Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 210 Lazy Daughter-in-law - Can People Change?

It's a new year again, and Fan Chao left Kyoto and returned to his hometown to work.

It was rare for the whole family to get together, and Fan Yu only found out about all the hardships and problems at home when his younger brother came back.

Because Fan Chao had three years of work experience in Kyoto and had delivered express packages in this city for three months, he planned to open an express delivery station.

Life eventually makes those who were once arrogant realize how dangerous the world is.

This time Fan Chao did not invest blindly. He first conducted an investigation and then discussed it with his family.

Zhou Leng also went to see it several times with her adopted son. She read the franchise contract carefully and asked Fan Yu's family to accompany her on a field investigation. In the end, the whole family thought that this was feasible.

With the support of his family, Fan Chao began to select a site and carry out simple decoration for the express delivery station.

The work at an express delivery station is busy, tedious and time-consuming.

The experience has made Fan Chao more sophisticated in dealing with people and has taught him what deception and traps are. However, the thinking and personality deep in his heart that have formed a fixed working pattern are difficult to change due to external influences.

When the post station was getting on track, the rent of the small shop selling steamed buns was about to expire.

Zhou Leng looked at the money he had saved for three years. It was truly hard-earned money. In total, he had more than 200,000 yuan in his hands, including his family's savings.

This amount of money can only be used as a down payment for a house in the city. Given Zhou Leng and Fan Datian's age, banks won't even allow them to apply for a loan.

Zhou Leng had no choice but to continue her hard-working career, but this time she chose a bigger store, and their business changed from a steamed bun shop to a delicatessen.

Fan Datian no longer has any doubts about his wife's decision. After all, he has learned to compromise after being slapped in the face many times.

Zhou Leng invested all his money in the delicatessen. Running a delicatessen requires time and the approval of food lovers. Fortunately, Zhou Leng, who has experienced many lives, has the recipe for braised meat and the appreciation of food.

The busy deli left the four members of the Fan family with no time to pay attention to Fan Chao.

Fan Chao's post station is located in the residential complex where Zhou Leng and his family's new rented house is located. There are 31 high-rise residential buildings in this community, and the express deliveries of so many residents are enough for Fan Chao to handle alone.

Since the post station is also a public place, I came into contact with community staff.

Among the community staff there is a woman named Ji Lerong, who is 34 years old.

Ji Lerong has dated several boyfriends, but none of them ended up getting married. She has a younger sister at home, who is now married and has two children, while she is still single, so her parents’ urging for her to get married has come late.

Ji Lerong went on many blind dates arranged by his parents, but the other parties were either divorced with children or older and ugly men, so he never found a suitable one.

Now that she is about to turn 40, she has become anxious even though she was not in a hurry before.

Fan Chao's hard-working, quiet and non-flirtatious personality left a very good impression on Ji Lerong. Also, since she didn't see a woman around him every day, she had different thoughts.

Ji Lerong first asked someone about Fan Chao's family and personality.

Ji Lerong was very satisfied with Fan Chao's quality of being self-disciplined. She also knew that he was three and a half years younger than her, which made her a rich man. However, she felt uncomfortable with the fact that his family had two sons, so she kept the matter to herself.

Because of Fan Chao's presence as a comparison, Ji Lerong excluded from his range of possible partners those blind date candidates with beer bellies, thinning hair, and some who were financially better off but had unpleasant looks.

In the end, Ji Lerong chose to find Fan Chao.

Men chase women with a barrier, and women chase men with a veil.

When Ji Lerong expressed his love for her, Fan Chao frankly told her that he had two sons. This also became a plus point for Fan Chao in Ji Lerong's heart.

The woman's indifference and trust also made Fan Chao regain his confidence, and soon the two fell in love, an even more intense love than when he was with Qiumei.

After all, the constant praise and love from a woman who is better than himself gives a man who has been abandoned by his wife great psychological satisfaction.

In just one month, the two had already started living together.

On weekdays, Fan Chao rests on the small bed in the inn most of the time, and sometimes he spends the night there when he is busy late. Now he has moved to Ji Lerong's home.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s in love, or because love comes first, or because he forgot his mother after getting married, but Fan Chao, who fell in love again, once again became the person who used to put his lover before his parents and son.

The first time Ji Lerong and Fan Chao visited the woman was when the woman took the initiative.

The already famous 'Yumei' delicatessen has many customers every day, so if we want to meet, we can only do so at night.

Although today's delicatessen does not make a fortune every day, it earns more than the original steamed bun shop. Nowadays, the old couple is only responsible for braising the meat in the kitchen every day, the young and clean-looking waiters sell goods at the front desk, and there is also a worker who specializes in processing meat and doing odd jobs in the kitchen.

I believe that it won’t be long before our protagonist Zhou Xiaoleng will be able to escape the fate of renting a house.

***

In the two-bedroom apartment they rented, a family of four sat upright and waited. This scene happened only because Fan Chao called the day before yesterday and said that he would come to visit with his girlfriend.

The sudden appearance of this girlfriend made the four people in the family have different feelings.

Zhou Leng simply asked about the woman's occupation, age and marital history on the phone, and then said that he knew it. She thought that the other party's conditions were not bad, but that he was too good with Fan Chao. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

When Zhou Leng opened the door, he saw his adopted son dressed in casual and exquisite clothes and the smiling woman beside him. The woman was dressed simply, had a slightly plump figure, delicate features, and shrewd eyes.

After the two sides met, the other party took the initiative to say:

"Hello, Auntie. My name is Ji Lerong."

Zhou Leng smiled and replied:

"Hello, please come in. We are too busy during the day, so we asked you to come at this time."

Go into the room, close the door, change your shoes, and sit in a row.

The atmosphere was always a little awkward. The two children sat close to their grandmother. They looked at Ji Lerong curiously and nervously, then greeted him awkwardly together:

"Hello Auntie."

Ji Lerong responded with a smile, then took out gifts for the two children from his backpack.

Fan Qitian and Fan Qiheng both looked at grandma, and only accepted it when Zhou Leng nodded, saying:

"Thank you auntie."

Ji Lerong was the first to say:

"I heard from Fan Chao that you rented a house here. I think you should all move in with me. I also live in this neighborhood. I live alone in a three-bedroom house, so you can save on rent. We will be a family sooner or later anyway. My parents bought the house for me to get married."

Zhou Leng looked up at her eyes. There was no sincere invitation in them, only ruthless temptation.
