Yang Youwei heard the words, and his expression relaxed a bit, saying: "So, your relationship was confirmed after the great flood?"
Yang Mei nodded slightly, her face somewhat red.
Yang Youwei glanced at his daughter and suddenly asked: "What about Li Zhiqiang?"
Yang Mei’s face turned pale instantly, looking at her father.
Seeing her father’s gaze fixed on her, she said tremblingly: "I... I don’t know either..."
Yang Youwei frowned: "You don’t know? You two are husband and wife, how could you not know?"
"What exactly happened between you two?"
"Did Li Zhiqiang get killed by this man named Liang? Did he force you to be his woman?"
Anger appeared on Yang Youwei’s face as he quickly questioned.
If Mr. Liang had forced his daughter and killed his son-in-law, he would definitely not recognize this man.
Yang Mei hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, Dad, it’s not what you think."
Yang Mei’s eyes reddened as she urgently defended Liang Yuan.
"It was Li Zhiqiang, Li Zhiqiang was not human at all, he... he wanted to trade me for food..."
Talking about this, Yang Mei’s eyes reddened again, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
Hearing this, Yang Youwei was immediately enraged, suddenly slamming the table: "What did you say? That beast Li Zhiqiang dared to do such a thing?"
Yang Mei cried as she recounted everything that happened when the great flood first began.
In front of her father, she expressed all her grievances.
Yang Youwei listened with gritted teeth, really wishing he could find Li Zhiqiang and tear him apart.
Especially when he heard that his daughter couldn’t even drink a mouthful of instant noodle soup, being forced by that beast to borrow food from the neighbor’s house.
Even making his daughter seduce the neighbor to get food.
Yang Youwei nearly exploded with anger.
His eyes were slightly red, extremely furious, cursing: "Beast! That beast, how could he, how could he treat you like this?"
"Back when his family came to propose, they all swore that he would treat you well for a lifetime, that’s why your mother and I agreed to the marriage."
"Bastard, beast!"
"Where is Li Zhiqiang now? I want to skin him alive!"
Yang Youwei gripped his arm tightly, extremely angry.
Yang Mei wiped her tears, saying: "I don’t know where he is either. After Liang Yuan saved me, I’ve been living at his place."
"He not only provided me with food and drink but also took good care of me."
"Later, there was a riot in the building, many people died."
"Li Zhiqiang never appeared again. I estimate... he should be dead already."
Yang Youwei cursed: "Lucky for that beast. If he were alive, I would swim to Meidu Garden to kill that beast!"
Yang Mei held his arm, comforting: "Dad, it’s all over now, I’m doing well now."
"Liang Yuan treats me very well, I love him very much, and he loves me."
"He knew you were in Meishan, so he specifically took me across the flood from Yangshan to come here."
"You’ve seen all this."
Yang Youwei fell silent, sat back down, and sighed: "From what you said, this boy really treats you well."
He had seen, after the great flood, many people abandoned their families, fought for food, turned against their spouses, and children became enemies.
He also witnessed the evil deeds of people like Li Kuirong.
Because of this, he knew how lucky his daughter was to have met Liang Yuan.
At that moment, he no longer felt any hostility or wariness towards Liang Yuan, only gratitude and comfort.
"It’s a pity your mother can’t see this..."
He closed his eyes, his face sad.
Yang Mei heard this and started crying too.
Yang Mei then asked Yang Youwei how they had spent this time.
Yang Youwei briefly narrated the events.
The general situation was similar to what Gao Changlin said, but from Yang Youwei’s perspective, the period of Li Kuirong and others’ misdeeds was described more clearly.
Yang Mei, listening to her father’s account, couldn’t help but think of people like Liu Erlong.
Undoubtedly, Li Kuirong and those people were the same type of individuals as Liu Erlong.
She once again felt thankful, truly lucky to have met Liang Yuan at the beginning of the great flood.
Otherwise, the consequences were really unimaginable.
"So you’re living in Yangshan now?" Yang Youwei asked.
Yang Mei nodded: "Yes, after we left Meidu Garden, we had a hard time reaching Yangshan and went through some hardships, but we finally settled down in Yangshan."
"What’s the situation in Yangshan? Is it dangerous over there?"
Yang Youwei quickly asked and then said: "If it’s too dangerous over there, you should stay in Meishan. Here in Meishan, only Yunquan Temple and Jieshi Academy are considered large forces."
"Now that Liang Yuan is so powerful, he has already dealt with Li Kuirong and those people. Li Xiangyang is certainly no match for him. If he stays in Meishan, he will definitely be able to take care of you."
"As the saying goes, it’s better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. If there are still enemies in Yangshan, it would be better to stay in Meishan."
Yang Mei quickly responded: "Dad, you’ve misunderstood. There are no enemies in Yangshan anymore. Liang Yuan has now established a shelter in Yangshan, and all the survivors in Yangshan are under his management, working for him."
"We’ve already rooted ourselves in Yangshan, and the shelter over there is quite large."
Yang Youwei’s eyes widened instantly, somewhat shocked: "He... he established a shelter in Yangshan?"
"Yes, Dad, Liang Yuan is really powerful. The shelter we established in Yangshan is excellent and even has generators for electricity. Moreover, there are supermarkets, no worries about food and drink, and patrols guarding the mountains daily. It’s very safe."
