When Fu Yichen arrived at the Fang family home with his gifts, many of the Fang family members were already out working in the fields. Only Gu Nini's maternal grandfather, Fang Zhicong, and maternal grandmother, Li Lian, were at home.
After all, they are getting on in years, especially Li Lian. She had broken her leg when she was young, and now that she is older, her leg aches from time to time, especially on rainy days when the pain is excruciating.
That's why Fang Zhicong often stays at home with her to make sure she doesn't suddenly fall.
"Oh my, isn't this the third son of the Fu family? You're back!"
"Yichen, why are you carrying things over here? What are you doing here?"
Fang Zhicong and Li Lian naturally knew Fu Yichen and were aware that Fu Yichen was engaged to their granddaughter.
It just seems that their granddaughter has never been fond of Fu Yichen and never gives him a friendly look.
certainly.
They hadn't seen their granddaughter for several years.
Fu Yichen put his things down and called out to Fang Zhicong and Li Lian, "Seventh Master, Seventh Madam, I came back yesterday. I came over today to sit for a while and tell you two pieces of news, which I think are good news."
Upon hearing Fu Yichen's words, 63-year-old Fang Zhicong couldn't help but ask, "Oh, what good news?"
Li Lian then said to Fang Zhicong, "Old man, go and pour Yichen a glass of water first."
Fu Yichen quickly said, "Seventh Aunt, no need, I just drank some at home."
Li Lian replied, "Yes, yes, old man, hurry up!"
"Here it comes, here it comes!" Fang Zhicong realized his mistake and quickly went to pour water for Fu Yichen.
Fu Yichen took the water and thanked them repeatedly before asking, "Seventh Master, Seventh Madam, how have you been lately?"
"fine."
Fang Zhicong said, "It's because your seventh aunt's rheumatism causes her pain from time to time."
Li Lian said, "This is an old problem, I'm used to it. Yichen, you just said you had two pieces of good news to tell us, what are they?"
Fu Yichen said, "Seventh Master, Seventh Madam, our family just returned from Aunt Fang's house. We have finalized the marriage between Nini and me."
"We will be getting married on May 15th."
Upon hearing Fu Yichen's words, Fang Zhicong and Li Lian were overjoyed.
Fang Zhicong stood up abruptly and asked anxiously, "Third son of the Fu family, are you telling the truth? Nini agreed to marry you? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Although he hadn't seen his granddaughter for many years, he knew that she was difficult to get along with, seemed to harbor some hostility towards them, and looked down on them, the rural people.
After all, her father was a capitalist, and there were dozens of servants in the house to take care of their daily needs.
This is something they never even dared to dream of.
In fact, back then, when he learned that his daughter was going to marry a capitalist like the Gu family, he panicked, thinking that such a great opportunity could not possibly fall into their laps.
In fact, he was right. After his daughter married into the family, she did not live a good life at all. On the contrary, she lived a life worse than that of a servant.
Moreover, his daughter had been married for so many years, and their son-in-law had only visited them once, on the day of their wedding. In all the years since, he had never come to visit them.
It's fair to say they completely disregarded their family.
But now he suddenly heard Fu Yichen say that he was going to marry their granddaughter, and that the wedding was scheduled for May 15th.
May 15th is just around the corner, only about half a month away.
That's why he was so shocked at that moment, unable to believe it was true.
