"Someone must have bullied him. Where is he?"
Let me see... a person... um? Look up.
Fang Qing looked up and met a pair of serious eyes.
Zhao Shi'an was watching her the whole time?
What's the deal with his sudden increase in villainous value?
"Oh, I know. He must be jealous because he saw me getting close to Fang Zhu. Kids don't want to share their friendships with others, especially a lonely kid like Zhao Shi'an."
They probably don't consider you a friend either.
Fang Qing ignored it and ran towards Zhao Shi'an.
"Zhao Shi'an!"
Zhao Shi'an snorted coldly and walked home.
"Zhao Shi'an, wait for me!"
She chased after him.
"Come with me and take a look at my two acres of land."
Zhao Shi'an didn't even glance at her.
"What do you think of my suggestion from last time? How about you join me in farming?"
Zhao Shi'an sneered inwardly.
Why would a high-ranking official like him covet a piece of broken land?
"Don't follow me!"
He yelled irritably and headed home.
Fang Qing's smile froze on her face.

The tricks used to coax children don't work at all.
She hesitated for a moment, but Zhao Shi'an had already disappeared. Fang Qing chased after him.
Her intuition told her that if she couldn't resolve Zhao Shi'an's unhappiness today, things would likely get even more complicated later.
Fang Qing went to Zhao Shi'an's house.
This is a house even more dilapidated than Douya's. It has three rooms in total, one of which has collapsed. The earthen courtyard wall has been washed away by rain for many years, leaving only the base of the wall. The fence gate is also useless.
Fang Qing called out to Zhao Shi'an from outside the fence gate, and suddenly heard cursing coming from inside.
"You little bastard, you still dare to hide money? Give it to me."
"I heard that you often bring things back from the mountains. You should exchange them for money and give them to me, okay?"
"I'm talking to you, and you dare to glare at me!"
Without a word, the drunk man started punching and kicking Zhao Shi'an.
Fang Qing rushed into the house and saw a man pinning Zhao Shi'an to the ground, the stool in his hand about to smash into Zhao Shi'an.
"stop."
Fang Qing used all her strength to push the man away.
