Chapter 242 The deal is broken
The next morning, Grandpa Fang brought his two grandsons and borrowed an ox cart from the Li family to deliver the self-heating meals that the whole family had worked hard to prepare all night to the city.
One hundred copies! Mr. Fang was excited just thinking about it. If the deal was done, the money he would get would be enough for the whole family to live on for a few days!
The three of them came to Changfeng Escort Agency and explained their purpose, but the people at the door did not let them in.
"Go tell the leading escort that I was here yesterday. He must know!"
The person who stopped him waved his hand and said, "It's useless to look for anyone else. I'm talking to you. Our escort agency doesn't want these things anymore!"
Mr. Fang was anxious: "We agreed on this yesterday. Our whole family worked all night. How can you just say no to all this stuff?"
The young escort sneered, "You should ask yourselves, why don't you ask before doing business? Do you think I don't want to have a hot meal? But you don't even look at whose store this is!"
Old Master Fang still didn't understand. He thought for a moment, fished out some silver from his pocket, and secretly slipped it to the young escort: "Tell me, what's going on? Such a big business is gone, you have to let me know why, otherwise how can I do it in the future?"
The young escort weighed the silver in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and lowered his voice.
"What else could it be? Did you offend the Wang family? You're just not paying attention, don't you know? Our Changfeng Escort Agency is owned by Landlord Wang!"
Old Master Fang’s face turned pale.
He only knew that the landlord Wang's family was rich, but he would never go from house to house to ask about their business. As a result, he just happened to run into this escort agency. What he didn't expect was that the Wang family was actually so ruthless!
The self-heating rice business was definitely a failure. He was at a loss and his two grandsons were helpless. They could only drive the ox cart back as it was. He wanted to find his son quickly to think of a solution.
The other party is trying to force them to death!
After returning home, the other members of the Fang family listened to what Grandpa Fang said, and then looked at the ox cart full of untouched self-heating rice, and they all felt dizzy!
"Has Miss Wang come today?" Old Master Fang came back to his senses while sitting on the chair and asked.
Fang Jin's face darkened and he shook his head grimly. He had thought of it now.
"I see. I was just wondering why they didn't come today. It seems they want us to go and beg them!"
Mrs. Fang was wiping her tears when she heard this and quickly asked, "Beg? Will begging work? Then why don't we go and beg them to let us do business?"
Old Master Fang was speechless. "It's not as simple as you think! What do you mean by 'begging'? That's asking for someone's hand in marriage! If we really go, the boss will have to marry Miss Wang!"
Only then did Old Mrs. Fang understand. When she thought of the appearance of Miss Wang, even if she was the mother-in-law, if she really had a daughter-in-law like that, she would not know how to torture her every day!
At this time, she missed He the most. This daughter-in-law, He, was at least capable and obedient, and did almost nothing bad for the old couple.
How did this house become like this?!
The whole family didn’t know what to do, but at least Fang Jin knew that he would never marry Miss Wang!
"I don't want to. At worst, our family can just endure it and eat coarse food for a while. The county exam will be in March next year, and I'll just have to wait until I pass it!"
Fang Jin felt that the Wang family could force them like this now simply because his fame and honor had been stripped away and he was just an ordinary scholar. Even if he went to the patriarch of the Fang family to ask for help, the patriarch could not do anything to the rich and powerful landlord Wang.
The other members of the Fang family couldn't think of any solution, so they could only agree with Fang Jin's words and endure it for as long as they could.
Fang Nanzhi knew nothing about these things. She lived her life step by step. After finishing her homework at the academy every day, she had to memorize prescriptions.
She has memorized all the herbs and their properties that were taught to her, and has now started learning how to take a pulse from her husband.
Dr. Zhou didn't put any pressure on her at the beginning, thinking that she could learn as much as she could, but no one expected that she was still very interested in what she was learning.
Even a little too much like it.
The weather was cold, and when Qin Yan sneezed, the little girl stared at him.
"Brother, are you sick? Let me take your pulse!"
Before Qin Yan could react, his hand was held down, and he said in a serious tone: "I'll prescribe a prescription for you after taking your pulse..."
He pulled his hand back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"No need, brother didn't catch a cold, maybe someone was talking about him."
Fang Nanzhi stared at his brother for a while and indeed did not seem to be sick. He felt a little sorry for him, but he still took his pulse and wrote down the pulse condition.
Well, the doctor always said that practicing medicine requires not only learning, but also more observation, "to truly understand it, one must practice it yourself", but she hopes that everyone around her is healthy!
While she was writing, Qin Yan's system started ringing: "Ding ding, help your little sister become a famous doctor. Reward: a roll of toilet paper, health +2, and trading coin +1!"
It's been like this recently. He also gets +2 health points and +1 trading coin when tutoring his sister. He has saved up quite a bit over the past few days.
Naturally, the toilet paper appeared on Fang Nanzhi's side. She scratched her head when she heard the reminder.
This is not the first time she has received it. At the beginning, she specifically asked the system brother what it was for, and only then did she know that the gods actually used such good paper for toilet use!
When she gave it to the whole family, no one was willing to use it because it was paper!
But Qin Yan said that such soft paper could not be used for anything, and since they could get a roll almost every day, Qian Fengping did not stop them. The whole family used it secretly, usually keeping it in the cabinet in the house and secretly tearing off a little when going to the toilet.
You know what, it’s really comfortable and clean to use!
Fang Nanzhi saw that it was toilet paper and ignored it. He turned around and thought of his second uncle and quickly went to find him.
"Second uncle, let me take your pulse!"
Fang Yinke was much more obedient and stretched out her hand when asked. Fang Nanzhi took his pulse for a long time, but she could only remember how it felt. She couldn't figure out what the problem was with her second uncle.
She was not in a hurry. After she finished taking notes, she went to find someone else to take the pulse. She went around and took the pulse of everyone in the family. Everyone in the family also doted on her.
Tiezhu praised the little girl: "You're amazing! You've learned how to diagnose and take pulses so quickly!"
Fang Tong laughed awkwardly: "Just let her touch it, don't praise her, she's still far from it."
Tiezhu doesn't think so: "If I have a child in the future, I'll be thankful if one is half as adored as Zhizhi."
Fang Tong looked puzzled: "You don't even have a wife, you haven't even started dating yet, and you're still dreaming of having a child. What are you dreaming of?"
Unexpectedly, Tiezhu just scratched his head, smiled foolishly and said nothing.
Yo? Is there something going on?
Fang Tong quickly asked if he had met a girl from a certain family, but Tiezhu refused to say.
