Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 588

Chapter 588: Chapter 467: The Old Fox’s Son-in-Law

The two generations of the Yi Family brought up the Fang family.

Coincidently, in the Fang family’s study, three generations—grandparent, father, and son—were also discussing this marriage proposal. To be precise, Mr. Fang was urging Fang Fei to make a quick decision.

"Grandpa, this matter can’t be rushed. Forget the Qu family; besides me, they’re looking at other prospects too. I’m not some big radish for them to pick. I’ll think more about the Yi family; things aren’t as simple as you think."

Mr. Fang gave him a few hard knocks, "Of course, I know it’s not simple, but what does our family have to plot? I’m just afraid we might miss the opportunity. Do you know how long the Lin family has been eyeing the Yi family’s girl? Old Lin has been praising his eldest grandson, clearly wanting a good granddaughter-in-law."

Mr. Yi quickly intervened, affectionately patting Fang Fei’s back, "Dad, you can talk, but don’t hurt the kid. Our Xiao Fei isn’t unable to get a wife; there are plenty of girls who want to marry him."

"The one who deserves a beating most is you, you brat. If it weren’t for your indulgence, would I not have a great-grandson by now?"

Mr. Yi muttered softly, "It’s like you didn’t spoil your eldest grandson."

"What did you say? Speak up!"

Fang Fei couldn’t help but laugh, winking at his dad, and turned to Mr. Fang with a smile, "Grandpa, look at how handsome your eldest grandson is. Many girls cry, begging me to marry them, so what are you worried about."

Mr. Fang was amused, his mouth couldn’t help but grin widely, "Tell me. What are you really hesitating about? You find the Qu family girl too petty, and I agree with you, she’s not suitable. But the Yi family’s girl is really nice. Even your grandma says she’s quite impressive."

"Xiao Fei, maybe you should discuss the reasons with your grandpa. If you really aren’t willing, then so be it. It’s essential to find a compatible partner for life."

"You brat, get out of here! Are you trying to stir trouble? I followed your advice back in the day, and it’s not like you’ve been living all that great."

"I’m doing well, with a virtuous wife and outstanding sons. But look at little brother’s family; the daughter-in-law you chose has the house in chaos every day, and what’s so good about that?"

Mr. Fang was infuriated, this rascal son only knows how to poke at his scars. He truly is a bastard!

Fang Fei shook his head with a bitter smile, knowing this father-son pair was in for another round of arguments.

He sat alone, closed his eyes. The Yi family... he didn’t quite understand why they were interested in him. Over the past two years, so many rich young men had proposed, yet the Yi family paid them no attention, and now they’re proactively discussing marriage with his grandpa. If there weren’t some reason, he wouldn’t believe it.

Fang Fei believed he wasn’t inferior to others, but when something unusual occurred, he always sought to understand the underlying advantages and disadvantages. Compared to the Qu family’s deceptive radish picking, the Yi family’s actions this time made it hard for anyone to find fault.

Thinking of this, he looked at the still arguing father and son, didn’t interrupt, and quietly left the study.

Standing in the courtyard, a cold wind blew, giving Fang Fei a jolt.

Suddenly, his thoughts became clear. Looking toward the Yi family, a hint of unusualness flashed in his eyes; he turned and went back to his bedroom.

After dinner, Fang Fei, who considered himself thoroughly familiar with Zhang Guoqing, leisurely strolled to the Zhou family.

Aunt Chen from the Zhou family saw Fang Fei and smiled, pointing towards the East Wing, leading him to the small study on the west side.

"Did Xiao Wu go out tonight?"

Aunt Chen laughed, "He came back this afternoon and saw his little wife had gone out alone, so now the couple is probably bickering."

Fang Fei couldn’t help but laugh out loud. This henpecked nature is truly amusing, as if everyone wants to snatch his wife, just look how fond he is.

Aunt Chen knocked on the door first, "Xiao Wu, Fang Fei is here."

Zhang Guoqing had already heard the commotion, put down Zhou Jiao who was in his arms, stood up to open the door. Without waiting for a reply, he opened the door, seeing Fang Fei alone, he said with a smile, "Brother Xiao Fei, please come in."

Fang Fei teased, "Am I not disturbing the couple?"

"It’s cold outside, come in first and then we’ll talk. What brings you here today?"

Zhou Jiao saw him come in, exchanged a couple of pleasant words, made an excuse to go to the living room to see the child, leaving space for the two to discuss matters. Seeing Fang Fei come alone, he probably had important business with Zhang Guoqing, and she really felt embarrassed to eavesdrop.

Fang Fei, seeing Zhou Jiao leave, didn’t rush into the main topic. He took the tea Zhang Guoqing had brewed, had a sip, and sighed, "You really live comfortably here, give me some of this tea."

Zhang Guoqing gave him a disdainful glance, "Doesn’t your workplace have plenty of tea?"

"You better believe it. Since last year, tea has become a rarity, what with the steel manufacturing and turning tea fields into farmland, plus exporting, all I’m left with are tea scraps."

Zhang Guoqing chuckled at that. This is the kind of mutual understanding they share; otherwise, Fang Fei wouldn’t speak so openly on sensitive topics. However, regardless of who it involves, he still doesn’t like engaging in this topic.

"This is just wild tea from deep in the mountains, nothing that good. If you like it, I’ll bring some next time."
