Chapter 1048: A Reminder

Ge Pozi thought that since the fourth son of the Fu family had already married, the Fu family would surely start looking for a match for the little girl next; her own foolish grandson had been longing for her for ages, but that boy only had the desire without the courage, truly a cause for worry.

Fu's mother glanced into the courtyard and smiled, saying, "Nowadays free love is the norm; we don't wish to interfere too much in her affairs. When she has someone she favors, we elders will just help screen him."

Hearing this, Ge Pozi's heart gave a thump; could it be that the girl Xiao Wan had already started a relationship?

She wanted to say more, but heard Fu's mother say, "Auntie Zhang, it's getting late; I must go back to help make breakfast. The first breakfast for the new daughter-in-law cannot be taken lightly."

Ge Pozi could only respond with a sound and returned home dejectedly.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw her eldest grandson standing there and said crossly, "If you like someone, go chase her openly; how can you win a wife just by imagining things here? You heard what Xiao Wan's mother just said; I suspect that girl Xiao Wan has already started a relationship."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongchang's face changed drastically: "No, that can't be. Before, I even heard Aunt Fu tell her not to find a partner on the farm, but to wait until her fourth brother married so the family could arrange a match for her."

Ge Pozi said in frustration, "Didn't you hear what Xiao Wan's mother just said? Free love is now advocated. You good-for-nothing; by the time you figure it out, it'll be too late."

Zhang Hongchang nervously swallowed: "Grandma, what should we do?"

Ge Pozi took a deep breath: "What should we do? What do you think we should do? Naturally, we must let Xiao Wan know your feelings. You really are a blockhead."

The conversation between the grandmother and grandson was overheard perfectly by Liu Chuxue, who had come out to find a broom and dustpan; she looked at Seeing Fu Yanwan, who was teasing her little niece in front of the main house, and thought: It's already too late; barring any unexpected events, that girl is already spoken for.

Seeing Fu Yanwan looked up and saw her fourth sister-in-law staring at her: "Fourth sister-in-law, why are you looking at me?"

Their relationship was now as close as best friends; Liu Chuxue glanced at the neighboring courtyard and beckoned to Seeing Fu Yanwan: "Come into my room with me; I have something to tell you."

Seeing Fu Yanwan patted her little niece's head: "You two play by yourselves."

Saying this, she stood up and went into her fourth brother's room.

After Liu Chuxue entered, she handed the broom and dustpan in her hands to Fu Yan Cheng, then pulled Seeing Fu Yanwan over to the wooden single sofa: "I'm going to ask a question I shouldn't, but as your sister-in-law, I still want to give you a reminder."

Seeing Fu Yanwan looked puzzled: "What question? What reminder?"

Liu Chuxue saw Fu Yan Cheng finish sweeping and go out to take out the trash, then whispered: "Are you close with the Zhang family next door?"

Seeing Fu Yanwan glanced over there: "What's wrong? Did they say something unpleasant?"

Liu Chuxue thought for a moment and simply recounted the conversation she had just heard: "That's the situation. I didn't mean to eavesdrop; I just happened to go over to get the dustpan and heard it. I'm giving you a reminder; if you don't have those feelings yourself, it's better to have less contact with them in the future."

Seeing Fu Yanwan hadn't expected her fourth sister-in-law to have such good hearing, able to hear the Zhang family's conversation even through the makeshift shed.

Only now did she understand why Grandma Zhang had been so enthusiastic every time; thinking of Zhang Hongchang, he must have concealed his intentions well, as she hadn't realized before that he had any designs on her.

But now, thinking carefully, it did seem a bit different: "Fourth sister-in-law, thank you for the reminder; I'll be more cautious from now on."

Only then did Liu Chuxue ask quietly: "How are things between you and Ren Jiangfeng now?"
