"Chunying, I heard Feifei went on a blind date? How did it go?" Sun Dajie approached Gao Chunying after seeing her finish her tasks.
"It was alright. Jian Guo and I think the young man is not bad; we know his background, so we decided to let them get to know each other first," Gao Chunying replied cautiously, not wanting to get her hopes too high.
Then, Gao Chunying casually asked Sun Dajie, "How did you find out that Feifei went on a blind date?"
She found it strange; she hadn’t mentioned Feifei’s dating situation to anyone, so how did Sun Dajie know?
"I heard it from Wang Dazui. It’s not something that can’t be shared," Sun Dajie explained.
Gao Chunying realized it was indeed him. When they left, Wang Dazui had been peeking through their window.
She hadn’t told anyone because she was worried the date might not go well, but now that both sides were interested, there was no need to hide it anymore.
"I knew it was him; he’s the most talkative in our courtyard," Gao Chunying said.
"Well, we’ve been neighbors for so many years; how could we not know him?" Sun Dajie chuckled.
"True, he can be a bit chatty, but he doesn’t mean any harm," she added with a smile.
"I know. Everyone in our courtyard is pretty good. Although there are some minor conflicts from time to time, we don’t have any major issues," Gao Chunying said gratefully.
"Exactly! Just next door, they had another fight yesterday. They said the child from the Lao Kou family stole some braised ribs from the Zhang family."
"The two families argued fiercely. One said their child didn’t understand better, while the Lao Kou family insisted that they shouldn’t be quarreling over a child."
"The Lao Kou family retorted that if a child steals at three, they’ll steal gold at seven; their child would end up in prison and demanded compensation for the ribs."
"Others in the courtyard chimed in too, and it wasn’t until an elder from their courtyard called someone from the street committee that things calmed down," Sun Dajie recounted.
"It really is outrageous over there. They fight every few days. It’s a pity I missed the excitement yesterday because I was at work," Gao Chunying lamented.
"Hehe, I went to watch yesterday; it was quite entertaining," Sun Dajie said. She usually didn’t work and was always present whenever there was commotion.
"I went too! If you ask me, the Lao Kou family had a point; that kid from the Zhang family is indeed spoiled. He’s already ten years old and still stealing food from others."
"And I heard this isn’t the first time for him; almost everyone in the big courtyard has been a victim of his thefts."
"It’s always just a piece of cake or a couple of candies, so no one made a big deal out of it."
"But this time he stole an entire plate of braised ribs from the Lao Kou family."
"Those ribs were specially bought to treat his son’s new girlfriend."
As a result, the children from the Lao Zhang family ended up stealing some food, and now the Lao Kou family was in a bind. Liu Fang overheard their conversation and joined in.
"If I couldn't eat it either, that would be a real shame. It's pork ribs! It's so hard to buy meat these days," she lamented. "If it weren't for entertaining guests, I wouldn't even want to eat it myself, but now someone has stolen it."
Anyone would be upset in this situation, especially since it was meant for the future daughter-in-law. If he took it, what would the daughter-in-law eat? There wouldn’t be any meat or vegetables left; wouldn’t she think that the boy's family doesn’t value her?
"What if this causes a rift in their relationship?" Hao Chunying added.
To be fair, Hao Chunying's worries were not unfounded. In fact, the son from the Lao Kou family had indeed broken things off with his partner over this very issue.
