Chapter 67 The Tools of the Educated Youth in the 1970s 29



Fang Yuan's life and mood are going very smoothly.

Meanwhile, in the Fang family in Chongqing, Mr. Fang and his stepmother Luo Chunhua started arguing again.

The cause was the meat that Fang Yuan sent back to his father.

Although Fang Yuan repeatedly told his father to eat it himself, the other dried meat and meat sauce were fine.

It's ready to eat, but the sausage she sent was raw. You can't exactly take it to someone else's house to cook, can you?

Thinking that his youngest daughter was his own child, he took the sausage home.

As a result, Luo Chunhua immediately exploded when she saw the sausages that Fang's father had brought back:

"Fang Chenggong, what do you mean? Last time I asked you to send some money to Qingqing, and you said you didn't have any? Now you turn around and buy meat."

My Qingqing is suffering up north. She's called you "Dad" for so many years, don't you have any conscience?

She felt that in the years since they got married, she had never really understood this man. Was the kind-hearted man she knew before a fake?

"These sausages were sent back to me by Yuanyuan. We were both sent to the countryside in the same place, so why is your daughter suffering?" Mr. Fang asked with a sneer.

Thinking of the letters his eldest son and Fang Yuan had sent him, he felt an indescribable sense of frustration and heartbreak.

He was blinded by the woman's appearance, which is why he believed her lies about giving them food.

Didn't he feed them? Didn't Wang Qingqing have anything that his daughter had?

Even this couldn't warm the hearts of the mother and daughter, so he sent his daughter to the countryside.

"How can you say you didn't suffer? How much did you give my Qingqing when she went to the countryside, and how much did you give your Fangyuan when she went to the countryside? Do you dare say that the money you gave was the same?" Luo Chunhua questioned Fang's father.

Although she didn't know how much Fang's father had given Fang Yuan, it was definitely more than what he had given Qingqing. This man was truly ruthless.

The thought of her daughter suffering in the countryside made her extremely sad.

"Hmph! Same? Did I mistreat your daughter after she came to my house? You complain that fifty yuan from me, her stepfather, is too little, but what about you, her biological mother?"

"You're holding onto my deceased wife's job, and you keep all your salary yourself. Why won't you give it to her? Have you ever given my daughter a single penny?" Mr. Fang retorted.

He could only be thankful that when he asked this woman to fill in for him, she was just a temporary worker, and he hadn't believed her nonsense about passing it on to the child later.

Otherwise, this woman would have taken over his house long ago. This mother and daughter are even more ruthless than Du Juan!

"I... I only earn 18 yuan a month. I spend all of it on buying things for my child. Where would I get the money?" Luo Chunhua said somewhat guiltily.

"Buying things for the child? Which child? The one you had with that adulterer?"

He could hardly believe it when he received Fang Yuan's letter, but out of suspicion, he still carefully inquired about the woman's background.

Only then did I realize that this woman's disguise was exceptionally skillful.

Her ex-husband was sent to the countryside after she and her lover reported him.

She even had a son with her lover, but the lover was unlucky; not long after the child was born, he was found to have problems and was executed.

She then returned to her parents' home, gave her son away to be raised by someone else, and then hastily married him.

Fang's father's three questions startled Luo Chunhua.

He knew she had another son? How could he know?

She raised her children with her relatives on her mother's side.

"What are you saying? Didn't I buy things for Yu'er?" Luo Chunhua said somewhat hesitantly.

"Then tell me, what have you bought for Fang Yu?"

Looking at Fang's father's confident expression, Luo Chunhua was startled.

“I…I…”

Looking at her daughter's belongings from head to toe, Luo Chunhua realized that perhaps Mr. Fang already knew about her son.

So he bought all of his daughter's things; she would only help sew a little at most.

"Alright, that's enough. Luo Chunhua, I know everything about your affairs now. Don't cause any more trouble, or we'll all fall apart."

Mr. Fang looked at Luo Chunhua and was filled with regret. Why didn't he investigate more carefully back then?

"I didn't do anything. Fang Yuan went to the countryside for Xiao Bei's sake. Which family doesn't leave the job to their son?"

Seeing this, Luo Chunhua still wanted to salvage the situation and continued with her previous explanation.

"You're still going to bring up Xiao Bei? How old is Xiao Bei? You're used to taking advantage of others, aren't you? You're using my family's money to raise your son with your lover, and you want me to raise your daughter too? You're really dreaming!"

Fang's father sneered and tore off her fig leaf.

"Fang Chenggong, what are you saying? I also gave birth to your daughter. Now I'm family with you, and you look down on me like this?"

Luo Chunhua felt embarrassed after being told that by Fang's father.

Seeing Luo Chunhua's furious face, Fang's father didn't want to say anything to her.

"You're the one who doesn't treat us like family. I feel disgusted just looking at your face. If you don't want to live here, then get out."

This woman is shameless. She's played his whole family for fools, and she still has the nerve to spout this nonsense to him.

"You said it yourself, I'm going back to my parents' house right now, I don't want to see your old face!"

Luo Chunhua was too embarrassed to face the man who knew her secrets.

She felt as if she were naked and exposed to the sun, which made her feel uncomfortable all over.

However, she did not intend to actually leave the Fang family, so she took her youngest daughter, Fang Yu, with her when she left.

When Fang Bei got home and learned that his stepmother had taken his younger sister back to her parents' home, he was overjoyed.

During dinner that evening, he took out the things Fang Yuan had sent him and shared them with Fang's father:

"Dad, my sister sent me some meat sauce. She said she sent some to you too. Did you receive it?"

Fang Bei took out a jar of meat sauce, placed it on the table, and asked his father.

"It's been sent. These sausages were sent by your sister. Eat more."

As he spoke, Mr. Fang placed a piece of sausage on his youngest son's plate and looked at him.

This child has become sensible without me even realizing it.

"Sausage too? Why did my sister send me dried meat and meat sauce? This sausage is delicious too!"

Fang Bei ate a piece of sausage and said happily.

To make it easier for the boy to have extra meals, Fang Yuan only sent him dried meat and meat sauce, which he could eat directly.

"Eat as much as you like, and study hard in the future. Your sister knows she needs to continue her studies now," Mr. Fang said to his youngest son.

If this brat hadn't consistently had such poor grades, he wouldn't have been fooled by that mother and daughter in the first place.

"I know, I listened attentively in class, I know I should study hard," Fang Bei said defiantly.

He also understood that his sister was willing to go to the countryside because she was afraid he would be unemployed in the future.

If I study hard and go to university, then my older sister can come back and take over my mother's job.

“Your sister said that Wang Qingqing heard that the college entrance examination will be reinstated in a few years. You should study hard and try to get into a good university, understand?” Mr. Fang said to his son.

He didn't believe the news at first, but after confirming that Luo Chunhua's story was true, he believed it to be mostly true.

"Dad, don't worry, I will really study hard. By the way, you also sent my sister some review books. She will definitely be able to get into university if she gets good grades. Or why don't you sell my mom's job?"

Fang Bei thought about it again and again, and realized that his stepmother was always eyeing his mother's job and was always trying to do something bad.

Since that's the case, why not just sell the job? The siblings can find work on their own from now on.
