Father Fang was worried when he saw blood on his son's forehead, but when he heard his son's questioning words the next moment, he became furious.
"I want to kill you?" Fang's father was furious, "If I want to kill you, why would I raise you to such a big age? I would have strangled you to death when you were born. I even went to the trouble of setting you up with the Lu family. If you don't seek death, this
You have endless money to spend in your life, and maybe you can still protect the Fang family, but what about you? But you were kicked out in just a few years..."
Fang Yuanlie's forehead hurt, and his heart was full of anger. Hearing the words that he was kicked out of the Lu family again, he became even more angry. He blurted out impulsively, "Don't think I don't know why you sent me to the Lu family.
Becoming a son-in-law? Don’t you just want to leave the Fang family to your eldest brother? He is your son, am I not? Seeing that I haven’t had a child in the Lu family for several years, you actually want your eldest brother’s concubine to be my heir?
As a father, don’t you think it’s too partial to give the Lu family’s fortune to your eldest brother?”
There must be some partiality, but Father Fang admits that he has not treated his younger son badly, "Do you think it is so easy to get along with the Lu family? If I hadn't planned so hard, would Lu Wanniang know who you are?"
The person who was sent there has just been returned. No matter how rich the Lu family is, it has nothing to do with the Fang family.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuanlie, who had been decadent for nearly a year, suddenly became worried about his future, "Dad, I'm going to help in the shop."
Father Fang didn't expect that his son's thoughts would jump so quickly and he suddenly talked about this. However, he couldn't be so decadent all the time. He nodded and said, "Go ahead and follow your brother."
Fang Yuanlie felt slightly relieved.
The father and son had a quarrel, and when they saw the injury on Fang Yuanlie's forehead, blood and ink had flowed all over his face. Fang's father sighed and said in a loud voice, "Call a doctor."
The door was pushed open from the outside, and a woman in a scarlet dress walked in with a pink face and asked, "Dad, second brother, can you explain to me what is going on with the outer chamber you just mentioned?
?”
Isn’t that what the outer chamber is all about?
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Fang family returned to her parents' home with her dowry and children.
And she said that she wanted to reconcile!
When people from Lancheng mentioned the Fang family, their first reaction was the ex-husband of the Lu family girl. Now that they heard that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fang family was going home, everyone started talking and became curious.
I also heard that Mr. Fang had raised an outhouse and an outhouse. This incident was exposed, which made his wife go back to her parents' home in anger.
When something like this happens, it seems that he really doesn’t want to live his life anymore.
Originally, a normal woman would be angry if she knew that a man still had a family, but she still had to live her life. People say that family scandals should not be made public. She would quietly bring the person in, or send the person away. That would be settled.
Mrs. Fang, however, immediately made a fuss, either out of anger or because she really wanted to make peace.
There are not many women and women nowadays, but it is not impossible.
Mrs. Fang did what she said. Within a few days, she had already asked the elders of the family to visit Fang's house, and then got the letter of divorce.
To outsiders, it was just a joke and something to talk about after dinner. But for the current Fang family, it was just adding insult to injury.
This starts with the history of the Fang family!
The Fang family was originally an ordinary merchant. They lived in a small grain store for generations. They were not particularly wealthy and could only make ends meet. When Fang Yuanwei married, he chose the eldest daughter of the owner of Dafu Restaurant in the city, so Dafu
Everything that the restaurant can buy from the Fang family will be delivered by the Fang family.
The Fang family, which used to be able to sell only a few hundred to a thousand kilograms of grain a month, suddenly more than doubled the amount, and even had expensive seasonings that they didn't dare to buy before. Now they can deliver them to Dafu Restaurant, and their profits have doubled several times.
Later, the second son Fang Yuanlie married into the Lu family. There was another source of goods to provide. After that, even if the Fang family did not open a shop and only delivered goods to these two companies, they could still live a very comfortable life. What's more, because of the
There are many people of all ages who have placed orders for me.
With the Lu family here, the Fang family's grain store instantly became a major grain store in Lan City, and many people knew their family's name.
Later, Fang Yuanlie got a divorce letter and angered the Lu family. The profits of the Fang family shop suddenly shrank by more than half. However, there was also Dafu Restaurant. Although the profits were less, they could still survive.
Now that they have reconciled and divorced, Dafu Restaurant found someone else in an instant. The stable business that had been there for many years was gone. Because the Lu Family and Dafu Restaurant changed people, many people who had placed orders at Fangjia Grain Store for a long time also changed people... Fangjia
Now I can only rely on that small shop to sell some scattered goods, which is like returning to its original shape.
The Fang family has not been to the Lu family recently because they are anxious to win back Mrs. Fang, but they have not been able to see anyone after several visits.
The person they wanted to see was sitting opposite Chu Yunli.
Mrs. Zhou was wearing a rose-red dress, her eyebrows were a little haggard, "I didn't expect you would still want to see me."
The child was asleep now, and Chu Yunli was just bored. Besides, she was quite willing to hear about the Fang family's misfortune.
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly, "If you were still Mrs. Fang, I would definitely not see you."
Mrs. Zhou smiled bitterly, "I'm here today to tell you that the Fang family is not well-intentioned. I overheard that they once wanted to give their concubine to you as their heir. However, the Lu Fang family has nothing to do with it now. No matter how much they have,
Planning is in vain."
"Don't be soft-hearted!"
The last sentence is probably her purpose!
Chu Yunli will not be soft-hearted. If someone wants to kill Fang Yuanlie, she is willing to hand him a knife. Speaking of which, she is also afraid that Zhou will be soft-hearted.
"How is the second young master doing lately?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou looked at her suspiciously, "Now there is the widow and the top man in his yard. They argue like black-eyed chickens every day, and they quarrel from time to time. You don't still miss him, do you?"
Chu Yunli shook his head, "I'm just curious."
Seeing that she was in high spirits, Mrs. Zhou didn't think she was still thinking about her. She sighed, "It would be strange if the two brothers of the Fang family don't fight over that shop. If the second brother doesn't fight, his two women are not good at each other. Sooner or later they will fight."
stand up."
The two were chatting, and Zhou came to the door. It seemed that nothing happened. In other words, she came here specifically to see how Lu Wanniang, who once deeply loved Fang Yuanlie, was doing after she left him.
The face of Lu Wanniang in front of her was rosy, and she was no longer as cautious as before. Her figure was plumper, and just by looking at her complexion, it was clear that she was doing well.
The two only talked for a quarter of an hour before Liu Shao came and said with a smile, "Wan Niang, the child is awake."
Chu Yunli smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I have to go see the child. The garden is very beautiful. If you are interested, you can go around."
Ms. Zhou, who stayed in the house, watched the two of them walk away hand in hand. The man lowered his head and whispered a few words in the woman's ear with a smile, causing the woman to glare at him. The two looked at each other and smiled. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, just like a pair.
Beautiful picture.
Such a situation is pleasing to the eye.
Dafu Restaurant never relented and was determined not to purchase goods from the Fang family. The Fang family and his son gathered their thoughts and concentrated on saving the restaurant underneath.
If you want to continue doing business, it's actually easy. You just need to lower the price. For the sake of the low price, you can always save some money.
The Fang family's tactics also attracted some shops that had not originally placed orders with the Fang family. In this way, they were considered to have offended the public among the grain shops, causing various shops to boycott.
One night in autumn, the Fang family's grain warehouse caught fire. It was a dry autumn day, and the fire started with the wind. The people who put out the fire did not dare to get close. By daybreak, the warehouse and the goods inside were all burned to the ground.
There was a ruins.
A lot of the food in the Fang family's granary was borrowed on credit from farmers based on their reputation over the years. Dafu Restaurant and Lu Family were originally here, and they could pay back the goods immediately after taking the payment. However, because Dafu Restaurant recently refused the Fang Family
The grain in the warehouse was full and could not be sold. Now that it was burned down, the farmers would naturally not be able to pay it back.
The banker had worked hard for a year but could not earn much. When he learned that the Fang family was on fire, he was afraid that he would not receive the money. He asked tentatively, but he did not give the money and only said that he would postpone it... Where everyone was willing to comply, a group of people ran to
They asked for debts at the door of Fang's house and blocked the shop and the front and back doors of Fang's house. They were not allowed to pay until they gave money!
Fang's father had no choice but to find his two sons to discuss the matter.
"For the current plan, we can only pay back their money first!"
Fang Yuanwei hadn't slept for several days and looked bad, "But where can we get money?"
Fang Yuanlie sat aside and said nothing. He was new to doing business and had just understood the ledger. He had no idea what to do now.
"Sell the shop. Our shop is in a good location. After selling it, we should be able to pay them back, and then... let's talk." After the words fell, Father Fang looked more than ten years older.
That shop was passed down from the ancestors of the Fang family. He had ambitions to grow bigger, and he succeeded, but who knew it would collapse overnight. Selling the family property is something only a prodigal would do.
Father Fang has been working hard for most of his life, but he never expected that he would end up like this.
Selling a shop?
When the two brothers heard this, they looked at each other, and they could see disapproval in each other's eyes. Fang Yuanlie frowned, "Dad, is there any other way? The shop is the ancestral property of our Fang family, and it is also the foundation. As long as the shop is here, we are not afraid of making money."
Without money, if the shop really disappears, how will our family make a living?"
Let's put it this way, the Fang family can live without the Lu family's supply of goods, and they can survive without the business of Dafu Restaurant. If they sell the shop, it will be equivalent to killing the chicken that laid the eggs!
"Yes!" Fang Yuanwei said worriedly, "Dad, if the shop disappears, what do you want me and my second brother to do? Do you want us to be the shopkeepers?"
