Chapter 351: 200 Seeking at the Door (First Update)_2

She deliberately drew out her voice, looking at Qiu Yiming’s nervous and flustered appearance with a teasing smile.

Indeed, Qiu Yiming was somewhat at a loss. Having his ulterior motive exposed, he instantly felt guilty. He had purposefully learned massage techniques, preparing to use them to show filial piety, but because he was too busy, he seldom had the chance to massage Zhou Fanghua’s shoulders. Now, he finally did it for her, but it was for a purposeful favor, not simply out of filial piety.

Directly called out by Zhou Fanghua, he felt extremely guilty, thinking he was truly unfilial!

Zhou Fanghua laughed and patted his hand, scolding playfully, "Look at you, no longer a child. I say a few words to you, and you get all nervous. It’s not a big deal, what’s there to fuss about? My son is meant for greater things; how can he be expected to spend all day doing such menial tasks!"

Even though she said this, she sighed in her heart. She could never understand why her son, whom she raised with difficulty and had always been her pride, had fallen for that girl Fang Yuxin!

They say every capable man has ambitions everywhere, and why should a great man lack a wife? With Qiu Yiming’s qualifications, what kind of woman could he not find? Why must he think about that Fang girl all the time?

What’s so good about that girl? She’s not even sweet and obedient!

But thinking back to her own decision, she suppressed the dissatisfaction bubbling in her heart and forced a cheerful smile in front of Qiu Yiming.

She didn’t want her precious son to worry any longer!

Qiu Yiming scrutinized her expression, seeing that she didn’t seem too angry, he hurriedly said, "You are my mother, it’s only natural for a son to serve you! I didn’t have the chance before, but from now on, I’ll make sure to massage you every day!"

Zhou Fanghua lightly smacked him, unable to stop smiling. Although she knew Qiu Yiming couldn’t possibly do it, her heart was still overjoyed! Yet, thinking that Qiu Yiming was doing this to curry favor with her because of Fang Yuxin, she felt displeased once again.

Afraid Qiu Yiming would notice, she laughed again and said, "Don’t you worry, your mother isn’t an old-fashioned stick-in-the-mud. I don’t care who you choose anymore, as long as you like her and she treats you well, that’s enough. I heard what was said earlier, don’t worry about it. Xinxin is indeed a good child, I had the wrong impression before."

Hearing her say this, Qiu Yiming couldn’t stop smiling. Ever since Zhou Fanghua had clearly expressed her dislike for Fang Yuxin, he seldom laughed at home. This was the first time he let out such a sincere smile.

Zhou Fanghua watched with mixed feelings. She had originally agreed to this marriage for the benefits that Fang Yuxin brought. However, if marrying Fang Yuxin would keep Qiu Yiming this happy, she was willing to accept this daughter-in-law.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Fanghua was thankful that her choice was correct.

Qiu Yiming was just too happy, using the trendy online phrase, happiness came too fast, it felt unbelievable! As such, he overlooked the odd look in Zhou Fanghua’s eyes.

He still had many things to do. After massaging Zhou Fanghua a little longer, she sent him away. Once he left, Zhou Fanghua returned to her room, picked out a beautiful and expensive set of clothes, and carefully dressed up.

She had specially brought her high-end cosmetics when they were fleeing. However, without a professional makeup artist, her own makeup was not as perfect as before. Plus, she had been aging rapidly lately, and the final effect was frankly mediocre compared to her past self.

She sighed in front of the mirror but thought that soon all this would change, and her eyes regained their determination. Then, she picked up a delicate clutch and put on her sandals to head for the Fang Family.

Since it wasn’t far, she walked there directly. She maintained an appropriate smile along the way and even thought about what she would say to the Fang Family when she saw them. However, when she arrived at the Fang Family’s doorstep, she stopped dead.

Laughter and chatter flowed out of the house, which seemed too noisy and unbecoming for a family of their standing!

Moreover, judging by the sound, there seemed to be quite a few people from the Fang Family present, as if they were having a gathering.

What was going on?

Zhou Fanghua coughed lightly, then frowned in disgust. She had not expected the Fang Family to have fallen into such a state after only a short time apart.

However, looking at the Fang Family’s yard full of vegetables and fruits, she couldn’t help but feel envious. Fresh vegetables were ridiculously expensive in the Safe Zone now, yet even then, there was a supply and demand issue!

For the Qiu Family, despite their daily rations, the amount of fresh vegetables they could eat was not much. Unlike the Fang Family, whose yard had turned into a vegetable garden. Common as it might be, those hints of greenery were truly pleasing to the eye!

Nowadays, plants were either mutants or withering and turning yellow, looking listless. Mutant Plants were not so easy to come by. The Safe Zone did have plenty of non-mutant plants, but they all looked listless as if they were about to die but wouldn’t.

Looking at this expanse of greenery, Zhou Fanghua couldn’t help but be mundane for a moment, thinking that if she married Fang Yuxin into their family, they would at least not have to worry about fresh vegetables in the future.

With this thought, she suddenly remembered the Fang Family selling fresh vegetables to General Song, and she felt sour again. The two families were to become relatives through their children, how could the Fang Family not think of them first, instead selling to General Song? It was utterly disrespectful!

Did the Fang Family not take the Qiu Family seriously at all?

So she frowned again, waved her hand towards the window, signaling the person inside to come out and open the door for her. (To be continued.
