The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 70: Mother's Diary

Fu Xiao pressed her lips together, trying hard to ignore the discomfort that surged in her heart.

After a brief pause, she turned and left the pharmacy without looking back.

Once outside the pharmacy, she continued walking in silence, not saying a word.

Fu Hong stopped Fu Yu, scratching his head, unsure how to start, and eventually asked directly, "Big Brother, what's wrong with our sister? And who was that old man just now?"

"I don't know," Fu Yu said with a complicated tone, his eyes slightly narrowed. "She must be thinking about our aunt..."

He continued solemnly, "You and the others should go to the meeting point and wait for the ox cart. I'm going to visit Third Uncle's office."

After glancing at the quiet girl in front of him, he turned and walked in another direction.

Arriving at the county committee office, he went straight to Fu Weilun's office and knocked on the door.

Fu Weilun, who was reading documents, looked up and raised an eyebrow, "Why did you come alone..."

Fu Yu cut straight to the point, "Third Uncle, we ran into an old man named Yang at the pharmacy who seemed to know Aunt and said he had seen me when I was young. Who is he?"

Fu Weilun looked momentarily stunned. "Yang? What did he say his name was..."

Fu Yu shook his head, "He didn't say his name. He looked about the same age as Grandpa, his eyebrows were a bit gray, and other than that, he looked like an ordinary old man."

Fu Weilun pondered for a moment. "Oh, he should be someone Aunt Jing Shu knew. I remember she once asked him to see Xiao Yu when he was young. Don't worry too much, but make sure Xiao Xiao doesn't see him again in the future. If she does, it shouldn't be alone."

Fu Yu nodded but asked, "Third Uncle, why? Is there something wrong with this person?"

"It's not that there's something wrong with him, but we're afraid he might bring up Aunt, which would upset our sister. Alright, it's almost three o'clock. You should go get on the ox cart."

After Fu Yu left, Fu Weilun's smile vanished, and a hint of an unreadable expression flashed in his eyes.

He did remember this Mr. Yang, roughly from the time when Aunt Jing Shu was pregnant with Xiao Xiao. Back then, his relationship with Xiao Shu and Jing Shu was quite good, but they had stopped seeing him later on. Whenever Mr. Yang was mentioned, Xiao Shu would show anger and warn him not to bring up Mr. Yang.

At that time, he suspected why such a kind person like Xiao Shu would be so furious with Mr. Yang. Could it be related to Xiao Xiao's father?

"Secretary, the meeting is about to start..." Wang Zhifeng's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Fu Weilun concealed his expression, thinking to himself that he would check with the pharmacy again after finishing his work.

He picked up the documents from his desk and headed to the meeting room.

With some time still left before the ox cart's departure, many people hadn't arrived at the meeting point yet. Fu Xiao turned to ask Fu Hong, "Second Brother, where did Big Brother go?"

Fu Hong smiled and said, "Big Brother went to find Third Uncle about something."

Fu Xiao said "Oh" and took the North Ice Drink that Fu Sui handed her, not saying anything more.

After waiting for another ten minutes, Uncle Song finally arrived with the ox cart, and Fu Yu returned.

Seeing him, Fu Xiao waved from the ox cart, "Big Brother, come over here."
