Chapter 118 Alright, they've set their sights on Fu Huaiyi.
"Him? He works in the military."
"A soldier?"
Pan Hong nodded, then shook his head as if thinking of something. "Although we both work in the military, he's a little different from the kind of soldier you're thinking of. He graduated from a proper military academy and has a rank from the start."
Wang didn't understand this system either. When she heard about a legitimate military academy and terms like military rank, she was intimidated.
They thought they had become some kind of high-ranking official.
"I remember Fu Leyi's family were government officials?"
Pan Hong nodded and said, "Her grandfather retired from the army, as did her father, and her brother who died young was also in the army."
Good heavens, Wang was completely taken aback when she heard him say that.
This family is full of government officials.
"Is he one of Fu Leyi's uncles' children?"
"Second Uncle, there were only two brothers in their previous generation."
Only two sons?
The eldest son's family only has one daughter, Fu Leyi. What about the second son's family?
How many children does he have?
"There are two, one is him, and the other is a younger sister who is still in school."
"Ah?" Wang exclaimed in surprise, "Then that young man is the only one left in their family?"
Pan Hong nodded, "After Xiao Yi's older brother passed away, Fu Huaiyi was the only boy left in their family."
He paused for a moment, then said, "By the way, their aunt's family has three boys."
Wang: "..."
"No matter how many sons my aunt has, they won't bear the surname Fu. They are someone else's family lineage, so what does it have to do with them?"
Pan Hong nodded. "That's true."
"Oh my, that's incredible. I wonder how much of a family business he'll inherit in the future."
Pan Hong clicked his tongue in disdain and laughed, "Mother, you're mistaken. He doesn't have much family fortune, not as much as my father-in-law."
"Oh? He only has one son in his family, does that mean the company won't give him one?"
“Why give it to him? Mother, city people think differently from us. No matter how much my father-in-law likes this nephew, he would never give him his money. At most, he’ll give him a big red envelope during holidays. In the future, all of my father-in-law’s assets will belong to our Pan family’s son.”
Wang grinned slyly and gave Pan Hong a thumbs up. "My son is really something. He managed to coax that simpleton with just a few sweet words."
“Mom, you’re so capable. You don’t know, Xiaoyi told me that you’re so good to her, like she’s her own mother. My mother-in-law is always keeping an eye on her, but you just go along with her.”
Wang chuckled maliciously, "Of course! I serve her like a servant, how could she not think I'm good enough?"
"That's true."
"By the way," Wang said, "although the second son of the Fu family isn't as wealthy as your father-in-law, I think that young man is quite a nice guy. Is he married?"
"No, why?"
Madam Wang laughed and said, "Your two younger sisters aren't married yet. What do you think about us marrying one of your sisters off to them?"
"what?"
“Your younger sister is in her early twenties, and I was just about to have someone arrange a husband for her. This is perfect, isn’t it? A ready-made husband’s family?”
Pan Hong's lips twitched. Recalling Fu Huaiyi's intimidating face, he felt that this matter was unlikely.
"I don't think they might be interested in my older sister."
Wang's eyebrows twitched. "What are you talking about? Fu Leyi can be interested in you, so why doesn't your brother-in-law like your older sister?"
"How can this be the same? Fu Leyi is looking for a son-in-law to live with her family, and I'm going to be a miserable son-in-law in their family. If my younger sister can marry into their family, she'll be living the life of an official's wife and enjoying a life of luxury."
"Who told you that being a daughter-in-law is all about enjoying life? Look at me, have I enjoyed any happiness since I married into your Pan family?"
Pan Hong: "..."
He scoffed and said, "How can these be the same?"
"How is it different? Your older sister's life as a live-in wife in their family is no easier than yours."
Pan Hong: "Mother, no..."
“Why not?” Wang interrupted angrily. “You can’t have children yet, but your older sister can. She’s better than you.”
Pan Hong: "..."
"It's settled then." Wang was overjoyed at the thought of getting her daughter into the Fu family.
Later, think of a way to let your brother-in-law and your sister spend more time together. If they hit it off, great; if not, I have ways to make them a couple.
In high spirits, Wang went to find her daughter.
Pan Hong thought she was talking nonsense; he knew his brother-in-law had always disliked him.
But they're not family after all, and he's not someone's brother-in-law. So what if he doesn't like me? He doesn't care.
However, if he were to marry his sister to him, things would be different.
Let his mother suffer the consequences, and she'll understand.
Pan Hong walked towards the bedroom, but halfway there he remembered that his mother-in-law was going to sleep in the bedroom tonight, so he had to sleep with his brother-in-law.
Fu Huaiyi disliked him, and he disliked Fu Huaiyi in return.
Sleeping with him? Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable.
But when he went to push the door open, he found it was locked from the inside.
Ok?
Pan Hong knocked on the door, "Ayi?"
There was no response from inside.
He raised his voice a little, "Ayi?"
Still no response.
Pan Hong pressed his ear against the door to listen and heard snoring coming from inside.
Pan Hong: "..." So this kid locked the door from the inside, what is he going to do tonight?
Autumn comes early here, and it's still quite cold at night.
Could it be that he's going to sleep in the cafeteria?
Pan Hong went to find his mother with a dark face, only to find his eldest niece alone in the house. He asked around and found out that his mother was in his two younger sisters' rooms.
When Pan Hong came to knock on the door, his mother was talking to his younger sister, Pan Xiaohua.
Wang was talking to her about Fu Huaiyi.
Hearing Pan Hong knocking on the door, she frowned in annoyance and pulled her daughter aside to repeat, "Remember, he'll only be here for two days at most. Make the most of this time to leave a good impression. After your second sister-in-law gives birth, I'll arrange for you to work in Nancheng and stay at your second brother and sister-in-law's house. When the time comes, you'll see each other often, and your opportunity will come."
Pan Xiaohua nodded shyly.
Madam Wang then said, "If you can keep him here within two days, I'll give you a good dowry."
What?
Two days?
Go crazy.
Pan Xiaohua blushed deeply and muttered, "Go on, your second brother is calling you."
Only then did Wang leave.
Opening the door, she looked at the anxious Pan Hong and said irritably, "What's wrong? It's so late, what do you want from me?"
"That kid locked the door from the inside and is snoring away. What am I going to do tonight?"
Wang's lips twitched, and she said, "Oh dear, he's been traveling all day, it's normal for him to be a little tired. Since he locked the door, you can sleep in the dining room. Just put a few stools together and make do for the night."
"How can this be? How can I sleep?"
"Why not? You weren't this troublesome when you slept in haystacks before."
Pan Hong: "..."
He thought that his family was poor back then and he had never had a good life. As long as he could survive, anything was fine.
Is it possible to do it now?
