Chapter 256 The Eldest Sister is so Capricious (2)_1
Fang Li laughed and said, "Yes, Feng Bo! Uncle isn’t criticizing you, but you’re young and naïve now. There’s such a good opportunity right in front of you, and if you don’t seize it, once this chance is gone, there won’t be another! How many people wish for this opportunity but can’t get it!"
An opportunity for a bright future lay before him, and any normal person would choose it. If Feng Bo still said he was unwilling, it would be indefensible. Unless he made his feelings clear and expressed his wish to marry Pei Qin.
But observing Pei Qin’s attitude, she seemed indifferent to these affairs. Furthermore, she had always treated him politely, with the demeanor of an elder towards a junior, which left Feng Bo very indecisive. He was afraid of the consequences if he spoke and it didn’t work out—a result he didn’t want to admit but couldn’t help but consider.
Old Scholar Fang watched and gradually frowned.
Feng Shouxing tugged at Fang Hui, indicating they should let it go. The father-in-law was obviously planning for his grandson. If they offended him over this, it seemed unlikely the marriage would work out. Offending both sides would be bad. If Dalang really went to the town shop for a respectable position, his marriage prospects wouldn’t be too shabby afterward.
Yet Fang Hui wasn’t content. Pei Qin wasn’t so out of reach, and as her aunt by marriage, she would treat her like her own daughter. Marrying into their family, she would not suffer—what was there to disdain about a life
clearly leading to good days ahead?!
Feng Shouxing, who had been married to her for more than a decade, knew her temperament well and said with a smile, "Since there’s this opportunity, let’s let Dalang take it! After he finishes his apprenticeship and becomes a shopkeeper, it won’t be too bad!"
How could being a shopkeeper compare to being a landlord or a wealthy outsider?! Fang Hui turned her head and glared at him with wide eyes.
Feng Bo was also very reluctant. He wasn’t just thinking about wealth and status in the future; he was genuinely fond of his cousin Pei Qin and wanted to marry her.
Pei Qian watched their faces and scornfully hummed in her heart. Wait until they saw her elder sister scolding and fighting people—then they wouldn’t dare to dream!
