"Dad, did you and Mom have a fight?" Fang Ting hesitated for a long time before asking cautiously.
Fang Zhiyi didn't tell her to shut up as usual, but looked at her with a smile: "Ah, it's normal to argue. You argue with your classmates at school too, right?"
Fang Ting thought for a moment and nodded gently.
Fang Zhiyi noticed the doll she was clutching: "Come on, Daddy will take you to buy a new doll."
Fang Ting looked at Fang Zhiyi, then looked down at the broken rag doll, and hesitated: "Mom said we don't have money at home and don't allow us to buy things randomly."
Fang Zhiyi cursed the original owner in her heart, and Xiao Hei immediately understood, raising its tentacles and slapping the original owner's dark face twice.
"Then how about we buy two?" Fang Zhiyi said with a smile.
Fang Ting nodded somewhat uncertainly, and Fang Zhiyi patted her head.
As Fang Ning watched Fang Zhiyi talk to his sister, he felt that something about his father was different. However, he knew in his heart that his parents could not change, and perhaps it was just a whim today.
When I'm able, I must leave this family! And when I grow up, I will never become an adult like Fang Zhiyi!
"Hey, how do I get to the nearest hardware store?" a passerby suddenly asked.
Fang Zhiyi, holding his daughter and followed by his reluctant son, smiled as he looked at the people in front of him: "See that intersection up ahead?"
"I saw it, and then what?" the man asked, looking around.
"There are a lot of people there, go ask over there!"
Fang Ning almost tripped and fell. Wait a minute, Dad is always so kind-hearted, especially in front of strangers.
"Dad, why didn't you tell him?" Fang Ting still didn't quite understand.
"This kind of person can't even say 'please' before asking for directions," Fang Zhiyi laughed. "It's fine to be a good person, but respect is mutual, understand?"
Fang Ting nodded.
Fang Ning felt inexplicably pleased.
However, he still didn't trust his father. He knew Fang Zhiyi all too well what kind of person she was, and he wasn't as easily fooled as his sister.
Fang Zhiyi bought something for her daughter and asked him if he wanted anything. Fang Ning looked at the dazzling array of goods and finally shook his head. Now he's thinking of her? Too late.
Fang Zhiyi didn't continue to ask him. Instead, as she watched her daughter hugging her new doll and talking to herself, she suddenly asked, "Do you think I treat that Li Xiaojun better than you and your sister?" Fang Zhiyi brought up the topic directly.
Fang Ning looked at Fang Zhiyi with some surprise, but Fang Zhiyi was still staring at her daughter's back.
"So what should I do? Beat him up? It's not right for an adult to hit a child."
Fang Ning mustered her courage: "I'm a kid too, I can beat him up!"
“You can’t beat him up either. This is Li Xiaojun’s fault, but it’s a small matter. If you beat him up for something like this, I’ll be the one apologizing, won’t I?”
"But you..."
Fang Zhiyi interrupted him: "You're still too young, there are some things you don't understand."
Fang Ning's eyes dimmed again. Yes, she always said that he didn't understand. He was extravagant with outsiders while demanding that his own children be sensible and frugal from a young age.
“To get rid of someone, violence alone is not enough. If you hit him hard, he will only feel pain once. But if I give him money and encourage him when he makes a mistake, that’s different.”
Fang Ning: "???"
