Chapter 44 Fang's Mother is Furious
Chapter 45 Fang's Mother is Furious
Old Mrs. Fang gave her eldest daughter-in-law a look, and Wang Huizheng immediately shouted, "Since your store has just opened, your mother sympathizes with you, so starting from this month, the monthly living allowance will be increased to 100 yuan!"
One hundred? That's a normal person's monthly salary!
Fang's mother swayed for a moment, holding onto the table and trying to stand steady. "Mom, my restaurant is just starting out, and we have borrowed a lot of money to buy a house. We have to pay them back every month. A hundred dollars, we really can't afford it..."
The eldest aunt sneered, "Chunxia, we have been sisters-in-law for many years, so we all know each other. Your restaurant has so many people buying things every day. Who would believe you if you said you had no money? You don't have to act pitiful here. Just tell us whether it's okay or not!"
Mother Fang felt a chill in her heart as she looked at her mother-in-law who was sitting there in a stern manner, and her sister-in-law who was standing with her hands on her hips and giving orders.
I worked hard from dawn to dusk, and finally the restaurant started to get a little bit of business, but these people couldn't sit still and wanted to share a piece of the pie. When I couldn't eat at home, why didn't they lend a hand to me? What kind of people are they?
They bought a house and renovated it, and then opened this small shop. In fact, they borrowed money. They didn't touch the money that Fang Qing got from saving people. It's not that they were reluctant to spend it, but they didn't want to rely too much on it. They still wanted to try to change their lives by their own strength. And the money was finally deposited in the bank, ready for Fang Qing to go to college in the future and pay for the children's tuition...
Thinking of this, Fang's mother took a deep breath, calmed down her heart, and looked at the two people opposite her quietly, "Mom, sister-in-law, the restaurant is just starting out, and we don't have any extra money. If you encounter any difficulties, my cash flow today can be used as an emergency measure, but if the living expenses increase to 100, I can't give it to you."
As soon as Fang's mother finished speaking, Old Lady Fang's face darkened immediately, "Humph! I knew it, you all only care about putting money in your own pockets and never care about my life or death!"
The eldest aunt also put her hands on her hips and started to curse, "Can't give? Your business is so prosperous, but you can't even give me a hundred dollars? Bah, you are kidding me!"
"Mom, sister-in-law, our business is good, but why don't you mention how much famine we have endured? I opened the restaurant to pay off my debts, and now that the debts have not been paid off, you want to increase the cost of living. Aren't you too bullying?"
When the aunt heard this, she immediately became angry. She jumped up and pointed at Fang's mother's nose and cursed her, saying that she was unfilial, only cared about making money for herself and didn't care about her elderly mother. Then she ran outside the store crying and making a fuss, attracting the neighbors to come and watch the fun.
After the aunt made such a fuss, many customers who wanted to come in to buy things were scared away. Even the merchants who had been jealous of the Fang family restaurant before joined in the fun, standing aside and gossiping.
Fang's mother had been exhausted these days, and with all the fuss and anxiety, she felt her heart beating like a drum, and her eyes rolled back and she fell down.
"Mom! Mom, what's wrong with you? Someone come quickly, someone fainted!"
Fang Qing held his pale mother and shouted outside the door, but no one came in to help. Even his grandmother and aunt were just watching the fun from the side. His aunt even said that his mother was pretending to faint to scare people. Fang Qing was so angry that he picked up the vinegar bottle on the table and threw it over!
The broken glass bottle exploded under their feet, scaring the aunt so much that she screamed. When she saw that it was Fang Qing who threw the bottle, her eyes widened and she was about to shout again, "How dare you throw a bottle at us? Is there any law?"
Fang Qing looked at her hatefully, his face as gloomy as the sky before a storm, which frightened Aunt Wang Huizheng so much that she swallowed the curse that was about to come out of her mouth.
"What's that look in your eyes, kid? Is that how your mom usually educates you? Your mom is just pretending, who is she trying to scare? What are you looking at? If you keep looking at me, I'll educate you on your mom's behalf!"
At this point Fang Qing was finally disappointed. No wonder these people sent him away immediately after his family got into trouble in his previous life. It turned out that they had really lost their conscience long ago!
"Aunt, are we really a family? You are my elders and I respect you, but what you did today really doesn't deserve my respect! If anything happens to my mother, remember this, none of us will be well!"
Hearing Fang Qing's threat, Old Lady Fang became furious and yelled at Fang Qing for being uneducated while leaning on her cane. The eldest aunt also rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to teach her a lesson, but Fang Qing's cold eyes made their backs go cold and they did not dare to step forward for a moment.
It happened that a customer who often came to buy food came in and saw Fang's mother lying on the ground unconscious. He immediately went out and called for help, and several people sent the mother to a nearby hospital.
Seeing his mother being carried away, Fang Qing hurriedly packed up the counter and closed the shop. Turning around, he found that his grandmother and aunt had slipped away at some point. He was filled with resentment and stomped his feet and ran to the hospital.
After rescue, Fang's mother was finally out of danger. Fang Qing lay in front of the hospital bed and looked at his mother with a sallow face. He felt guilty: How could he have forgotten about his mother's heart problem? He even let her run the restaurant by herself every day. He was so stupid.
Fang Ming, who received the news, also rushed over, followed by his uncle and brother-in-law. Seeing that his second sister-in-law was still unconscious, they asked her the reason. Fang Qing told them everything that happened.
My uncle-in-law has a straightforward temper. He looked puzzled after hearing this. "Girl, are you telling the truth? My eldest sister-in-law and mom, they...they said that about my second sister-in-law?"
The old uncle also looked skeptical, "Girl, I know you love your mother, but...but you can't say such things. Your aunt and your grandmother are your relatives after all. How could they do such a thing..."
Fang Qing's face darkened. "I didn't lie. What they said today will be even more vicious than what I just said! If I make up a word, I will die miserably!"
The old uncle quickly covered her mouth and said, "Pah, pah, pah, you little stinky girl, how can you make such a vow casually? It doesn't count."
Fang Ming, who was standing by the bed, stood up and said, "Uncle, uncle, maybe you don't think much of it, but as far as I can remember, grandma has never liked our family, and my aunt has always been fighting with my mom. Whenever there is something good in our family, she will find fault with it. So, I believe Qingqing is not lying."
The atmosphere in the ward was awkward for a moment. My uncle-in-law said he was going to ask about the hospitalization procedures and slipped away. My uncle was still a little unconvinced, "I'll go ask them!" He left in a hurry after saying that.
Fang Qing looked at his silent brother, walked over and leaned on his back, "Brother, they are too bullying."
Fang Ming said nothing, just held his mother's hand, his eyes red.
At night, Father Fang finally rushed back. As soon as he entered the ward, he saw his wife still unconscious on the bed. He could not suppress the guilt and anger in his chest. He patted the heads of the two children and said, "Don't worry, Dad will give you an explanation for this matter."
