Chapter 394: Such a Good Three-Win Opportunity, Gone

When Madam Fu arrived at the big courtyard, Xiao Laoyezi Fu was tending to his flowers and plants in the yard: "Dad, has your cough gotten any better?"

Xiao Laoyezi Fu pointed to the stool beside him, motioning for her to sit: "Much better. How did things go?"

Madam Fu smiled: "Although our family is from the countryside, the Miss is a frank and straightforward one, and her parents are both reasonable people. The most important thing is that our Yan Cheng likes the Miss."

The old master set down the watering can in his hands: "Has the date for the engagement been set?"

No sooner had he finished asking than he started coughing.

Madam Fu quickly stood up and hurried to pat his back, but was stopped by the old master: "It's nothing, no need to pat."

Fortunately, he only coughed a few times before it stopped.

Madam Fu carried the vegetables and fruits she had brought over to the table, took out a tomato from inside, and rinsed it under the nearby faucet: "This was brought back from the Liu family. The taste is really special, try it."

But the moment she handed it over, she regretted it—after all, her Eunuch had just been coughing a moment ago.

She was about to take it back, but the old master had already taken it and brought it to his mouth to bite into.

She had no choice but to get up and go back to the room first, pour out a cup of boiled water and have it ready.

When she came out, the old master looked up: "This tomato really tastes excellent. I feel like my throat is a lot more comfortable."

Madam Fu was somewhat doubtful: You're exaggerating way too much.

Still, she didn't talk back to the old master: "I brought quite a lot over. If it's really like that, then I'll leave all of these for you."

The old master laughed: "How can such a good thing be enjoyed by me alone? Leave the rest for them, let everyone have a taste."

After a tomato went down in a few bites, the old master's face was full of unfinished longing.

Madam Fu was about to get him another one, but was stopped by the old master: "No need."

After saying that, he picked up the water Madam Fu had poured earlier and drank: "So, how is the engagement being arranged?"

They had called the old master when they got back: "On the day of the proposal, Yan Cheng explained your situation to Chuxue, and also said that you would definitely be present for the engagement. I was thinking that if Big Brother and his wife have time that day, it would be best if they went along too."

"Alright, I'll talk to them about this."

While they were chatting, the eldest aunt of the Fu family walked in from outside: "Oh, sister-in-law, you're here?"

"Sister-in-law, I came over to tell you about Yan Cheng's engagement."

As soon as the eldest aunt of the Fu family walked closer, she spotted the things on the table: "Where did these come from?"

Just as she finished asking, she realized something and pointed at those things: "These wouldn't happen to be what you brought back from the countryside, would they?"

Madam Fu didn't feel the slightest bit awkward: "Yes, they were brought back from Yan Cheng's girlfriend's family. The taste is excellent."

The eldest aunt of the Fu family burst out laughing: "You really are... well, as long as you all like it."

The old master shot a glare over, and the eldest aunt of the Fu family immediately changed her tune: "Anyway, it's Yan Cheng's life to live. As long as he likes it, that's fine. It's just best if he could have a job, so her household registration could be transferred to the city, and having a ration would save a lot of trouble."

Madam Fu didn't think there was anything wrong with that: "Then please keep an eye out, sister-in-law. If there's a suitable job, remember to let me know."

The eldest aunt of the Fu family fell silent at this. If there really were a suitable job, she would definitely bring her own daughter back first.

She couldn't help but think of the Lady of the Qi family's earlier suggestion, and couldn't help sighing inwardly. It wasn't that she was selling out her nephew, but the meaning behind Lady Qi's words back then was—if Fu Yan Cheng ended up with her younger daughter, she would definitely transfer her own Yanjing back from the farm. Such a good three-win opportunity, gone.
