Chapter 837: Chapter 180: Unaware of Good and Bad

Fang Li was seething with anger, and upon returning home, he sought out Lady Yu to ask, "Where is Dalang holding an official position?"

"I don’t know!" Lady Yu truly didn’t know.

Fang Li reached out intending to hit her, "You wench! You might have gotten Dalang killed! And you still won’t say a word!?"

"You want to hit me!?" Lady Yu glared back.

"What if I do?!" Fang Li, further infuriated by her glare, grabbed her by the shoulders, "Where exactly is Dalang?"

Lady Yu was really irritated with him now, too. When their family was poor, he just had some minor faults. But as they became wealthier and more problems arose, his worst traits swelled. He was irresponsible, negligent, short-sighted, and petty. If he had been content with their fortune, it would have been fine, but he was not. He mistakenly thought he understood everything and was always bustling about.

Seeing his behavior, Lady Yu was angry. She shook off his hand, "Where Dalang has gone is for you to find out, you’re his father, the big master. Go search!"

"You wench, now you really don’t consider me at all, thinking you’re so capable, forgetting who is in charge of this house!?" Fang Li said through clenched teeth, slapping her across the ear with a smack.

Lady Yu felt an intense ringing in her half head, her ear burning with pain. She glared at him while covering her ear, "If you can manage the household, then do it! Let’s see if our family doesn’t fall apart in your hands!"

Although Fang Li disapproved of Lady Yu, as a couple who had been together for many years under the watch of Old Scholar Fang and Grandma Fang, physical confrontation with Lady Yu was rare, and he felt a bit guilty after hitting her. But her words ignited his hatred. His father said he was wasteful, and even this wretched woman said he would ruin the family. Were they not planning to leave the family in his hands? Seeing that Lady Yu did not cower and dared to defy him, as if she did not see him as a real man, and knowing she was in charge of everything at home fueled his hatred more. Gnashing his teeth, his eyes fierce, he snarled, "You wench! I’m capable enough, I’ll divorce you!"

"Then divorce me! Divorce me and see how capable you are!" Lady Yu retorted fiercely, her teeth clenched.

"You just wait!" Fang Li pointed at her, leaving threatening words before turning away.

Lady Yu’s eyes were bloodshot with anger. If not for Fang Li’s nonsense, how great would the Fang family’s days be?

When Fang Li returned home, he didn’t dare to seek Old Scholar Fang, so he went to Grandma Fang, "Where is Dalang holding a position?"

Grandma Fang wouldn’t tell him either, angrily saying, "I don’t know!"

Seeing her irritated demeanor, Fang Li grew even more upset, "None of you will tell me, I’ll find out myself!" Nobody in the family listened to him, they all thought Pei Qin and her lot were great. Wait until Dalang gets hurt, they’ll regret it then!

After wandering around a full circle and unable to find anyone to inquire from, Fang Li was fuming with frustration.

"Brother Fang! What’s the matter? You seem terribly upset."

A crisp laugh reached him, and Fang Li turned to look.

The widow from the village, Widow Yang, was smiling sweetly at Fang Li.

Fang Li snorted lightly, glancing in the direction of his home, his rage showing clear as day.

Widow Yang followed his gaze, chuckling, "Brother Fang, did you have another argument with your sister-in-law?"

The mention of Lady Yu made Fang Li’s face even more unattractive.

"If you ask me, sister-in-law is one of the best in the village, not only virtuous and capable but also mother to a successful son. Now, with the Sweet Potato Flour Workshop, many come to her for management. Brother Fang, don’t be angry with her. A good wife like her, you won’t find again." Widow Yang chuckled, trying to console him.

Suddenly, Fang Li turned and glared at her, "Hmph! In our Fang family, she’s the one making all decisions, leaving no room for me, the man of the house!"

"Oh, Brother Fang, look at how fierce you seem. It’s just a quibble between spouses, how much animosity could there be!" Widow Yang continued with a laugh, patting him lightly.

Fang Li huffed angrily.

Widow Yang’s eyes shifted slightly, and with a smile, she said, "You’re all worked up like a bull, and you’ve gone dry at the mouth, come inside and finish your tea!"

Fang Li wouldn’t budge.

Widow Yang tugged at him, "Come inside and have a cup of tea, calm down a bit! Later, if sister-in-law comes by and sees you in this mood, are you going to fight with her?"

Fang Li, grumbling with anger, allowed her to pull him into a yard in the nearby alley.

After drinking two cups of tea and listening to Widow Yang tell funny stories for a while, along with her advice, Fang Li felt a bit better. He seldom laid a hand on Lady Yu, the last time being when she had secretly sent money to Mother Peiqin. He pursed his lips, prepared to return home and give Lady Yu a chance to make amends. If she apologized first and once again sided with him, encouraging their son to return to Capital Jingcheng, he would forgive her.
