Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Birth Mother’s Address

Zhang Xiaomei patted Fu Xiaoxiao’s shoulder and continued, "Such things should be directly stopped, nipped in the bud, not letting them have any ideas."

Fu Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but applaud Zhang Xiaomei. "Impressive, impressive."

"It’s nothing, let me tell you, my Wenqiang hands over all his allowances to me." Zhang Xiaomei looked at Fu Xiaoxiao with a boastful expression. "He said that everything at home is decided by me."

"Then you’ve really found a good husband!" Fu Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly and cooperatively.

"Xiaomei~"

Suddenly someone called Xiaomei’s name, Fu Xiaoxiao recognized it was Granny Wang. Zhang Xiaomei waved to Fu Xiaoxiao. "I’ll teach you when I have time, my mother-in-law is calling me, I’ll head back first."

After Zhang Xiaomei went home, Fu Xiaoxiao also headed home.

Just as she reached the side yard, ready to go to the backyard, she heard someone running towards her from behind.

Fu Xiaoxiao turned cautiously and saw Wang Wenqiang running over, stopping in front of her. "Sister-in-law, this is ten yuan. Buy some supplements for Lu Tuan to help him recover."

"No, I can’t accept it. It’s enough that you have the thought!" Fu Xiaoxiao shook her head and refused the money Wang Wenqiang offered.

"Sister-in-law, please don’t refuse. Lu Tuan’s injury this time, I share part of the blame. If I hadn’t held back at a critical moment, Lu Tuan wouldn’t have been impacted by the explosion while covering for me." Wang Wenqiang scratched his head, frustrated.

"It’s his duty as a soldier, take it back! I can’t accept it!" Fu Xiaoxiao shook her head, refusing to accept the money Wang Wenqiang tried to give.

Wang Wenqiang was helpless. Fu Xiaoxiao turned and walked to the backyard while Wang Wenqiang sighed, having gone through the trouble to get the money, yet unable to give it away, returning with the money.

"What’s wrong?" Granny Wang saw her son returning dejectedly, wiped her hands, and stepped forward to ask.

"Lu Tuan’s wife refused to accept it." Wang Wenqiang guessed that Lu Feng would surely get promoted this time, wanting to build good relations. However, Fu Xiaoxiao was adamant about not accepting his money.

"If she won’t accept it, she won’t. What’s there to be disappointed about? With your capabilities, you’ll surpass him one day, mom believes in you." Granny Wang didn’t see anything worth cozying up to about Lu Feng; he had no backing, everything was fought for with his life, no good family background, doing the hardest and most tiring work.

Her son is so good; what development can he have following him? Coziness shouldn’t be directed at him...

"Besides, why don’t you strive higher? Lu Feng has no background, find those who can help you!" Granny Wang’s words made Wang Wenqiang think, and he turned and gave the money to Zhang Xiaomei nearby.

Zhang Xiaomei happily took back the ten yuan, quickly putting it into her purse.

Just now saying to take out ten yuan, pained her greatly.

After picking vegetables from the backyard, Fu Xiaoxiao returned home, turning to tell Lu Feng about Wang Wenqiang’s matter.

Lu Feng listened and just shook his head.

"Effort in the wrong direction."

"He should be cozying up to those with family backgrounds, those with power." Fu Xiaoxiao said lightly, understanding human nature, not surprised.

If there’s a shortcut, everyone would want to take it; who would opt for the long and winding road?

"I wouldn’t." Lu Feng stated seriously.

"I know you wouldn’t, I’m talking about others." Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Feng, such an upright man would avoid paths he finds crowded, preferring the long road for extra exercise.

"Mm." Lu Feng nodded, satisfied.

"By the way, I promised Xiao Chen and Xiao Lin I’d take them to see their mom. Can you find her address, or do you know where she’s remarried?" Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Feng, she had promised the kids to take them to see their birth mother.

"Yes." Mentioning that person, Lu Feng’s smile vanished.

"Can’t say?" Fu Xiaoxiao noticed Lu Feng’s unpleasant expression and asked cautiously.

"I can say, but be prepared. If you truly want to go, have Xiao Lu drive you." Lu Feng shook his head; he had little good feelings for her.

Remarrying, he could understand.

But why abandon her two kids, allowing her family to take all the pension, and then be forced to remarry again?

It’s the same situation; why repeat the mistake?

"She is the mother of those two children, we won’t disturb her much, just fulfill the children’s concerns." Fu Xiaoxiao could guess; if it were her, she wouldn’t want to meet such a person either.

But she promised the kids, and with the promise comes the duty to fulfill it.

"Mm, here’s the address." Lu Feng walked to the desk, wrote down an address, and handed the note to Fu Xiaoxiao.

Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Feng’s handwriting, structured like a meticulously built fortress.

The form was precise; every part proportionate, like well-trained soldiers, neatly arranged.

Truly... even writing was so upright.

If these words could fight, they’d surely be formidable soldiers.

"Lower River Village? That seems not far?" Fu Xiaoxiao looked at the address; didn’t Lu Lin attend school in Upper River Village? Lower River Village shouldn’t be far, right?

"Mr. Fu, you might not understand the area well. Ask Xiao Chen later about the distance between Upper and Lower River Villages." A hint of a smile appeared in Lu Feng’s eyes, knowing Fu Xiaoxiao was unfamiliar with the local villages, possibly thinking Lower River Village was close to Upper River Village.

But in fact, the villages are more than an hour apart.

One’s upstream, the other’s downstream, not adjacent at all.

"You could just say it’s far, not make a joke out of me." Fu Xiaoxiao glared at Lu Feng, full of mischief.

Just tell her directly; if she asked Xiao Chen, he’d know she made a folly!

"Okay, okay, I’m wrong, I’m wrong." Lu Feng chuckled, willing...

"Are you secretly insulting me? Want to say only women and petty people are hard to manage?" Fu Xiaoxiao placed her hands on her hips, squinting.

Lu Feng coughed awkwardly; how did she guess?

"No." Currently, Lu Feng wouldn’t dare upset Fu Xiaoxiao, quickly denying.

Fu Xiaoxiao smugly scoffed, leaving the room.

In the yard, Fu Xiaoxiao looked at the address in her hand, glanced at Xiao Chen, who was writing, and smiled. "Xiao Chen, do you see what this is?"

"Mrs. Fu, what’s this? It’s just a piece of paper, isn’t it?" Xiao Chen blinked, looking at the paper in Fu Xiaoxiao’s hand, asking lightly.

"It’s the address I just got, your mother’s address." Fu Xiaoxiao thought Xiao Chen would be very happy, but after waiting a while, there was no sound. She turned her head and saw Xiao Chen lowering his head.

"Mrs. Fu, can I not go?" Xiao Chen looked at Fu Xiaoxiao with tearful eyes...
