It was getting dark, and the Yang Family members were returning home one after another.
Everyone was surprised to see Li Fugui at home, and they were all very happy.
They were even more surprised that Li Fugui had prepared such a feast for them, and soon everyone sat down at the table, ready to eat.
Old Man Yang was particularly cheerful and said, "Today is really a good day, I didn’t expect Fugui to come back, and also the daughter and son-in-law."
"Uncle," Li Fugui stood up, picked up the wine pot and poured a glass for Old Man Yang, then filled his own glass, "Uncle, I toast to you, to thank you for taking me in before."
"You’re family," Old Man Yang hurriedly said.
"Uncle, let me finish," Li Fugui interjected.
Seeing the serious look on Li Fugui’s face, the family fell silent, waiting for him to continue.
"Honestly, I wasn’t a good person before, you could even say I was a bad person. I’ve done many bad things. Sister-in-law knows, I once caught her. Today, Yang Ming isn’t here, so I’ll say this too—I used to look down on him a lot, always making sly remarks about him."
Li Fugui paused, then continued, "But even though I treated you all like that, you still took me in when I was most down and out without bearing a grudge. I’m truly grateful."
Li Fugui said, looking at Wang Xiangxiang, "And Miss Wang, no, I should call you sister now, we had issues before, and you might not know, but we once quarreled publicly. I insulted her, yet she still helped me without bearing a grudge."
Li Fugui then looked at Chu Lian, "And brother-in-law, our relationship was even more like enemies, you could say archenemies. That business with the cabbages was my doing, yet he still helped me, and even worked to help me take back the Li Family." Check latest chapters at N0veI.Fiɾe.net
As Li Fugui spoke, his eyes reddened, and his voice choked up, "When I left Li Family, when Xiaotian left me, I sought out people I thought I was on good terms with, but not one was willing to help me. They all shunned me, staying far away. Later, I realized that they only associated with me because I was the young master of Li Family. But you all weren’t like that; you genuinely cared about me."
After saying all this, Li Fugui drank the entire glass of wine in his hand, "Today, I, Li Fugui, make a statement here—I will never let you all down again. If I do, I am at your mercy."
Li Fugui’s words were sincere, and everyone present was moved. Old Man Yang, visibly excited, waved his hands, indicating Li Fugui to sit down, "Son, you’re taking it too seriously. Who hasn’t hit a rough patch? Fortunately, that’s all behind us now. From now on, we are all family. Alright, let’s eat, let’s taste Fugui’s cooking."
"Exactly. Fugui has been cooking all afternoon, and so has Chu Lian, our son-in-law. They prepared this whole table together," Yang Ming’s mother added.
Chu Lian, feeling shy, said, "It was all Li Fugui; I just assisted."
"Let’s eat now, you all have been thoughtful. In my old age, I get to enjoy some peace," Old Man Yang called everyone to start eating.
"Alright," the family agreed and began to eat.
The feast prepared by Li Fugui was sumptuous, and everyone nodded continuously, singing his praises.
