"I don't think Brother Fang is the type to run a restaurant. Do you think he might have been in the same business as us before?" a bald man asked in a low voice.
Another bald man glared at him: "Don't ask too many questions. That's why I'm telling you, don't cause trouble outside. You never know when you might offend the King of Hell!"
Seeing Sun Lei looking like a dead dog, the two warned him again before leaving.
These two were regular customers at Fang Zhiyi's shop. Sometimes they would pay a little extra, but the original owner never minded. In fact, after they were released from prison, Fang Zhiyi saw that they were short of money and specially waived their meal fees a few times. The two brothers remembered this favor, but the original owner never asked them to pay it back. Why would an honest and upright businessman like him need to get involved with the underworld?
But Fang Zhiyi didn't have so many concerns.
Although he can handle some things on his own, having two more people to support him makes a difference.
"Dad..." Fang Yuran was taken directly back to the shop by Fang Zhiyi. She felt uneasy. Yesterday, Fang Zhiyi's eyes were full of disgust and rejection when he looked at her. Why was he like this again today...?
"It really wasn't me yesterday, it was my sister who didn't hold it properly..."
Fang Zhiyi raised her hand to signal her to stop: "Some things don't need explaining, because it's meaningless."
Fang Yuran lowered her head.
Fang Zhiyi just stared at her, and when she saw Fang Yuran's left ear, her heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly reached out and touched Fang Yuran's left ear. Fang Yuran subconsciously closed her eyes and gritted her teeth but did not dodge.
Fang Zhiyi suddenly felt a surge of anger. He gently touched Fang Yuran's ear: "Who's the one who often pulls your ears?"
Fang Yuran suddenly opened her eyes and shook her head frantically: "No, no."
"If I'm not mistaken, it's not just about pulling ears, is it?" Fang Zhiyi's first question was about to be answered: why would a girl who was so loved by her father be so taciturn? She was given the best resources, but in the story, Fang Yuran always wore the same few outfits?
Fang Yuran tried to explain herself in a flustered manner, but Fang Zhiyi just watched her performance quietly. Finally, Fang Yuran burst into tears.
Through her narration, Fang Zhiyi learned things that the original owner of the body did not know.
The original owner did love this daughter very much, but because he was busy, he often didn't see her. He thought that being good to his daughter meant enrolling her in tutoring classes, giving her money to buy snacks, giving her pocket money, and so on.
However, the original owner never expected that her husband would steal her away, and the target of that stealing was none other than her own daughter.
Fang Yuran grew up amidst Zhang Enyu's curses and disdain, all behind Fang Zhiyi's back. As the youngest child, she had to do all the housework. Even though there was a floor scrubber, Zhang Enyu wouldn't let her use it, instead making her kneel on the floor and wipe the floor with a rag. She threatened Fang Yuran that if she told her father, she would lose her parents and the family, and she would become a homeless person, sold by human traffickers, and so on.
Terrified, Fang Yuran could only learn to keep quiet. Whether Zhang Enyu pinched her, pulled her ears, or hit her with a bamboo stick, she silently endured it all. Zhang Enyu's behavior was seen by her three sons, who didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Some of the more mischievous ones would even deliberately bully her. However, Fang Yuran had already developed the habit of keeping her grievances to herself. As she grew up, she also earned the labels of "aloof" and "not liking to talk".
Fang Zhiyi thought that the money her daughter spent had actually gone to Zhang Enyu's cosmetics, Fang Yunyao's new game console, Fang Yunhui's books, and Fang Yunyi's new shoes.
Even Fang Yuran didn't know that her father had given her pocket money.
