"Thank you, Brother-in-law." Fang Quan realized his mistake and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Yes, he was too cruel and unscrupulous!
He was so immersed in his own emotions that he forgot everything his sister and brother-in-law had done for him!
It was his brother-in-law who had arranged for him to go to Dong Jinbu's place. It was also his brother-in-law who had arranged for him to leave Dong Jinbu's place. It was all for his own good!
How could he not understand that?
He had seen how arrogant Dong Jinbu was in the Northeast and all the bad things he had done. He was not an idiot.
But he had not helped Dong Jinbu do bad things. He was just an ordinary worker who worked hard to earn his money. What kind of involvement would there be?
That was what he could not understand!
Although Dong Hao had already given him a lot of reasons when he went to pick him up, he was still not completely convinced by them!
He Fang could tell what he was thinking. She patted his head. "You idiot. Your brother-in-law arranged for you to stay there so that you could take care of the family. But you only go back once a year. You might as well stay here. Anyway, you will go back during the Lunar New Year. Isn't following Dong Jinbu better than following your sister?
Do you think your sister will treat you badly?
Don't think too much. You're a good-for-nothing. It's as if we can harm you. "
"Sis, that's not what I meant." Fang Quan blushed at He Fang's words. He wanted to explain but did not know how to.
"Sis is right. There are so many of us here. Why can't we arrange a place for you? If not, we can go to my mutton restaurant. You're better at roasting mutton than me, right? " He Long ignored Wu Chunyan's supercilious look and continued, "Just follow my brother. We can work together and open another restaurant tomorrow. By then, we will be the kings of Sijiu City. Also, did you see how big, open, and prosperous this place is? It's not much better than staying in Black River, right? Water flows downwards, and people strive to climb higher. Isn't that the right thing to do? "
"Yes, your brother is right." He Fang did not expect his brother to say such insightful words. She could not help but look at him in awe. Then, he continued to speak to Fang Quan, "I won't hide it from you. Although you haven't done anything bad with Dong Jinbu, I'm afraid that if he finds out what you've done, he won't be able to hold himself back.
He would definitely think of a way to get help, wouldn't he?
Do you think he will look for your brother-in-law?
The best way to get your brother-in-law to agree is to drag you down with him!
If you were to be dragged into this, would your brother-in-law and I help or not?
Even though we knew that there was a puddle in front of us, your brother-in-law and I still had to jump forward. "
She was trying her best to tell Fang Quan all these things that no one had ever told him before, hoping that Fang Quan would understand.
"Sis, I was wrong. I really understand this time." He Fang had explained it in such detail. If Fang Quan still didn't understand, then he would be a pig brain!
To put it bluntly, in order to save himself, Dong Jinbu might use him as a stepping stone at any time. Once Li He got involved, no one would be able to get away with it!
He was just a pawn with a value to be used!
When he thought of this, he felt even more ashamed.
Old Mrs. Han said, "Think about how good your brother-in-law is. Other than your own relatives, who else would help you like this? I don't care who you are, right? "
"Auntie, I understand. Thank you, brother-in-law." Fang Quan raised his glass to toast Li He.
Li He waved his hand and said, "Sit down. You don't need to be so formal. Since you're here, you should take a break first. Walk around and think about what you want to do before you start again. Your Brother Xiao Long was right about one thing. There are definitely more opportunities here than back home. As long as you're willing to work, you won't be poor."
Old Mrs. Han also pointed at Wu Chunqiang and said, "Look at your Brother Qiang. How long has he been here? Now that your sister-in-law and your brother are here, you haven't thought about how to make a fortune, have you? Selling steamed buns! In my hometown, I can't even imagine that selling steamed buns can make a fortune. "
"Brother Qiang, a toast to you." Fang Quan clinked his glass with Wu Chunqiang's.
Wu Chunqiang smiled and said, "Don't listen to Auntie's exaggeration. It's just that it's better than back home. As long as you're willing to work, you'll be able to make money. With money, there's no difference in status. With money, people like us from the countryside won't have to bow down to people from the city."
Every word he said came from the bottom of his heart.
He Fang said, "Don't stand on ceremony. Eat what you should. Don't stop eating."
The people on the table were exchanging toasts, and the sounds of laughter and chatter were unceasing.
Halfway through, Old Mrs. Han forbade Fang Quan from drinking anymore. "How old are you? How can you be so addicted to alcohol? Don't drink anymore. Eat more and eat more."
After Old Mrs. Han's reminder, everyone realized that Fang Quan was still a child. Indeed, they shouldn't force him to drink too much, so they all stopped drinking.
After dinner, He Fang was in the kitchen getting dressed. Fang Quan stood at the kitchen door, fidgeting. He wanted to say something but couldn't. He wanted to smoke, but Old Mrs. Han kept a close eye on him. She wouldn't allow him to smoke, so he couldn't sit still.
"Smoke if you want to. Just don't smoke too much. You're still small. It's not good for you to smoke too much." He Fang found it funny.
"Sis, can you find me a place to stay?" Fang Quan took advantage of Old Mrs. Han's absence to take a puff of his cigarette. He blew out a smoke ring comfortably.
He Fang said unhappily, "I'll give you a place to stay. Just stay here and don't think about running around."
"Sis, I want to move out. Rent a place. Isn't that convenient?" Fang Quan was like He Long. He couldn't stand Old Mrs. Han's control.
He had only been here for a short while, but he was already being scolded like a puppy. He didn't even have the chance to bare his teeth. If this went on any longer, he would be in trouble!
Moreover, it wasn't that he didn't know this Old Mrs. Han. It was because he knew her too well that he didn't dare to stay here!
He Fang said, "Here, there's food and drinks for you. Why would I be afraid of mistreating you?"
Fang Quan hurriedly waved his hand. "No, I can cook. If I really want to eat good food, I can come here to have a sumptuous meal. I'll just rent a place nearby. I won't go far."
"No." He Fang was very determined. "This isn't your hometown. You're not familiar with the place. How can I be at ease letting you live alone?"
She had lived with her aunt since she was young. She had watched this little cousin grow up. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was her biological brother.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll move in with Little Brother." Fang Quan took a step back.
"Why? You're afraid that your aunt will nag you?" He Fang finally understood. Otherwise, why would he be willing to stay at He Long's place instead of her house?
Fang Quan chuckled. "Sis, you're so smart."
"Sigh, you naughty boy. I don't know what to do with you." He Fang thought for a moment and said, "Your Little Brother lives in a small area. He has three bedrooms and one living room. There's not much space. There's an empty house at the end of the alley. You can move in tonight, but you can't wander around. If you want to go out, I'll have to get you a temporary residence permit first. "
She had bought a house before she got married. After she got married, other than He Long's family who stayed there for a period of time. Later on, He Long bought his own house, and it had always been empty.
There were pots, bowls, ladles, and all the furniture in the house. Moreover, there was no need for bedding in this season. She just needed to tidy up, bring a mat, and an electric fan.
At that moment, she tidied up the kitchen and found the feather duster, mat, and extra electric fan. She stuffed them into Fang Quan's hands and asked him to carry them. The siblings went to her house together.
"Thank you, Sis." Fang Quan couldn't be more satisfied with the house in front of him.
"You have hands and feet. Hurry up and tidy up yourself. I won't be serving you." He Fang went back after she finished speaking. There were still two little rascals at home.
However, Old Madam He couldn't be at ease. She blamed He Fang for being so unreasonable. How could she let a half-grown child go out?
He Fang shook her head helplessly. She couldn't tell his mother that he wanted to avoid her.
Even her own son avoided her like this, not to mention that he was just a nephew!
His mother was good at everything, but she had no self-awareness in this area!
