Chapter 486: Chapter 486
Fang Peizhong didn’t want to come either, but he had no choice.
He and Liu Hongmei brought the children back to the city, and although it was Fang Zhiyuan who went to great lengths, pulling a lot of strings to make it happen for him.
But Fang Zhiyuan now is not what he used to be.
After many people were rehabilitated, Fang Zhiyuan was gradually replaced by newcomers in his position.
Old Sir Fang never protected them anyway.
Others noticed that the Fang family didn’t care about this son at all, and many people have the knack of treating people accordingly.
The most direct and obvious sign is that despite Fang Peizhong and Liu Hongmei having been back for so long, the neighborhood committee hasn’t arranged official jobs for them at all.
Of course, they arranged temporary jobs for them, sending them to the meat packing plant to work for the slaughterhouse.
Fang Peizhong was supposed to slaughter pigs, and Liu Hongmei was to wash intestines.
Fang Peizhong and Liu Hongmei had never done such work, and after two days, they were vomiting and out of breath.
Don’t even mention whether they wanted to work or not; people there simply didn’t want them.
They were directly chased back.
Now the two of them are sitting idle at home, while Ye Hua is bedridden.
Fang Zhiyuan is downhearted, relying on his meager salary to support so many people in the family.
How could he manage to support them?
Fang Peizhong and Liu Hongmei still have their two kids with them.
The four members of the family are crammed together with the parents, and though meals aren’t a problem.
The couple can’t have no money; if they want to buy something, Fang Zhiyuan has no money to spare, and naturally, he can’t give them any.
You can imagine what life’s like.
The couple thought that this couldn’t go on forever.
When they inquired around the neighborhood, they found out arranging jobs wasn’t easy now.
Start a small business?
As for Fang Peizhong’s inclinations, despite the current state of affairs.
He still puts on airs, looking down on small business traders.
In his view, that’s still speculation, not something a scholar like him should do.
After inquiring around, they learned that the one doing best in the family now is Fang Xiaohui.
Didn’t they see Fang Xiaohui had gotten into the First People’s Hospital through the Song family’s connections?
Since there’s this connection there, it’s a waste not to use it, so the couple decided to come directly to find Fang Xiaohui.
Of course, they hoped Fang Xiaohui could arrange some work for them.
They came empty-handed!
Liu Hongmei initially thought that when asking for a favor, one should have some gesture of asking, maybe buy some canned fruit or something.
Even though there’s not much money, some should be spent.
But Fang Peizhong was used to being the young master at home.
From childhood to adulthood, he had always instructed Fang Xiaohui to help him do things, lacking a mindset of asking for favors.
That’s why the couple showed up empty-handed.
Now they’re not welcomed, seeing the disdainful look from Mrs. Song, Fang Peizhong regretted it.
He didn’t expect that Fang Xiaohui’s mother-in-law would be home.
Mrs. Song snorted coldly and returned to her room.
Fang Peizhong and Liu Hongmei exchanged looks, but Mrs. Song didn’t bother with them at all.
Don’t know whether she didn’t hear or deliberately didn’t want to see them.
Fang Peizhong had no choice but to answer it.
After hearing those words, a smile appeared on Fang Peizhong’s face.
Fang Xiaohui! I didn’t expect you to be such a Fang Xiaohui.
It seems coming here this time was right.
Fang Peizhong and Liu Hongmei went to Fang Xiaohui’s room.
Fang Xiaohui had long heard that Fang Peizhong and Liu Hongmei had come, and anger boiled in her heart.
Why is the Fang family pestering her?
Though the Fang family raised her, Ye Hua hasn’t extracted less from her, squeezing money out of her.
All the salary she earned those years was taken by Ye Hua.
Now, Ye Hua is lying down, and she managed to get rid of one vampire, and Fang Peizhong is already rushing in.
What on earth is this about; she doesn’t owe Fang Peizhong anything.
Why should she support her brother?
Seeing Fang Peizhong, she was in no mood.
"Big brother, how’s the family? You come visiting empty-handed? Let my mother-in-law see you. Aren’t you ashamed? And calling yourself an intellectual, an intellectual who doesn’t understand social etiquette. Your sister has given birth and is on postpartum bed rest, at least you should bring some eggs, bring some millet.
You come empty-handed, bringing nothing."
Fang Xiaohui lashed out fiercely.
Not caring if Liu Hongmei stood on one side.
She didn’t know Liu Hongmei, assuming this was her sister-in-law whom she had never met, but what did it have to do with her?
Liu Hongmei’s face turned red, blaming Fang Peizhong internally, it’s always him, always .
Not embarrassed at all.
Being despised by his own sister, how can he be okay with it?
"I did come empty-handed. So what, do you think I owe you something, Fang Xiaohui? Let me tell you, the disgraceful things you did, I didn’t care to mention them. If I hadn’t kept them quiet for you, your in-laws would have kicked you out of the Song family a long time ago, and you’d still have face to act arrogant in front of me."
Fang Peizhong spoke calmly, shocking with his words.
Fang Xiaohui raised her eyes to scrutinize Fang Peizhong.
It’s only been over two years, and Fang Peizhong had changed quite a bit.
Although he was frivolous before, at least he was a refined and scholarly gentleman, now his eyes are full of calculating glints.
The deep lines on his face reveal his cynical and indifferent attitude.
"Big brother, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean, I mean Brother Yong said you should send him 5000 yuan, otherwise, he’ll announce that you hired him to kill Jiang Xiaoxiao, and also you helped them plot against the Fan family’s people. Do you think my meaning is clear enough?"
Fang Peizhong smugly explained.
This was a leverage against Fang Xiaohui.
There’s hope for his job after all.
Fang Xiaohui’s face turned pale with fright!
She hurriedly glanced at the door.
Fortunately, it was closed.
"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely shut up, but your brother and sister-in-law’s jobs have to be handled by you. You, it’s best you quickly get the job arrangements done for me, otherwise, I can’t guarantee what I might say.
Brother Yong asked me to pass on his message to you, and I’ve told you now, so you should take care of yourself. By the way, since you can give Brother Yong 5000 yuan, you can surely give me 5000 yuan too. Your brother is short on cash; I’ve come back from the countryside, having no money and in dire straits, counting on you, dear sister, to look after me."
Fang Peizhong revealed his complete rogue behavior.
Liu Hongmei was startled.
The gentle sister-in-law turned out to be such a person, and she began to panic, wondering what family she’d gotten herself into.
She tried every possible way to marry into such a family, who knew her brother-in-law was such a rotten figure, killing people, now her sister-in-law is no better, plotting to hire an assassin.
The more secrets she knew, the more unsettled she felt inside.
Knowing so much, she truly feared not knowing when she might end up dead one day.
She knew the secrets of both Fang Peizhong and Fang Xiaohui, how could Fang Peizhong possibly let her go?
