Chapter 406
As soon as Peng's mother finished speaking, several aunts turned their eyes to Da Biao.
Before, everyone just thought that Da Biao and Ye Fuyun looked a bit similar, and no one paid special attention to whether Da Biao and Wu Longfei looked alike. Now, after hearing what Peng's mother said, everyone looked at Da Biao carefully and found that he really did not look like Wu Longfei at all.
Zhou Jinmei looked very ugly.
She had noticed a long time ago that Da Biao and Wu Longfei looked nothing alike, but because Da Biao's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Ye Fuyun, she didn't think much about it.
Now that she was pointed out by Peng's mother, Zhou Jinmei felt embarrassed and a little strange.
She glared at Peng's mother in annoyance and said, "Haven't you heard that most sons look like their mothers? Our Da Biao looks like his mother!"
Peng's mother laughed and said, "Which child doesn't look like their mother? After all, they all came from their mother's belly."
What Peng's mother said was very meaningful. The aunts present were not stupid and they all understood the deep meaning of Peng's mother's words.
Zhou Jinmei is no exception.
Zhou Jinmei angrily shouted at Peng's mother, "What do you mean? Your own son can't even find a wife, and you're complaining about it! How can you complain about my eldest grandson?!"
Mother Peng was not annoyed at all. She continued to smile and said, "I didn't mean anything. I just didn't think he looked like Long Fei. I told him the truth. Don't take it to heart."
After a pause, Peng's mother pretended to sigh and said, "It's all my fault. I can't speak well and I've upset everyone. I'd better leave."
After saying this, Peng's mother left with a sigh.
Zhou Jinmei glared at Peng's mother's back, still furious. "If you can't speak, don't speak. It's better not to have a mouth. No wonder your son still hasn't found a wife!"
It was not known whether Peng's mother heard what Zhou Jinmei said or not. In any case, Peng's mother walked away without paying any attention to Zhou Jinmei.
Zhou Jinmei's anger was unbearable. She asked her aunt Yue and the others, "Who is her son?"
Aunt Yue was surprised and said, "I thought you knew her son, that's why you said that he still can't find a wife."
Zhou Jinmei said impatiently, "I only said that because she herself said her son doesn't go on blind dates."
Aunt Yue understood and said, "Her son is Peng Jianxiang, the widower from the First Furniture Factory's residential compound next door. About two or three years ago, his daughter-in-law died of illness and didn't give birth to a child. Even now, her son is still unmarried."
When Zhou Jinmei mentioned the widower in the family compound next door, she had an impression of him.
"It turns out that the widower is her son." Zhou Jinmei said.
"Do you know her son?" asked Aunt Yue.
"I know. Her son used to come to our compound from time to time, but I don't know what he came for." Zhou Jinmei said.
"I've seen her son come to our compound a few times," said another aunt.
"Why haven't I seen it?" said Aunt Yue.
Zhou Jinmei said, "Every time her son comes over, he hangs around my house. I don't know what he's doing."
An aunt said, "Aunt Peng just now said that she wondered if her son already had a girl he liked, which was why he hadn't gone on blind dates. Could it be that the girl his son liked was in our compound, which was why he kept coming to our compound?"
"That's possible." The other aunts agreed.
Zhou Jinmei didn't care about the affairs between Peng's mother and her son at all. She was still annoyed that Peng's mother said Da Biao looked nothing like Wu Longfei, and she had no mood to join the other aunts' idle chat.
Even after returning home, Zhou Jinmei was still brooding over what Peng's mother had said.
She said to Ye Fuyun, "Someone actually said today that our Da Biao and Long Fei don't look alike at all!"
Ye Fuyun was picking vegetables, and when he heard Zhou Jinmei's words, his heart skipped a beat.
Her face was slightly pale as she asked, "Who is so blind as to say that Long Fei and Da Biao don't look alike? Da Biao clearly looks a lot like Long Fei."
It would have been better if Ye Fuyun hadn't said that. The more she said that, the more upset Zhou Jinmei became and the worse her tone became.
"It's the mother of the widower in the neighboring compound. She said our Da Biao and Long Fei don't look alike. Her own son still hasn't found a wife, and she still has the leisure to gossip about other people's affairs."
When Ye Fuyun heard the word "widower", his face turned even paler and he felt extremely confused.
She couldn't figure out whether Peng Jianxiang's mother said such words in front of Zhou Jinmei accidentally or intentionally. If it was intentional, could it be that Peng Jianxiang asked his mother to do so?
Ye Fuyun quickly calmed down and said with Zhou Jinmei, "No wonder her son can't find a wife. It must be because she likes to gossip that no good girl is willing to marry into her family."
"Do you know her son?" Zhou Jinmei stared at Ye Fuyun with some curiosity.
Ye Fuyun's heartbeat quickened. She tried to keep her expression steady and said as naturally as possible, "Mom, you forgot. Didn't you tell me before that her son came to our compound and was looking at our house? That's all I know about him."
Zhou Jinmei said nothing more. After a while, she couldn't help but ask, "You didn't do anything to offend Long Fei, did you?"
Ye Fuyun was flustered for a few moments, then pretended to be calm and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? How could I possibly do something to let Long Fei down?"
Zhou Jinmei couldn't explain why she asked Ye Fuyun this. She felt that Ye Fuyun was a coward, too cowardly to do anything that would let Long Fei down or the Wu family down. However, she was also deeply troubled by Peng's mother's sarcastic words, and inevitably had some suspicions about Ye Fuyun.
"But I think Da Biao really doesn't look like Long Fei." Zhou Jinmei seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to be talking to Ye Fuyun.
"That's because Da Biao is still young. He'll be fine once he grows up." Ye Fuyun suppressed the panic in his voice and said, "Mom, don't listen to the gossip of those people outside. They just want our family to be embarrassed. Let them have a good show."
Zhou Jinmei curled her lips and said nothing, thus ending the topic.
But Ye Fuyun's heart could not calm down.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked and angry she became. She felt that Peng Jianxiang must have told his mother about him and her, which was why Peng's mother deliberately said such things in front of Zhou Jinmei.
In Ye Fuyun's view, Peng Jianxiang's behavior was tantamount to putting pressure on her, forcing her to divorce Wu Longfei and live with him with Da Biao.
The more Peng Jianxiang acted like this, the more disgusted Ye Fuyun became, and he even felt a bit of disgust towards Peng Jianxiang.
So, that night, Ye Fuyun took the initiative to ask Peng Jianxiang to meet at the old place.
When Peng Jianxiang rushed over and tried to hug her, Ye Fuyun pushed him away in disgust and questioned him in a low voice: "Peng Jianxiang, I told you I was waiting for the opportunity. Why did you let your mother say that to my mother-in-law?"
