Chapter 63: Chapter 063 Progress_1
Nan Fei was taken aback, opened her mouth to explain, but upon meeting her grandmother’s gaze, chose to keep silent! Were her and her grandmother’s thinking inverted?
“What are you standing there for?”
Nan Fei obediently sat down on the small stool, a common low stool in the countryside, only about ten centimeters off the ground. After sitting down, her long, straight legs were uncomfortable curled up, so she had to straighten them.
Guan Rufang’s profound gaze swept over Nan Fei’s legs, “Not a bad asset! How can they be so useless!”
“Grandma, your granddaughter is quite useful.”
“Then when can you conquer Bei Jiang? Don’t worry, I’m very open-minded, even unmarried pregnancy is okay, I will give my approval today, I absolutely won’t break your legs.”
Why does that sound sarcastic?
Nan Fei was embarrassed for a moment, but then thought of Huo Beijiang’s act of kissing her and bit her lip to assure, “Grandma, stop talking, Huo Beijiang has already gone back to the company.”
“So you’ve made no progress at all?” Guan Rufang roared as soon as she heard this.
The three people playing chess were as steady as a rock, their expressions more focused, as if they were witnessing a desperate battle.
“No, there is progress.”
Nan Fei was powerless against her grandmother’s assertiveness. Reluctantly she said: “Grandma, do you really want to know about my progress? Isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”
“Why is it inappropriate? I have given my approval.”
“This isn’t about approval…”
“So you’re lying to me? You haven’t made any progress at all?”
Zhuanzhuan couldn’t bear seeing her sister being oppressed by grandma and loudly spoke up for her, “Grandma, my sister has already fallen in love with her brother-in-law, really!”
“Really?” Guan Rufang asked doubtingly.
“Really, you believe me.”
“Hmm! Zhuanzhuan is a honest child, what she says is always trustworthy.”
Guan Rufang’s words almost made Nan Fei choke on her blood, but she is currently at the mercy of her grandmother. She took the initiative to reassure, “Grandma, rest assured, the next time Huo Beijiang comes back, I will put up a good performance.”
“How will you perform?”
“…” Grandma, aren’t you the one who’s reborn?
Guan Rufang knew her granddaughter was shy, so she didn’t push too hard. The result had already met her requirements, so she nodded in satisfaction, changed the subject, and no longer forced her.
“Grandma, I have something to discuss with you.” Nan Fei mysteriously pulled her out of the yard to a secluded place.
“Hehehe… I was wondering why you were so well-behaved today, turns out you want a favor from me.” Her grandmother was in a good mood and waved her hand, “Go ahead! What is it, while I’m in a good mood, just say it.”
“Grandma, I want to…” Nan Fei was quite embarrassed, hesitated in opening her mouth: “I want to borrow some money from you, in my name, not in my parents’ name.”
“Borrow money for what? How much?”
Nan Fei stretch out five fingers.
“Fifty? Why do you need so much?”
Guan Rufang widened her eyes, “Did you get into trouble? Is that why you need money?”
“No, no.” She waved her hands again and again, saying in a small voice: “I want to start a small business, but I don’t have any capital, my previous salary has all been spent on my mother’s medical treatment.”
Once the matter of borrowing money was brought up, the rest became easy to discuss.
“I want to take advantage of the time before school starts to go to the prosperous cities in the south and bring back some small goods to sell. So I need capital, but grandma, you also know our family’s situation, with so many external debts, even if I want to borrow money, I can’t.”
