Chapter 261 Chapter 261 The Child Was Beaten
Hundreds of horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts were coming in and out of the outskirts of the North Gate, transporting all kinds of products. The scene was so grand that the nearby villagers all saw it and were envious.
"With so much merchandise, how much money does this owner have to make?"
"I heard there are still several factories in the factory area that have not yet been put into operation. If they are all opened, making a fortune every day will not be a dream!"
"Do you think this owner is some important figure?"
"That's hard to say. What do you have an idea?"
The people nearby were talking about it, and the news about the factory in the northern suburbs naturally spread to the city quickly.
Xu Yunfan, who is the focus of attention, has been so busy recently that he doesn't even have time to go to the farm, so how can he have time to listen to gossip? However, he did keep Lin Duoduo's affairs in mind.
After Qin Run told him that Lin Duoduo had been in much better health recently and Lin Erhu agreed, Xu Yunfan wrote a letter the next day and asked Fang Zixi to send it out again.
Xu Yunfan is an ambitious man. He won't do anything illegal, but he will do everything he can to ensure that he can gain a foothold in the Dayan Dynasty.
This guy poached the Meng family, not only by poaching Doctor Meng, but also through Jiang Yunshen, he learned about several doctors in the capital who had a good reputation and had long retired. Xu Yunfan offered a very tempting inducement and lured these old men in their sixties out of the mountains. Not only did they have to leave their hometowns at such an old age, but they also had to teach and educate people according to the textbooks he set every day. However, none of these people had any objections and instead enjoyed it.
Fang Zixi has recently been the shopkeeper at Yunrun Restaurant. She basically eats and drinks in the restaurant. Sometimes her three children also play in the restaurant and can eat whatever they want.
Yunrun store has recently added several new types of food to the shelves. Many people come too late and can’t even buy the leftovers, but the three children never lack food.
Fang's mother has been very upset recently. She wants to go out and find some sisters to go shopping together, but she doesn't dare to go out.
There is no way. In the past, this group of people secretly thought that Fang Zixi and his son were the sinners of the Fang family and could only rely on their parents for support. But now that the brother-in-law has come, oh no, it's terrible. On the first day of his arrival, the brother-in-law started fighting with the Wu brothers and sisters, and beat Wu Cang so hard that he couldn't get out of bed for several days. Wu Lan cried and asked Prince Xiao for help, but Prince Xiao ignored them.
I heard that the head of the Su family was furious about this and wanted to cause trouble for Fang Zixi's brother-in-law. However, that night, Madam Xiao went back to her parents' home. After Su Yunfei left the Su family in tears, the Wu family has stayed indoors until today. Even if the Fang family broke off the engagement, the Wu family dared not say anything.
Do they dare to be angry?
Old Madam Xiao said that if they dared to touch Xu Yunfan, she would punish them. No matter whether they were her brothers or her niece, if anyone dared to touch Xu Yunfan, she would punish them if they showed any sign of disobedience in the capital.
Madam Xiao's words not only represent herself, but also represent the Xiao Palace.
The Su family is her mother's family, and Old Madam Xiao didn't even bother to save her face, so what is the Wu family?
This matter became a hot topic in the circle the next day. Many people were speculating about the origin of Xu Yunfan. They heard that he was just from overseas. What's so great about him?
But in their eyes, this person was nothing special. Not only did he open the Yunrun store that was almost known to everyone in the capital, but he also caught the eye of Prince Xiao.
That's it, Fang Zixi's brother-in-law is not someone you can easily mess with.
What they didn't expect was that Fang Zixi's brother-in-law was actually a teacher, and the reason he came to Beijing was to participate in the teacher competition.
What was even more unexpected was that Xu Yunfan became famous in the Master's Competition. Judging from his performance, he was destined to be a well-known figure in the future.
Maybe some people will say that Fang Zixi's brother-in-law is capable and promising, but that is his brother-in-law's business, what does it have to do with Fang Zixi?
How could it have nothing to do with Fang Zixi?
Xu Yunfan caused trouble on his first day in Beijing. Why did this happen? What was his intention?
First, it was an indirect warning to those who had mocked Fang Zixi for getting pregnant out of wedlock and gossiped about him behind her back. Second, it was to vent Fang Zixi's anger and clear her name. Third, it was also a way to tell everyone that it didn't matter if Fang Zixi's husband wasn't here. As long as Fang Zixi was his eldest brother's husband, he was a member of the Xu family. Xu Yunfan had to protect the Xu family. Anyone who dared to speak out against the Xu family would be making things difficult for him. If they made things difficult for him, what would be the consequences? The Wu brothers and sisters were a perfect example.
Xu Yunfan is a protective person. So what if Wu Lan and Fang Peizhou are engaged?
If you dare to provoke him, he will beat you up no matter who you are.
Just like this, everyone can't help but say that Fang Zixi's brother-in-law is great.
Not only is it okay, it’s really okay.
Damn it, Fang Zixi, the shameless person whom they used to look down upon behind their backs, has now become the object of their fawning.
There's nothing I can do about it. He has such a good brother-in-law.
Who asked my brother-in-law to open a restaurant that no one else can run?
The hot pot, cold drinks and all kinds of food in the restaurant are unique. They are only sold in Yunrun stores and restaurants and are not available anywhere else.
Yunrun store has a large number of customers every day. If you are unlucky, you may not get a turn even if you wait in line for a whole day. Even so, Yunrun Restaurant is still a place that many important people often visit. If anyone invites guests, it is a very face-saving thing to host a banquet at Yunrun Restaurant.
For this reason, some ladies and husbands have to associate with Madam Fang and interact with her more often. Maybe Fang Zixi will give them a gold card for the sake of Madam Fang's mother.
Fang's mother was naturally happy to be complimented by people when she went out recently. However, no one is a fool. She knew very well what those who looked down on her brother before were trying to do. Now they kept praising their youngest son.
Fang Zixi is in charge of Yunrun Restaurant. Not only does Fang's mother have face when she goes out, but the three brothers of the Fang family are also the objects of flattery and friendship.
Wu Lan, Lan Xin and others had never expected that Fang Zixi would have a day to turn things around. Look, even though he was just the owner of a restaurant, there were many people who wanted to curry favor with him.
As soon as Wu Lan entered the restaurant, he saw Xiaobao playing at the counter.
The current Xiaobao is completely different from the shy boy he used to be.
In addition, after not seeing him for half a year, the little guy has changed a little. His facial features have become more delicate and handsome, and his little face is chubby, white and fat. He is exactly the dream grandson in the eyes of all the ladies. Wu Lan gritted his teeth.
From Xiaobao's appearance, it is not difficult to see how handsome the child's father is.
"Baoer." Wu Lan called out subconsciously.
She had come into contact with Bao'er before. Although Bao'er was indifferent to her, Wu Lan, relying on her status as her aunt, had privately scolded her not to ask her uncle for anything, because her uncle's money had to be left for her cousin.
Xiaobao was still young at that time, and he remembered the displeasure in Wu Lan's eyes. He just told Wu Lan out of curiosity that the Fang family had no cousin.
Because of this sentence, Wu Lan thought Xiaobao was cursing her for not being able to give birth to a son. She even maliciously thought that a child less than three years old already had ambitions and knew how to fight for power. He was obviously a grandson, but he actually wanted to be the legitimate eldest grandson of the Fang family.
Fang Zixi happened to be away that day, after all, they had not yet gotten married. After Fang's mother left, Fang Peizhou didn't want to stay any longer, so Xiaobao was left to live with Wu Lan.
Seeing that there was no one around, Wu Lan warned Xiaobao harshly and pushed him a few more times.
After all, beating someone easily leaves evidence. If the child falls by himself, it would be difficult for people to say anything to her since she is not yet married into the family.
Xiaobao cried out of grievance at the time. He did not tell Fang's mother and Fang Peizhou about this. Fang Zixi only found several bruises on the child's body when she came back in the evening to wash his little butt. She learned from the nanny that her son suddenly fell down in the afternoon when he was with his sister-in-law who had not yet married into the family. Fang Zixi asked Xiaobao about it, and after learning the reason, Fang Zixi decided to save money and leave home.
Hearing someone calling him, Xiaobao looked up. When he saw Wu Lan, the half-eaten chicken feet in his hand dropped to the ground.
"Xiaobao?" Qin An noticed something was wrong with Xiaobao. He followed Xiaobao's gaze and immediately frowned, blocking Xiaobao's way. "Sister, who are you?"
As the saying goes, if you love someone, you will hate everyone else.
Wu Lan hated Fang Zixi, so naturally she wouldn't like Xiaobao. Even though Xiaobao was good-looking, he had never offended her.
It was all Fang Zixi's fault that she lost face so much last time and the Fang family broke off the engagement.
Fang Zixi is simply her nemesis. Wu Lan has not even dared to leave the house recently. However, she knows everything about Fang Zixi.
Why?
Why is Fang Zixi so popular, while I have become a rat in the gutter and dare not see anyone?
Because of him, not only did Prince Xiao hold a grudge against his elder brother Wu Cang, but even after his injury had healed, the Xiao family army expelled him.
Wu Cang was considered "useless", and the Wu family's hope naturally declined.
Wu Lan could not swallow this insult. He came here today just to ask Fang Zixi why she was so cruel and wanted to kill the Wu family.
When he saw Xiaobao, Wu Lan's hatred and jealousy towards Fang Zixi reached an unprecedented peak.
Faced with Qin Mu's question, Wu Lan did not answer. He took a few steps forward, raised his hand and wanted to give Xiaobao a beating.
"Brother Qi, help!" Qin Mu had been bullied by Li's people when he was a wild boy in the mountains. He could see the malicious eyes at a glance.
While Qin An was protecting Xiaobao, Qin Mu had already run upstairs.
He knew that most of the people on the first floor were common people. Wu Lan was accompanied by a maid. Due to the difference in their status, they could only speak a few words at most, but they might not dare to take action if they were asked to.
The situation is different for the guests in the private room on the second floor.
He heard from Brother Fang that only those holding gold cards could enter the private rooms of the store, and today he saw with his own eyes the two brothers of the Qi family enter.
Qi Xiufu and Qi Xiuyuan came here today to treat us to dinner. Xu Yunfan gave the Qi family several gold cards. The Qi Xiufu brothers can be said to be regular customers of Yunrun Restaurant, so they naturally know Xu Yunfan's two brothers-in-law.
As soon as Fang Yi heard Qin Mu's voice, the meatball that Qi Xiufu had half-grabbed fell back into the red soup base, and he stood up and rushed out.
Just as Wu Lan's slap was about to fall, Qin An gritted his teeth, took the initiative, and knocked Wu Lan out.
"Ah, you little bastard, how dare you protect a bastard? Let me deal with him." Wu Lan was knocked back a few steps and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the maid beside him was quick and quickly supported him.
The other diners noticed what was happening and looked over. Wu Lan's face turned ugly, she bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth and pushed the maid beside her, "Go and catch that little bastard for me."
"Bad guy, if you dare to touch us two, I will let my brother-in-law raze your house to the ground tomorrow." Qin An would say hateful words. In fact, he was also a little afraid of causing trouble. The capital was not like the village. In the village, it was normal for children to fight. Even if something happened, at most they would be scolded and beaten. It was different in the capital.
On the way to Beijing, he heard from his eldest brother that Beijing was different from the village, and if they offended someone they shouldn't offend, they might not be able to go back.
But at that time, Gefu's nose was up in the air, and he said in a very arrogant tone, "Don't be afraid, as long as it's not your fault and you didn't provoke them first, if anyone dares to bully you, or if you are bullied outside, you don't have to bear it. Just tell Gefu, and Gefu will seek justice for you. If the family is unreasonable, Gefu can even crush their entire family to pieces."
Qin An doesn't want to cause trouble for his family, but that doesn't mean he's afraid.
Xiaobao was called a bastard, and Qin An, who was protecting Xiaobao, was so angry that his eyes turned red.
"Second uncle, Xiaobao is not a bastard. She bullied Xiaobao." Xiaobao was obviously a little afraid of Wu Lan. He held on to the corner of Qin An's clothes tightly, very timid.
The maid was quite strong, and Qin An tried to push her away but got slapped instead. Xiao Bao immediately refused to stand for it, and pounced on the maid, punching and kicking her.
However, the child was a little fat and not very strong. The maid frowned, obviously not liking Xiaobao's behavior, and directly pinned him to the ground.
Wu Lan's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to give Xiaobao a good beating, he felt a pain in his back and was kicked to the ground.
That night, Xu Yunfan learned about this. He smiled and comforted the children, praised them one by one, and then said nothing more. He asked Fang Zixi and Qin Run to take them to wash up, and then went into the study.
"Our An Ge is very good. He knows how to protect his nephew and relatives. Very good. He is worthy of being the brother-in-law of the brother-in-law."
"Brother Mu is also great. He was fearless in the face of danger and knew to ask adults for help. That's great. You are still children. When you encounter something you can't solve yourself, that's what you should do. Of course, our Xiaobao is also great. He knows how to protect his uncle. That's great. In short, the three of you have performed very well. This is what a loving family should be like."
After receiving praise and being slapped, Qin An, whose face was swollen, smiled embarrassedly and didn't even feel the pain on his face.
Fang Zixi didn't say anything, but just touched Qin An's face with heartache. Qin Run also thought that Xu Yunfan had let it go.
As a result, the two found that they had underestimated Xu Yunfan's temper.
The eldest young master has a very bad temper. People who know Xu Yunfan know that he is actually a vindictive person. He can be big or small-minded. For some things, he can just laugh it off and pretend nothing happened, but for some things, if it touches his bottom line, it is useless even if you kneel down and cry for mercy.
Fang Zixi naturally couldn't tell the Fang family about Xiaobao's matter. Qin Run wanted to tell Qin Feiyu, but Qin Feiyu and Qin Qian, father and son, were both military officers. To put it bluntly, this matter was not a big deal. If he asked them to take action, they couldn't beat Wu Lan up. At most, they could just remind Mr. Wu to discipline his daughter well. Qin Run felt that such a painless lesson was unnecessary.
Since Xu Yunfan didn't mention it, the sisters-in-law naturally didn't do anything else.
The next day, Xu Yunfan went out and came back with a package. After that, he stayed in the study and didn't go anywhere.
Xu Yunfan appeared to be in good spirits these past two days, but he felt a surge of anger inside.
He found out everything. When Qin An made those harsh remarks, Wu Lan was very disdainful and didn't take a child's words seriously at all.
He really dares to brag about razing the Wu family to the ground.
The three children were bullied. Even though Fu Xiufu kicked Wu Lan at that time, making him lose face, what did that have to do with him?
As the brother-in-law, he has not yet avenged his brother-in-law/son.
Wu Lan not only hit the three children, but also hit Xu Shao in the face. This matter definitely cannot be let go like this.
A few days later, Xu Yunfan got up in the middle of the night. He was not sure what he was going to do. He was dressed in a tight suit and had a weapon stuck on his waist that Qin Run did not know what it was. "Where are you going?"
Xu Yunfan gritted his teeth and said, "I want to avenge my three children."
Qin Run woke up all of a sudden and got up quickly. It was still dark outside the window. "You want to avenge An Ge'er and the others? Second Uncle and the others have already been to the Wu Mansion."
He thought the matter was over. When Qin Qingfeng later found out about this, his face turned extremely ugly, and he took Fu Qingxu directly to the Wu family.
Xu Yunfan: "They are venting their anger for their son, that's what they should do, it's none of my business. I vent their anger for them, that's my own business. The Wu family is too presumptuous, they dared to let their daughter out to touch our family, do they really think I'm dead?"
"If you want revenge, you wouldn't go out so late at night, right? Are you dressed like this to start a fight?"
"Didn't An Ge'er say that if anyone dared to bully him, his brother-in-law would destroy the Wu family? Didn't Wu Lan not believe it? Tonight I'll let her know what it means to mess with the wrong person. Besides, a real man, how can you go back on your word? I'm going out tonight. You go to sleep first. Don't wait for me. I'll be back at dawn."
Even ten oxen might not be able to pull Xu Yunfan back to what he wants to do.
Qin Run had no choice but to remind him to come back safely.
Xu Yunfan nodded, leaned over and kissed Qin Run twice, then went out under the cover of night.
At dawn, the street where the Wu family lived suddenly erupted with several earth-shaking noises, and the surrounding people even felt the ground shaking.
Someone shouted, "Look, what's going on over at the Wu Mansion?"
As if to fit the occasion, as soon as the man finished speaking, there were a few more bangs, and a burst of gravel flew around and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the curious people who wanted to watch the excitement retreated in fear and stayed away from the Wu Mansion.
The first explosion in the Wu Mansion happened in the yard, scaring the Wu family, from the fifty-year-old man to the teenagers. They all jumped out of bed and ran out.
Wu Lan’s crime did not affect the young child. Fortunately, the Wu family did not have many children, so Xu Yunfan immediately blew up three houses of the Wu family.
"What happened?" Old Master Wu was trembling as he was supported by two servants. He was heartbroken when he saw several houses in his family that were destroyed by the bomb.
Mr. Wu was still a little stunned at this time, "Dad, I don't know!"
Wu Lan's legs went weak, and he suddenly remembered Qin An's words, "If you dare to hit me, I'll have my brother and father destroy your house tomorrow." He immediately shouted, "It's Xu Yunfan, it must be Xu Yunfan..."
When Master Wu heard his daughter mention Xu Yunfan, he thought of all the bad things Wu Lan had done. The Wu family had lost all their face. Now that Prince Xiao's Mansion wouldn't give them face, the Fang family's marriage was also ruined. The storm hadn't died down yet. A few days ago, Prince Xu was furious and came to the house to make a scene. He was humble and humble, bowing his head and waist before sending that big Buddha away. Thinking of how he had been so humble, Master Wu couldn't help but get angry. Without saying a word, he slapped her in the face, "Rebellious daughter, what have you done again? Didn't I tell you to stay out of the house and wait for the storm to pass before getting married? You must destroy our Wu family before you are satisfied, right?"
