The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 180

Fang Jiusheng interrogated Liu's mother and son, and all he got was that Xu Lingqiao despised their poor family. He also said that a senior official had come to the town in the past two days, and had come to the shop on two days and met Xu Lingqiao twice when she was walking around the yard. He was afraid that -

"What are you afraid of? You and your son are so vicious. My sister's family is upright. How can you villains make random guesses?"

Liu was furious, and she clung to Fang Jiusheng, ready to beat and scold him, "Your sister is good, she is good in every way, but she didn't help you at all when she married him. Now she is dead, and your two children are like a disaster to me again--"

"shut up!"

When Fang Jiusheng heard Liu mention his beautiful sister who died young, he felt extremely sad.

"You are really blind. When you came into the family, my sister respected you and gave you half of the betrothal gift from the Xu family. Without this, how could our shop have been established? I have warned you many times about the disgusting things you and your son have been thinking about, but you were so bold that you actually took advantage of my absence. Tell me, where is she now? If it is really unpredictable whether she lives or dies, and you can't tell me where she is, I will treat her as dead and report to the police! From now on, the life and death of you and your son have nothing to do with me and Erlang!"

Hearing what Fang Jiusheng, who was always gentle, said, Liu was stunned.

She couldn't believe it and asked, "We have been married for thirty years, and you actually didn't care about anything and supported that little bitch. I told you, that little bitch is just like her mother. She was just favored by the son of a wealthy family and pursued by her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Jiusheng slapped him hard in the face.

He picked up the ruler and beat his eldest son, who was standing nearby and dared not say a word. At the end of the beating, he still said the same thing, "Three days ago, my cousin took the maid and stole the money from our home and ran away secretly."

How could Fang Jiusheng believe it?

He was about to leave when Erlang saw him and ran over to stop him, "Dad... I want to go with you to look for my cousin."

What are you looking for?

Fang Jiusheng's face was filled with sorrow. "I'll report to the police. Your cousin is a weak woman. Where can she go? She might have been killed and buried, or sold..." At this point, he burst into tears. "How can I face Ling Bai when he comes back? This family... is broken up."

As a man, he naturally knew what his unpromising eldest son was thinking. He had thought that Dalang was young, a widower, and had a daughter, and that his life had lost its ambition. He had been looking for a suitable woman for him, so he would marry her off to put his mind at ease.

Who could have thought that ever since Xu Lingbai and his sister came to live with him, he has been staring at his cousin with bright eyes.

Who is Xu Lingbai?

Passing the imperial examination means she has one foot in the officialdom. How could he allow his sister to get involved with a businessman like him? What's more, his niece is fair-skinned, beautiful, well-mannered, sensible and knowledgeable.

A person who cannot even be thought of.

On the second night after Xu Lingbai arrived, his wife Liu said to him on the bed, "I'm thinking of marrying off my niece. My niece's parents are not around, so she will inevitably be bullied. It's better for her to stay with me. I don't have a daughter, so I will definitely love and spoil her—"

As soon as Liu expressed her thoughts, Fang Jiu angrily scolded her in a low voice.

"How can the two of them be suitable for each other? Dalang is neither high nor low, he has no ability in studying, and he is not good at business. How dare you think so! Don't mention it again in the future. Ling Bai is smart. If he knew, he would definitely move out with Ling Qiao. How can I face my poor sister then!"

Xu Lingbai made it clear when he came to live with his relatives.

"The mistress at home wants to arrange a marriage for Ling Qiao, but she is not a good match. I don't want to let her marry into a poor family, but I am worried about my relatives, so I have to keep her by my side." These words were said clearly, and Fang Jiusheng, Liu and their two sons heard them clearly.

At home, Fang Jiusheng is very caring towards Xu Lingbai and his sister.

Liu and Fang Dalang did not dare to act rashly and they seemed to be getting along fine on the surface. Later, Xu Lingbai saw that his uncle's family was not bad. It happened that Longen Academy had invited three great scholars of the time to give lectures. Xu Lingbai received the letter and in order to take part in this year's special examination, he used his relationship with his old classmates and barely got a place to attend the lectures. However, Longen Academy seemed to have strict rules and did not allow outsiders to bring in relatives.

After Xu Lingqiao learned about it, she comforted her brother, "My uncle and aunt treat me like their own child. I will wait for you here for more than a month, which is also acceptable. Brother, please don't let me hinder your future."

The brother and sister have always depended on each other. Xu Lingbai thought carefully and realized that this was not someone else's home. Although the two families had seldom interacted since their mother's death, her uncle was kind-hearted and would definitely protect her sister.

With these plans in mind, he said goodbye to Fang Jiusheng and his wife, packed up his simple luggage and went to Longen Academy alone.

Now that Fang Jiusheng has returned from collecting mountain products and received such news, how can he not panic!

Fang Erlang grabbed him and said, "Dad, let's look for her again. Maybe my cousin just left in anger. It's not that serious..."

"Go ask your mother yourself. Her eyes are flickering and wandering. Then look at your elder brother. She hasn't dared to look at me from beginning to end... I'm afraid that your cousin is in danger." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but burst into tears. No matter how defensive you are, you can't guard against a thief in your own home.

Liu caught up and just heard this.

She tore at Fang Jiusheng's clothes and started crying.

"My kindness is truly not rewarded. I was reluctant to give the delicious food to my granddaughter, but carried it to her room and treated her like a rich lady, yet she still blamed me." After a while of crying and making a fuss, Fang Jiusheng was dragged back by his two sons.

Fang Dalang said in a muffled voice, "Why don't we find some more men and go look for it in the mountains?"

Until now, this is the only way.

Fang Jiusheng wiped his tears and said, "I'm sorry, sister. Erlang, please find a faster ox cart and go to Longen Academy to report the news."

Liu stopped her, "You are being unfair to your sister. Bai Ge'er is studying right now. How can it be so easy to get into Longen Academy? If you go and tell him, Bai Ge'er will definitely give up his studies and come out. If there is any mistake in the exam, not only will you lose face, but I, your aunt, will not dare to talk to your sister even if I go to hell."

Fang Dalang came forward and knelt in front of his father, "Dad, my cousin is just a scholar, what can he do out here? Why don't we look for him everywhere, so that he can rest assured."

Seeing that dusk was approaching, the mother and daughter pulled Fang Jiusheng and left to report to the police. Fang Dalang's six-year-old daughter Moer also pulled her grandfather's hand and said, "It's dark, Grandpa, don't go out. Go tomorrow."

Fang Jiusheng couldn't stop crying, but he couldn't get up.

"You are so heartless that you have harmed my niece!" But what else can he do? He can only find a way to find his niece, otherwise how can he explain to his nephew -
