"Oh, so it seems he really has something to hide. Did Second Uncle do something that requires money?"
Fang Qing's accurate guess surprised both Fang Daniu and the old woman. Judging from their expressions, Fang Qing knew it was true.
"What did my second uncle do?"
Fang Qing was looking at Fang Daniu when she asked this question.
I was too embarrassed to tell Fang Daniu about it.
But the old woman was shameless and spoke up directly.
"Your second uncle is going to give you a younger brother, and he needs money now. Should we give it to him?"
Fang Qing raised her eyebrows.
“My aunt is the eldest daughter of the Zhou family. She’s pregnant and the Zhou family will take good care of her. Why would she need my money?”
She had already sensed something was wrong, and sure enough, the next moment she heard the old woman say, "It's not Zhou Shi."
Fang Qing couldn't help but sneer.
"So my second uncle is just like you, having an affair. How dare you come to my house to ask for money after doing something like that?"
"How dare you talk like that, you little slut? There are plenty of people who admire your second uncle. Besides, he's going to be a high-ranking official. So what if he has three wives and four concubines? Stop making things up about him here."
"Is that so? Since you think your son is so amazing, then don't ask us for money. I'm making this clear today: even if all our money is scattered on the street, we won't give it to you."
As she spoke, Fang Qing pulled Fang Daniu along and headed home.
"You come back here right now! Your father hasn't said anything yet, so who gives you the right to make decisions?"
The old woman stepped forward to grab Fang Daniu, but Fang Daniu dodged her hand.
“Bean Sprout is right. Second Brother has hands and feet, and he can earn money by copying books for others just like Big Tree. I won’t take care of him anymore, and Mother, you don’t need to come to me for him anymore.”
With that, Fang Daniu strode home with Fang Qing.
Zhao was picking vegetables in the yard when she saw them return and became curious.
"Weren't you going up the mountain? Why did you come back?"
Fang Daniu looked displeased, took a stool, sat down, and told Fang Eryou what had happened.
Zhao couldn't believe it either.
"Your sister-in-law's family is so well-off, how can you possibly repay... Does your sister-in-law know about this?"
"I don't know either."
"Then you shouldn't go into the mountains for the next few days."
"OK."
Fang Qing thought the matter wouldn't escalate, since Fang Er should at least consider the Zhou family's feelings.
But she really underestimated how thick-skinned Fang Er was.
