Wang Cuihua returned to Fang's house sweating profusely, and was hit in the face by the towel thrown by Fang's mother!
"You restless bitch, running out with a bulging belly so early in the morning!
Did you go see some wild man?! I’m telling you, if you dare to let Qiangzi down, I’ll skin you alive!
After scolding, Fang's mother lowered her gaze to Wang Cuihua's belly and frowned.
"Your belly..."
Wang Cuihua's heart skipped a beat and she covered her stomach with her hands.
"I'm just going out for a walk. You can think whatever you want. But, Mom, I advise you to keep your mouth clean and do some good deeds for yourself.
The old lady who spewed feces all the time had a miserable end in the end!"
Wang Cuihua said this with a cold face, then went back to the room and closed the door.
Fang's mother realized what Wang Cuihua meant, threw the broom in her hand to the ground, put her hands on her hips and started cursing again.
When the sun was about to set, Fang Zhiqiang, who always waited until dark to go home, actually came back.
But he also brought back two men with dark skin who looked like they did heavy work.
"Qiangzi, who are they?"
Fang's mother, who was in the yard, came over to ask when she saw what was happening.
Fang Zhiqiang did not answer, but took the two of them into the main room first.
Then, Fang's mother saw the two men moving out the wooden tables, cabinets and other items in the main room.
Fang's mother became even more anxious now and wanted to stop them, but was pulled away by Fang Zhiqiang.
"Qiangzi! What are you doing?! Who are they? Why did you ask them to move the tables and cabinets away?!"
Fang Zhiqiang still didn't answer. He waited until the two men had emptied the main room, leaving not even a chair, before he closed the door and came in to explain to Fang's mother.
"Mom, I'm short of money. All the furniture in our house was made of fine materials and cost a lot of money.
It is still in new condition and can be sold at a good price.
Mom, take a look at the furniture in your room and see if there is anything you don’t use very often. I will sell it all.”
Fang Zhiqiang's explanation seemed to explain something, but it didn't explain anything clearly.
"You're short of silver?! How much silver are you short of? Didn't you earn a lot of silver before? Where is that money?"
Fang's mother felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Mom, you don't need to know anything else. If you still have any money, give it to me. I need it right now."
Fang Zhiqiang felt that his mother must have hidden some silver, but he didn't know where or how much she had hidden.
"Where would I have the money? You stole all my money!"
Fang's mother was also angry and roared.
Fang Zhiqiang didn't show much emotion when he saw this. He just looked at his mother steadily and said, "Really? Then I can only sell the house. After all, the old house at home can still be lived in after some repairs."
Mother Fang's eyes widened in shock, "Qiangzi, are you threatening me?!"
"Mom, I'm not threatening you. I'm telling the truth. I need money. If selling the furniture isn't enough, I'm really going to sell this house.
It cost several hundred taels of silver to build this large brick and tile house, and it can be sold for at least half that price now."
Fang Zhiqiang spoke very seriously, but the look in his mother's eyes made him a little afraid to look her in the eye. He just made an evasive remark and went back to the house.
Wang Cuihua heard the conversation between mother and son clearly in the room.
She also knew why Fang Zhiqiang sold furniture.
When Fang Zhiqiang entered the room, he immediately looked at the furniture and the decorative vases in the room.
A hint of coldness flashed across Wang Cuihua's eyes. She walked up to Fang Zhiqiang with her pregnant belly bulging, looking sad and anxious.
"Fang Lang, please have someone take away all the furniture in this room, except the bed, and sell it. I know you owe money."
Wang Cuihua's last sentence startled Fang Zhiqiang. He suddenly raised his eyes and met her gaze. The shame and anger in her eyes scared Wang Cuihua.
"How do you know?"
Fang Zhiqiang's voice became a little hoarse.
Wang Cuihua lowered her head, "You talked in your sleep last night, saying that you owed money.
When I heard it, I didn't take it seriously. I thought you were just talking in your sleep and what you said might not be true.
But I remembered that you said two days ago that you lost your money, were short of money, and took your mother's pension money.
I think you might really owe money.
Fang Lang, don’t you consider me as your own family? That’s why you don’t want to tell me this kind of thing? "
Fang Zhiqiang's shame and anger faded a little because of Wang Cuihua's words.
He sighed deeply, "Cuihua, it is precisely because I treat you as a family member that I did not tell you about this.
I will find a way to raise money. Of course, if you still have some money, please give me some. If not, forget it.
Even if I have to beg for food, I will find a way to get this money together."
Wang Cuihua ignored Fang Zhiqiang's pity, "Fang Lang, if I still have money, I will definitely give it to you.
Unfortunately, I only have ten taels of silver. Don't worry, I will find a way!"
After Wang Cuihua expressed her "sincerity", she changed the subject.
"Fang Lang, have you asked Mother? She should still have some money saved, right?"
Fang Zhiqiang shook his head, "Mom said it's gone."
Wang Cuihua was stunned for a moment, bit her lower lip and said nothing more.
In the next few days, Fang Zhiqiang brought people to sell all the brand new furniture in the house that had not been used for only a few months.
But it was only sold for one hundred taels of silver.
Now the Fang family’s big blue brick and tile house is just a chicken coop covered with a flower quilt. It looks good on the outside but is empty on the inside.
There were only two beds, a dining table and three chairs left in the house.
The house is completely bare.
Even so, Fang Zhiqiang did not tell his mother that he owed 500 taels of silver.
Fang's mother also did not say that her son was so short of money, so she asked him to help borrow some money from other people.
That day, Fang's mother thought the shape of Wang Cuihua's belly was a little strange, although Wang Cuihua distracted her at the time.
But Fang's mother still felt uneasy about this matter and was always thinking about it.
After much thought, she decided to spend some money to find a barefoot doctor in the village to take Wang Cuihua's pulse and check the condition of the fetus for the sake of her future grandson.
When Fang's mother saw Wang Cuihua lying at home, she closed the door and left without telling her about this in advance.
Not long after Fang's mother left, Wang Cuihua also got up and planned to go out.
When Fang's mother was halfway there, she felt that she had no copper coins on her body, so she wanted to go back home to get them.
Otherwise, as soon as she leaves, that little bitch Wang Cuihua will steal her coins!
However, not long after Fang's mother returned, she saw Wang Cuihua hurriedly coming out of the house.
The dog looks sneaky, as if it's about to do something bad!
Fang's mother's eyelids kept twitching, and she followed quietly...
