Chapter 323 - “Okay, I will keep that in mind. You are a dog if you can’t follow through with it.” (2)

After Feng Zeyu had returned home, he didn’t respond even after the old lady had called out to him a few times.

“What’s the matter? Didn’t you go and help the girl next door with her planting?” The old lady looked him up and down. Was he turned down by the girl? Oh no! Was he in shock?

She had heard of stories in the past that this person had killed himself after he was turned down by a woman.

“We’ve planted some green onions and some tomatoes. She has an apartment in Nanfu Mansion and would not be here very often.” Seeing the expression on the old lady, Feng Zeyu was happy. “She should she will give it a try with me. Grandma, she said she will be my girlfriend. Hehehe……”

The old lady gave him a stare and patted herself on her chest. And here she was freaking out over it. She worried that Xiao Yu would be depressed if he was turned now. Now that the girl had accepted him, the old lady also felt that something was off.

“That is good news. You said she has an apartment at Nanfu Mansio, then she must be… fairly wealthy.” The others in the village didn’t know about it but the old lady knew it very well that Feng Zeyu had been keeping himself busy the last few years and been working outside. He had opened up some company with his buddies from the troop and had been making good money.

Feng Zeyu gave the old lady a look and, knowing what was on her mind, smiled and said to her, “She’s richer than me.”

“Richer than you?” The old lady was a little surprised.

“Mmhmm. She opened up a clothing company with a friend of hers and it is doing very well.” Feng Zeyu didn’t go into too much details but the old lady figured it out now. He was probably talking about a lot of money.

The old lady worried that the girl was after Feng Zeyu’s money if she was poor. Now that she had found out that she was wealthier than Feng Zeyu, the old lady worried whether she was serious about Feng Zeyu.

“You are 35 years old. You don’t want to wait too long now. You want to get married sooner rather than later.” The old lady felt that this next generation was very different from hers. They were always talking about free love. And they dated and they dated and then they were not dating anymore. And divorces were on the rise as well. Something about going after true love. She didn’t get it. In her mind, what was important were their time spent together.

“No rush.” He had thought that it would take a while for Shu Yan to accept him. He had considered the possibility of her not agreeing to it if her children didn’t agree. He was prepared for a long and drawn-out pursuit. He even considered the possibility that Shu Yan would not accept him until after her children had started universities. He never expected that it would have gone so smoothly. Things were great now. He didn’t want to rush it.

If he wasn’t in a hurry, it didn’t matter that the old lady was. One way or another, now that they were a couple, then the old lady needed to adjust her att.i.tude toward Shu Yan. At the very minimum, she wished that the girl would treat Xiao Yu right.

Chapter 323 - “Okay, I will keep that in mind. You are a dog if you can’t follow through with it.” (2)

After Shu Yan had locked the door and was prepared to head home, she ran into the old lady.

“You are not staying here tonight?” asked the old lady with a smile.

Shu Yan was taken aback a little. She hadn’t expected the old lady to initiate a conversation with her.

“Yes, we still have a lot to do with this place. I will bring my children over and stay for a little while when schools are out. This house is cooler than our apartment,” responded Shu Yan with a smile.

“Exactly. Young people nowadays all like apartments. I say these traditional houses are much better. You have front and backyards. It’s so s.p.a.cious.”

The old lady studied Shu Yan carefully. She was much skinnier than she saw her the previous time and her skin fairer. She had on a pink dress and sandals with heels and her hair was tied back into a pony tail. If she didn’t already know that Shu Yan already had two children, she would think that Shu Yan was still an unmarried girl.

Her looks were definitely up there. If she was to go by looks alone, then Feng Zeyu, with his scar, would be the reaching one. As for her age? Xiao Yu mentioned that she was just 26 years old and Feng Zeyu was 36. That was 10 years of difference. She was still the one with the shorter end of the stick. As for money. She had an apartment at Nanfu Mansion and she had just splurged on a 330,000-yuan house just like that. She didn’t even blink when she bought the house. And words had it that her company was doing quite well. By this standard, with the exception of the three children, Xiao Yu was the one who was reaching.*

So there was this US sitcom called “How I Met Your Mother?" a few years back. One of the famous line in the show was: “In any relations.h.i.+p, there will be a reacher and a settler.”
