Fang Xin shook her head and resignedly helped Fang Huai up.
She can't enter the city now because she went to see Gong Yi last time and tried to seduce him, which angered him.
That's how they were thrown out of Xiangcheng, never to be allowed back in.
Of course, Fang Xin couldn't say that to outsiders; she was too ashamed to admit that she had been rebuffed by Gong Yi.
She simply said that she was implicated by Fang Huai.
Fang Huai was extremely weak.
As a gambler, he spent his days in dark, crowded, poorly ventilated environments filled with the smell of smoke.
And they often eat at irregular times.
His body had long been worn down.
After entering the disaster period, he experienced earthquakes, long treks, and so on. After arriving in Xiangcheng, he continued his previous dark and hopeless gambling days.
He would eat one meal a day but not the next, or even skip a meal altogether. It wasn't that he had no food; rather, he wanted to save it for gambling.
Fang Huai had long since become as thin as a bamboo pole.
Now, he was surrounded and beaten by Monkey King and his gang, which completely drained his last bit of energy.
Now he can't even walk a few steps, so Fang Xin can only help him to lie down in the tent.
But Fang Huai was still cursing under his breath.
"You're useless. I told you long ago, just cry and beg your sister. She's doing really well now, and she'll be living a good life from now on. Why would she let you suffer?"
Fang Xin felt extremely wronged and remained silent.
Finally, Fang Huai made the final decision.
"Fine, that's all you're good for. It's settled then. Go to Brother Fen's place, make sure you look presentable, and he'll pick you up tomorrow."
"Don't look gloomy on the way, lest the garrison notice you."
Although this is outside the city, and there are fewer garrisons outside the city than inside, the garrisons near Xiangcheng still follow the rules very well.
The issue of prostitution on the streets is not allowed to occur inside or outside Xiangcheng.
Brother Fen then settled all the women in a small, unfinished villa complex between Xiangcheng and City A.
He set up a red-light district there, which Gong Yi's garrison couldn't control for the time being.
In the unfinished villa complex, most of the women who came to do business were there voluntarily.
Because women who volunteer are tight-lipped and won't run away.
Unless there is a woman who is exceptionally beautiful and has a powerful background, it is not worth it for Brother Pink to use force.
The men who went to patronize the business mostly did so through word of mouth, and only went with money and supplies if they had relevant needs.
Although this is the way things are now, and human life is cheaper than grass, things are still alright for now, and I haven't heard of any horrific incidents happening here.
Therefore, the matter has not yet reached the garrison.
Fang Xin was somewhat unwilling and couldn't help but ask,
"Dad, do you think of me as so lowly? Can't I find someone better? Can't we wait a little longer?"
Fang Huai was completely exhausted. Gathering his strength, he slapped her across the face.
"Go ahead and find one. If you could find a man so I could gamble my money back, you wouldn't be stuck here."
"Damage your spirit," Fang Huai said, panting heavily, looking like he was on the verge of death.
Then he said to Fang Xin, who was covering her face and crying,
"This is your fate. If you're not happy about it, try to find your sister, who's now the commander's wife, to work with you. If you can really get her on your side, then you'll be truly successful."
Given Hua Mi's looks, Fang Huai had actually considered selling her into the red-light district a long time ago.
Yes, he had considered it before the world became like this.
Going to the red-light district would be great; Hua Mi would definitely become the top courtesan there.
In this way, the Fang family could make a living off flowers for decades.
But before Fang Huai's idea could take shape, Hua Mi relied on her own abilities to get into Xiangcheng from their small town.
He also attended university in Xiangcheng.
I've been studying there ever since, and apart from giving money, I haven't returned to the Fang family home.
Fang Huai didn't want to bring up this matter.
Now? Hua Mi has become the commander's wife, so it's even more impossible.
Fang Xin felt that her father was just good at talking but never thought of any solutions.
Just like before, Fang Huai wanted to introduce Hua Mi to work in the red-light district, but Fang Huai could only think about it and never had the ability to do anything about it.
Fang Xin harbored resentment in her heart, and stayed by Fang Huai's side, saying...
"She's doing so well now, how could she possibly go with me to Brother Fen's place to make a living? How could I possibly do that? Why don't you, Dad, find some gamblers and we can all discuss it?"
Before she could finish speaking, her father, who was only focused on making a comeback, suddenly fainted.
Judging from his appearance, he's probably not far from death.
So on what grounds?
In Fang Xin's upbringing, Hua Mi was raised by the Fang family, so she should serve them like a slave.
What Fang Xin endured, Hua Mi will inevitably have to endure even more of.
On the contrary, half of what Hua Mi got belonged to Fang Xin.
Therefore, Fang Xin's taking Qin Ziran seemed perfectly natural.
At this point, Fang Xin was about to reach a dead end, and her only option was to sell herself cheaply to Brother Fen.
On what grounds?
Fang Xin's eyes revealed a twisted hatred.
In this world, even the most innocent and virtuous woman can become poisonous.
She got up, not caring whether Fang Huai was barely clinging to life in the tent.
She wandered around the cluster of tents outside the city.
Aimless, filled with resentment.
Suddenly, she stopped and stood still, and saw a familiar face.
Qin Xiaolan.
Qin Xiaolan is Qin Ziran's younger sister.
At this moment, Qin Xiaolan, with her hair in a ponytail and wearing a raincoat, was leading a clean-looking, refined man who appeared to come from a good family.
The two strolled around the stalls at the city gate, their expressions revealing their true nature.
The two of them are in love.
What a wonderful girl! Her brother is gone, yet she still has a beautiful and pure love.
The key point is that Fang Xin instinctively felt that this man was a high-quality man who was no less than Qin Ziran.
Fang Xin quickly walked over, smiled at Qin Xiaolan, and glanced at the man beside Qin Xiaolan with a hint of lust in her eyes.
Then he looked at Qin Xiaolan, the beautiful and youthful college student.
"Xiao Lan, what a coincidence! Has your brother come back?"
Qin Xiaolan was stunned for a moment before she recognized who was in front of her.
Instead of answering, she asked:
"Sister Fang Xin, do you have any news about my brother?"
It seems that Qin Ziran did not return to the Qin family.
Fang Xin shook her head.
"I don't know. I only know that your brother was desperately trying to win back my sister Hua Mi during that period."
"If you want to find your brother, why don't you ask my sister?"
Fang Xin then turned her gaze to the face of Qin Xiaolan's boyfriend and asked:
"Xiao Lan, when did you get a boyfriend? Why don't you introduce him to Fang Xin?"
If she can't find Qin Ziran and can't seduce Gong Yi, Fang Xin can immediately turn things around by finding another target.
My dark circles have gotten really bad lately; when I take off my glasses, I look like a panda.
