Chapter 82 I Like Her

There was silence in the car.

Qin Fang looked up at the rearview mirror and met Ruan Fu's smiling eyes in the back seat.

My originally restless heart suddenly calmed down.

Yes, Afu likes Tiantian so much, so what am I worried about?

"Uncle, I have a daughter who is in the hospital, so Afu has been running to the hospital all the time recently."

Daughter?

Chen Qiang widened his eyes. After all this time, it turned out that this guy was not a bachelor.

Maybe they haven't divorced yet.

This won't do. Fu Zi is a pure and innocent girl. How can she become someone's stepmother?

The more Chen Qiang thought about it, the more depressed he became. His previous enthusiasm suddenly disappeared, and he frowned and remained silent.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Ruan Fu smiled and said, "Uncle, I think Tiantian is very likable."

Chen Qiang didn't say anything. His niece had not seen much of the world and was not very smart, so she was the easiest to be deceived.

Being a stepmother is so difficult. Not to mention anything else, if the ex-wife comes looking for you one day, it will definitely cause chaos.

No, this is absolutely not possible! The more Chen Qiang thought about it, the more trouble he felt.

I have to get to the bottom of this today. I can't just watch my niece jump into the fire.

He said in a serious tone, "Young man, tell me the truth. If you have a child, why are you so close to our Fuzi? Are you trying to be a hooligan?"

Qin Fang's heart skipped a beat.

This is a big misunderstanding. If it is not resolved in time, it will cause big trouble later.

I quickly explained: "Uncle, actually I have never been married."

It's easy to say the wrong thing when you're anxious.

Chen Qiang's face turned even uglier when he heard this. "How bold!" he asked. "Having a child before getting married? Doesn't that mean it's an illegitimate child?" This was even more disastrous.

The car stopped right in front of the courtyard gate. Chen Qiang didn't give the other party any face at all and immediately opened the door and got out of the car.

"Qin Fang, remember to bring the watermelon..."

Before Ruan Fu could finish her words, her uncle called for help from a distance.

"Fuzi, what are you doing in someone else's car? Get out now."

Qin Fang felt helpless, he knew things would turn out like this.

But if he wants to take his relationship with Afu a step further, he will have to face these problems sooner or later.

Ruan Fu saw his frustration and said gently, "Don't take it to heart. Uncle is just like that. He's tough on the outside but soft on the inside. If he sees Tiantian, he'll like her more than I do."

Afu's voice was sweet, like a warm spring breeze, sweeping away Qin Fang's depression. "Don't worry, I'm determined to pursue my wife, and I won't back down because of this setback."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ruan Fu's cheeks flushed and she hurriedly got out of the car. "I'll go back and cook first. You follow me in."

Chen Qiang was pulling Xie Dongmei and muttering in the yard.

Seeing Ruan Fu and Qin Fang enter the room one after another, Xie Dongmei stood up with the help of a cane.

"Grandma," Ruan Fu ran over quickly, "Look what you bought, lamb chops, pork belly. I'll make something delicious for you today."

Xie Dongmei smiled from ear to ear and said "OK" several times in a row.

Then he turned his gaze to Qin Fang behind him, "Comrade, won't you introduce yourself?"

Qin Fang didn't act coy. He came forward carrying two large watermelons and called out politely, "Hello, Grandma."

Chen Qiang understood at once. The young man first called him uncle, and now he even called him grandmother.

It seems that he is determined to win and does not hide his wolfish ambition at all.

Xie Dongmei smiled and said, "Hello."

Qin Fang was encouraged by the other party's attitude and continued, "My name is Qin Fang. I often heard Afu talk about you guys before, and I have always wanted to come and see you. I happen to be free today. Grandma, you won't think I'm abrupt, right?"

Ruan Fu widened her eyes. This man was too... shameless.

The relationships between men and women in this era are quite conservative. After all, the crackdown is no joke, and everyone is afraid of being arrested as a hooligan.

I didn't expect Qin Fang to be so bold. He called my uncle and grandmother the first time we met. He really treats me as his own family.

After all, Xie Dongmei has lived for most of her life and has a steady personality.

Facing Qin Fang who was obviously trying to get close to him, he did not show any displeasure.

"Anyone who comes is a guest. Since you are Fuzi's friend, you are welcome in our home."

The awkwardness was resolved with just a few words.

"Mom," Chen Qiang hurriedly pulled the old lady's clothes, signaling her not to be too nice to this brat.

Xie Dongmei glanced at him and frowned, "Qiangzi, is this how I usually teach you to entertain guests?"

Chen Qiang suddenly felt like an eggplant hit by frost. He didn't dare to say anything more. After a long while, he hummed a welcome.

It seemed that grandma was more tolerant than she had imagined. Ruan Fu felt relieved. "You guys chat first. I'll go cook."

She trotted away.

Xie Dongmei then turned to the person in front of her, changing her gentle tone and speaking in a serious tone, "Young man, come in with me, I have something to ask you."

Qin Fang naturally did not dare to neglect the elders' words and hurriedly followed.

The two men walked into the main room and sat down.

Xie Dongmei stared at the person in front of her and suddenly asked, "Do you like Fuzi?"

Qin Fang didn't expect the other party to ask so directly, but he didn't want to lie, so he nodded and said, "Yes."

A hint of surprise flashed in Xie Dongmei's eyes, as if she didn't expect the other party to admit it directly.

After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Are you serious about wanting to date Fuzi?"

It's useless to ask this question. If he is not serious, will he come to my house on his own initiative?

Qin Fang said seriously, "Grandma, any relationship that is not aimed at marriage is just a hooligan. I like Afu, so I also want to get the consent of her family. That's why I came here today."

Xie Dongmei was an experienced old woman, so she could see the other party's sincerity. She smiled and said, "In that case, tell me first, what's the story behind that child named Tiantian?"

Qin Fang didn't expect the other party to ask the key question so quickly. He hesitated and said, "Grandma, Afu always thought Tiantian was my child, but that's not the case. Tiantian is a very pitiful child. To protect her, I can't reveal the specific details, but my feelings for Afu are true. I've decided to be with her in this life."

Xie Dongmei seemed to have anticipated this answer and asked, "Will what you said hurt Fuzi in the future?"

Qin Fang thought about it seriously and said, "Grandma, I promise you that I will do my best to protect Afu and prevent her from getting hurt."

Xie Dongmei was obviously very satisfied with this answer. "That's good. I've always wanted to meet you. Fuzi has had a rough life, but she is kind and grateful. As long as someone is kind to her, she will repay them double. I hope you remember what I said today and don't let her get hurt."

Qin Fang didn't expect the old lady in front of him to be so understanding. He nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, grandma."

…

Ruan Fu was busy in the kitchen.

The stove fire was burning brightly, and the smoke made people's faces red.

She worked efficiently. She skimmed the blood off the lamb chops and put them on a low fire to simmer. Then she hurriedly chopped up the sauerkraut stuffing and prepared to make dumplings with bread.

Her uncle Chen Qiang came over and muttered something, and she then realized that Qin Fang had been called in by the old lady, and she didn't know what the two of them were talking about.

Ruan Fu wanted to go in and listen several times, but in the end she suppressed her curiosity. Her grandmother had her reasons for doing things, and she would naturally tell her when necessary.

I just concentrated on making dumplings.

The refreshing and crispy sauerkraut is cut into shreds, mixed with pork belly filling, and then wrapped in small dough. It is white and plump, and very tempting.

After a while, the aroma of stewed lamb wafted out of the pot.

Ruan Fu opened the lid of the pot. The mutton was soft and tender, and the soup was milky white. She sprinkled some chopped green onions in and sniffed. She wondered what kind of cooking skill she had. The food she made was so delicious.

At this time, the hot sauerkraut and meat dumplings were also put into the pot. They were white and plump, and they made people's mouths water just by looking at them.

She gave a sly smile and then called out to the house, "Dinner is ready."
