Chapter 436 - “Ruixue said she didn’t have a ring prepared. She left that for you.” (2)
Feng Jianghua stared at the bag for a long while and said, “You don’t need to give me so much. 60,000 yuan will be enough.”
“You don’t just get this money. I am going to have you sign some paperwork.” Feng Zeyu pulled out the deed to sever their ties and had Feng Jianghua sign it. “This is not money from me. I am paying for my grandparents.”
After a long while, Feng Jianghua took the money from him and said to Feng Zeyu seriously, “Your grandparents had you on their minds to the day that they died. They’ve always said that you are their oldest grandson. You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore, but do you visit them often. Otherwise, I worry that they would come into my dreams and ask about you.”
Feng Zeyu lowered his head. “You don’t need to worry about that. Of course I will go visit my own grandparents.”
Feng Jianghua nodded and left with the money.
Seeing that Feng Zeyu had returned with a wooden box, Shu Yan asked, “Where did you get that?”
“It belonged to me in the past. I thought it was burned.” Feng Zeyu looked at the lock on the box. It was the same lock, but the key was long gone. Luckily, he knew how to pick locks.
He opened up the box easily, and inside of it were the awards that Feng Zeyu had earned when he went to school, a slingshot that he had played with when he was a child, a wool vest, two pairs of fabric shoes, etc.
Feng Zeyu carefully pulled them out one by one and he would tell Shu Yan the stories behind them with each item that he pulled out.
“I am sure my grandmother made these fabric shoes and wool vest herself, but she didn’t have the chance to give them to me.” Feng Zeyu’s tears rolled down his tall nose bridge to the tip of his nose and, drop by drop, they fell.
He picked up a box wrapped in cloth. “These are all the medals that I had received in the army. My grandmother used to pull them out and look at them all the time. She had always been very proud of them. They just feel very ashamed in front of their old coworkers when I went to jail.”
“I am sure your grandma and grandpa trusted your innocence. They would only feel unjust for you.” Shu Yan held Feng Zeyu’s hand.
There was another wooden box in a corner. Feng Zeyu recognized it. It was his grandmother’s treasure. He opened it carefully and, inside of it, was a pair of gold earrings and a letter.
It was inside his grandmother’s box, but the letter was written by his grandfather.
In the letter, they mentioned that they didn’t know whether they would be around by the time he got out, so they wanted to write a letter to him when they could still manage to do that. They told him to not worry too much and live his life happily.
He should find himself a wife and give the pair of golden earrings to their granddaughter-in-law.
Lastly, they asked him not to be upset at Feng Jianghua and to get along with him if at all possible.
Feng Zeyu cried quietly when he read the letter. Shu Yan sat next to him without makeing a sound, just keeping him company.
“This is from grandma and grandpa.” He handed the pair of gold earrings to Shu Yan.
“Okay.” It was a very simple pair of gold earrings and must have been very precious for the old lady. Shu Yan took it from him carefully, smiled and said, “It’s very pretty. I will wear it at our wedding.”
“Thank you,” said Feng Zeyu emotionally.
Shu Yan felt bored lately and wanted to take a trip with Feng Zeyu, just the two of them.
JingJing and Tianbao were not happy when they learned that Shu Yan would not be bringing them with.
“You have school. Daddy Fang and I would take you on trips over summer vacation.” Shu Yan had to make a lot of promises before the two kiddos were placated.
They didn’t go anywhere far away but returned to the fishing village that they had been to before.
They rented a boat and went to an island nearby. There were wooden cabins built by the fishermen. The two stayed in one of them. They would leave the house in the morning and return at night, spending their time in the simplest way.
Shu Yan could feel that Feng Zeyu had truly gotten past it after 5 days.
