Chapter 85

Fang Yi was certain that Brother Xiang's nest had been deliberately destroyed by Xu Jian, the eldest son's younger son of the Xu Family. Xu Jian was sixteen years old, a year older than Fang Yi, and was well-known throughout Qingzhou Village as a good-for-nothing. He idled away his days, doing nothing at all, and was looked down upon by everyone in the village. Xu Jian had originally thought he could smoothly become his uncle and aunt's adopted son, sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor, inherit all their property, and live out his days without a single worry. Unexpectedly, this sweet dream was shattered when his aunt threatened to take her own life, allowing Fang Yi, a poor boy who had stepped through the threshold of the Xu Family halfway through, to score a major windfall.
