The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1700 Parents' dedication is selfless support!
In the blink of an eye, spring has turned to autumn, and four years have passed.

Zhang Cheng, now a young man, is helping with fishing on the boat.

As they disembarked from the fishing boat, shouts of "Oppa, Oppa!" echoed from afar.

Seeing the figure waving happily, Zhang Cheng also greeted her with a smile: "Yo, Ai Chun!"

"Brother Zhang Cheng!"

Looking respectfully at Zhang Cheng, Liang Kuanzhi remained as honest and unassuming as ever.

Looking at the young men before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile and ask, "What brings you here today?"

"Omar said he caught abalone today and is planning to treat you to dinner!"

Looking happily at Zhang Cheng, Wu Aichun then began to explain.
Upon hearing Wu Aichun's words, Zhang Cheng frowned and said, "Isn't Auntie's health not good this year? Why is she going back to the sex industry? Doesn't she know her own condition?"

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Wu Aichun's previously happy smile faded, and she fell silent.
Seeing her expression, Zhang Cheng immediately said, "Alright, this has nothing to do with you. I'll go over tonight!"

"Okay, Oppa!"

Seeing Zhang Cheng say this, Wu Aichun also laughed.
Because every time Zhang Cheng came to her house for dinner, she always managed to eat a little better.

However, she really enjoys eating at Zhang Cheng's house, since no one will bother her there. Unfortunately, her mother always forbids it, feeling that she is too much of a burden to her oppa!
Back at his fish market stall, Fu Shangji, now in his early twenties, was yawning listlessly.

Seeing Fu Shangji's appearance, Fu Lizhong stepped forward and slapped him on the head, saying, "Hey, you little bastard, I told you to mind the shop, what are you doing?"

Having been suddenly slapped, Fu Shangji immediately turned his head angrily, but upon seeing his father, he immediately shrank back and said, "Wasn't I watching? But no guests are coming!"

Faced with his son's explanation, Li Zhong immediately slapped him and said, "Look at you like this, who would come to buy fish! Laugh, you brat!"

Seeing that his father was about to strike again, Fu Shangji gave a wronged smile.
Watching the interaction between the father and son, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but grin, because this kind of interaction between the husband and son really happens every day!
"Go help bring the fish in, you brat! All you do all day is play!"

After kicking his son, Li Zhong's face was full of disgust.
If his son were half as worry-free as Zhang Cheng, why would he have to go out to sea with the ship every day?

Feeling wronged, he ran off to move things. Fu Shangji didn't say anything, after all, he knew that if he dared to talk back, his father would dare to beat him up!

After finishing his day's work, Zhang Cheng carried some rare seafood to Wu Aichun's house.

However, just as Zhang Cheng walked in, he saw Quan Guangli looking at him with a big smile and saying, "Oh, Zhang Cheng is here! Come here quickly, come here quickly!"

"Auntie, is that you?"

Looking at Quan Guangli with a puzzled expression, Zhang Cheng's face showed a hint of astonishment.
Because he could tell that Quan Guangli seemed to have little time left!

Four years ago, she had warned Quan Guangli that her illness required rest and she should not overexert herself. Why didn't Quan listen?

Holding Zhang Cheng's hand, Quan Guangli smiled and said, "Thank you, child. Auntie is already very happy to see Ai Chun for another four years!"

Upon hearing Quan Guangli's words, Zhang Cheng fell silent.
Yes, he said it so easily, but how could Quan Guangli's family have survived if it weren't for her all-out efforts?
Thinking of Quan Guangli, who was willing to burn his life for his daughter, Zhang Cheng sat silently beside her and said, "If you still want to say the same thing as four years ago, then I will tell you that I will definitely protect her!"

Seeing that Zhang Cheng had already guessed his thoughts before he even spoke, Quan Guangli pursed his lips and said, "You're such a good kid!"

"I should be thanking you!" Zhang Cheng said with a smile to Quan Guangli, "Aichun is coming back, don't cry!"

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Quan Guangli immediately wiped his eyes and said, "Okay, don't cry, don't cry!"

At the family dinner, Jeon Kwang-rye served food to everyone in the family.

Young Wu Aichun didn't understand why her mother was being so kind today, but she ate very happily.
However, sitting at the table, Zhang Cheng understood everything.
Because birth, aging, sickness, and death are inherently unsolvable problems.

After soothing his daughter to sleep, Quan Guangli covered the other children with light blankets.

Bathed in the bright moonlight, Quan Guangli walked into the courtyard and took out his savings book from over the years, saying, "Back then, when I was being treated, I spent 1.32 million."

As Quan Guangli was explaining in detail, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "Did you already know you were hopeless? That's why you've been desperately saving money for four years?"

Ignoring Zhang Cheng's words, Quan Guangli handed the bankbook to Zhang Cheng and said, "I don't want to leave still owing you so much money!"

Actually, you

Looking at Quan Guangli, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but become serious.
But before he could finish speaking, Quan Guangli interrupted, "Aichun wants to go to university in the future, and I can't be a burden to her! I can't be a trouble for the children!"

Silently staring at Quan Guangli, Zhang Cheng froze on the spot.
Quan Guangli certainly wanted to live, but if she chose treatment, her already impoverished family would face even greater hardship.
It was only by sheer luck that Quan Guangli survived for another four years; he had already given it his all.

"If I'm gone, please take good care of her. If she's hungry, please give her a bowl of rice."

Looking at Zhang Cheng, who was now almost taller than him, Quan Guangli tearfully gave him his instructions.
Having witnessed countless deaths and separations, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but take a deep breath and say, "I will!"

"Thank you, child!"

Patting Zhang Cheng on the shoulder, Quan Guangli smiled and said, "Your mother will surely be happy to see how successful you have become!"

When Quan Guangli mentioned his mother, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but laugh and say, "Yes, they must be doing well in heaven!"

The following morning, Jeon Kwang-rye, dressed anew, visited his friends and acquaintances.
This also included her mother-in-law, Jin Chunyu, who recounted her story.
Facing her daughter-in-law, Jin Chunyu appeared exceptionally heartbroken.

After all, even though she loved her youngest son, she knew he was a good-for-nothing.
After telling her mother-in-law that she would ask her to help her daughter once in the future, Quan Guangli suddenly felt that she did not want to die, because she had not yet seen her daughter go to university, nor had she seen her get married and have children.
Under the fluttering white shroud, the funeral began.

As a visitor, Zhang Cheng looked at Quan Guangli's portrait, in which he was smiling so happily, and couldn't help but bow in respect.
"Oppa, Oppa's gone, Oppa."

With red, swollen eyes from crying, Wu Aichun looked at Zhang Cheng, her face streaked with tears of sorrow.

Comforting Wu Aichun, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Auntie has just gone to heaven. She will watch you grow up!"

When Zhang Cheng spoke to Wu Aichun, he patted her small shoulder.

Because she knew that it would be her turn to take care of this poor girl from now on.
Just like how Jeon Kwang-rye and those female divers took care of him when he was hungry,
"woo woo woo woo!"

Holding Zhang Cheng and weeping bitterly, Wu Aichun couldn't help but break down in tears.
Standing to the side, Liang Kuanzhi didn't know how to go forward to comfort him, and could only clutch the hem of his clothes.

After entertaining everyone, Zhang Cheng accompanied Wu Aichun's stepfather as they carried Quan Guangli up the mountain.
The scenery here is beautiful, with a view of the sea not far away.
