FID – Chapter 212

Just like him, Grandma would usually pinch his face, twist his ears, and occasionally give him a beating on the buttocks; he couldn’t get angry at all.

Feng Qingbai smiled and sat down next to the old lady, putting a bunch of things into her hand. “Grandma, this is the deed to the Wang family’s thousand acres of fertile land. I bought it and put it under your name and grandpa’s name. Take it.”

The old lady’s smiling face froze, and she quickly withdrew her hand as if a hot potato had landed. “No, no, no, I don’t want it. You child, how much money is needed to buy a thousand acres of fertile land?! Our family is not short of land. Take it back and reclaim the money!”

Good gracious, just buy a thousand acres of land at will!

The old lady counted the silver in her coffers and felt her heart dripping blood.

This prodigal fellow!

And Liu Yusheng aside, when she saw the land deed, she immediately clenched her hands tight. Her heart was astringent, and her eyes turned almost red.

He had planned this far, so he must be leaving.

Feng Qingbai fell silent for a while and didn’t risk turning his head toward Liu Yusheng.

Once he looked at her, he feared that he’d be unable to restrain himself and refuse to let her go, or the words that should be said would be left unsaid. 

“Grandma, I am also a child of the Liu family. I am filial to you and grandpa just as Zhixia and Zhiqiu are filial to you. You can ask me whatever you like or want. I’ll give it to you justly, and you can take it for granted. I’m not an outsider,” Feng Qingbai said in a low voice, slowly resting his head on the shoulder of the old lady. “Except for you, I-I already had none to pay my respects.”

Just now, there was a lively atmosphere in the hall, but silence reigned in a wink. 

Tears wet the corners of Grandma Liu’s eyes, and her heart felt pin pricked. 

The child wanted to support his parents, but they were unable to wait. 

Their Axiu must be aggrieved deep inside.

Grandpa Liu pursed his lips and stretched his palm, heaving two pats on Feng Qingbai’s shoulder. “Since the child is showing filial piety for us, take it, Wife. Don’t worry about this boy. Since he can afford it, he shouldn’t be too poor and lacks money to spend. If that ever happens, won’t we afford a bowl of rice for him when he comes home?”

Grandma Liu blinked away the tears at the corners of her eyes, squeezed out a smile, and patted Feng Qingbai’s back with her calloused palm. “Okay, okay, I’ll take it. With a vast fertile land, Axiu’s grandmother has become a rich landlords.”

“Tsk! If Grandpa and Grandma are rich landlords, then I am the grandson of a rich landlord, and I can be a second generation nouveau riche! Aigoo, I have always envied those second generation rich kids who needn’t have to do anything but can eat and drink every day. Grandma, I beg you. Raise me to be a good-for-nothing like Xiao Jinzi!”

Qian Wanjin stiffened and blew up, “Damn you, Liu Zhiqiu! Who are you calling good-for-nothing?! You are the waste! I have no other skills, but at least know how to eat. You can not even eat!”

“I can’t eat? Hahaha!” Liu Zhiqiu’s face turned black. “How could I have grown so strong if I don’t know how to eat?!”

“You do not call that eating. You call  it stuffing! The exotid delicacies from mountains and seas taste all the same in your mouth!”

“Xiao Jinzi, so that’s why we can’t agree on anything!”

“The first to tease is an asshole! Stop talking. Come on, let’s fight!”

Liu Dalin and Liu Erlin got up at the same time and picked up the back collar of two people and threw them out.

The room fell silent for a moment and exploded with laughter.

The tears that the grandma had wiped just moments ago welled up once more. “Aigoo, Xiao Jinzi, this living treasure. How could he be so funny? He had a way of hurling abuse!”

“These two brats, let them brawl. After they fight, they’ll come back and apply medicine, then return to being brothers once more.” The old man laughed and scolded.

Shi Xianrou stared at the two figures scuffling together outside and also laughed despite herself.

That was called a fight? You whack me and I whack you, even a girl’s fist wasn’t that gentle.

The only two people who were left unsmiling were Feng Qingbai and Liu Yusheng.

They both avoided each other’s eyes.

This situation continued until nightfall.

After the evening meal, Feng Qingbai chased after Liu Yusheng into the inner courtyard.

“Shengsheng.”

“I’m a little tired today, so I want to rest early. Let’s talk tomorrow if you have anything to say.” Liu Yusheng walked towards her room with her head down.

“Shengsheng…”

The door of the room closed with a bang. Feng Qingbai stood at the door, raised his hand to push the door open, but ended up putting it down in dismay.

He turned around and leaned against the wall, looking into the dim light of the night. She was clearly a wall away behind him, but he felt that this moment was more agonizing than when they were thousands of miles apart.

“When are you leaving?” The young girl’s voice, which sounded strongly nasal, suddenly came behind the door. 

Feng Qingbai’s heart tightened so much, he could hardly breathe.

It took a while before he squeezed out a few words, “Three days later.”

“Got it. I’m going to sleep. You should also go back early to rest.” After a pause, “No sneaking into my room at night. I’ll lock the window.”

“…Okay.”

The sound of footsteps drifted away outside the door, and Liu Yusheng could no longer hold back the tears she had endured for a long time and let it flow.

She crouched down, leaned against the door panel, and hugged herself tightly.

She was so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that she felt on the verge of death.

He was leaving, so she should smile and let him go in peace.

But she was incapable of it.

There were some feelings that no amount of reason could control.

How long has it been since they met? More than two months.

How long would it be before they see each other again after the separation? She had no idea.

She told him that she would wait for him to come back, and she remained steadfast for it.

However, when it came down to it and he was truly leaving, that genuine parting still made her sad and vulnerable.

She had never known that there would be such an existence in the world. He was still with her and hasn’t left yet, but she already began to miss him. 

The young girl’s stifled whimpers echoed silently in the room. The sound was akin to a knife, piercing through the wall beyond another heart.

Slashing it badly.

She didn’t want to see him now, and he thought he could bear it and give her some buffer time.

He did try to hold himself back.

Then it turned out that he overestimated his own patience.

There was nothing normal about him in front of her!

Feng Qingbai broke the locked window with a hand and entered the room through it. He walked toward the girl who raised her head, dumbfounded, and pulled her up.

“Hum…”

The young girl was raving mad that she pushed and refused him from completely shackling her.

Shudders surged from the bottom of his heart.

“Feng Qingbai…”

Feng Qingbai jerked to a halt and backed away a little with difficulty, then closed his eyes in anguish. “I’m sorry, Shengsheng…”

I’m sorry for making you sad.
