Happy Little Farmer
Chapter 71 - 71 71 Wait or Give Up

71: Chapter 71: Wait or Give Up 71: Chapter 71: Wait or Give Up Facing his sister-in-law’s sudden concern of an unusual kind, Yang Fan didn’t know what to say for a moment.

But deep down, he was absolutely resistant.

The items in his sister-in-law’s shopping cart looked extremely tempting, those pictures and descriptions could very quickly hook people’s thoughts.

However, he still preferred real women, especially the stunning beauty standing in front of him right now.

“Sister-in-law, let’s forget about these,” Yang Fan said, handing Ye Tong’s phone back to her and shaking his head.

“Why?

I think they look good,” Ye Tong asked, “I glanced over these, and most are one-to-one replicas of real people, including photos and stuff.

Although this might require a bit of imagination, it’s not too far from the real thing.”

“But they’re still toys, I don’t like using these things,” Yang Fan said, shaking his head.

“If you don’t use these, what will you do when you feel the urge?” Ye Tong was somewhat embarrassed for a moment and then suddenly came up with a bad idea for Yang Fan, “Maybe you should do something illegal?”

Yang Fan easily figured out what kind of illegal activity his sister-in-law was referring to.

He couldn’t help but laugh and cry, asking, “Sister-in-law, why are you suddenly so concerned about this today?”

Ye Tong slightly lifted her eyes, glanced at Yang Fan, and said somberly, “Because this way, you won’t consider making moves on me.”

Yang Fan’s expression stiffened, and his heart felt like it was harshly clutched.

Sitting dejectedly at the edge of the bed, he said, “Sister-in-law, if that’s how you felt… you could have just told me directly, there’s no need for all these roundabouts.

If I must restrain myself, I believe I can do it.

I can also seriously find someone, no need to rely on these items to divert my energy in the future.”

Ye Tong realized the weight of her last comment might have been too harsh.

She sat down beside Yang Fan and spoke softly, “I understand a lot of things, and I’m not opposed to being with you, but I still want to wait.

After all, I’ve been spoken for by your elder brother, and although it’s common in rural areas for a sister-in-law to marry her brother-in-law, I don’t want to become the woman in people’s mouths who couldn’t wait to marry her brother-in-law half a year after her fiancé disappeared.”

“Sister-in-law, if you had feelings for my elder brother, I wouldn’t entertain any thoughts at all.

But you haven’t even seen each other more than once or twice, why must you insist on this?

I believe my elder brother is still alive, and I’ve already thought that when he returns, I would arrange another marriage for him and take care of everything,” Yang Fan said.

“He left without a word, and there’s been no news of him for half a year; I think this is actually a good compromise.”

Ye Tong gave a sad laugh, “But what if your elder brother is set on me?

What will you two do then?”

Those words left Yang Fan speechless for a moment.

Although he felt in his heart that his elder brother might have already considered his bride long gone and wouldn’t wait for her,

exceptional situations always exist, and if that were really the case, it would indeed be difficult.

“Fanzi, let’s wait another half a year.

If he doesn’t return by then… then I will seriously consider our situation,” Ye Tong said earnestly, “But until then, you should restrain your feelings.”

Yang Fan felt utterly confused, his mind too chaotic to think or consider anything.

He felt a hopeless weakness as if someone had thrown him into a sack and beat him mercilessly.

He could completely understand his sister-in-law’s thoughts and knew that in this era, it was an action worthy of praise.

Yet, among ten thousand people, perhaps none would think as his sister-in-law did, so foolishly.

Yet, he couldn’t quite control the feelings that had quietly been growing in his heart over the past half-year.

When it came to matters of the heart, Yang Fan’s thoughts were very straightforward.

If it could be resolved, continue; if not, cut it off completely.

He didn’t like being strung along like a spare tire at all …

The sister-in-law and brother-in-law were just proposed by matchmakers, there were no feelings, no engagements, nothing at all.

Why couldn’t this work?

A verbal promise had seemingly become an ironclad law, leaving him no chance to wedge himself in.

A half-year promise sounded even more like a dismissive excuse.

“Sister-in-law, since that’s the case, then maybe you shouldn’t consider me anymore.” After a long contemplation, Yang Fan said earnestly.

Ye Tong looked at Yang Fan with a bit of a resentful expression, “Do you really need to be involved with me right now?”

Yang Fan shook his head, “No, I just feel that our ideas are completely different.

What I think can be disregarded is exactly what you consider most important, sister-in-law.

I should respect your opinion and dismiss those unrealistic thoughts.”

Ye Tong’s demeanor was calm as she looked at Yang Fan and asked, “So, you mean I’m just your sister-in-law from now on, right?”

Yang Fan nodded slightly, mocking himself lightly, “When you choose to hold on, and I still harbor those feelings for you, doesn’t it seem quite messed up?

But to be honest, sometimes I really can’t control where my feelings go.”

“Sister-in-law, you don’t need to give me any promises about something after half a year; I can restrain myself.

Additionally, if I’ll impact your and Little Mother’s reputation, I can also think of something else, like moving out.”

“I really was too simplistic in my thoughts about these matters before.”

As Yang Fan spoke these words slowly, each additional word seemed to drain a bit of strength from his body.

Once the words were out, his heart felt empty, and his body was so weary that even speaking was difficult.

Ye Tong’s expression suddenly turned ugly; she cast a sorrowful look at Yang Fan and then abruptly left Yang Fan’s room.

Yang Fan sat there quietly, not going after her to explain.

The sister-in-law probably felt insulted by what he had said.

But wasn’t her trying to buy those messy toys to stem Yang Fan’s feelings for her also an insult?

“Fallen into promiscuity as I was born, why must I cling to a single magnolia tree!” Yang Fan mocked himself inwardly.

With his level of self-control, he should really stop joking about feelings; it’s better left unspoken.

It seemed like he wasn’t lacking female companionship anymore.

About two or three minutes after Ye Tong left, Wei Juan, dressed in pajamas, sneaked into Yang Fan’s widely opened room, “What happened?

Did you have a fight with your sister-in-law?”

“No, what would we fight about?” Yang Fan forced a smile, shaking his head.

His sister-in-law’s words had affected him so much that even his thoughts of doing such things with Wei Juan had faded.

“I just saw your sister-in-law going upstairs with a dark face, and you look like this.

If it’s okay, you can actually talk to me, I can mediate a bit for you two,” Wei Juan softly said as she sat down next to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan shook his head, “It’s just a small disagreement, nothing really serious; I’ll go close the door.”
