After all, they had been father and son for many years. As soon as Grandpa Fang opened his mouth, Fang Tong knew what he wanted to say. However, since he was adopted, there was no need for him to listen to it anymore.
"Okay, uncle, you didn't come here to talk about this today, so just say what you want to say!"
Only then did Mr. Fang remember why he came here today. He felt a little regretful for what he had said just now. He lowered his head and began to calm down.
Fang Tong heard a slight noise from the wooden door. He turned around and saw his daughter opening the door a little and peeking out, as if she wanted to come out to help and fight the old man again. He quickly waved his hand and asked her to go back.
Fang Yin also saw it and asked to play with Zhizhi.
Old Master Fang hadn't said anything yet, so how could he let him run away like that? He stopped him with a stern face.
Fang Yin looked at his brother, but his brother gave him a look, stopping him from moving.
He felt wronged and didn't understand. He just squatted there obediently, drawing on the ground with a stone he had picked up from somewhere.
Only then did Mr. Fang clear his throat: "Well... I know you and the second brother have a deep brotherly love, so why not bring him here."
"It's just right. I heard that your business is very busy and you were hiring some time ago. It's just right that your second brother still has some strength. But you have to pay more for the wages. After all, we are brothers."
Fang Tong was not surprised at all when he heard this.
He rolled his eyes.
What he said was really nice, he just wanted to get money from him, but he didn't believe that the wages could remain in his second brother's hands.
He shook his head: "No, I'm enough."
Mr. Fang was stunned for a moment.
Isn't this different from what we expected?
Before coming, the eldest son said that the third son wanted the second son to stay in the Qin family, which was why he made such a fuss at home every day.
But his reaction was completely different from what they expected. How should they respond?
"No? Then why do you encourage the second brother to make trouble every day?"
Fang Tong's eyes widened when he heard this: "What? You can't say that with empty words!"
He did it, but he doesn't admit it. What can I do?
He was speechless. "Don't you think about it? My family is doing business now. If we need people, we just need to go to the village and shout, and people will line up from one end of the village to the other to ask for work!"
So, what does Fang Yin have to do?
Mr. Fang was completely speechless now.
Because he was telling the truth!
In the past, people thought that Tiezhu and the others came to help because they were Fang Tong's friends, but now it is different.
The business was doing so well, and working with Fang Tong, I got paid every day, and my business was getting more and more prosperous.
Those hooligans who were despised in the past have now become promising young men in the village. Many families with daughters of the right age are thinking about marrying them off every day!
After all, it was a disaster year. Who wouldn’t want a job that could make money?
Fang Tong looked at the old man's expression, sighed and continued, "Alas, I really have no choice. You know what Second Brother is like. He eats more than the cows that pull the goods at home. Who in the average family can afford to raise him?"
"He eats a lot, but his reaction is slow. I must be in great need of people to spend money to hire him, right?"
Fang Yin squatted there obediently at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong and he began to pout in grievance.
"Third brother! You bully me!"
Fang Tong ignored him.
What are you doing? Making trouble? Don’t you see that we are at the critical moment? Just draw his little man!
Mr. Fang was speechless. Everything he wanted to say was based on the premise that the Qin family wanted to keep the second son, but this...
However, he was still somewhat skeptical. After all, the two brothers had a very good relationship, and he had been watching them for so many years. Could he really just say he didn't want to keep them?
"You really don't want to help him?"
Fang Tong has no eloquence. He has dealt with all kinds of people. The old man's test is too obvious and boring.
He smiled: "I think so! But what's the use of thinking about it? I'm so busy running around, how can I take care of him? If you ask me, this matter still depends on my eldest cousin!"
This is referring to Fang Jin.
"When my eldest cousin passes the imperial examination, I will ask my wife to find a wife for my second brother. I will go around the village and tell everyone that the scholar's younger brother is getting married."
When Mr. Fang heard him mention his eldest son, he felt uncomfortable and wanted to refute, but thinking that the matter had not been settled yet, he had to endure it.
"Since we have to rely on the eldest brother, that's a matter for the future. We are talking about the present. Besides, the second brother's brain is so bad that even if he is the younger brother of a scholar, what good family would be happy with him?"
Fang Tong pretended to be profound: "You don't understand this, right? Let me teach you!"
He was very excited, as if he really had some good idea.
"That's it. Then tell everyone how stupid this scholar's brother is. He did it for his elder brother! How can a scholar be ungrateful? Definitely not!"
"Then the eldest brother will definitely have to support this younger brother for the rest of his life. It's such a good thing, maybe someone will be willing to do it!"
This is really heartbreaking.
When Fang Yin had a fever, the family was not short of money to hire a doctor, but Old Man Fang was reluctant to spend it, saying that the money was for buying books for his eldest son. In the end, he really bought a collection of poems.
A good person was delayed and turned into a fool.
Mr. Fang's memory is actually not as bad as he said. When he heard this, his face changed suddenly.
If this gets out, people will talk about it. Doesn't that mean the eldest brother will have to support his second son for the rest of his life?
This scholar can have brothers, but he cannot have a lifelong burden!
Mr. Fang suddenly became alert, but his face also darkened.
"Fang Tong, even if you are adopted out, the father you and I recognize is the brother of the same father. If you count up, we are close relatives with the same ancestor."
Fang Tong didn't say anything.
He knew that this was a reminder to him. It was really funny. Just like what his family did, he should remind himself more often.
Especially Fang Jin, he is two-faced and hypocritical to the extreme. Something will happen sooner or later.
Seeing that his face was not looking good, Mr. Fang understood and his expression relaxed a lot.
"Well, Fang Tong, I know you're a man of loyalty and righteousness. You can't possibly ignore your second brother. So how about this? Just give him the same wages as everyone else. At least your second brother has a job to do."
He didn't consider extorting money anymore, and the most important thing was to get the person away first.
After hearing this, Fang Tong touched his chin and pretended to think.
In fact, there was no need to think about it. He had thought that this day would come long before he agreed to let Fang Yin leave with him last time.
"It's not impossible, but if you don't provide food and accommodation..."
When Mr. Fang heard that this was not right, he quickly interrupted: "No, no, food and accommodation must be provided, how can we not provide them? It is not convenient to run back and forth!"
We are in the same village, so what's the inconvenience? That's pure nonsense.
But he sent Fang Yin out because the boss couldn't stand him making a fuss and causing chaos at home. If he went back home to eat and live, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause. Who could stand it?
"Ah?" Fang Tong frowned immediately. "Then I can't get paid the same as others. That's not fair to them!"
