Erbao had a surprised expression on his face.
"Yan'er, your adoptive father had something to do at home, so he went back first. Don't worry, I arranged a carriage for him. I definitely didn't treat your adoptive father unfairly. I gave him three thousand taels of silver, which is enough for him to buy a new house and shop. When he is done with his work, I will take you to see him, okay?" Fang Jie said softly.
Erbao tilted his little head back and stared at him straight. His eyes were clean and clear, but they seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Fang Jie really didn't like this look.
Not childish at all.
"Yan'er, your adoptive father definitely has no intention of exchanging you for three thousand taels of silver. This silver is a thank you from our Fang family. Don't think too much about it." Fang Jie said again.
His words seemed to be explaining for Wei Qing, but in fact he was telling the child that he had been exchanged for three thousand taels of silver, he had been abandoned, and he should stay in the Fang family obediently in the future.
"Oh." Erbao responded, lowered his head, and went out.
Fang Jie followed him and watched him go to Old Man Fang's yard, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Since he didn't make a fuss about looking for Wei Qing, it seemed that he believed it.
He is also doing this for the good of the child. The child doesn't understand how important a good family background is now, but he will understand it in the future.
Main courtyard.
Erbao lay in front of the bed, staring at the old man lying on the bed in a daze.
He believed in his father and mother, and they would never abandon him.
My mother said that I was her treasure, a priceless treasure.
Therefore, Daddy would never abandon him just for three thousand taels of silver.
It was these people who prevented him from seeing his father.
Erbao was very smart. He found out that they had arranged people to follow him, probably to prevent him from seeing his father.
Where is Daddy now?
What happened?
Suddenly, a hand touched his head.
Erbao raised his head and looked at the person who came, his little face tense.
"uncle."
He called them "Grandpa" and "Uncle", but he couldn't bring himself to call them "Dad" and "Mom".
In his heart, he only has one father and one mother.
"What is the little guy thinking about?" Fang Jun asked.
Erbao pursed his lips and said nothing.
Fang Jun didn't take it to heart.
This child has been back for so many days, and he has noticed his personality: he is quiet and rarely speaks.
He remembered that Yan'er had a very cheerful personality before he went missing, but now his personality has changed a lot.
"I heard from my eldest brother that you were adopted by a family in Yaoshui Town. Were they good to you?" Fang Jun asked.
"Okay, my father and mother love me very much." Erbao said.
"I heard your father came with you this time. It seems like that's really good."
"Yeah, my dad is the best dad."
The two started chatting.
Only then did Fang Jun realize how talkative his nephew was.
His little mouth was chattering non-stop.
It turned out that he was not a talkative person, but he just didn't want to talk to them.
When talking about his adoptive parents, as well as his brothers and sisters, he always has endless things to say.
"My eldest brother is very capable. My mother said that he will definitely become the top scorer in the imperial examination. My mother also said that with my eldest brother protecting us, I can do whatever I want." Erbao said, his little face no longer tense, but lively.
"Then Yan'er, what do you want to do?" Fang Jun asked.
"Uncle, can you please not call me by that name?" Erbao said.
He had always disliked this name, but he didn't object when those people called him that, because he felt they wouldn't care if he said it.
"Then what should uncle call you?"
"Erbao, that's what my parents call me."
"Okay, Erbao, what do you want to do?"
"I want to be a knight," Erbao said, "travel all over the world. But my mother said that to be a knight you have to go to school, otherwise you'll become an uneducated knight who will scream 'Ahhhh' when you see beautiful scenery."
Fang Jun was amused. This child's adoptive mother was quite interesting.
Seeing Erbao's excited expression when talking about his adoptive parents' home, Fang Jun knew that his original family was very happy and he liked it very much.
Because he rejects the Fang family, he is so quiet.
"My uncle also wanted to be a knight." Fang Jun said.
Erbao stared at Fang Jun with wide eyes, very surprised.
"It's true. I read some storybooks and the knights were all very cool and dashing, so I wanted to do the same."
"Then why not do it?" Erbao was curious.
"I told my dad, and then he beat me with a stick until my butt was bruised," said Fang Jun.
Erbao looked at him sympathetically.
"So, Erbao, you are very lucky." Fang Jun said.
Erbao nodded vigorously.
Yes, his mother won’t beat him, she will support him.
"Uncle, can you do me a favor?" Erbao asked with blinking eyes.
This cute baby blinks his eyes, making people completely irresistible.
"How can I help you?" Fang Jun asked.
"I want to see my father. Uncle, can you help me?" Erbao said pitifully.
Fang Jun was so attracted by his cuteness that he wanted to agree immediately.
But I still restrained myself.
Fang Jun knew something about what was happening in this mansion.
For example, Erbao’s adoptive father beat his eldest brother, so his eldest brother had him kicked out. Now a bunch of people are guarding the Fang Mansion and they are not allowed to let him in.
Erbao's adoptive father and his eldest brother have completely fallen out.
After all, this is his eldest brother's family affair, and he can't interfere.
"Erbao, uncle cannot agree to your request, but uncle will persuade big brother." Fang Jun said.
Erbao's head drooped, but he still said politely, "Thank you, uncle."
Fang Jun touched Erbao's head and returned to his yard.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard crying.
Cai was beating her daughter.
"I don't want you to be my mother anymore! All you do is beat me!"
"Okay, then let Tang be your mother! I'll send you there right now!"
Cai was about to walk out with her daughter when Fang Jun stopped her.
"Madam, what are you doing?" Fang Jun said, "The child is crying like this, stop it."
Cai stared at Fang Jun with wide eyes.
"I'm making a fuss? Fang Jun, do you know what's going on? Just say I'm making a fuss! I can't live like this anymore, I won't live like this anymore!" As he said that, he was about to walk out.
Fang Jun quickly hugged her: "That's not what I meant, Madam, daughter-in-law, calm down, calm down, okay?"
Fang Jun coaxed the person a lot before he finally calmed him down.
Cai felt extremely aggrieved and burst into tears on Fang Jun's shoulder. After she finished crying, she told him what had happened.
Cai had only one daughter, so naturally she didn't want her daughter to be separated from her, so she made a pair of shoes for her daughter with her own hands.
She happily put it on her daughter.
As a result, just now, she discovered that her daughter had changed her shoes and her pair was gone.
After asking, I found out that it was Tang who replaced the shoes. Tang felt sorry for her wearing worn-out shoes, so he bought her a new pair!
Cai's hands are clumsy, and the shoes he made are a bit ugly, but they are not shabby at all!
"My hands, look at my hands, they are full of needle holes." Cai cried.
It would have been fine if Tang had just called her a slut, but her daughter also despised her. She was almost going crazy!
Although Tang Shi always hurts her heart, her daughter's dislike hurts her more than Tang Shi!
