130: Fang Yuan died, and the Fang family was in chaos.
He couldn't stop Father Fang from providing for his family, nor did he have the right to interfere with his choices, but he could sever ties with this family completely.
From now on, Fang Qing shouldn't expect to get anything from him by relying on her father.
Father Fang looked at Bai Jixuan with a complex expression: "Is it really necessary to be so tense..."
"I will try my best to communicate with Fang Qing. She will understand one day. I will bring her to apologize to you and the children. Jixuan, I promise that my daughter will repay everything she owes you over the years. You don't have to..."
"No need," Bai Jixuan shook his head. "I've given her more than one chance, you know that. Don't you know what kind of person your daughter is?"
Just as Father Fang was about to speak, Bai Jixuan interrupted him, his tone calm and serious: "If I lock her up, starve her for a few days, and then wait a few more years, do you think she would forgive me?"
"I believe that as the mother of our children, the best thing she can do is to stay far away from them."
Ten years, he had wasted a full decade on that woman.
Bai Jixuan had been waiting, hoping that one day Fang Qing would learn to love their son, but she disappointed him again and again.
Not only did she treat him worse than a dog, but she was even more merciless towards their children.
He could forgive everything she had done to him, but he could never forgive this woman who treated her own children worse than her pet pigs.
Father Fang opened his mouth, but ultimately felt too ashamed to speak ill of Bai Jixuan.
In the end, he just let out a long sigh, picked up the three bags Bai Jixuan had brought, and silently went downstairs.
Bai Jixuan watched his father-in-law go downstairs, then lowered his head, concealing the helplessness and pain in his heart. He didn't understand why his usually brave and wise father-in-law had to bow down to people like Mother Fang and Fang Qing.
Even if he tried his best, wasn't it enough? If things continued like this, those three women would sooner or later kill him.
However, since he had already decided to leave the Fang Family, Bai Jixuan no longer intended to interfere with Father Fang's decisions.
This was his choice, and even if something happened in the future, it was the path he himself had chosen.
He respected his father-in-law's dedicated attitude, but he couldn't do the same.
Suddenly, someone walked up to him and gently patted his shoulder.
Bai Jixuan turned around and saw his brother standing behind him.
"Let's go," he said to Bai Jixuan. "The children miss you."
"Dad." Bai Xiaoxu's eyes were red as he reached out to hug Bai Jixuan, and Bai Jixuan's gaze instantly softened.
He took his son from Bai Zhan's arms and held him tightly.
"Did you miss Daddy?" Bai Jixuan asked gently as he walked upstairs.
"Mm, I had a nightmare," Bai Xiaoxu whispered, hugging his father.
His aunt told him that if he was scared, he should tell his father immediately.
She said that his mother was lying to him by telling him to hide his pain and tears from his father.
Sure enough, his aunt was right. His father cared for him, loved him, and didn't push him away, but hugged him tightly.
Bai Jixuan listened to his son's words, and a bitter sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
He nodded, gently patting the child's back, and as he smelled the scent of formula on his son, his agitated heart finally calmed down a little.
Meanwhile, in the small apartment where the Fang Family resided.
Several fires were lit in the living room to ward off the cold.
Mother Fang, Fang Qing, and Fang Fei huddled together on an old sofa, ravenously eating the food Father Fang had brought back.
Fang Fei's right hand was wrapped in a bandage borrowed from Ni Baoguo, and a faint trace of blood still stained the gauze.
Mother Fang finished the bag of sausages Father Fang had brought, casually tossed the plastic bag aside, and said to her husband, "That Bai Jixuan wants to get rid of us with just these supplies? Husband, go tell him clearly, our daughter gave birth to two healthy sons for him, he should at least give us ten thousand boxes, no, a hundred thousand boxes of supplies!"
"He can't be so cruel to the mother of his own children! We're not beggars!"
Father Fang didn't respond, but just stood up silently, dragging his tired body upstairs. Before leaving, he casually took a bottle of water and a pack of steamed buns.
He and his son lived on the second floor, while the women lived on the first floor.
"Son, come eat something." Father Fang pushed open the door and called out softly. His gaze fell on Fang Yuan, who was sitting on the bed, and a fatherly smile appeared on his face: "Dad brought you something to eat."
However, Fang Yuan stood still, unmoving, and didn't turn to look at him.
A faint unease rose in Father Fang's heart, and he tentatively knocked on the door.
As soon as the door made a soft sound, the person on the bed moved.
"Hehehehe."
"Hehehe..."
Fang Yuan slowly turned his head. Seeing his already decaying flesh and peeling skin, Father Fang's legs gave way, and he stumbled backward, screaming: "Son!"
He couldn't accept the fact that his son had become a zombie.
Mother Fang heard her son's tragic cry and ran upstairs angrily, impatiently shouting, "What are you yelling about, son!!"
She looked up and saw Fang Yuan staggering out of the room.
His stiff movements made her instantly realize that her son had become a zombie.
Her legs went weak, and she retreated repeatedly, finally collapsing to the ground, incoherently shouting, "Help... help me!"
However, her two daughters were already terrified out of their wits and dared not move. Their brother was already a monster.
Fang Yuan lunged at Mother Fang, clawing and biting. In a moment of crisis, Father Fang suddenly pulled out the long crowbar he carried with him when he went out to kill zombies, rushed out of the room, and slammed it with all his might into his son's head!
Tears streamed down his cheeks. He gritted his teeth, raised the crowbar, and brought it down hard again.
The monster still didn't stop moving. One hit, two hits, three hits... until the corpse finally stopped moving and lay quietly on the ground.
Mother Fang, sitting on the ground, looked at the motionless corpse, her lips trembling uncontrollably: "Ah ah ah ah! Bai Wanning! You killed my son!"
"I'm going to kill her!" Mother Fang slapped her thigh and wailed.
Her only son had died just like that. Died so painfully.
She had begged Bai Wanning to spare him, but that woman refused.
She was a murderer! She was the culprit!
""Enough!" Father Fang threw the crowbar aside, stopping his wife from continuing her tantrum. "You're the one who killed our son!"
"I told you long ago, don't keep spoiling him, one day he'll offend someone he shouldn't. But did you listen? You didn't listen at all!"
"You're the one who spoiled him rotten! If it weren't for you, how would my son have ended up like this today? You're the instigator!"
"You! You dare to say I killed our son? Isn't he your son too? Don't you feel any pain at all? Are you still protecting that family? It was Bai Wanning!" Mother Fang shrieked, pouncing forward, her fingernails like hooks scratching at Father Fang's face. "I'll say it again, the one who killed our son is Bai Wanning! That shameless slut!"
She pushed Father Fang to the ground like a madwoman, punching and kicking him.
Father Fang wanted to raise his hand to fight back, but Mother Fang was like a mad dog, biting and scratching, so he could only let her tear at him. The years of insults and beatings had long since numbed him.
In the living room, Fang Qing and Fang Fei, upon hearing that their brother had died, not only didn't go upstairs to take a look, but also secretly ate food while their parents argued.
Fang Qing, relying on her height and strength, snatched most of a bag of grain into her arms and then kicked Fang Fei to the ground.
Fang Fei trembled all over from the push, glaring angrily at the food her sister had stolen, secretly vowing in her heart: One day, she would drive all these people out of her life!
