Chapter 548: Your Mingxia Has Disappeared

ey could kill a fly.She knew that Fangjia Village was unlikely to have any grain."Girl, I can't use up the last of our village's food stores for a trade."Even if we had water, the entire village would...Fang Dazhu still felt that something was wrong, but his wife's words made sense.

"Indeed, her wings are harder now. Now that she sees us, she doesn't even call us 'mother and father'. Does she really intend to disown us"

Wang Xiumei spat fiercely.

"She dares!"

For the first time, Fang Dazhu didn't agree with his wife. He felt, that dead girl was really bold.

"By the way, where's Mingxia Where did that little rascal disappear to this early in the morning"

Wang paced around the house, muttering to herself again.

"Running around all day, not doing any work! You've raised nothing but debt collectors."

Her loud yelling woke Fang Jianren, who was sleeping in the room. He was furious and immediately pushed open the window, glaring as he shouted.

"Are you finished already"

"Mom, can you please speak a little quieter so I can get some sleep"

He spent the entire night with his sweetheart, Xiao Lan, at Chunhua Building in town last night. He is about to marry that ugly woman from the Liu family.

After getting married, in order to get a lucrative position from his uncle, Liu Yuanwai, he would definitely have to pretend to be affectionate with the ugly daughter of the Liu family for a while and act like a loving couple for a period of time.

For a long time, he could no longer see his beloved Xiao Lan.

Fang Jianren didn't get up from the soft bed until just before dawn. When he returned home, he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. However, he hadn't slept for long when he was woken up by his parents' voices.

Wang Xiumei saw that her son had dark circles under his eyes and looked haggard. She rushed over, both anxious and worried.

"My son, what's wrong with your face Why are you looking so pale"

"Today, the Liu family is coming to take you to your wedding. Can you still get married like this"

Fang Dazhu also walked over, glanced at his son's face, and as a man, he immediately understood, his face turned stern.

He pointed at him with an iron-willed expression, "You!"

"What good can I say about you"

"You're getting married soon, and you're still going to that kind of place."

"Can't you just bear it"

Fang Jianren gave a nonchalant shrug. "What's there to endure Xiaolan isn't taking my money anyway."

"She really likes me."

"The thought of having to sleep in a bed with that ugly woman named Liu for such a long time makes me sick."

"Father, I've suffered enough. For this last night at least, of course I must have a good time with Xiaolan!"

Fang Dazhu simply couldn't hear his son's vulgar language.

Our family has never taken in a woman of loose morals.

Even without Liu's daughter, your mother and I would never let you marry a woman from the brothel!

"You and that little Lan, it's best to break up sooner rather than later."

"Even if Liu Jia's girl isn't beautiful, she's still a respectable young lady. What is that Xiaolan"

Fang Jianren was indignant. "That's called a bosom friend!"

"Which scholar doesn't have a beautiful confidante to add fragrance to their books Forget it, you wouldn't understand these things anyway!"

"Go go go, don't bother me sleeping."

"When the Liu family arrives, call me."

After he finished speaking, he slammed the door shut.

Fang Dazhu snorted, turned his head and walked out the door.

Wang Xiumei hurriedly stopped him, "Where are you going again You haven't had breakfast yet."

Fang Dazhu, thinking of the watery and bland food at home now, had no appetite even if he was hungry. He simply waved his hand dismissively.

"No more, no more. I'm going to take a look at Zhao Village Head's place. What on earth did he discuss with that dead girl"

Wang Xiumei also wanted to go, but when she turned her head, she saw that there were so many chores left at home. The rice hadn't been cooked, the clothes hadn't been washed, and no one had gone to collect firewood. She felt frustrated all of a sudden.

He grumbled and cursed incessantly while working, leaving Fang Mingxia utterly humiliated.

When all three Fang sisters were together, Wang XiuMei scolded Fang Jinxiu the most, and later Fang Xiaochao.

Wang Xiumei didn't know at all that Fang Mingxia hadn't come back all night.

Only Fang Dazhu, when he passed through the village on his way to Zhao's house, stopped by his neighbors to inquire about his eldest daughter.

"I don't know, but last night I seemed to see your Mingxia at the door of Village Chief Zhao talking with your Jinshu and your son-in-law for a long time."

"Hey, where's your Mingxia gone"

Fang Dazhu glared coldly at the man, "Go to your crow's mouth, it's your family who is missing."

He huffed and puffed, hands on his hips, speeding up as he walked towards the Zhao family's home.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Could Fang Jinxiu, that little wretch, have taken a dislike to her elder sister and had Mingxia kidnapped of my brothers.""Fang Jinshu nodded. "I understand what you're saying, but so much gold, if it were divided equally among your tribe, that would be quite a wealthy tribe indeed.""For such a large sum...
