Old Man Fang nodded immediately, "Yes! My daughter is Fang Yue'er. I wonder if my uncle can be kind enough to let me meet my daughter. We, father and daughter, haven't seen each other for a long time. I really miss her."
Hearing what Old Man Fang said, Fang Yue'er, who was hiding behind the screen, felt that he was full of lies. He came here just to get a few taels of silver from his hands.
The reason why he became what he is now was not because of his initial abandonment.
If it weren't for the fear of being taken advantage of by him, Fang Yue'er would have really wanted to rush up and scold this shameless old man.
But she can't.
Xu Tianyi outside seemed to be able to feel Fang Yue'er's inner restlessness behind the screen, so he just raised his eyebrows and said, "Old man Fang, please be patient. It's not that I don't want you to meet your daughter." , I really can’t find your daughter.”
"What do you mean?" Old Man Fang looked obviously panicked.
When Xu Tianyi heard this, he immediately pretended to be surprised and said, "Uncle Fang, are you still Yue'er's father?"
Old Man Fang was confused and said, "Of course I am."
When Xu Tianyi heard this, he immediately said, "If you are really Yue'er's father, then you should also know that Fang Yue'er is no longer in our house. Don't you know? The people in Zhou's house have already taken her away." Sold."
"Sold?" After hearing this, Old Man Fang seemed a little unable to hold on.
Then he immediately said, "Where did you sell her? And why did you sell my daughter?"
Hearing what Old Man Fang said, Xu Tianyi was a little surprised, but after thinking that the old man said this, he was just trying to extort money, so Xu Tianyi only said, "I didn't sell your daughter. The one who sold your daughter was Mrs. Zhou, as a son-in-law, I cannot get involved in this matter. Besides, you have completely sold your daughter. She signed a death deed and has nothing to do with you. Why do you bother to find her like this? His situation will definitely not be better than yours, so what can you do if you find him?"
After hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Old Man Fang immediately said, "Does your uncle know where my daughter is now? I have actually asked the Zhou Mansion before, but there is no person in charge in the Zhou Mansion. They asked me to speak. I came to see you, they said there is Mrs. Zhou’s son-in-law and daughter here, and they must know the whereabouts of my daughter, so I came here.”
As soon as he heard that he had gone to the old house first, Xu Tianyi knew that he could no longer push the blame on the old house, and he didn't have time to argue with Old Man Fang, so he only said to Old Man Fang, "Actually, I don't care about this either." I don’t know, after all, your daughter took Mrs. Zhou to jail. We know nothing about what happened after that except that she stayed in Lichun Court before. Moreover, she killed my mother-in-law. Do you think we Can the Zhou family tolerate her?"
Hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Old Man Fang became somewhat honest, "Yes, it is my daughter who has caused trouble for you, but do you really have no news about my daughter?"
Hearing this, Xu Tianyi only said helplessly in a low voice, "Of course not. If you really want to find your daughter, why not go to Lichun Courtyard? Those people in Lichun Courtyard will definitely not let your daughter go. I’m still in Li Chun Courtyard and can’t get out.”
Upon hearing this, Old Man Fang immediately thanked Xu Tianyi, then turned and left.
Fang Yue'er was surprised that Old Man Fang didn't extort money, but on the other hand, she still felt upset.
Watching old man Fang leave with his hunched back, Fang Yue'er didn't feel sorry for him, she just wondered why this man wasn't dead yet.
But even if he died, Fang Yue'er didn't intend to collect his body.
The ending she most wanted to see was for the old man to be beaten to death with a stick, then rolled up with straw mats and thrown into a mass grave. Only that would make her feel happy.
So after the old man Fang left, Fang Yue'er just turned around and said to Xu Tianyi, "Uncle, what do you mean, just let him go like this? You have to think about it, the reason why we have to make a dangerous move is... It's because of this old man. Let's just let him go. I didn't know you had such a kind heart."
Hearing Fang Yue'er's sarcasm, Xu Tianyi just smiled nonchalantly and said, "The little girl is young and energetic. You
Why are you so anxious? This old man will be really hurt if I do it. He will go to the government and file a complaint. There is no need for us to get into trouble. But if he really wants to go to you, Li Chun Yuan will definitely not give it to him. Eat the good fruit. What we do is actually equivalent to letting others teach him a lesson. We haven't dirty our hands yet. "
Hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Fang Yue'er calmed down and said, "Are you telling the truth?"
Xu Tianyi smiled and said, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, I can take you to see what happened to your father."
Hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Fang Yue'er looked down a little, "There's no need to go and see him. To be honest, if he hadn't jumped on the door to find me, I wouldn't have wanted to talk to this old man. And don't say that this old man is me." Dad. I don’t have such a dad.”
Seeing Fang Yue'er's face looking embarrassed, Xu Tianyi naturally stopped irritating him.
There is a Huaihe Street in the West City of Beijing. This Huaihe Street is a famous Fireworks Willow Alley. There are few people on that street during the day, but at night it is full of lights, feasting and singing.
Li Chun Yuan is naturally located on that street.
It's dusk and the watch drum hasn't sounded yet.
Old Man Fang walked on this street with his back bent. Almost all the pedestrians walking on this street were men with bright clothes and women with enchanting looks and thin clothes.
It is still very rare to see pedestrians as ragged as Old Man Fang, with patches piled on top of his clothes.
When people saw the old man, they either whispered to him, made fun of him, or avoided him like a rotten fish.
But Old Man Fang was thick-skinned, and he didn't care about the reactions of these people. His eyes were just searching the tall buildings and the faces of the women.
He seemed to want to find his daughter in this way, but unfortunately, he never saw his daughter despite searching.
And he didn't know a word of it, so he couldn't even find where Li Chun Yuan was.
And when he wanted to ask about Li Chun Yuan, the passers-by upstairs would avoid him and walk away without waiting for him to ask, or they would throw him a coin and tell him to get lost.
After doing this, he could only ask the women standing on the street soliciting customers.
Unexpectedly, these women did not avoid him, but they were just making fun of old man Fang. "Old man, do you come to a place like this at your age?"
Old man Fang didn't understand people making fun of them, or he did, but if he wanted to ask for help, he could only pretend not to understand, with a flattering smile on his face, "Yes, girl, do you know where Li Chun Yuan is?"
Upon hearing that people knew the name of the brothel, a woman immediately said, "I can't tell, uncle, you are still an expert. I think you must come to our flower street often, right?"
When the other women heard this, they all laughed so hard that they couldn't stand upright. Old man Fang could only laugh along with him.
Then these girls became lively. They had been depressed and bored all day long, but now they had the pleasure of teasing the bored boy. How could they let Old Man Fang leave?
"Old man, what's so good about Li Chun Yuan? Look at which one of us is not prettier and younger than the girls in Li Chun Yuan. If you have money, why not come to our place?"
"Yes, keeping it here is more interesting than that of Li Chun Yuan." After saying this, the group of women only deliberately teased her.
Old man Fang naturally heard that this was no longer Lichun Court, so he refused to go in. He only said, "Let me go, I'm here to find Yue'er."
Upon hearing this, the women immediately laughed even more cheerfully, "I still have an old sweetheart."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Fang stopped smiling apologetically. He said angrily, "She is not an old sweetheart. She is my daughter. Let me go. I want to find my daughter."
Suddenly I heard the other party speaking so seriously, and also heard that he was here to find his daughter.
The group of women at the moment didn't know what they were thinking. They just said nonchalantly, "Oh, that's really boring."
Then they also made birds and beasts.
However, when they dispersed, a girl in white remained in the same place. She looked at Old Man Fang and asked, "You are really here to find your daughter."
Old Man Fang nodded, "Yes."
The woman didn't know what she was thinking. She suddenly said, "Why are you looking for your daughter?"
Old Man Fang immediately whispered, "Of course I want to take my daughter back. She can't be abused in a place like this."
Hearing this, the woman seemed a little moved, but then she didn't know what she thought of. She suddenly sneered.
Then she just said, "Old man, I'm not telling you, since you want to take your daughter back, why did you sell your daughter here in the first place? Do you know how difficult it will be for you to redeem yourself after all this time?"
Hearing the woman's words, Old Man Fang only whispered, "I can't help it. When the child was five years old, the family really couldn't survive, so I thought of selling her to a wealthy family. I was originally I thought it would be better for her to work as a maid for a wealthy family than to have a meal with us. But I don’t know how my daughter offended the eldest lady of that family, who sold my daughter to Li I only found out about Spring Courtyard recently."
After saying this, Old Man Fang just wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "If I knew that the wealthy family was so cruel, I would never have sold my daughter to that wealthy family."
After hearing what Old Man Fang said, the woman seemed to feel a little compassion.
"You are better than my father. I can't blame you for this. Don't be sad, old man. I'll tell you how to get to Li Chun Yuan." The woman whispered.
"You go straight from this street. After passing three buildings, there is an intersection. Then go to the right. After passing three buildings, the fourth building is the Lichun Courtyard you are looking for."
After hearing the woman's words, Old Man Fang immediately thanked her, "Girl, you are a good person, I thank you."
The woman in white just said, "I'm just pointing the way, I don't have to be polite."
