Chapter 350: 200 Seeking Door-to-Door (First Update)

Zhou Fanghua made up her mind, and ideas quickly formed in her heart. She wasn’t a fool by nature, previously she had been confused and had trapped herself, but now after listening to Qiu Hongsheng’s words, her thoughts gradually became clearer.

If Qiu Hongsheng had directly discussed this matter with her, she might not have been able to think it through, and might even have become paranoid, thinking that Qiu Hongsheng was deliberately going against her and being inconsiderate of her difficulties.

But because of her relation to Qiu Yiming, she was able to think clearly for a rare moment prior to this, without being swayed by her former biases. Furthermore, the conversation she had eavesdropped on was precisely about Qiu Yiming, who had not chosen to immediately marry Fang Yuxin.

Her biases never had the chance to surface and influence her rationality, which allowed her to understand the current situation and the various benefits that Fang Yuxin’s joining the Qiu Family could bring.

Now, the Qiu Family’s military stature was much reduced from what it once was; it was precisely the time when they needed support. And Fang Yuxin was the unique second-level Wood Element superpower user in the whole Safe Zone; once she married into the Qiu Family, all the powers, big and small, within the Safe Zone would naturally give face to the Qiu Family, even generals like General Song and General Li!

At this moment, Zhou Fanghua still did not know that, due to her involvement, the Qiu Family had once missed a great opportunity by a hair’s breadth!

When Qiu Hongsheng and Qiu Yiming came out of the study, Zhou Fanghua had already regained her composure. Taking advantage of the moment when Qiu Hongsheng wasn’t paying attention, Qiu Yiming gave Zhou Fanghua a deep look. Seeing that she showed no difference in demeanor and didn’t appear angry, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When Zhou Fanghua was eavesdropping outside earlier, he actually knew about it. Zhou Fanghua’s footsteps, though light, were not truly silent. The so-called silence was only relative to the hearing of ordinary people. After a superpower user’s Awakening, all five senses are enhanced to a certain degree, so when Zhou Fanghua came upstairs, Qiu Yiming noticed the movement.

But Qiu Hongsheng didn’t notice, so he pretended he knew nothing about it. Later, when Qiu Hongsheng brought up his marriage to Fang Yuxin, Qiu Yiming worried fiercely for a moment, afraid that Zhou Fanghua might suddenly burst in.

Fortunately, Zhou Fanghua did nothing of the sort, staying outside the room until their conversation was over. This unusual behavior faintly raised some expectations in Qiu Yiming’s heart; he always felt that Zhou Fanghua used to like Fang Yuxin a lot, but after the apocalypse, she couldn’t accept it for a while, so she became emotionally unstable and even started to dislike Fang Yuxin.

Zhou Fanghua’s current unusual reaction made him unable to restrain his hope that Zhou Fanghua would return to her former self and stop being unreasonable and hysterical.

Of course, what he hoped for the most was to restore the relationship between Zhou Fanghua and Fang Yuxin.

So after coming downstairs, he made a point of giving Zhou Fanghua a deep look to observe her expression. With this observation, he felt that, no matter what Zhou Fanghua had thought of, her condition was clearly much improved compared to before.

This was a good sign!

Thus, after lunch, Qiu Yiming expressed that he had something to say to Zhou Fanghua. Naturally, Zhou Fanghua had no objection, and Qiu Hongsheng, sitting on the side, gave a smirk and a wave of his hand indicating he was not interested in their mother-son conversation.

Qiu Hongsheng had a lot of matters to deal with, and he left quickly. To have a heart-to-heart with Zhou Fanghua, Qiu Yiming deliberately stayed a bit longer.

Zhou Fanghua sat on the sofa, while Qiu Yiming purposely went behind her and attentively massaged her shoulders. He had learned to do so to show filial piety, and his technique was quite professional, controlling the strength well. Soon, Zhou Fanghua was so comfortable that she squinted her eyes.

She scolded with a smile, "You only help me massage my shoulders at times like this." Qiu Yiming quickly begged for mercy, and she didn’t take it to heart, instead saying, "Alright, stop trying to be cute. You’re my son, don’t I know you? I’m already content with your filial piety. Didn’t you say you have something to tell me? Out with it! Don’t beat around the bush!"

Qiu Yiming then massaged with even more effort, and after a while, he said, "Mom, the conversation I had with Dad in the study earlier—you heard it all, didn’t you? What do you think?" He finished speaking and looked at Zhou Fanghua nervously, waiting for her reaction.

Zhou Fanghua turned around to look at him and gave him an unhappy glare as she said, "I was wondering why the sun came out from the west today, our Young Master Qiu is actually trying to please this old woman—turns out it’s for this matter, huh—"
