Chapter 272 The whole family went to Nancheng
"Oh? What can we do so late at night? Are you worried about not having a place to stay? I've made up a bed for you..."
The old man said, "Don't worry about him, I'm the one who sent him to the city."
The next day, Fu Wen returned with several plane tickets in his hand.
"This... you bought a plane ticket?"
The old man smiled and said, "Time is tight, so flying is faster."
It's fast, but the plane tickets must be so expensive, over a hundred yuan each.
The tickets for the five of them cost several hundred dollars.
And it's just for tomorrow's tickets.
Okay, I need to get started preparing now.
Lin Dawei cleaned the chicken and duck coops thoroughly and then sprinkled lime on them for disinfection.
Prepare the food they need, and inspect the shed one last time.
Ye Lian went next door to find her old friend.
It had been arranged long ago. They were going to the south of the city for a while, and their old friend had promised to take care of the house and the livestock for her.
Everyone has their own problems sometimes.
A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative; that's how it is in the countryside. If you need anything today, I'll look after you.
I have something to do tomorrow, so please keep an eye on things for me.
However, this time they will be gone and need to be looked after for a longer period of time.
Ye Lian took a bottle of wine, a packet of sugar, and two boxes of pastries over.
"Oh dear, I promised to watch your house, so why did you bring so much stuff? Take it back quickly."
"Sister Wang, just take it. There are so many livestock to feed, it's all work. Please help look after them for a few days. My daughter-in-law will be back in a few days."
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. When are you leaving?"
"tomorrow."
"Oh, that's pretty urgent."
"The children all have to take leave from school. Every day that's delayed means one less day of income, so it's better to get it done early."
"That works too. Are we still having a wedding at home? I haven't even had a chance to drink Yuyao's wedding wine yet."
"We'll do it. They'll come back to do it next year when they have time."
"That's fine then."
With everything settled at home, they went to the airport together the next day.
Everyone around knew that Lin Yuyao was going to marry someone from another place. This time, they were picking up her parents to hold a wedding banquet. Along the way, people greeted them with smiles and offered their blessings from time to time.
Old Master Fu saw it all and already knew what was going on.
Although the girl's family was not well-off, her parents' relationship with the neighbors showed that they were kind and had a very good reputation.
The neighbors next door were also willing to help them look after their house and feed the chickens and ducks, which was no easy task.
They wouldn't have agreed if they didn't respect their character.
The older generation judges people by their parents.
If the parents are okay, the child can't be too bad.
The way their neighbors treated them speaks volumes about their character.
He's seen it all these past two days, and now he's finally relieved.
They left by car, but the gossip surrounding them didn't stop.
"This old man seems like someone special. He's even going so far as to propose marriage for his grandson, bypassing his son and daughter-in-law. Do you know what he does for a living?"
"I don't know, what do you mean by 'doing'?"
"I'm not asking you this."
"I didn't realize it, he's just an old man."
"That's different."
"Why is it different?"
“Look at the way he walks, and the look in his eyes.”
What's wrong with your eyes?
"Murderous."
"..."
"You're hilarious. You're saying an old man who walks with a cane has a murderous aura?"
"Tsk tsk, you should read more books. People call it a walking stick, not a cane."
"Isn't that cane just a walking stick?"
"Only those with limps need crutches, and canes are... are..." He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he just had the feeling that powerful people used them for decoration.
Someone nearby said enviously, "Yuyao is really lucky. If she hadn't broken off her engagement with the Lu family, she wouldn't have met such a good family."
"That's true. When they first came to visit, they even had to bring so many gifts that they had to use a car to carry them. But look at the Lu family. The most gifts Lu Jiangting brought were just two bags of fruit candy."
Some people also spoke up for Lu Jiangting.
"The Lu family's conditions are what they are. Can they compare to the Fu family? Look at that old man. He's obviously not an ordinary person."
"You can't say that. The Lu family can't compare to them, but two bags of fruit candy is too insulting. You say Lu Jiangting has no money? Then how come they have money to give to Fang Qing?"
They had already heard that Lu Jiangting hadn't asked Wang Jianjun to repay the money he lent him to buy a house.
The person died, and it was to save him that he died. It's reasonable not to ask the orphans and widows for money.
It's unreasonable that he has no money for his fiancée but is very generous to that widow and her child.
With Fu Huaiyi and his grandson coming to the Lin family to propose marriage, their complicated love-hate relationship with the Lu family once again became the most talked-about topic in the surrounding villages.
Finally, Lu Cong couldn't take it anymore and threw a huge tantrum at home, which terrified Wang Cuilan.
Feeling aggrieved, Wang Cuilan sat at the door and cursed Fang Qing again.
They felt that their family's current predicament was all Fang Qing's fault.
Yuyao is such a good child; she looks like a filial daughter.
If she had married into this family, she definitely wouldn't have been able to bear the suffering. How could she be living like this now?
……
Taking a plane is much faster; you can leave in the morning and arrive in the afternoon.
Back in familiar surroundings, Fu Huaiyi immediately arranged for Lin Dawei and Ye Lian to stay at Fu Leyi's house across the street.
The house had been lent to the Pan family before, and Pan Xiaohua had cleaned it before she left. However, Fu Huaiyi later hired someone to clean it again, so the house was quite clean and tidy.
"Father, Mother, you can stay here for now."
"We live here? Then where do you live?"
Fu Huaiyi pointed to the opposite side, "I'm right across the street. You can call me if you need anything. Yao Yao lives upstairs, so it's very close."
So this is what Lin Ping meant when he said they lived upstairs and downstairs.
It really is upstairs and downstairs.
"Why are you living in three houses? We can just live with Yuyao. There's no need to waste another house."
“It’s not a waste. This house belongs to my cousin. She entrusted it to me to look after. It’s a waste for you not to live here.”
"What about the other side?"
"The apartment across the street is mine, and the apartment upstairs is... rented by Yao Yao."
Why rent out so many houses?
They felt it was such a waste.
"Yuyao, once you get married, give up the apartment upstairs. Renting is such a waste."
When the question was posed to Lin Yuyao, she could only nod in agreement, "Okay."
"By the way, where does your grandfather live?"
As soon as he got off the plane, someone picked him up.
“He’s staying at my uncle’s house, and my parents are staying at my uncle’s house too. We’ll rest for a bit today and then go over together tomorrow.”
Ye Lian nodded, "That's fine, you can make the arrangements."
"By the way, what about the young man who came with your grandfather?"
"He has to drive the car over, which will take a few days."
They settled down temporarily, went to see Fu Huaiyi's house across the street, and then went upstairs to see where Lin Yuyao lived.
These houses are indeed quite small compared to those in the countryside.
