Chapter 8 Old Madam Fang
"Zixuan Zipeng is here, come and show grandma." Mrs. Fang, who is in her sixties, does not have a trace of gray hair because she is well maintained, like a graceful lady in her early fifties, as soon as she sees their sister and brother, she beckons to them intimately, and at the same time instructs her subordinates, "Quickly put the luggage of the two children in the room and pack it." ”
Fang Zipeng refused to step forward with an awkward face, firstly because he had an awkward quarrel with Zhang Yun, and secondly, because he was not close to Old Madam Fang, Fang Zixuan suppressed his strange emotions, and took a few steps forward to greet Old Madam Fang solemnly.
This is out of Mrs. Fang's expectations, Fang Zixuan has always been the same as Fang Zipeng, every time she comes to the old mansion, she is reluctant, she is a very disliked and unruly girl, although she may not be very close to her on her face this time, but in the end she still understands some etiquette, Old Madam Fang's face is slightly relaxed, "In the end, she is also a big girl, and she finally knows the etiquette." ”
The Fang family is different from many wealthy families in China, neither a family that has been operating and inheriting in China for hundreds of years, nor is it an emerging nouveau riche in recent decades, the ancestors of the Fang family are just poor people in S Province, because of the difficulty of making a living, they went to Nanyang, with their diligence and intelligence, they have gained a firm foothold in Nanyang, and they have prospered from generation to generation.
There are also many dignitaries like the Fang family in Nanyang, but no matter how beautiful they are overseas, in the end, they are still overseas Chinese, and they are just foreigners to those countries.
With the continuous enhancement of the strength of the Chinese people in Nanyang, more and more overseas Chinese have chosen to live in Nanyang permanently and no longer move the idea of returning to China for development.
However, after all, Mr. Fang is not an ordinary person, and he has a very long-term vision, not only because of his father's wishes, but also because he has never been satisfied with the development of a small country like Nanyang, although Nanyang is rich, but after all, the small country has few people, and the market is naturally not as big as in China.
As soon as the horn of domestic reform sounded, the old man handed over the business of Nanyang to a few younger brothers, and he brought a huge amount of money to invest in the country, in that era the domestic economy was sluggish, all parts of the country begged the old man Fang to invest, and the conditions given were extremely favorable, the old man Fang such a shrewd businessman naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, and built houses on land everywhere, the capital became more and more abundant, and the tentacles were stretched longer and longer, almost every money-making business had their Fang family. Today's Fang family is no longer the same as the Chinese businessman who was in a corner of the South Seas.
Mr. Fang has never forgotten that he is a native of J City, and since returning to China, he has chosen his base in J City, and he has invested in improving people's livelihood, donated to education, and built an ancestral hall to renovate and expand his ancestral home, tossing vigorously, and even made a memorial hall in the small fishing village in his hometown open to the public for free, and the furnishings are the old things of their Fang family, and the small fishing village has also completely changed and become the richest rural village in J City.
Don't say that he is from J City, even from S Province, and they all say that his old man is a great good person, and the first thing every provincial and municipal leader does as soon as he takes office is to come to visit this old man.
And Mrs. Fang is the wife of Mr. Fang when he was still in Nanyang, he was also born in Nanyang, studied in the United Kingdom when he was young, received a traditional British lady education, and behaved very dignified.
After returning to China, it was not without wind and rain, but the old lady Fang, who had been pampered since childhood, did not complain, and consistently supported her husband and supported the family, which alone was enough to make the old man respect her for the rest of his life.
Mrs. Fang has five sons and a daughter, Fang Jianlin is the third, he went to China with his parents at the age of three, running around, the living conditions and Nanyang are naturally incomparable, the old man is busy outside all day, naturally he can't take care of the family, Mrs. Fang takes care of her three sons alone, she rarely does such a thing, and she can't find a suitable nanny in those years, it is inevitable that there will be inconsiderate places.
Once Fang Jianlin had a high fever and almost died in the West, although he was rescued after the most deaf, but that incident eventually became a wound in the old lady's heart, among the six children, the third child was the worst when he was young, and suffered the most crimes, and he inevitably had a selfishness and preference, and it was this unprincipled doting that brought Fang Jianlin into a full gentleman.
But mothers are all distressed about their sons, in her heart her son will always be good, and there is no problem with her education, Fang Jianlin's absurdity is because she didn't find a good daughter-in-law, Zhang Yun is so shallow-eyed, she can't control her husband, and she only knows her daughter-in-law who is jealous and jealous, naturally she is a thorn in her eye and a thorn in her flesh, at first Zhang Yun still wanted to please her mother-in-law, but later found that no matter what she said or did, this mother-in-law could find out her mistakes, so she simply became cold-hearted, The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law naturally fell to the freezing point.
Fang Jianlin and Zhang Yun's marriage seems to be free love on the surface, but it is completely a political marriage in his bones, mainly facilitated by Old Man Fang, Mrs. Fang has always been dissatisfied in her heart, and always feels that she has wronged her son, if it weren't for the strength of the Zhang family, she would have divorced her son and Zhang Yun a long time ago.
Every time she watched Fang Zixuan's sister and brother reluctantly go back to the old house, she always felt that this daughter-in-law was behind her back, she was a person who protected her shortcomings, and this evil fire would not attack her son and grandchildren, so she naturally wanted to go to Zhang Yunsa.
Old Madam Fang elegantly held the black teacup, didn't look at Zhang Yun who was standing on the side, just looked at the pair of grandchildren standing in front of her with a smile.
"Zixuan has grown taller again, she is so much taller than Zipeng," Old Madam Fang took Fang Zixuan's hand and smiled, "What are the little girls doing in such gray clothes?" When your aunt was a little girl, I tried my best to dress her up and take her out, and everyone said she was a lovely little princess. Therefore, it depends on whether you have intentions in what you do, and it is the same as being a mother, a mother who is attentive can take good care of her children and take care of the family, and a mother who is not attentive will not care about her children......
Old Madam Fang's cynicism hit Zhang Yun's heart, she gritted her teeth, and couldn't resist not confronting her, anyway, this is not the first time.
