Chapter 005: Don't scream
Chapter 005: Don't scream
Fang Yong's home.
A bungalow with iron windows and a red door.
The house has a layout of three bedrooms and two living rooms.
You have to understand that in those days, a family that could afford to build a single-story house was definitely considered very wealthy in the village.
After all, most people still live in red brick houses, and there are even many mud-brick houses.
...
"Auntie!"
Fang Hao greeted a burly middle-aged woman in the courtyard.
It was Fang Yong's mother, Zhou Xiuping.
The iconic short hair of this era.
Their clothing was also very simple.
"Ah Ba?"
"What are you doing???"
When Zhou Xiuping saw her nephew carrying her eldest son on his back, she was immediately filled with confusion. What was going on?
"A snake bit me."
"Luckily, Ah Hao stumbled upon it while he was in the mountains..."
Zhou Yong spoke up directly.
He knew his mother didn't like Fang Hao and thought he was a good-for-nothing who was just wasting his days.
"What?!"
How serious is it?
How could you be so careless?
"I told you not to go into the mountains... Just focus on the fishing boats, and rest at home for a day or two when you have free time, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on going in..."
Upon hearing that her son had been bitten by a snake...
Zhou Xiuping immediately became nervous.
He couldn't help but scold and berate her!
Actually, she's the kind of person who has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She doesn't have any bad intentions; she just speaks a bit directly and bluntly.
"It's all over now."
"I just had medicine applied at my tenth uncle's place."
Zhou Yong quickly shook his head and said.
Then I found a chair in the lobby and sat down.
People in this era had much stronger vitality than those in later generations, and often endured various pains and illnesses by sheer willpower.
To put it in simpler terms...
That means they're cheap and easy to raise!
"That's good!"
"Ah-Ba, thanks to you this time."
"Stay and have lunch with us later. I'm going to kill an old hen now..."
Zhou Xiuping still expressed her sincere gratitude.
Although she disliked her nephew Fang Hao, he had indeed saved her eldest son's life this time.
One thing at a time!
Aunt.
"No need for meals."
"I just finished eating at home... I'm going home now since I don't have anything else to do."
Fang Hao shook his head and refused.
Clearly, they weren't planning to stay any longer.
After all, he went to rescue Fang Yong because he had a good relationship with him.
My cousin is also a capable person.
In my previous life, even though I was disabled after having my limbs amputated, I still started a business at home raising prawns and crabs, and eventually made a lot of money. I was much more successful than many able-bodied people.
"This... will do!"
"Then come over for dinner tonight."
Upon seeing this.
Zhou Xiuping did not press the matter further.
Fang Hao's attitude has also changed a lot. If it were any other time, he definitely wouldn't have given him a friendly look.
……
"mom!"
"Have you noticed that Ah Hao has changed?"
Watching Fang Hao's departing figure.
Zhou Yong couldn't help but say that he felt his cousin was acting a little differently than usual.
He seems much more mature and composed!
"Transform into what?"
"Your second uncle and aunt have spoiled him rotten... This will ruin him sooner or later. If he marries and continues to waste his days, he'll only be harming the girl..."
Zhou Xiuping continued muttering.
People's preconceived notions are not so easy to change; in fact, they can be described as an insurmountable mountain.
"alright."
"Mom, don't always look at Hao with prejudice. He's not a bad person. It's just that his uncle and aunt spoiled him too much, which led him astray."
Zhou Yong said with a hint of helplessness.
He had always treated his cousin well, and never looked down on him.
"Let's not talk about that... Your foot will probably take a while to heal, and the fishing boat business might be delayed again..."
Zhou Xiuping shook her head and changed the subject.
It's clear they don't want to discuss Fang Hao too much.
After all, she wasn't the latter's parent.
at this time.
the other side.
After leaving Fang Yong's house, Fang Hao headed straight back home, whistling as he leisurely looked around at the scenery.
Most of the houses are made of brick and tile with dirt roads.
Thirty years later.
The entire village has been completely changed beyond recognition.
Every family now lives in a small villa by the sea.
The government expropriated land in the village to build a port and wharf, and also established a large industrial park, which has been developing rapidly.
"Yo!"
"Isn't this just rubbish?"
"You lied to your wife and didn't stay home to watch over her, why are you wandering around like this... Aren't you afraid she'll run away?"
A voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Fang Hao looked in the direction of the sound.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the village chief's youngest son, who was looking at him with disdain and a hint of displeasure.
Fang Hao is definitely a hoodlum and a scoundrel.
Most people in the surrounding area were afraid of him.
However, there are always exceptions!
For example, people who are capable, wealthy, and have high social standing are not afraid of him.
"Tsk tsk tsk~"
"Fang Kun! Are you jealous that I found a beautiful wife? After all, you're all grown up and haven't even held a woman's hand..."
Fang Hao smiled and teased in return.
He knew that Fang Kun also liked Song Yaxin, but he beat him to it.
So he's caused himself a lot of trouble!
"snort!"
as predicted.
Fang Kun's face immediately darkened.
Seeing that Fang Hao, that scoundrel, had actually married such a beautiful wife, he couldn't sleep all night, his heart filled with jealousy.
"Fang Kun!"
"Hurry up and ask your dad to help you find a wife. I think Cuihua next door is a nice girl, and she'd be a good match for you..."
Fang Hao continued to joke.
In the past, he might have had some reservations, since the man's father was the village chief.
As the saying goes, a local official is more powerful than a distant one!
But having been reborn, with decades of experience, why would he be afraid of a guy who hasn't even grown up yet?
"You bastard, you motherfucker..."
"what!"
"Let go of me..."
Fang Kun was about to explode and blurt out something.
Fang Hao simply put his elbow around his neck and then acted like they were best buddies.
A tall guy who's over 1.8 meters tall will definitely have a crushing advantage over a short guy who's only 1.6 meters tall.
"Don't you dare start yelling!"
"Otherwise, I can't guarantee my hands won't get itchy..."
Fang Hao's tone turned colder.
He's been messing around for so many years, he's no saint either.
In her previous life, she was somewhat restrained because she was wary of the other party's father being the village chief. Now that she's been reborn, she's not afraid at all. At worst, she'll just have her second brother-in-law step in.
"you…"
Fang Kun immediately deflated.
I originally wanted to say a few harsh words.
But after meeting Fang Hao's gaze, he decisively chose to give up, because he was genuinely afraid that the other party would teach him a lesson.
How come I never noticed before that this guy dared to be so fierce and arrogant towards me?
"Kun Kun, you need to behave yourself!"
"Don't you dare yell like that again... or I'll break your legs."
Fang Hao reached out and gently patted it.
Speaking the harshest words in the calmest tone, it's just like the GIF meme of the white-haired guy telling people to take good care of the car.
In the countryside.
You can't stand firm if you're not ruthless!
Anyway, he wasn't a good person to begin with.
If Fang Kun dares to yell at him again, he'd be willing to teach him a lesson in manners and give him a chance to grow up.
"..."
Anger flashed in Fang Kun's eyes.
However, reason allowed him to hold back.
He couldn't be sure if Fang Hao would actually beat him up.
A wise person doesn't suffer immediate losses!
We'll get our revenge later.
However, he had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
