Chapter 414 Fang Wenxiu's plan: moving to Tongan County

Fang Wenxiu put the porcelain pieces he picked up on the table and said in a muffled voice: "Father, I have not forgotten my roots. But as a businessman... we must be flexible, otherwise we will never be able to make a living."

"Heh..." Fang Hengyuan sneered, "What you call flexibility and business expansion is to uproot our Fang family? You unfilial son!"

Fang Wenxiu suddenly felt powerless and covered his head with his hands.

"How is my son unfilial..."

"How is it unfilial? You want to move the Fang family to Tongan County. Isn't that unfilial enough? Our ancestors didn't see us when they came back and thought our family was extinct!" Fang Hengyuan got anxious and said all kinds of things.

Fang Wenxiu also got a little angry when he heard this, and his voice became a little louder: "What do you mean by extinction or not! Why do you say anything? My son is also doing this for the good of the Fang family!"

He thought of Fang Hengyuan's nonsense and started to talk nonsense too:

"Since they can't see us, they will naturally send a message to their son in his dreams. In his dream, his son will tell them that we have moved to the neighboring Tong'an County! Then we can just ask them to come and find us!"

Fang Hengyuan was stunned when he heard this. What did it mean to let all the ancestors come to find them?

Who are you trying to scare, little brat?

"You unfilial son! Do you want to piss off your father to death?"

He stretched out his hand and hit Fang Wenxiu in the face, but what he didn't expect was that Fang Wenxiu didn't dodge, and his punch hit Fang Wenxiu right on the bridge of his nose.

"pat-"

A drop of blood from the nose fell on the ground. Fang Wenxiu raised his hand to wipe it blankly, and there was a pool of blood.

"That's good now." Fang Wenxiu raised his sleeve to wipe the blood from his nose, rolled his eyes and said, "There's blood."

Fang Hengyuan looked at him with an indifferent look, his hands trembling slightly.

It had been a long time since he last beat Fang Wenxiu, so long that he himself couldn't even remember when was the last time he did that.

It seems... it was when she was still there.

He suddenly felt his eyes sore and yelled outside, "Call the doctor! Call the doctor!"

"No need." The servant was about to run away when Fang Wenxiu's voice followed closely behind him.

The servant was in a dilemma, not knowing whether he should go or not. Fang Hengyuan glared at him and said angrily, "Open your eyes and see clearly who is the head of the family!"

The boy glanced left and right, hesitating and standing there.

If he were to tell the truth, he was actually more afraid of the young master, but right now he had to choose between telling the truth and saving his life.

Now...he finally chose to succumb to fate and ran out of the house.

Fang Wenxiu wiped the blood from his nose helplessly, and said in a humming voice: "Father, it's just a nosebleed."

He rubbed his nose and grinned, "The bones are fine, don't worry. You sent people to find a doctor with great fanfare, and by the time the doctor arrived, my son's nosebleed would have stopped."

Fang Hengyuan didn't look at him and whispered, "You'd better see a doctor first."

The father and son fell into a strange silence. Finally, Fang Hengyuan spoke up: "Why didn't you dodge just now? You are so young, and you couldn't even dodge the old man's fist?"

Fang Wenxiu looked at his awkward expression and smiled softly, "If your son hides, won't you be even angrier? It's better to let you calm down first."

He spoke sincerely and naturally, but this was not what Fang Hengyuan wanted to hear.

Fang Hengyuan would rather hear him say that he didn't dodge because he was distracted for a moment.

"Wen Xiu." Fang Hengyuan looked at him and said in a low voice, "Your father shouldn't have hit you just now. But... Your father doesn't want you to use your body as a bargaining chip. You can't do this no matter who you negotiate with."

He paused and looked up at the sky. "If your mother saw this, she would be so sad."

Fang Wenxiu was stunned, followed his gaze to the sky, and said with a smile: "Did father forget? When mother was alive, her son was beaten, and you were the one who tried to stop the fight."

He still remembers how his mother beat him until he cried loudly when he was still alive.

At that time, my father could only pretend to be polite and advised me with a voice smaller than a mosquito: "Don't hit it, don't hit it..."

Thinking about it now, I was so happy back then. My younger brother was only that tiny.

"cough--"

Fang Hengyuan looked embarrassed and coughed lightly, "What if we move to Tongan County and your mother comes back to see us but can't find us?"

Fang Wenxiu didn't expect him to say that, and he couldn't find any words to respond for a moment.

"You also think what your father said makes sense, right?"

Fang Hengyuan took advantage of the victory and started to use soft tactics when hard tactics didn't work: "Your father has no objection to your doing business with Tongan County. After all, County Magistrate Shen is definitely not an ordinary person and will surely rise to prominence in the future. But can't you also do business with them in Liuyang Prefecture?"

Fang Wenxiu pursed his lips, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Father, we can no longer cooperate with the Mo family."

Fang Hengyuan was shocked and asked repeatedly: "Why? Why not? Aren't you with Mo Qingwan..."

Fang Wenxiu: “…”

"Father, please finish your words every time you speak. What do you mean by son and Miss Mo... If others hear you saying this, I don't know how they will misunderstand."

"Others?" Fang Hengyuan looked around, "Is there anyone else in our family?"

Fang Wenxiu said helplessly: "The servants and maids also have a pair of ears and a mouth."

"How dare they!" Fang Hengyuan glared at the servant in the distance: "You are so tired of living that you dare to criticize your master!"

The servant who was glared at by him shuddered unconsciously.

Fang Wenxiu sighed and whispered, "Don't shout at the servants to kill them in the future. Lord Shen doesn't like it, and I think she is right to do so."

"Got it! Lord Shen, Lord Shen, you keep talking about Lord Shen all day long!" Fang Hengyuan slapped the table with his palm, "You haven't said it yet, what do you mean we can't cooperate with the Mo family?"

Fang Wenxiu sat down and asked, "Have you heard about the young master of the Mo family coming to Liuchang Academy to study?"

Fang Hengyuan thought for a moment and nodded, "I've heard a little bit about that kid. Why did he come to study here instead of studying at the prefectural school?"

"That's the problem." Fang Wenxiu frowned, "I heard that... Mr. Mo is a homosexual!"

"hiss--"

Fang Hengyuan took a deep breath and stood up, shouting, "What do you mean? Mo Qingwan is friends with you just because that bastard likes you? Is he here to matchmake for you two grown men? You son of a bitch, where's my knife? Where's my knife! I'm going to kill those two shameless people!"

The servant outside the hall was shocked.

Big news, shocking news!

The young master of the Mo family has set his eyes on the eldest son!

"No!" Fang Wenxiu also stood up anxiously, "What nonsense are you talking about! It doesn't make any sense!"

"Didn't you say that the bastard from the Mo family was a homosexual?" Fang Hengyuan asked with his eyes wide open.
