Dream?
Zhang Dan Shui was taken aback. He looked at his mother in confusion as he recalled the days of his youth. Back then, he studied hard because he wanted to become an official and threw those who mocked him back.
But now that he was already an official, he found out that those people still continued to mock him.
It was as if he had to stand at the highest position to make sure that they wouldn't have any say in his life anymore. He was annoyed, especially because he kept on being dragged down by his younger brother. It was to the point that even achieving better result was already hard enough.
"I want you to live well, Mother." Zhang Dan Shui was tired of having his mother suffer in Zhang Family Residence. He wanted to see his mother smile and talk to him cheerfully just like in the past.
Seeing her wooden expression as she tried to hold back was hard.
Madam Pei shook her head. "You shouldn't be too hard on yourself."
"Mother."
"I'll be fine wherever you want me to be. What's important is for you to live the life you want."
Zhang Dan Shui blinked and sighed. He walked closer and hugged his mother as his mind churned. "I understand, Mother."
"Mhm, good boy. Sorry, Mother can't give you a better life." Madam Pei's eyes moistened. She really felt that she was truly a failure as a mother. Even though she had been trying her best to provide for her children, living was so hard.
"It's not your fault, Mother."
The two of them hugged for a while before Madam Pei retreated. She smiled faintly. "I'll prepare food for you. Stay here." freewёbnoνel.com
"Yes, Mother."
There were servants, but Madam Pei liked to cook. Because of that, Zhang Dan Shui always liked it when his mother prepared him meal.
As he sat down on the chair, he looked around. The house was rather shabby but it was pretty good. However, Zhang Dan Shui could feel the faint burning spirit inside his heart that wished to kill those who looked down upon him and his mother.
Zhang Dan Shui muttered slowly, "Young Miss… I have made my decision. I'll do my best."
…
Meanwhile.
Old Master Nan didn't immediately bring them back but rather to the small river that branched from Huang River. The tunnel was purposely made for the people here to be able to live well.
"What are we going to do here, Grandfather?" Nan Luo asked curiously.
"Fishing." Old Master Nan took out a spear. "I'll teach you how to catch fish."
Nan Luo: "…" really?
Feng Ao Kuai: "…" can I back down?
Feng Ao Si: "… Grandfather, is it that hard to catch fish?"
"What do you know? Come here and take the spears. The river is shallow but there are some fishes that we can catch! Hey don't you dare to fall! What did you take the previous training as?"
