Chapter 1084: Won't You Stop Refusing?

Originally, Fu's mother had planned to set the wedding date for the end of the year, but Ren's aunt said her husband was too busy with work at that time and likely couldn't make it. Plus, Ren Shaofeng was eager to win his beauty, so after discussion, they settled on the eleventh lunar month; the specific date would be decided later once checked, and they could just contact each other by phone then.

Fu's father and mother understood Ren's aunt's feelings; after all, for various reasons, she hadn't been able to stay by her nephew's side, and now that she had finally found him, wanting the whole family to attend such a major life event as a wedding was perfectly reasonable.

Once the matter was settled, the two families left the state-run restaurant.

Ren Jiangfeng first drove his aunt back to her lodging, agreeing to pick up Yanwan later and return to the farm together.

All the way, Ren's aunt kept urging her nephew: "Jiangfeng, it's all my fault. After your parents passed away, I couldn't rush back in time, causing you to suffer so much. So when I came, your uncle had already prepared the betrothal gifts and the money and tickets for the three major items and one sound; just accept them peacefully, consider it our compensation to you."

Ren Jiangfeng frowned and said, "Aunt, I understand your feelings, but I was never your responsibility to begin with. The tickets for the three major items and one sound were indeed hard for me to get, so if I accepted them, I accepted them, but I cannot let you pay for the money."

Ren's aunt's eyes turned red: "Xiaofeng, I am your own aunt. If not for your father, I don't know if I would still be alive. Not being able to come back in time to take you away back then has always filled me with guilt. Just for the sake of letting me feel at ease, won't you stop refusing?"

Seeing his aunt like this, he didn't want to say anything else: "Alright, since accepting it will bring you peace of mind, then I will accept it. Thank you, Aunt, and please say thanks to Uncle for me as well."

This made Ren's aunt happy: "No need to thank me, your aunt. As for your uncle, I'll call you when I return to Yunnan Province; then you can tell him yourself."

Ren Jiangfeng drove her back to the guesthouse, took the items his aunt had prepared for him, and said, "Aunt, I'll leave now. Please be careful on your way back."

Ren's aunt patted her nephew's shoulder: "Don't worry, your uncle has already asked someone to accompany me on the journey. If anything happens in the future, you must tell your aunt immediately. Even if I can't rush over, I'll find someone to help you. Do you remember?"

Thinking of his experiences from childhood to now, hearing his aunt's words warmed his heart: this was a kind of family affection he had never experienced before; the feeling of being cared for and valued was truly wonderful.

Chuxue and Fu Yan Cheng returned to the Fu family right on time.

They had hardly arrived when Ren Jiangfeng came to pick them up.

Yanwan held Chuxue's arm: "Fourth Sister-in-law, I want to eat the chili sauce you make. It's just a pity that everyone was busy today, so we didn't get around to it..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw what Fu Yan Cheng was carrying: "Fourth Brother, what are you holding?"

Fu Yan Cheng exchanged a glance with Chuxue, smiled, and handed the item to his sister: "It's exactly what you're thinking."

No sooner had he spoken than Fu Yanwan jumped up: "Fourth Sister-in-law, you are so wonderful. I was just thinking of asking you to mail some to me when you had time, but I didn't expect you had already prepared it for me."

Chuxue liked her straightforward, unpretentious nature: "I'll make some more and mail it to you in a while."

Fu Yanwan reached out to hug her, but Fu Yan Cheng immediately grabbed the back of her collar: "It's getting late; hurry up and pack your things to catch the train."

Her things had been packed since morning. Because they had to catch the train, Ren Jiangfeng hadn't even sat down after entering, and the two of them rushed off to the station in a hurry.
