Wei Fu asked, "What did your father do when you were a child, and what did your mother do?"
Peng Sheng said, "My father is a carpenter. Before he married my mother, he could only do odd jobs with his master. But after he married my mother, he was able to take on some work on his own. Later, the owner of a furniture shop here took a fancy to my father's skills and hired him to work as a master carpenter in his shop."
"My mother stayed at home to take care of me and my grandparents. People said that my family's life got better and better after my father married my mother, but... who knew that something like this would happen later."
"If you work in someone else's shop, there are set times for going in and going home every day, right? Was it your father's day off when the bad guys broke into your house?"
Wei Fu knew that people like Tingyu had two days of rest every month and could do their own things.
The expression on Peng Sheng's face changed as Wei Fu said this: "No, I clearly remember that I sent my father to work that day!"
He also stuffed a steamed bun into his father's hand with his own hands.
"Then why did your father suddenly come back? Are there still people who worked with your father in Liaocheng?"
Peng Sheng immediately said, "Uncle Shunzi is still here. He and my father are both master chefs in that shop. I learned my skills from him. I will go and invite him right away."
As Peng Sheng spoke, he was about to walk out.
Wei Fu said, "I'll send someone over. I have other questions to ask."
Peng Sheng told the official where he worked. He was considered to have inherited his father's business. He was sent to school when he was five years old. His family was able to support him by living frugally. After his father passed away, his mother still gritted her teeth and let him continue to go to school, but he was not cut out for studying.
He could no longer concentrate on his studies at the age of eight, so his mother sent him to learn carpentry from Liu Shunzi, a good friend of his father.
Uncle Shunzi had no children and had always treated Shunzi like his own son, teaching and raising him. Shunzi learned carpentry very easily and was able to start working as an apprentice at the age of thirteen. He now had some status in the shop and earned a good monthly income.
"After your father passed away, your mother stayed at home all the time and never went out to work?" Wei Fu continued to ask.
Peng Sheng didn't know how to answer. "My mother is pretty, and she's always teased by hooligans when she goes out, so she doesn't dare to go out much. When my father was alive, he would occasionally take my mother out when he was free. But after my father passed away, my mother rarely went out anymore. The only time she went out was when I met my wife."
"Have you ever asked your mother why that villain killed your father? Was it someone you knew or someone you didn't know?"
Peng Sheng said, "When I grew up, I asked my mother about it. She said she didn't know the man either. He broke into the house that day intending to steal our property, but seeing her appearance, he wanted to molest her. It was only because my father came back that she was saved. But during the struggle, he was hacked to death with an axe."
He was extremely sad and upset, and almost spoke with gritted teeth.
He also hated the villain who killed his father.
"Princess, Peng Sheng's mother has been found." Long Xi's voice came.
When Long Yin saw that Peng Sheng's mother was missing, he asked Long Xi to go find her.
It is not difficult for the dragon clan to find a missing ordinary human.
However, Long Xi's expression was quite interesting when he said this.
When Peng Sheng heard that his mother had been found, he immediately came out of the kitchen: "Uncle Shunzi, you're here too!"
"Mother, tell the princess who kidnapped you. She will never let the bad guy go."
Wei Fu followed him out. She asked curiously, "Peng Sheng, didn't you say your mother couldn't get out of bed?"
After being asked this by Wei Fu, Peng Sheng looked at the standing Widow Peng.
Peng Sheng widened his eyes...
Long Yin walked over to Wei Fu and said to her, "When Long Xi went looking for someone just now, these two were together and were heading out of the city."
Wei Fu: (ΩДΩ)
Peng Sheng looked at Uncle Shunzi, whom he regarded as a father, in shock. He then looked at his mother and shook his head uncontrollably, saying, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. You must have seen it wrong. It must be my mother who went to see Uncle Shunzi about something."
Peng Sheng's wife came out of the kitchen and said quietly, "But, isn't mother paralyzed? I've been taking care of her for several years. I ask her every day if she's feeling better and if she can walk."
Widow Peng said angrily, "You're talking nonsense. How can you ask me this every day?"
"Mother, you've been paralyzed for years, how come you can walk all of a sudden? Why didn't you tell me you were going out? Our house is so small, how could I not see you when you went out? I'm not blind. Or are you going to tell my husband that I'm lying again?"
"But my husband doesn't know you can leave!"
Widow Peng seemed to be irritated by her daughter-in-law. She held her chest and said, "You lied in the first place. I suddenly realized I could walk this morning, so I thought about going out to tell Sheng'er the good news. I clearly told you before I left."
She looked at Peng Sheng: "Sheng'er, why didn't your wife tell you that I can walk now?"
Peng Sheng knew that his wife was a liar, so he said to her angrily, "How could you lie about such a thing?"
Wei Fu silently extended his hand to Long Yin. He would feel unfulfilled if he didn't eat something at this time.
Long Yin silently took out a bag of dried meat that Tingyu had made for her from her little bag, and also took a bag for herself and Long Xi.
The three of them found a place and sat down in a row like a WIFI signal.
After talking about his wife, he went to comfort his mother: "Mom, don't bother with her. She is a good person, but she can't control her mouth."
Peng Sheng's wife smiled sadly and said, "Peng Sheng, please divorce me!"
There is no end to this day.
Peng Sheng asked in shock: "What's wrong? I just said something to you. It's obviously your fault!"
Wei Fu couldn't bear it any longer and said, "When we touched your mother's quilt just now, it was still warm, which means she just left not long ago."
"There's only one way out of the alley you live in. We didn't run into your mother when we came in!"
The onlookers also reacted: "I have been playing with my children in the alley today, and I really haven't seen your mother go out."
Peng Sheng looked at his mother angrily: "Mom, why did you lie to me!"
"Why did you lie and even accused Wen Niang of lying!"
"What's going on between you and Uncle Shunzi?"
He also heard what Long Xi said just now, but it didn't pass through his ears or enter his heart.
