After the car started, Wang Fang curiously asked Zhao Zixuan if they were going to a hotel or directly to the airport.
Zhao Zixuan hadn't ntioned that she was going to Qingpu Town to visit a college classmate, so Wang Fang naturally asked.
Zhao Zixuan hadn't planned to involve Wang Fang, but since they were sharing a ride and both headed to Qingpu Town, she had to ntion it.
Being of the sa age and having gone to the sa school from primary to middle school, plus knowing Yu Hongfen's father was well-known in town, Wang Fang was familiar with her. They would exchange greetings when they t on the street.
Of course, they weren't that close; otherwise, Wang Fang would have known that Yu Hongfen and Zhao Zixuan were college classmates.
When Wang Fang found out, she was quite surprised and readily said, "So you and Fen are college classmates, and I'm your high school classmate. What a coincidence! I'm familiar with her place, I'll take you to see her later. By the way, have you contacted Fen?"
Zhao Zixuan felt a bit helpless but replied, "Yes, I've contacted her. I'll call her when we arrive. She's waiting at Chen Feng's door; I've already arranged it with her."
"Ah, I see, then there's no need for to take you there."
Chen Feng found Zhao Zixuan's words a bit strange. Why wait at his house? He was aware of where Yu Hongfen lived, or they could just et at the town's entrance.
There's only one main road from the county into the town center, making it easy to spot soone waiting at the town entrance.
Chen Feng thought this but decided not to say anything aloud. Waiting at his door wasn't a big deal.
"Fen's doing well now. Her husband, who moved into her family, is handso and capable, and they have a son now. Her father is most pleased about this since he only has one daughter and now finally a grandson."
Wang Fang loved to talk, and now a bit drunk, she was even more loose-lipped, ntioning her husband moving in with Fen's family.
Nowadays, n moving in with their wife's family are still looked down upon, similar to how people laugh at poverty, but not at prostitution. Even if you beco rich, you're still gossiped about, just a bit more tolerated than in ancient tis.
So, the fact that Yu Hongfen's husband moved in isn't sothing talked about openly; no matter how handso or capable, it's still looked down on by many.
Yu Hongfen surely wouldn't want her college classmates to know this, but Wang Fang just blurted it out.
Sure enough, Zhao Zixuan was unaware and surprised, "Her husband moved in with her? She never ntioned it to ."
Wang Fang realized she slipped and, a bit embarrassed, said, "You didn't know? Haha, my big mouth, just pretend I didn't say anything. Don't ntion this to Fen, just keep it to yourself."
Zhao Zixuan, a little speechless, responded, "Got it."
Finally, the car quietly settled, but in less than a minute, Wang Fang couldn't help but speak again, "Her husband is really handso, I heard he graduated from a top university, just from a poor background without any connections. After graduating, he had to look all over for a job and sohow ended up at Fen's family's factory as a salesman, and that's how they t."
Zhao Zixuan agreed slightly, "Her husband is quite handso; I saw him at their wedding."
"Oh, you attended her wedding," Wang Fang was montarily surprised and then instinctively asked, "So you've been to her house?"
Zhao Zixuan quickly clarified, "I haven't been to her ho in Qingpu Town; her wedding was held at the Six Harmony Hotel in the county. I attended the wedding there, but because I was busy with work, I left on the sa day; I haven't been to Qingpu Town. Also, their wedding house is in the county, but due to work, they haven't really lived there and have been staying at her parents' place in Qingpu Town."
Wang Fang then realized, "Oh, that makes sense. Their wedding house is indeed in the county, a school district house. Her parents bought three properties in the county years ago, sold two, and still have one with her father. So her family has at least two houses in the county, and I heard her father also has a house in the city. Moreover, to make it easier for her to study in Shanghai, they bought a house there, too. You should know, being her college classmate, right?"
Zhao Zixuan nodded, "Yes, her family bought a resale apartnt near our college during our sophomore year, around seventy to eighty square ters. I went there with her a few tis, but never stayed overnight."
Wang Fang sighed, "Her dad really has an eye for investnts. Buying that house in Shanghai back in the day would surely fetch a huge profit now."
Zhao Zixuan chuckled, "Back then, if you had the money to buy property in Shanghai, it was a guaranteed profit, better than bank interest."
"Isn't that the truth? Unfortunately, us ordinary folks—oh, no, just as an ordinary person. You and Chen Feng are well-off. It's good to have money, you can do whatever, buy whatever. , with my two sons and a husband who can't earn much, we're just scraping by…"
