Fang Ya looked at the child with some heartache and walked quickly to the large woman.
“What did he do wrong today?” Fang Ya looked at the child’s sad face and asked.
The large woman spat and said, “This damn kid, he actually went behind my back and talked about those scammy books about making money!”
���Money-making books?” Fang Ya looked at the boy with some surprise.
Fang Ya knew that both sons were knowledgeable and liked to read books.
But she did not expect the younger one to be this enterprising!
The more the large woman thought about it, the angrier she became. “Not books that taught him how to make money! He just regurgitated the contents of his books to others, and the little bastard is actually charging people for it!”
Fang Ya saw that the large woman was very anxious, but she did not know how to persuade her.
Fang Ya thought to herself. It was similar to the e-books in the future of her other life. People would use this method to simplify the process of reading books, and a large number of people would pay to listen to the books. How would the large woman feel about it?
Fang Ya knew that if she said these words at this time, she would probably be treated as a lunatic by the large woman.
However, Fang Ya admired the boy’s brain. At least he could think of such ways to make money.
Fang Ya saw the large woman angrily winding up for another swing with her broom and quickly said, “I think he knows his mistake. If this matter doesn’t work out, then forget it.”
The large woman put away the broom in her hand and said fiercely, “You are lucky today. Your Aunt Fang pleaded for you!
“If I find out that you are doing these opportunistic things again, I will definitely teach you a good lesson!” As the large woman said this, she finally loosened her grip.
The boy looked at Fang Ya gratefully, almost rushing forward to hug her.
Fang Ya smiled at him and said, “It’s amazing that you can think of these tricks! It’s just that you’re still young. It’s better to wait for you to grow up before talking about these things.”
He nodded at Fang Ya. “I won’t dare to do it again in the future!”
The large woman peered at them from the corner of her eyes. After a long while, she said to Fang Ya, “I’m too busy being angry with this kid.”
“I cooked an old hen today. You can take some with you later!” As the large woman said that, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
Fang Ya quickly refused, “I’ve cooked dinner at home. I’ll go back to eat soon.”
However, the large woman still insisted, “No! I’ll go get it right away! You can take it back and have a taste!”
Fang Ya felt helpless. She could only let the fat aunt go get a jar of chicken soup and bring it home.
Fang Ya brought the chicken soup home, and Shao Xiang soon brought two plates of meat and vegetables to the large woman’s house.
The two families went back and forth like this, passing on quite a number of dishes.
Fang Ya sighed somewhat helplessly. “Why don’t we just eat together!”
The large woman clapped her hands and said, “Sure! Anyway, my husband isn’t at home today, so it won’t be lively if there’s one less person.”
Fang Ya recalled the large woman’s husband and shook her head. She thought to herself about his stiff demeanor. He was not a very lively one indeed.
Fang Ya helped the large woman pack up some food and returned to her own yard.
Although they were neighbors, Fang Ya’s yard was as big as two of the large woman’s.
Every time the large woman came to Fang Ya’s house, she would always sigh about the good environment of Fang Ya’s house.
Fang Ya knew that the large woman was not jealous, but genuinely happy for Fang Ya.
The few of them sat around the table to eat. Fang Ya took this opportunity to speak out Lin Ze’s idea of being He Peng’s tutor.
He Peng did not have any objections. In fact, he admired Lin Ze very much.
Lin Ze had always been the first in his class since primary school.
Even when he went to university, he could still get a scholarship to be the first in his grade every year.
Although the family conditions of the large woman were not ideal, Lin Ze and Lin Yi’s attendance at school had never let the large woman worry for a day.
Especially after Lin Ze went to university, he even took out subsidies from time to time to supplement his family’s expenses.
Fang Ya was even a little envious of the situation of the large woman’s family.
As she thought about it, although her two children were young, they were still obedient and sensible. Their futures were bright.
