Chapter 1343: Chapter 1343: Keeping Mediation Pulling 2

Wenxiu was taken aback, noticing a certain phrase in Feng Qingyun’s words, "No father, no mother?"

"Yes, we are all considered children without fathers or mothers since we were young." Feng Qingyun never denied her past, a hint of slyness flashing in her eyes, "I have an older sister, Tianjun and Tianzhi have my brother-in-law and Uncle Lu, but it’s different for Guan Cheng and Guan Yu—they were left homeless, wandering the streets without a single relative or elder. When my sister met them, Guan Yu—Guan Cheng’s younger brother—was on his last breath, ill. It was my sister who saved his life and took them both home to raise."

At this point, Feng Qingyun sighed, "Although after coming to our home, Guan Cheng was very diligent in his chores, studied hard, and is now skilled in medicine, can do laundry and cook, his luck is bad. There are always impractical people looking to harm him, which made his marriage life very difficult. To this day he hasn’t found a wife, but he himself is very open-minded, saying he would rather be alone than make a bad match."

Wenxiu’s cheeks flushed, and she asked in a low voice, "Qingyun, why are you telling me all this?"

Feng Qingyun wouldn’t admit that she brought up Guan Cheng on purpose, smiling broadly, "Why wouldn’t I? We are good friends, aren’t we? I’m just excited to see a relative and wanted to share my family’s situation with you!"

She whispered in Wenxiu’s ear, lowering her voice, "Haven’t you told me secretly that you most admire Master Jin Ruochu? You said he was a good friend of your grandfather and also your maternal great-uncle, although his whereabouts are unknown. Let me also tell you in secret, Guan Cheng is Master Jin’s last disciple and has been studying under him for several years."

The reason she looked after Wenxiu in the troupe indeed had something to do with Jin Ruochu!

Although she didn’t take her studies very seriously, she always remembered the lessons instructed by those elders.

She came from a poor peasant family, with a pure and red ancestry. Her sister and brother-in-law were quite famous, and the legion of relatives and friends of her sister and brother-in-law could not be ignored either. Wenxiu, however, could never shake off the label of being the child of a capitalist, and her situation was certainly not as good as Qingyun’s.

After hearing Feng Qingyun’s words, Wenxiu was shocked, exclaiming, "What did you say?"

"You heard me, I’m not going to repeat it, lest others overhear," Feng Qingyun pursed her lips and smiled, her deep dimples showing, "When you think about it, we actually are one big family."

If later on Wenxiu and Guan Cheng were to become revolutionary comrades, that would make them even more of a family.

Feng Qingyun’s eyes curved, the details undecided yet she was already imagining the most wonderful possibilities, a trait she shared with a certain nephew.

Wenxiu, not receiving the answer she wanted, tried to recall what Feng Qingyun had said earlier. She couldn’t help but pull her into a secluded area, whispering softly, "How is my grandfather doing?"

Feng Qingyun nodded, "Very well. Master Jin was sent down to the location of our old home, just a few steps from our house, and Guan Cheng took very good care of him. Besides my sister, Guan Cheng is the best cook, and he attends to almost all of Master Jin’s needs. Although I don’t know what happened in your family, you don’t have to worry about Master Jin."

Wenxiu was moved to tears, "My mother has been most worried about my grandfather, but we have no power to do anything. My grandparents left the mainland for Hong Kong seven or eight years ago and have vanished ever since. Afterward, my father, who had severed ties with my grandparents, also abandoned me and my mother, disappearing into the vast sea of people. My mother had to sever ties with him and remarry to save our lives. Later, when we heard that my grandfather was in trouble, we had no way to leave our residence to inquire about him in the Capital. So, when I was accepted into the Capital’s troupe, I was incredibly happy."
