Fu Chen could have dodged it, but he didn't.

The mother was angry and always had to vent it out.

It's better to vent it on him than on Liu Meilan.

After all, he and Liu Meilan had just started their relationship, and he didn't want his mother to break them up.

Dong Yunyun's heart sank immediately when she saw Mrs. Fu's actions.

She couldn't compete with the Liu family in terms of family background.

She was very confident in her looks, but it seemed that Fu Chen liked petite girls from the South, and was not interested in tall and big girls from the North like her.

Fu Chen hadn't even looked at her since last night, and Dong Yunyun began to lose confidence.

"I told you not to say it, I told you not to say it." Mrs. Fu's face was burning, and she finally understood what Liu Meilan's flickering eyes meant on the boat just now.

They are all so troublesome, so annoying.

Is it fun to tease her?

Fu Chen gasped in pain, "Mom, I was wrong, is that enough? The car is here, you guys get in first, I'll ride the motorcycle over. If you have anything to say, let's talk in private."

Mrs. Fu glared at her son and said, "I'll settle the score with you when I get back."

They got in the car, and Fu Chen put his mother's luggage in the trunk and told the driver, "Go to the military district guesthouse."

Although he has a dormitory, it is a single one.

In addition, the place where he lives is not suitable for outsiders to enter, not even his biological mother.

What's more, there is now Dong Yunyun.

Fu Chen followed on a motorcycle and settled his mother down first.

Mr. Liu whispered, "Meilan, have you been wronged?"

Liu Meilan shook her head and snickered, "No, Fu Chen protected me, and Mrs. Fu was almost pissed off by Fu Chen."

"It's all because of Fu Chen's poor communication, otherwise there wouldn't be such a misunderstanding." Old Master Liu smiled, "Remember, we are all your solid backers."

Liu Meilan smiled and nodded, "I see, Grandpa. Actually, you misunderstood Fu Chen. When we were in love before, we just wanted to talk about it in private."

"If we can get along well and get along happily, then we can tell the parents. But now, within a month, both parents know about it."

"Fu Chen hid it from his family because I didn't let him tell them, which led to this misunderstanding! Anyway, even if I get married in the future, I will stay in Sifang Island and not go anywhere else!"

This is her blessed land.

Liu Meilan has deep feelings for this place. Standing on the land of the island, she feels particularly at ease and has a very strong sense of security.

Old Master Liu smiled and said, "Just don't go anywhere! Just stay with Grandpa and your parents and enjoy yourself!"

Liu Meilan nodded and smiled, "Of course! If there's anything delicious at home, just call me and I'll come over. I'll take care of all the good things!"

"By the way, Grandpa, how is Sister Xiufang recovering now? My eldest brother and sister-in-law have taken a week off, it's almost over, right? What are the plans for the future?"

Old Master Liu replied, "Xiufang and Chongyang are now living in the courtyard of the Feng family. Your eldest brother and his wife have already bought the return tickets! We just found Aunt Yu who lives nearby yesterday to help take care of Xiufang."

Hearing this, Liu Meilan breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, my elder brother and his wife still have work to do, they can't keep taking leave! Paying an aunt to take care of her may make Sister Xiufang feel more comfortable."

Old Master Liu nodded. "Xiufang felt very guilty for delaying your eldest brother and his wife's work! She was very happy to learn that they had bought tickets and were preparing to return!"

"She is an honest person! She is also a good mother! She knows that her mother-in-law and brother-in-law have gone too far, but she never complains. Your mother once asked her if she resented her mother-in-law and brother-in-law?"

"Xiufang is a very honest child. She said that she lost her husband, but her mother-in-law also lost her son. She still has to rely on her youngest son for the rest of her life, so she doesn't complain."

"Xiufang thought she had an incurable disease and couldn't raise a child, so she called your eldest brother and asked him to find a good place for her son to go, which would be better than living with her mother-in-law and brother-in-law."

Liu Meilan nodded, thinking that Zhang Xiufang's behavior was reasonable.

Although she was a little weak, as a seriously ill woman with a seven-year-old son, how could she afford to compete with her mother-in-law and brother-in-law?

In the end, this kind-hearted woman summed up all her words into one sentence: it was all because of her bad luck.

"Since Chongyang is already studying on the island, when Sister Xiufang recovers, I'll let her work for me and I'll pay her."

Old Master Liu waved his hand and said, "Meilan, this is the Liu family's business, and you can't bear it all by yourself! I have some connections here, and I can find a job for Xiufang."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Grandpa, I need to find someone for my next job, and the venue is located in the two courtyards next door. It's just right for me to ask Sister Xiufang to help. It's not intentional."

Mr. Liu asked, "Meilan, what are you going to do?"

Liu Meilan pointed at the ornamental fish, which included freshwater fish and marine fish, and said, "Of course, they are farmed ornamental fish!"

"You're just talking, aren't you?" Old Master Liu was surprised. Seeing that his granddaughter hadn't taken any action for a long time, did he and his granddaughter give up?

Liu Meilan shook her head and laughed, "Grandpa, I'm not the second brother who can do whatever he wants. I won't give up easily on what I want to do. I have to try it before I know the result."

Hearing this, Mr. Liu nodded, "Yes, how do you know it won't work if you don't try? So what are you going to do now? Do you need to build a pond?"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "No need. I heard about plastic three-dimensional breeding racks. Not only can they be used for small-module breeding, but they can also make use of space to create several layers of breeding boxes."

"Okay, if you want to do it, just do it." Old Master Liu supported, "Since you can arrange a job for Xiufang, when she recovers, she can work at home and won't have to go out and be embarrassed by others."

Zhang Xiufang could neither understand nor speak what the locals said.

People outside don’t communicate exclusively in Mandarin, and some don’t know how to speak it at all.

Mr. Liu pointed to the kitchen and said, "There's fish maw and chicken soup in there. Have some and send some to Xiufang."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Liu Meilan never refuses the kindness of her elders, especially when her grandfather makes soup that is both delicious and nutritious.

The reason why her face is so rosy has a lot to do with grandpa's tonic soup.

Old Master Liu instructed, "After you finish drinking, give Xiufang more to nourish her. This child's body was weak in the past. If you don't nourish her well, she will suffer when she gets older."

Liu Meilan nodded and agreed, "Grandpa, I'll drink it right away. Chongyang will be my nephew from now on, and I will treat him well. Martyr Xu defended his country and is a hero. He is also the lifesaver of my brother and sister-in-law."

"The person has passed away, but the living must live well. Whether it is Sister Xiufang or Chongyang, we must take care of them for Martyr Xu."

Old Master Liu was terrified. He had experienced life and death, and could put anything aside to defend his country, but the only thing he couldn't let go of was his family.

I want my family to be treated well, but sometimes things don’t go as planned.

"Good child." Old Master Liu looked at Liu Meilan kindly. Although he had three grandsons, at this time, Old Master Liu was already sure that this granddaughter would be the backbone of the family in the future.

Maybe Meilan will not be a high-ranking official in the future, and will not have too lofty ambitions, but she can stay in her hometown steadily.

No matter how far the descendants of the Liu family fly, they will eventually come back here because this is their foundation.

Liu Meilan filled a large bowl with food and sent it over directly.

Of course, there was also a handful of White Rabbit milk candies in his pocket, which was for Xu Chongyang.

This move was learned by Liu Meilan from Tang Xiaoyu.

When it comes to caring for younger generations, it’s no use talking about those big principles. What’s better is giving them a handful of candy, a toy gun, or a doll.

In the yard, Xu Chongyang was doing his homework on the stone table.

Seeing Liu Meilan coming over, Xu Chongyang immediately stood up and said, "Aunt Meilan, what are you serving? Is it delicious?"

Wang Nuannuan reached out and gently grabbed Xu Chongyang's ear, "I'm doing the test paper, don't be distracted. Even if there is something delicious, wait until you finish this test paper before eating."

Xu Chongyang immediately had a bitter face, not daring to resist, and sat down with a wronged look on his face, "Auntie Nuannuan, I have already done two test papers, can you let me play with them?"

Wang Nuannuan refused without hesitation, "No, look at how many mistakes you made, how can you play with me? When you're done, I'll give you chocolate."

After saying that, Wang Nuannuan took out a box of exquisite chocolates from her pocket.

Wang Nuannuan is very skilled at using both kindness and force.

"I'll write it right away." Xu Chongyang sat down immediately and was very well behaved, often stealing glances at the box of chocolates on the table.

He never knew there was such a delicious thing as chocolate!

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I'll give the tonic soup to Sister Xiufang first. You guys should focus on your homework."

Zhang Xiufang was lying on the bed in the room resting, smiling with the corners of her mouth upturned. She listened to Wang Nuannuan tutoring her son attentively outside and was full of hope for her future life.

Hearing Liu Meilan's voice, Zhang Xiufang sat up from the bed, "Meilan, thank you for your help."

Liu Meilan said modestly, "Sister Xiufang, don't say that. This is what Grandpa stewed for you. I just brought it over. Eat more and get well soon. I'm still waiting for you to get well and work for me!"

Zhang Xiufang was stunned. "I'm seasick, so I probably can't work on your ship. I can find other work, but I can't cause you any trouble."

Liu Meilan smiled and consoled her, "Sister Xiufang, this is not a job on the ship. I want to try to raise ornamental fish in these three yards at home. You can help me take care of them at home."

Zhang Xiufang heard this and shook her head, "Meilan, you can give me money through the back door, but I can't be so shameless to ask for money. Although I am uneducated, I am strong and can do all the dirty and tiring work. I should be able to find a job as a nanny."

Seeing that Zhang Xiufang had misunderstood, Liu Meilan quickly explained, "Sister Xiufang, the ornamental fish you want to raise are not just one or two fish tanks, but hundreds, or even more."

"My grandfather is the only one at home. Brother Zhang Jian is the one who takes care of him. I can't ask him to help with the housework. But you can help me take care of these ornamental fish and feed them when I go out to sea."

"My grandpa is old, and my parents both have jobs. I can't ask my grandpa to help me raise fish, as that would be too unfilial of a granddaughter. Besides, Chongyang still has to go to school, and you can still take care of him nearby."

Zhang Xiufang heard Liu Meilan's words and knew that Liu Meilan was taking care of her. "Meilan, you've said this much. If I refuse again, I'd be being ungrateful."

"Don't worry, Meilan. When I get better, I will do all the work at home and outside and take good care of the old man. You are the benefactors of Chongyang and me. You not only saved our lives, but also gave us a way to survive."

Liu Meilan quickly said, "Sister Xiufang, please don't feel any psychological burden. You work for me and I pay you. This is what I should do."

"Brother Xu saved my brother and his wife back then, we all remember it, so please don't be polite to us."

Zhang Xiufang shook her head repeatedly. "When Jianguo sacrificed his life, he was defending his country. Anyone else would have risked their lives for him. This is Jianguo's mission!"

Seeing Zhang Xiufang say this, Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Sister Xiufang, we all remember the good things that happened in the past, so don't talk about it! Let's look forward and live a good life in the future!"

"Okay! Living in the past will never allow us to make progress!" Zhang Xiufang nodded, "Chongyang and I must cherish our present life."

Seeing Zhang Xiufang drinking the fish maw and chicken soup, Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Just drink it. Eat more and drink more to replenish your body."

Zhang Xiufang wiped her mouth and said, "I've never eaten such delicious food in my life. I'm so blessed! I feel like I've gained weight after lying in bed for the past few days!"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "You were too thin before, so you should gain some weight! But you don't have to worry. If you are tall, gaining some weight will only make you stronger, not fat."

Zhang Xiufang agreed, "It's good to gain weight, so you can have strength and work! I'm full here, Meilan, go and do what you need, don't stay here with me!"

"Goodbye, Sister Xiufang!" Liu Meilan said goodbye and walked out with the bowl.

She passed by the stone table, took out the White Rabbit candy from her pocket and put it on the table, "I heard Chongyang studied hard, this is a reward!"

Xu Chongyang had just finished the test paper and grabbed a candy with his thin hand, "Thank you, Aunt Meilan!"

Wang Nuannuan looked up, "Sister Meilan, where is my gift?"

Liu Meilan smiled, and like a magic trick, she produced two cute cartoon wallets, "The one from Astro Boy is for Chongyang, and the one from the Flower Fairy is for you!"

Wang Nuannuan took it immediately after seeing it, and touched the glittering decorations on the wallet with her fingers, "It's really beautiful, thank you Sister Meilan!"

"You are a very competent teacher. Keep up the good work!" Liu Meilan praised. "What do you think of Chongyang's performance?"

Xu Chongyang was a little nervous because he had failed all the exams before.

Wang Nuannuan smiled and said, "Chongyang's foundation is relatively poor, but he has a strong learning ability. He can quickly master the questions I explain to him, and he can also apply what he has learned to other situations. As long as he is more serious and works harder, he will definitely improve in the next exam."

Liu Meilan looked at Xu Chongyang, "Are you confident?"

Xu Chongyang patted his thin chest and said, "I have confidence. I will study hard and stay focused in class!"

"Good!" Liu Meilan said with a smile, "Work hard, keep going!"

Tonight, Liu Yian and Tang Ying packed their luggage as they will leave by train tomorrow.

"Grandpa, we two have done good things, but in the end it is up to you and your sister to take care of it." Before leaving, Liu Yian and Tang Ying bowed to their grandfather and sister.

Liu Meilan stood up and said quickly, "Brother and sister-in-law, it's too formal for you to say that! This is your home, and we will always be your strongest support."

"Besides, after Sister Xiufang recovers, she will work for me, and she lives very close to us, so we can actually help each other."

"When I go out to sea, Sister Xiufang can help me take care of Grandpa and help me and Brother Zhang Jian look after this home."

Liu Meilan didn't want her elder brother and sister-in-law to leave with guilt, and hoped that they could go into battle lightly and move forward courageously.
