Chapter 149 Encirclement
In the second-floor courtyard of the front yard.
The Fang family, father and son, are discussing how to deal with Fang Rou.
"Dad, the manager just told me that there is a tenant farmer on our farm who has a bad temper. I heard that he beat two wives to death before. Why don't we just marry Fang Rou to him and teach her a lesson?"
When the eldest brother Fang Changyi spoke, the corners of his mouth tilted up slightly, and his eyes revealed a sinister coldness.
He felt very happy when he thought of Fang Rou being beaten up.
"I think we should find a human trafficker to kidnap her and let her have a taste of what it's like to be kidnapped. It would be best if she were sold to a kiln and tortured every day. She dared to harm my sister, and I will make her die a miserable death!"
The two brothers are more ruthless than each other.
The Fang family protects their own shortcomings.
Fang, who was pampered and raised in the palm of her hand, is like their reverse scale.
"Wanru has returned safely after all, and she is your cousin, so there is no need to be too harsh. Your second uncle treats you well, so just give him some face. I have already sent someone to invite the whole family over..."
Fang Yanheng's words stunned the two brothers.
"Dad, what do you mean? Are you not going to help my sister get revenge? What did you say in the room just now? Are you going to let my sister suffer in vain? It's God's blessing that she can come back safely. It's a fact that Fang Rou harmed my sister! If we don't teach her a lesson this time, I'm afraid she will still want to harm my sister in the future, Dad, you!"
Fang Changyi put away the smile on his face.
His eyes were bloodshot, his gaze was extremely cold, and there was a hint of blame on his face.
He interrupted his father.
My breathing became heavier as I spoke.
"Hold on, I haven't finished yet."
Fang Yanheng did not blame his eldest son.
He rolled his eyes at Fang Changyi and continued speaking.
"After all, Fang Rou is a woman of our Fang family. If she is sold to a kiln by a human trafficker, it will insult the reputation of our Fang family. If this matter is known and leaked out, won't your sister's marriage be affected? Besides, Fang Rou is pretty. If she is lucky enough to be favored by a noble, what should we do if she harms our family in the future?
I dare not do such an uncertain thing, as it will bring endless troubles! Dad has already decided to capture Fang Rou, tie up her hair and send her to the farm to do farm work. A girl without hair will be exposed to the scorching sun every day, and even the best-looking girl will be worn out and become ugly. "
Fang Yanheng sneered.
Continue.
"Marrying a tenant farmer is not an insult to her, but to our Fang family. The tenant farmer rents our land, sleeps with our daughter, and beats her up every day. Do you think that makes you feel better? No, he is insulting our Fang family. Moreover, marrying her off will hurt other families. People like him should just rot in the fields.
Fang Rou is just resentful that Wanru was spoiled by our family, and your second aunt favored you two cousins. She wanted to live a good life without anyone to stop her, but she harmed my Fang Yanheng's daughter, and I will make her live in regret for the rest of her life!"
Fang Yanheng slammed the table.
A set of celadon tea set worth twenty taels was broken into pieces like this.
The high-quality tea in the cup reveals the Fang family's wealth.
The father and his two sons were waiting.
A hundred miles away, the entrance of Jiangjia Village was crowded with people.
Jiang Fubao and his family were surrounded by villagers as soon as they returned to the village.
Many things were put on the ox cart.
There were wild vegetables, cucumbers, eggplants, etc., as well as dried mushrooms and a few eggs.
A wilted vegetable was hanging on Jiang Fubao's hair, which he had just washed yesterday.
She sat on her mother's lap with a feeling of hopelessness.
The noise in my ears was extremely sharp.
"Ms. Zhang, I heard that your Eryong has introduced a job to Xiulian's eldest son, earning ten cents a day? Take this pot of wild vegetables home to eat. I just dug them up today. Don't be polite. I have something to ask of you..."
"Sister-in-law, please find a job for my son. Just let him work in your shop and pay him eight or ten cents a day."
"Hey, don't squeeze me, Fubao's grandmother, look, there are three eggs. I saved them for seven days. I couldn't bear to eat them, so I brought them to you specially. Please bring my eldest grandson to the town as well. We are all from the same village. Please help me..."
"Auntie, I'm Erping, do you remember me? You held me in your arms when I was little. I heard that your family opened a shop in the town, so my mother brought me back to her parents' home to see you. You can take these dried mushrooms back to eat. Is the shop busy on weekdays? Do you need help? How about I go and help..."
“........”
My goodness, there are hundreds of people blocking the entrance to the village.
You and I were talking at the same time.
It was very noisy.
Among the crowd, there were even married girls who came back with their sons to make connections.
The oxcart could not move.
Looking at this, if you don’t know, you would think that the Jiang family has made a fortune.
Zhang Jinlan felt a little regretful.
If I had known this, I wouldn’t have told anyone that I was opening a shop.
"Stop talking! Listen to me."
The weather is hot.
Being squeezed in by so many people, it's really suffocating.
Zhang Jinlan roared.
The crowd finally quieted down.
"My shop has just opened, so we really don't need any help. We haven't started making money yet, so how can we afford to hire you? Besides, the shop is very small, so there's no room for people. Even my eldest grandson hasn't gone to the shop in town to help out. As for Eryong helping Zi Chong find a job, I also know about it. It was because a familiar shopkeeper happened to be recruiting people.
Eryong got along well with Zichong, so he mentioned it casually. It was mainly because Zichong was hardworking and capable. This matter had nothing to do with my Eryong. He didn't have the face to influence the restaurant owner to recruit people. "
Zhang Jinlan gave an explanation first.
Then he used his ultimate weapon.
She continued speaking to the crowd.
"You came at the right time. I was worried about not being able to make enough money from the rent of my shop. The shop is so small that there is not enough space for customers to sit down. I can't make much money every day. I want to move to a bigger shop, but I'm short of money. How about each of you chip in some money and lend it to me? Then I will definitely get you to come to my shop to help me.
It's not much, just one or two taels per person, and if we can get a hundred or so, I'll open a big shop to sell cakes. I heard that it makes a lot of money. Who of you wants to borrow first? Huh? Hey, why did you take the eggs? Didn't you send them to my family? Put down the dried mushrooms, I was thinking of having mushroom scrambled eggs tonight..."
When it comes to money, these people are shocked as if they have seen a ghost.
They took back the things they had brought and ran away.
Zhang Jinlan couldn't stop shouting.
The crowd quickly dispersed.
The ox cart was finally able to move.
Back home, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Grandma, there's a piece of mud on your nose, haha."
Jiang Fubao looked up and found that everyone in the house was in a state of panic.
Uncle's hair was messed up, second uncle's sleeve had a hole torn in it, there were wild vegetables on dad's head, and grandma's nose had mud.
"Let's go get some water and take a bath. These people are just like flies, they come here just because of the smell."
