He murmured, "During my lifetime, I want to move Fengying's remains back to my Zhang family's ancestral tomb. I don't want her to be left alone out there."
He seemed to be talking to himself, but also to Zhao Lihan.
Zhao Lihan felt a little troubled when he heard this, because what would his current partner think?
Zhao Lihan said, "Dad, I can't answer you right away. I still need to discuss it with your two children."
"Li Han, you are right. I will consider this matter."
…
They finally reached the halfway point of the mountain.
The environment here is quiet. There is a conical mound with a rectangular stone tablet in front of it. The surrounding weeds have been cleared away.
"Dad, we're here. This is where Mom is buried."
Wang Xiaolan placed the offerings in front of the tombstone and then lit two candles.
While burning paper money, Zhao Lihan said, "Mom, your beloved dad has come to see you!"
Old Master Zhang's trembling hands stroked the cold tombstone like a candle in the wind, and his cloudy eyes were like a lake soaked in tears.
"Fengying, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have written to you asking you to come to the army."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and was about to slap himself in the face! Just as the hand was about to land on his cheek, a strong and powerful hand suddenly reached out like lightning and grabbed his wrist firmly.
This hand belonged to none other than Zhao Lihan. He held the other's arm tightly, and said with a firm and serious look in his eyes: "Don't do this!" His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable strength.
Old Master Zhang's body was shaking like a dead leaf in the cold wind. Zhao Lihan held him tightly in his warm arms and comforted him carefully.
"Dad, don't be too sad. Mom never forgot you until her death. She just felt ashamed to see you."
"Son! I am so ashamed of her..."
"I should be the one to die, Fengying! I made you suffer for so many years... I'm the one who caused you so much suffering. You should have a happy family, but instead you've suffered humiliation here. You've endured it in silence and raised our child so well. I've let you and your mother down."
Mr. Zhang choked up for a while and almost couldn't breathe. Fortunately, Wang Xiaolan had made preparations in advance. Seeing this, she immediately took out silver needles from the medicine box and injected acupuncture into his acupuncture points. Only then did Mr. Zhang recover.
"Dad, don't be too sad. Take care of yourself. My mother-in-law is in heaven. She would be very happy to know that you came to visit her."
Old Master Zhang said, "Fengying! Our separation on our wedding day has become our final farewell. How can this not grieve me? I wish I could just crawl in here and reunite with you..."
Old Master Zhang fainted again as if he had been hit hard.
