Chapter 151: The Father's Fault
"Bang! Stop talking to me. What did I tell you every day? Don't spoil your son. You spoil Changping and Changwu to the point of lawlessness. If you weren't partial to me, wouldn't my daughter be raised like this? I really regret marrying you. You don't learn the good things from you, but only learn the vulgar ways from your mother.
I asked you to learn to read from my sister-in-law and read more books, but you refused. You stayed at home all day playing. I provided you with good food and drink, but you couldn't even raise a child. What use was there for me to have you?"
I saw my brother’s face getting darker and darker.
Fang Yanhe slapped Lin hard.
What time is it now?
Adding fuel to the fire.
My daughter was said to have a breakdown.
If he continues to make trouble, not only will my daughter not be able to be sent to the temple, but she may even lose her life.
What if my elder brother hangs Rouer at home with a white silk scarf?
Fang Yanhe really regretted that he had tried to please Lin Shi.
He refused to listen to his elder brother and married a girl from a good family.
He insisted on marrying Lin from the village.
The poor mice in her mother's family didn't even bother with them.
I have five younger brothers who need help.
Over the years, my mother-in-law's family moved from a thatched house to a large tiled house with green bricks, and then moved to the town, all relying on him.
He could tolerate all this, after all, they were his daughter-in-law's family.
But he really couldn't stand Lin's temper, which was exactly the same as his mother-in-law.
Stupid and bad.
None of the three children were raised as well as the eldest brother.
His only daughter was like a rotten tree that had been exposed to the rain. She was rotten to the roots. Her life was over. He was angry and heartbroken.
"You hit me, you actually hit me? Fang Yanhe! I want to go back to my parents' home! I want to divorce you!"
Lin, who had lived a comfortable life for more than ten years, was stunned by this slap.
She covered her face.
He stared at Fang Yanhe with bloodshot eyes.
The latter ignored her.
Fang Yanhe thought for a few moments.
He walked up to his eldest brother and knelt down.
His knees slammed heavily on the bluestone bricks, making a "bang" sound.
Fang Rou shuddered with fear.
"Brother, it is the father's fault if the son is not well educated. I did not teach Rou'er well. For so many years, I was busy with the wine shop and left them to Lin's care. This was the worst decision I have ever made. Brother, I should have listened to you and married a girl of equal status. Lin is not fit for the position of mistress.
Half of the fault for Rou'er's becoming like this is Lin's fault, and the other half is my fault. You know Rou'er better than I do what she was like when she was little. She grew up under the care of my sister-in-law. She is not a bad child. The fault is mine. If I had taught her well, she would not have become what she is now."
The pain from his knee made Fang Yanhe frown.
But he said nothing.
Apologize to your brother.
The voice trembled twice.
He continued.
"Brother, this is all my fault. I know Rou'er got into trouble, but I watched her grow up. Both of them are my dearest children. But Rou'er is my daughter after all. Please spare her life."
Fang Yanhe shed tears in front of everyone.
He kowtowed again and again.
Blood immediately flowed from his forehead.
The tenth one.
Fang Yanheng helped him up.
"I won't take her life, but I won't let her go either. Fang Rou is my niece, but she is also my life! Others are trying to kill me, how can I be lenient? My parents died early, and we two brothers depended on each other and grew up like wild dogs. If I didn't care about you, how could I hand over such a big restaurant to you?
But look at your daughter, what she did! She almost killed my Wanru! How can you face your sister-in-law in the future? Our family can live a good life today, all thanks to your sister-in-law. I have no part in this matter. Lan'er, tell me, how are you going to deal with her? "
Fang Yanheng looked towards Yun Lan.
It seems that only Yunlan's words are needed.
Let him kill people.
"I."
Yun Lan had only uttered one word when she was interrupted by Fang Wanru who was eavesdropping at the door.
"Dad, Mom, please don't kill my cousin, okay? Just listen to my second uncle and send her to the temple."
Fang Wanru's face turned pale. Her house was not far from here. She had just had a nightmare and when she woke up she didn't see her parents. She felt very uneasy and came here to look for them.
Just happened to see this scene.
Although I know that it was my cousin who abducted me.
But after all, they grew up together, and her cousin used to be very nice to her.
Fang Wanru has always been kind.
She was afraid of her parents and actually forced her cousin to commit suicide.
"Ru'er, mother won't kill her, don't worry."
Yunlan stepped forward and helped her daughter sit on a chair.
Her pretty eyes and eyebrows slightly wrinkled as she spoke to Fang Yanhe.
"Send Fang Rou to the manor to do farm work and don't let her out. Lin, you are never allowed to set foot in the Fang Mansion. As for how loving you two are, it is none of my business. The two children, Changquan and Changwu, are not rotten yet. Send them to the mansion and don't let them see you for five years. If you can't teach the children well, then I will do it.
You are Yan Heng's biological brother, and I treat you as my own brother. If Yan Heng doesn't have you in his heart, I don't want to care about your children. You two brothers are one. For the future of the Fang family, you can only listen to me. You don't have to listen to me. Separate the family! Return everything your eldest brother has given you, and take your wife and children back to the village!"
Yunlan, who is always gentle.
The second time, he got angry in front of the whole family.
The last time was when my daughter went missing.
"I'm listening, sister-in-law. I'll listen to you. An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. I respect you and I'll listen to whatever you say. Lin Sanniang, get out of here now. From today on, as long as Rou'er stays at the farm, you are not allowed to go out.
From now on, your family members will never set foot in my house again. If I find out that you meet them in private, I will divorce you!"
Fang Yanhe didn't care that the blood on his forehead was sliding down his cheeks.
He shouted angrily at Lin.
"On what basis! I..."
Lin still wanted to argue.
But Fang Yanhe slapped him twice in a row.
She didn't dare to open her mouth again.
If she was divorced, she would never be able to enjoy such a good life again.
She is not stupid.
Lin covered her face, glared at Fang Yanhe, then turned and left.
When he left, he didn't even look at his daughter, and she didn't even turn her head back.
Fang Rou looked at her mother's back, tears streaming down her face.
"I was wrong, Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn't have hurt my sister. I was just too jealous of her. She had so many people who loved her. She had her aunt to teach her and her cousins to play with her. She had everything I wanted. Every time I came home, I saw my mother doting on my brother but ignoring me, and the jealousy in my heart grew even deeper.
It was me who bribed Chun'er and Xia'er, and it was me who bribed the stewards and servants, and I used the money that my uncle gave me secretly, a full two hundred taels. My uncle loves me, my aunt loves me, but I did this. I am not a human being. Uncle, aunt, Wanru, I was wrong, I was really wrong, Dad, please send me to the farm."
