Chapter 211 Lazy Daughter-in-law - Each Lives His Own Life
After hearing what Ji Lerong said, Fan Datian waved his hand and said without waiting for his wife to say anything:
"No, no, that would be a big deal. We live our own lives. Besides, when we are older and our two children are adults, we will move back to the village. Young people have different living habits from us, and living together will disturb each other."
After hearing what the other party said, Ji Lerong's smile became more sincere, and she praised:
"You two elders have worked so hard. The two children have been brought up so well. They are obviously sensible and obedient."
Zhou Leng didn't say anything, but smiled and nodded, acknowledging the other person's gaze.
Fan Datian was praised by the other party and said proudly:
"Of course not. Our two oldest grandsons will definitely have great prospects in the future. Our youngest grandson ranks first in his grade every year, and our oldest grandson is also among the best. It's possible that he will be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University in the future. Just thinking about it makes me happy. Our two old people's hard work will not be in vain."
Ji Lerong looked at the two children and praised:
"You are so great. You will definitely go to a good university in the future." Although she said this, she didn't think so in her heart. Her two sons were both in college and would get married and have children in the future. She didn't want to be the one who was taken advantage of.
The two children smiled shyly.
The family chatted awkwardly for about an hour, and then Fan Chao and Ji Lerong left.
Since they lived in the same residential area, Fan Chao and Ji Lerong walked back to their respective homes after leaving Fan's house.
There were some dim street lights on the roadside and a woman's warm voice was beside him. Fan Chao actually felt that the years were peaceful and his life was rich.
Ji Lerong's voice was gentle and she said cheerfully:
"Your two children have been well educated by the old man, but I have a concern."
Fan Chao patted the woman's hand on his arm and asked:
"worry about what?"
Ji Lerong said in an uneasy tone:
"These two children have lived with their grandparents since they were young. When we get married, we can bring them to live with us. Will your parents feel empty? After all, many elderly people regard their children as spiritual support. If you take the children away rashly, don't let them get sick. Otherwise, bring the whole family to live with me."
Fan Chao was moved and kissed the woman's forehead. He said gratefully:
"Rongrong, you are so thoughtful. But you are so well off and don't mind me being a second marriage. I can't shamelessly bring my whole family to live with you. I would feel ashamed living there. But I will work hard to give us a better life. Let the two children live with my parents first. They will also keep me company. What you said makes sense. If I take the children away directly after so many years, the old couple will not be able to accept it for a while."
Ji Lerong seemed to be embarrassed and said:
"Well, I originally wanted to have a good relationship with the two children. After all, I have never been married and I don't know how to get along with children. I thought it would be a good opportunity to have a good relationship with the two children. When we have our little princess in the future, the two brothers can also take her out to play. How great is that."
Fan Chao held the woman's hand tightly and said with emotion:
"I'm just so lucky to have met you. It really took all my efforts."
When Ji Lerong heard the man say this, she responded enthusiastically:
"Me too, I'm lucky too."
The intimate figures of the two slowly walked away.

On the second night, Fan Chao went home to discuss his marriage with his family of four.
When Fan Chao announced that he was going to get married, the four members of the family had different reactions.
Fan Datian was afraid to spend any more money on the wedding.
Zhou Leng and Fan Qiheng both looked calm and as if it had nothing to do with me.
Fan Qitian looked at his father somewhat unhappily, but did not say anything.
Fan Datian said directly:
"I think you are too anxious to get married now. You have only known each other for a short time. Do you know what his family does and what his character is like? Maybe he saw that you run a courier service and thought you are rich, so he came to marry her. Otherwise, she must be crazy to marry you since you are a man with two sons."
After listening to his father's words, Fan Chao's face darkened and he said:
"Dad, what are you talking about? Rongrong doesn't mind me having two children. She even said she wants to take the children over to live with us. But you belittle me like this. Aren't you just afraid of spending money? I saved some money myself. Rongrong also said that it's not easy for you to raise children. You may not have much money left. She will pay for the wedding. I just need to buy her the three golds. Are you trying to cheat me out of money?"
Fan Datian turned his head to look at Zhou Leng, as if asking: "Is there really such a fool? What does she want?"
Zhou Leng looked at the man who was excited about having a wife and asked:
"You are already so old, we have no right to control whether you get married or not. Since this is your second marriage, we have no obligation to pay for your wedding. I only want to ask you, what are you going to do with these two children? We are old and can no longer take care of them. After you get married, you can live alone with your two children. Your father and I will return to the village to take care of them in their old age."
Fan Chao recalled Ji Lerong's words and shouted:
"Do you think we don't want to take the kids away? Rongrong loves the two kids very much. We're just worried that you'll have no spiritual support. If you agree, I'll go discuss the wedding with Lerong. You're still young, why are you thinking about retirement? Isn't that delicatessen doing well? You still think the money is too much."
The other three people turned their heads to look at Zhou Leng, waiting for the person in charge to make a decision.
Zhou Leng said:
"If you want to get married, then get married. But you need to make things clear about the two children. If you want to take care of the children yourself, then tell your wife clearly. If you still want us to take care of them, then you have to pay child support every month. We two old people are very kind to you."
Fan Chao's face was filled with resentment and shame, two very different emotions appearing on one person's face.
Fan Qiheng changed his usual silence at this time, and shouted excitedly:
"That's great. I will have a new mother in the future and I can live with mom and dad. That's great. Dad, I want to go to your and my new mother's home today. I will be obedient and sensible and let my new mother know how welcome we are."
Fan Chao stretched out his hand and said:
"Come, my good son, go to the new house with me to sleep today." He said to Zhou Leng:
"Mom, I will discuss what you said with Rongrong."
Fan Qiheng turned around and saw his grandmother's understanding eyes, his grandfather's confused gaze and his brother's tearful look of abandonment, and he stuck out his tongue.
Fan Chao returned to his 'love nest' with the 'good news' and 'good son'. When he told Ji Lerong about the content of the conversation and his plan to move in with his two children in the future, Ji Lerong's well-maintained smile froze on his face.
