After about 30 seconds, Fang Yunyan still pursed her lips, not planning to call him brother.
Mother Fang brought a glass of milk to Fang Yunyan. When she saw that the two of them were still close together, she immediately reprimanded, âFang Zheng, go upstairs to sleep, you are not allowed to bully your sister.â
Before leaving, Fang Zheng said, âYou donât want to call me brother, right? Okay, Iâll let you call me brother a lot.â
Fang Yunyan: ââ¦?â
Mother Fang sat in Fang Zhengâs seat and handed the hot milk to Fang Yunyan, âFang Zheng is now in the rebellious period of his youth. If he dares to provoke you again, you call Mom directly, and she will take care of him.â
Fang Yunyan finally had a smile on her face.
She nodded, âWell, thank you, mom.â
Fang Yunyan thought it was hard to say âMomâ.
But she didnât expect to say it so easily at this moment, the big stone in her heart fell, and it was more convenient to call Mom and Dad than to call Brother Fang Zheng.
That night, Fang Yunyan had another dream.
In the dream, Mother Fangâs hair on the temples was gray, and her hair was messy and her eyes were red and swollen.
Mother and Father Fang were sitting on the sofa, and there was a person kneeling in front of them⦠it was Fang Zheng.
Mother Fang smashed everything at hand at Fang Zheng, and shouted hysterically, âIf I hadnât asked the classmates one by one, I wouldnât have known that you were bullying your sister so much in school!â
âFang Zheng, do you have any heart? Nan Nan is your own sister. You stayed in your motherâs stomach together for ten months.ââ
âDo you know why we lost your sister back then? Itâs because you absorbed too many nutrients and your sister didnât grow well. She was sent to the nursery after birth. And you, crying that night for milk, if Mom didnât pay attention to you, your sister wouldnât be goneâ¦â
âMom has been looking for your sister for seventeen years, and it was hard to find her. Why canât you be nice to her? You despise the person who was lost at school saying that she doesnât deserve to be your sister?!â
âNow that your sister is dead, you are happy, arenât you? No one will embarrass you. Is your face worth a life?â
âFang Zheng, I donât think you deserve to be her brother! Get out of here, I donât want to see you now.â
Before the dream was over, Fang Yunyan woke up.
Her pillows were wet, and the fundus of her eyes showed the haggard appearance of Mother Fang.
In fact, the death of the original owner was not just the responsibility of Fang Zheng alone.
When it came to campus bullying, the entire class and even the entire school were responsible.
But the deceased was the biggest, and all this gratitude and resentment had fallen to the root. Except for relatives, others must not mention it again.
Fang Yunyan hadnât recovered from her dream, she grabbed the jade pendant her grandfather gave her, as if her grandfather was still protecting her.
With this belief, no matter how difficult the road was, she could go down step by step.
The next day, Father Fang deliberately put aside the company affairs and accompanied his wife and daughter to have afternoon tea at home.
Since her daughter called her âMomâ, she took her to familiarize herself with the environment at home.
Waiting to hear Fang Yunyanâs words, âMom, I got itâ.
The Fang family was one of the top tycoons in Q City, not to mention their old house, the villa they live in now was in the wealthy area of ââQ City.
The environment was elegant and the security system was strict. It was the first choice of many rich people.
Q City was located in the south of the country, while the small mountain village where the old man and Fang Yunyan lived was in the north.
Mother Fang was very worried at first that Fang Yunyan was not used to the food there.
Fang Yunyan said, âI canât get used to it. My grandmother is from the south and my grandfather is from the north. Grandma used to like to sing songs by the Huai River. Since I can remember, I have lived in the south. But when they got married, they were in their hometown. I heard Grandpa say that before they moved out of the house, Grandma planted a persimmon tree in the yard and said that when the tree could bear persimmons, everyone would go back. In the end, Grandma passed away from a serious illness, and only Grandpa and I went back. â
Father and Mother Fang listened to their daughter talk about her childhood.
They all pricked up their ears. They regretted missing their daughterâs education for so many years, so they cherished the present time even more.
Mother Fang said, âSo Nan Nan lived in Jiangnan since she was a child?â
âWell, after class, I went to the Huai River to sing with my grandma, while my grandfather played chess with others.â
What Fang Yunyan didnât say was that they sang there to make money, although everyone gave fifty cents or one yuan, but one hour of singing could still make more than twenty yuan.
Mother Fang smiled, âI just said that Nan Nanâs way of speaking sounds soft, like a little girl from the south of the Yangtze River.â
In fact, Fang Yunyan could speak the Wu language.
Among them, she had a good grasp of âQieyunâ and âGuangyunâ. Her grandma used to say, âMy girl sings really well. The girl has a good voice, so God rewards us food.â
(The Qieyun is a Chinese rhyme dictionary, published in 601 during the Sui dynasty. The book was a guide to proper reading of classical texts, using the fanqie method to indicate the pronunciation of Chinese characters)
(Guangyun, Chinese rime dictionary from the 11th century, containing 26,194 single-character entries.)
After talking for a while, Mother Fang finally talked about her purpose, âNan Nan is in the second year of high school this year. Itâs not long since school started. Are you planning to enroll this year, or do you want us to hire a tutor for a year and study again next year?â
