"Does your friend also have to see that person every day? Have they ever fantasized about a future with him?" Su Ning asked.
Liang Fu was stunned. "This...this doesn't seem to exist."
Now it was Su Ning's turn to be puzzled. "So you don't particularly like her, do you? Anyway, when I like someone, I need to see her all the time and fantasize about our future life together."
Upon hearing this, Liang Fu felt as if struck by lightning, her face instantly frozen in shock. Could it be that she hadn't really liked Lin Shansheng that much before? But when she learned that Lin Shansheng had feelings for Li Qiaozhen, she did feel a pang of sadness.
"You can't say that," Liang Fu retorted. "My friend was also very sad when she saw the person she liked with someone else."
Su Ning shook her head. "It's different. Your friend's behavior might just be a simple possessiveness."
Liang Fu was at a loss for words. Su Ning's words made her re-examine her feelings for Lin Shansheng.
"May I ask you another question?"
"Go ahead and tell me."
Why did your friend fall for that person? Was it because he was nice to her? Or because of his appearance?
Liang Fu recalled when she first felt she had special feelings for Lin Shansheng. It seemed to be the time when Lin Shansheng leaned close to her face, his handsome face making her heart flutter.
"It seems to be because of my appearance..." Liang Fu said uncertainly.
Su Ning nodded. "Did your friend really understand what kind of person that person is?"
Liang Fu only knew that Lin Shansheng was a very capable, responsible, and filial person. Apart from that, she knew nothing about Lin Shansheng.
"I know a little bit about it."
"That means he doesn't really like someone. Let your friend try liking someone else instead."
The two chatted all the way home and Liang Fu seemed to have been sobered up by the conversation, and began to think about her feelings for Lin Shansheng.
Zhao Shufang thought they were a couple who had gotten married, so she quickly stepped forward and said, "Oh dear, I guess we have two happy events this year?"
Liang Fu said helplessly, "Aunt Zhao, please stop talking. It's not necessarily true that she likes me."
"You don't like me? Then I wait for you every morning until we finish setting up our stall, staring at you so intently that my eyes are practically piercing through you. And you're telling me that's not liking me?"
Liang Fu stopped and smiled sheepishly, "They were just being kind, afraid that something might happen to us again."
“Then I’ll have to have a serious talk with you,” Zhao Shufang pulled up a chair and sat down. “Do you know how sweet his eyes are every time he looks at you?”
"And the little snacks I bring every morning, aren't they all your favorites?"
Liang Fu then realized that Su Ning's words today seemed to be a test of her. She was very annoyed, but didn't know what to do.
“But I don’t think I really have any feelings for him.” Liang Fu looked at Zhao Shufang with a helpless expression.
“Why not give it a try?” Zhao Shufang said. “Feelings are cultivated slowly.”
After saying that, she went to prepare the vegetables for today, leaving Liang Fu alone to think.
During the time Lin Shansheng was away, everyone was busy with their own lives in an orderly manner, and their lives became more and more prosperous.
“I think it’s about time,” Lin Chaosheng said during dinner one evening. “Let’s stop all our work tomorrow and move our things to the new house.”
He went to the new house this morning, and there was no longer any odor. Then today he called a few people over to clean it together.
Next, he went to Old Tang's place. Old Tang was very efficient and had already finished making all the furniture.
So he felt it was time to move to a new house, which is why he told everyone about it.
"Shouldn't we wait until Shansheng comes back before moving?" Lin Shanhai asked.
"Are you stupid?" Zhao Shufang tapped Lin Shanhai's head with her chopsticks. "Why don't we just clean up his house? Shansheng doesn't have much stuff to begin with, and he's going to work in the city soon. He won't be able to come home much. If you wait for him, how much longer will it take before we can move into our new house?"
Liang Mei was very excited after hearing Lin Chaosheng's words, "I'll help you all tomorrow too!"
Lin Chaosheng quickly picked up a piece of food and stuffed it into Liang Mei's mouth, "My little darling, you shouldn't join in, or you'll get a stomachache!"
Everyone tried to dissuade her, so Liang Mei had no choice but to give up. "Then I'll just watch you guys from the sidelines tomorrow, okay?"
Everyone laughed and agreed, then hurriedly finished their meal, excitedly awaiting the arrival of tomorrow.
The next day, Lin Chaosheng borrowed a tricycle from somewhere and, together with Lin Shanhai, transported the furniture to the new house in trip after trip.
Zhao Shufang was very happy as she looked at the rows and rows of furniture, because the workmanship of these pieces of furniture was exquisite.
"Shall we start moving then?" Zhao Shufang said.
So she and Liang Fu worked together to move the furniture into every room.
Lin Chaosheng and Lin Shanhai finally started moving the last batch of furniture to the new house, so they joined Zhao Shufang and the others in moving the furniture.
They caused such a commotion in the village that all the villagers came out to watch.
"You really moved?"
"How could it be fake?"
"The Lin family is really getting better and better."
Some kind-hearted people even stepped forward to help, but Lin Chaosheng hurriedly declined. However, the people who were helping him just jokingly said that they wanted to take advantage of the new house.
Lin Chaosheng eventually gave them some money, even though the people who wanted to help refused. Lin Chaosheng didn't want to owe them favors, lest they come looking for trouble in the future.
Lin Chaosheng sat on a recliner in the courtyard, gently fanning himself with a fan. "This is really exhausting, Mother. Let's not eat at home tonight, let's go out to a restaurant."
Zhao Shufang was also exhausted and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's go."
"Did the sun rise in the west? You old woman actually agreed to let us go out to eat together?" Lin Shanhai started acting like a jerk again.
"Don't try to fool me, I don't have the energy to deal with you today, but I'll have plenty of energy tomorrow." Zhao Shufang pointed at Lin Shanhai with her fan.
"Let's go, Mom," Liang Mei said, pulling Zhao Shufang along. "Let's go order some food first!"
"Yes, yes, let's ride our bikes first and leave them behind, let them walk."
After Zhao Shufang finished speaking, she called Liang Mei and Liang Fu to set off on their bicycles, leaving Lin Shanhai and Lin Chaosheng staring at each other.
