Since the words were so clear, Old Man Shu didn't want to hide anything. He said straight to the point: "Little brother is a sensible man, so I, Old Man Shu, will speak frankly. Look, I raised this daughter to this age. This is not only my merit but also my hard work. Now you have brought my daughter to Fengyun Town with just one sentence. It will be difficult for me to see my daughter in the future. Not to mention that she will come back to us to honor us when we are old. These things should not be possible.
"Little brother, I hope you understand that we are not greedy for money, but we also want to have someone to rely on when we are old, so you can't take our daughter away for nothing, right?"
Afraid of saying something wrong, the old man Shu added: "She is an adopted daughter!"
Zhuang Tianming nodded and laughed, "So, Brother Shu, that's what you're thinking. I understand. You're right. You've raised my daughter so well. Even if you haven't done anything great, you've definitely worked hard. I should thank you. How about this... I don't have many banknotes on me, but I still have a thousand taels. If Brother Shu doesn't mind me being a commoner, then you can accept these thousand taels as my reward for you and your wife taking care of my daughter for so many years?"
When Old Man Shu heard that Zhuang Tianming offered a sum of one thousand taels, he almost danced with joy.
Nodding repeatedly at Zhuang Tianming, Old Man Shu said, "Then I will respectfully obey your orders. Zhen Meng, why don't you hurry up and eat? After dinner, you will have to go back to Fengyun Town with your father."
As soon as Shu Zhenmeng heard that she could live in Fengyun Town, she lost her appetite. She took a few bites of rice and threw down her bowl.
"Dad... I'm full. I'll go to my room now to pack some clothes and go back to Fengyun Town with you."
"Hey...you don't need those clothes anymore. I've actually asked your mother to have a few new sets of clothes made for you at a tailor shop in Fengyun Town. Just take a look and see if you like them. If you don't, I'll have you come home and make a few more sets for you."
Hearing this, Shu Zhenmeng felt like she had a beautiful dream. She smiled happily and said, "Dad, no matter what Mom prepares for me, I will like it. Thank you, Dad."
"Alright, enough talking. We still have to catch the boat back to Fengyun Town. Don't you think you should say goodbye to your...adoptive parents?"
"Uh-huh……"
Shu Zhenmeng turned around and glanced at Old Man Shu and Mrs. Ke calmly. She simply said, "Dad... Mom, take care!"
Then she followed Zhuang Tianming.
Zhuang Tianming disagreed. Taking Shu Zhenmeng with him, they officially left Guangming Village.
After everyone had finished their meal, Shu Guozhong saw that there was still a lot of chicken and pig's trotters left on the table. Thinking that Feng Qiao'er had been alone in the house for a long time without eating meat, he secretly packed some chicken and pig's trotters while Mrs. Ke was not paying attention and went to Lizhang Xu's house.
Knock knock knock... knock knock...
There was a gentle knock on the door of Xu Lichang's house. Feng Qiaoer, who was sitting in the main room, heard the familiar three long and two short knocks on the door. She knew that it was Shu Guozhong who came.
With a stern face, Feng Qiaoer opened the door with resentment.
Seeing Feng Qiao'er's stinky expression, Shu Guozhong quickly asked: "My dear, who made you angry? Seeing that you look unhappy, tell me and I will help you beat him up."
