Chapter 689 Always Heart-Wrenching (3)_1
Old Scholar Fang also intended to send Fang Liuyang to school, but he was still young, and didn’t have the restraint of his older grandson. Letting him stay at school, with no self-control and lacking guidance, he feared that Liuyang would cause trouble and waste his time. After all, they couldn’t keep someone around just to look after him.
Grandma Fang also said, "It definitely won’t do for Er Lang to live in the town by himself. He won’t even have anyone to take care of him, let alone someone who could wash his clothes or ensure he eats properly. He can’t control himself; he always wants to play!"
Fang Li, now, was looking forward to two things. He hoped his eldest son would abandon the idea of marrying Pei Qian and instead marry a daughter of the Official’s family in Capital Jingcheng, which could also lend him support. He wished his younger son could also excel in his studies like his elder brother and successfully pass the examinations. He pursed his lips and said, "Wouldn’t it be perfect for him to stay at Qinqin’s place? After all, they have a bunch of maids and servants, and with Wendong and the others gone to the county school, only a few of them are left at home, so they wouldn’t need much help. It would be convenient for Er Lang to live there and for him to be tutored!"
"Qinqin doesn’t owe you anything; why should she educate your eldest and also take care of your youngest!?" Lady Yu was angry as soon as she heard him speak. She was infuriated that he was not concerned about their daughter’s urgent issues and had his mind on irrelevant matters.
"We’re relatives, and you always say we’re one family. We’ve given them plenty of good things that we couldn’t consume ourselves. What’s the big deal about tutoring Er Lang a bit? Besides, he’s still a little kid and doesn’t eat much! And if he really goes to their home, wouldn’t we send them lots of things from time to time?" According to Fang Li, Pei Qin’s family had not failed to take advantage of their family’s generosity, feasting on the best they had to offer.
Lady Yu, pointing at Fang Li, said to her youngest son, "This is a negative example! If you have the same mindset as your father and behave like him, I’ll break your legs early on!"
