Fang Qing was kicked in the stomach and fell to the ground, causing gasps of surprise from those around her.
"Bean sprouts."
Fang Daniu stepped forward to help Douya up, but Fang Qing stood up and threw herself at Zhao Jingzhong.
"Let him go first. If he gets hurt, I won't give you a single penny!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingzhong instinctively let go of his hand.
Fang Qing quickly rescued Zhao Shi'an from his grasp.
She patted Zhao Shi'an's back to help him catch his breath, and his face returned to normal.
"Are you alright?"
Zhao Shi'an's gaze remained fixed on her face.
And so it is again.
This fool is genuinely good to him.
"I've released the person, just give me the money quickly."
Fang Qing glared at him fiercely and told Zhao to go home and get the money.
Zhao Shi'an grabbed Fang Qing's hand, not wanting her to take the money out.
"It's okay, we can earn more money, but you can't get hurt."
Zhao Shi'an's heart was filled with warmth.
He even went so far as to believe that everything he had experienced in his previous life was so that he could experience the warmth this fool gave him in this life.
[Congratulations! Your villainous value has decreased by one point, now standing at 89. You will receive ten days of lifespan and a reward of 400 points.]
Xiao Dou's sudden voice rang out, but Fang Qing didn't pay attention; she was waiting for Zhao Jingzhong.
Just now, she made a decision: she absolutely cannot let Zhao Shi'an live next to Zhao Jingzhong.
Zhao took the money and handed it to Fang Qing after some hesitation.
Zhao Jingzhong stared greedily at the four taels of silver. She stepped forward to snatch it, but Fang Qing threw it at him.
"roll!"
Zhao Jingzhong picked up the silver and quickly stuffed it into his pocket.
"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you. If you ever dare to covet my family's money again, I'll make you pay."
As he spoke, Zhao Jingzhong's gaze fell on Zhao Shi'an.
"Son, you've really made your father proud. Keep up the good work and try to earn more money for your father's drinks."
His shamelessness earned him the contempt of everyone.
"Have some decency, or Zhao Shi'an's mother will not live with you anymore."
"The child is still young, it's really unlucky to have a father like you."
Zhao Jingzhong didn't take it seriously and walked away with a chuckle.
After offering a few words of comfort to Fang Daniu and the others, everyone went home.
Fang Dashan walked over to Fang Qing and looked at her.
"Bean Sprout, are you alright?"
Fang Qing instinctively tried to shake her head, but only then did she realize that her stomach hurt.
Zhao Jingzhong's kick just now was no joke.
Fang Qing told them, and Zhao Shi'an quickly pulled her into the house to check. Fortunately, she was fine after rubbing her with medicinal wine.
Zhao Shi'an sat in the outer room with his head down and didn't say a word.
He thought he could tolerate Zhao Jingzhong, but he found he couldn't.
Especially when Zhao Jingzhong kicked Douya.
What right did that bastard have to treat Bean Sprout like that?
His reason was consumed by murderous intent.
When Fang Qing came out, Zhao Shi'an had already left.
"Why didn't Father keep Zhao Shi'an? Wouldn't he just continue to be bullied by that bastard if he went back?"
As Fang Qing was about to chase after Zhao Shi'an, Fang Daniu stopped her.
"Xiao Zhao was embarrassed about what happened just now. He's been sitting here without saying a word. I think he doesn't know how to face you."
Fang Qing frowned and asked Xiao Dou, and only after confirming that Zhao Shi'an was not in danger did she stop chasing after him.
Without four taels of silver, he couldn't build a house for the time being, so Fang Daniu tied up his ox and went back up the mountain.
Fang Qing's stomach was fine now, so she took the sheep and Da Shan to cut grass.
The weather is getting colder day by day, and the mountain village is shrouded in thick fog.
That morning, Old Fang got up as early as usual and went to collect manure with a bamboo basket on his back.
The fog was so thick that he almost slipped and fell when he reached the foot of the stone bridge at the village entrance.
"Who's the heartless bastard who stole the stone block? You wicked bastard."
He walked along, cursing and swearing, glancing down at the bridge. He vaguely saw something on the water's surface, and curiosity drove him to go closer. What he saw was astonishing: a person was floating on the water.
Within fifteen minutes, the entire Fangjia Village was alarmed, and all the villagers rushed to the stone bridge.
The fog cleared, and everyone pulled the body out of the river.
It turned out to be Zhao Jingzhong, who was carrying a wine bottle in his arms.
"It was very foggy last night. This drunkard must have drunk too much and fell off the bridge, taking the stone pier with him."
"It's a real tragedy. Zhao Shi'an is still so young. What will happen to him in the future?"
"You make it sound like Zhao Jingzhong took care of that child when he was alive, and now he's dead and all is well."
The village chief had Zhao Jingzhong turned over and found a money bag containing three taels of silver and several hundred coins.
Then the body and the money were sent to Zhao Shi'an's house.
Fang Qing learned about this at noon; she heard it from Da Shan.
Her first thought after finding out was whether Zhao Shi'an would be sad.
Although Zhao Jingzhong was a scoundrel, Fang Qing also hoped that this person would never appear by Zhao Shi'an's side again.
But he was, after all, Zhao Shi'an's father.
She threw down her sickle and ran towards Zhao Shi'an's house.
There was no mourning hall or white silk; Zhao Jingzhong had already been buried when Fang Qing arrived.
They went to a neighboring village and bought a coffin on short notice. Since the Zhao family had no relatives left, they buried him there.
When Fang Qing arrived, Zhao Shi'an was packing his things to leave, looking perfectly normal, and it was impossible to tell whether he was sad or upset.
Fang Qing walked over cautiously.
"Zhao Shi'an, don't be sad. From now on, I'll be your family."
She was exceptionally sincere, and Zhao Shi'an's cold gaze fell on her face.
"I am not sad."
He pushed the person without the slightest hesitation.
Around this time in his previous life, Zhao Jingzhong sold him into a wealthy family as a slave, and it was there that his cruel personality was formed.
