Chapter 1028: Returning to My Mother’s Home 7
Hearing Guan Cheng’s question, Wang Zhengguo uttered an "oh," hesitated for a moment, and said nothing.
"Just say it, Uncle Grandpa. I’m no child, and I can take it," Guan Cheng said with a light, easy smile on his face.
When he was young, he wandered about with his younger brother, what hardships hadn’t they experienced? The happiness he now enjoyed did not make him forget the past; instead, he remembered it more clearly and cherished everything he had even more.
Guan Yu sat at Feng Qingxue’s table but felt curious about his own fate, "Yeah, Uncle Grandpa, just tell us!"
Pressed by the brothers, Wang Zhengguo coughed twice and said, "The blind fortuneteller said you should have died several years ago. Your life was tough, with no parents, roaming around, enduring all the suffering one can handle, and supposed to die young from hunger and serious illness. But you were lucky to meet a noble person who pulled you back from the brink of death, and since then, your life has been smooth sailing, wealthy and leisurely."
Guan Cheng suddenly looked toward Feng Qingxue.
It was she who pulled Guan Yu back from death’s door. Now that Guan Cheng had learned medicine, he understood even better the peril his brother had been in—it truly was a close call to still be alive.
"Auntie, thank you!" Guan Yu shouted loudly.
The normally shy and handsome boy couldn’t hold back his emotions, his gratitude bringing him to tears.
He would never forget the first glimpse of Feng Qingxue when he woke up, feeling a mother’s tenderness and compassion.
