Because the facts are clear: Fang Chengci first hit someone and tried to flee, and then Fang Jianshu took the initiative to injure the other person, who did not fight back at all, but only tried to stop him. Therefore, Fang Jianshu not only has to pay compensation, but also faces imprisonment.
Fang Chengci was released after spending the night at the police station and was told to go home and tell his mother to prepare the money.
When Fang's mother heard the news, she felt like the sky had fallen. She knew something was wrong when she came back yesterday. After inquiring, she learned that her husband and children had been taken to the police station. She wanted to go see them, but she was also afraid, so she waited until dawn.
"Pay up! Pay up! Where would we get so much money to pay in a day!" Fang's mother burst into tears. Watching Fang Chengci go straight to his room to sleep, she felt as if she had been hit on the head with a stick.
Fang Chengci had just fallen asleep when his mother, holding a rolling pin, smacked him in the face.
He was completely dumbfounded.
My parents have never hit me!
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! How dare you sleep in the dark? Huh? How dare you sleep in the dark!" Fang's mother was on the verge of a breakdown. She looked at Fang Chengci with nothing but resentment. "I'll beat you to death!"
Fang Chengci was so frightened that he hid everywhere. Looking at his mother, who was so different from usual, he was terrified.
The son needs to be beaten, the husband needs to be saved, and most importantly, compensation needs to be paid.
Having finally recovered a little, the Fang family chose to sell the house. Fang Jianshu had it all planned out: even if they lost money selling the house, they could still buy a smaller one to live in. After all, Fang Zhiyi had left home and didn't need a house this big anymore.
Neither he nor Fang's mother expected that Fang Chengci harbored resentment over his mother's previous beating. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he was determined to take revenge on his parents. So, not long after receiving the proceeds from the sale of the house, he secretly made several transactions.
Later, while Fang's mother was picking up Fang Jianshu, Fang Chengci gritted his teeth and ran off with all the money.
Fang Jianshu and his mother returned to their rented apartment, but did not see their beloved youngest son.
"Don't mention him. If it weren't for him, would our family be in such a miserable state?" Fang's mother was clearly still unhappy.
Fang Jianshu, however, came to a realization: "My son is still young, and it's his nature to be playful. It's understandable that he might not tell us if he gets into trouble!"
As Fang's mother packed her things, she said irritably, "Where's your eldest son?"
Fang Jianshu was taken aback, and after a long pause, he finally managed to say, "You unfilial son!"
Just then, Fang's mother discovered that the bank card was missing. She screamed in alarm, and Fang Jianshu also started searching. In the end, they had to face reality: their beloved youngest son had stolen the money and run away!
Fang's mother wanted to call the police, but Fang Jianshu stopped her.
"He's just having a moment of weakness. Just wait, his son will be back soon."
This wait lasted for more than half a year.
From initial hope and self-brainwashing to later numbness, Fang's parents gradually became taciturn. Because of his previous detention, Fang Jianshu lost his job, and now he and his mother are doing day jobs to make a living.
Fang Chengci returned, and he squandered all the money. The pampering and favoritism he received since childhood had left him with no sense of right and wrong. He made a few bad friends, and then spent money here and there. Soon after he ran out of money, they kicked him out.
Fang Jianshu was visibly excited at Fang Chengci's return, while his mother remained indifferent. She had finally seen through her son and her husband.
Sure enough, after Fang Chengci returned, he immediately went back to his old ways, either going out to play or lying at home. When he ran out of money, he would ask for it. Fang Jianshu wasn't well-off, and could only give him ten or twenty yuan each time. Fang Chengci would complain about the small amount of money while snatching it away, completely ignoring his father's gray hair.
In the afternoon, Fang Chengci rushed home in a flurry, almost breaking the door in the process.
"Dad, look! Look at this!" He held up his phone, and Fang Jianshu squinted as he looked at it, while his mother remained silent beside him.
