Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 739: Chapter 300: Betrayal, Old Friends, Hidden Secrets (Ten-Thousand-Word Combo Chapter)

In the memories Fu Changsheng acquired from Wuo Sang, Wuo Sang would return home every few years, but each time he would violently beat his wife. When he couldn’t extract any more money, he sold whatever could be sold from the house. That’s why the yard is now empty, with almost nothing valuable left.

A few girls of varying ages hid in the left wing room, looking fearfully at Fu Changsheng. They were terrified of this so-called father because they had witnessed his violence too many times.

Fu Changsheng sighed inwardly.

Knowing that if he did anything out of the ordinary, it might arouse the suspicion of this small woman, he snorted coldly and said stiffly:

"I want to sleep well, and even if the sky falls, don’t disturb me, understand?!" He could only mimic Wuo Sang’s style as much as possible, trying not to reveal any flaws.

"The children’s father, can you take Fanm Girl to see the Elder, Fanm Girl... I’m afraid she can’t hold on much longer, sob, sob..." The small woman covered her mouth, not daring to cry out loud. Her eyes were full of pleading; Fanm Girl was her beloved, and she couldn’t bear to see her daughter just die like this.

Fu Changsheng swept with his Divine Sense and saw on the bottom layer of the three-layer small wooden bed in the left wing room, a skinny girl lay there, her face sallow, looking already beyond cure. If not saved, she might not survive a few more days.

Fu Changsheng hesitated for a moment.

He slapped his storage bag, and with a flash of Dawn Light, a pill bottle appeared instantly:

"This is Qi Reviving Powder. Divide the bottle’s contents for ten days, give Fanm Girl three times a day."

After speaking.

Fu Changsheng didn’t stay and went straight into the main room.

The small woman stood dazed, looking at the pill bottle before her, stunned for a long time, and then suddenly burst into tears, as if all the grievances of these years were unleashed at this moment.

This burst of tears.

Frightened the girls in the house, who hurriedly ran out, bewildered, holding the small woman. The small woman quickly covered her mouth, swallowing her cries back, holding the pill bottle tightly in her hands:

"Big Girl, quickly boil some hot water."

The small woman’s small feet quickly entered the left wing room, touching Fanm Girl on the sickbed, sobbing softly:

"Sixth Girl, your father still cares about you, don’t worry, you’ll get better soon, you will surely get better."

This was the first bit of kindness she had received from Wuo Sang in so many years, even if it might only be temporary. She clutched the pill bottle tightly, as if it were her daughter’s lifeline.

After entering the main room, Fu Changsheng found the furnishings inside very simple, with little other than a worn bed and a few basic tables and chairs. Some old clothes hung on the walls, exuding a stale air.

Fu Changsheng sat in the room for a while, then decided to go for a walk.

He had to familiarize himself with the layout of the Inner City of the Yinan Tribe before the Celestial Woe Tribe attacked, especially the exact location of the Chieftain’s Mansion.

He left the room and saw the small woman busily taking care of Fanm Girl. Fanm Girl had already taken the Qi Reviving Powder, and her face seemed slightly better. The small woman saw Fu Changsheng emerge, a flash of surprise in her eyes, but she quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.

Without speaking, Fu Changsheng walked straight out of the small courtyard, strolling slowly along Qianyun Lane, observing the people and surroundings around him.

He saw the residents in the lane busy with their affairs, some drying clothes, some cooking, some teaching children. Life here, although plain, was full of vitality.

Reaching the end of the lane, Fu Changsheng saw a small square with children playing and some old people chatting in the sun. As he approached, he overheard the old people talking about some matters of the tribe.

"I’ve heard that the tribe’s resources are getting scarcer lately, not sure why." An elder said, frowning.

"Yeah, maybe it’s because the situation at the border is unstable, a lot of merchant caravans are afraid to come." Another elder echoed.

"I heard some young members of the tribe want to venture out, but the tribe’s rules are strict, it’s not easy to leave."

"That’s right, it’s for the sake of the tribe’s safety. After all, the outside world is dangerous now, especially around the Great Zhou, I’ve heard war could break out any time."

Having circled the square once, familiarizing himself with the Chieftain’s Mansion’s location and gaining a general understanding of the Inner City’s layout, Fu Changsheng then took another lane back. On his way back, he encountered Wuo Shang.

"Sixth Brother, why are you out? Didn’t you say you needed to rest well?" Wuo Shang asked, surprised to see Fu Changsheng.

"I was feeling stifled in the room, so I came out for a walk." Fu Changsheng imitated Wuo Sang’s tone.

"Oh, is that so. Sixth Brother, let me tell you, the situation in the tribe hasn’t been good lately, you should pay attention to it too." Wuo Shang said with concern.

"Understood." Fu Changsheng nodded.

"By the way, how is Fanm Girl’s illness?" Wuo Shang asked.

"I gave her some medication, she should be a bit better." Fu Changsheng replied.

"That’s good, hope Fanm Girl recovers soon." Wuo Shang said.

They chatted for a while longer before parting ways. When Fu Changsheng returned to the small courtyard, he saw the small woman peering out the door.

"The children’s father, you’re back." The small woman said softly.
