Volume 1 Chapter 13: The Calm Before the Storm at the Feng Residence
The third update is here...... You must remember to collect it, I'm all cried out......
———————————————————————————————
Peng Yuanzheng sighed and said, "Professor Feng, I was thinking of selling it after taking a look at the situation..."
Peng Yuanzheng's words had not finished, and Feng Botao's face changed, his heart skipped a beat, frowning hastily, "This is not nonsense, this precious heirloom should be passed down from generation to generation, how can it be sold? Moreover, this is a memento of your father's life, it must be kept well. Little Peng, you are still young, don't have such a twisted mind!"
Feng Botao was about to lose his temper and scold Peng Yuanzheng, but in the end he still covered it up.
"Professor Feng, I'm also doing this out of desperation. To be honest with you, my family is in urgent need of money, and my mother's health is not good either. If it can be exchanged for money to improve our living conditions and make my mother's life better in her later years, I think my father would agree even from the afterlife."
Peng Yuanzhen's voice was full of emotion, even revealing a hint of vicissitudes that had been through the red dust.
Feng Bogao and Feng Qianru exchanged a glance, and he said softly, "Since that's the case, Little Peng, I can help you find a buyer, so you won't be cheated and this treasure will go to waste."
"Then thank Professor Feng." Peng Yuanzheng was overjoyed in his heart, but his face remained calm and expressionless.
……
……
The opera sings "a Lin sister fell from the sky", but for the Feng family, it's a third generation suddenly and abruptly coming.
Mr. and Mrs. Feng walked out of the big red gate and into their eldest son Feng Boda's home. Before that, all the direct descendants and relatives of the Feng family had gathered in the living room of Feng Boda's house.
Apart from Feng Bogao, both Feng Bolin and his wife, as well as Feng Boxia and her husband, had somewhat unusual expressions on their faces.
The old man had been searching for so many years without any news, and suddenly a grandson popped out of nowhere, isn't it strange?
"Dad, I've checked and rechecked, this child's background is fine. His father Peng Yuqiang's background, including his birthdate, matches the situation of my second brother..."
Feng Bogao hadn't finished speaking when Old Lady Feng, with tears in her eyes, waved her hand and said, "Bogao, you don't need to say any more. This must be your nephew, no need to doubt it. That jade pendant, plus the letter of recognition written by your father himself, can these things be faked?"
"Alas, my poor son...". Old Lady Feng couldn't help but feel a wave of grief wash over her as she thought about her lost son who had passed away, leaving behind only a grandson. She sighed and wept, tears streaming down her face.
"All right, it's not entirely confirmed yet. Shu Zhen, don't make a mess of things." Old Master Feng furrowed his brow and said to Feng Bo Tao in a deep voice, "Let him hand over the physical evidence, I'll personally verify it. If it's genuine and without error, then he is indeed my grandson!"
Feng Bolin suddenly interjected, "Dad, even if the thing is real, it doesn't necessarily mean that this kid is our Feng family's flesh and blood. So many years have passed, his father is no longer in this world, it's actually very difficult to judge what's true or false."
"Yes, Father, I also think this matter is a bit absurd... This Peng child suddenly appears with our family's jade pendant and Father's handwriting, could he have other intentions? Our Feng family isn't just any ordinary family, we can't casually accept such an unknown child!" Madame Zhang Lan walked over to refill Old Master Feng's water.
Feng Bo Lin and his wife's one-voice-and-one-harmony singing suddenly made the atmosphere in the living room a bit subtle.
Xiao Nuer Feng Boxia rolled her eyes and was about to retort a few words, but was stopped by a glance from her husband Zhao Ting.
The old man's eyes couldn't tolerate a single grain of sand, and the old man hadn't spoken yet. Zhao Ting naturally didn't want his wife to say more words, not only provoking the old man's dissatisfaction but also offending Second Brother Feng Bolin.
Zhao Ting was very clear about the psychological state of Feng Bolin and his wife.
Feng Jia Lao Da Feng Bo Tao and his wife had an unusually difficult time conceiving, and it was later discovered that Feng Bo Tao had some fertility issues. The couple, having no other choice, sought the opinion of the elderly master and secretly adopted a girl, who is now Feng Qianru.
In other words, Feng Qianru is not the biological daughter of Feng Botao. Of course, under the strict control of the old master, Feng Qianru's life experience in the Feng family was a taboo topic that no one dared to mention.
In that case, the true third generation of the Feng family is indeed the son and daughter of Feng Bolin and his wife, Feng Yuanhua and Feng Linlin. As the eldest grandson, Feng Yuanhua has received all the love and attention, and in the future, the Feng family will definitely spare no effort to cultivate him, he is the true successor of the Feng family.
But once the old man recognizes a grandson, this situation may be changed. With Feng Bolin's understanding of his parents, the two elders will definitely love and compensate for this late-coming grandson a hundred times more.
Feng Lao remained silent.
Mrs. Feng glared at her daughter-in-law Zhang Lan with great displeasure, but said nothing.
Feng Lao turned his head and looked at Feng Boxia, saying lightly, "Girl, what do you think?"
Feng Boxia turned her head and glanced at her husband, then smiled and said, "Dad, I think no matter what, you should meet that child once and take a look at the real thing in his hands. If it's not fake, then it's basically our Feng family's descendant. Since it's our Feng family's descendant, we should acknowledge him, and if we don't, it would be unreasonable. I think Mom and Dad will also feel uncomfortable in their hearts!"
"Is it too hasty to recognize a grandson just like that?" Feng Bolin said in a low voice.
Feng Boxia seemed to be at odds with her second brother Feng Bolin, and immediately retorted, "Second brother, can't you say that? The birthdate is the same, even the eight characters of the birthday are exactly the same, and there's also a jade pendant and a certificate written by Dad himself. Isn't this enough?"
"If it's still uncertain, there is actually a relative identification technology in the US now that can also identify results across generations. If all else fails, I'll find someone to send to the US for testing, as long as Dad and the child can be matched successfully, then there's no need to doubt anymore."
Feng's son-in-law, Zhao Ting, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, and his words were like a needle piercing the heart and a hammer striking the nail.
He spoke out because he saw that Lao Ye Zi had already made up his mind to acknowledge him. If Lao Ye Zi's attitude was not clear, he would never have spoken casually.
Feng Lao nodded silently, "Bo Tao, you arrange it, I'll see that child. If the thing is true - Little Zhao, then do as you said!"
Zhao Ting hastily stood up and bowed respectfully towards Old Man Feng in response.
Although he is a son-in-law, in front of Old Man Feng, Zhao Ting has been exceptionally humble and cautious for 20 years, not daring to have any misconduct or impropriety, fearing that he would leave a bad impression on the old man's heart and thus affect his career.
He came from an ordinary cadre family and was a classmate of Feng Boxia. They had a free love affair, but it wasn't easy for them to be together at first. After becoming the son-in-law of the Feng family, relying on his own exceptional talent, Zhao Ting took advantage of the situation and rose through the ranks from 1980, after more than a decade in office, he already held a high position in a province.
Now that Old Feng has spoken, this matter is settled.
Two days later, Feng Qianru brought Feng Lao's secretary and security personnel to find Peng Yuanzheng directly. Peng Yuanzheng did not hide again, he knew that the crucial moment of deciding his own fate had finally arrived.
Whether or not one can change their fate is decided in this one move.
