Chapter 117: Parting On Bad Terms

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Feng Cai took the initiative to mention Grandma Feng’s living situation.

Mr. Feng also felt very guilty about this. The house was small. Lin Lin took out the hospital certificate of her son’s mental illness and said that she wanted her youngest son to stay in a room. At first, he refused, but Lin Lin cried beside him every night.

He had seen Lin Lin’s contributions to the family over the years and she rarely made requests. This time, her request wasn’t for herself, but for Feng Xian.

That was why he had shamelessly looked for Grandma Feng. Therefore, in the face of Feng Cai’s question, Mr. Feng could only explain this helplessly.

Feng Cai suspected that Lin Lin had gotten someone to write a fake certificate, but the investigation would take time. He only had a few days of leave, so it was impossible for him to investigate it clearly. Hence, he said, “Dad, why don’t you give up some space in your room or brother’s room? Grandma is old. If she doesn’t rest well, she might suffer from mental problems too!”

Mr. Feng had also thought of this problem, but Lin Lin said that the doctor had mentioned that the room was too small and could make people depressed, so Mr. Feng gave up.

When Feng Cai heard this, he felt that Lin Lin was playing tricks, so he said calmly, “He just sleeps in the room and is usually in the living room. How depressed can he get?”

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Lin Lin’s eyes, but she couldn’t refute this, so she could only lower her head and remain silent.

Mr. Feng, who was already feeling guilty, was persuaded by Feng Cai. He decided to give Grandma Feng another room.

When Feng Yu returned at night, the two brothers chatted happily. When Lin Lin went out to visit and Feng Xian looked for his friends to play, Feng Cai told Mr. Feng, who was sitting on the sofa while reading the newspaper, that he wanted to buy equipment on credit. Before Feng Cai could finish saying that he had to get this done before he could join the factory, Mr. Feng became angry.

Mr. Feng had a straightforward personality and he was righteous. He felt that this harmed the interests of the factory. “Nonsense! They want to get equipment without paying a single cent? He Mountain Brigade is so far away from the city. Who can guarantee that they will be able to repay the money?! When can they pay it off?!”

Feng Cai promised Mr. Feng, “I’m also in the village. I promise that I’ll help the machinery factory keep an eye on this debt and make the village pay it back!”

Mr. Feng looked distrustful. “That’s easy to say. Who doesn’t have a good attitude when they borrow on credit? But when you chase after them to pay back the money, their attitude will be much different! Let me warn you, don’t use my status in your factory to make promises.”

Feng Cai said anxiously, “Dad, this is very important to me! If the village doesn’t pay it back, I’ll use all the money I earn in the future to pay off the debt. Believe me, okay?!”

Feng Cai didn’t believe in factories that had yet to be opened, but he believed in Wu Jin’s character.

Feng Cai had been in the village for so many years and had long heard of the Wu family’s deeds. Wu Jin had personally approved of using this machine for production. Even if the factory wasn’t built, he believed that Wu Jin definitely wouldn’t go back on his word.

However, Mr. Feng didn’t understand this. When he heard that Feng Cai planned to sacrifice himself for the village’s factory, he felt that Feng Cai’s idea was unacceptable. Hence, he said without thinking, “You overestimate yourself! Don’t you know how much a machine costs? Let me tell you, you don’t have that much credibility with me. Give up!”

On the first night Feng Cai returned, the father and son parted on bad terms.

Feng Yu also felt that Feng Cai’s guarantee was unreliable. He secretly pulled Feng Cai to the courtyard downstairs to dissuade him. Only then did Feng Cai have the chance to tell him about the factory. He also told him about the situation in the village and the village chief’s character. He also told him the plan that he hadn’t had the chance to reveal just now.

Only then did Feng Yu realize that Feng Cai had really matured. He looked at his brother in relief. “I’ll talk to Dad again. He’s afraid that you’re being too impulsive. If he hears this, I believe he’ll agree to help you talk to the factory.”

Feng Cai’s emotions, which had finally calmed down, began to fluctuate again. He said to Feng Yu angrily, “Don’t tell him! It’s fine if he doesn’t believe me. Anyway, I’m a liar in his eyes. I won’t beg him! I’ll think of something myself. Brother, don’t worry about this.”

With that, he turned around and left. Feng Cai planned to look for his friends to see if he could get it done. He had to settle this!
