Chapter 1469: What Do You Mean I Caused You Great Suffering

~4 min read 761 words

Deputy Feng also looked at his own son: "Cunguang, quickly thank Deputy Fu and Aunt Fu."

Feng Cunguang, his face red: "Uncle Fu, Aunt Fu, thank you."

Saying this, he bowed deeply.

Fu Yan Cheng reached out and helped the person up: "We all live in the same family compound; when something happens, we naturally cannot ignore it. You were brave to jump into the water and save someone, which deserves praise, but you must not be so rash in the future; you must always use proper methods."

Having gone through this ordeal, Feng Cunguang was naturally quite frightened: "Uncle Fu, I remember. My father also told me that if I encounter this again, I should hug the person from behind."

Fu Yan Cheng smiled: "Your father is right; that way you can ensure your own safety to the maximum extent."

Deputy Feng placed the things he was carrying on the table: "Deputy Fu, this is a small token of our gratitude; please, you must accept it."

Fu Yan Cheng glanced at his wife and spoke to decline: "Brother Feng, anyone who encounters this would lend a hand; moreover, it is a child from our compound. There is no need for such formality."

Liu Chuxue also said to Jiang Aihua: "We truly cannot accept the items. We did not go into the water; we only performed first aid. We appreciate your goodwill, but we really cannot accept the things. The child was quite frightened that day; take them back for the child to eat."

After a round of polite refusal, Fu Yan Cheng finally spoke: "Here is a solution: we will keep one can of canned food, and you take the rest back. Is that acceptable? There is truly no need for formality between us."

Seeing that Fu Yan Cheng would not accept anything, Deputy Feng turned to his own wife: "Alright, then let us listen to Deputy Fu. In the future, if you have time, please take care of your sister-in-law more."

Jiang Aihua readily agreed: "Why would you need to tell me that? From now on, our two families will naturally visit each other more often."

After exchanging pleasantries again, Liu Chuxue grabbed a handful of dried sweet potatoes drying on the windowsill and gave them to the Feng family: "Sister-in-law, I dried these myself; please take some to taste."

After all, they had kept a can of canned food from the other party; this was a matter of courtesy.

Jiang Aihua was a clear-sighted person and naturally saw Liu Chuxue's intention. Thinking that there was plenty of time ahead, she did not refuse: "Then we must taste them."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the family finally left.

After seeing them off, Fu Yan Cheng told Liu Chuxue to rest for a while, while he went to boil water to prepare plucking the chicken feathers: "Wife, how do you plan to cook this chicken?"

Liu Chuxue pointed to the small basket hanging on the kitchen wall: "The weather has turned cool; add some red dates to stew it, so we can drink more soup."

On this side, the two were speaking affectionately to each other.

On the other side, Guo Yueliang, who had returned to the city, was grabbed by her stepmother as soon as she entered the door: "Liangliang, where have you been? You have really caused me great suffering."

Guo Yueliang forcefully pulled her hand free: "Speak properly if you have something to say. What do you mean I caused you great suffering? What did I do?"

Hu Yue Mei took a deep breath: "Because you ran away from home, your father is about to divorce me. Does this not count as you harming me?"

Guo Yueliang sneered: "I merely went to visit a friend; how does that constitute running away from home? Even if you want to make excuses for your niece, you do not need to smear me."

Hu Yue Mei did not expect her stepdaughter, who had always been unwilling to pay her any attention, to start fighting back today; it seemed that Jingxiu snatching away Gu Ming Lei had indeed struck a heavy blow to her.

Guo Yueliang knew what the woman was thinking just by looking at her expression; she was doing it on purpose. She wanted to see which side her own father would stand on this time, and she also wanted to make this woman know not to think she was easy to bully.

Just then, the door was pulled open from the outside: "Liangliang, where have you been?"
