"What are you talking about? What's so troubling about this?" Li Xu asked as he walked out the door. "Old Fu, this is the girl you're engaged to, Ye Hongmei, right?"
Fu Qing said "hmm" and then pulled the girl out.
This really pissed Aunt Fu off. She quickly chased after him and slapped him again, asking in a harsh tone, "Why are you walking so fast? This is the first time they've met, why don't you introduce them to each other?"
Fu Qing covered his head with his hands in pain and replied with a grin, "Why are you exerting so much strength? Besides, we are in a hurry to get to Hongmei's house."
"How long will it take to introduce them both? Even if you're in a hurry, you won't mind just a moment, right?"
"Auntie is right. I should introduce myself, but there's no need for Fu Qing. I can do it myself." Ye Hongmei wiped away her tears, walked up to Li Xu, and forced a smile. "You are Li Xu, right? I often hear Fu Qing mention you, saying that you are his good brother. Let me introduce myself. My name is Ye Hongmei, and I am his fiancée."
Li Xu's eyes narrowed. Just by hearing the word "Xiao Xu" just now, she was able to think of her own name. This girl is not simple.
No wonder he looks ordinary but can charm Fu Qing so much.
Although he had a lot on his mind, his face didn't show it at all. Instead, he responded calmly, "Miss Ye, please accept my condolences. I often hear Lao Fu mention you. We were just discussing inviting you and my fiancée to dinner tonight so that we could get to know each other. Now it seems we don't have time."
Ye Hongmei nodded and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry. I'll treat you to a meal in a few days, and then we can get to know each other better."
"Sister-in-law?" Hearing this word, Li Xu glanced at Fu Qing, then silently wrote down the bill, but said, "I'll treat you in a few days."
You bastard, you call me big brother to my face, but actually say I'm your little brother behind my back. I think you're just itching for trouble.
Fu Qing's face turned green, and he just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, so he urged, "Okay, now that we all know each other, let's go quickly."
"Yes, Xiaoxu, we have to go. You can have a good chat again when you are free in a few days." Aunt Fu agreed.
"Okay." Li Xu responded, walked quickly to Fu Qing, took out fifty cents from his pocket and stuffed it into his pocket, then whispered, "This is my gift money, take it."
Since you have encountered this situation, you must pay the money.
There's nothing we can do about it, since Ye Hongmei is still Fu Qing's fiancée.
He had no connection with the Ye family, and there might not be any connection in the future, so he decided not to go.
Fu Qing didn't say much. He just responded and took the two of them to the Ye family.
Li Xu returned home and had nothing to do so he could only tease Li Wenbai.
It’s true, he really missed Li Ju since she went to school, especially when she was resting at home like now.
Since it was still early, Hu Guilan hadn't started making lunch yet. Instead, she sat aside and asked, "Xiao Xu, what were you two doing in such a hurry just now?"
"Nothing. He suddenly remembered that he had something urgent to do at home, so he asked me to go with him."
It’s hard to say about Ye Hongmei’s situation. After all, no one knows whether she and Fu Qing will get married in the future.
It would be fine if the marriage fell through, but if it didn't, how would the Li family treat her after they learned about her character?
"Is it done?"
"No, within two minutes of arriving at his house, I received the news that his future mother-in-law had passed away."
"Ah?" Hu Guilan screamed, "He's dead? Doesn't that mean Aunt Fu and the others' wish to have a grandchild will be postponed again?"
"Nine out of ten."
Regardless of whether he marries Ye Hongmei or not, Fu Qing’s marriage will definitely be postponed.
Hu Guilan's expression was extremely complicated. "Aunt Fu and the others, this is too difficult."
It was indeed difficult. After waiting for the disaster to end, the problem of the death of children in the family had already been discovered.
Just wait until two months later to pay off the debt and get married, then happily hold my grandchildren in my arms.
But this kind of thing happened at this time.
And Ye Hongmei still doesn't know how to solve the problem.
In addition, Fu Lin, the eldest son of the Fu family, is also a unique person. He insists on waiting until Fu Qing's child is fine before he is willing to get married and have children.
Thinking about it carefully, Li Xu wanted to use the word "ill-fated" to describe Aunt Fu and her husband...
Then he sighed, "It just happened that way. There's nothing anyone can do about it."
Fu Qing's incident was an unexpected event, and no one could say anything. So Hu Guilan talked about the other son of the Fu family, "Speaking of the eldest son of the Fu family, it's really something. With only a few people in the family, isn't he in any hurry to continue the family line? My mother's family already has so many people, and I still hope that Yitong and his family will get married and have children as soon as possible."
Hearing her mention the Hu family, Li Xu was even more speechless.
Hu Yitong had suffered a lot of setbacks before and was unwilling to continue the blind date.
But he didn't expect that after just a few days of being Li Xu's apprentice, Hu Yang and his wife urged him to continue his blind date career.
The key is that they are still urging the second and third sons of the Hu family to go on blind dates...
Li Xu didn't know what they were thinking. Life had just gotten a little better, so was there any need to rush into getting married and having children?
No wonder the family planning policy was later implemented.
If everyone gave birth like this, the country would not be able to bear it!
Thinking of this, he replied sheepishly, "That's right, but I think apart from Brother Yitong, the other two shouldn't be so anxious."
"They are just looking to see if there is a suitable girl to be engaged to. As for getting married, the earliest it will be next year."
Getting married is a considerable expense these days, especially for the Hu family.
Therefore, Hu Yang and his wife did not plan to let their three children get married at the same time, so they had to come one by one.
Li Xu scratched his head and asked doubtfully, "Sister-in-law, if they are married, will they rent a house?"
Although the Hu family's house is not small, there are more children, so it is just barely accommodating to live in now, with several people having to squeeze into one room.
If Hu Yitong and his two companions get married, we can't let them stay together, right?
Hu Guilan waved her hand. "Renting a house is so expensive. My dad has already made up his mind. In a couple of months, once he's saved up some money, he'll build two small houses in the yard for the second and third children. And if they get married, we can free up one of the small houses, which will be just right for Yitong."
Li Xu: ...
"It's better to go out and rent a house. The house that Brother Qiang and his family rent only costs a few cents a month, which is enough for three families to live in. Besides, building a house in the yard doesn't look right."
No matter how big the yard is, how much will be left after building two houses?
Moreover, if the cost is shared equally among three people, each person won’t have to pay much, which is much cheaper than building a house.
