"No, she is illiterate and doesn't even know where the Fang family lives. Fang Guoxiang asks someone to send some money back every year. Someone helps him take care of the two elderly people, and he lives a hands-off life in the city. It's so comfortable.
Old Fang's parents were also cruel. The man had been taking care of them for so many years without complaint, and they even developed feelings for their dog, but they refused to do so. They helped their son hide it from his wife, not telling her where Fang Guoxiang lived, and not allowing her to come and look for him.
Bah! You two old, wicked bastards, aren't you afraid of being reborn as animals after death?!"
"How old are Fang Guoxiang's parents? Are they still alive?"
He Xiaojie is no longer willing to call him Uncle Fang and calls him by his name directly.
"How can you talk like that? He's only in his sixties. Is he going to die? It seems his mother passed away two years ago. Fang Guoxiang was so cruel that he was afraid his wife and children would ask him for money, so he didn't go back to attend the funeral. He didn't even see his mother for the last time. How can he be so heartless?"
When Wang Taozhi heard these things at the beginning, she was also shocked. In their courtyard, Lao Fang's wife was the annoying rat that everyone hated, stirring up trouble every day.
Lao Fang is a man of few words. He appears to be honest and gets along well with his neighbors. However, no one would have thought that he is actually a very venomous snake.
It is true that people from the same family tend to be similar.
From then on, their family cut off all contact with the Fang family. Such people could be so cruel to their parents, let alone their neighbors?
He Chunsheng felt about eight-tenths full and put down his chopsticks. "Old Fang may not be a good person, but his two children in the countryside are quite hardworking. They get up before dawn at four or five to feed the chickens and pigs, and help their mother with farm work. After school, they work until late at night. In their free time, they go to the mountains to collect herbs and catch cicadas and monkeys, and sell them at the supply and marketing cooperative to pay for their tuition.
Their grades were pretty good, and they managed to finish junior high school with some difficulty. High school was a struggle, and the eldest couldn't bear to see his mother toiling in the fields, so he went to the commune to do odd jobs to earn money. The second child is still studying, and they're getting by okay.
Wang Taozhi nodded in agreement. The reputation of the head of the Fang family had spread throughout the surrounding villages, and no one failed to praise him.
"He is a motivated person. It was not easy for him, but he still found time to learn how to prepare medicinal herbs from the barefoot doctor in the village. In the end, he really made money.
He's also a filial son. When his mother was sick, he carried her to the hospital on his back. Even when his heels were rubbed raw, he never complained about being tired... This child would have been a waste if he had been left in the countryside. The few cowards that Lao Fang later had in the city couldn't even compare to him."
He Ruixue had an idea. Could this person be the all-round assistant and the best professional manager of the heroine in the article?
Being able to find a way out in adversity, being extremely intelligent and decisive, does sound somewhat fitting.
"His eldest brother is already 24, and he's still not married. What is Lao Fang thinking?"
"What are you thinking? Humph, he doesn't even want to acknowledge this son. Qian Guihua can't be happy about someone sharing her son's property.
If it were a girl, they might have pretended to manage it and earned some money to buy a new house for their two younger sons, but unfortunately, she is too stubborn and would not come to him for help even if she starved to death."
He Xiaojie's pupils trembled. "So Aunt Qian knows about this. She's from the city, right? How could she marry a second-married woman from the countryside who already has children?"
"She didn't know when they were dating, but she should have found out later. Fang Guoxiang felt guilty and had been giving in to her all these years. She even spent the New Year at her father-in-law's house."
He Chunsheng snorted coldly, "How can someone like him be in the wrong? He can only fool Qian Guihua. The Qian family has been city dwellers for generations, and they have many relatives. Isn't it better than his Fang family?
He also hoped that Yue's family could raise a few children, so he would rush over to show filial piety to them, and be more devoted to them than to his own parents."
Wang Taozhi looked down on his family's affairs, fearing that someone would stick with her. At this moment, she did not forget to warn the children, "Qian Guihua's eldest son Fang Yongfu is from the same class as Dongbao. He barely got into high school and couldn't find a job more than a year after graduation. The street office notified him several times, but now he has to go to the countryside.
Qian Guihua must be getting anxious. Today, she came up to me to ask about Xiaojie's job. No matter how much I scolded her, she wouldn't leave. She insisted that Dongbao had connections and asked me to help introduce her. "All of you, keep your mouths shut. No matter what she asks, just say you don't know. Remember that?"
Several people nodded, and Lu Lan was a little worried. "Mom, when you're not home, Aunt Qian always peeks through our window. She's sneaky. I was scared the last time I saw her."
Who wouldn’t be scared if they turned their head towards the window and met a pair of eyes?
She almost had a miscarriage and her stomach ached from fear.
"She's a sinister creature with a bad fate. She deserves to have her legs broken."
Wang Taozhi cursed softly, then turned to comfort her, "It's okay. I'll sew a curtain for you later. When we go out, just close the door. Out of sight, out of mind."
…
He Ruixue didn't care about the Fang family's affairs. She just heard about it and let it go. It had no impact on her life anyway.
However, she was slapped in the face a few days later. She was sorting out the reports when a colleague came over and said that someone was looking for her.
She went downstairs in confusion and saw a man with a bulbous nose and pockmarks on his face pulling a colleague from the HR department and asking in an arrogant tone.
"How do female employees here transfer their jobs to their husbands after marriage? What documents do they need to submit? If I'm not satisfied with my office job, can I be transferred to a truck driver later?"
The colleague rolled his eyes, but when he saw her approaching, he let go of his hand as if he had been pardoned. "Comrade He Ruixue, I'm here to talk to you. Do you want to find a place to talk alone?"
"No, I have nothing to discuss with him."
He Ruixue stopped on the stairs and looked at him with the eyes of a monkey. "Who are you? Do I know you?"
