Chapter 97: Empty Room



Father Zhou snorted in annoyance, "It's really strange. They are not your own grandchildren, why do you care so much about them?"

"Didn't you say that the child has no father? I think you should just let Zheng Ting marry him to you. You can get a grandchild for free and save yourself from envying others every day!"

Zhou's mother rolled her eyes at him in feigned anger and said, "That's because you haven't seen those two children. If you had seen them, you might have loved them even more than I do!"

"Besides, do you think I haven't tried it? I talked to my son about it, but he disagreed!"

Zhou's father originally said those words out of anger, but he didn't expect that she actually had this idea.

I actually asked my son.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to get angry or to laugh and cry.

He simply stood up and went back into the house. "I don't want to talk to you. If you rush to give food to other people's children like this, they will be scared by you. Who dares to eat food from strangers?"

"I know my limits."

Mother Zhou was too lazy to continue talking to him.

Quickly drain the washed grapes and put them into the lunch box.

Then he carried it out the door.

When Zhou's father saw her leave, he felt that it would be boring to be alone at home.

After reading the newspaper, I listened to the radio for a while.

It's really boring to be alone.

I simply changed my shirt and planned to go out for a walk.

He wanted to see how popular those two children were.

How could he make his wife so obsessed with him?

But just as he walked into the yard, he saw the old woman coming back with a cloth bag in her hand, looking listless, with her head hung.

Father Zhou was stunned for a moment and asked, "What happened? Didn't you see anyone?"

Mother Zhou sighed and shook her head.

Father Zhou saw that she seemed to have become a different person in such a short period of time.

He was full of energy when he went out just now, but now he looks like a frost-bitten eggplant.

I dare not say anything sarcastic anymore.

I just consoled him, "It's okay, maybe he didn't go out today. It's so hot, who goes out every day?"

Mother Zhou sighed, "I passed by their yard on purpose and saw that it was empty. The people next door said they just moved out yesterday."

Seeing this, Zhou's father didn't know what to say.

Anyway, today is not a good day.

The old woman was in a bad mood and was too lazy to cook lunch.

The two of them just made do with some leftovers.

Father Zhou thought that this was not a solution, so he took the initiative to help out with some advice, "If you really miss him, go to the school and ask where he moved to. Didn't you say last time that he was a college student at Peking University or Tsinghua University?"

It’s better not to mention this.

Speaking of this, Zhou's mother regretted it so much that her intestines turned green!

"I was so busy caring about the child that I didn't even ask what the mother looked like or her name. How could I ask?!"

Father Zhou shrank his head and quietly retreated from the house.

Well, let’s just make do with dinner.

......

Fang Ruyun was also looking for Jiang Qingyue that day.

She didn't think much about it when they met last time, but she was bored these past two days and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

The last time I met her, I saw her almost walking into the compound, and the security guard at the gate did not say anything to stop her.

Could it be that this is not her first time coming in?

Thinking of this, Fang Ruyun hurried out to the gate to ask the security guard.

After reminding him for quite some time, the other party still couldn't remember which day it was.

Fang Ruyun had no choice but to patiently remind him, "Is there a female college student from Peking University or Tsinghua University coming in and out of our compound? She's about my age and has long hair."

The security guard thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Isn't this girl you are talking about very beautiful, with big watery eyes, shiny black hair, and -"

The security guard had just finished speaking when Fang Ruyun's face darkened.

Just now she reminded the other party that she went out that night, but he had no recollection of it at all.

As a result, when I described Jiang Qingyue, he remembered it so clearly?

Fang Ruyun curled her lips and laughed dryly, "I guess so. Does she live in our compound?"

When the security guard mentioned this, he showed a trace of regret, "Isn't it? The family just moved out yesterday!"

Fang Ruyun was stunned on the spot.

He snorted inwardly, thinking that Jiang Qingyue was indeed a sinister person.

The last time we met, she lied to me and said it was her first time here. I didn’t expect that she actually lived in this compound.

Is this to get the moon first because you are close to the water?

But why did Jiang Qingyue move out in such a hurry?

Fang Ruyun couldn't figure it out and felt that there was only one possibility.

That was because Zhou Zhengting discovered that she lived in this compound, so he drove her away.

Anyway, no matter what, as long as the people move out, it's fine.

Thinking of this, Fang Ruyun put aside the unpleasantness of discovering that she had been deceived.

He went home humming a little tune happily.

She is going on a blind date tonight, so she wants to go back early and dress up nicely.

After changing into a newly bought dress, she started applying makeup on her face again.

I stayed in the countryside for so long that I got a lot of freckles on my face without realizing it.

No matter what kind of vanishing cream you apply, it’s useless. You can only use powder to cover it up a little.

When she thought of this, Fang Ruyun couldn't help but complain.

"Mom, look at my face. I'm already getting spots at such a young age."

Fang's mother glanced at her and comforted her, "You take after me. I also started to have spots when I was your age."

Fang Ruyun grumbled reluctantly, then changed the subject and asked, "Mom, is the condition of this guy surnamed Gu who I'm going on a blind date with tonight really as good as you said?"

"Of course I'm right. Didn't I show you the photo last time? His family conditions are more than enough for our family."

Fang Ruyun smiled shyly, "The conditions look pretty good in the photo. Mom, if we can really be together, then I don't have to work anymore, right?"

Fang's mother rolled her eyes at her. "I cried and made a fuss about going to the library earlier, and now I finally got the chance. Why do you keep making up your mind? How can you treat work matters so lightly?"

Fang Ruyun said coquettishly, "Mom, it's not that I'm afraid of being tired, it's just that I've been exhausted from working in the countryside for so many years. I finally came back to the city, and I just want to relax and take it easy."

Fang's mother shook her head helplessly.

In the past few years of going to the countryside, I would send her money and things every month.

Everything we eat, wear and use was sent by them.

Every time I wrote a letter or made a phone call, I complained about not being able to do the work in the fields.

Why are you so tired?

However, I only have this one daughter, so as long as she doesn't go too far, I'm willing to turn a blind eye and spoil her.

So Fang's mother changed her tone and said, "Okay, it's up to you. As long as you get married quickly, your father and I won't be able to control you after you get married."

"But you have to be more determined and get married and have children soon, so that you can rest at home openly. Otherwise, others will criticize you if they find out."
