The matter of Fu Chen’s injury was kept secret, and even Fu Sinian, Duan Linbai, and the others didn’t know about it.
In Old Master Fu’s words, it was to save Third Master some face in case others found out that he was almost thirty and had even been beaten by the ferule. He was afraid that he would be too ashamed to face anyone.
Most importantly, this matter couldn’t be made public yet.
But the next day, Jing Hanchuan got someone to send a few fish to the old residence, saying that it was for Fu Chen to make soup to nourish his body. He had likely already noticed something.
The two days that Fu Chen was at the old residence coincided with Song Fengwan’s weekend, so she naturally came diligently. Later on, she had to attend class, as well as evening self-study, and she said that she wanted to review and prepare for the CET4 exam, so she naturally came less frequently than on the weekends.
This made Fu Chen very depressed.
He missed her so much, but he couldn’t see her.
Fu Xinhan was taken to the old residence the next day. Fu Chen was either walking the dog or sunbathing in the courtyard, but he was actually waiting for his wife.
A cold wave had struck in the past two days, so the weather in Beijing was getting colder and colder. It was only when the sun was shining that there was some warmth outside.
“Say, Third Son, can you be a little bit more promising? You look like this every day. Didn’t Wanwan just come yesterday?” Old Master Fu was speechless. He had never realized that this brat was so clingy before.
Fu Chen glanced at him. “The last time she came, she only stayed for an hour. Mom even dragged her away to talk for more than half an hour.”
“Can’t you find something proper to do instead of just waiting?”
“Today is Friday. She said she would come tonight.” Fu Chen lowered his eyes to look at his watch. The wound on his back still hurt from the heavy strike, but it was much better now.
“How useless.”
“Dad…” Fu Chen glanced at Old Master Fu. “I heard from Grandma that when you wooed Mom, you ran to her house every day to make your presence known. ”
“…”
“I heard that you planned to go to her house to do farm work back then. You found out that she had servants in her family and came with a hoe.”
Old Master Fu’s face flushed red, and he wished he could kick him.
In the past, resources and labor were scarce. When someone wooed their wife, they really went to help them with their work.
At the time, Old Master Fu didn’t know what was going on in Old Madam Fu’s family. He only knew that her family was busy farming, so he ran over with the hoe. Old Madam Fu was from a wealthy family and didn’t need anyone to help her with the work at all.
It was also because of this matter that it left a deep impression on Old Madam Fu.
Because Old Master Fu was very smart and capable in the past, this was the stupidest thing he had done in his life.
Old Madam Fu’s family was in the south. At the time, the north was at war, and the Fu family had moved south to avoid the disaster. Later, when the Fu family returned home in the north, they relied on letters to communicate. Sometimes, a letter could even take months to arrive.
Afterward, the war spread. Old Madam Fu’s family planned to send her overseas, but Old Master Fu suddenly appeared on the ferry she was boarding. Old Madam Fu was touched and followed him.
For a period of time, she really avoided war everywhere and suffered all kinds of hardships.
Fu Chen once asked Old Madam Fu, “When you gave up going overseas back then and got off the boat to leave with my dad, did you regret it?”
“I regret it to death. As soon as I got off the ship, the foreigners came. I even got shot and almost lost my life.” Old Madam Fu harrumphed coldly. “I was young back then.”
“What exactly do you like about my dad?”
“Your father looked a lot like you when he was young. Go look through his old photos, and you’ll know.”
To put it simply and crudely, it was: looks!
Fu Chen was still thinking about his parents’ love story when Old Madam Fu walked out of the house…
“Why are you two still sitting outside? It gets cold the moment the sun sets. Come in quickly.”
Old Master Fu was very obedient. He got up, picked up the small stool, and went inside.
Fu Chen got up and reached out to rub his lower back. During this period of time, he was afraid of pulling the wound on his back, so he could only keep his body stiff.
Not long after he entered the house, he heard the sound of a car outside. As soon as he got up, he saw Song Fengwan wrapped in a down jacket and a small red hat.
She ran a little hurriedly and stopped at the door, her chest heaving slightly.
“Why did you stop? Come here!” Fu Chen frowned.
“My body is cold.”
“You’re thinking too much. I’ll hold you for a while.”
Uncle Zhong was busy in the kitchen. The moment he went out, he saw the two of them hugging and shook his head helplessly.
When young people fell in love, there were always all kinds of feelings and tenderness between them. No matter what, they couldn’t get enough of each other.
“Ahem—” Old Master Fu came downstairs. Why are they hugging the moment she comes?
“Grandpa Fu.” Song Fengwan hurriedly withdrew from Fu Chen’s embrace. Although she was in a relationship with Fu Chen, she couldn’t change the way she addressed him.
“Hello.” Old Master Fu cleared his throat. One time, he had gone out to smoke. When he returned, he happened to see the two of them hugging together on the sofa. He was so embarrassed that he simply went out to smoke another cigarette.
Actually, Song Fengwan was quite shy. It was Fu Chen teasing her most of the time. He was so clingy even in broad daylight.
What kind of nonsense son did I raise?
“Hello, Wanwan. Is it cold outside?” Old Madam Fu also came downstairs.
She had adapted very well. It was fine that she couldn’t be a granddaughter-in-law and instead became a daughter-in-law. It was mainly because she had been worried at first that there was a difference in their age and seniority. She had even thought that there was a generation gap between the two of them. Later on, she realized that she had been overthinking.

In order to woo his wife, her son even started watching family drama TV series.
Even when Song Fengwan watched TV, he could keep up with the discussion.
Didn’t he only watch the news and financial news in the past?
During this period of time, Old Madam Fu’s views on him had been overturned.
“It’s fine outside. It’s not that cold during the day.” Song Fengwan reached out to take off her jacket. She had been coming here a lot recently, so she was naturally not as restrained as before. The indoor heating was too strong, and she was already sweating slightly.
“You don’t have evening self-study tonight, and you have two days off tomorrow. You might as well not go back. It’s not easy to run back and forth in the middle of the night.” As soon as Old Madam Fu suggested this, Fu Chen’s eyes lit up.
“This…” Song Fengwan was still a little hesitant.
“Anyway, it’s not the first time you’re staying here. It’s indeed cold outside at night.” Seeing Fu Chen like this, Old Master Fu decided to help him.
She couldn’t turn down the two Fu elders, so she agreed to stay at the old residence tonight.
***
After dinner, Song Fengwan called her roommates.
“You told your roommates?” Old Madam Fu was sitting in front of the TV in the living room, watching a prime time TV drama.
“Yes, Grandma Fu. It’s time for you to take your medicine. I’ll go get you a glass of water.” Song Fengwan walked to the kitchen. After staying here for a long time, she naturally knew the two elders’ daily habits.
“Girls are still the most considerate.” Old Madam Fu sighed. But this form of address…
She had always wanted Song Fengwan to change the way she addressed her. She would be her daughter-in-law in the future. How could she keep calling her Grandma? She wasn’t married, so she couldn’t call her Mom directly. It was even stranger to call her Auntie.
Song Fengwan poured some warm water for her, picked up the pills prepared beforehand, and passed them to her.
“Sit. Chat with me and watch TV.”
Fu Chen sat at the side. “Mom, the two episodes will be broadcast until ten.”
“What’s wrong with ten?” Old Madam Fu was drinking water and swallowing pills.
“I only see her once every few days. We need to be alone.” Fu Chen looked unhappy.
“She’s at home tonight. Do you still care about this hour or two?”
“Do you think an hour or two is short?”
“Can’t I talk to her for a bit?” Old Madam Fu was annoyed. She had never realized that her son was so possessive before.
“You can talk to Dad.”
“I’ve been married to him for almost sixty years. We stay together all day. What’s there to talk about?”
“So it turns out that you and I have nothing to talk about anymore.” Old Master Fu had appeared in the living room at some point, and his tone was…
… proud and aggrieved.
Old Madam Fu coughed and lowered her head to continue taking her medicine, pretending not to see him.
Song Fengwan accompanied Old Madam Fu to watch an episode of the TV drama. Fu Chen then brought Song Fengwan back to his bedroom on the excuse that he needed to apply medicine.
There were a lot of books in Fu Chen’s room. When Song Fengwan entered, she glanced at the bookshelf and then at the laptop and a stack of documents on his desk. His back is injured, yet he still wants to work?
She heard the door close behind her and turned to look at him. “Is your back alright?”
“It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt that much anymore.”
“You still have to be careful.”
“I haven’t seen you in a few days. Did you miss me?” Fu Chen always liked to ask the same question patiently.
“I did.”
Their current situation for them was that absence makes the heart grow fonder. It was as if it was difficult for them to separate.
***
The old Fu residence was an old house, so the soundproofing wasn’t good. The two of them restrained themselves and didn’t make too much noise, but the old wooden bed creaked non-stop.
Old Master Fu was so angry that he shouted, “Third Son is simply shameless. This…”
“He’s injured. What can he do?” Old Madam Fu chuckled.
At this moment, Fu Chen was stretching his arms. The wounds on his back were sore from pulling, so he couldn’t do it at all.
Old Master Fu coughed twice. “To think that this brat eats vegetarian food and reads Buddhist scriptures, why is his mind full of vulgarities?”
“He’s not a monk. It’s normal for him to find a girlfriend and be intimate with her.”
“It’s so maddening. How shameless. Look at how loud his bed is. Does he even want anyone to sleep?”
“Change his bed tomorrow. He’s had that bed for more than twenty years. It’s not sturdy, and it’s single. It’s too cramped for the two of them.”
Old Master Fu snorted coldly. Why change the bed? When he recovers, I’ll just kick him out.
This was what he thought. But the next day, he still accompanied Old Madam Fu to the furniture store. The scariest thing was that she had taken the money to buy the bed from his pension. This made him very angry…
Why should I pay?!
Fu Chen woke up early to copy scriptures. Song Fengwan slept until ten before getting up. When she found out that the two elders were changing Fu Chen’s bed, she felt a little embarrassed.
Old Madam Fu kept saying that this bed was big, soft, comfortable, and sturdy! This made her blush even harder.
