Chapter 201 Officialdom
Old Master Liu, however, talked about something else, frowning and speaking indignantly, "The Yan family is so ungrateful. If they hadn't used Yan Qingqing to make things difficult for the younger generation of the Fang family, how could Wanzhen have smashed that widow's shop?"
Liu Mingshu couldn't help but complain loudly, "That's right, they attached themselves to the Fang family in the beginning, but now they have turned their backs on us. How could my daughter be the kind of person who would look for trouble? If it weren't for them, how could my Zhenzhen go to the army to avoid disaster?"
When she thought about her daughter having to endure hardships in the army, her heart ached and she couldn't stop crying, "What the hell is going on..."
Old Master Liu was silent for a moment, then looked at her deeply, "If you hadn't doted on her so much, why would you have ended up like this?"
Liu Mingshu was not convinced, "What's wrong with me loving my daughter?"
Old Master Liu didn't want to argue with her about this train of thought, and looked at Fang Hanli again, "The An family promoted you, probably because they wanted to use your power to overthrow the Yan family and support that widow."
Fang Hanli shook his head, worry showing on his face, "I think Wen Jing is a very scheming person. She is keeping Fang Yanxin and An Feng in her sight. If she gains power one day, she will definitely stir up trouble."
Old Master Liu snorted contemptuously, "That's all you can see."
"Let me ask you, what do you think Wen Jing wants?"
Fang Hanli thought for a moment and said, "It seems that she wants to make money now and doesn't want to join the Fang family."
"That's fine. If she wants to make money, let her do it. If she really wants to get married, she should finish college first. There are still many years to go. If I were Wen Jing, I would definitely not hang myself on a tree so early."
Fang Hanli thought about it and felt that Fang Yanxin's words yesterday, "I haven't gotten her yet," were quite pitiful.
Fang Hanli thought of An Feng's willingness to support her, "What if she abandons Fang Yanxin in the future and marries An Feng or someone from another power? Wouldn't that mean all our efforts will be in vain?"
Old Master Liu rolled his eyes and said, "You have to understand that An Feng was carefully trained by the An family to be promoted to a high position. His wife can only be a well-educated and well-mannered daughter of a noble family with a clean family background. She cannot have any stain on her."
"As an official, if you want to climb higher, you can't leave any handle for others, and you should avoid suspicion. Business can only be done by collateral relatives. Otherwise, how did the Yan family rise?"
"However, in the officialdom, money is everywhere. Just because you keep yourself clean does not mean that others can resist temptation. If you refuse to go along with the corrupt, they will only regard you as an alien, exclude you, and set up obstacles until you are forced to succumb to reality and pave the way with money."
Fang Hanli was silent. He knew what was going on here very well.
Old Master Liu continued, "A girl with no background and a poor family has no foundation, so she is much easier to control than a family with a solid foundation like the Yan family. The little widow is very clear-headed. She knows her own worth very well. In the eyes of the Fang family and the An family, she is just an ant. If she wants to survive in the gap between the two forces, she can only work hard to make money and prove her usefulness."
"This is why the An family allowed An Feng to give face to that young widow."
Fang Hanli's eyes dimmed and he nodded, "I understand."
On the way back, Fang Hanli suddenly remembered something.
"I remember someone said that whoever is your grandson will always be your grandson."
Liu Mingshu was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red again, and she turned her face towards the car window and didn't look at him, "Xiao Huang said that, anyway, it wasn't me."
Grandson driver Xiao Huang: "..."
Seeing that she was still angry, Fang Hanli softened her tone and coaxed her, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have hit you out of anger. Let me see if I'm hurt." Liu Mingshu instantly felt aggrieved again. Tears welled up in her eyes. She pouted and turned her face away, refusing to let him see the injuries on her face.
Fang Hanli sighed, reached out and held her in his arms, looking at the wound on her face, there were two red palm prints overlapping on her fair face.
"Honey, I was so wrong."
Liu Mingshu didn't struggle to get free. She just hummed twice haughtily, which seemed to mean she forgave him.
.......
The Yan family has been enjoying watching plays recently.
Because except for the elders in the old house, the younger generations of the Fang family had no money at all, and their life was not happy at all.
The news that Fang Wanzhen smashed Wen Jing's store had spread a long time ago.
In the end, Fang Wanzhen had to sell her car for 50,000 yuan in compensation and was sent to the army as a female soldier.
I heard that Fang Wanzhen was sent there personally by Old Master Fang.
Fang Wanzhen's crying was as loud as a pig being slaughtered, and could be heard in the streets and alleys.
The Yan family particularly hated Fang Wanzhen because every time she came to their store, she acted arrogant and bossy, and they were like complete slaves.
She was forced to join the army to serve as a soldier, which helped her to temper her spoiled temper and vent her anger.
However, the strict father and mother felt that this matter was not quite right.
Mother Yan looked solemn, "No matter how you look at it, it looks like you've been framed."
The strict father also thought so, "But...we did deliberately not keep an account for Fang Wanzhen."
"But, no matter how broke Fang Wanzhen was, why did she go all the way to Wen Jing's store to make a scene? Fang Wanzhen now lives in the Fang family's old house. One is due east, and the other is due west. They almost span the entire Yongchang City. It takes an hour to drive there."
The concubine at the side analyzed, "Could it be because Wen Jing's clothing store sells out-of-season clothes from big brands with cut labels? I've heard people say that her store has a lot of styles of clothes, and the combinations are very nice. Could Fang Wanzhen have bought some clothes there on purpose?"
Mother Yan shook her head. "According to Fang Wanzhen's temper, she is not willing to wear out-of-season fashion. This can only mean that someone deliberately led her there."
The strict father narrowed his eyes slightly, "What is the purpose of this frame-up? Is the Fang family going to fall out completely? And I haven't seen Fang Hanchuan take any action."
The concubine's tone was a little coquettish, "Ah, Master, think about it, Yan Xin is your grandson after all, he has been admitted to Peking University, and he still has to rely on our family to help him with money. No matter how confused he is, he will not embarrass us."
The strict father thought about it and said, "I don't think he has the courage."
Yan's mother was immersed in her thoughts and didn't say anything.
The other concubine looked smart, "I think if we don't give them money, they won't live comfortably. Fang Wanzhen is a competitive person. She doesn't have money to buy clothes from famous brands of the season, so she must want to buy some out-of-season brands to save face~"
"This time it was Fang Wanzhen who offended that young widow. She even dared to threaten to kill them in front of the youngest grandson of the An family. Tsk tsk tsk, she is so brainless that she deserves to be sent to the army to suffer."
Her words instantly lit up Yan's mother's eyes.
She felt a chill down her spine, "No! This is not right!"
The strict father was puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Mother Yan's heartbeat was extremely fast, and her hands were shaking. "Quick! Prepare the car, I want to go to the Wen family in person!"
