Upon hearing that her chubby grandson was there, the old woman was completely disoriented and hurriedly went inside to get money for Fang Eryou.
The family only had a few hundred coins in total, and that was after selling some of the corn.
Fang Er's expression changed instantly when he saw the amount of money.
"What can you do with this much?"
The old woman felt awkward.
"But this is all the money we have left."
Even though Fang Er disliked it, he had no choice but to accept it.
“What are you trying to gain by separating from the family? Look at my brother, he must be making at least ten taels of silver building a house now. If you don’t separate from him, all of that will be mine.”
The old woman pouted unhappily.
"Isn't it too late to say all this now? If I had known that brat Douya could make so much money, I would never have separated from her family. Just thinking about it makes me angry."
Fang Eryou's eyes lit up, and he began to give the old woman advice.
“Actually, we might get a share of that money. Don’t you know my brother’s temper? Even if we’ve separated the family, you’re still his mother. If you’re in trouble now, go ask him for money. Do you think he’ll refuse to give you a single penny?”
The old woman hesitated again.
"Last time I went to ask for corn seeds and bean sprouts, they didn't give me any. Now they want money..."
“How could you be so stupid? You treated your sister-in-law and Douya badly before, so of course you can’t get anything from Douya. You have to ask my brother about this.”
The old woman thought about it and realized that made sense.
After Fang Eryou left, the old woman went to wander around Fang Daniu's house.
These days, Fang Daniu has been busy building houses and farming. He hasn't been to the mountains for several days. After breakfast, he took his hunting tools and dry food and planned to go into the mountains. As soon as he went out, he saw the old woman.
"Mother, what are you doing here?"
Fang Daniu didn't look well.
The old woman glanced behind Fang Daniu, then pulled him aside.
"Da Niu, Mom knows she was wrong about what happened before. Are you still angry with Mom?"
Fang Daniu didn't think she really knew she was wrong.
"Mother, please tell me what you need me for."
Seeing his indifferent attitude, the old woman stopped pretending and her face immediately turned ugly.
"What kind of attitude is this? No matter what I was like before, I'm still your mother."
Once her true colors were revealed, Fang Daniu knew she wouldn't be able to say anything nice next, so he turned to leave, but the old woman quickly grabbed him.
"Da Niu, Mom has something important to tell you."
Fang Daniu looked at her coldly.
The old woman hesitated for a moment and said, "If Er needs money, shouldn't you, as his older brother, give him some?"
“No, I’m not his father, why should I give him money? Besides, we’ve separated from the family, there’s no need for me to support him anymore.”
As he spoke, Fang Daniu broke free from the old woman's hand and continued walking up the mountain, with the old woman quickly following behind.
"To tell you the truth, Er has been keeping a woman outside, and now that woman is pregnant. This is our family's child, so you have to pay for it."
Fang Daniu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he flew into a rage.
"This is utterly absurd! It's already a blessing for Eryou to marry his sister-in-law, yet he's keeping another woman on the side?"
"What's all the fuss about? My son is destined to be a high-ranking official. What's wrong with having three wives and four concubines? Besides, it's a blessing for the Zhou family to be able to marry my son. If their daughters can't have sons, can't my son find someone else?"
"Mother, how could you say such a thing? If the Zhou family finds out, will my second brother still want to live with them?"
This marriage was already a case of their family marrying above their station with the Zhou family, yet Fang Eryou doesn't even know how to cherish it.
"What are you saying? My son is handsome and talented, and there are plenty of women who want to marry him. The Zhou family just has a little money, and they won't even let your brother spend it. Just wait and see how your brother deals with them later."
Fang Daniu was so angry he didn't know what to say.
"Mother, don't meddle. Where is Eryou? I'll have a good talk with him."
"What are you saying? Don't worry, the Zhou family is completely under Eryou's control. Eryou is threatening to divorce his wife to scare them, and they will definitely obediently send the money to your brother. He will pay you back when he has the money."
"This is utterly ridiculous!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I can't reason with a blockhead like you. Go home and get me some money now."
She pushed Fang Daniu towards home, but Fang Daniu immediately shook off her hand.
"Forget about it. We've split up now. I won't spend a single copper coin for Eryou. Besides, I'm ashamed of him for what he did. Don't call him my brother anymore."
He said that made the old woman unhappy.
"What are you saying? Are you trying to embarrass yourself? I'm telling you right now, you better hand over the money obediently, or else... or else I'm not done with you today!"
She pretended to be unreasonable, and Fang Daniu had never been able to do anything about it.
Just as I was about to run up the mountain quickly, Fang Qing's voice came from the other side of the alley.
"Father, what's wrong?"
Fang Qing stood not far away watching them, and naturally saw the old woman.
Fang Qing didn't hear the specifics of what they said, but she did hear something about money.
She guessed the old woman had come to ask for money.
"Grandma, feel free to tell me anything."
As she spoke, Fang Qing walked in that direction.
The old woman's heart skipped a beat when she saw her, and she instinctively took a step back as she saw her walking towards her.
“I’m talking to my son. What’s it to you? Get out of my way.”
Fang Qing's eyes were filled with laughter.
"If it's not something shameful, why can't I know?"
The old woman hated her so much she wanted to grind her teeth.
"If you, you heartless little slut, found out, wouldn't you try to scheme against me?"
