Pastoral Daily Life

Chapter 67

The restaurant had been open for some time, and Xiao Feng would come over from time to time to remind of himself. As time went on, Lin Mei could see what he meant.

There was no one in the restaurant this afternoon, so Wang Shuxiu sent Yi Hang upstairs to rest while she and Lin Mei chatted, keeping an eye on the shop. The conversation turned to Xiao Feng.

Lin Mei had a good impression of Xiao Feng, and had also heard good things about him. He was not the kind of man who wouldnt take responsibility. According to Lin Mei, Wang Shuxiu was still young, so she needed to find another man before it was too late. She couldnt just live alone all the time. Now there was Lu Lingxi to accompany her but in a few years Lu Lingxi would marry a wife and have a child. Even if the filial piety came first, it would be his own small family. Could Wang Shuxiu bear to live with her daughter-in-law? It was too sad to think that she would be all alone and have no one to talk to when she returned home.

Lin Mei was not idly worried, but was really concerned about Wang Shuxiu and couldnt help but take the initiative to mention Xiao Feng.

“Xiaohua, what do you think of Brother Feng?”

When she said that, Wang Shuxiu understood what she meant. The two of them usually have no qualms about talking, so Wang Shuxiu was frank: “Brother Feng is nice, but its not possible for us.”

Xiao Feng helped out several times, sent flower baskets and got people to support the business every day, and Wang Shuxiu was not a young girl who didnt know anything. She had long seen what Brother Feng meant. But because she was not a young girl who didnt know anything, she was unwilling. She had just divorced Lu Yishui and was living a promising life. Lu Lingxi was well-behaved and she didnt need a man to support her, so why should she find a man to take home and serve? Besides, Lu Yishui had harmed her for half of her life by gambling, so it was not like she was out of her mind to find a man who ran a casino.

Wang Shuxiu said it simply and Lin Mei understood Wang Shuxius scruples as soon as she thought about it. Brother Feng was a good man, but his way of earning money was not a serious job and what Wang Shuxiu found the most annoying was that it was from gambling. It seemed that it really was not good. But Lin Mei didnt give up and immediately changed her choice, “There is a Brother Tan in our neighbourhood street office, his wife passed away several years ago. He has a little daughter. He is a good man, honest and caring. I know the girl well, she is very obedient, not the kind of little girl who makes trouble. What do you think? Ill introduce you if youre interested.”

Before she could finish, Wang Shuxiu slapped the table and raised her eyebrows, “Lin Mei, you see that I am too happy with my life and have to force me to jump into the fire again, right?”

Lin Mei was used to messing with her and slapped the table even louder than Wang Shuxiu did, “Aint I doing this for your own good? Wait until Xiao Xi gets married and youll be disliked by your daughter-in-law!”

“Bah, she dares.”

Lin Mei laughed, “By the way, Xiao Xi is already eighteen, and you havent heard him say if he has a young girl he likes, huh?”
