Chapter 408 -408 Nightmare
The problem was that Fang Xiaoshan’s nightmare wasn’t over yet, without getting the 5,000 yuan, there was no way those usurers were going to let him off.
The next day, they showed up just the same. The elderly patriarch refused to even meet with them directly. Fang Lao Da and his wife really had no money to give and had no choice but to hide. Left alone, the grandmother was weak and powerless, and her tears and pleas were useless. If crying could get you out of dealing with usurers, they wouldn’t be called usurers.
They dragged Fang Xiaoshan out and after a brutal beating, Fang Xiaoshan’s other leg was also broken.
After agonizing pain, Fang Xiaoshan finally understood that his grandfather had hardened his heart and decided to ignore him.
He blamed heaven and earth and secretly vowed that once his leg healed and he was feeling better, he would take revenge, one by one, starting with his second uncle. If it weren’t for Fang Jianping’s refusal to help, the old man would never have been so merciless. Fang Jianping definitely wouldn’t have an easy time.
The next target was the old man. He always talked nicely, claiming that Fang Xiaoshan was the only grandchild in the family; but when it really mattered, the old man was just as selfish. If the patriarch had simply asked, the second uncle would have had to cough up the money.
Without any self-reflection, he blamed everyone else. Such people never repent even upon death.
The third and fourth don’t even need to be discussed; Fang Xiaoshan hated everyone in the family in his heart.
Regrettably, his chance to repay debts and settle grievances never arrived. A month later, seeing that Fang Xiaoshan’s family was willing to watch him be beaten but not moved to help, except for his wife who initially cried a bit but probably became numb and later didn’t even shed tears.
As a result, the usurers could not recover the 5,000 yuan and were also frustrated.
On a dark and windy night.
A fire completely engulfed the Fang Family home.
A huge fire consumed the Fang Family house, and Fang Xiaoshan was severely injured in the spine from the beatings, permanently paralyzing him in bed.
Aside from Fang Xiaoshan, other members of the Fang Family were unharmed, but the Fang Family was utterly ruined.
All that was left of their home were ruins, essentially nothing remained.
The village couldn’t simply watch and do nothing.
Therefore, they had no choice but to temporarily lend them an abandoned cave near the mountain in the village to live in, it was just temporary anyway. Since the family had able-bodied members, they could always save enough money to build a house; starvation was impossible.
At that time, Fang Jianping returned. Fang Lao Da hoped that Fang Jianping could provide the money to rebuild the house, for if it were up to him and his wife to save the money, it would take many years. Now that Fang Xiaoshan couldn’t move, and the grandparents seemed to have aged overnight, not able to work efficiently.
The daughter-in-law had run away again, leaving only the couple to support the frail and young in the household.
The two of them couldn’t possibly manage.
So, seeing Fang Jianping return, they eagerly hoped he would quickly produce the money to rebuild the house and restore the household.
Fang Lao Da was full of grievances, feeling that it was the second son’s refusal to give money that led to the current situation, leaving his own son bedridden and their house gone.
He felt that Fang Jianping should pay them.
So when he saw Fang Jianping, he could hardly recognize him as the same person anymore.
The old man sighed upon seeing Fang Jianping. 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
“Second son, why have you come back? No worries, all these troubles at home are Fang Xiaoshan’s fault. It’s actually good that the house burned down. It was originally built with your money, and now it seems like it has been reclaimed by heaven,” the old man surprisingly held no grievances.
Fang Jianping was puzzled.
