Old Master Tian wondered to himself, could that child have had some incredible luck?
Then he saw his grandson looking indignant, covered in injuries, and cursing filthy things.
He frowned, coughed, and said, "Don't be ridiculous. That's your brother. How can you insult him like that?"
Tian Guoqing stared wide-eyed at his grandfather in disbelief.
Grandpa never cared how they bullied Fu Weidong at home before, but now he's criticizing him?
Old Master Tian considered himself a smart man; otherwise, if someone had offered Fu Weidong a job to support him, his family would have been so poor back then. But he made a snap decision and agreed. Later, with the grain and money coupons that those people quietly sent over, he managed to make the Tian family live a respectable life in the city.
He didn't want to be so heartless as to drive Fu Weidong away, but his family was really struggling and couldn't afford to raise the child anymore.
They have their reasons.
Old Master Tian was plotting how to squeeze another sum out of Fu Weidong...
Meanwhile, since Fan Xiaofan had set his sights on the Tian family, he naturally had to prepare a "grand gift" for them...
In addition to her current salary as a first-class technician at the textile factory, she also receives substantial rewards from the provincial capital for the research and development of these blueprints. Comrade Xiao Fan has now happily embarked on the road to escaping poverty and achieving prosperity.
Hmph, they eat her little dumpling, drink her little dumpling's drinks, and even bully her little dumpling. How can you tolerate that?
After hearing what Factory Director Fang said, Fang's mother went to Fan Xiaofan the next day to inquire about the child.
"What? Those are the children from the family that used to raise Dongzi?"
Fang's mother raised her voice, her face showing even more anger. Everyone knew that Fu Weidong was not Fan Xiaofan's biological younger brother, and they also knew that the child had suffered a lot in the family that raised him. It was Fan Xiaofan who took the child in and brought him home. It was said that at that time, the child had no good parts.
What a cruel family! Even if the child isn't their own, they shouldn't torture him until he's covered in wounds and then abandon him. How old is this child?
No wonder that brat dared to be so brazen and touch Dongzi.
"No, we have to get justice. Dongzi is registered in your household now, he's your rightful younger brother. What right do they have to bully people like this..."
Fang's mother, who already had a bad temper, was on the verge of exploding.
Fan Xiaofan continued, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, Dongzi's parents left him some good things, hoping they would raise him well. Now they've swallowed those things and are treating Dongzi like this..."
Upon hearing this, Fang's mother became even more furious and immediately dragged Fan Xiaofan to settle the score.
Fan Xiaofan quickly grabbed her arm and whispered her plan. Upon hearing this, Fang's mother immediately agreed, saying, "I can help with this. My distant cousin works at the supply and marketing cooperative. The Tian family will need to use all their grain ration coupons and vouchers, and then..."
The Tian family discovered that they had recently been having bad luck, with limited supplies of grain and other food items. As a result, everyone knew they had to line up early, but when it was their turn, the radishes were either wilted and yellowed, or there was nothing left.
At first, they didn't notice anything wrong, but later they realized that the people behind them were able to buy good things, while they couldn't buy anything at all. Old Mrs. Tian shamelessly asked, "Girl, I see there are still some good radishes left, can we exchange them?"
The round-faced saleswoman looked up at her, her eyes unwavering, and said briskly, "That's all for now, next customer..."
