Chapter 842: Chapter 181: Divorced You_2

Fang Fu frowned as he listened, noticing the glance he cast towards Mo Heng, somewhat helpless. These two still couldn’t see eye to eye, seizing every opportunity to belittle and malign each other. After a moment, he spoke to Pei Qin, "Let’s not tell your grandparents about this for now, if your grandfather finds out, it would lead to another fight."

"Then he should behave himself. If he becomes the butt of a joke, it’s just a matter of being laughed at, but if it leads to someone’s death, he would be gone for good, and Fang Liuming can just come home to observe mourning like Pei Wenli!" Pei Qin felt her fists itch at the mention of the scumbag.

Fang Fu shuddered, "I will persuade him!" Without staying any longer, he continued searching for Fang Li.

Fang Li didn’t have money, and he didn’t believe that visiting the brothel once or twice without paying was possible; after all, he was an elder, visiting without money was embarrassing, and he didn’t return all night. After some thought, he rode the donkey back to the village with Fang Zhi.

As Fang Fu met them, he frowned upon seeing them together. Fang Zhi was lazy and idle, always loafing around; no wonder the elder brother went to the brothel—it was with him. He quickly grabbed Fang Li and started lecturing and advising him.

Fang Li was very impatient and yelled to go home, to go home and rest with Lady Yu.

Fang Zhi, seeing Fang Fu give him not a single smile, and looking down on him, added his own advice from the side, ’...After all, Brother Fang is the head of the family, a man whose face has been slapped by a woman, his pride wounded, feeling indignant. It just takes letting the sister-in-law admit her fault to get past this indignation, then the couple will be fine again."

This was clearly stirring up trouble; the sister-in-law hadn’t said anything, and just because she did not inform Brother Fang where Dalang was appointed, Brother Fang angrily hit her. Then he argued fiercely with dad and still thought of making his brother apologize!? Fang Fu coldly glanced at him, "You know nothing of the details, why speak at all!?"

Fang Zhi became angry, "Brother Fang is hurt, has no food to eat outside, and not even someone to ask about him or care a bit, and it’s still Brother Fang’s fault!? Fights don’t blame one alone; the man is the pillar of the home, the sky of the family. The woman should placate first with a bit of affection, then isn’t it okay for the couple to reconcile!?"

Fang Fu scoffed, "Fang Zhi! My elder brother doesn’t even know which way the brothel faces. You colluded with him to visit those places. I haven’t settled this account with you yet!"

Fang Zhi’s expression tensed, "Fang Fu, you are a scholar too, speaking nonsense without proof! Who went to visit brothels!?"

"If you don’t want people to know, don’t do it yourself." Fang Fu took over the donkey, pulling Fang Li aside.

Fang Li had never visited a brothel; exposed by Fang Fu, he felt guilty and was dragged away, yet he argued, "I’m injured, where could I have visited a brothel!? You are talking nonsense, younger brother!"

"You dare say you haven’t been, yet you reek of powder!" Fang Fu angrily said, "If you go home and let mom and dad find out, you won’t escape a beating!"

Fang Li hurriedly sniffed himself, indeed catching the scent of powder, and defiantly said, "Then you go tattle!"

Fang Fu couldn’t help but lecture him, "It wasn’t the sister-in-law who tattled before. You hit her, a handprint on her face, do you think mom and dad are too blind to see that!? The sister-in-law even denied it, covering for you. What kind of person is Fang Zhi? Lazy, idle, and loafing around. You follow him, today he takes you to a brothel, tomorrow to a gambling house! He has no money, so he connects with outsiders to waste your funds! How can you join him!?"

"How do you know they are wasting funds! It was just a night outside!" Fang Li dismissed.

Fang Fu led the donkey, saying no more to him.

Fang Li thought for a moment, then said, "Younger brother, don’t tell mom and dad."

"There’s no wall that doesn’t leak; if I don’t tell, mom and dad will find out sooner or later," Fang Fu replied moodily.

"If you don’t tell, then no one will know!" Fang Li snapped.

Fang Fu snorted, "Big brother, you’d better go home and apologize to mom, dad, and the sister-in-law! The sister-in-law you hit still has a swollen face! Dad is sick from anger! When you and Fang Zhi ran off to visit a brothel, did you ever think about the disgrace it would bring, losing Dalang’s face!"

Fang Li pursed his lips and said nothing.

When he arrived home, the Old Scholar Fang and Grandma Fang were not at home. Lady Yu’s face was still unwell, and she was busy with household chores. Seeing him return, she hurried out.

Fang Li glanced at her with disgust and went directly to his room to change clothes.

Angered, Lady Yu went back to the kitchen to work, ignoring him.

Fang Liuyang put down his pen and ran over, "Dad!?"

Upon hearing him, Fang Li called him over, "Go wash these clothes for me!"

Fang Liuyang came over with a frown, "Dad, where were you last night? Everyone at home was going crazy looking for you."
