Chapter 97 How to Win Over a Wife If You Have to Be Shame
Fu Xicheng slumped back onto the sofa. "If only my uncle hadn't broken off the engagement, then Yan Sui would be my aunt."
She still has the opportunity to get close to people.
The old man seemed thoughtful and agreed with her words.
"Yeah, your uncle is really useless."
He's been at it for so long and still hasn't won her over; he's all looks and no substance.
Just then, Aunt You walked in.
"Old Master Qiao is here."
The Qiao family and the Fu family were old friends; one was in politics and the other in business.
"Why is that old man Qiao Dingbang coming over for no reason?"
After retiring, Qiao Dingbang developed a love for fishing, and the old man often went fishing with him.
Not seeking great gains, but simply for self-cultivation.
But his rheumatism flared up these past two days, so he's been resting at home.
The old man muttered to himself, but his actions betrayed him; he went out to meet him with his hands behind his back.
"Old Fu! Old Fu!"
Qiao Dingbang, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, was over seventy years old, yet his posture remained as upright as a pine tree.
"Check if my order was successful?"
The old man clicked his tongue. "It's not like you have no one else in your family. Why did you come all this way to ask me?"
You'd think he bought something rare or unusual.
Qiao Dingbang straightened his back slightly, his tone revealing a hint of smugness: "I was just lucky, I managed to snag two bottles of peach blossom wine in the live stream you recommended to me."
He only learned about peach blossom wine because Grandpa Fu told him about it.
That old guy is so stingy. He only gives him a small cup each time, and it's gone before he even gets a taste.
Old Master Fu's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
"You got it? You're kidding!"
Qiao Dingbang showed him the order, saying, "Take a look."
Otherwise, why would he come here? Of course, it's to show off.
The old man squinted at it, then turned and left in anger.
"What's so great about it?"
"Hey, that's nothing special? Do you even have that?"
The old man ignored him, so Qiao Dingbang continued, "With so many family members, you must have managed to snatch some too."
"It's a pity there weren't enough organic vegetables, otherwise I could have tasted what they were like."
"This girl lives in Changqing Village, which doesn't seem too far away. What do you think, should I just send someone over to buy it?"
Grandpa Fu rolled his eyes at him. "Dream on."
Even his son didn't get the advantage of being close to the source, so it was Qiao Dingbang's turn.
Before Qiao Dingbang could even sit down properly, he urged him to bring out the peach blossom wine.
Grandpa Fu was so angry that he glared at me, "You already have one, and you still want to take it from me!"
There wasn't much left in the bottle of peach blossom wine to begin with, and he didn't have much left either.
Yan Sui said that this year's inventory has been sold out, and if you want to buy more, you'll have to wait until next year.
Why.
"Don't be so stingy."
Ever since he had tasted peach blossom wine a few times, he had been longing for it.
Strangely enough, in the past, when his rheumatism flared up, the pain kept him awake all night.
I've taken a lot of medicine and persisted with acupuncture, but nothing seems to help.
Although it still hurt this time, it was much better than before.
He said it was because of the peach blossom wine, but his son didn't believe him.
Although Grandpa Fu muttered something under his breath, he still had Aunt You bring out the peach blossom wine.
Just as he was lying down, Fu Chengjin came over.
He waved, "You've come at the right time, try this peach blossom wine too."
Fu Chengjin snorted, "Big brother still has the mood to appreciate wine."
The old man could tell from her tone that she had come with ill intentions.
"Why wouldn't I be in the mood? At this age, I'm living each day to the fullest, and I'm happy every day."
Fu Chengjin said in a deep voice, "The banquet hosted by Wen Yang has become a laughing stock in the industry. Do you think I don't know about it, brother?"
The old man sneered, "Do what you're capable of. If he becomes a laughing stock, that's his own doing, what does it have to do with me?"
"What are you saying, brother! What does Fu Yansheng mean by choosing this crucial moment to send gifts to those old guys like Li Songxing?"
Since none of them went, the others naturally followed suit.
Fu Yansheng's move was clearly intentional!
He Xin winked at Aunt You, "Go make a cup of chrysanthemum tea to cool down our aunt's temper."
Fu Xicheng was happy to see Fu Qingci embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Auntie, my dad is embarrassed, but I, his own daughter, am not unhappy. Why are you so worried?"
Fu Chengjin snorted coldly, "You really can't tell right from wrong. You've corrupted such a good girl."
Fu Xicheng pouted, about to retort, but He Xin pressed her down.
Aunt You had just brought out the tea when she saw someone else coming in from outside.
She stepped outside, thinking to herself how lively it was today.
The person who came was one of Fu Yansheng's assistants.
"Oh, it's Xiao Song."
"Aunt You, Mr. Fu asked me to send some things back."
He opened the trunk as he spoke.
Five styrofoam boxes, neatly arranged.
"What is this?" Aunt You asked.
Xiao Song laughed and said, "It looks like vegetables. Assistant Qu said that fresh vegetables don't keep well, so he asked the old man to keep some and send some away."
Aunt You also participated in the shopping spree today. When she saw the peach gum and peach blossom wine that Xiao Song brought along, she immediately knew that they belonged to Yan Sui's family.
She smiled and said, "The old man was just saying that Second Master delivered it just in time."
She helped Xiao Song carry the things inside.
"Aunt You, should we put it in the kitchen?"
"Wait, let's take him straight to the main courtyard and make the old man happy."
Xiao Song, unaware of what was going on, followed her and moved the things inside.
Fu Chengjin clicked his tongue, his eyes showing displeasure, and said, "Xiao You, do you even know the rules?"
Aunt You ignored her and said with a smile, "These are the things that Second Master asked Xiao Song to bring back."
Fu Xicheng spotted the peach blossom wine at a glance and jumped up from the sofa.
"It must have been Yan Sui who gave it to me!"
She opened the styrofoam boxes one by one, and they were full of fresh and juicy fruits and vegetables, which looked like they had just been picked!
"Grandpa, so many dishes!"
As Fu Chengjin was speaking, the old man ignored her and went to look at the dishes, not paying any attention to her at all.
"Big brother, I'm talking to you!"
The old man waved his hand, "I know you're angry, but don't be angry yet, let me see the dishes first."
Fu Chengjin was so angry that he was about to leave on the spot.
He Xin smiled slightly, "Are we going back already? Do you want to take some vegetables with you?"
Fu Chengjin gave a cold laugh, "You can keep it for yourselves."
As she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back one last time.
Just then, I saw the old man pick up a cherry radish, wipe it, and start eating it.
She was so angry that her chest ached; she'd really gone mad!
As soon as Fu Chengjin left, the atmosphere in the room noticeably relaxed.
Qiao Dingbang touched and looked at the vegetables with interest, saying, "Old Fu, we've known each other for so many years, you have to give me a box of these vegetables."
Grandpa Fu looked disgusted. "Look how much you cherish it. Take it away. I have plenty more anyway."
That tone is incredibly irritating.
After taking the things, Qiao Dingbang didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he sat down and asked him, "I remember your second son was recuperating in Changqing Village. This farm wasn't invested in by him, was it?"
"No way, if he had invested, the scale wouldn't be so small."
Qiao Dingbang didn't doubt his words. "Then where did he buy it?"
Each live stream only allows one purchase, with tens of thousands of people vying for a few dozen, making the odds of winning incredibly low.
The old man stroked his beard with a smile, "Yan Sheng has some connections with people."
Qiao Dingbang suddenly realized, "That bastard, he kept it a secret so well."
He should have said so earlier! He has a grandson too!
"That girl looks young, she's not married yet, is she?" he began to probe indirectly.
But Old Master Fu was a shrewd man; how could he not see through his thoughts?
"You wish!"
"Hey! My grandson isn't bad either, is he?"
Fu Xicheng curled his lips into a smug smile.
"Grandpa Qiao, give up on that idea. I still want Yan Sui to be my aunt!"
Qiao Dingbang narrowed his eyes. "What's that girl's name?"
"Yan Sui, you've been watching her live streams for so long, and you don't even know her name?"
Qiao Dingbang looked thoughtful. "But I seem to remember that your uncle's fiancée also had this name."
Fu Xicheng: "Oh, it's the same person."
Qiao Dingbang looked at his old friend in surprise, "Yan Sheng is just like you."
They're equally shameless.
Grandpa Fu snorted, "How can you win a wife if you have any shame?"
Qiao Dingbang ignored him and went home with his portion of food.
It's time for him to show off to others.
