Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 512: The Origins of Madam Feng (6)
"Hehe, but Xuxu still recognized her eldest uncle at a glance."
"Hehehe, you child, your mouth is still so sweet. When did you come back?" Feng Da smiled somewhat awkwardly, then quickly changed the subject.
"I just came back yesterday."
"Mm, I heard from Feng Xi that you got married and even had a pair of dragon-phoenix twins! How long are you staying this time?"
"I did get married and came back with my husband. We will stay a bit longer this time, after all, it’s not easy to return."
Upon hearing this, Feng Da nodded and with a sense of reminiscence said, "Ah, about that past incident, I owe you an apology." The Feng family had been becoming increasingly wealthy over the years, but his heart was always burdened with the past, feeling that he had wronged Feng Xuxu.
Feng Xuxu responded with an understanding smile, "Eldest uncle, let bygones be bygones. Aren’t the rice fields and fish being well taken care of now? There’s no need to bring up the past."
"Hehehe, it’s just your eldest uncle getting muddle-headed." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
"Eldest uncle, do you know how to get to Zhang Hui’s house?" Feng Xuxu looked up at the sky, noting the time; it was almost noon, and they couldn’t afford to delay any longer.
Coming to a realization, Feng Da looked at the maid following them, holding things, and understanding dawned on him what Feng Xuxu was doing at his place, he warmly said, "Let’s go, I’ll walk you there. Anyway, there’s nothing much to do on the land right now."
"Then thank you, eldest uncle."
"You girl, no need to thank me. If anyone should be thankful, it’s the entire Feng Family village that should thank you. Without you, we wouldn’t have been able to live in such spacious houses with tile roofs, the children wouldn’t have been able to go to school, let alone each household having some savings now. In the past, even having an egg was a luxury, and now we can eat meat every day, we all can afford it," Feng Da said fervently.
As Feng Xuxu walked, listening to her eldest uncle’s words, back then, although they had put all the blame on her for the dead fish in the rice fields and the issues with the seedlings, forcing her to compensate them with silver, she couldn’t say it didn’t anger her. Eventually, the truth had come out, and she was cleared of all wrongdoing, but the scar in her heart remained. Even though she still led them to wealth, she couldn’t get over that hurdle in her heart. After so many years, seeing the Feng Family village’s day-by-day improvements, and observing her eldest uncle’s guilt, her heart suddenly lightened. She had been clumsily holding on to grudges for nothing, and she shook her head with a laugh.
"Eldest uncle, my thoughts were simple back then. I just wanted everyone to have enough to eat, to not have to worry about affording healthcare, and I couldn’t bear to see children who couldn’t afford school fees running around, destined to toil the fields with their faces towards the earth and their backs to the sky. If fortune smiled upon us, everyone in our village could have a full belly, but if not, our people would face starvation, even having to sell their children to survive. I never wanted to see that happen. Now that everyone is living comfortably, I can finally stop feeling like a sinner."
"How could you be a sinner? You and Feng Xi are the great benefactors of our village, even the entire Feng Family has basked in your glory. Even though you and Feng Xi are no longer in the family genealogy at home, my father always talked about it, wanting Feng Xi to restore your names, but Feng Xi disagreed, saying he would wait for you to decide when you returned. That’s what my father has been eagerly waiting for day and night," Feng Da chattered the whole way, but to Feng Xuxu, it was all bygones of a long-gone era. In matters of the family genealogy, she would leave the decision to her elder brother. After all, a married daughter doesn’t belong in the family registry, and she had also joined the Royal Family as Yudie.
"Here we are, this is Zhang Hui’s house."
