Chapter 20 - You Could Try Dating
Although He Feng did not show up in person, he caused quite a stir in the neighborhood committee.
When Fang Ya returned home, she happened to see the large woman walking out of her house.
"Ah! Fang Ya, you're back!" The woman walked quickly to Fang Ya and put the basin in her hand aside.
She pulled Fang Ya to the old tree root at the door.
The two sat on the tree root and the woman said, "I heard He Feng gave you something?"
Fang Ya was surprised. In just half a day, the news had reached the woman's ears.
Fang Ya nodded and then took out a few fruits from her bag and handed them to the woman.
The woman pushed Fang Ya's hand away, not intending to take the fruits.
"What's he like?" The woman asked again, "Do you think he's okay?"
Fang Ya pursed her lips slightly. She thought for a moment and said, "He's a good person. Maybe he'll be a good father."
"I heard that his wife cheated on him and ran away!" The woman lowered her voice and looked around before she said.
"Yeah, I heard that too..." Fang Ya nodded and confirmed it.
"I think this man should be a good man, but I'm afraid..." the woman frowned and did not know how to continue.
Fang Ya smiled and said, "I just hope to find a suitable man to take care of Tang Tang with me when she grows up."
The woman saw Fang Ya's expression and could not help but frown even more. "You can't think like that!"
"Tang Tang is important, but she will have her own life in the future," the woman continued to persuade her.
"You have to think for yourself. In the future..." the woman leaned forward again and whispered, "This man is the one you can rely on!"
Fang Ya still shook her head.
She did not want to rely on anyone, and she never expected anyone to be her benefactor.
She only wanted to grow old peacefully with one person. Even if, in the end, they would still be separated.
Seeing that Fang Ya seemed to be indifferent to the affairs of the world, the woman could not help but continue to advise her, "This person, try to get along with him. If you feel that you can't do it, I will find you a good one!"
Fang Ya looked at the woman gratefully. She knew that if they were talking about conditions, He Feng would definitely be the best.
He could become a general of the Empire through his own efforts, so how could he be any worse!
Fang Ya grabbed the woman's hand, a faint smile on her lips. "I will try my best to date He Feng! If..."
"If he is willing," Fang Ya finished.
"Aiya! I was waiting for you to say that!" The woman suddenly became excited.
"Today, my contact came to me and said that the ignorant He Feng doesn't know how to contact you." The woman said with a smile.
"My contact was worried that you would disagree, so he had me figure out the situation first." The woman continued to say, her whole face beaming with joy.
"He said that He Feng has no love experience. Although he was married, the time he lived with his wife was less than a year." The woman spilled more tea.
"At that moment, although He Feng wants to get along with you, he doesn't know how to say it." The woman stood up and pulled Fang Ya into the house.
"This afternoon, my contact came to my house to deliver something. He wants me to persuade you." The woman pulled Fang Ya into the house and pointed at the big bag of fruits on the table.
Fang Ya could not help but find it a little funny. The woman's contact and He Fend really had the same temperament. Even the gifts were the same!
Fang Ya finally let out a sigh of relief.
Since He Feng also had this intention, Fang Ya did not plan to avoid it any further.
She nodded at the woman and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to tell them that I'm willing to go out and see."
The woman clapped her hands and smiled even more happily. "That's right!"
Fang Ya had just settled the matter when the woman ran to the house next door and phoned her contact. Fang Ya could not help but feel a little heartache when she saw the woman rushing in and out of the house.
She had originally planned to apply for a phone installation recently, but now it seemed that she should install one for the woman's house as well.
"Mom!" Tang Tang's voice came from the door, anxious and sad.
Fang Ya rushed out of the door and saw Tang Tang standing at the door covered in mud.
Fang Ya looked at Tang Tang's appearance worriedly and asked, "What happened to you?"
Tang Tang, who was originally upset, immediately cried out when she heard Fang Ya's question. "Mom, my clothes are dirty!"
"Be good, it's fine. How did your clothes get dirty? Tell Mommy." Fang Ya comforted Tang Tang.
Tang Tang sniffed and looked at Fang Ya. Then, she grinned. "I just hit Little Rock!"
"Ah?" Fang Ya looked at her daughter in shock.. Her entire face froze.
