As for the labor offered right at her doorstep, the old lady wouldn’t refuse. "That’s wonderful, but how come you have time to visit today?"
Ever since the girls had entered the room, their eyes had never left Fang Zhiyuan, who was sitting on the side reading a book. Hearing Zhang Guihua’s question, they glanced at Sister-in-law Wanyu and casually said, "We missed Sister-in-law Wanyu and came to see her."
Since they had said so, Su Wanyu didn’t expose them and went along with a few phrases of conversation.
Jiang Mianmian was sitting on a small stool, holding a book about solar technology, secretly listening to her mom and the girls’ awkward chat.
Although she had never been in love in her previous life, she had watched plenty of youth idol dramas. The little movements of these girls after entering the room had not escaped her eyes at all; it seemed their purpose for coming here was not pure.
Jiang Mianmian lifted the book slightly to hide her smile and just used her big, round eyes to take a peek at the several shy and timid girls, and then at Fang Zhiyuan immersed in his book, her face sporting a look of amusement.
Yu Cheng, sitting next to her, chuckled lightly and ruffled her head saying, "You little imp!"
"Um, Brother Yu..." Jiang Mianmian put down the book and looked at Yu Cheng accusingly.
Yu Cheng, with a stern face, pointed at her book. "Focus on your book, kids shouldn’t wander in their thoughts."
Seeing that her enthusiastic nosiness had been seen through, Jiang Mianmian playfully stuck out her tongue at Yu Cheng and quickly set up her book to read seriously.
Yu Cheng had also long realized what the girls were thinking, but he wouldn’t comment on his uncle’s private life.
Before the few girls could speak much, several more women about the same age as Zhang Guihua arrived, though many of them were not regular visitors to the Jiang family.
After entering the room, they also occasionally looked at Fang Zhiyuan, their faces revealing satisfied smiles.
The first few young girls to arrive were helping with chores around the Jiang family’s place, while stealing glances at the handsome and scholarly Fang Zhiyuan.
When they noticed Fang Zhiyuan looking their way, they were all shyly bowing their heads, continuously fidgeting with the dough in the basin.
Zhang Guihua, seeing them , gave the girls’ hands a few painful smacks. "Hey, put down the dough. Why are you wasting food? Do you know how much flour costs per pound? If you ruin my dough, I won’t forgive you, you lasses."
The girls, already shy, turned crimson instantly as Zhang Guihua scolded them in front of the whole room, especially since Fang Zhiyuan had also heard and was smiling at them.
Seeing Fang Zhiyuan’s smile, their hearts thumped wildly, feeling like they were about to leap out.
All the members of the Jiang family were not foolish; the behavior of the girls was so obvious that anyone with eyes could see it.
But no one blamed the village girls; as they had grown up, they had never seen a youth like Fang Zhiyuan who was both refined and good-looking. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel•fire.net
His sudden appearance in Stone Bridge Village drove everyone to adoration.
It is no exaggeration to say that just yesterday, as Fang Zhiyuan alighted from the car, all the females in the village, from eight to eighty years old, liked him.
Especially those girls in the full thrall of first love, as soon as they saw him, they felt joy, and if he glanced their way, their hearts raced as if they were about to have a heart attack and die.
