Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

"Good child, actually, ever since Grandma first met you, she has never treated you like an outsider. I've always thought, 'Such a good child as Shazhu, it would be wonderful if he could be my grandson-in-law...'"

Grandma Feng Ting took a sip of the hot soup He Yuzhu brought, then looked up and spoke, her gaze fixed directly on her granddaughter Feng Tingnai beside the hospital bed.

Chapter 301 Feng Ting Makes a Breakup

He Yuzhu was speechless for a moment after hearing what Grandma Feng Ting said, and his eyes secretly glanced at Feng Ting.

"Um... it's time for the hospital to provide hot water. I'll go get some water first, so it won't be inconvenient to wash up tonight..."

Feng Ting knew this topic was directed at her, so she quickly looked away, grabbed the water bottle, and ran out of the ward.

"Sigh, this child, I'm not worried about anything else, it's just her marriage..."

"Grandma, you're overthinking it. Feng Ting is such a good catch, she'll be fine whether she falls in love or gets married in the future."

"Her qualifications are not bad, but her judgment in people is poor..." 703

Grandma Feng shook her head helplessly and continued eating from her rice bowl.

"Ah... what are you doing here?"

Feng Ting had just reached the corner of the corridor with her water bottle when she was startled by Wang Tong's sudden appearance.

"Is that even a question? I missed you! You haven't been to school these past two days, and I couldn't find you at your doorstep, so I had no choice but to come here to look for you!"

Wang Tong said with a big smile, and then pulled Feng Ting into his arms.

"Oh dear, so many people are watching... It's such a bad influence... And you've come all this way to the hospital, why don't you go in and see Grandma?"

Feng Ting awkwardly broke free from Wang Tong's embrace and asked somewhat unhappily.

"Why go in? Your old lady doesn't like me anyway. If you buy a bunch of stuff and then get disliked, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?"

"She likes those frugal, simple, and poor guys. I saw that He something-or-other just bringing you food again. That guy is really attentive. Could he still be harboring feelings for you?"

The moment Grandma Feng Ting was mentioned, Wang Tong's expression immediately changed, and he curled his lip in disdain.

"That's my grandma, how can you talk like that? Besides, she's just trying to help me, afraid that I'll choose the wrong person and have an unhappy marriage. What did she do wrong?"

"As for Chef He, he came to help cook because he heard that my grandmother was sick. How could he be as bad as you make him out to be?"

Grandma remained the main source of conflict between Feng Ting and Wang Tong, and at this point, Feng Ting's emotions worsened.

"No, no, you two haven't been in contact for so long, how did he know your mother was hospitalized?"

"My grandma wanted to eat Master He's sponge cake, so I went to look for him at the factory gate..."

As she said this, Feng Ting couldn't help but feel a little guilty, after all, she had promised Wang Tong that she would no longer have any contact with He Yuzhu.

"Feng Ting, Feng Ting, listen to yourself, aren't you hilarious?"

"If you're saying your grandma wants some fancy delicacy and this guy surnamed He has to make it, I'll accept that. But who can't make a simple sponge cake? I might even make it better than him..."

"Can't you see through your grandma's little scheme? She just wants you to spend more time with this guy surnamed He so she can get rid of me, right?"

Although Wang Tong's words were harsh, they were all true.

"Wang Tong, if that's how you put it, then I really have nothing more to say to you."

"What do you mean?"

“I don’t think we’re a good match. We’ve had a lot of conflicts since we got together. My grandmother is the most important family member to me. You can’t get along with her. We’re just not meant to be.”

After saying that, Feng Ting turned around and walked towards the ward.

"So, you, Feng Ting, I knew this day would come. You're just a fickle, promiscuous woman. I, Wang Tong, was blind!"

Watching Feng Ting's resolute departure, Wang Tong launched a verbal attack on her without warning... Feng Ting burst into tears, but this incident allowed her to see Wang Tong's true colors and completely lose faith in him.

"You're back! I was just about to make Grandma some egg soup."

"Huh...didn't you get any hot water?"

He Yuzhu happily took the kettle from Feng Ting, only to find that it was light and empty, with no hot water at all.

“No…no…”

Feng Ting bit her lip, afraid that her tears would fall and her grandmother and He Yuzhu would notice something was wrong.

"It's alright, I'll go take another look."

He Yuzhu is usually a careless person, but he still noticed that Feng Ting's eyes were red, so he took the water bottle and went out without saying a word.

"Look at Shazhu, he's such an honest and reliable kid. He saw that my hand was uncomfortable after the IV drip, and he fed me rice spoonful by spoonful."

As soon as He Yuzhu stepped out of the ward, Grandma Feng Ting praised him to Feng Ting again.

"He...is indeed a good person...2.1."

Feng Ting paused, her eyes vacant as she spoke. This surprised Grandma greatly, as it was the first time in a long time that she had heard Feng Ting praise He Yuzhu.

"You've finally come to appreciate what's good about others!"

"Putting everything else aside, just looking at Shazhu's filial piety, Grandma knows this child is no bad."

"And look at your so-called Tong... I don't believe he didn't know Grandma was in the hospital after you haven't been to work for so many days, but that kid didn't even show his face. He's not a reliable person at all!"

Grandma Feng wanted to strike while the iron was hot and continued to criticize Wang Tong.

Chapter 302 Feng Ting and He Yuzhu's Relationship

Grandma Feng Ting often belittled Wang Tong and praised He Yuzhu in front of Feng Ting, but Feng Ting had long been used to it.

"Grandma... I... Wang Tong and I have actually broken up..."

Feng Ting paused, then turned to face her grandmother, speaking with unusual firmness. The fact that she could muster the courage to tell her grandmother about the breakup proved that there was no hope of salvaging her relationship with Wang Tong.

"Stop trying to fool Grandma. I've told you so many times, but you still can't bear to break up with him. Are you trying to shut Grandma up?"

"No, Grandma, I have indeed broken up with Wang Tong."

"this......"

Feng Ting was raised by her grandmother from a young age. She knows Feng Ting well, and this look in her eyes is definitely not a lie.

“Master He is indeed a good person. From today onwards, I want to listen to you and try to get along with him.”

Before Grandma could even react, Feng Ting spoke up.

"what......"

Just then, He Yuzhu entered the room carrying a kettle, and Feng Ting's words almost made him slip and fall.

"Silly child, what are you daydreaming about? Come in quickly!"

Seeing He Yuzhu's clumsy appearance, Grandma Feng Ting couldn't help but laugh, which made Feng Ting's face turn red with embarrassment.

"Tingting, you were talking to Grandma just now, so why did you shut up as soon as Shazhu came in? This is between the two of you, talking to Grandma won't help!"

Grandma Feng nudged Feng Ting, who was standing next to her, and said happily that her long-cherished wish was finally about to come true.

"Master He, I...I want to try being with you...You must have heard me before you came in..."

This was the first time in Feng Ting's life that she had taken the initiative to say such things to a man. Her face turned red, and she was really embarrassed.

"I...of course I'd like to! But...aren't you and your colleague...dating? I just saw him in the hallway when I went to get water..."

He Yuzhu scratched his head, somewhat confused.

“He… I just saw him when we broke up… Master He, you can rest assured that now that we’ve broken up, I won’t contact him again except for necessary work-related interactions.”

Feng Ting said firmly.

"Silly Zhu, you silly child! Tingting has already said so, why are you still standing there!"

Seeing He Yuzhu standing there dumbfounded, Grandma Feng Ting said anxiously.

"Then... I'll take you home in a bit. I'll stay here with Grandma tonight."

He Yuzhu also had his shy moments. He bit his lip and made arrangements somewhat embarrassedly.

"Master He, you've already worked a long day and then come here to cook, you're already exhausted enough, how can we let you stay here all night!"

"Um... now she's not just your grandma, she's mine too. This is what I should do..."

He Yuzhu smiled sheepishly, realizing he had assumed the role of Feng Ting's boyfriend.

"Alright! Sha Zhu will keep me company!"

“Tingting, you’ve been with me for a day and a night without sleep. Go back and get some sleep. It’s not appropriate for you to take leave from school every day. You should go check on things tomorrow.”

Looking at the scene before her, Grandma Feng Ting was very satisfied and happily helped with the arrangements.

After saying that, He Yuzhu cleaned up the tableware he had just delivered, first safely taking Feng Ting home, and then returning to the hospital to stay with her. Although he had been running around all day and was indeed tired, He Yuzhu felt like he had been injected with adrenaline, and inexplicably he had won over the goddess of his dreams.

"Da Mao, why are you back so late?"

"This afternoon, an older woman went to buy fish, and I went with her and bought some cheap small fish. I braised half of them for you, and made some fish soup with the other half!"

"Just take off your dirty clothes and leave them aside. I'll wash them for you after I finish eating."

"I heard the work in this workshop is really tiring. You came back looking dejected. You must be exhausted. How are you getting along with your new colleagues?"

Lou Xiao'e stood at her doorstep like a waiting stone, waiting for Xu Damao for a long time before he finally returned.

She eagerly approached Xu Damao, chattering incessantly to curry favor with him. But Xu Damao acted as if he didn't hear her, completely ignoring Lou Xiao'e and sitting down at the table by himself.

Although he didn't want to talk to Lou Xiao'e, he had to admit that dinner was quite plentiful.
