Chapter 440 It’s done
In addition, the grandson cannot suffer in vain.
Yes! Before I sent my child to learn a trade, I knew it would require hard work.
Therefore, the family specially gave the carpenter a generous gift and also revealed his identity as the village chief.
What I meant was to ask the carpenter to be more considerate, but I didn't expect the other party to not give me any face at all.
He is old and doesn't care about face, but he can't bear to see his grandson beaten like this.
When they got to the bottom of the field, Du Youcai was still pulling weeds with great effort. The old village chief looked at him and felt a surge of anger in his heart. He went up and hit him on the head.
Du Youcai was furious. How dare you! Who dares to hit him like this?
When he turned around and found it was his father, his momentum immediately weakened, and he said aggrievedly: "What's the matter? Dad, can't you just talk it out? Why do you have to hit me?"
"Fight? Not only do I want to fight, I'll beat you to death and no one will say anything!"
"Do you know how Yaozu has been bullied? He keeps messing with your broken land all day long. You should live with this land..."
The old village chief first gave his son a stern lecture. After his temper subsided, he calmed down and explained the situation clearly. Finally, he said, "I don't care. You have to find a way to vent your anger on my grandson!"
How could Du Youcai dare to speak? Moreover, he had always been honest and simple-minded, so how could he think of any good ideas at this moment?
However, when he learned that his son had actually paid to be beaten, he was really angry. With a roll of his eyes, he had an idea: "Dad, I know what to do."
After he finished speaking, he ran away without waiting for the old village chief to say anything else.
Well, I ran to find Fang Tong.
Fang Tong always has a lot of ideas, he will definitely be able to come up with a solution!
Du Youcai found him and told him the whole story with a very aggrieved look, hoping that he would come up with a solution.
Then he said that his son should follow Fang Tonggan and dig a pond for him. At the same time, he was very sensible and brought a chicken over.
When Fang Tong heard this, he took the cuckooing old hen and agreed to the two tasks without saying a word.
It’s not because of the chicken or not, but regardless of anything else, the fact that Du Yaozu quit his job as a carpenter to come and dig a pond for him, he can’t just ignore this matter.
Besides, Yaozu is the village chief’s grandson, so he has to give the old village chief some face.
He has a firm grasp on the matter of personal relationships.
He put the chicken in his backyard, and under Du Youcai's worried and grateful gaze, he left with Tiezhu and his brothers.
Du Youcai was very restless and would come over every once in a while to see if Fang Tong had returned.
The main reason is that he doesn't dare to go home. Once he goes home, his father will point at his nose and scold him, saying that until a deal is made, that place is not his home.
After waiting for a while, Fang Tong finally came back near dusk.
Du Youcai was overjoyed and hurried over to grab Fang Tong's hand: "Brother Fang, how are you?"
Fang Tong calmly pulled his hand away. What are you doing? Why are you touching his hand? He only lets his wife touch his hand.
He patted the other person's shoulder and said, "I've already solved this problem. That carpenter will have to stay on the kang for at least a month, or he won't be able to recover!"
Du Youcai was overjoyed when he heard this: "Brother Fang, you still have a way. I really didn't misjudge you!"
"You really helped me vent my anger!"
He praised Fang Tong a lot, and at the same time, he felt more at ease leaving his son to Fang Tong.
After exchanging pleasantries, he immediately went home to bring the news back to his parents and his son.
The old village chief then looked more friendly towards him: "Well, you are of some use."
Du Yaozu jumped up even more excitedly.
Seeing this, Du Youcai felt depressed and aggrieved. What was his father doing? What did he mean by being of some use? Although Fang Tong was indeed smart, he was his father's biological son, right?
But in fact, he was a little puzzled. If his son came back to farm, he could do it. Why didn't he just follow his biological father and let Fang Tong farm?
Uncle Fang Tong was just smarter, more capable, more profitable, more articulate, and even more handsome than him… The more Du Youcai thought about it, the more depressed he became. He simply gave up thinking about it. After all, weren't they all farming? There was no difference!
Of course, he didn't dare to say either of these two thoughts. He had finally managed to get home and was really afraid that his father would scold him again.
Early the next morning, Fang Tong had a quick meal and left with his brothers.
He took the job, starting from the county town, and had to go to each cake shop one by one to build ovens for them.
This thing gets paid every day.
Mr. Wu was generous and offered a high price, a full two hundred coins per person per day! So we brothers were all happy to accept it.
Especially Tiezhu, he is the most diligent.
Now he is the poorest among his brothers, because his family has given a betrothal gift some time ago, and he also used his own savings to buy a gold hairpin for his fiancée. Now he has no money in his hands. Isn't he the poorest?
He had promised his fiancée that he would buy her delicious food every month. What if after they get married, his fiancée wants to eat it but he can't afford it? Wouldn't that be a breach of promise?
No, he had heard Qin Yan's eldest nephew say that a gentleman's word is as good as a horse's. He couldn't do that.
At the same time, Qin Yan dressed up specially today, wearing a black robe with silver embroidery and long hair tied up and hanging down. He looked elegant and handsome, attracting the attention of others.
What a handsome young man, the only flaw is that he is in a wheelchair.
Fang Yin pushed the wheelchair and looked at his good-looking nephew from time to time, smiling: "Brother Yan, you are so good-looking. I want to find a good-looking wife when I get married in the future."
Qin Yan casually asked, "Someone as good-looking as me?"
"That won't do!" Fang Yin thought about it. The female version of Qin Yan's wife made him feel creepy and a little nauseous. He realized that what he said might be a little hurtful. He explained, "It's not that you're not pretty, but I can't be as pretty as you! I have to be pretty in a different way!"
He couldn't quite describe what that kind of good looks was, but it definitely couldn't be as good-looking as Qin Yan's.
Qin Yan just said it casually, but he didn't expect him to react so strongly. He understood what his uncle wanted to say and smiled immediately: "Okay, okay, I know."
The two chatted and laughed as they prepared to go to the banquet at the Lin Mansion.
Today, Qin Yan applied for leave from the provincial school. He originally thought that the teacher would not approve it, but unexpectedly, it was approved very smoothly.
He estimated that many students in the provincial school might have to ask for leave today.
The Lin family's poetry banquet was also interesting. Instead of holding it yesterday, which was a day off, they chose to hold it on the first day of school. However, even so, there would be no shortage of people attending, after all, it was a banquet hosted by the prefect's youngest son.
Fang Nanzhi waved to the two of them, said goodbye to them loudly, then jumped onto the ox cart and went to the pharmacy with his mother.
Alas, there is no way, she has to go to work. Who made her so hardworking and studious and take on such an important responsibility?
The Lin family villa is not far away.
However, from a distance, one could see many carriages lined up in front of the gate of the villa not far away. There was a long queue. Most of the carriages were inlaid with gold and jade, and the worst ones were carved with flowers and birds. The queue almost stretched for half of the street, and it was estimated that one would have to wait for a while.
