Chapter 396 - 0396 Solution 4_1
Fenghua was not a native member of the Wanglou Brigade; she was a Zhou by birth. She and her parents had fled to the Wanglou Brigade during a time of war. Not long after, both her parents died of illness. At that time, Fenghua was just ten years old. The Lu Family took her in as a young maid. She was clever and had been taught to read and write by her parents, so she quickly rose up the ranks and worked in the old lady’s room. She went from being a small-sized maid to the chief maid, changed her name to Fenghua, and the old lady gave her a dowry when she got married.
Wang Zhenguo had been serving the Lu Family since he was young and thus was familiar with Fenghua. Fenghua and her younger sister, Fengmei, lived together, and whenever he prepared something for Fengmei, he would also prepare something for Fenghua. He treated her like his own sister.
However, Fengmei didn’t share Fenghua’s noble disposition.
After her wedding, Fenghua would visit the old lady annually, while Fengmei never once showed up. Later, unknown to everyone, the old lady and the father of the Lu Family spoke to Fenghua about something, after which Fenghua never showed up again.
Not long after, the vigorous campaign of distributing land to the landless farmers began.
Several years later, neither Li Dazhu recognized Wang Zhenguo, nor did Wang Zhenguo recognize Li Dazhu. He knew that Li Dazhu and Zhou Fenghua were both working in the city, but he had no idea they had once worked in a coal mine.
Li Dazhu, upon hearing Wang Zhenguo call him by his name joyously responded, "Yes, yes, I am Li Dazhu! You threatened me back in the days, stating that if Fenghua wasn’t doing well, you would come to have a word with me. Over the years, Fenghua and I have bickered over small trivial matters, I waited and waited for you, but you never appeared. I thought you had forgotten about it."
