Chapter 1049: Chapter 1050: Village Orphan 94

Liu Dashan looked at Liu Gang, "So much time has passed, why is it being brought up again?"

All the honors have been given, and all the rewards have been granted, so why bring it up now?

Liu Dashan’s heart suddenly tightened, worried that some matters might need to be investigated again.

If it’s investigated again, could there be trouble?

It’s not that Liu Dashan has a problem, but given everything the family has been through, he’s particularly anxious when he hears something’s happening now.

Liu Gang didn’t know either, "I’m not sure of the specifics; it seems Feng Hao got involved because of some other matter."

"The original investigation was about that incident, but Feng Hao himself made a mistake, thought he was discovered, and confessed on his own."

Liu Gang truly didn’t know how to describe it; Feng Hao’s guts, trying to steal from a big factory’s warehouse and trying to tip someone off.

Even more unexpectedly, he had the audacity to act against Liu Hong.

Everyone was stunned, "So it was Feng Hao who ratted himself out."

"It’s thanks to Liu Hong’s spirit above."

Everyone sighed, "But that kid Feng Hao really has no conscience."

"When he was young, he often sought out Feng Lan, and Zhang Yu’s mom was alive then, she would give him some sweets."

"And yet he did this."

Everyone felt pity, both Zhang Lina and Liu Hong treated Feng Hao well, but he ended up repaying kindness with betrayal.

"By the way, Zhang Yu, will you accept...?" someone curiously asked.

"No acceptance, he must die," Zhang Yu said harshly, "Everyone must pay for their actions."

Zhang Yu would accept no terms from the Feng family, "Don’t say he’s young, he is young."

"But he has never acknowledged his mistakes."

"After my father passed, during the days he came, did he realize his mistake?"

"No, he didn’t, he was scheming against me."

"A person like that..." Zhang Yu took a deep breath, "should learn the lesson with his life."

Zhang Yu anticipated that Feng Lan might come to plead. She knew Feng’s patriarch and the others weren’t devoid of affection for Feng Hao, nor were they unwilling to save him.

However, they were powerless to save Feng Hao, especially now that they had a great-grandson to consider.

Zhang Yu thought Feng Lan, as Feng Hao’s most doting aunt, would definitely step forward. She was truly adept at all kinds of crying and pleading.

But they waited and waited, and never saw Feng Lan’s figure, even when Feng Hao’s final verdict came, Feng Lan never showed up.

This made Zhang Yu really curious, could it be that Feng Lan was so heartbroken by Feng Hao that she knew of his predicament but still didn’t appear?

Indeed, if it were her, she wouldn’t appear either, just letting him end his life like this.

Feng Hao also hoped for Feng Lan to appear, he had already decided that if Feng Lan could save him this time, he would never let Feng Lan stay at home; he’d ensure her comfortable retirement, no longer resenting her, he’d treat her well as if she were his own mother.

But he waited and waited, until the verdict came out, just as expected, his life was entering a countdown.

Feng Hao was truly panicked now, he was still young, having just married, without children, fearing that if he died, his wife would remarry, leaving him without anyone to tend his grave.

He cried and clamored, hoping to find Feng Lan, willing to pay any price to have her save him.

Even if it meant a heavy price, he was willing; he just wanted to survive.

Unfortunately, no matter how he cried or shouted, he couldn’t find Feng Lan, "Dad, Mom, can’t you find Aunt?"

Feng Hao sat in prison, his entire state was not well, pondering what he should do at such an age.

But after a whole day, he couldn’t think of where Feng Lan could be.

It’s not that Feng Hao didn’t think of finding Liu Gang, he believed Feng Lan couldn’t just not contact Liu Gang.

Unfortunately, Liu Gang said straightforwardly that since the divorce, he hadn’t contacted Feng Lan, asking why they hadn’t taken good care of her.

Liu Gang knew that Feng Lan hadn’t been home long before the Feng family began to scorn her, using silent treatment to force her into divorce.

He knew this, but never interfered then, nor had the standing to criticize now.

Feng Hao knew that after Feng Lan no longer sought out Liu Gang, it meant she was driven away by him, "Karma, it truly is karma."

And with such murmurs of karma, Feng Hao ended his short life.

Zhang Yu, upon learning of Feng Hao’s death, wished to immediately tell Liu Hong, to share that the major vendetta was avenged.

But then thought better of it, choosing restraint, having persisted this long, why not hold out a little longer.

In his last moments, Feng Hao kept wondering where Feng Lan was and why she didn’t care about him in his life and death.

Everyone thought it was because Feng Lan was angry about Feng Hao’s behavior, knowing he’d gotten into trouble, and still didn’t appear.

In reality, what people didn’t know was that at that moment, Feng Lan was in a place where heaven didn’t answer when called, and earth was unresponsive.

The man she chose this time was supposed to be better than Liu Gang in every way: prospects, job, and sophistication.

But unexpectedly, the man turned out to be cowardly, a big coward.

Since she followed him there, her life has been as if steeped in bitter herbs, never-ending tasks every day.

The worst part was a bedridden old person at home, leaving her constantly busy.

Every task was done in a hurry, worried she’d miss something important the old person would say, missing crucial information, resulting in chaos on the bed, with her as the scapegoat.

Now Feng Lan truly regrets her eagerness to marry, had she considered more carefully, she would not have ended up here.

Even enduring the Feng family’s disdain at home would’ve been better.

Had she known it would be this miserable, no matter what her parents said, she’d have reported Feng Hao and got her share of work.

As long as she had money, she could apply for a dormitory at work and have peace of mind.

With a monthly income, she wouldn’t need to look at anyone’s face, doing as she pleases.

Alas, she realized this too late, unable to leave now.

It’s not unwillingness to run, but having no money at hand, where would she go if she did?

Feng Lan numbly lived on, with no hope for the future.

She had thought the Feng family wouldn’t care if she lived or died, but wasn’t Liu Ke and Liu Yang still there?

But similarly, she couldn’t reach Liu Ke and the others, destined to labor in some place her whole life.

Once she’s too old and infirm, there’s no one to care for her in illness, she will end her life in pain.
