The Road to Becoming a Son-in-Law

Chapter 8 Getting a Certificate

A dozen minutes later, when the two walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau building, they had a red marriage certificate in their hands.

"So... this girl is really going to be my wife?"

Looking at the marriage certificate in his hand, Chen Feng felt a bit overwhelmed.

He had always liked Senior Sister Tie Dan, so how could this stupid woman, who looked like a bean sprout, become his wife?

Indeed, ideals are often grand, but reality is far from it!

Small!The pattern is smaller!

Compared to Senior Sister Tie Dan, this girl is far inferior!

Mu Qianxue had no idea what Chen Feng was thinking. Although she was the one who had been in a hurry to get the marriage certificate, she felt a little lost at this moment.

She just married Chen Feng like that? Married this country bumpkin?

The prince charming of my dreams has turned into a frog?

With a deep sigh, Mu Qianxue seemed to suddenly realize something and grabbed Chen Feng's arm: "The hospital just called. Grandpa's condition has worsened. You need to come to the hospital with me right now!"

If it weren't for this phone call, Mu Qianxue wouldn't have married Chen Feng so soon!

"Oh? Is the old man seriously ill?"

Chen Feng didn't care. When he went down the mountain before, his master did tell him that the old patriarch of the Mu family suffered from an old illness. This time, he was sent down the mountain to treat the old patriarch of the Mu family.

Although Chen Feng's master was unreliable, he was indeed a formidable figure. From childhood to adulthood, Chen Feng learned a great deal from him, especially in medical skills, where he surpassed his master.

Thirty years ago, Chen Feng's master spent a great deal of money but only managed to delay the old man's illness. Now, if there is any hope in the world for curing the old man's illness, it is only Chen Feng.

The two had no interest in celebrating their marriage registration and drove straight to the municipal hospital.

Of course, Chen Feng had other purposes for coming down the mountain, but since the old master of the Mu family had something to do, he decided to go and see him first.

Unexpectedly, when the two arrived at the hospital, Mu Qianxue's uncle stopped them at the door, frowning as he looked at them and said, "Qianxue! The old man doesn't want to see you right now. He has already woken up, so you don't need to go in anymore."

Mu Qianxue's uncle, Mu Xiaofeng, is currently the executive director of the Mu Group and the acting head of the Mu family.

Even Mu Qianxue couldn't refute what he said, so she could only plead in a low voice, "Uncle, I just want to bring my husband to see Grandpa."

"husband?"

Mu Xiaofeng glanced at Chen Feng, his expression unchanged, and continued, "That won't do. The old man just passed it down himself. If you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Ding!"

"Yes, Miss. The old master has just woken up and doesn't want to see you yet. If you really want to bring your son-in-law to see the old master, you can wait a couple of days."

Ding Chen is the confidant of the Mu family patriarch and also the Mu family's chief steward. His words can fully represent the old master Mu.

So Mu Qianxue had no choice but to leave the hospital with Chen Feng.

Upon arriving at the hospital entrance, Mu Qianxue left Chen Feng a wad of cash and said, "Since Grandpa is alright, I'll head back to the company now. You don't need to wait for me for dinner; eat whatever you want. This two thousand yuan should be enough for you."

Chen Feng was dumbfounded!

Two thousand! Goodness gracious!

This woman is really rich!

I was living on the mountain, and I only made a few hundred yuan a month, which was enough to make me happy. I never expected that this woman would give me two thousand without even thinking about it.

Chen Feng suddenly felt that being a live-in son-in-law wasn't so bad; at least he wouldn't have to worry about running out of money in the future.

However, Chen Feng quickly remembered something and couldn't help but frown.

Before he went down the mountain this time, his master told him about the old man of the Mu family and also about his background.

Back then in Jiangnan, there was a Chen family, a powerful clan in the region, but for some unknown reason, they were wiped out eighteen years ago.

Chen Feng's master was a good friend of Chen Jiyuan, the patriarch of the Chen family. He went to the Chen family mansion after receiving a letter of distress from Chen Jiyuan, but by the time he arrived, the Chen family had been wiped out. He only found Chen Feng, who was still an infant at the time, in the ruins.

Originally, if Chen Feng hadn't come down the mountain, his master would have kept this a secret for life.

But now, Chen Feng has gone down the mountain, and he's even going to Jiangnan City.

Chen Feng's master decided to tell Chen Feng about this. He also said that Chen Jiyuan's strength back then was only slightly weaker than Chen Feng's now. If Chen Feng really found out the real culprit and wanted to take revenge, he should tell him in advance.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng felt a heavy weight in his chest.

For so many years, he actually thought he was an orphan without parents. If his master hadn't taken him in, he might have been carried off by wolves long ago.

But now, reality is even crueler. It turns out he did have a family, but his entire family was wiped out!

"Dongjiang Province has two major cities, Jiangnan and Jiangbei. According to Master, there was a Chen family in Jiangnan and Jiangbei back then, and they were said to have originated from the same ancestor. Now, the Chen family in Jiangnan has been wiped out, but the Chen family in Jiangbei has become incredibly prosperous. Is there some secret behind this?"

Before Chen Feng came, he had a general understanding of Dongjiang Province, but not very thoroughly. He only vaguely knew that there seemed to be some problems between the two major cities in Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

"Never mind, my master gave me the address of the old Chen family site before I came. I'll go and pay my respects first, no matter what."

Chen Feng let out a soft breath. He figured it would be difficult to find out the truth of what happened back then, so he decided to go and check the Chen family ruins at the address his master had given him first, and deal with other things later.

After asking for directions, Chen Feng arrived at the front of a manor in the suburbs a dozen minutes later.

This manor covers a vast area, and even though only ruins remain now, one can still see the manor's former prosperity.

"Heh, I never imagined my home would turn out like this?"

Upon seeing this scene, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile wryly. Just as he was about to take a step forward, he saw a crisp sound coming from inside the manor.

It looks like something was broken?

Are there still people living in this village? Are they descendants of the Chen family?

Thinking of this, Chen Feng felt incredibly excited!

He was really impatient; he wanted to see if he still had any relatives living in this world.

When he quickly jumped into the house, he saw a huge flat area, and in the center of the flat area was a dilapidated wooden house.

At that moment, a small, thin figure was squatting on the ground in front of the cabin.

This is a little girl dressed in tattered clothes. She must have broken the bowl just now, and she is now trying to pick up the pieces of the bowl with a pained expression.

Chen Feng was unsure of the little girl's identity, but he couldn't help but walk over.

But at that moment, the girl noticed the noise.

"Hiss..."

The little girl was startled and was about to run away when her hand slipped on the shards of metal.

"do not move!"

Chen Feng quickly jumped over, grabbed the little girl, and then turned on the tap next to him to rinse the little girl's wound with water.

"You...who are you?"

Seeing that Chen Feng didn't seem to want to hurt her, the little girl didn't struggle at this moment, but just asked a question in a low voice.

Chen Feng took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, sprinkled some powder on the little girl's wound, and for some reason, he felt a surge of blood in his body.

Is that... the bond of family?

Why does this little girl give me this feeling? Could she really be my family?
