"No, brother, you said you would help me."
"Yes, but I regret it." Fang Zhiyi said with a grin.
Fang Zhiming on the other end was stunned for a long time: "Big brother, what do you mean?"
"I regret it! Don't you understand?"
Fang Zhiming stood there dumbfounded, listening to the busy tone on the phone. What did this mean? Had his older brother lied to him?
Undeterred, he dialed the number again.
"Hey." Fang Zhiyi's voice was lazy.
"Brother, stop messing around. You took my money."
"What money?" Fang Zhiyi asked, puzzled.
"It's the money you said you were going to give to your sister-in-law!" Fang Zhiming practically yelled into the phone.
"Oh, oh, yes, yes, I gave the money to your sister-in-law yesterday. Why?"
"What else? Fang Zhiyi, if you're not going to help me, give me my money back!"
There was a long silence on Fang Zhiyi's end before a voice suddenly came through: "Pay back the money? Do you have any proof? Did I ever borrow money from you? On the contrary, you borrowed 80,000 from me and haven't paid it back yet. Zhiming, how can you have the nerve to say such a thing?"
Fang Zhiming felt like he was about to vomit blood.
He stared at the disconnected phone, lost in thought for a long time.
Fang Zhiyi was basking in the sun when the phone rang again.
Fang Ning said, "Dad, you're so busy these days."
"Being busy is good, the God of Wealth is here!" Fang Zhiyi laughed, picking up the phone. "Old Zhou! Long time no see!"
"Boss Fang, the job's done. I've transferred your share to you. It's only 40,000 yuan. Don't think it's too little. Let's cooperate again next time." A man's voice came from the other end.
"Sure, sure, how much did you spend on this renovation?" Fang Zhiyi asked curiously.
"Oh dear, the quote is 88,000. Changing materials will raise it a bit, rework will raise it a bit, and the hammering and banging will raise it a bit more... It'll only be a little over 200,000. Hahaha, is that really your own sister?"
Fang Zhiyi smiled and said, "Of course, but Mr. Zhou has also heard that saying, right?"
"What?"
"Strangers earn half, relatives get the whole prize! Hahahaha."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Ning looked at Fang Zhiyi with a complicated expression in her eyes.
"Dad, you've been so good to them all these years, is this all for today?"
Fang Zhiyi looked into his eyes, and after a long while shook her head: "We've been good to them for so many years, and they're never satisfied. For a wolf that can't be fed, we should charge them some interest."
Fang Ning nodded.
The original owner was already going crazy. He struggled desperately, and Xiao Hei sighed as it looked at him: "You really are hopeless." It slapped him down, flattening him, and then Xiao Hei used its tentacles to wrap him up and stuff him into its mouth. "Completely incorrigible, a waste of time."
Liu Mei rented a house and was about to start her new life with great enthusiasm when her sister-in-law and brother showed up at her door.
“You…” Liu Mei looked at the gifts they were carrying.
"Hey, didn't you move out? Your brother and sister-in-law were worried you wouldn't be used to it, so they came to check on you," the older brother said.
The older sister-in-law chimed in, "Don't blame your sister-in-law. She was just saying that in jest, but I really want what's best for you! You're not angry with your sister-in-law, are you?"
Looking at her sister-in-law, Liu Mei felt a surge of warmth in her heart: "How could that be?"
"You know what, this house is nice, isn't it?" The older brother looked around. "It's quite a coincidence, your nephew is about to start high school, and he lives nearby. You'll have to help take care of him then."
Liu Mei patted her chest and said, "We're all family, what are you saying!" The moment she lowered her hand, she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had done something similar a long time ago, or seen someone else do it... uh...
Fang Zhiming was going crazy. His older brother had cheated him out of his money and wouldn't pay it back, and he couldn't find the person. After going around in circles, the only thing he found out was Liu Mei's address.
