Chapter 111
Even if the parents were partial, Jiang Xuezhu had never seen parents partial to this extent. They were simply eating Shi Tianliang's flesh and drinking his blood.
Hearing Jiang Xuezhu's words, Meng Wanqiu pursed her lips. "I don't have that photo with me. If you saw it, you wouldn't doubt it. Xiaohao really is a spitting image of my godfather's and godmother's child."
Pei Xingzhi also said, "In our hearts, it's almost confirmed, but you are Shi Tianliang's wife. Therefore, without your permission, we have not dared to inform my godmother and others. But we hope to get your consent. The old couple are already very old, and they have been looking for a child for half their lives—"
"I understand. I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. I really hope the Shi family will sever ties with me. Now that I know Tianliang might not be the Shi family's child, I can't help but feel overjoyed."
Tianliang had spent countless nights doubting himself because of the Shi family's parents' partiality. If this was the truth, then Tianliang would surely be relieved.
Hearing Jiang Xuezhu's agreement, the couple smiled at each other.
On the same day, Pei Xingzhi called Bai Fengyao's hotline at July 15 and explained what had happened.
Upon learning that Pei Xingzhi and others had found Feng Liang, the child of Feng's parents, Bai Fengyao didn't bother to chat. He hurriedly said, "I know. I'll notify Uncle Feng and others right away" and hung up the phone.
When Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng heard the news from Bai Fengyao, their mood was fluctuating between extreme ecstasy and nervousness.
Bai Fengyao then told them, "Xiaoliang's condition isn't good. You should be mentally prepared."
Aunt Feng's hands were shaking.
Uncle Feng closed his eyes, supported his wife, and said sadly: "It is a blessing from God that we can find him. As long as Xiaoliang is still alive, we can still see him, and we are satisfied."
Aunt Feng's eyes were red and moist. "Yes, we are already satisfied to be able to see Xiaoliang alive."
Bai Fengyao nodded. "The people who will pick you up at the station are outside. You don't need to pack your things. Xingzhi and Xiaowan will prepare everything. Just get on the train if you feel like it. The train tickets are for the nearest one."
Uncle Feng patted Bai Fengyao on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, brother."
Bai Fengyao frowned, "What are you talking about? We are all family."
Aunt Feng smiled and patted Uncle Feng, "Yes, we are all family."
Xiaowan and Xingzhi coming to Qiyiwu to show kindness to them was the best thing they had ever done in their lives.
All I can say is that when kindness meets kindness, it creates the most beautiful results.
Two and a half days later, Pei Xingzhi and Meng Wanqiu picked up the Feng family at 1 a.m. Although the two elderly people looked slightly tired, they were in good spirits. Without further ado, they drove directly to the hospital where Jiang Xuezhu was.
Jiang Xuezhu was the only one in the hospital. Xiaohao was still young, and Jiang Xuezhu had to take care of Shi Tianliang and the child at the same time. She didn't have enough energy to take care of both the big and small ones. So Meng Wanqiu took the decision and took Xiaohao back to the Pei family to play with Xixi.
The knock on the door woke Jiang Xuezhu up. Through the glass on the door, she saw Meng Wanqiu, Pei Xingzhi and the two haggard old men behind them.
In an instant, Jiang Xuezhu understood who they were.
"Sister Xuezhu, these two are my godfather and godmother, and also Brother Feng Liang's biological parents."
Meng Wanqiu introduced the two parties.
"Hello, uncle and aunt!"
"Hello, child. I'm sorry to trouble you by coming here so late." Uncle Feng smiled gently and said apologetically.
Jiang Xuezhu was stunned for a moment. The way this person smiled was really like Tian Liang.
The moment Aunt Feng saw Shi Tianliang lying on the bed, she couldn't help but shed tears.
The nature of mother and son is so wonderful and so unreasonable. The first time she saw Shi Tianliang, she was completely sure that he was her son.
Aunt Feng threw herself on the bed, grabbed Feng Liang's hand, and burst into tears. "My son, I finally found you. Xiaoliang, I'm sorry—"
The sound of mournful cries echoed in the ward. The grief of separation between mother and child was so intense that the air was filled with sadness.
Meng Wanqiu couldn't help sobbing. Pei Xingzhi remained silent and held her in his arms.
Uncle Feng's tears, which he had been holding back for so long, finally fell at this moment.
He turned his back and wiped his tears with his sleeve before he could hold back and said to Jiang Xuezhu, "I'm sorry, kid. Your aunt is too excited. I'm sorry."
Jiang Xuezhu waved her hands repeatedly, "It's okay, uncle, I understand."
Uncle Feng asked again, "He, he has a pale blue irregular birthmark on his left lower back. Does he have it?"
Jiang Xuezhu smiled and nodded, "He does."
After being reunited after almost twenty years of separation, Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng made no secret of their love for their son, and expressed it all to Jiang Xuezhu and their grandson Feng Lihao.
The old couple, who were already well-off, bought a courtyard house near Xixi School. They paid workers to renovate it and moved in in just a week.
Jiang Xuezhu and Xiaohao naturally moved in as well.
Meng Wanqiu and her family of three also have a room here. The yard bought by the Feng family is closer to Xixi's school than the Pei family's house. In order to help her younger brother learn to speak faster, Xixi lives here when Pei Zhongyuan is not at home.
Meng Wanqiu was trying to treat Feng Liang with Western medicine, but it could only keep Feng Liang alive. However, Western medicine could not stop the muscle atrophy in his limbs.
After learning about the situation, Jiang Xuezhu safely handed Feng Liang over to Meng Wanqiu for treatment.
Since his wife and daughter both lived here, Pei Xingzhi naturally moved in as well.
After Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng arrived in the capital, they naturally began to investigate what happened that year. After learning about what the Shi family had done, Uncle Feng contacted his old colleagues who were working in the capital and found some evidence against the Shi family.
It turned out that the Shi family of three asked Jiang Xuezhu for money because Shi Baoming got the girl pregnant. The girl demanded compensation from the Shi family, otherwise she would sue him for hooliganism and put him in jail.
The Shi family heard that Jiang Xuezhu's business was booming recently and were unwilling to pay the money, so they set their sights on her.
After learning about this, Uncle Feng bribed the girl's family, and Shi Baoming ended up in jail. As for the old couple of the Shi family, Uncle Feng would naturally not let them go.
After Meng Wanqiu treated Feng Liang for half a year, Feng Liang finally woke up.
He also recalled his past memories of getting along very harmoniously with Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng.
At the same time, Feng Liang chose to call the police and arrest Shi's parents.
This is how Feng Liang became a vegetable.
When Feng Liang was ten years old, Shi's mother suddenly became pregnant and gave birth to Shi Baoming. With her biological child, she naturally began to dislike the adopted child.
Feng Liang's treatment at the Shi family plummeted, and even after he finished elementary school, his parents were unwilling to let him continue his education. However, Feng Liang saved up for his tuition by running errands and doing small jobs. With the help and persuasion of his teachers, his parents reluctantly allowed him to attend junior high school for three years. However, upon graduation, his parents firmly disapproved and forced him to drop out and work as a laborer to earn money for the family.
Feng Liang didn't know the truth and always regarded the Shi family as his biological parents. Under their strong request, he had no choice but to enter the factory.
In the first three years of his work, Feng Liang handed over all his salary because Shi's mother complained to him about being poor.
It wasn't until Feng Liang reached adulthood that he began secretly saving for himself. It wasn't until Wen Ge arrived that the teachers who had helped him were murdered, unable to bear the humiliation, and died one after another. Jiang Xuezhu was Feng Liang's child. When Feng Liang was in junior high school, he often received invitations to dinner at his teacher's home. They were childhood sweethearts, and a natural bond developed.
Now that the teacher has passed away and Jiang Xuezhu has been bullied by those red-armed gangs, Feng Liang stands up and marries Jiang Xuezhu to protect his beloved girl.
But this angered Shi's parents, who asked Feng Liang to draw a clear line between himself and Jiang Xuezhu, otherwise they would cut off ties with him.
Feng Liang didn't listen, so he was kicked out of the house by Shi's parents.
The first few years of their marriage were extremely difficult for the couple. They faced financial difficulties and were mentally tortured by the red-arm cuffs every few days.
Later, Jiang Xuezhu unexpectedly became pregnant.
In order to provide his child with adequate nutrition, Feng Liang went fishing in the lake in the middle of winter. There, he met the grown-up child Shi Baoming and his parents. They took a fancy to the fish in Feng Liang's hand and asked Feng Liang to give it to them.
How could Feng Liang agree for the sake of the child in his wife's belly?
But unexpectedly, Feng Liang's attitude angered the Shi family. First, Shi Baoming hit Feng Liang with a stone, but Feng Liang ignored it. Then it was Shi's father and mother, and finally a sharp stone broke the back of Feng Liang's head.
Feng Liang fell into a coma, and his bright red blood dyed the snow on the ground red.
Seeing that something had happened, the Shi family fled. Feng Liang was lucky enough to meet other passers-by and was sent to the hospital. He saved his life but became a motionless vegetable.
In that situation, the police had no way of catching the real culprit without any clues. No one could have imagined that the people who harmed Feng Liang would be the three members of the Shi family, and the reason for the murder was actually for a fish.
——
After knowing the truth about Feng Liang's injury, the three members of the Shi family met in prison under the secret instructions of Uncle Feng and Pei Xingzhi. Under the oppression of certain prison bosses, they lived a miserable life and regretted their actions countless times in prison.
Another half a year later, Feng Liang completed his rehabilitation and stood up again. During the rehabilitation period, he studied high school knowledge with Jiang Xuezhu and took the college entrance examination.
In the end, the two became Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi's older junior classmates.
The autistic child Feng Lihao gradually returned to normal under the acupuncture intervention of Xixi and Meng Wanqiu. Although he still speaks very little, he can already respond to his family.
Little Feng Lihao is also a genius baby. He skipped a grade and entered Xixi's class, replacing little Lele and becoming Xixi's deskmate.
Time flies, everyone is getting better and better, and the country's development is also moving forward steadily. Looking back on my encounter with Pei Xingzhi over the past ten years, it feels like a dream.
Pei Xingzhi noticed Meng Wanqiu looking at him from the corner of his eye. He looked over, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Did Erbao bother you?"
Meng Wanqiu shook her head, her eyes sparkling with stars. She held Pei Xingzhi's hand tightly and said, "No, I just feel that it's great to meet you!"
Pei Xingzhi chuckled.
It was still the familiar, cold voice that had never changed, but it still made Meng Wanqiu so moved.
"Then remember, hold my hand tightly and don't let go."
