Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

"Good boy, this will definitely sell for a lot of silver."

"Dad, could you please stop grinning and help me pull up first? I can't hold on any longer."

"Here it comes, here it comes. I am just expressing my feelings. It will come soon."

Both the father and the son tried their best and finally pulled up the fishing net, but after the net was pulled up, both of them were paralyzed with fear.

"Dad, that's a dead body." The boy pointed at the person in the fishing net.

"No, there's still breath." The man said bravely.

"What should I do then, Dad?"

"Bring me the mahogany stick from the bow."

The boy trembled as he climbed to the bow of the boat and handed over the stick. "Dad, this is for you."

"You little brat, why did you retreat so far?"

The boy said weakly, "Feng Li, think about it, our family must leave a descendant, don't you think this makes sense?"

The man's face darkened instantly, "Feng Qi, can you please shut up?"

"Dad, hurry up, it will be difficult for us to dispose of the body if there are too many people around."

"Just shut up. If you say it again we'll be murderers."

Feng Qi covered his mouth and signaled his father to act quickly.

Fengnian poked the "corpse" with a peach wood stick, and the father and son moved. They were overjoyed, the man was actually alive, that was great.

There were also many fish under the man. The father and son sold them for two taels of silver, but they spent one tael of silver on the man's medical treatment. However, even so, the father and son still took the man home.

As soon as Feng Qi entered the door, several brothers and sisters surrounded him. He held two candied haws and said, "Two people each, no snatching, no fighting."

"Thank you, big brother." The four younger brothers and sisters shouted in unison.

"Okay, okay, go eat. Where are grandma and mom?"

"They are sewing quilts."

"Fengxian, let them come out for a moment. We found someone."

Upon hearing this, Fengxian quickly ran towards the main room. After a while, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came out. They were bringing people home despite the bad situation at home.

Feng Qi saw the two men glaring at him and then rushing out of the yard. He felt a little guilty, but he couldn't just leave them to fend for themselves.

Fengnian was pushing a flatbed cart with two fish tied to the handlebars and a person sleeping on the cart.

Seeing his mother running towards him angrily, he felt a little guilty. The family relied on the two of them, father and son, fishing, his mother growing vegetables, and his wife doing some embroidery to make a living. He didn't know how to explain why he brought someone back home without their consent, and who was a woman at that.

"Oh my God, what's going on? Fengnian, tell me the truth, is this a romantic debt you incurred?"

Feng Nian was so excited that he threw the cart away. "Mom, you can't wrongly accuse me. I am devoted to Rou Niang. Apart from her, I don't like anyone else."

"Okay, now is not the time for you to show your loyalty. First, tell me what happened. How did she get hurt? Where are her family members? Why did you bring her back? Did you get their consent?"

The people on the car were so shocked by the sudden disaster that they frowned. Rou Niang quickly lifted the cart and said, "Mom, let's take him home and talk slowly. Everyone will get up soon and we won't be able to say anything."

"Yes, yes, yes, Rou Niang is still smart." Feng Nian agreed.

Old Mrs. Feng curled her lips. She didn't want to talk to a love-brained guy. Her wife's farts were all fragrant.

"Dad, my grandma looks down on you again."

Old Lady Feng picked up the fish that had fallen to the side and threw it over. "You little bastard, can you shut up? Xian, close the door and help me clean up the room."

"Grandma, my sister is eating. I'll go help you."

Old Lady Feng looked at her granddaughter's red mouth and wiped it with a handkerchief. "Wash your mouth clean. You are a girl. You can't be like your brothers. They are all dirty boys."

Feng Xian nodded, "I understand, grandma."

"Go and eat."

Feng Qi smiled, took her arm and said, "Grandma, I'm cute and clean."

"Okay, stop being so cute and tell me what's going on."

Fengnian recounted the whole story of how he rescued the man from the sea, how he treated him, and why he couldn't bear to abandon him.

After hearing this, Old Lady Feng didn't speak for a long time. Feng Nian looked at her cautiously, "Grandma, if you don't agree, then we should just throw her back or let her fend for herself."

Old Lady Feng slapped him lightly and said, "You little bastard, your grandfather was willing to sacrifice his life to save others, and he wouldn't agree with us doing this. Stay here for now, at least until she gets better."

Feng Nian was overjoyed, "Grandma, do you know I have another idea?"

Old Lady Feng raised her foot and kicked it, "No, you don't have any ideas."

"Grandma, I haven't said it yet."

"No need, hurry up and pack up, your mother and I will carry the person over in a while."

Feng Nian waved his hands, "You don't need to lift me, I can hold it by myself, I'm very strong."

"Your father didn't hold you?"

"No, my father said that he wanted my mother to remain a virgin, so he let me hold her. Besides, she has white hair, and is probably about the same age as you, grandma. I am trying to save her life, not to be disrespectful. Grandma, you can't say I am wrong. I know that a gentleman has his own ways and his own ways..."

After hearing this, Old Lady Feng immediately went out to take a closer look at the person's appearance. "Although her hair is white, she is younger than your mother. I don't know what kind of misfortune she encountered that could make her hair so white."

"Mom, give me a hand. I'll carry her in."

"it is good."

......

Three days later, the person on the wooden bed woke up. Fengxian shouted happily, "Grandma, Mom, Auntie is awake."

Then he turned around and asked, "Auntie, are you thirsty? Do you want some water? Do you want to sit up? Can I help you up?"

"Who are you? Where is this?" a hoarse voice sounded.

Fengxian sat beside the bed and said, "Aunt, this is a small fishing village in the East Sea Country. My name is Fengxian, and you were fished out of the sea by my father and my eldest brother three days ago.

For your reputation, we will tell others that you are my grandfather's mistress and we will call you aunt."

"Lan Qiyan, my name is Lan Qiyan." The person on the bed said, holding a "nothing to do" sign around his neck.

Feng Xian looked at the words on the card and frowned, "Aunt, I don't know how to read, but my father should know how to read. I'll ask him when he comes back."

When Old Lady Feng and Rouniang heard Fengxian's voice, they put down their work and ran in.

"Qi Yan, you're finally awake." Old Mrs. Feng said excitedly.

Lan Qiyan was still a little uncomfortable, "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble. I... I don't know how I came to be. The name can be erased and then pawned. It will be my way of repaying you for saving my life." Lan Qiyan took off the "Nothing to Do" badge from his neck and placed it in Old Lady Feng's hand.

Old Lady Feng picked it up again and put it around her neck. "This might be a gift from your mother or your relatives. It's also the only thing that can prove your identity. How can you pawn it? It's not like our family can't afford food. Don't worry. Saving people is an ancestral virtue for our Feng family. We don't ask for anything in return."

Fengxian: Yes, the character of throwing away one’s life.

Old Mrs. Feng: Don’t learn to be a nagging person like your elder brother.

Feng Qi: What's wrong with me? It's great that I'm so outstanding.
