Chapter 206 Visit to the Fu Family

This is a big courtyard. A country woman, no matter how well-off she is in the village, will not be afraid of the stage in a place like this.

Sun Chunhua was going to the market to buy vegetables and prepare lunch, so Fu Qingye secretly whispered a few words in her ear.

Sun Chunhua had raised Fu Qingye and doted on her since she was young, so how could she not listen? Besides, it was Fu Weixin who agreed to let her cook more dishes, and the money he gave her for buying groceries was always more. This time it was much more than usual, so she decided to be extravagant and spend it all.

It was almost noon before Mr. Fu went upstairs and downstairs with the help of the guards.

He had injured his leg on the battlefield before and had a limp. His legs were in terrible pain when it rained, but he would only use a wheelchair when the pain was severe. He usually moved around with a cane.

He has already retired from his position, so he doesn't have to report to the office every time. If there is something important, his subordinates will come to his house to ask for instructions.

Usually after breakfast in the morning, he would read the newspaper, listen to the radio, etc.

However, today, maybe because I’m getting old, I looked through a lot of old photos.

Although Shao Wenhui is his daughter-in-law, she is also the orphan of his comrade-in-arms. She was adopted by the Fu family when she was young and grew up with Fu Weixin as childhood sweethearts. In Mr. Fu's heart, he treats her like his own daughter.

Therefore, he was always very sad when Shao Wenhui passed away.

Flipping through the photos of Fu Weixin and Shao Wenhui, Mr. Fu felt a little impatient for some reason.

The young lady he met in Beijing last time was almost a replica of Shao Wenhui when she was young. Although the results of the investigation were disappointing, he still refused to give up that idea in his heart.

What if it really was the child that Wenhui had lost—his granddaughter? Even if her adoptive parents were still alive and it was difficult to recognize her now, if Wenhui knew that the child was still alive, maybe she would not blame herself anymore, right?

At this time, there was a knock on the door and the guard went to open it.

Lizhan brought Xia Juanjuan, Xiaowen, Xiaowu, Beibei and the triplets in.

Li Zhan saluted Mr. Fu and greeted him, "Mr. Fu."

Master Fu first glanced at Xia Juanjuan, then nodded calmly: "Are you here?"

Li Zhan smiled and said, "Yes."

He then pulled Xia Juanjuan to his side and introduced her, "Grandpa, this is Juanjuan, the one you met in the hospital last time. She is my wife, and the kids from our family."

Xia Juanjuan still remembered that last time, before she returned to the village, the old man inexplicably called her over and asked her a few questions. She smiled and greeted him, "Hello, Master Fu."

Lizhan can call him "grandpa", but it would not be appropriate for her to follow suit. After thinking it over, she decided that it would be more respectful to call him "grandpa".

Mr. Fu was dazed for a moment, then he responded, "Yes. This time you come here to get acquainted. Next time you come to Beijing, you don't have to stay in a guesthouse. It will be the same if you stay at home."

Xia Juanjuan was somewhat flattered when she heard this. Although she was Lizhan's daughter-in-law, it was too impolite to move into someone else's house when they had a disagreement.

However, since the elders said so, she just agreed and said with a smile: "Oh! Thank you, Master Fu."

Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei also greeted him politely, and when they addressed him, they didn't use his last name, but simply called him, "Hello, Grandpa Zeng!"

Mr. Fu was quite fond of children. He did not allow the guards to help him. He walked up to the kids with his cane, patted their heads, and said with a smile, "Okay. Come here often with your mother in the future."

As he said this, he went to look at the triplets in the stroller.

Yanyan, Yeye and Yaoyao were sleeping, their three little heads gathered together, one's little hands were on another's body, and another's little feet kicked over the quilt. They looked as delicate as jade and so adorable!

Mr. Fu liked them even more, with a kind smile on his face: "These three little brats are great! You are so lucky."

If he wasn't clumsy and afraid of accidentally dropping the child, he would have picked up the child.

Li Zhan grinned and said, "Yes. It's all thanks to my wife."

As he was speaking, Fu Qingye came back.

Fu Qingye was a little more afraid of Mr. Fu than Fu Weixin. After all, the old man was usually quite serious. In addition, she had given up halfway through her plan to become an educated youth. Therefore, she did not dare to act rashly in front of the old man.

When he met Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan, he naturally did not dare to express his love for Li Zhan and his hatred and jealousy towards Xia Juanjuan too much.

However, she also had her own little thoughts. She wore a newly bought spring long-sleeved dress, her hair was braided into two braids, and she put some face cream on her face and raised her eyebrows.

She glanced at Li Zhan and greeted him happily: "Brother Li Zhan, you are here!"

Then he reluctantly called Xia Juanjuan: "Sister-in-law."

Xia Juanjuan didn't say anything, just nodded, indicating that she heard it.

After all, she was here as a guest, and as long as Fu Qingye didn't do anything naughty or dangerous, she didn't intend to make things awkward for both parties.

As for the incident of the cowshed being reported in Qingshui Village, the piece of paper that was secretly placed in Shen Wanxue's house is still in her space. She will compare the handwriting with it when she has the chance. There is still a long way to go.

After saying hello, Fu Qingye obediently said that he was going to the kitchen to help Aunt Sun cook, and then left.

But before turning around, he still secretly looked at Xia Juanjuan with coldness and contempt.

Humph! A country woman is a country woman. Look at her old-fashioned clothes. How can she be worthy of a fight?

Even if I give birth to triplets...so what?

That's how great Li Zhan is! If she married Li Zhan, she might be the one to give birth to triplets!

However, why does she look so good even though she is wearing such old-fashioned clothes?

If ordinary people dress like this, it would be considered tacky, but when Xia Juanjuan dresses like this, she looks like a natural beauty.

Fu Qingye felt that she looked her best when she dressed up carefully and looked at herself in the mirror. But when she stood next to Xia Juanjuan, even though she was extremely reluctant, she had to admit that she had become a vulgar woman!

I really want to... scratch her face and see if Brother Lizhan still likes her in the future!

Fu Qingye had just entered the kitchen when Fu Nanzheng came in with Fu Beifa and Jiang Wan's two children.

The Fu family has never been prosperous.

Mr. Fu had only one child, Fu Weixin, and also adopted Shao Wenhui.

Fu Weixin was better off, having three sons, the lost daughter, and Fu Qingye, a daughter adopted by Shao Wenhui.

Among the sons of the Fu family, the eldest brother Fu Dongjin and his wife only have one son, who is thirteen years old this year and lives with the eldest brother and his wife in another place.

The second elder brother Fu Beifa and Jiang Wan had a son and a daughter. The older boy is named Fu Yuanchao, who is eight years old this year, and the younger one is a daughter, named Fu Heping, who is six years old this year. Because Fu Beifa and Jiang Wan have never had a fixed place to stay for work, they have been taken care of by Grandpa Fu since they were young, that is, the two children in front of us.

As for Fu Nanzheng and Fu Qingye, they are not married yet.

Now, Fu Yuanchao and Fu Heping are both in primary school and they just came back from school at noon.

Fu Nanzheng smiled and said, "Are you here already? You know Uncle Lizhan, Yuan Chao, Heping, and this is Uncle Lizhan's wife, Xia Juanjuan. You can call her Aunt Juanjuan from now on."

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Third brother, your way of addressing people is wrong, isn't it? Shouldn't you call my wife auntie?"
