Chapter 12 Treated Her with Kindness

After several days of confrontation, the battle ended with a resounding victory for Mrs. Wang.

Du Yuheng still left early and returned late as usual. She took care of Fang Tong's meals and administered medication. During the day, he diligently worked at the medical clinic, and at night, he studied medical books until the wee hours.

Fang Tong's health improved rapidly, and she was now able to walk a few steps. However, to keep her family unaware, she still lay in bed during the daytime. She eagerly awaited Du Yuheng's return in the evening to share all these developments with her.

The more Du Yuheng heard, the tighter his brow furrowed.

The ongoing conflict between Madam Fang and Mrs. Wang centered around a single issue: money. If Mrs. Fang had readily given some money for prenatal care, Mrs. Wang would have undoubtedly behaved herself.

The problem was they didn't have the money!

With so many people in the Fang family, where did they get the money? It had all been deceitfully extracted from Fang Tong in earlier years.

With a grandchild on the way, they knew they couldn't afford to take any shortcuts. So, where were they going to dig up the extra money?

Du Yuheng looked at the soundly sleeping Fang Tong. It wasn't surprising they were hell-bent on poisoning her.

Even though Fang Tong was keeping herself healthy and bringing in a steady income through her work, they'd chosen to slaughter the hen that laid the golden eggs.

Undoubtedly, they had thought that Fang Tong possessed some hidden private funds. Poisoning her, and then selling Du Yuheng, would have been a surefire way to make a significant profit, and they wouldn't have had to endure the daily annoyance of dealing with us. They had certainly devised a cunning plan!

It seemed that they'd got their minds set on another move when the opportunity came, and the Fang Family would not be able to stay any longer.

Then how should he deal with it?

At this moment, Madam Fang, Mr. Fang, Fang Dali, and Mrs. Wang were also sitting together in the Fang family's house.

Mrs. Wang, holding her head high, was snacking on sunflower seeds, with an arrogant expression.

Madam Fang couldn't bear to see her complacent face, but she still suppressed her anger and spoke.

"It's enough for our family to make a scene for two days. Now the most important thing is Mrs. Wang's pregnancy. Not to mention that we need to take good care of her now, when the child is born seven months later, our family will also need to afford more expenses. Where should we get these money? It's time for us to think about it carefully."

Mrs. Wang was stroking her belly which was not obviously pregnant at all. "It's none of my business to worry about where they get the money. Anyway, from today on, I can eat whatever I want and buy whatever I want. Besides, I just need to think about how to spend money, instead of "where is the money from!"

Fang Dali looked around at the people at the table. Everyone was here except Fang Tong and Du Yuheng. There was no need to ask his mother that where the money should come from! Anyway, the family had only relied on the fortune that made by Fang Tong several years ago. So Fang Dali didn't want to be responsible for the money. He just needed to think about how to enjoy his life and hang out with friends! Fang Dali wondered how much money his mother had secretly saved? Why didn't she give her private savings to her own son!

Fang Dali took a few more glances at Madam Fang, who immediately knew what her son was planning.

What an unfilial brat! After failing to learn both study and martial arts well, he learned to do business with others but in the end he just squandered all his investment and got no payback! He just coveted his mother's money. But he didn't know that even he didn't ask for that, the money would be his after his mother's death!

But he was capable enough, he should go out and make some money by himself!

Madam Fang looked at Mr. Fang, who was smoking with his eyes half-closed and puffing out smoke rings, as if he didn't hear what Madam Fang was saying at all.

The old fox! He just let me face all this alone!

Madam Fang rolled her eyes and spoke again.

"It it was several years ago, your sister still had some money in her hands and she would be willing to give a few hundred dollars to her nephew. But as you can see now, this house has cost a lot of money, and your sister is ill. I don't know what happens to Du Yuheng recently and she is so easy to be angry. How can I ask for money from her?"

Moreover, judging from the way Du Yuheng acted, even if she really made money, would she be generous enough to give her money to them?

Seeing that she bought food for her mother every day, no one would believe that she had no money!

Fang Dali rolled his eyes and thought about something else. "Du Yuheng has changed a lot recently. She suddenly became very capable. I heard that she was doing all kinds of work well in the Renyi Clinic, but her monthly salary is too little! The concubines of Landlord Zhang are all dressed in gorgeous dresses, and they often get silver as gifts. They are not as good-looking as Du Yuheng!"

Madam Fang gave her son a thumbs-up in her heart. "Well said!"

However, she said hypocritically, "Yuheng is too young. Your sister can't bear to see her get married."

"She's twelve years old, and is not so young anymore. We can ask around first. Du Yuheng is capable and good-looking. You have to choose a good match for her carefully!"

When Mrs. Wang heard that it was thousands of dollars, she immediately got excited.

"Well, Fang Tong definitely won't agree!"

Madam Fang took a look at Mrs. Wang and Fang Dali again. Fang Dali and Mrs. Wang watched Mr. Fang. Mr. Fang still had half-closed eyes and puffed smoke. He looked relaxed and carefree!

After a long time, Fang Dali said tentatively, "My sister is in poor health and can't get off the bed for such a long time. Maybe one day she might die. She spoils Du Yuheng very much. We must let her go in peace."

Mrs. Wang widened her eyes in disbelief at what Fang Dali meant in his words.

Madam Fang smiled with satisfaction. As long as Fang Tong was not around, wouldn't her private property and Du Yuheng, the little bitch, belong to her alone?

They watched Mr. Fang together, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Mr. Fang finally opened his eyes, took out the pipe from his mouth, and knocked it. "Du Yuheng is surnamed Du, but she grew up in our Fang family. We must find her a good husband. She doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. Don't let others say that we treat our granddaughter badly."

This meant that he agreed.

Madam Fang and Fang Dali looked at each other, and Fang Dali and Mrs. Wang left together.

Madam Fang sent her son to the door of his room and asked in a low voice, "Do you still have the medicine you got last time?"

"I don't have much left. I'll buy some more."

"You can't go to the Renyi Clinic this time. Buy some secretly!"

"Mom, I know. I'll go to the neighboring county tomorrow to buy it."

Madam Fang glanced at the small wing-room. The lights in the small wing-room had been turned off and there was no sound inside.

"I will tolerate you for a few more days, and finally you'll know who to listen to in the Fang family."
