Chapter 410: Chapter 410: The Perseverance of the Elderly

Guided by Zhou Meifeng, Xiao Yifei finally parked the car beside a dilapidated house, yes, this house stood lonely on its own, the old mud-brick house struggling to retain its original appearance. Small stone paths flanked by green vegetables ran past the front, where some old clothes were sunning, revealing just a hint of life’s aura.

In the countryside, having only one house could signify that Zhou Meifeng’s home belonged to the very poor strata of the village.

Xiao Yifei parked the car next to the house and took an unexpected glance at it. He knew that Zhou Meifeng came from a poor family background, but he had not expected it to be this poor.

Just as Xiao Yifei had parked the car beside the house, Zhou Meifeng suddenly opened the door and rushed out, hurrying into the house with great urgency.

"Dad, Mom."

As she ran, Zhou Meifeng called out anxiously.

Seeing her come out, Zhou Meifeng was genuinely worried that something untoward might have happened to her parents.

Xiao Yifei followed behind Zhou Meifeng and walked towards the house.

Although summer was nearly over, there was still a trace of heat in the air, and it was slightly sweltering. However, despite this, there were still thick curtains hanging at the doorway, which made Xiao Yifei curious.

Xiao Yifei pushed aside the somewhat blackened curtain and entered the house. As soon as he stepped inside, Xiao Yifei was hit by a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine that assaulted his nostrils, causing him to frown slightly.

In the dim room, Zhou Meifeng’s clear voice could be heard from the other side, and Xiao Yifei slowly made his way towards it.

"Fengfeng, why did you suddenly come back?"

Standing behind Zhou Meifeng, Xiao Yifei saw a weakened old man in his seventies lying on a dirtied bed, his sparse white hair and cloudy eyes revealing his frailty. Next to the bed stood a hunchbacked old woman, her face etched with the hardships of life.

"Nothing’s wrong, I just came back to see you two."

Zhou Meifeng held the frail hand of the man on the bed and smiled in response.

"As long as there’s nothing wrong. I wonder how you’re living in Yanjing, sigh, it’s tough for you out there."

The old man sighed deeply and spoke gravely to Zhou Meifeng, "Following us has made it hard for you, truly. To think such a pretty girl like you has had to suffer so early in life. We’re sorry, dear."

"Dad, what are you talking about? I’m really content and happy to have you!"

Zhou Meifeng looked at the weak old man lying on the bed, her eyes becoming slightly moist.

"Fengfeng, have you been up to no good in the city?"

All of a sudden, the hunchbacked old woman standing at the head of the bed looked sharply at Zhou Meifeng and raised her voice sharply.

"Haven’t I taught you that, although we are poor, a girl must maintain her integrity, knowing what she can and cannot do!"

Looking sternly at Zhou Meifeng, the old woman spoke harshly, "Tell me, have you been doing something bad out there? I just knew it, why else would the money you’ve been sending home lately be increasing! Zhou Meifeng, have you become so capable now?"

The old woman glared at Zhou Meifeng with enraged eyes, her feelings so agitated that she began to cough violently, bending her already hunched back even more, her face’s worried wrinkles tangling together.

"Mom, don’t be angry, I haven’t done anything wrong! Really!"

Zhou Meifeng saw the old woman’s appearance and quickly stood up, taking the broken aluminum pot next to her and pouring a pot of water. She hurriedly handed it over, "Mom, don’t be angry, have some water first. Your health isn’t great, so don’t get so worked up. You know your daughter; who else would you trust if not her?"

Zhou Meifeng patted the old woman’s back, her voice filled with concern.

The bedridden old man saw this scene, his dim eyes devoid of any sparkle as he sighed heavily.

"It’s not that I don’t trust you, ah, but I’m really afraid you’ve taken the wrong path. There are so many temptations in society these days, and I’m really scared..."

After drinking the water, the old woman clearly felt better. She scanned Zhou Meifeng from head to toe, her eyes dimming, "I don’t blame you, I don’t blame you."

In fact, it was not entirely Zhou Meifeng’s parents’ fault for misunderstanding her. Ultimately, it was somewhat related to Xiao Yifei. Due to his perverse taste, the clothes he bought for Zhou Meifeng were mostly various form-fitting dresses that accentuated her figure, and today, knowing that Xiao Yifei liked to see her in the form-fitting dresses, Zhou Meifeng was wearing one of the most provocative ones, and her legs were also wrapped in thin silk.

The clothes were indeed attractive and sexy but not suitable to be seen by Zhou Meifeng’s parents back in the village. However, fearing that something might happen to her parents, they came out in a hurry, without changing clothes.

To her parents in the village, Zhou Meifeng’s fashionable and sexy attire seemed highly inappropriate, prompting them to imagine all sorts of things.

"Dad, Mom, it’s really not what you think."

Zhou Meifeng, somewhat anxiously, replied to the old woman, "Mom, I really haven’t done anything bad. I work as a housekeeper in the city, and my boss is very nice. He pays well, and I really haven’t done any bad work."

Lying sick in bed, Zhou Meifeng’s father looked at her somberly, remaining silent.

Her mother, the old woman, after hearing Zhou Meifeng’s words, let out a heavy sigh and said, "These clothes of yours are obviously not cheap. Can you really afford them as a housekeeper? And is such attire necessary for a housekeeper?"

"Have you forgotten all that I taught you before? To be honest and kind? How come you can’t even do these now, truly disappointing me."

Zhou Meifeng’s mother’s heavy voice made Zhou Meifeng feel very frustrated: "Mom, how many times do I have to say it before you believe me? I haven’t done any of those things; these clothes... my boss bought them for me!"

"Sigh, a while back, Da Yan came back wearing people’s clothes and dog’s demeanor, neck tied with a big golden chain, telling everyone he made a fortune. It was clear to anyone with eyes that Da Yan wasn’t doing good things. I used to laugh at him, saying it’s good that I didn’t let you two end up together."

The old woman shook her head, "Now it seems, ah, I never would’ve thought that my good daughter would turn out like this. Your boss bought you these clothes? Why would he do that?"

The old woman looked at Zhou Meifeng, her round bottom and tall chest were emphatically displayed under the tight dresses, and she couldn’t help shaking her head, "I know you’re beautiful... sigh."

Zhou Meifeng felt like crying upon hearing her mother speak of her that way.

"Auntie, these clothes were indeed bought by me for Zhou Meifeng. She really is working as a housekeeper in our house, and she hasn’t done anything bad," Xiao Yifei said as he walked up to the bed, a faint smile on his face as he earnestly spoke to the old woman.

"Who are you? Who let you into our house!"

The old woman, upon discovering a tall and handsome young man suddenly appearing in her home, became instantly tense. She looked at Xiao Yifei, asking warily while she also tried to pull Zhou Meifeng behind her.

And after Xiao Yifei suddenly spoke, Zhou Meifeng’s parents lying on the bed became alert as well, struggling to get up.

Anyone’s heart would be filled with worry if a person suddenly appeared in their house. Zhou Meifeng’s parents were filled with remorse, how could a person enter their house unnoticed!

"Uncle, it’s okay, don’t worry. I am Zhou Meifeng’s boss."
