A town is so small, and there are so many people in it. A knows B, B knows C, C knows D, D knows A... The circle is so small, and even the smallest things cannot be kept secret.
So, at around three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the town's famous gossipy woman, the fat aunt Wang Fang, came to their store to chat.
After a lot of nonsense, Wang Fang began to get to the point in a subtle way, "Xiao Qiu, how are you and Ran Fei doing lately? Are you still dating? Is your relationship okay?"
"Yeah, it's okay."
"But I heard that Ran Fei was with someone else yesterday..." Halfway through her words, Wang Fang suddenly touched her stomach and said, "Oh, I didn't eat much at noon, and I'm a little hungry. Let's not talk about it anymore. I'm leaving first and going back to eat something to fill my stomach."
"Hey, Sister Wang, don't go. Why go back? I have everything ready." Yao Jianfen actually didn't like Wang Fang, who was talkative and loved to take advantage of others, but when she heard her suddenly mention Ran Fei, Yao Jianfen was completely hooked.
It’s just a bun, not much money.
As she spoke, Yao Jianfen directly brought her a big meat bun.
"Sister Yao, I don't have any money with me when I go out, so how can I afford to eat your buns?" Wang Fang said in a falsely polite tone.
"Don't be polite. It's not something valuable." Yao Jianfen, who had seen through her thoughts, stuffed the bun into her hand.
"Thank you so much, Sister Yao." Wang Fang, who had gotten the advantage, was very happy and felt that the free bun in her hand was particularly fragrant.
"Sister Wang, what happened to Ran Fei?"
"Yes, Aunt Wang, what happened to him?" Lin Xiaoman asked knowingly.
"I heard it from the second daughter of the Shen family. Didn't she go to the movies last night? She said she saw Ran Fei and Li Feiyan watching a movie together! And they were hugging each other like a young couple while watching the movie."
"What!!" Lin Xiaoman exaggeratedly looked angry.
"Hey, Xiaoqiu, I initially thought you and Ran Fei weren't compatible and the relationship had broken down, but I didn't expect..." Wang Fang shook her head, displaying her 'one who takes favors and one who eats, one who is soft-spoken' spirit, and was equally indignant. "Isn't he cheating on your relationship by playing two girls at the same time? It's really outrageous!"
"How could he and Li Feiyan do this!" Lin Xiaoman continued to act out her anger after being cheated on.
"Well, Sister Wang, Ran Fei has always been an honest child. Is there something wrong?" Yao Jianfen was skeptical and didn't quite believe the words of Wang Fang, a typical gossip-loving loudspeaker.
"Honest? What do you mean by honest? Jianfen, you're just too honest, that's why you tend to think the best of everyone. Let me tell you, Liu Daqing (Ran Fei's mother) is a shrewd and mercenary person. She originally set her sights on Li Feiyan from the Li family. She doesn't even look down on country girls like you."
She agreed to let Ran Fei and Xiao Qiu date because she had her eye on your bun shop. I heard she told her older sisters that if Xiao Qiu and Ran Fei get married in the future, she wants you to hand over the shop to Xiao Qiu as a dowry! By then, she'll be almost retired and can help out in the shop, which means the bun shop will be run by their family."
"She's really long-winded and has such a wishful thinking!" Lin Xiaoman gritted her teeth in anger.
"Impossible?" Yao Jianfen's face was full of surprise. "Liu Daqing doesn't seem like that kind of person. Xiaoqiu, did Ran Fei ask about the shop?"
"Not really."
"Jianfen, are you stupid? Now we're just friends, and it's uncertain whether it will work out, so of course she can't bring it up. When the time comes to talk about marriage, she will definitely bring it up. If you don't agree then, Liu Daqing will definitely not let Xiaoqiu in. Even if you break up, she has a son, so it's not a loss anyway."
Aunt Wang munched on her buns with relish, sharing her speculation. "I think Liu Daqing is trying to have it both ways. She'll let her son be with whichever family gives the bigger dowry. I think her son, Ran Fei, is just like her. He appears honest but is actually wicked. She's trying to have it both ways and take advantage!"
"That's too much! No, I'm going to ask him about this when he gets off work!" Lin Xiaoman slammed the table angrily.
"Oh, please don't tell me that I told you," Aunt Wang said hurriedly after finishing her buns. "I told you this because I couldn't bear to see you two honest people being deceived. You must not betray me!"
"Sister Wang, don't worry, we know what's going on. Take this home and give it to Ermao. Children need to eat more to grow." Yao Jianfen packed another big meat bun for her.
"Sister Yao, you are so polite." After saying this politely, Aunt Wang took her things and left.
"Oh, how could the Ran family do this! They are so bullying! Xiaoqiu, if this is not a misunderstanding, then it is obvious that they are bullying us, really... Oh!" Only the mother and daughter were left in the store, and Yao Jianfen began to sigh.
"Mom, I'll ask him clearly in the evening. The worst that can happen is we'll just break up! Her mother is so shrewd. If she really interferes in the store's affairs after we get married, there will definitely be problems." Lin Xiaoman comforted her. It was very simple to get rid of the original owner's object. The key was to make herself the 'victim'.
"Xiao Qiu, now that you've met Ran Fei, don't be impulsive. Ask him first. Wang Fang is a famous loudspeaker in town. It might just be a misunderstanding. Talk it over first, okay?" Yao Jianfen gave a calm reminder because it concerned her daughter's lifelong event.
"Mom, I know."
…
It was almost time for the nearby factory to get off work. Without waiting for Lin Xiaoman to look for anyone, Ran Fei came first.
