A layer of cold sweat broke out on Fan Tong's forehead. He was completely intimidated by Chen Qingqing, and his face was filled with respect.
"Miss Chen, what should I do according to your advice?"
Chen Qingqing smiled faintly, "Just do good deeds and don't worry about the future. Although good fortune may not have arrived yet, misfortune has already gone far away."
"What does that mean?" Fan Tong was completely bewildered.
Shi Taishou quickly explained, "Master, Miss Chen means that you should do more good deeds and charitable acts, and then bad luck will stay away from the Fan family."
"Shut up and get out of here!" Fan Tong wrung his hands anxiously. "Miss Chen, just tell me straight, what should I do?"
Mrs. Fan also asked, "Yes, since you say that giving leftovers to beggars doesn't count as doing good deeds, then what should we do?"
Chen Qingqing said, "Mr. Fan, Mrs. Fan, since you haven't done anything wrong, there's no need to be nervous. Heaven won't punish good people; it will surely protect the Fan family and keep them safe."
Fan Hun was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. It took him a long time to recover. "Miss Chen, you can't leave! Please save me!"
"Young Master Fan, I have cured your penile shrinkage. As long as you abstain from sex for six months and pay attention to your conduct, and do not philander again, I guarantee you will not relapse. As for your hair loss, that's up to fate!"
"No, no, you can't abandon me." Fan Hun shook his big head repeatedly. "Miss Chen, listen to me. My family has never done a single good deed. We've done all sorts of bad things. If you abandon me, I'll surely die."
Chen Qingqing could tell he was afraid of death, so she stared at him and asked, "Young Master Fan, what heinous things has your family done?"
“My father forcibly collected high rents from peasant families. Anyone who refused to pay would be severely beaten, and their valuables would be taken away. If they had nothing valuable, he would kidnap their daughters, play with them until he was done, and then sell them to brothels.”
Every market day, my dad would make me lead a group to collect exorbitant stall fees. If anyone refused to pay, I would beat them until they knelt down and begged for mercy, and I would confiscate their goods.
My father also lent money at exorbitant interest rates, and anyone who couldn't repay it suffered a terrible fate.
Once, my father saw a woman in Willow Village who was naturally beautiful. He framed her husband for theft, and he was imprisoned and tortured to death. Then he took the woman back, but she resisted and died by running into a wall…”
Fan Tong's face flushed red with shame and embarrassment. This brat, why didn't he think before he spoke? How could he say he did something inhuman? He's just a complete idiot! If he weren't his own son, he would have beaten him to death.
Without thinking twice, he shouted, "Shut up, you brat! What nonsense are you spouting!"
"Dad, what did I say wrong again? Think about it carefully, what good things has our family ever done in the past? We used to squeeze every toad we caught until it peed."
"You, you, you, shut up!" Fan Tong was so angry that he was trembling all over.
Fan Hun was unconvinced and stubbornly wanted to challenge her, but Madam Fan stopped him, saying, "Hun'er, say less. Look how angry you are at your father."
"Mom, look at my dad. Is he even reasonable anymore? He always tells me to tell him the truth, but now when I do, he glares at me. If this keeps up, I won't be able to speak anymore."
"Son, you can't blame your father for this. Some things should be said, and some things should be kept to yourself. Do you understand?"
Seeing that Fan Hun still wanted to say something, Madam Fan quickly waved her hand, "Good son, don't say anything, just listen."
Fan Tong took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger, and smiled awkwardly at Chen Qingqing, "Miss Chen, I was just anxious and scared, and I was talking nonsense. Please don't take it seriously."
Mrs. Fan nodded repeatedly, "That's right, Miss Chen, all you want us to do is do good deeds. We'll just do more good deeds, that's all. Our Fan family isn't short of money."
They committed one evil deed after another, and did the worst things imaginable.
At this moment, Chen Qingqing desperately wanted to avenge those innocent people, but she was powerless and could not act impulsively.
Since the government turns a blind eye to all the evil deeds Fan Tong has committed, it means he has already pulled strings and someone is definitely protecting him behind the scenes.
If you act impulsively, you will not only fail to help others, but you may also get yourself into trouble.
No, even if we can't do anything to such a wicked person now, we must teach him a lesson. When the opportunity arises in the future, we will definitely send him to where he belongs.
Chen Qingqing clenched her fists tightly and looked coldly at Fan Tong. "Since Master Fan is so kind and benevolent, then I will tell you how to do great good. You must set up a soup kitchen in a busy area and distribute soup or free food for ten days."
"What? Free porridge? And it'll take ten days!" Fan Tong shook his head in distress. "No way, no way! It'll cost at least thirty to fifty taels of silver a day. Ten days would be several hundred taels of silver! That's going to kill us!"
Madam Fan grimaced as she listened, "Yes, this act of charity is too expensive. My family's money doesn't grow on trees, why should we give porridge to those poor wretches!"
“Those poor wretches are brainless and deserve to starve. I’d rather feed them to pigs than give them to those lowly people.” Fan Tong showed absolutely no sympathy.
Chen Qingqing gave a cold laugh, "Since you are so greedy for money, then pretend I didn't say anything. You'd better watch yourselves."
Fan Tong sensed something was off about the tone and quickly put on a smiling face, "Miss Chen, please don't misunderstand. It's not that I'm unwilling to spend money, but my family is really not well-off right now. Could you please help me think of any other solutions?"
“Yes, yes, yes, we’ll do anything as long as it doesn’t cost us money,” Madam Fan interjected.
Seeing how greedy they were, Chen Qingqing felt extremely disgusted. She frowned, and an idea came to her mind. "If you don't want to do great good deeds, there's another way that doesn't cost money. It just depends on whether you have the guts."
"Yes, yes, yes! As long as it doesn't cost money, I'm willing to go through fire and water." Fan Tong nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Without the slightest hesitation, Mrs. Fan said, "Yes, Miss Chen, let's choose the one that doesn't cost any money. Tell us quickly!"
"Okay, I'll only say it once, so you'd better remember it."
Chen Qingqing cleared her throat and said with a serious expression, "This method that doesn't cost money is for your family of three to prepare some offerings and go to your Fan family's ancestral graves to sit and pray at midnight."
Remember, no matter what strange noises you hear during this period, you must not open your eyes. Guard this place for seven consecutive days without the slightest negligence. The slightest carelessness will result in being possessed by evil spirits, and afterwards, misfortune will befall you continuously.
Everyone present stared in shock upon hearing this, and Fan Hun was terrified, his brows furrowed and his mouth agape, almost bursting into tears...
