Chapter 793: Chapter 791: Got Married?

The car drove all the way, and the old lady boasted all the way.

By the time the jeep stopped at the Jiang family’s doorstep, it had alarmed all the Jiang family members.

The houses in the countryside weren’t soundproof, and all the Jiang family members, curious at the sound of the car outside, came out to see what was happening.

Sun Lixia, always the most credulous, was the quickest to come out, and when she saw a jeep parked at her own doorstep, she was beside herself with excitement.

What kind of important person had come to her home? Could it be another interview with Jiang Mianmian? Could she make it into the newspaper this time? In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Sun Lixia’s mind.

After the car stopped, Zhang Guihua was the first to get out, followed by Jiang Mianmian’s family. Fang Zhiyuan had difficulty with his legs, so he sat in the passenger seat, and after Yu Cheng got out, he hurried over to open the door for his uncle.

“Mom, big brother, did you come back in a jeep?” Sun Lixia asked in shock when she saw them.

“Yes, Yu Cheng was worried we’d be cold, so he specially found a vehicle for us. This kid is just so considerate,” Zhang Guihua said, heaping endless praise on Yu Cheng as she watched him.

While Zhang Guihua was showing off, Jiang Dashan also walked out of the house.

Seeing this, Jiang Changhai smiled and introduced Fang Zhiyuan, “Zhiyuan, this is my dad. Dad, this is Yu Cheng’s uncle, Fang Zhiyuan.”

Fang Zhiyuan smiled and extended his hand for a handshake upon seeing Jiang Dashan, “Uncle Jiang, hello, just call me Zhiyuan. It’s presumptuous of us to come visit like this, sorry for the intrusion.”

“Zhiyuan, my boy, you’re too polite – what intrusion? You all coming over is a joy for me, not a burden! Come on, let’s go inside and talk,” Jiang Dashan said, and after shaking his hand, didn’t let go, pulling him straight into the house.

The other Jiang family members noticed Fang Zhiyuan was dressed plainly but had an extraordinary appearance and air, and they all knew he must be no ordinary person. And, of course, thinking of Yu Cheng’s background, they knew his uncle must be even more impressive.

The couple from the Third Branch, seeing another influential person visiting their home, started calculating in their minds, planning to instruct their sons to sweet-talk and hopefully leave a good impression on Yu Cheng’s uncle later.

The old lady, seeing the driver helping with their things, enthusiastically grabbed him, insisting on keeping him for a meal. After the driver courteously declined and said goodbye to Yu Cheng, he drove off.

The other Jiang family members were also curious and followed Jiang Dashan into the house; they all wanted to know who Yu Cheng’s uncle was.

Just as Zhang Guihua was about to enter the house, she was grabbed by the villagers who had followed the car.

“Hey, Auntie Guihua, don’t be in a hurry to go inside,” the villagers caught hold of Zhang Guihua’s arm, prying into her business.

“What is it? We have a distinguished guest at home, I need to go inside and entertain,” Zhang Guihua said, somewhat impatiently.

“Oh, come on, the guest is inside. It wouldn’t hurt to talk with us for a bit before you go back, right? You can tell us about this guest of yours. Why did they come to your house during the New Year?”

“Yeah, he is really good-looking. Auntie Guihua, how old is he? Is he married?” the youthful village girls asked Zhang Guihua, blushing and a bit embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guihua knew exactly what they were getting at. She pulled her arm free, giving them a sidelong glance, “What are you thinking? He’s Yu Cheng’s uncle, his real uncle, and people from Capital City at that. How could he possibly look for a match in our village? Stop dreaming.”
