Chapter 872 - 872 873 I Bought It

Chapter 872: Chapter 873 I Bought It Chapter 872: Chapter 873 I Bought It Feng Daji said, “Haven’t I been grateful enough? I kindly took you in to live with us, only for you to make Qing Qing cry over a few words said by a child and to prepare to move out. You can move if you want, but how could you take the only thing of value in the house with you?”

“Feng Daji, do you dare to say these things to your father?” Liu Guoying, her chest heaving with anger, pointed at Feng Daji and said, “Feng Qing is just a child. Could he possibly have made up those words on his own? Could he come up with such venomous words saying he’s afraid my wife will die in your house, turning it into a funeral parlor, and that you might even have to pay for the funeral expenses? My wife is simply a bit under the weather, yet you curse her to die early every day! If I hadn’t happened to come home that day and overheard it, I wouldn’t have known how much she had to endure alone at home!”

“Endure? Uncle, saying that is really a joke! Living off us, eating our food, and still have the nerve to talk about suffering? What’s your relationship with Fu Mingfeng? Not afraid of suffering when moving to his house?” Feng Daji said, “No relation yet still willing to take you in, who would believe that? Isn’t it just because you stole our family’s piece of jade for Fu Mingfeng?”

Hearing this, Liu Guoying grew even more furious until her vision began to blur.

“If you want to accuse me, then accuse me, but don’t drag Principal Fu into this! Principal Fu opened his door to us out of compassion when I had nowhere else to turn, not some petty opportunist! Feng Daji, we had no choice but to seek refuge with you at first, but every month I would paint a picture for you…”

Feng Daji’s wife sneered, looking as if to say, “Please, don’t embarrass us.”

“Uncle, do you think you’re a famous painter? Those paintings of yours, could one sell for even Five Yuan? And you think you can use them to pay the rent! You’ve got nerve saying that!”

“You!”

Chiang Xiao couldn’t stand to listen any longer.

She immediately squeezed through the crowd and walked up to Feng Daji.

“How many paintings are there? Five Yuan each, I’ll buy them.”

Liu Guoying nearly exclaimed upon seeing Chiang Xiao.

Isn’t it still the winter break?

The New Year isn’t even finished, so how has she returned already?

Feng Daji couple also recognized Chiang Xiao, retreating two steps together with trepidation. “You? What are you doing here?”

No sooner had they blurted out the question, they figured it out themselves.

They had only recently found out that Fu Mingfeng was willing to be the principal of the county’s Third Middle School when they saw him, but in their eyes, the Fourth Middle School still matched their understanding of a prestigious school, and they definitely planned for their Qing Qing to attend the Fourth Middle. Hence, they didn’t take Principal Fu seriously.

On the train, Fu Mingfeng had helped Chiang Xiao, and since they got to know each other afterward, it was not surprising that they kept in touch.

So, Feng Daji couple thought Chiang Xiao came looking for Fu Mingfeng.

“How could I not be here?”

“This matter has nothing to do with you, you’d better just stand aside!” Feng Daji growled, yet his gaze when looking at Chiang Xiao drifted, his body clearly trembling.

Meng Xinian was about to step in, but upon seeing the situation, he raised an eyebrow, prepared to watch the drama unfold.

Little must have handled them before, otherwise, how could the couple be so afraid upon seeing her?

But Chiang Xiao remained unmoved, looking at them, “What’s the matter, weren’t you saying that Teacher Liu’s paintings couldn’t sell for Five Yuan? Now when I actually want to offer a price and buy them, you’re reluctant to sell?”
