"My son is willing to marry you and give your unborn child a chance to live. You should be extremely grateful. As for anything else, you shouldn't ask for anything more."
That was the old lady's plan: to get the marriage done without spending a penny, then kill the bastard child, and finally torture the woman thoroughly before getting a divorce.
This was the old lady's idea, and she had already come up with all sorts of ways to make He Qing suffer.
"Aunt Wang, you're dreaming. That's impossible. I have a boyfriend, and we're getting married soon. Fang Yang, don't you think so?"
He Qing's gaze fell on Fang Yang in the crowd, her eyes filled with intense longing, as if she were looking at her lover.
Fang Yang was stunned. He hadn't expected He Qing to call him at this moment and say his name. What did she want to do? For a moment, he couldn't figure it out. He didn't understand what it meant or what she was trying to do.
He looked into He Qing's pleading eyes and saw the pain in her gaze. At that moment, he felt a pang of heartache. He didn't know what was wrong with him or what he was thinking. He only knew one thing: at that moment, he desperately wanted to help her.
"I……"
Upon seeing this, the others wondered if the man was Fang Yang.
"Fang Yang, what are you doing? You're not trying to take the blame, are you?"
Fang Yang's good friend Xiao Zhi was the first to step forward; she was also Fang Yang's childhood sweetheart.
She knew very well that Fang Yang and He Qing had no relationship whatsoever, and that it was just Fang Yang's unrequited love before.
"I..." Fang Yang hesitated. He looked back and saw his mother staring at him with a dark expression.
Although his mother didn't say anything, Fang Yang knew what she meant.
"Fang Yang, we are in love, will you marry me?"
He Qing looked at Fang Yang and spoke with deep emotion. She wasn't stupid; she knew that it was impossible to frame him now. The first attempt had failed, and the second one wouldn't work. She could only be vague and didn't say that Fang Yang was the child's father.
Fang Yang neither spoke nor nodded, and turned to leave.
When others saw this, they all thought Fang Yang was stupid. Why didn't he know how to refuse? Wasn't this tantamount to admitting it?
"Look at him, Fang Yang is completely unwilling. What else can you do besides marry my son? It's already a miracle that our family has accepted you."
Aunt Wang looked at He Qing with a cold face. Now they would see who would compromise first, and the one who compromised first would definitely be in trouble.
"Then you don't need to worry about it. Whether I find a partner or not is my business and has nothing to do with you. Two hundred yuan, or you can die if you don't give it to your son."
In the end, He Qing lowered her standards and settled the matter for two hundred yuan.
Actually, He Qing hadn't expected that her scheme would be discovered; everything had happened so suddenly. She had no choice but to take it one step at a time.
"Fine, then I'll sue you..."
He Qing wasn't afraid. "Go ahead," she said. "Things aren't like they used to be. What does free love have to do with you? Your son, who bullies people, is the one who should die."
Grandma Wang: "..."
The two argued for a long time without reaching a conclusion, so Old Lady Wang had no choice but to give her one hundred yuan. "Take it or leave it, but you have to give me a receipt."
He Qing could tell from looking at the old woman that she was no pushover, so she agreed. She also knew that the roads in the village would be difficult to travel in the future, but that didn't matter.
Mo Yan took her daughter up the mountain, followed by a distracted Fang Yang.
"Mom, what should we do about my brother now?"
Fang Xin was a little worried that her brother would end up being the one who got taken advantage of.
Xiao Zhi followed, calling out to Fang Yang from afar, "Fang Yang, you can't agree! This matter has nothing to do with you. If you agree, people will think you did it, and that won't do. The villagers will look down on you!"
Xiao Zhi was extremely anxious, fearing that Fang Yang might do something foolish.
Seeing that Fang Yang remained silent, Xiao Zhi became even more worried. Was this guy really planning to do something if he didn't say anything?
"Let me tell you, you can't do that! You'll drive me crazy because of me... I'll... I'll be furious with you."
Fang Yang finally looked at Xiao Zhi and said, "Xiao Zhi, thank you for your concern, but it's my own business, and I'll make my own decisions. You don't need to worry about me."
Fang Yang hasn't made a decision yet, and hasn't figured out what to do, but he definitely hopes He Qing is doing well.
He also knew what his decision meant.
"You..." Xiao Zhi understood the meaning behind Fang Yang's words. Did he mean he didn't want her to meddle in other people's business?
"You think I'm meddling? We've been good friends for years, how could you think I'm being mean?"
You know perfectly well that I…
"I don't know," Fang Yang interrupted Xiao Zhi. "I don't know, and I don't want to know. We're best friends, and I don't want anything to happen to our friendship. I hope you understand that."
Fang Yang knew Xiao Zhi's feelings, but he also knew that he didn't like Xiao Zhi, he really didn't like her. If he didn't like her, he shouldn't have given her hope. Giving her hope only to leave her with despair in the end was truly wrong.
"You..." Xiao Zhi turned and left, and Mo Yan asked Fang Xin to follow and persuade her.
After they left, Mo Yan finally looked at Fang Yang, that idiot. The moment she walked over, she raised her hand and slapped him across the face without any hesitation.
"Mom?" Fang Yang didn't understand why he had been beaten again.
"It's strange why I hit you. It's because you hesitated, because you were too cowardly."
Just now, you probably wanted to agree, but then you saw my stern face, so you hesitated and didn't dare to.
Fang Yang, Fang Yang, do you like He Qing that much? Knowing she has ulterior motives, you still wholeheartedly pursue her?
Fang Yang fell silent. He didn't know what was wrong with him, why he liked He Qing so much. "Mom, I don't know, I really don't know."
"Fang Yang, remember this: if you are with He Qing, I will disown you as my son, and I will kick you out of the house on the spot and sever all ties with you."
Mo Yan kept her word.
"Why?" Fang Yang didn't understand. Why did it have to be like this? "Mom, I don't understand. You raised us all by yourself, so you should know how hard it is to be a single mother. Why can you just watch He Qing become a single mother too?"
"Then you're wrong. I'm different from her. I married your father, and we have a marriage certificate. It's just that your father died later. But she's the kind of person who just looks for suckers everywhere."
And you are one of them.
Mo Yan hadn't expected He Qing to have two plans. Since they arrived here in such a hurry, Mo Yan naturally grabbed Fang Yang and left, not expecting that He Qing had two plans.
As for why he didn't take action later, to put it bluntly, if Wang Er didn't have that wicked intention and hadn't done anything disgusting, could he have been threatened?
