to Fang Zongtang's authority in this family.
Just as Song Yi was about to speak, Fang Zongtang raised his hand to stop him.
"Don't tell me, I'll tell you."
Fang Jizong stiffened his neck, looked sideways with a stiff face.
Fang Zongtang smiled coldly, turned around and asked Song Yi: "Have you ever re-applied for your household registration certificate?"
Song Yi: “No.”
She laughed and turned to face the provocateur.
"It's not your fault that you're being stubborn. I have the household registration certificate. I am the head of the household, and your father is an adopted son according to the certificate. You have a separate household registration, so legally, you have nothing to do with me and your father."
Fang Jizong didn't believe it and felt uneasy. He turned his head and looked at his father, hoping that his father would say something. Unfortunately, his father didn't even look at him.
Fang Zongtang continued, "I don't know if the law from ten years ago has changed. According to the law from ten years ago, if your father died, I would be the sole beneficiary of all his property. It has nothing to do with you."
Song Yi added: "This law has not changed."
After hearing this, she smiled with satisfaction and then asked back, "I have the right to own half of all your property now. Has this rule been changed?"
Song Yi remained calm: "No. You are the head of the household, you have the final say."
After hearing this, she smiled even more satisfied.
"Do you understand? Who has the final say in this family?"
Fang Jizong looked at his father in disbelief. He was so powerful, why did he make him sound like he had no status at all?
"Father, I don't believe it. She's talking nonsense."
Fang Zongtang looked over coldly and said, "I am the one who wants to fire her. If you can't stand it, just go with her. I want to have many sons like you. I don't need you!"
Fang Jizong was already feeling aggrieved, and when he heard her say that, he was even more furious, and he yelled at her, "Why should everyone listen to you after you've been away for ten years? You didn't care about anything for ten years, so don't care about anything after you come back."
Song Yi's entire body turned cold: "Fang Jizong, you are not allowed to be disrespectful to your mother."
When Hongli saw that the family was about to quarrel, she suddenly had an idea and hurried to persuade Fang Jizon.
"Ji Zong, your mother definitely didn't leave on purpose." After she said that, she turned to Fang Zongtang.
"Madam, the young master is still young and has a childish temper. Please don't chase me away yet. Can you wait until I calm him down before you leave? I raised the young master. He will definitely not be able to accept if I leave suddenly. Let me persuade him, please?" After saying that, she looked at Fang Zongtang with pleading eyes.
The latter sneered: "Didn't you say you have no relatives or friends? I'll give you one, and you've raised him since he was a child. He will definitely be no different from your own son."
Fang Zongtang turned to his son and said, "Aren't you close to her? She will be your mother from now on. Your surname will be Hong instead of Fang. Aren't you unhappy that I came back? Don't you feel sorry for her and don't want her to leave? Then go with her. This way, neither of you will be alone in the future."
Fang Jizong's mind went blank.
Hongli's face was full of shock. Why was it different from what she expected?
My husband only has one son now. Can he just abandon him if she says she doesn’t want him?
She has no say.
"Sir, the madam must be very angry to say that. Please try to persuade her." Why did Hongli ask someone else to plead for mercy?
