Chapter 287 How Did I Go Blind Back Then?

Zheng Xun glanced at Feng Lao Er.

She didn't even need to make any extra expressions; he had already started to panic.

He wouldn't dare utter a single curse word, let alone curse.

"No divorce papers are needed. You were never married, so you don't need that thing."

In fact, according to the laws of Dayong, even if no official document was submitted to the government office, as long as a banquet was held and the wife's status was formally acknowledged in front of the villagers, the marital relationship between the two was recognized.

But surprisingly, they didn't hold a banquet.

He Wuyang was willing to write them a divorce agreement because he thought that the two had been married for many years, and if they didn't keep things clean, it would inevitably cause trouble for Aunt Guo if Feng Lao Er made a fuss.

He meant well, and his idea was indeed correct.

But Zheng Xun could only say that he was still too honest.

"Second Brother Feng, do you understand what I'm saying?"

Feng Lao Er replied with trepidation, "This humble subject understands! This humble subject will certainly do as instructed."

Zheng Xun looked at He Wuyang.

He Wuyang came to his senses: "Now let's talk about those seedlings."

While Aunt Guo and Old Man Feng were arguing, Guangzong's crying never stopped.

However, the people at the scene were either arguing or just watching the excitement, completely ignoring his exaggerated performance.

Little Tyrant got no response, cried until he was exhausted and his throat hurt, and finally he had to stop on his own.

Now, as he hears them mention seedlings, he looks at his empty palms.

When Lü Mengying threw him down, she had already snatched those seedlings away, so he has nothing in his hands now.

His eyes darted around as he considered the possibility of denying it.

"Miaozi...I'll pay for it!"

Feng Lao Er seemed to think he was great and responsible. After saying this, he proudly puffed out his chest and raised his head.

"Feng Lao Er, do you think protecting Guangzong will make your aunt remember you? Do you think their wealth will benefit you? How naive! The trouble Guangzong has caused today cannot be erased even if his family goes bankrupt!"

"Since you're determined to separate from me, then the affairs of the Feng family are no longer your concern. Keep your mouth shut."

"Tch, who cares? Do you really think your Feng family is some kind of darling? I'm not concerned about you, I'm just kicking you when you're down."

Seeing that they seemed to be planning to continue arguing, He Wuyang interrupted, "Feng Lao Er, you may have misunderstood something."

He walked up to Lü Mengying, took the few bruised and mangled seedlings from her hand, and held them up: "These are..."

His words suddenly stopped when his gaze swept over the little seedlings.

Feng Lao Er asked nervously, "What is this?"

Aunt Guo interrupted, "This is a treasure!"

"What treasure? Just these few pieces of junk? Guo, don't hate me too much!"

“She’s right,” He Wuyang said earnestly. “The crops on the estate are either improved varieties that we’ve developed, or treasures that we’ve painstakingly searched for from all over the country to study and cultivate. Feng Lao Er, these are not ordinary crops, but a matter of great importance concerning the national economy and people’s livelihood!”

Feng Lao Er collapsed to the ground.

He didn't quite understand what He Wuyang meant, but he realized one thing—he had gotten himself into big trouble.

He shuddered: "Then...how much silver would that cost?"

"I wouldn't trade it for anything!"

With a "plop," it wasn't Feng Lao Er who knelt down, but Guo Da Niang.

Her face turned deathly pale, and she stammered, "Then...what should we do? Do we have to pay with our lives? Will people starve to death without these seedlings...?"

Her tone was not accusatory, but rather one of pure worry and fear.

Several farmers nearby quickly helped her up, saying, "Aunt Guo, calm down and listen to what Young Master He has to say."

"Although Aunt Guo is decisive, she is also a sentimental person. Don't worry, the princess has said that you and your child have no relation to the Feng family anymore, so there's no need to worry about being implicated."

"Yes, this is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune," the man said, lowering his voice further, "If you ask me, even God is on your side!"

An elderly woman grasped Guo's hand and encouraged her, "Don't be afraid."

Aunt Guo was extremely popular. As soon as her expression changed, all the tenant farmers who had been working on the farm and the newcomers rushed over to comfort her.

An old man waved to the group of children standing nearby: "Go help your mother."

These children were just friends who had recently started playing with Guangzong.

But since they didn't cause any trouble, they naturally didn't receive any attention.

What's remarkable is that, despite the chaotic scene just now, they didn't make a fuss; they simply stood together and spoke quietly.

Among those children were Grandma Guo's son and daughter, and the old man was talking to them.

"mother!"

The two children quickly ran to either side of Grandma Guo, holding her hands, their similar faces filled with worry.

Aunt Guo cheered herself up and patted the two children's heads: "Mom is fine, don't worry."

Zheng Xun almost burst out laughing at this deeply moving scene.

This Aunt Guo is quite a talent.

It's easy to be a good person, but it takes extremely high emotional intelligence to be a good person that everyone praises.

But she actually did it.

Meanwhile, He Wuyang had already walked up to Feng Lao Er and whispered, "However, we've calculated the losses of all the seedlings. This matter is serious in some ways, but simple in others."

Guo Lao Er suddenly realized what was happening and scrambled to He Wuyang's feet, grabbing his leg and pleading, "Young Master He! Please forgive me this time! I'll never dare to do it again. I promise I won't bring anyone to the manor again!"

He Wuyang tried to pull, but couldn't overcome Guo Lao Er's strength. He frowned and said, "Let go!"

"Please spare me! Guangzong isn't my child, he's my aunt's. I can take you to her!"

"Let go first!"

"If you really can't calm down, I'll beat him to death as an apology!"

He Wuyang, who was originally going to continue to intimidate him, finally lost his composure.

Although Guangzong was young, he could still understand these words.

So, Zheng Xun then witnessed firsthand the process of this brat breaking down.

His still-childish face showed shock, disbelief, disappointment, and other emotions: "Uncle! Are you going to hit me? I'm going to tell my mother!"

His lips trembled, and he felt like crying again.

Feng Lao Er glared at him fiercely: "Shut up!"

His fierce gaze was like a knife or a sword, and Guangzong was so frightened that he was instantly speechless.

He Wuyang was still trying to pull his leg out.

He thought for a moment. Did he remember saying that this matter could be a big or small thing?

Was Feng Lao Er too scared to hear clearly, or did he simply not want to take any risks at all?

He repeated, unable to contain himself any longer, "This matter could be a big deal or a small deal! Do you understand?!"

He should at least ask how big or small it is!

But Feng Lao Er remained silent, only trying to distance himself from the situation.

He Wuyang understood. He was frightened and afraid of being implicated, so he wanted to sever all ties.

Witnessing this farce, everyone just wanted to ask: how did Aunt Guo go blind in the first place?

How could someone as generous, cheerful, and capable as her have spent so many years with this coward without any status or recognition?
