Chapter 412 Bringing People
He Shi still understood his temper to some extent. Seeing him like this, she didn't bother to prepare for the conversation and smiled awkwardly: "Third brother, our parents..."
Seeing Fang Tong's expression was not right, she changed her words in time: "No, my parents have moved to the capital. They are old and they are unfamiliar with the place. How can we help them without anyone to take care of them?"
"I just thought, I'll go and take a look, so I can fulfill my filial duty."
He said this nicely. Is she showing filial piety to the Fang family elders, or is she thinking about the house and the man?
Fang Tong looked down on his former sister-in-law and thought she was a coward.
He used all his strength to bully him and his second brother, and acted like a brainless person to Fang Jin.
Even though his wife was demoted to a concubine, he still couldn't let go of Fang Jin.
Although he thought so, Fang Tong didn't say it out loud: "When did your uncle and aunt come to the capital? Why didn't you go with them?"
I have to ask him for help.
This question was asked because, of course, the old couple was not willing to take He with them.
The two of them went to the county town and hired an ox cart. He had no money on her, so she had the audacity to stop the cart.
"That's right. My parents were worried that I would be tired, so they asked me to take a rest." He's face flushed and she tried to flatter herself.
"Puchi!" Fang Tong laughed out loud. "Well, cousin, at least find a reliable excuse to let you stay and watch over the land."
Let her rest? Do the old couple of the Fang family really care about their daughter-in-law?
He was exposed and felt a little embarrassed: "It's almost the same, Third Brother, you see, we are really relatives..."
She really wanted to go to the provincial capital.
Her two sons also gave her advice, saying that Fang Jin couldn't really fall in love with Wang Fujiao.
She and Fang Jin had been married for many years, and it wasn't like they didn't have any feelings for each other. This whole mess had happened because of the cheating in the provincial exam, and Fang Jin was taking his anger out on her.
The anger was only temporary. Once she arrived in the provincial capital, her gentle and considerate service, compared with Wang Fujiao's rude and domineering behavior, would surely win back the man's heart.
Fang Tong pondered for a moment and his eyes fell on her basket of wild vegetables.
He was delighted, but secretly cursed the third brother for being so short-sighted. However, she put on a generous expression and put the bamboo basket on the cart.
"I remember the Fang family still has a few little hens, and their meat is at its tenderest..." Even though Fang Tong was adopted, he still knew the Fang family's chicken coop like the back of his hand.
He couldn't help but feel distressed, as a chicken could be sold for seventy or eighty cents.
"Can't bear to leave? Then I'll leave!" Fang Tong flicked the whip and was about to drive the car.
He subconsciously groaned a few times, stopped himself, and gritted his teeth: "Okay!"
Seventy or eighty cents was enough to hire a car to the county. But she was a decent woman, not bad looking, so what would she do if she met a bad guy?
And if she goes to sell chickens, she will definitely be scolded when she comes back.
Give the chicken to Fang Tong and say that he stole it. No matter how angry her father-in-law is, he can't blame her.
Fang Tong then let her get in the car, and the two of them turned and went to Fang's house.
Fang Tong caught three hens in one go, tied their legs and put them in the car.
He was heartbroken: "Third brother, you can't eat so much, right? Eating too much chicken will make you get a sore throat."
"It's okay. I'll drink more water if I have a sore throat." Fang Tong responded, then moved a stool from the back of the car and placed it on the ground.
When Mrs. He saw this, she felt a little relieved. The third brother was quite considerate.
Unexpectedly, Fang Tong stepped on the stool and entered the carriage by himself.
He sat down, pulled back the curtain, and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Put away the stool and drive the carriage!"
He was stunned. She brought a basket of wild vegetables and three hens, but in the end she still had to drive the cart herself?
"Third brother, I am your cousin after all!"
She couldn't help but burst out.
You are not a man anymore!
Unexpectedly, Fang Tong was more righteous than her.
"So what? You married into the Fang family, and I married into the Qin family. We're both married, so why should I take care of you?"
"Besides, men and women shouldn't touch each other. I'm driving a carriage outside, and my cousin's wife is hiding inside. Outsiders will think something is going on. But it's different when you're driving a carriage. Who would want to have a man sitting inside?"
He is serious, but actually he is stingy.
Qian Niang had decorated the carriage. There was a small stove for drinking tea, and there were cakes, candied fruits and other things under the table.
It feels so comfortable to sit inside.
Why should He be allowed to sit inside and eat and drink in comfort while he is driving the car outside and getting cold?
He didn't know this and was almost convinced by his twisted logic.
Finally, she sighed and admitted defeat: "I can drive the car, Third Brother, do you know where your eldest brother's house is?"
She had never been to the house in the capital city and didn't know the way.
"Don't worry, I'll visit you often." Fang Tong vowed.
He was completely relieved. At least she didn't have to ask for the place. She sat on the edge of the car and drove out of the village.
When it comes to driving a car, she has been doing it since elementary school.
Her father was a scholar and used to teach in a college, so he had to ride in an ox cart to go back and forth.
But the family couldn't afford a servant, so her stepmother asked her to drive the car to pick up her father.
Fang Tongtan sat in the carriage, drinking hot tea and eating dried apricots. He felt really good.
He also took out a board from under the car seat and set it up so that Zhizhi's legs could be stretched out, making it convenient for her to sleep in the car.
He rested for a while and chatted with He through the curtain.
"Cousin, if you ask me, you can't be nice to Fang Jin when you go there this time."
"You've already given birth to two sons for the Fang family, making you a great contributor, but he's still pushing you around like that. He's just spoiling you!"
"If you ask me, your biggest enemy is either Wang Fujiao or Fang Jin!"
"Don't look at Wang Fujiao as overbearing, but she is easy to please and very satisfying. As long as you unite with her, she will never embarrass you."
At first, He listened to it in one ear and out the other, but after hearing the last two sentences, he couldn't help but take it seriously.
This is not entirely without reason.
When Wang Fujiao first came into the house, he promised her that he would provide her with a maid to serve her, and he really did it.
The maidservant that was given to her along with the indenture was the one that Old Madam Fang had snatched away from her.
In comparison, Wang Fujiao is pretty good.
"You should get along well with Wang Fujiao, and then use her power to polish Fang Jin. That's the right way."
Fang Tong said a lot of things, but in fact he just wanted to cause more trouble for Fang Jin.
Did he really think he was willing to give He a ride because he was attracted by wild vegetables and eggs? Was he the kind of person who needed those things now?
The main reason is that now that the old couple from the Fang family have moved to the provincial capital, it would be strange if they didn't cause some trouble.
If He family were to mess up the city again, Fang Jin's life would be in chaos.
I definitely don't have time to think about studying or taking the imperial examinations.
He had inquired and found out that Fang Jin seemed to have become a disciple of some prestigious teacher and was studying under him.
Even though Fang Jin was a loser, what if Mr. Yi could carve out a rotten tree? He couldn't let Fang Jin have a chance to turn things around.
"Third brother, you don't understand. Since ancient times, how can there be harmony between wives and concubines? Even if you don't fight for yourself, you have to fight for your children." He couldn't help but speak.
This is the truth. She has been holding it in for a long time and has no place to vent.
I never expected that I would chat with Fang Tong today.
Fang Tong understood it immediately. To put it bluntly, he was still thinking about the shop, house and money.
