Father 010

Fang Mingshan didn't care about anything else, brushing off his clothes as he stood up. Fang Zhiyi! How dare you kick me?

Fang Zhiyi had already entered the house. Xiao Wu and another young man blocked their way, looking as if they would take on anyone who dared to pass.

Fang Zhiyi! You unfilial son! You even got people to block your own parents, huh?

Little beast! Come out here right now!

Hearing the clamor outside, Fang Qingci buried her head low, her body beginning to tremble slightly. Fang Zhiyi patted her shoulder. Sit up straight, it's bad for your eyes.

Uncle... they...

Don't worry about it, Fang Zhiyi said. Remember, you can't choose how you are born, but you can choose what kind of person you become. No matter what, you must learn to bear pressure and face it head-on.

A moment later, Xiao Wu ran in, his face covered in sweat. Not caring about anything else, he said, Brother Fang, this is bad. A lot of villagers have gathered outside, and that damn old... your mother is making a scene out there.

Fang Zhiyi stood up. Qingci, do you want to come out and take a look?

Fang Qingci did not move.

Fang Zhiyi did not force her; he simply walked out with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, Old Lady Fang was howling and wailing to the heavens.

Oh heavens, open your eyes and look! My son is unfilial! He kicked his younger brother down and blocked us from entering! Old Lady Fang sat heavily on the ground, slapping the dirt with both hands, her tears and snot running down her face.

Liu Wenxia stood to the side with her hands on her hips, shouting at the top of her lungs, Fang Zhiyi, you heartless thing! We came to see you out of the goodness of our hearts, and you let outsiders bully us honest folks!

The surrounding villagers formed a circle, whispering and discussing among themselves.

Seeing Fang Zhiyi come out, someone questioned him, Fang Zhiyi, earlier you just watched the show when Fang Mingshan and Liu Wenxia were fighting, and now you treat your parents like this. Isn't this going too far?

Exactly. I heard you did some business in town and made a bit of money, and now you look down on your own family?

Fang Zhiyi looked around, his gaze landing on a man smoking a cigarette and watching the drama.

Liu Fugui.

Hearing Fang Zhiyi call his name, Liu Fugui hesitated for a moment. What?

Fang Zhiyi nodded, turned, and said a few words to Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu immediately took out his phone and started dialing.

Liu Fugui looked bewildered, and the crowd was equally confused.

Less than a minute after Xiao Wu hung up, Liu Fugui's phone began to ring.

Hello, Boss Wang. Yes. Ah? Why? I've always been the one delivering the milk around here! Hello? Hello?

Fang Zhiyi ignored him. His gaze swept around again, locking onto the woman who had questioned him earlier. Once again, Xiao Wu made a call. A few minutes later, a sweating man hurried over, pushed his way through the crowd, and grabbed the woman. You stupid woman! Why aren't you staying at home instead of coming here to cause trouble?

Husband, what are you doing?

The man quickly turned to Fang Zhiyi, offering a fawning smile. Boss Fang, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't keep this foolish woman in line. It's all my fault. After saying that, he dragged the woman away.

How dare you mess with him? Who in town doesn't know about Fang Zhiyi now? You dare to provoke his methods? One phone call from him and I lose my job!

The previously noisy villagers all quieted down.

They realized that the quiet, constantly bullied Fang Zhiyi from their memories seemed to have changed.

Fang Zhiyi shifted to a new target. Li Laogou, you were pretty loud just now.

The villager called Li Laogou stiffened his neck. Fang Zhiyi! Don't think you can threaten me just because you have a bit of money! I am an honest farmer, and I'm not afraid of your threats! You are being unfilial today, and everyone has the right to call you out! Isn't that right, everyone?

Some agreed, while others stayed silent.

This time, without waiting for Fang Zhiyi's instructions, Xiao Wu directly picked up the phone. A short while later, a brightly colored motorcycle sped over. A young man with messily dyed hair hopped off in a panic and yelled at Li Laogou, Dad! Can you stop causing trouble for me?

Ah?

Let's go! Let's go! The young man dragged his father, constantly nodding and smiling apologetically toward Xiao Wu. Fifth Brother, my dad had too much to drink, I'm really sorry!

Now, whoever Fang Zhiyi looked at felt their heart skip a beat. Why hadn't they noticed before that this guy was so ruthless?

I have a project right now and I'm short on manpower. Those willing to work with me can go register with him later. We are all fellow villagers, so you can rest assured about the wages, Fang Zhiyi suddenly said, pointing to Xiao Wu beside him.

Hearing this, the villagers who had just been somewhat fearful began to stir with excitement.

Really?

Boss Fang, what do you think of me? I've got plenty of strength!

My youngest son still doesn't have a job...

This sudden shift in the wind left the Fang family completely dumbfounded.

Old Lady Fang tried to draw the villagers' attention back to herself, opening her mouth to wail again. There's no justice! An old woman is being bullied by her own son, and no one cares!

This shout was indeed effective, but the crowd only glanced at her briefly, having already weighed the situation in their minds.

Suddenly, a person squeezed out of the crowd and pointed at Old Lady Fang, scolding, Old woman, stop being so hypocritical! Didn't you beat and scold your son all day in the past? If you hadn't been so biased and given all the fields to your youngest son, Fang Zhiyi and his wife wouldn't have gone to work in the city, and his wife wouldn't have died!

Everyone looked over and saw Boss Wu, the wealthiest man in the village, looking righteous and impassioned.

Fellow villagers, we all know each other well. Could you possibly not know what kind of people Fang Mingshan's family are? I am their neighbor, and I know their family's affairs best!

Wu! What nonsense are you spouting! Liu Wenxia became anxious. Did you eat crap with that mouth of yours?

As she spoke, Fang Mingshan, who was standing to the side, spotted a familiar figure standing near the door. His eyes flashed, and he darted forward in two steps. Zhaodi! It's Dad! Dad came to see you!

Fang Qingci watched helplessly as Fang Mingshan approached, her entire body freezing up.

Fortunately, just as he was about to grab Fang Qingci, Fang Zhiyi kicked out once again. Fang Mingshan screamed and stumbled back several steps, almost knocking over Old Man Fang.

If you dare touch my daughter, I'll kill you, Fang Zhiyi said grimly, his gaze also sweeping over the overly attentive Boss Wu.

Boss Wu immediately froze in place. Thinking of the recent events his son had encountered, he seemed to understand something.

There's no justice! Old Lady Fang screamed.

Old Man Fang glared with wide eyes. Fang Zhiyi! You think your wings are fully grown now, don't you? Let me tell you, no matter how much money you make, you still have to show filial piety to us!
