Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Pei the Big Bun (8)_1

Fang Hui listened to what he said and looked at Grandma Fang’s expression, which appeared genuine. She couldn’t help but feel a sense of sinking in her heart, and her face turned slightly pale as she returned home without asking Grandma Fang to help arrange the marriage.

The grandson is still not as valued as a blood-related grandson! Without a word, she sent her grandson to Pei Qin’s house, always planning for her own grandson. How would she consider her grandson-in-law! Fang Hui decided not to seek her mother’s help anymore. She would find someone else and was determined to finalize the matrimonial match before Fang Li could!

However, the only suitable candidate was her mother, but now ruled out, she could only find someone who had influence over her and her siblings. After much consideration, the only option was Sun Tiezhu’s house.

Fang Hui quickly decided to ask Grandma Sun for help with the matchmaking. During the house-moving time, she had seen that Sun Tiezhu’s family was present, and Grandma Sun was a person who was easy to talk to, with her daughter-in-law also being very diligent in helping.

Without delay, Fang Hui took a fish and two boxes of pastries and went straight to Grandma Sun’s house.

Grandma Sun was not at home. Her cousin’s husband had not survived the summer, and the younger family members had taken her to stay for a few days to talk and console her, to prevent her from falling ill as well.

Fang Hui frowned in secret, feeling it was an ill omen. However, since she was there, she did not want to delay. Seeing that Lady Zou also seemed gentle and kind, she spoke to her, discussing the difficulties Pei Qin and her brother faced and expressing her hope for them to come to her house as her daughters and sons, whom she would take care of. She also praised the Sun family for being benevolent and thanked them for taking such good care of Pei Qin and her siblings.

Lady Zou was not foolish. As she picked up the gifts and heard that Fang Hui wanted to find her mother-in-law, and remembering Feng Bo’s gaze sticking to Pei Qin when delivering vegetables, she guessed Fang Hui’s intention. She felt somewhat displeased. Even if her own family did not have scholarly relatives or dozens of acres of land, they had an iron workshop. Her brother learned to forge from a young age and now worked as a carpenter; he was skilled and handsome, no less than Feng Bo, and yet he had no such hope. It seemed the Feng family, just because they were related, thought to add another kinship tie to their good fortune!

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Xingwang started crying. Lady Zou hurriedly held him, casting an apologetic glance at Fang Hui, and comforted her son to stop crying, thinking that he chose the right moment to cry. The Feng family only relied on their kinship relation; if that were set aside, they were not exactly the best settlement for marriage. She was not inclined to help them pursue a matter her own brother had not achieved.

It was already a hot day and an irritating matter; with the child crying incessantly, Fang Hui’s face began to grow unwell. Seeing that she could not make any headway, she set the items down, saying that there was something she needed their help with and that she would come back in a couple of days or maybe the next day.

Lady Zou, holding Xiao Xingwang, said apologetically, "All matters at home are handled by my mother-in-law and the head of the family. How about waiting until my mother-in-law comes back? I’ll tell her immediately!"

"When will your mother-in-law come back?" Fang Hui asked with some impatience in her heart.

"That, probably in three to five days. At the latest, she won’t stay there past the fifteenth!" Lady Zou said with a smile.

Fang Hui took a deep breath. She couldn’t appear too eager. Since she had brought the items, she nodded with a smile.

Sun Tiezhu, hearing his son crying continuously, came over to comfort him.

Lady Zou washed a handkerchief and wiped her son with it, whispering Fang Hui’s intention to Sun Tiezhu.

Sun Tiezhu only said one sentence, "They’re not a good match, are they?" Xiao Pei was now the teacher of Chang’s house’s young master. Even if she did not marry into a wealthy family, at least the groom’s family should own a shop. Their siblings were now in possession of more land, making more products, and earning more money. Sooner or later, they would open their shop.

"Even if they were suitable, I wouldn’t help speak for them!" Lady Zou rolled her eyes. It had to be someone about whom no one could say a bad word.

Sun Tiezhu knew she liked Pei Qin and wanted her to become his sister-in-law, but there was nothing he could do if they were unwilling.
