The four to five li journey was still completed.
"Why did you only come back at this time? Don't you know that there's a lot of work at home? If you want to tire an old man like me to death, just say it. Black-hearted, do you know how to enjoy it?”
Luo Shi was standing in the courtyard. When he saw Fang Yu return and Yang Shi sitting in the car, he was furious.
No one paid any attention to Luo Shi.
Fang Yu stopped the car. Madam Yang carried Xin 'er and the children supported Madam Yang. They went straight back to the west wing without even looking at Madam Luo.
Luo was so angry that he fell back.
" Where did he get his body from? He's already sick after going to town. He's like an adult and has children. Look at all of them…" Luo Shi was cursing when he saw Fang Yu put down the cart and walk over.
"Your big brother came back early. Tell your wife to hurry up and cook. She should have had enough after shopping for a day.”Luo said to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu stood in front of Luo Shi with a gloomy face and did not speak.
Luo Shi's heart skipped a beat.
She knew the temperaments of her sons. Fang Yu had been smiling since he was young and had the most gentle temper.
This was the first time such a gloomy expression appeared on Fang Yu's face.
"Fourth Bro, what's wrong with you?”
At this moment, Fang De, Fang Yan 'er, and Fang Jiao' er's voices and laughter could be heard from the upper room.
Fang Yu felt a sharp stab in his heart.
"I want to talk to Big Brother." Fang Yu directly rushed into the upper room.
Luo Shi was about to scold out of habit, but he felt that the situation was not right and hurriedly followed him into the house.
In the west wing room, Fang Yun helped Madam Yang lie down on the brick bed.
He saw Fang Yu enter the room and wanted to follow him immediately. He wanted to seek justice for Xiner.
However, on second thought, Fang Yu was the man of the family and the pillar of support. He had the obligation to protect his wife and underage children.
Fang Yu and Madam Yang were so dispirited. Not only did they feel sorry for their daughter, but they also realized that they had been fooled and betrayed by their family.
It was time for Fang Yu and Madam Yang to face the Fang family's abnormal family relationship, as well as the humiliation and betrayal from their loved ones.
"Mother, drink some water." Fang Yun poured a bowl of water and handed it to Madam Yang.
He wanted Madam Yang to moisten her throat so that she wouldn't be unable to say anything later.
Madam Yang took the water and took a sip. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Fang De's excited voice coming from the upper room.
"Fourth Bro, where did you hear that rumor?”
Fang De would not admit to doing such a thing. This was something Fang Yun had long expected.
However, he had no choice but to admit it now. He was afraid that before tomorrow, his "glorious deeds" would spread throughout the surrounding villages.
He just didn't know how Old Master Fang and Luo Shi would handle this matter. If they shielded Fang De, would Fang Yu, who was usually such a bun, be able to handle this matter well?
He could not give in on this matter. Otherwise, who knew what would happen in the future.
He still had to follow them to be at ease.
"Mother, I'm afraid that Father will be at a disadvantage if he's alone…Mother, you and Father have to help Xin-er with this matter.”Fang Yun said.
"Little Seven, let's go to the upper room. Mother will go all out this time and definitely get an explanation for your sister.”Madam Yang came down from the kang and straightened her back.
She had cried enough and thought it through.
Ever since she married into the Fang family, she had followed the boudoir's teachings of being filial to the elders and loving to the younger generation. She would rather suffer for herself to satisfy her in-laws, sisters-in-law, brother, and sisters-in-law.
For the sake of the family's peace, she silently fell to the ground and suffered many tears. Only she knew how much grievance she had endured.
But what did she get in return for compromising like this?
She treated him as a relative and an elder, but he treated her as a fool who could be easily bullied and used her daughter's life to exchange for his wealth.
Even if it wasn't for himself, he had to seek justice for his daughter.
Madam Yang pulled Xiner, Xiner pulled Fang Yun, Fang Yun pulled Fang Ru, Fang Ru pulled Fang Ping. The mother and son walked up to the room with their chests puffed out.
In the upper room, Old Master Fang, Luo Shi, and Fang De sat on the kang. Beside them was a pile of ruler tips of various colors. Fang Jiao 'er, Qian Shi, Fang Yan' er, and Fang Mei 'er sat around the ruler tips.
Seeing Madam Yang enter, Luo immediately spat.
"Fourth Bro, what did you just say? Did your wife instigate you to do something? I was wondering why she insisted on going to town today. She didn't have good intentions.”
Luo Shi shouted," Prodigal daughter-in-law, I knew she didn't hold back any good sh * t.”
"Keep your voices down. Are you afraid that people can't hear you?”Old Master Fang said in a low voice.
"This has nothing to do with his mother. I heard those words with my own ears.”
Fang Yu sat on the bench and looked at Fang De with bloodshot eyes." Big Brother, you don't admit it. Then let me ask you, isn't that the Lu Hechuan family? In Yongning County, there was a second Lu Hechuan who married He Jinkang's sister, and there was a youngest son who was about to marry a wife?”
Fang Yu was so excited that his voice was trembling." Big Brother, we're from the same mother. Tell me with your conscience, did you discuss with someone that you wanted Xiner to be buried with someone just for that few hundred taels of silver?!”
Fang Yu, Madam Yang, and Fang Yun's children all looked at Fang De.
Fang De's eyes flickered as he subconsciously moved closer to Old Master Fang and Luo Shi.
"That's not true. How could I harm my niece? Who do you think I am?”
Fang Yun keenly sensed that Fang De was feeling guilty.
"His uncle, you are the biological brother of the child's father. We respect you and believe in you. When you and sister-in-law came back from outside, you said that you wanted to send Xiner to Yongning County to be a child bride. I felt that I didn't know anything. At that time, you said that Xiner was your biological niece and that you couldn't harm her. His father and I believed him. We are not fools. We know that you are waiting to use that money to seek a good future. This has been a sore spot for Father and Mother all these years. I couldn't bear to part with my daughter, so I hardened my heart and nodded.”
Madam Yang pointed at Fang De and Madam Qian and said," But, you shouldn't have sent my daughter to her death…"
When Madam Yang said this, she could not help but cry again.
Mrs. Qian sat on the edge of the Kang, her face red and white." Fourth daughter-in-law, this is not true. Don't believe it just because of rumors."”
"Sister-in-law, you're also a mother and have two daughters. You're cutting my flesh with a knife.”
Madam Yang said," What did his father and I do to you that you have to harm me like this?" Even enemies would not be so ruthless.”
"Big brother, feel your conscience and say something to me.”Fang Yu insisted.
Fang Yu had a very gentle personality, but like most honest people, once he set his mind on something and became serious, he was the hardest to fool.
