Chapter 131 Feng Family Parents
Chapter 131 Feng Family Parents
Feng Weiwei's father is the owner of a well-known winery in Sichuan Province. The family business has a long history and was once one of the largest in the province.
During the War of Resistance against Japan, Feng Weiwei's grandparents generously donated money and secretly provided a large amount of material support to the troops.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Feng Weiwei's father actively responded to the country's call and voluntarily handed over most of his family property to the state.
However, 69 years later, the Four-Man Group rebelled, and the Feng family was affected due to their complex historical background.
Some people took the opportunity to conceal the Feng family's contributions, falsely accused the Feng family, and tried to embezzle the Feng family's property.
Fortunately, the Feng family still had some connections, so in the end all they had was their property confiscated, and Mr. and Mrs. Feng were assigned to sweep the streets in the city.
Compared to others who went to Heilongjiang Province or to labor camps, they were considered lucky.
Even so, fearing that they would implicate their daughter, Feng's parents still published a notice in the newspaper severing all ties with her.
Even now that the storm has passed, the Feng family parents are filled with self-blame and guilt when they recall the past.
"It's all our fault for dragging Weiwei and Zhicheng down with us," said Mother Feng, her voice trembling, tears welling in her weary eyes.
Feng Weiwei held her mother's hand tightly and said firmly, "Mom, what are you saying? Even if you sever ties with me through a public notice in the newspaper, you will always be my parents."
Liang Zhicheng also comforted her, "That's right, Mom, it's all over now."
After saying this, Aunt Li also chimed in with words of comfort, "The hard times of the past are almost over; good times are just around the corner."
"What do you mean by 'implicate'? Since he's thought it through and decided to marry Weiwei, it's all his own choice."
"Besides, our Liang family is very satisfied with Weiwei. We're glad that you, our in-laws, don't regret entrusting your daughter to us."
The Liang family mother and son were eloquent and persuasive, which gradually put the Feng family parents at ease.
"Speaking of which, I know the leaders of your military region." After drinking a couple of glasses of wine, Mr. Feng was a little tipsy. "If it weren't for his intervention, we would definitely have been exiled to Heilongjiang Province."
Mother Feng tugged at his clothes and then glanced cautiously at Cheng Baichuan and his wife.
"Her dad was drunk and talking nonsense," said Mrs. Feng with a forced smile.
This old man is too happy today. He's had a little to drink and started talking nonsense. Doesn't he see there are outsiders here today?
Li Wanqing glanced at Cheng Baichuan, and Cheng Baichuan instantly understood what his wife meant.
Is he just curious?
"Don't worry, Auntie. We are all soldiers trained by Commander Cheng, and we know what's important," Cheng Baichuan reassured her.
Although the policy has changed, Cheng Chi's special status means that if someone finds something to use against him, the risk is still very high.
Hearing Cheng Baichuan's words, Feng's mother breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Actually, we're not very familiar with him. It's just that I was a close classmate of his lover back then."
Upon hearing this, Li Wanqing became curious, "Auntie, what kind of person is the chief's wife?"
Mother Feng tilted her head slightly, lost in memories. "Shuzhen was the prettiest girl in our school back then. Later, when we visited the army, she met Cheng Chi."
"love at first sight!"
"Cheng Chi had experienced war and was already a regimental commander at a young age. The two got married soon after."
"Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on us. At that time, the country was still unstable, and some people were provoking us on the border. Cheng Chi was ordered to fight the enemy, and Shu Zhen was worried about him, so she went with him."
"Later I heard that Shuzhen became pregnant shortly after going to the front line. She refused to leave until her body could no longer take it, and then Cheng Chi had a guard escort her back."
"But after that parting, I never saw Shuzhen again, and the child disappeared without a trace."
This wasn't the first time Cheng Baichuan had heard about this incident; after all, Cheng Chi had already told him about it because of the mix-up years ago.
The Liang family members were all extremely surprised, especially Feng Weiwei.
"Mom, why haven't you mentioned this before?"
Feng's mother patted Feng Weiwei's hand affectionately, "You met Aunt Shuzhen back then, but you were too young at the time."
"Furthermore, after your Aunt Shuzhen disappeared, I was heartbroken for a long time, and I rarely mentioned her after that."
Feng Weiwei nodded knowingly, "So, the aunt in the photo album you used to look at often is the leader's wife?"
Feng's mother nodded. Feng Weiwei frowned and thought for a long time before saying uncertainly, "Although I'm not very clear about it, I think Brother Cheng and that aunt look a bit alike."
As soon as Feng Weiwei said this, both her father and mother looked at Cheng Baichuan, and even Li Wanqing looked over.
"He does look somewhat like him!" Mrs. Feng frowned slightly. "But why do I feel he looks more like Cheng Chi?"
Cheng Baichuan felt a chill run down his spine. "Auntie, there are many people in this world who look alike."
Liang Zhicheng laughed too, "Mom, you know what, because of his appearance, when he first joined the army, he was mistaken for the son of a high-ranking officer."
"Many girls in the military region wanted to date him, but he was clueless about romance and broke many girls' hearts."
"Ouch!" He was about to continue complaining when a dull pain shot through his leg.
Liang Zhicheng turned to look at Cheng Baichuan beside him, his face full of confusion, "Why did you kick me?"
Cheng Baichuan glanced at Li Wanqing, who had a calm expression, and Liang Zhicheng understood immediately.
"It seems that Old Cheng's time hasn't come yet; he's waiting for his sister-in-law," Liang Zhicheng explained, trying to make amends.
Li Wanqing gave a faint "oh" and then put some greens into Nuonuo's bowl.
Nono frowned, looking pitiful, "Mommy~~"
Li Wanqing glanced at her and ruffled her hair. "You need to eat meat and vegetables, be good!"
Nono sighed like a little adult, which made everyone laugh.
"I must say, the way this little guy frowns is more like Shuzhen!" Mrs. Feng joked.
He does not mean that.
Li Wanqing and Cheng Baichuan's smiles both paused slightly, because Cheng Chi and Cao Xuefeng had said the same thing before.
If they were desperate to find someone, what about Feng's parents?
The two suddenly fell silent, and Feng's mother thought she had said something she shouldn't have, and her expression became a little uneasy.
Li Wanqing quickly asked with a smile, "Does Auntie also know Dr. Cao Xuefeng?"
Seeing that they weren't angry, Feng's mother breathed a sigh of relief.
“They know each other.” Mrs. Feng nodded. “Cao Xuefeng and Shuzhen grew up together.”
Thinking back on the past, Mrs. Feng couldn't help but laugh. "To be honest, we always thought the two of them would end up together."
"Unexpectedly, Shuzhen ended up marrying Cheng Chi, whom she had only known for a short time." Mother Feng couldn't help but sigh, "So, you really can't predict fate."
As she spoke, Mrs. Feng sighed, "It's been almost 10 years since we last saw Cao Xuefeng. I wonder how he's doing?"
Li Wanqing's eyes flickered slightly; she remembered that Cao Xuefeng seemed to have never gotten married.
Could it be because... the girl he likes got married, so he's decided to never marry again?
