"Why are you here?" Fu Chen asked coldly.

Qian Kun smiled like a greasy bastard, half-smiled, raised his eyebrows, "Why can't I come? After all, the engagement can be cancelled, not to mention that Meilan just got to know you earlier, it's no big deal."

Fu Chen's face darkened when he heard this. "Meilan and I have already established our relationship, and my mother has already met Meilan. In addition, I remind you that Meilan is not Li Anna, and your despicable tricks will not succeed."

Qian Kun's nonchalant expression gradually subsided at this time, "I found out that Meilan is indeed not Li Anna, so I am serious. It's not because Liu Meilan is your girlfriend that I want to snatch her away, but because Liu Meilan is very good and I want to snatch her away."

"Haha!" Fu Chen snorted and looked at Qian Kun with contempt, "You are dreaming! There are too many calculations in your eyes and heart that shouldn't exist. You can sell out anyone for profit, even yourself."

"Other women may be fooled by your sugar-coated bullets and sweet words, but Meilan won't. In the end, you will only be happy for nothing, so don't bother yourself. Just do your business well and don't interfere with others."

Qian Kun also smiled coldly, "Isn't this the precious thing about Meilan? Why can you have her but I can't? Anyway, you haven't gotten married yet. Even if you are married, I can break you up."

"If you don't want to waste your time, I suggest you withdraw. I will pursue Meilan and marry her. I will never interfere with who you like or who you are with in the future. Our feud is over."

Hearing this, Fu Chen was so angry that he laughed, "Qian Kun, after all, I still underestimated your shamelessness. If you have the ability, then you can rob it. If you can rob it, it's your ability. But I advise you, Meilan is a person, not a thing. You will never succeed with the same trick you used before."

"Haha, let's wait and see." Qian Kun smiled, put his hands in his pockets, whistled, and left like a gangster.

Looking at Qian Kun's leaving back, Fu Chen also smiled.

He was no longer as worried about gains and losses as before. He believed that his relationship with Meilan was a true exchange of true hearts, and that they got to know each other, fell in love, and got along slowly.

Zhang Jian was just at the door. After overhearing, he quietly told Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Young people are always full of youthful energy."

"Old leader, there is a saying in my hometown that a good girl is sought after by all families." Zhang Jian said with a smile, "It can only be said that our Meilan is too good, and these young talents all want to pursue her."

"Yes." Old Master Liu nodded. If it was Liu Yuxin, he might be worried, but he was not worried at all about Liu Meilan encountering such a situation.

How can a person who never likes to take advantage of others and does not believe in sweet talk change easily?

He won't stop it.

On the one hand, he wanted Fu Chen and the Fu family to know that the Liu family's daughter was very good and there were many requests for her.

On the other hand, we also want to see whether young people can hold on after experiencing these temptations.

If you can, once you get married, you can keep going.

If not, it only means that the fate is still shallow and needs more practice.

He has absolute confidence in his granddaughter Meilan.

After Fu Chen came in, he put a bunch of camellias in the vase.

Taking the tools out of the box, Fu Chen asked with a smile: "Grandpa Liu, do you want to make a nest for the parrot?"

Old Master Liu smiled and nodded, "Yes! Meilan bought me two cockatoos. I think the bird cages are a little small. I'll let them out when they are well-trained!"

Fu Chen smiled and nodded, "I'm good at this. I made a bird's nest for my grandfather before!"

As he spoke, he used a saw to cut the wooden board into small pieces and then made a small house.

He used sandpaper to carefully polish it inside and out until it was smooth, then climbed up the tree, placed it on a branch, and secured it with wire.

Mr. Liu was very satisfied when he saw Fu Chen working efficiently. "Not bad, better than mine!"

"Grandpa, where is Meilan?" Fu Chen asked.

Mr. Liu pointed to the room and said, "Meilan is in the room! Qian Kun came over just now, but Meilan didn't want to see him, so she hid herself!"

Hearing this, Fu Chen couldn't help but smile brightly, revealing his white teeth, "Meilan, there's a movie showing in the square today, do you want to go and watch it?"

Liu Meilan opened the window and poked her head out. "Did you ask what was on it?"

Fu Chen replied: "It should be a martial arts film!"

"Okay, let's go to the movies tonight!" Liu Meilan replied, and she came out of the room, "But I have to start taking care of my ornamental fish now, you play chess with grandpa first!"

"Okay!" Fu Chen agreed.

He was not good at talking and didn't have much to do, so he didn't have much to talk about with his elders.

Things about work can be talked about in a very boring way, but things that are not boring have to be kept confidential.

Playing chess is the best way to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Zhang Jian brought the chess pieces and chessboard, and Fu Chen and Old Man Liu played chess under the tree.

Zhang Xiufang was cleaning the two yards of the ornamental fish farm. She was wearing an apron, a hat and gloves, and working hard.

Seeing Liu Meilan was about to work, Zhang Xiufang quickly stopped her, "Meilan, please don't do it! I can do it myself! You pay me so much, and you provide food and accommodation, I will feel bad if I ask you to work again."

Liu Meilan put down the tools in her hands and smiled, "Okay, then I'll quit! You've done a great job, keep it up."

Zhang Xiufang smiled happily, "It's not a lot of work, I can finish it by myself! After I finish cleaning and feeding the fish, I will make you some delicious food."

"Okay!" Liu Meilan thanked, "Sister Xiufang, are you adapting to life here now?"

Zhang Xiufang smiled and said, "It's not even April yet, but it's already so hot! I sweat all over as soon as I move. It's very different from where we are back home!"

"But the food here is good, the work is not hard, and there is no pressure. I just hope that I can be healthy and Chongyang can grow up safely and study hard. My mother and I have adapted to the life here and we like it here!"

Liu Meilan nodded, "As long as you can adapt to it!"

"We've said that we'll worship the gods in the temple we're in!" Zhang Xiufang said with a smile, "Since we're planning to settle down here, Chongyang and I have started to learn the local dialect. If you don't understand what I'm saying, you can point it out!"

Seeing that Zhang Xiufang was actively integrating into the local community and was full of hope for her future life, Liu Meilan was completely relieved.

When writing to my elder brother and sister-in-law, I always tell them these things so that they can feel at ease.

Liu Meilan took a look around and saw that these ornamental fish were growing very well. Some of the hatched fish were also very healthy. In another two or three months, some of them could be sold directly.

Zhang Xiufang didn't let him work, so after watching it, Liu Meilan went to watch her grandfather and Fu Chen play chess.

At this time, someone knocked on the door. Liu Meilan was very diligent and ran to open the door. "Auntie Yu, why are you here?"

Aunt Yu smiled and said, "It's a happy event!"

"Ah?" Liu Meilan was stunned. "There's a happy event in my family, how come I don't know about it?"

Mr. Liu and Fu Chen, who were playing chess, also stopped and looked over.

Zhang Jian quickly moved a stool for Aunt Yu, "Aunt Yu, please sit down."

Aunt Yu smiled and said, "It's actually a happy event for your family. Zhang Xiufang is now healthy again, and all the test results are good. The Liu family who sells morning tea on our street has taken a liking to Xiufang."

"Ah?" Liu Meilan was stunned. "Sister Xiufang? The Liu family has two sons. Which one are you talking about?"

Aunt Yu replied, "The eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Chuanqiang, his wife passed away two years ago. The family has a son, and Mrs. Liu has been worried about finding a wife for Chuanqiang. But she is almost thirty-six years old, and she hasn't found a suitable one yet."

"We were shopping together at the market, and I saw that Xiufang was hardworking, capable, and polite. I fell in love with her at first sight. Knowing that I was familiar with Xiufang, she asked me to propose marriage."

Hearing this, Liu Meilan was stunned. "Aunt Yu, Sister Xiufang has just recovered and has just adapted to life here. Don't tell Sister Xiufang yet. Let me ask her tentatively."

"Meilan, what do you want to ask me?" Zhang Xiufang said with a smile, carrying the basin over. When she smiled, she had thick eyebrows and big eyes. She was 1.7 meters tall, which was very tall on the island.

The average height of the locals is about 1.5 meters. Some women are a little taller, but rarely exceed 1.7 meters.

Liu Meilan was stunned and smiled awkwardly, "Since we've met, I'll tell you why Aunt Yu came..."

Zhang Xiufang was stunned when she heard this. "How long have I been here and someone is already proposing marriage to me?"

"It's a short time, it doesn't matter. I can see that you are hard-working and down-to-earth." Aunt Yu smiled and said, "Chuan Qiang has a child, and you also have one. The age difference is not much, how about you two go out together?"

Zhang Xiufang smiled and said, "Aunt Yu, thank you for making this trip for me, but I'll tell you something directly, so you don't have to make extra trips and waste your time."

"I have always had Chongyang's father in my heart, and there is no room for other men. I will stay with Jianguo for the rest of my life. With a man as upright as him, I can't look down on other men."

"Besides, I had surgery to remove such a large tumor from my uterus. No one knows if it will continue to grow in the future. I will most likely not be able to have children."

"If a reconstituted family doesn't have a child, the family can't be complete. When the time comes, I will side with my son and the other party will side with his son. Any quibbling is just calculation."

"There will be a lot of family conflicts. The doctor said I can't get angry. I feel very happy now. Meilan gave me a job, and the Liu family is the support for Chongyang and me."

"As long as I work hard and raise Chongyang into a man, Meilan will also pay for my social security, and I will have a pension in the future to support myself. Even if remarriage has many advantages, I don't want to remarry."

Aunt Yu felt sorry when she heard what Zhang Xiufang said. "The Liu family's morning tea shop is doing very well. They are very rich. If you marry them, you won't suffer any hardship or loss."

Zhang Xiufang smiled and said, "I know that the family you praised, Aunt Yu, must be a good family, but I don't want to remarry. My previous parents-in-law and brother-in-law were the hardships of my life."

"I have finally jumped out of the fire pit and escaped from the complicated interpersonal relationships. I feel relieved now. Grandpa Liu is generous, Meilan is kind, and Professor Xie is gentle. I feel at ease."

"Although Chongyang is still young, I can see that he is very happy now. I don't want to change Chongyang's environment. I don't want him to have to face strangers and adapt again because of my remarriage."

Zhang Xiufang, who graduated from junior high school, is considered educated in the countryside.

While recuperating, she had already planned the rest of her life.

Determined not to remarry.

Aunt Yu nodded when she heard Zhang Xiufang say that. "Xiufang, it's good that you can think it through. Women, you have to live anyway. As long as you live happily and transparently, it's actually good not to remarry."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Many women get married to find a safe haven, but they never expected that after marriage, the storms are all caused by men. In the past, women had no jobs and relied on men to live, so they could only compromise."

"It's a new society now, and women can do a lot of things. They can make money and support themselves, so they have more choices. Especially for second marriages, they should be more cautious. Sister Xiufang, no matter what you choose, our Liu family will be your and Chongyang's support."

Zhang Xiufang smiled and said, "Thank you. I am very happy now. I have endless energy every day. I have a goal in life and I don't want to remarry."

After drinking a bowl of sugar water, Aunt Yu said goodbye and left to reply to the Liu family.

Fu Chen thought carefully about what Liu Meilan said. Is this a harbor or a storm?

In the end, I still think that as long as she stays away from her biological mother, she will be safe. As long as her mother gets involved, it will be a storm.

This point must be kept in mind.

Liu Meilan is so clear-headed. If she is not happy with him, she will definitely not want him.

After Aunt Yu left, Zhang Xiufang put the matter out of her mind.

The steamed buns made at noon were cold by the evening.

Zhang Xiufang cut the bread into slices and then fried it in oil. The aroma from the carbonic acid and hot oil was irresistible. (Photo)

There are two kinds of steamed bread slices.

There is also a kind of egg-covered steamed bread slices. (Picture)

Little Xu Chongyang ate half of the plate by himself, "Mom, I finally got to eat a big steamed bun."

Zhang Xiufang smiled and touched her son's head, "I will steam buns more often in the future."

"Mom, I want to eat pancakes too." Xu Chongyang thought of the food from his hometown, pancakes wrapped with vegetables, which tasted great.

At this time, Mr. Liu asked with a smile: "Xiufang, can you make the pancakes made from mung bean flour in Tianjin? Put some fried dough in it, it's fragrant and crispy. Oh, and spread the eggs on the pancakes..."

Zhang Xiufang smiled and said, "Grandpa Liu, you are talking about Tianjin Jianbing. I can make it! My grandpa came from Tianjin. We are short of tools at home, so I will go buy a small stone mill tomorrow. If we don't have one, we can ask the blacksmith to make one for us."

Xu Chongyang's eyes lit up, "Grandpa Liu, the pancakes my mother makes are delicious."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Sister Xiufang, now that you've done it, I'll call Xiaoyu over to eat."

"Okay!" Zhang Xiufang said with a smile. She made a lot of money from making noodles. "I can also make vegetable pancakes! They are delicious for breakfast."

Liu Meilan encouraged, "We don't have so many taboos in our family. We only have one principle: as long as it tastes good, we like it."

Zhang Xiufang was very happy to be recognized and felt full of energy.

After dinner, we moved our stools and went to the small square to watch a movie together.

Who knew that just as she sat down, she saw an old woman spit at Zhang Xiufang, "Pah!"
