With that said, Fangzheng left Eighth Qiu's house with Red Boy.
Once they were out, Fangzheng asked Red Boy, "Jingxin, how do you handle such situations over at your place?"
Red Boy grinned. "How would I know? Back on my mountain, things were simple. Anyone who wasn't pleasing to the eye would be thrown into a pot and stewed. If this were over at my place, I would have stewed Qiu Baihong when I heard the news. Then, I wouldn't care anymore. "
Fangzheng rolled his eyes at him. "Use your brain!"
Red Boy shook his head and said, "I'm done."
Fangzheng: "…"
Fangzheng could also tell that Red Boy was truly at a loss as to how to handle the situation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted so shamelessly. However, his shameless manner did seem to have inherited Fangzheng's teachings.
Fangzheng looked up into the sky and said silently, "Alright. This child didn't learn much of This Penniless Monk's attainments in the Buddhist Dharma, but his shameless ways have been inherited. If this fellow were to return to Guan Yin Bodhisattva's side, wouldn't Bodhisattva cross worlds to smack me to death when she sees his behavior? "
With this in mind, Fangzheng couldn't help but shudder as he hurriedly left.
"Master, don't leave yet. I still have a question I can't figure out," Red Boy asked.
"Ask."
Red Boy said, "Master, Qiu Baihong isn't Eighth Qiu's biological daughter. Even if they have feelings for each other after living together for so many years, there's no need for him to be so attached to her, right? If I were him, I would have directly given all this love to Qiu Jinyu. She's his biological daughter! "
Fangzheng shook his head. "You don't know love. Qiu Jinyu is very blessed. Her character is destined to lead a peaceful life. However, Qiu Baihong's character is a little warped. Eighth Qiu is worried that something will happen to her due to her character flaws. "
"Uh, Master, so what? This child is already so warped. If it were me, I'd let her be, "Red Boy said.
Fangzheng said, "You have such thoughts because you haven't been a father before. Not when you've watched a child grow from the cradle to the grown-up. A father is the pillar of a family, a towering tree that hangs over a child's head. He spends his entire life trying to shelter his child. Regardless of whether it was rain, snow, frost, or hail the size of a bowl, even if he was covered in cuts and bruises, as a father, he would not retreat! Guarding was a father's responsibility! This responsibility had nothing to do with her father's wealth, or her father's beauty, or even her father's strength. It had everything to do with love!
Although Eighth Qiu is slow and doesn't know how to handle the relationship between father and daughter, he has always been silently protecting his daughter. "
Red Boy nodded slightly and said, "I know that, but … Master, you don't have a child, so why are you saying all these things?"
Fangzheng shot a glance at Red Boy. "With a brat like you, is there a need to raise a child?"
Hong Haier: "…"
Fangzheng said, "That's what my master said. Back when he said it, I treated it as empty talk and didn't think much of it. However, as I came into contact with more and more people and things, and after having a disciple, I finally understood the deeper meaning of these words … "
"What do you mean?" Red Boy looked up.
Fangzheng used an extremely deep gaze and said solemnly, "Apart from finding trouble for yourself by raising a child, it's useless!"
Red Boy was already waiting for a long speech of chicken soup, but in the end, he almost sprained his old waist with that one sentence and that instantaneous turning of the corner!
Red Boy wanted to reprimand Fangzheng for driving without thinking, but on second thought, Fangzheng's words weren't wrong. As parents, what did they get in exchange for giving everything to their children? When the children grew up, they would get married and have children. The so-called filial piety, how many people could be able to stay by their side forever without abandoning their loved ones? Even if they had such thoughts, reality would force them to leave! It wasn't that the child wasn't filial, but that the world was just that cruel!
Therefore, parents really didn't expect anything from their children …
Red Boy couldn't help but recall his father, who he had always treated as dispensable and unreliable. From what Fangzheng had said previously, his father seemed to be silently helping him shoulder some burden. However, in the end, he failed, and his entire family was scammed.
Regardless of what Red Boy was thinking, Fangzheng had once again brought him to Qiu Baihong's door.
Before they entered, they heard Qiu Baihong shouting. "You're not allowed to leave! You can only leave after you take out the money! "
"What do you mean I can't leave? I'm leaving. What can you do about it? "the man who had been playing mahjong with Qiu Baihong roared.
Qiu Baihong was enraged. "Heh! I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen someone as shameless as you! Why? I won a big one in the last round, but you immediately flipped the table and refused to play. What's the meaning of this? Are you trying to go back on your word? Tell me, is there such a way to play mahjong? "Qiu Baihong said to the other two.
The two revealed odd expressions and did not say a word. Clearly, they did not wish to get involved in this mess.
With the two not saying a word, the shameless man immediately felt emboldened when he saw that Qiu Baihong's husband wasn't home. He scoffed and said, "It's normal for you to not pay after the last round! If I had to say, you should return the money to them! Also, you better watch your mouth! Who's trying to go back on their word!? "
"My mouth isn't clean? Bao Yuqing, it's your mouth that isn't clean! You don't brush your teeth when you go to the bathroom or eat! "Qiu Baihong cursed.
Bao Yuqing pricked up his brows when he heard that. He raised his hand and slapped her!
Pa!
Qiu Baihong stumbled from the slap!
Bao Yuqing cursed. "Pui! This slap is to teach you how to speak! Do you really think your family is still the same as before? In the past, whenever you offended someone, Eighth Qiu would come knocking on your door and apologize with a smile! Everyone praised him as well! Now that you are living your own life, why are you still so arrogant? Eighth Qiu may indulge you, but I won't! "
"You dare hit me?" Qiu Baihong held her face as her eyes turned red.
"So what if I hit you? Do you believe I won't hit you again? "Bao Yuqing rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was about to attack!
Although Qiu Baihong was shrewish, she was ultimately a woman. She was ruthless with her words, but she wasn't as good when it came to violence. Furthermore, she clearly wasn't as bold as her mouth suggested! Seeing that Bao Yuqing was about to attack again, she immediately felt afraid.
The other two hurriedly came forward to stop the fight. They pulled Bao Yuqing away and said to Qiu Baihong, "Enough. Cut it out."
"On account of Eighth Qiu, I'll leave it at that for today!" Bao Yuqing scoffed before preparing to leave.
Fangzheng waved his hand at him, gesturing for him to ignore him and continue watching.
Qiu Baihong felt resentment rise in her heart when she saw someone slap her in front of others. Her personality was one that easily went to extremes, so all sorts of resentment gathered in her mind. She clenched her teeth and ran into the house before running out with a roar.
