Fang Jingyao has been having a blast ever since he returned to his hometown.

One minute they'd go up the mountain to pick peaches, the next they'd go to the river to fish, and then they'd go to the stream to eat chilled fruit.

Wen Yixing was naturally worried about him and often went out with him, which caused her daily WeChat step count to skyrocket, and she slept very soundly every night.

Life in her hometown isn't as fast-paced as in the city, and Wen Yixing feels very relaxed there.

Now that it's peach season, Wen Yixing and Fang Jingyao get up early every morning to help pick peaches.

The fruit from her hometown is especially sweet. Wen Yixing packed up fresh peaches and sent a box to Shengxia, as well as some to her colleagues.

Fang Jingyao was also present when the package was being delivered.

He looked at it, then looked up at Wen Yixing and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to send it to Uncle Chen?"

Wen Yixing didn't even look up, but simply said softly, "No need."

Fang Jingyao responded blankly, "Oh."

Okay, case solved.

No wonder his mother was in a bad mood before; now I know the reason.

However, he was unsure how to get involved in adult matters.

Although Shen Jingshao was rich, he treated his mother well.

However, the Shen family has complicated relationships, and his mother's marriage into the family inevitably led to gossip and rumors.

Fang Jingyao always felt that Shen Jingshao was a good person, but not necessarily a good match for his mother.

Wen Yixing's mood has calmed down considerably during her three days at her hometown.

She is no longer the kind of person who would give up herself for a man; she has become more rational.

In the past few days, Shen Jingshao has not sent her any more messages.

Wen Yixing's daily life is very fulfilling, and she rarely thinks about him.

Life goes on. Since it's not a good match, perhaps separating sooner is the best outcome for both of them.

After a few quiet days, the neighbors all knew that Wen Yixing had returned, since Fang Jingyao went out to play every day.

Wen Yixing used to be a celebrity here, mainly because she was good at studying, got into a top university, and later found a wealthy partner. Few people in the neighborhood didn't envy Wen Yixing's good fortune.

Knowing that she was back, Wen Yixing's aunts, uncles, and all sorts of relatives came to her house to drink tea and chat.

He said he was just visiting, but actually he wanted to curry favor with Wen Yixing.

After all, her family is quite wealthy; her husband owns a company and also has a large villa in Beijing.

Some people are quite direct and told Wen Yixing directly that they wanted her husband to arrange a job for their son.

Wen Yixing didn't hide anything and told everyone directly about her divorce.

As a result, within half a day, everyone in the neighborhood knew that Wen Yixing had gotten divorced.

There were still quite a few people coming over at noon, but this time most of them were there to find Wen Yixing in-laws.

At first, Fang Jingyao was just watching the excitement, but later he got really annoyed.

He could tolerate being introduced to few good men, but what was outrageous was that someone even introduced a cripple to his mother. Fang Jingyao was furious at that moment.

The matchmaker was Fang Jingyao's second great-aunt and Wen Yixing's second cousin.

Seeing that his second great-aunt was still praising the cripple, Fang Jingyao couldn't stand it anymore. He snorted coldly, "I think my mother is fine on her own."

"What do you know? When people get old, they still need a companion. I think that young man is quite good. Yixing, you should think it over carefully. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"If you think it's a good idea, you can let your daughter marry him," Fang Jingyao said coldly.

Fang Jingyao rolled his eyes. "This guy has no education, no looks, no health, and he doesn't earn as much money as my mother. What's so good about him? What makes him worthy of my mother?"

If it weren't for the need to maintain some semblance of good manners, Fang Jingyao would have loved to spit out a curse.

"Hey, how can you talk to your elders like that?"

Fang Jingyao completely ignored his second great-aunt, took Wen Yixing's hand, and said earnestly, "Mom, don't be afraid. When you get old, I'll be there for you!"

Wen Yixing smiled and patted her son's head, then looked at her second cousin, whose face was pale with anger, and said gently, "The child is still young and doesn't understand. Please don't mind him."

After saying this, my second cousin was in a state of utter turmoil.

The child is indeed still young and doesn't understand, so she can't argue with a child.

Before she could even finish her tea, my second cousin stormed off in anger.

Fang Jingyao was still a little angry, and from an angle where Wen Yixing couldn't see him, he spat a few times at the door.

What bad luck.

After seeing the guests off, Wen Yixing returned to find her son sitting there looking sullen.

Unable to bear seeing her son unhappy, Wen Yixing asked softly, "Yaoyao, do you want to go play in the mountains?"

At this time, Wen Jianguo was picking peaches on the mountain. It was too hot outside, so he couldn't bear to let his daughter and grandson go over.

Fang Jingyao couldn't stay at home. When Wen Yixing asked, he immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Wen Yixing applied sunscreen to him, helped him get dressed, and the two of them carried the basket up the mountain.

The temperature on the mountain is actually cooler than down below, and there are also very clear streams here.

Fang Jingyao really enjoys coming to the mountain to play.

At this time, many uncles and aunts were busy. Wen Yixing took Fang Jingyao to Wen Jianguo.

Her colleague just messaged her saying she has some work to do on the computer.

Wen Yixing gave Fang Jingyao a few instructions, telling him to listen to her.

Seeing that her son had agreed, Wen Yixing turned to go back.

The mountain path was not very smooth, and Wen Yixing accidentally tripped over a stone. She thought it was nothing, but her foot hurt more and more as she walked.
