Fang Zhiyi yelled, "Then I went to save him, but who knew the donkey cart would disappear? Judge for yourself, someone fell into the water, so shouldn't I go down to save them? Is the donkey cart more important than a person's life?"
"That seems to be the case," said a neighbor.
"Old Fang, stop hitting the kid. He did something good after all. Let's hurry up and find the donkey cart."
Fang's father pointed at Fang Zhiyi angrily and said, "This little bastard said he can't remember where he lost the donkey cart."
Fang Zhiyi said, "I, I'm just too cold. I want to change into dry clothes and eat something..." Everyone then noticed that he was still wearing wet clothes. Fang Zhiyi lifted up his shirt, revealing his lean body, which formed a sharp contrast with his two younger brothers not far away from him.
"Hiss, I never noticed that the boss of the Fang family is so thin?"
“Isn’t this considered abuse?”
"That's right, Fang Zhiyi is also suffering. His parents make him work under the scorching sun on hot days."
"Look at those two little ones. They're much cleaner and have some flesh on their faces."
"Old Fang, you are wrong. After all, this is your own son. How can the child bear it if he is not allowed to change his clothes or eat?" someone said.
Fang Li's face flushed red. She had never expected that her eldest son, who had always been obedient, would do such a thing.
Father Fang gasped, "What do you want to control? How can I teach my son to be my father?"
The neighbors began to grumble, but no one dared to say anything. After all, it was only natural for a father to beat his son.
"Wait!" At this moment, a loud voice sounded, and everyone looked up, only to see a neatly dressed middle-aged man standing behind, pushing a bicycle in his hand.
Everyone can see that this person is not ordinary. After all, in this day and age, not many people own a bicycle in such a small place.
The middle-aged man walked straight through the onlookers and into the yard. Fang's father was stunned. He looked at his son and then at the stranger. Before he could say anything, the middle-aged man looked around and locked his eyes on Fang Zhiyi, whose clothes were soaking wet.
"Are you Fang Zhiyi?"
Fang Zhiyi nodded: "Excuse me, who are you?"
The middle-aged man strode forward and reached out to shake Fang Zhiyi's hand: "Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, my daughter would be in danger!"
After a while, the middle-aged man claimed to be the director of the electromechanical factory, Lin Jianguo, and he came here specifically to thank him.
Fang Li's attitude changed instantly: "Oh, you're so polite. Saving people is something we should do."
Fang Zhiyi cast his gaze towards her: "Just now you said that it's none of your business if you don't know him. The donkey cart is more important."
"You!" Fang Li was choked. She didn't know why this child was so rebellious since childhood. She chose to turn around and close the door. There were neighbors watching outside.
Lin Jianguo frowned and looked at Fang Zhiyi: "What do you do now?"
Fang Zhiyi answered honestly, "I don't have a job. I just work in the fields and occasionally read some books like computers."
Lin Jianguo raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Have you read books about electronics?"
Fang Zhiyi was about to answer when Fang Li stepped forward again: "How could he understand books? He works all day long. Leader, please sit down." She winked at the second brother, who understood and quickly ran into the house to get a bench.
Lin Jianguo did not sit down. He had some opinions about this family since just now. In fact, he had arrived for a while and asked about the location of the Fang family at the village entrance. He just listened for a while when he saw a lot of people gathered around.
