Early that morning, Wang Fang came to visit in person, and Tong's mother quickly and warmly welcomed her in.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Wang Fang looked at the Tong family's exquisite and beautiful decorations, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
Tong's mother washed fruit and brought out snacks, treating her like a VIP, and even called out towards Tong Qian's room:
"Qianqian, your Aunt Wang is here, get up quickly."
She said to Wang Fang apologetically, "Qianqian is such a lazybones, I've spoiled her rotten. I don't know how her mother-in-law will dislike her in the future."
Wang Fang didn't say anything, but calmly rolled up her sleeves to pick up her teacup, just enough to reveal the new bracelet on her wrist.
Tong's mother noticed it immediately: "Oh, I've finally put your gold bracelet on. It suits you very well. Dacheng is such a filial child."
Hearing this, Wang Fang was satisfied.
She took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "He's just a wage earner, how can he compare to your Qianqian?"
Tong's mother patted her hand: "What's the point of comparing? We're all just working for someone else, and everyone has their own hardships. Don't say things like that in front of Dacheng, or the child will feel sad."
Although Dacheng isn't good at studying, he's hardworking and reliable. He's done a great job supporting the whole family on his own; we should be content.
Thinking of her son, who hadn't spoken a word to her in the past few days, Wang Fang felt even more suffocated.
She outwardly agreed with what the mother said, but inwardly she was cursing her.
Li Shuhui, what do you mean? What do you mean I should know how to be content? Aren't you just trying to tell me to accept my fate?
I'm not as lucky as you, having such a capable daughter, but you'll soon be just like me.
Tong's mother smiled obsequiously: "Sister Fang, you're here now, does it mean that Qianqian's boyfriend has been settled?"
Wang Fang nodded: "That's right, this time I've found Qianqian a good match, it's 100% going to work out."
"Great! Tell me the details quickly. Qianqian, what are you dawdling for? Come out here, your Aunt Wang is here to find you a boyfriend."
Qi An walked out of the bedroom, still half asleep, his hair a mess like a bird's nest. Before he could even speak, he opened his mouth and let out a big yawn.
Tong's mother was a little embarrassed: "Look at how sloppy you are, you'll be scolded to death by your mother-in-law when you get married."
Wang Fang laughed and said, "It's alright. You know, Qianqian is so lucky. The man I found for her had a mother who passed away early."
"His mother is gone?" Tong's mother asked.
"Yes, so Qianqian is the head of the household after she marries into the family and won't suffer any mistreatment from her mother-in-law. Unlike us back then, we suffered so much at the hands of our mothers-in-law."
Tong's mother said happily, "Oh, that's great! I've spoiled Qianqian so much that she can't do anything. I was worried that she would be bullied by her mother-in-law in the future."
Wang Fang said, "But there are also downsides. When Qianqian has a baby, she won't have her mother-in-law to help take care of it."
Tong's mother waved her hand: "What's the big deal? I'll help her take care of her. As long as she's doing well, I'm happy to suffer a little."
Wang Fang made the decision: "Then there's no problem."
Qi An watched coldly as Tong's mother, this naive old woman, was easily swayed by Wang Fang's words, even making plans for the child's future, without asking a single crucial question.
She plopped down on the sofa: "Aunt Wang, you still haven't told us the specifics about that man."
Wang Fang, who had hoped to get away with it, showed a hint of unease: "Of course everything is good, if it wasn't good, Auntie wouldn't have told you."
"Okay, then I'll ask a few questions."
"Go ahead and ask."
"What's his name? How old is he?"
"His name is Hu Gang. He's five years older than you, thirty-five. It's good for men to be older; they're more caring."
Where are you from?
“He’s a local. If you marry him, you’ll automatically get a city residency permit.”
What educational background do you have?
"Education... well, it's not as high as yours. Oh, don't worry about that. The most important thing is that the two of you can get along. Since you have a higher education than him, you can easily control him."
Tong's mother chimed in, "That's true. As long as a person is capable, their education level isn't the most important thing. As long as the two people can get along, that's fine."
Qi An, who had used the Soul Searching Technique on Wang Fang, sneered inwardly: "A junior high school education, a murderer, and a prisoner—she's really something."
She then asked, "How tall? I'm 1.69 meters tall, he absolutely cannot be shorter than me."
Wang Fang clapped her hands: "Then don't worry, he's 1.78 meters tall, fair-skinned and handsome, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Tong's mother then asked, "So what kind of work does he do? Is it stable?"
Wang Fang pursed her lips: "Shuhui, you forgot, she's a local. She owns a building that she rents out. She could live off the rent for the rest of her life and never have to worry about food or drink."
"If they demolish the house again in two years, they'll be living the high life. Qianqian will be set off to enjoy a life of luxury if she marries into that family."
Tong's mother was overjoyed: "That's wonderful, Fang-jie, thank you for your trouble."
Wang Fang concluded, "This boy is perfect in every way, and he's honest, doesn't talk much, and is absolutely reliable."
Qi An hit the nail on the head: "Since he's so eligible, why is he still single at thirty-five? Are all the others blind? Can't they see how good he is?"
Tong's mother also asked curiously, "Yes, with such good conditions, shouldn't she have been delayed until such an old age?"
Wang Fang froze for a moment, then quickly composed herself.
“I asked his dad, and he said that he used to have a girlfriend, but she died in an accident, so he never dated again. He has only gradually recovered in the past few years and is now preparing to start a new life.”
Tong's mother sighed, "That's a sentimental child, but are you sure he's completely let go?"
Don't use Qianqian as a substitute for entertainment, like in that TV drama "Empresses in the Palace." That won't do.
"Don't worry about that, absolutely not. It's been almost ten years, he's long since let it go. That kid is kind-hearted, he even sponsored college students before."
"You even sponsored college students?"
The mother was now completely relieved.
In the minds of their generation, those who sponsor students' education are all kind and good people.
"As long as his character is good, that's fine. No matter what, we can't bully Qianqian."
"Definitely not, otherwise I would be the first to disagree."
Tong's mother was overjoyed: "Okay, I'll find someone to inquire more specifically. If there are no problems, we'll have them meet and talk."
Wang Fang got anxious: "What are you still asking about? Don't you trust the person I introduced? Let's meet tomorrow. The sooner we meet, the more at ease you'll feel. With such a good offer, if someone else snatches it up first, you'll have nowhere to cry."
Tong's mother hesitated for a moment, then looked at Qi An: "Qianqian, what do you think?"
Wang Fang also looked at Qi An nervously, afraid that she would refuse.
Qi An said nonchalantly, "Then let's meet. Aunt Wang wouldn't harm me, right?"
"Ah, yes, yes, Auntie naturally hopes you'll get better."
Staring at those smiling eyes, Wang Fang felt inexplicably uneasy.
She lifted her buttocks and said, "Then I'll head back. I need to contact them later and tell Qianqian to dress up nicely tomorrow so we can win him over in one fell swoop."
"Okay, Fang-jie, I'll take you there."
Tong's mother saw Wang Fang into the elevator before returning to her room, her smile never fading.
Qi An looked at her with pity. The two of them had a fake sisterhood, which was not only fake, but also poisonous.
Wang Fang hummed a song as she walked through the neighborhood and dialed Lao Hu's number.
"It's all settled. Get everything ready, and we'll meet tomorrow morning to avoid any unforeseen problems."
"Don't forget the 100,000 yuan you promised me after it's done. She's a top student and a virgin. Your son is getting a good deal."
As soon as Wang Fang hung up the phone and lifted her foot, her shoe slipped, and she fell flat on her face, the hollow gold bracelet hitting the cement floor as well.
"Ouch..."
It took her a while to get up. She first touched the slightly deformed gold bracelet with heartache before turning her head to look at it.
Who threw banana peels on the road?
Wang Fang put her hands on her hips and cursed, "Which scoundrel litters like that? He'll never be able to have a son in his life."
She had just finished cursing when a bird flew over her head and dropped its droppings precisely into her mouth.
Wang Fang spat for a long time, then finally grumbled and limped home.
In the living room, Qi An stuffed the last bite of banana into his mouth. Who the hell wants to have a son?
That day, Tong's mother forced Qi An to apply a face mask, personally dressed her, and then made her go to bed before 10 p.m.
"Your Aunt Wang sent me the time and location. Don't stay up late tonight. Go to bed early and get some rest so you can do something important tomorrow."
Qi An rarely listened to him: "You're right, we're going to do something important tomorrow."
After a week of waiting, it's finally time to get serious.
happy!
