Wang Lan watched the seven or eight scoundrels being carried away by the villagers, and asked Fang Yingwu with lingering fear: "This creditor is menacing and not a kind person. What should we do?"
Fang Yingwu said helplessly: "What else can I do? It's just a matter of default."
Wang Lan was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect Fang Yingwu to be so frank, so she couldn't help but remind her: "If you want to study and make progress, you must consider your reputation. It's not good to have a reputation of being a defaulter."
Fang Yingwu smiled and secretly thought that although Sister Lan had read a lot, she was not pedantic. Otherwise, she must have said that "it is never a gentleman's behavior to be dishonest" rather than "one must consider reputation", which was a bit pragmatic.
Then he replied: "You misunderstood. It's not that I'm letting go of this debt. I'm just delaying it so as not to cause trouble at this critical moment. Besides, people's hearts are sinister. This is obviously a malicious attempt to collect debts with bad intentions."
It means cutting off my future, so I can’t be too kind about it.”
Early the next morning, before Sister Lan arrived, Fang Yingwu saw the figure of Pingting, the daughter of Wang Da's family, wandering outside the door. After the last incident of being hit with money, Fang Yingwu's view of her had changed a lot.
Mrs. Wang also saw Fang Yingwu coming out of the room and confided, "My family will leave Huaxi tomorrow."
Fang Yingwu felt that she was a little unusual today and became much gentler. He nodded and said, "I heard that your family is finally moving to the county seat?"
"No, it's not the county town, it's going to Hangzhou Prefecture. My father and his uncle are in partnership and planning to go to Hangzhou Prefecture to do business. I will go with my father."
Fang Yingwu was surprised. This rumor was wrong. The village had always said that Wang Dahu was leaving Huaxi in the near future. They only imagined that he was going to move to the county town, but they did not expect that he planned to go to Hangzhou for business and would have to go so far away at once.
place.
The person who partnered with Wang Dewang's big family should be Wang Kui who once wanted to recruit him into the partnership. Could it be that Wang Kui encouraged Wang Dahu to do business?
He also thought that Wang Dahu transferred his debt to cash, not necessarily to repair himself intentionally, but also to clean up non-performing assets before leaving. After all, he has to do business, and of course the more capital the better.
It seems that Miss Wang came to see me today to say goodbye, so Fang Yingwu cupped her hands and said blessing: "Along the Qingxi River, three hundred miles away is Hangzhou, with faint green mountains and long waterways. I wish your house all the best."
Mrs. Wang's eyes flashed, "Don't you want to say something else? I begged my father, as long as you are willing to follow us, you don't have to worry about being looked down upon by the villagers when you go to other places; he has paid off all your debts for you.
, no one will ask you for debt again."
Fang Yingwu knew that Mrs. Wang meant well, but he could never agree to it. Firstly, it was impossible for him to marry someone else, especially a future businessman. Secondly, he had no fame and no family, so how could he withstand such good intentions?
Fang Yingwu sighed and said, "Your father is willing to agree to this because he knows that I will not agree."
Mrs. Wang almost cried, "My family has been so kind to you, are you so hard-hearted? Isn't my family worthy of your nostalgia? Can't you just accept it once?"
Fang Yingwu was distressed and speechless. She, a teenage girl, had a very wrong mentality and was too blind to love. This is not something you can achieve by just throwing yourself into it. Only wealthy families who don’t have to worry about life can produce this kind of things.
Just a simple woman.
Fang Yingwu, who has a mental age of at least twenty-five, had to play the role of a psychological counselor and advised with sincerity: "First love is the sweetest, but first love is the most immature and unreliable. It should be noted that delicate flowers are the least weathered.
.Human life is still very long..."
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but scolded her before she finished listening: "Nonsense! What kind of fallacy is this? Shouldn't a person be unwavering in their feelings, as strong as gold and stone? It's not the behavior of a good daughter to change her feelings at every turn!"
This... this... Fang Yingwu was stunned. Was she right? Was she wrong?
Comparing them with each other, Fang Yingwu suddenly felt that his character was too vulgar, his thoughts were too impure, and his mind was filled with too many debris, which was far less pure and beautiful than hers.
For some reason, Fang Yingwu was very annoyed by these discoveries and casually vented: "You are always unable to communicate. Even if you can get my body, you can't get my heart!"
Seeing that she had made Fang Yingwu depressed, which was rare, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel a little proud. For a moment, she forgot about the sadness of farewell and continued to choke: "But your heart is in your body!"
This sentence choked Fang Yingwu again. He had to bring out the ultimate killer weapon and said with utmost sincerity: "Actually, I have always regarded you as my sister."
Mrs. Wang said even more proudly: "What nonsense are you talking about? If we talk about life carefully, I am half a month older than you!"
A disastrous defeat! A complete disastrous defeat! A complete disastrous defeat! Fang Yingwu sat on the stone bench under the shade of the tree, taking a few breaths and being speechless.
Miss Wang sat on the other side of the stone bench, looking up at the canopy of trees. She was silent for a while and then said: "Actually, I understand your thoughts. You think I am too young and ignorant. Then I will wait for you for three years."
In three years’ time, the slave family will be quite old. By then..."
Fang Yingwu felt something touched his heart, and he felt a sour and sour taste. He couldn't bear to say "no" to the person in front of him again, so he nodded and said, "Okay! I will agree with you for three years. Within three years,
I won’t marry either.”
Watching Mrs. Wang leave Shanghuaxi Village, accompanied by her old family, looking back three times at a time, Fang Yingwu held the brocade handkerchief she had "forgotten" on the stone bench. He felt as if there was dust in his eyes and really wanted to lower his head and wipe it away.
.But then I saw two colorful characters embroidered on the brocade handkerchief, which read "Wang Yu".
Why did I become childish? Fang Yingwu smiled bitterly and scolded himself. Unexpectedly, he inadvertently experienced the feelings of a teenager again today.
Three years, three years, this year is the year of the rural examination, and there is a cycle of three years, so three years later, the 16th year of Chenghua will happen to be the year of the rural examination. If he can pass the examination as a scholar according to the plan, and pass the county's scientific examination, then he
In three years time, it will be time to go to Hangzhou Prefecture to take the Zhejiang Provincial Examination.
After a while, Sister Lan also came from Zhonghuaxi Village. Seeing Fang Yingwu holding the brocade handkerchief in a daze, he asked: "I met Sister Yu on the road just now. Did she come from you?"
Fang Yingwu replied truthfully: "Yes, we made a three-year agreement. If I don't marry within three years, she won't marry."
"Sister Yu is a good woman." Wang Lan had mixed feelings in her heart and could only form this sentence.
Fang Yingwu stuffed the brocade handkerchief into his arms, took the book from her hand, and touched the back of her smooth hand, jokingly saying: "You are no worse than her. Besides, the agreement is that I won't marry, but it's not
You can rest assured that I won’t take concubines.”
That day, she was studying until evening again. Wang Lan tidied up and went home. Fang Yingwu sent her to the entrance of the village, but she saw Fang Fengshi coming in a hurry with a servant.
When he arrived, Fang Fengshi said hurriedly: "My dear husband, this messenger is from the county. The county government has received a complaint, accusing you of not paying back the debt and beating the debt collector. The day after tomorrow, the county government will
On the day when your Majesty sits in court to hear the case, I will send you a message to come to court."
Fang Yingwu suddenly realized that those scoundrels who came to harass people must have done it deliberately. They were probably waiting to be beaten, and then filing a complaint could add a charge of beating the debt collector.
But no matter what, I have already prepared for it. If the soldiers come, I will stop it, and if the water comes, the soil will cover it! Once this matter is taken care of, you can prepare for the county examination without any distractions.
