Chapter 219 – How to Win a Girl

Translator: Lonelytree

Once Zeng Yaozu returned home, Grandpa Zeng asked eagerly, “Eldest grandson, how is it?”

Zeng Yaozu’s face turned red as he said, “I talked to her a lot today.”

“This is progress. It’s a good thing!” Grandpa Zeng was delighted when he heard that. He immediately asked curiously, “What did you guys talk about?” His eldest grandson was finally enlightened.

Zeng Yaozu said with a red face, “I said she’s cute! Her face was red. She’s really cute.”

“…” Grandpa Zeng asked, “That’s all you said?”

“I told the Auntie in the shop that I would work there for free too.” Zeng Yaozu recalled.

Grandpa Zeng suddenly felt so disappointed. He pointed angrily at Zeng Yaozu and cursed, “How can I have such a stupid grandson? You don’t even know how to pursue a girl! Don’t ever say you’re Zeng Qingguo’s grandson! With how slow you’re moving, when will I be able to hold a great-grandson?”

His eldest grandson could do many things, but he shut down around girls. Plus, due to his normal way of dressing, many girls were scared and didn’t dare to approach him. As a result, his eldest grandson hadn’t been in any serious relationship. Actually, there were girls who showed interest in Zeng Yaozu for his background, but the young man didn’t like them. He liked girls who were simple, kind, gentle, and beautiful. However, his unconventional way of dressing wouldn’t attract girls like that.

Zeng Yaozu blushed at his Grandpa’s rebuke, and his handsome face looked a little aggrieved. He honestly didn’t know how to pursue a girl.

Grandpa Zeng thought for a moment and waved his hand. “Forget it. I’m going to help you. I’ll probably die first if I wait for you.”

“Grandpa!” Zeng Yaozu was scared when he heard this. “You’re going to scare her away!”

“I’m going to scare her away?” Grandpa Zeng stared at his eldest grandson and pointed at his nose in disbelief. “What do you mean?”

Zeng Yaozu was silent.

Grandpa Zeng pinched Zeng Yaozu by his ears. He cursed loudly, “You Little Brat, how dare you doubt your Grandpa? Do you know how many tricks I’ve done to get your Grandma to agree to marry me? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be standing here today.”

Zeng Yaozu hugged, “Grandpa, but that’s between you and Grandma. How can you use the same tricks to get a granddaughter-in-law? Do you think it’s reasonable for you to use those outdated tricks to help your grandson woo a girl?”

Grandpa Zeng really wanted to smack his grandson’s head open. How could someone so stubborn ever win a girl? He said he’d help him, but when did he say he’d use the same methods from years ago? He was furious.

As soon as Zeng Yunbing returned home, he saw the old man twisting his son’s ear. “Dad, what did Zu ‘Er do wrong this time?”

Grandpa Zeng said, “Let me tell you, this young man is ridiculous! He said he fell in love with Xiao Xinxin at first sight and wanted to pursue her. We have both agreed. But how did he go about doing that? He couldn’t even speak properly around the girl. I said I’d help him, but he looked down on me instead. How can I have such an ignorant grandson? He must have inherited it from you. You were quite dumb when you were young too!”

Zeng Yunbing,”…” In that case, we both inherited it from you.

Of course, Zeng Yunbing didn’t say that.

He smiled and said, “Dad, you’d better not get involved in this matter. Zu ‘Er already said he’s going to work at that shop, right? Once they get to know each other better, they’ll develop feelings over time. You should just wait and prepare for the arrival of a great-grandson!”

Grandpa Zeng argued, “But I’m too impatient. Look at how dumb this man is. When will he ever get the girl?”

Zeng Yunbing said, “Dad, one has to take things slowly when it comes to love. This is not something that can be rushed. Do you want your grandson to force himself on the girl?”

“Of course not!” Grandpa Zeng denied it without thinking. “We absolutely can’t do anything that will tarnish the girl’s reputation.”

“Indeed. So we need to give the young people some time.” Zeng Yunbing persuaded.

“But I’m just anxious.” Grandpa Zeng sighed and said, “I hope we’ll have a mistress of the house soon. That way, the house will be home.”

Grandpa Zeng gave birth to two sons and a daughter.

The eldest son was Zeng Yunbing, the director of the Bureau of Labor. Zeng Yunbing gave birth to a son, Zeng Yaozu!

Grandpa Zeng’s youngest son, Zeng Yanbing, was the director of the Bureau of Education. He gave birth to a daughter, Zeng Hongmei, who was Xiao Lingye’s classmate. He also gave birth to a son, Zeng Hongqing.

Grandpa Zeng’s children had already moved out with their families.

However, more than ten years ago, Zeng Yunbing and his wife had an accident when they were on a business trip. His wife had sacrificed her life to save him.

After that, Zeng Yunbing never married again for Zeng Yaozu. He was afraid that the stepmother would not be good to his son, and he was afraid that his son would have strong feelings of resistance. He also felt it would be a betrayal of his wife.

Grandpa Zeng decided to move back with his eldest son to take care of his eldest grandson. Other than the marriage of his eldest grandson, Grandpa Zeng also worried about the marriage of his eldest son.

He was still young. He could not stay single forever. He needed someone to take care of him.

Zeng Yunbing had refused all match-making. He wanted to wait for his son to grow up and get married first before he thought about settling down again.

Hearing the old man sighed, Zeng Yunbing smiled and said, “Dad, we all think that the girl is not bad. Most importantly, Zu ‘Er likes her. But love needs to be mutual. Zu ‘Er needs to win her over on his own. We can’t intervene too much.”

Grandpa Zeng thought about it. “You’re right.” Then he put down Zeng Yaozu’s twisted ears and sternly told Zeng Yaozu, “Zu ‘Er, love requires sincerity and hard work. You must use sincerity to move her. Then she will definitely like you.”

“Okay, Grandpa, I got it!” Zeng Yaozu nodded and said.

“Also, two people who are truly in love must never lie to each other, understand?” Grandpa Zeng reminded with a serious expression.

“Okay, Grandpa, I got it!” Zeng Yaozu nodded seriously.

“Why are you here again?” Fourth Aunt Xiao felt a headache when she saw Zeng Yaozu at the shop again. She said, “Our boss said that the shop is temporarily not recruiting people.”

This was the fifth time this had happened already. The young man sure was determined.

Zeng Yaozu anxiously said, “Aunt, where is the boss? Can I talk to her directly?”

He had to work here so that he and Xiao Xinxin could work together.

Auntie Xiao said, “Our boss is pregnant, so she rarely comes here. If you want to find her, you need to go to Taoyuan Village.”

“Taoyuan Village?!” Zeng Yauzu’s eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, “I got it. Thank you, Auntie!”

Then, he left.

Liu Chunhua, “…” If she didn’t know the young man liked Xiao Xinxin, she would have thought that he was interested in Xiao Lingyu.

Zeng Yaozu rushed to Taoyuan Village.

As he arrived at the village entrance, he saw a villager and asked, “Uncle, where does Boss Xiao Live?”

The villagers were no longer surprised by the customers coming to look for Xiao Lingyu. It happened much too often. This really made the villagers extremely envious.

So many people farmed vegetables, but they had to worry about the lack of sales. Xiao Lingyu, on the other hand, was worried about having too little to sell!

Following the instructions, Zeng Yaozu came to Xiao Lingyu’s house. However, no one appeared to be home.

Xiao Xiaohui was playing by the roadside with his friends. When he saw another customer at his second aunt’s home, he went up to ask, “Uncle, are you looking for Xiao Lingyu?”

“Uncle?” Zeng Yaozu’s eyes twitched. He nodded and said, “Yes, I am looking for Xiao Lingyu. May I ask where she is now, little friend?”

Pregnant women had to walk around for exercise.

Xiao Xiaohui said, “My eldest cousin is in the strawberry field now. Let me take you there!” Then, he called his friends and said, “I’ll take the guests to find my sister. You guys play first!”

“Little loach, let us go with you!”

Then, the group of little guys went to the strawberry farm.

Xiao Xiaohui took Zeng Yaozu to the strawberry shed and shouted, “Cousin, another customer is here!”

Zeng Yaozu was surprised to see the large patch of strawberries.

He knew that Xing Yin County’s climate and soil were not suitable for strawberries. However, the strawberries here looked very pleasant. The fruits were large. Some were green, and others were red.

Zeng Yaozu swallowed his saliva and wanted to pick a few to try. However, he was polite. He needed to ask the owner first.

He saw Xiao Lingyu with a big belly. She was squatting down. There was someone beside her supporting her. She picked a strawberry and put it in her mouth.

The strawberry is still green. Won’t it be sour?

Xiao Lingyu tried it and told her parents, “The taste now is a little sour but fragrant. We can harvest them in another two days. They’ll be sweeter then.”

Mother Xiao and Father Xiao tried a strawberry too. “Yes, they are sour now. The taste will sweeten. The sourness will mellow out then.” If this was the quality, they didn’t need to worry that the strawberries would be sour and small.

However, they had planted so many strawberries, and they still hadn’t found a buyer. According to their daughter’s projected price, finding a buyer would be a big problem. They were worried. However, they didn’t voice it lest they added to their daughter’s concern.

Xiao Lingyu said, “We can pick some tomorrow and try to sell them.”

Mother Xiao said, “But Yu ‘Er, the strawberries are still so green. They don’t look ripe yet. Can they be sold?”

Xiao Lingyu said, “Mom, although our strawberries don’t look ripe yet, their taste is the same as other strawberries. Plus, some people prefer sour strawberries. Our strawberries are a mixture of sour and sweet now.”

Mother Xiao and Father Xiao had no objections.

Up until now, Xiao Lingyu had never made a wrong decision. Therefore, they listened to her decision.

“Eldest cousin, a guest is here to see you!” Xiao Xiaohui began to shout from afar.

Xiao Lingyu and the others turned around and saw a young man who seemed to be in a daze over the strawberries. He even swallowed his saliva.

Xiao Lingyu found it funny, and she laughed.

Zeng Yaozu felt a little embarrassed, and his face turned red again.

Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “Young Master Zeng, sorry for not going to welcome you!”

Zeng Yaozu was stunned and asked in surprise, “Boss, you actually recognized me?”

“Why wouldn’t I?” Xiao Lingyu said with a smile, “Your appearance has changed, but your person hasn’t.”

Xiao Lingyu had a good memory. She would remember every person she met.

Zeng Yaozu scratched his head in embarrassment, “After I changed into this appearance, many of my friends didn’t recognize me anymore. Boss, you’ve seen me once, but you remember me.”

Mother Xiao smiled and said, “My Yu ‘Er has a good memory. She is always good with faces.”

Zeng Yaozu nodded.

Xiao Lingyu saw the way Zeng Yaozu looked at the strawberries, and she believed he liked them.

She said, “Young Master Zeng, try this strawberry and see how it tastes.”

Xiao Lingyu was right. Zeng Yaozu really liked strawberries.

He couldn’t wait to pick a strawberry and put it in his mouth..
