Chapter 155: Making trouble
As soon as Mr. Fang left, the atmosphere in the yard suddenly became much calmer.
Fang Tong walked to the kitchen and knocked on the door: "Open the door, the person has left."
When he turned around, his daughter was pushing her brother in, and Qian Fengping came over to take the baskets from their hands.
"Is everything okay, second brother? Don't miss your next visit. Eh? Is this... a gift for the academy?"
She lifted the red cloth and saw the thing, and then she understood.
As a former scholar's wife, she naturally knew what the six rituals were. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Did they buy it but not give it away?
The academy refuses to accept you?
She glanced at her son, her expression became cautious, and then looked at Fang Tong.
Fang Tong wanted to tease her, so he sighed, "Well... forget it, let my son tell you himself. I'll go check on the kitchen."
Fang Nanzhi also wanted to tell her about going to the academy, but she was more worried about her second uncle, so she went to find her father.
Qin Yan was helpless and naturally didn't want to disappoint her mother for too long: "Mom, Uncle Fang is teasing you. He took me to Songhe Academy. Dean Zheng not only accepted me, but also accepted my sister as a disciple..."
"real?!"
Qian Fengping was so surprised that her voice trembled. She couldn't help but confirm again: "Can I go to the academy to study?!"
Qin Yan nodded and told her roughly what happened today.
In the kitchen, Fang Nanzhi was tugging at her father's sleeve: "Dad, how long will it take for Second Uncle to come back?"
Fang Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your second uncle just left."
The little girl pouted her lips, which made the people working nearby feel soft-hearted. They wanted to come over and hug her, but they couldn't stop what they were doing.
"But they treat Second Uncle badly and don't give him food."
Her feelings for Fang Yin are friendship superimposed on family affection. She can't let it go when she thinks that he might be bullied.
Fang Tong looked around and used some leftover cake ingredients to coax his daughter: "Dad is a man of his words. He will definitely be back in a few days."
The scraps were just accidentally broken and left over to make the goods look good. It didn't affect the eating process at all. Fang Nanzhi nodded while holding the bowl. She still believed in her father.
But if the Fang family dares to bully Second Uncle... Humph!
She wanted to share the cake with her brother, but just as she stepped out of the door, she stepped back.
Qian Niang was leaning over and hugging Qin Yan's shoulders, wiping her tears with her hands.
She reached out and tugged at her father: "Dad, auntie is crying."
Fang Tong narrowed his eyes and also poked his head out from the kitchen. He knew that Qian Niang was crying with joy.
"Ahem!" He cleared his throat and walked out. "Look, I was teasing your mother, but you made her cry?"
Qian Fengping then remembered that he had just been trying to scare her by being mysterious. She stood up and punched him on the arm, neither lightly nor heavily.
"I went to cook!"
Fang Tong was pretending to be playful just now, but when Qian Niang glanced at him with a mixture of anger and smile before she turned around, he raised his hand and scratched his cheek.
This lunch was a lively one at home.
It’s a double blessing in the family, such a great event.
Qian Fengping had originally brought the meat back from the provincial capital, and in order to add some meat flavor to the dishes, she stewed it all and also fried a few eggs.
Fang Tong recounted Qin Yan's stories about the academy in bits and pieces at the table. Qian Niang loved to hear them and could not get enough of them. Everyone was laughing during the meal.
After dinner, Fang Tong went to the backyard and opened the warehouse door.
The chestnuts piled up half of the warehouse. There were not enough bags at home, so many of them had to be packed in baskets.
Erwa said that all the chestnuts picked by the villagers are here with him, and these are almost all they have. Even if each family has not sold all of them, there are probably not many left.
He walked around the library and checked the chestnuts. Qian Niang had looked at all of them. She was very thoughtful and there was nothing wrong with what she collected.
After confirming this, Fang Tong felt more confident. With these, did the elder brother and the others still want to fight with him?
Only then did he slowly go out to see the wasteland that was to be reclaimed.
Behind him, Fang Nanzhi poked his little head out from the door.
Where did her father go? Why didn't he say a word when he left?
"Auntie, I'm going out to play!"
Qin Yan heard the noise in the house, but before he could come out to stop it, he wanted to keep her at home to learn calligraphy, but there was no one in the yard.
Fang Tong went down to the field and found that there was no one there. He knew that without anyone watching, the two little bastards from the Fang family would not be able to work honestly here.
I don’t know how many days it has been since I last came here, but the land hasn’t been turned over yet!
He stood in the field with his hands on his hips for a while, then turned and walked in the other direction.
Only then did Fang Nanzhi secretly follow from behind the tree.
That’s not right. Her father doesn’t look like he wants to go home. Is he going to cause trouble?
Fang Tong walked for a while, but before reaching his destination, he suddenly stopped and sighed.
This girl!
He turned around and looked at the haystack not far away: "Come out!"
Fang Nanzhi secretly stuck out his tongue and poked his head out with a smile: "Dad~"
Fang Tong was speechless, but that was just the way his daughter was, she was too smart and clever, he was used to it.
If I let her go home, she will definitely follow me secretly, so it would be better to take her away with me.
He winked, and Fang Nanzhi ran to her father, who touched her head. "Wait a minute, let's go to the Fang family and follow your father's instructions."
The little girl also gave her father a look in return: It’s not the first day we cooperate, let’s make the arrangements!
Fang Tong brought his daughter and fought his way to Fang's house. He started performing as soon as he stood at the gate.
"Fang Qingtian! Fang Zetian! You two are sneaky little bastards! You're incompetent at everything and never get enough to eat!"
He had only shouted twice when He rushed out angrily: "Third brother! What are you doing! What are you yelling about!"
"Don't you know what I'm shouting? Look at what's happened to my land!"
He was shouting at the top of his voice, and the neighbors around could hear it clearly. When they heard what He was doing, they all came out to watch. The Zhou family next door heard it the most clearly. Even Old Man Zhou came out and stood in the yard, listening to the noise.
He spat in her heart at these people who were just watching the fun and making trouble. She felt even more ashamed and shouted, "Bah! What does your land have to do with my son? Get lost! How can you be such a good uncle? You let your nephew work as a farmhand and not even give him a bite to eat!"
Fang Nanzhi also put her hands on her hips and retorted, "Aunt, farmhands work from morning till night, and my two brothers fish for three days and rest for two days, but my father doesn't mind it. But it's almost winter, and the land hasn't been plowed yet. It's too much."
He choked and glared at her hatefully. She pretended to be scared and hid behind her father.
Fang Tong came prepared, how could he not win an argument with her?
"Sister-in-law, we agreed at the beginning that my nephews would open up wasteland for me. It was a deal. Are you turning your back on us?"
He's heart skipped a beat, and she remembered what happened to the disaster victims, thinking that Fang Tong was bringing up the old matter again.
However, the family members later found out that none of the victims survived and all were beheaded. Only the leader was sent to the capital by the government.
The person is gone, how can he say this? There is no evidence, no one will believe him no matter how much he says!
After thinking about it this way, she made up her mind not to admit it and to shirk responsibility!
"Who made an agreement with you? I made my two sons work for you for no reason? They went there for a few days to show their filial piety to you. You can't push your luck. What's the matter? There's no work to do at home. I'm telling you, don't even think about bullying my sons again!"
