Yu Meiqiang and his men were taken away by the investigators. Fan Lingling's matter would soon be investigated and the truth would be revealed.
Wei Zhen walked up to Feng Nian and said, "Consider what happened tonight as me returning the favor for the wooden fish you gave me."
Wei Zhen still remembered how Feng Nian kept Fan Lingling under her umbrella and pasted a talisman on her without saying a word. Then, she turned around and left without letting him send her off. At that time, Wei Zhen looked at Feng Nian's back and felt that she was very lonely. She seemed to be very similar to him and was always alone.
Fan Lingling's soul had suddenly attacked Yu Meiqiang. Wei Zhen had asked someone to investigate Yu Meiqiang in private. That was why he had brought the investigators to Weng family village tonight. He had not fulfilled his promise to Fan Rui to find Fan Lingling, but he had helped Fan Lingling find the culprit. This could be considered an explanation for Fan Rui.
Feng Nian remembered that her grandfather had once told her that she should always be on good terms with him. Back then, she had given the wooden fish that she had brought with her for many years to Wei Zhen. She had never thought of repaying him. However, tonight, she felt the benefits of being on good terms with him. "No matter what, I still have to thank Master Wei for helping me tonight." If Wei Zhen had not appeared, she, Xiao Jiasheng, and the others would have faced a fierce battle.
Wei Zhen nodded and accepted Feng Nian's gratitude. The assistant beside him had already opened the door for Wei Zhen. Soon, Wei Zhen left the Weng family village.
"Knock, knock." The sound of the walking stick approached. Weng Chunsheng anxiously came to the bag containing Fan Lingling's bones. He knelt down shakily. This was just a set of human bones, but he felt that it was so familiar. His Lingling did not leave, but was buried underground. He roared at the sky. After so many years, he had always suspected that Fan Lingling could not stand the hardship and left. He was wrong.
The gourd hanging on Feng Nian's waist suddenly trembled. She reached out and opened the gourd. Fan Lingling gradually condensed into a human form.
Ever since it met Yu Meiqiang in the old building, it had regained its memories from when it was alive. It remembered that this crippled man was its husband, the child's father, Weng Chunsheng.
"Do you want him to see you?" Feng Nian saw the sorrowful expression on Fan Lingling's face. When Yu Meiqiang was around, Fan Lingling had quietly stayed in the gourd and did not want to come out. She wanted to forget her hatred and reincarnate. Now that Weng Chunsheng had appeared, Fan Lingling wanted to come out and see him again. This made Feng Nian want to help Fan Lingling fulfill her last wish. At the very least, it would be good for them to say a few words and not leave any regrets.
"No, I'll go back. It's over." Fan Lingling gradually dissipated her human form. Everything was over tonight.

My name was Fan Lingling and I was the only daughter of my family. My parents had doted on me since I was young and had always listened to me. However, my failure in the college entrance examination had transferred me from my favorite Finance major to the Feed and Animal Nutrition major. What kind of job could I find in this major in a big city? However, my family did not agree to let me repeat my studies. They said that it did not matter what a girl studied. It was just for a certificate.
Unable to convince my parents, I went to university with disappointment and melancholy.
In the first semester of my freshman year, I was muddle-headed. My grades were ranked at the bottom of the class, and I had failed a few subjects. I had almost never spoken to my classmates. In the second semester, a slightly tanned but very sunny boy appeared in front of me. His name was Weng Chunsheng, and he was the class monitor. The form teacher had asked him to tutor me with my grades. Otherwise, with my progress, I would definitely not be able to graduate.
At first, I did not have a good impression of Weng Chunsheng and did not treat him well. However, he still came to my side often and carefully told me about the homework assigned in each class. He even lent me his notes. I only turned a page. Other than thinking that his handwriting was good, the rest of the content did not enter my mind.
Due to the uncertain future and the fact that I did not like my major, I often skipped class and went to the Finance major I originally wanted to register for. Unexpectedly, Weng Chunsheng followed me. He would sit in the row behind me and listen to the class quietly. When he realized that I had turned to look at him, he would give me a big smile.
After skipping classes with me for a few days, I heard from the others that the form teacher was talking to Weng Chunsheng for the first time. His family was not doing well. I heard that his financial situation was average. He also had a younger brother who was disabled and needed to take medicine constantly. He needed to apply for a scholarship, but after skipping too many classes, it became a stumbling block to apply for a scholarship.
"Why are you following me to skip class?" It was the first time I had stopped a boy on the school road and the first time I had taken the initiative to talk to him.
He gave me another big smile. "I have to tutor you. Naturally, I have to follow you."
The next day, for the first time ever, I appeared in the classroom on time. When he saw me, he was first stunned, then he smiled happily.
Although I no longer skipped classes, I did not listen to any classes for a semester. I did not understand any specialized classes at all. It was as if I was listening to a religious scripture. I flipped through my Finance textbook in class. This scene fell into Weng Chunsheng's eyes.
Weng Chunsheng took the initiative to find me after class and offered to tutor me. I thought he was just saying it and did not take it to heart. I did not expect him to really do it. During class, he even sat next to me and pushed the notes to me. During my free time, he helped me catch up on my missed major.
During the midterm exam, not only did I pass, but my results were also ranked above average in the class. When the results of the midterm exam came out that day, Weng Chunsheng smiled even more happily than me, as if he had improved his results.
Weng Chunsheng and I had more interactions than the other students in the class. It was nothing more than talking about professional knowledge and homework assigned by the teacher. He was very busy. He worked a few part-time jobs alone and would send the money he had saved home.
I really could not stand the coat he was wearing. Although it was very clean, there were several patches under the hem. I had bought a coat at random while shopping and stuffed it into his hands. He smiled, revealing his white teeth.
After my major was on track, there was almost no communication with Weng Chunsheng until I saw Weng Chunsheng's punishment on the school's bulletin board. It was announced that he had fought with a boy from the finance major and had been disqualified from applying for a scholarship that semester.
Desperately, I ran to the boys' dormitory and found Weng Chunsheng. The corner of his mouth was still bruised, and the corners of his eyes were black. The marks of a fight were still on his face.
I asked him why he fought with the other boy, but he did not answer. He smiled at me.
Later, I learned the reason from others. That boy from the Finance major said to everyone that I went to the Finance major for the sake of the class hunk. When he saw that the class hunk ignored me, he returned to his class to study. That day, when he said this, Weng Chunsheng happened to hear him. Weng Chunsheng punched the boy without hesitation, which led to the subsequent fight.
