This Is Not the End of the World 04

"Are you trying to extort us?" Fang's Mother understood what was happening and immediately jumped up.

Despite her old age, the extorting old lady had a very sharp tongue: "Ouch! You hit someone and won't pay, and now you're slandering us for extortion!"

With her hands on her hips, the old lady continued to curse at the top of her lungs, "Your family is truly rich and heartless! My old bones were battered and bruised by your boy, and I'm in agonizing pain. Yet, you just want to wash your hands of it and walk away!" As she spoke, she exaggeratedly rubbed her waist, her face full of a pained expression.

"How am I supposed to live from now on! Are you really so cruel as to just ignore me? If you don't pay my medical bills today, I'm going to stay at your house and never leave!" With that, the old lady plopped her bottom onto the ground and started to throw a massive tantrum, rolling around and muttering incessantly, "There is no justice! Hitting someone and not taking responsibility!"

Her son stood to the side with his arms crossed, watching coldly.

The commotion quickly attracted the neighbors, who gathered around to watch.

Fang's Mother was so angry that her face turned bright red, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment. When she turned her head and found that the culprit had somehow grabbed a handful of melon seeds and was leisurely cracking them on the side, she nearly died of anger.

"Fang Zhiyi! You caused this mess yourself! Don't come back until you've solved it!!!"

Fang Zhiyi looked shocked. "Mom, are you just going to abandon me?"

The neighbors began to whisper among themselves.

Seeing this, Fang Jianshu felt his head throb. "Fang Zhiyi, you're almost an adult. Can you give your mother and me a break? Stop causing trouble outside every single day! First, you ruined your younger brother's reputation, and now you're carelessly helping strangers up! Are you happy now that you've caused a scene?"

Fang Zhiyi felt a little wronged. "I don't think my brother's reputation needs me to ruin it..."

"You..."

"Besides, of course you have to help an old person when you see them fall! This is the conscience of a good youth in the new era! Dad, didn't you always teach me to respect the old and care for the young? Did I do something wrong?"

Fang Jianshu was choked up and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"You guys have run into extortionists," a neighbor who couldn't stand watching said.

The old woman immediately turned her guns and started cursing at the neighbor. Seeing that this mother and son were dead set on extorting money, the neighbors all shut their mouths.

The noise made Fang Jianshu's temples throb. He suddenly shouted angrily, "He's the one who helped you! If you have any problems, go to him!"

Fang Zhiyi turned his head and met the old woman's eyes, making a gesture of pulling out his empty pockets. The old woman understood implicitly; this kid obviously had no money. Since she was out to extort money, she naturally couldn't waste time pestering someone who was broke.

She slapped her legs and began to wail.

Fang Chengci was woken up by the noise. He walked out of his room with a dark expression. "What's all this noise..." Suddenly, he saw Fang Zhiyi, and his face instantly felt burning hot. It was all because of him!

Fang Zhiyi also saw him and playfully winked at him, looking exactly like a big brother leading his younger brother to do bad things.

However, this expression instantly provoked Fang Chengci. He shouted and rushed forward, completely ignoring why there were so many people around. "Fang Zhiyi! I'm not done with you..."

The moment he pounced, Fang Zhiyi took a large step back, saying, "Little brother, listen to my explanation..." He reached out as if afraid Fang Chengci would fall and wanted to catch him, but Fang Chengci only felt himself being yanked hard.

Right after, he crashed heavily onto the old woman.

The scene fell into silence.

Then, a man's scream rang out: "Mom!!!!"

Fang Jianshu glared at Fang Zhiyi with eyes full of anger. He didn't know what had just happened, but it definitely had something to do with this rebellious son!

Fang Zhiyi also put on a terrified look. "I was wrong, Dad! I was wrong!" He slipped right through the crowd gathered at the door and ran downstairs in a flash, leaving the Fang family at home to face the difficult mother and son.

When the people at the police station saw Fang Jianshu again, they were a bit surprised. Hadn't they just resolved a case not long ago? This...

Well, they had caused trouble again.

But since the person involved had fled the house in fear, they could only ask both sides about the incident. From the questioning, it was clear that the mother and son were extortionists. However, because there were no security cameras, it was hard to prove. The most critical point was that Fang Chengci, who weighed nearly two hundred pounds, had thrown himself onto the old woman, almost claiming her old life.

As for Fang Chengci claiming that Fang Zhiyi had pulled him, everyone else, including the old woman's son, said that it never happened.

The matter of hitting someone was temporarily set aside; the key now was to see how the old woman was doing.

It was a familiar place and a familiar process.

Fang Jianshu once again took out money to settle the matter. By this time, he was furious and only wanted to hurry home and teach Fang Zhiyi a lesson!

However, when the exhausted family of three returned home, the front door was wide open, and people were carrying things out from inside. Fang Jianshu looked at them in confusion. The next moment, his eyes widened. Wasn't that his family's TV?

He stepped forward to stop them. The leader spoke very politely: "It's like this, your son said that your family no longer wants the refrigerator, color TV, and washing machine, and asked us to come and collect them. Look..."

"Bullshit! When did we ever say we didn't want them!" Fang Chengci opened his mouth and cursed.

The leader's face darkened. "That's exactly what your son said, no mistake."

Seeing that the other party had many people, Fang Jianshu could only suppress his anger. "We aren't selling our furniture!"

The man heavily placed the item in his hand onto the ground. "You're the ones who said you were selling, and now you're saying you're not! I already paid the deposit!"

"Deposit?"

"Yes!" The man's expression was very ugly.

Fang Jianshu understood; this was definitely Fang Zhiyi's doing. But there was nothing he could do now. He could only take out money again to send the men away. Looking at the mess in the house, a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.

How did that child Fang Zhiyi turn out like this? Hasn't he always been very obedient?

Only Fang Chengci clamored to call the police, and Fang's Mother agreed. The result was that the police station sent people over for the third time. Upon seeing that it was them again, the police officers' expressions changed.

"Seriously, is there no end with your family? Do you know you are wasting public resources?"

After a round of reprimands, they still had to find the person, and they found Fang Zhiyi.

After a simple inquiry, they learned that Fang Zhiyi, out of fear of having to pay compensation, had thought of selling things to scrape together some money.

"My dad always says our family has no money... I... I didn't know doing a good deed would end up like this..." Fang Zhiyi rubbed his hands nervously.

Anyone with discerning eyes could understand at a glance. The child before them was wearing old clothes and was much thinner compared to the other child. This was obviously the result of this family's favoritism.

Therefore, they merely counseled Fang Zhiyi with a few simple words and prepared to leave.

Fang Chengci cursed unwillingly, "Is this how you do things? Aren't you going to arrest him?"

Fortunately, Fang Jianshu reacted quickly and covered his mouth; otherwise, he would have definitely received another scolding.
