Chapter 301
Seeing Chen Kang like this, Chen Guifeng didn't know what to say and left Chen Kang's room.
A few days later, when Ye Fuyue went to Xiangyang Furniture Factory to discuss the furniture design draft with Director Cai, Cai Chunxing pulled Ye Fuyue aside.
"Did you eat the dried meat slices I asked Chen Kang to bring you last time? Was it delicious?"
Ye Fuyue looked at her with a smile: "Do you want to ask me if it tastes good, or do you want to ask if Chen Kang has eaten it?"
Cai Chunxing's cheeks flushed a little, and he glared at her: "You are the smartest one."
After Cai Chun woke up after joking, Ye Fuyue said truthfully: "I ate it, it was quite delicious, but Shen Kang didn't eat it."
Cai Chunxing said "Oh" with a little disappointment.
Seeing this, Ye Fuyue said, “My mother-in-law knows about you and Shen Kang, and asked Shen Kang what he thinks of you.”
Cai Chunxing became excited, staring at Ye Fuyue with burning eyes: "What did Shen Kang say?"
"He said he doesn't have any feelings for you, and he has no plans to date or get married in the next one or two years." Ye Fuyue explained everything.
The expression on Cai Chunxing's face disappeared, and he looked a little dazed.
Although she had already figured out this information from Chen Kang's attitude towards her, Cai Chunxing couldn't help but feel lost and disappointed when she heard Ye Fuyue say this in person.
"Chun Xing, this is originally a private matter between you and Shen Kang, and I can't say much. However, I told you this because I consider you a friend. I don't think Shen Kang is lying, and he may really have no plans to get married in the next one or two years. You have to think it over carefully." Ye Fuyue said seriously.
It was precisely because Ye Fuyue and Cai Chunxing were getting closer and closer, and she found that Cai Chunxing was a good person, that she was willing to tell Cai Chunxing these things.
Cai Chunxing nodded with a complicated expression and asked, "Why hasn't Chen Kang planned to get married in the past year or two? Is it because he still can't forget his previous partner?"
"I'm not sure about this, but I guess one of the reasons is that Chen Kang just came back from the countryside and took over my mother-in-law's job less than a year ago. His salary is not that high. He wants to save more money before considering getting married." Ye Fuyue said.
"I understand. I will think about it carefully." Cai Chunxing said.
But what Ye Fuyue didn't expect was that when Cai Chunxing said to think about it carefully, he meant to let the matchmaker come directly to her house to tell her that she and Shen Kang were dating.
When the matchmaker came to the door with a smile on her face, not only Ye Fuyue was stunned, but Chen Guifeng and Shen Kang were also stunned.
After the matchmaker kindly explained the purpose of her visit and the Cai family's financial situation, she said, "The Cai family, like yours, has three children, and this daughter is extremely precious to them. Chunxing has also explained Shen Kang's situation to her family, and they are quite satisfied with him. I think Chunxing is truly interested in Shen Kang, but I'm not sure what Shen Kang and your family are thinking."
Chen Guifeng said, "I've heard Chen Kang and my daughter-in-law talk about Chunxing. Although I've never met Chunxing, I have a good impression of her. I really hope the two children can get along. But in matters like this, we as parents don't have the final say. It all depends on what the two children want."
Shen Kang said: "I have told Comrade Cai many times what I mean. I have no plans to get married in the next one or two years."
Chen Guifeng didn't expect Shen Kang to refuse so bluntly. After all, Cai Chunxing had already taken the initiative, and she thought Shen Kang would more or less reconsider his relationship with Cai Chunxing.
The matchmaker didn't expect Chen Kang to refuse so decisively. She asked, "I see you're not too young, and you've been to the countryside before. You've wasted so many years there, it's time to talk about marriage. Why haven't you planned to get married in the last one or two years?"
Shen Kang said: "The reason I was able to return to the city is because I took over my mother's job. I don't have much money now, and I want to save some money before considering other things."
"It doesn't cost much to get married! The betrothal gift is not just your responsibility, it's also your mother's. After you get married, both of you will be formal employees with jobs, and you won't have to worry about your life at all." said the matchmaker.
Shen Kang groaned: "I'm not considering getting married for the time being."
"If you don't want to get married, you can still date each other first." The matchmaker said, taking a step back. "You've been dating for a year or two. Now that you have the money ready, you two can get married."
"I don't want to drag down Comrade Cai and waste Comrade Cai's time. What if I still don't want to get married after a year, then I will have delayed Comrade Cai." Shen Kang said.
The matchmaker tried to persuade him for a long time, but Shen Kang insisted on his decision. Finally, the matchmaker had to leave in disappointment.
After sending the matchmaker away, Chen Guifeng went to Shen Kang's house to find him.
When Chen Kang repeatedly rejected the matchmaker, Chen Guifeng wanted to tell him off. But considering that she had to give Chen Kang some face in front of outsiders, Chen Guifeng suppressed her unhappiness.
Now that no one was around, Chen Guifeng asked Chen Kang directly, "Tell me the truth. Is it because of Zhu Zhiqing that you don't agree to be with Comrade Cai? Are you still in contact with Zhu Zhiqing?"
"Mom, I broke up with Zhu Zhiqing a long time ago. I haven't contacted her since she came to see me for the last time." Shen Kang said.
Chen Guifeng looked at Chen Kang and felt relieved when she saw that he didn't seem to be lying.
She was afraid that Chen Kang was unwilling to date other women because of Zhu Qiaoting and he couldn't forget Zhu Qiaoting.
"Why don't you agree to date Comrade Cai? Are you still unable to forget Zhu Zhiqing?" Chen Guifeng asked again.
“It has nothing to do with Zhu Zhiqing. I have no other thoughts about Comrade Cai. Besides, I don’t have much money saved now, and I don’t want to consider personal problems yet.” Shen Kang said.
"Chen Kang, you are not young anymore. If you meet a reliable partner and don't have money to get married, I have money. Just like the matchmaker said, you both have formal jobs, and your life will not be that hard. I can pay for your wedding." Chen Guifeng said.
"How can I let you pay for all the money for my wedding?"
"Mom gave you the job because I had prepared the money for you and your second brother's wedding. Your marriage is not just your business, it involves the family's money, so of course Mom has to prepare money for you." Chen Guifeng said.
"Mom, I really don't want to get married for the time being, so you can keep the money for now." Shen Kang said.
Seeing that no matter what she said, she couldn't make Shen Kang change his mind, Chen Guifeng could only sigh secretly and stop talking.
Ye Fuyue, who was sitting outside and heard the conversation between Chen Guifeng and Shen Kang, thought: I wonder if Cai Chunxing will think it through completely this time.
…
As February approached and the Spring Festival drew closer, Yao Yi's life at the Ma family became increasingly difficult.
In a blink of an eye, Yao Yi and Ma Yong had been married for half a year, but Yao Yi's belly was still not moving, so Ma Yong and his mother and father began to dislike Yao Yi.
