Chapter 875: Chapter 876 Shelter

"Teacher, I’ll go with you to the public security bureau," Meng Xinian said to Liu Guoying.

Although Liu Guoying was surprised by the demeanor of this refined-looking man, thinking about Chiang Xiao’s behavior just now, he knew this man must be related to Chiang Xiao and he already felt a sense of trust in him.

"Alright," he said gravely, "I have done nothing wrong and I sit upright, I’m not afraid of reporting to the police, let’s all go to the public security bureau to clear things up!"

Feng Daji glared at Meng Xinian, "Are you that girl’s relative? Her brother? Really loves to meddle in other people’s business!"

Her brother?

Meng Xinian’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Yep, he was angry.

Meng Xinian followed Liu Guoying and others to the public security bureau, while the onlookers dispersed, with only the most curious and idle ones heading to the public security bureau as well.

Finally, the Fu Family home quieted down.

Chiang Xiao helped Madam Liu into the living room and looked towards Mrs. Fu, "Auntie, where is the principal?"

"He went to the school. He said someone has donated a batch of books, and he’s there to receive them," Mrs. Fu said, looking at Madam Liu who was coughing violently, and sighed, "Wasn’t it said that her health had gotten much better before?"

During that time, Liu Guoying had been very happy, saying that his wife’s condition had improved and she could even eat properly now.

But within a few years, during the New Year’s celebration, they were unable to live there anymore and had to move out.

As they couldn’t find a place to live temporarily, Liu Guoying thought of staying at a guest house with his wife at first, but guest houses were expensive, so he came to borrow money from Fu Mingfeng.

Only after Fu Mingfeng asked did he learn what had happened, and he immediately insisted on them staying over.

But they had only stayed for two days when the Feng Daji couple came knocking at their door.

Being blocked at the door like that during the New Year’s celebration was very depressing for Mrs. Fu as well.

"Cough, cough, cough, it’s all me, cough, cough, with such a weak constitution, cough, cough, cough," Madam Liu said between coughs, bringing tears to her eyes.

Chiang Xiao quietly sighed to herself, stood up, and said, "Auntie, I’ll cook some tea for Madam Liu, this tea has a soothing effect on her cough."

She guessed that at the Feng Family home, Madam Liu must have heard too many idle gossip and endured too much distress, and she certainly would not want to tell Teacher Liu, so she kept it all bottled up inside, making her illness worsen.

"That would be good, go ahead," Mrs. Fu said upon seeing Madam Liu cough so severely that it alarmed her; she was truly worried it would cause her to cough up blood.

So she didn’t bother with pleasantries with Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao went to the kitchen and took out a small jar of homemade floral tea from the Space, made with chrysanthemums from the Spiritual Spring.

While brewing the tea, she added a few drops of Spring Water to the kettle.

Seeing Madam Liu cough to such an extent, she felt that without adding some Spiritual Spring Water fast relief for her cough wouldn’t be possible.

After the tea was ready, she carried the pot and the small jar of floral tea back to the living room where Mrs. Fu went to get cups for the tea, but Madam Liu gestured her to stop and got her own cup instead.

"My illness is not contagious, but..." she said with a pale face and apologies, "I always use my own cup."

"That’s fine. Madam, drink a few more cups of this tea, it will help," Chiang Xiao said as she poured a cup for her, then turned to Mrs. Fu, "Auntie, you can have a cup too."

"Then I’ll try it," Mrs. Fu said, taking a cup over and having Chiang Xiao pour her some.

The rising steam, the fragrance of tea, light and peaceful.

Both of them took a sip of tea, at first only noticing the delicate chrysanthemum fragrance but as they realized its taste, they finished the entire cup.

They just couldn’t stop.

"Hey, this tea is really delicious, Xiao Chiang, where did you buy this?" Mrs. Fu asked, clearly knowledgeable about fine teas.
