Chapter 400 It’s You Who Thinks Things Through_1
On the way home, An Jing said to Xiao Changyi, "Husband, Xiao Lan’s vitality seems good now, but I still plan to watch her for a few more days. If she continues like this, we will then set off for the Capital."
"Mm," Xiao Changyi had no objections.
Before they reached their front door, they saw An Fu standing outside the An family’s gate. An Jing and Xiao Changyi exchanged a look, and all was understood without words.
An Fu was much haggard. As they approached, he gave an awkward laugh before saying, "Brother Xiao, An Jing, I’m not one to be shameless. Xiao Lan and I are in such a state, it’s not right for me to continue working at your family’s rice shop. I came today to tell you that I won’t be working at An’s Rice Shop from now on."
An Jing hadn’t expected An Fu to be so perceptive. After exchanging another look with her husband, she simply said, "Alright."
While An Fu breathed a sigh of relief, he also added, "Whether or not you helped our family for Xiao Lan’s sake, the truth is that our family’s life has improved significantly. My parents and I truly appreciate everything you’ve done. Thank you."
An Jing didn’t speak.
Seeing that neither An Jing nor Xiao Changyi made any comment, An Fu said no more, turned around, and limped away.
But after taking a few steps, he couldn’t help but turn back and say, "I know that even if I don’t ask, you will take good care of Xiao Lan and her mother for me, but I still want to entrust them to you. Please, take care of them."
Towards the end, An Fu’s voice was choked with emotion. He truly cared deeply for Shi Xiaolan.
But he, too, was truly unable to allow his family line to end with him.
