Happy Little Farmer
Chapter 567

Chapter 567: Chapter 567

Old Zhou was an absolutely fierce man.

Typically, those who could say such things were definitely not ordinary people.

His magnanimity was way beyond imagination.

Yang Fan could tell this guy was dead serious, it looked like he genuinely enjoyed his current life and sincerely hoped that Zhu Shanshan would also let loose so he could feel a bit more at ease.

"Old Zhou, I have to admit, you’re really thoughtful when it comes to the sister-in-law," Yang Fan said helplessly.

It was just the term "little white face" that made him uncomfortable.

Although his face wasn’t dark, he really disliked the term "little white face"; it was utterly awful.

Old Zhou chuckled and patted his chest, saying, "Of course, if I wasn’t thoughtful enough, how would that work? After all, she’s your former sister-in-law. Even setting aside personal feelings, we’ve at least made each other’s acquaintance."

Something stirred in Yang Fan’s heart, and he deliberately said, "Since you’re so open and natural about it, why don’t you introduce the sister-in-law to me, and I’ll take care of her for you."

"Fanzi," Old Zhou’s expression froze, "That’s a joke you can’t afford to make."

Yang Fan felt somewhat melancholy, indeed, jokes could be made, but this matter was absolutely impossible.

Even if Old Zhou didn’t care about the nominal feelings between him and Zhu Shanshan, he definitely cared about his own face.

Then, just at that moment, Old Zhou lowered his voice and said, "Fanzi, what’s going on with your brain? Even though we’re brothers, we can’t do stuff like that. Me introducing your former sister-in-law to you, what would that look like?"

"But we don’t interfere with each other now, you get that? I do my thing, she lives her life, and if you really have the skills, then go pursue her. If you get together, I’ll give you a big red envelope."

"Seriously, though you’re a heartbreaker, with girlfriends nearly lining up, I think it would be pretty good if your former sister-in-law got together with you. Have a comfortable time for a few years before considering the future," he said.

Yang Fan was astonished.

He never expected that Old Zhou would come out with such an answer.

It wasn’t that he was rejecting Yang Fan and Zhu Shanshan being together, but rather he was rejecting introducing them.

Yang Fan had intended the conversation as a joke, naturally, he wanted to take the joke all the way. Otherwise, Old Zhou might get the wrong idea. So he continued jokingly with a smile, "I’ll try for myself, but I’m afraid sister-in-law will kill me. Old Zhou, you’ve been so considerate towards sister-in-law. I’m willing to be the little white face; you might as well do a good deed thoroughly and set it up completely."

Old Zhou twisted his mouth in irritation, "You’re afraid of being killed, and I’m not? Stop playing that game with me. You have your eye on my ex-wife, and I haven’t even said a word, yet you dare to push it!"

"But you just said ex-wife, which means she’s no longer related to you," Yang Fan replied with a smile, "And now if you help me out with an introduction, that’s killing three birds with one stone, a perfect deal. There’s a problem with the way you’re thinking."

"What problem? Where’s this killing three birds with one stone? Come on, explain it to me. If you make it clear, even if I have to take a beating, I’ll do it for you," Old Zhou said forcefully, stuffing a lobster into his mouth, teeth gritted.

Yang Fan said, "First off, you really want the sister-in-law to have fun and be happy now, right?"

Old Zhou nodded.

"So, like you just said, if I step in as a little white face to make sister-in-law happy, wouldn’t that goal be achieved? Let’s not talk about what sister-in-law thinks for a moment, just based on your own plan and thoughts, isn’t that the case?" Yang Fan asked.

Old Zhou nodded again.

"Okay, this is the first bird, right?"

"That’s right. Continue, this one I recognize, it’s what I just mentioned myself."

"Okay, so helping to matchmake me and sister-in-law, would that fulfill the brotherly duty? That would be another bird, wouldn’t it?"

Old Zhou stared straight at Yang Fan and suddenly let out a light tsk, asking, "Fanzi, you weren’t like this in my memory, were you?"

"Can’t help it, birds of a feather flock together."

Old Zhou fell silent.

After a while, he finally gestured with his hand as if admitting defeat, "Alright, I’ll take this on, let’s just say your reasoning makes sense. So, what’s the third bird? Tell me, what’s this so-called third bird about?"

Yang Fan started smiling, "Isn’t the third bird falling on you, Old Zhou?"

"I play happily with sister-in-law every day. When you see us happy, won’t your guilt fade away? Wouldn’t you naturally be able to enjoy yourself wholeheartedly?"

Old Zhou: ...

Yang Fan clapped his hands and said, "Old Zhou, tell me, isn’t my suggestion perfect? Isn’t it killing two birds with one stone? Don’t pretend not to admit it. You clearly agree in your heart. Be a good sport, I’m waiting for your good news."

Old Zhou gave Yang Fan a strange look, his expression resembling someone who had just swallowed three or four bitter melons whole.

With uncertainty, he asked, "Fanzi, you’re not joking with me, are you?"

"What joke would I be making with you? I’m very serious," Yang Fan declared emphatically. "In fact, I’ve been drooling over sister-in-law for a long time. Only, I was afraid you would kill me, so I didn’t dare show any interest."

"Now you’re even ready to let sister-in-law find some other pretty boy. Wouldn’t giving me a break be nice?"

Old Zhou became somewhat confused. He ruffled his hair and then, after some thought, suddenly raised his drink to Yang Fan, "Come, Fanzi, have a drink first, and then you must tell me honestly if you really have such thoughts."

Clang.

Yang Fan tapped Old Zhou’s glass and said seriously, "Don’t doubt it, I couldn’t be more serious."

Old Zhou then said with emphasis, "Fine, since you’ve spoken so thoroughly, I also acknowledge your so-called three birds with one arrow. Even if your sister-in-law beats me to death, I will help you with this. Only a guy like you would ask his ex-husband to play matchmaker. You’re the only scoundrel that could come up with such an idea."

"However, I’ve got a concern. You’re saying that with all these women around, you still dare to flirt with your sister-in-law? No, I should now refer to her as Shanshan. Let me warn you, Zhu Shanshan might seem very amiable on the surface, but she’s not easy to deal with at all. Stepping on too many boats won’t work with her."

"And one of your girlfriends is her bestie. You could end up losing both, even Sisi. You better think it through, don’t blindly rush into things."

Yang Fan interrupted Old Zhou with a smile, "Old Zhou, stop, I was just kidding with you."

Old Zhou’s gaze suddenly turned unfriendly, "You scoundrel, are you making fun of your old man?"

"Alright, truth is, I have some worries about my own situation." Yang Fan spoke earnestly, "You know my circumstance well. Although I don’t have this intention at the moment, what if someday?"
