Chapter 102: Big Brother’s Instructions
Scholar Meng stroked his beard and chuckled. "That little rascal is in the kitchen. He said he just learned a few new dishes and wants to cook them for me."
Zhao Zhitong and the others were delighted that day. They felt they had done a good deed by helping Scholar Meng finally meet his long-missed son.
So, when they returned home, Zhao Zhitong shared the good news with Zhao Dong and Sun Mei. The couple was very surprised. How did Zhao Zhitong know that Meng Fusheng was Scholar Meng’s son?
Zhao Zhitong declared proudly, "I heard your conversation last night!"
Meng Fusheng actually returned to see his father around this time every year, but they had never managed to meet. Meanwhile, Scholar Meng would inquire about happenings in all corners of the country, searching for any news of his son. Their feelings for each other were quite reserved. Without Zhao Zhitong and the others’ help this time, it was uncertain when they would have finally overcome their reticence and reunited.
It could be said that Zhao Zhitong had helped them immensely.
「The next day」
After school, Scholar Meng brought Meng Fusheng to the Zhao family’s home to express their gratitude. Sun Mei and Zhao Dong enthusiastically welcomed their teacher and his son, and Sun Mei even cooked several special dishes.
When Zhao Zhitong and Zhao Yu returned from Qiao Muchen’s house, they were overjoyed to find their Teacher already there and immediately swarmed him with questions.
Even Zhao Yu, who was usually timid, became unusually active and engaged Meng Fusheng in conversation. At first, he was a little hesitant and reserved, but he was soon captivated by Meng Fusheng’s tales of all corners of the country and completely forgot his shyness.
Zhao Yu’s eyes sparkled as he asked, "Mr. Meng, are all the heroes in all corners of the country like you, fighting evil and upholding justice?"
Meng Fusheng smiled. "Not all of them. There are also sanctimonious individuals who masquerade as heroes but commit deeds more heinous than villains. This requires you to develop keen eyes, able to see through their false facade."
