Chapter 527: Why Should Gu Qingyao Be So Popular?

Zhou Ping’s tone was chilly. “You don’t know the boy’s family situation. There are so many children in his family, all belonging to his older brother. They all depend on him to support them! I heard there are another two children from his sister-in-law’s side of the family. Six boys all dependent on him. Of course, he has to be good to Yao Yao.”

“Six?” The neighbor’s eyes widened.

Zhou Ping said, “That’s right! His brother and sister-in-law are no longer around, so the children are all dependent on him. Oh, and there’s his ailing and aged mother. You can imagine what a family like that is like. I heard that no girl in their hometown is willing to marry him. They’re all avoiding him.”

Neighbor: “…”

She nodded. “In that case, things are indeed difficult in that family. Your niece is so nice and so pretty. It will be a pity to marry him!”

Zhou Ping immediately felt better. She laughed and said, “She has no choice. She was engaged earlier, and it’s too late for regrets.”

The neighbor thought for a moment. “Well, although this doesn’t sound nice, have you thought about… breaking off the engagement? After all, she’s still so young. This… is a little unkind, but how can you bear to let a fair and delicate little girl that you raised suffer in another family?

“If you like, I can recommend another match! My nephew has a good job and lives in the city! He is the only child in his family, and they have no burdens at all. His parents both work. How about that?”

People who lived in this apartment block were all fairly well off. Or at least, they definitely had one member with a good job.

Coincidentally, this neighbor was also quite well off. Although she was a housewife, her husband and son had good jobs. She had a young daughter and her burdens were not great, so they lived quite well.

She had also come from a well-to-do family. Her older brother and sister-in-law were doing even better.

In these times, this boy would be considered as very outstanding.

Zhou Ping’s expression immediately darkened!

The neighbor sincerely felt that Gu Qingyao was a good girl and was exceptionally pretty!

Although she was from the countryside, her family was doing well and did not need the girl to work. She herself was a housewife, so she felt there was no shame in a woman not having a job.

When she saw that Zhou Ping’s expression had turned ugly, she thought that Zhou Ping was displeased with her unkind suggestion to break the girl’s engagement!

She immediately smiled awkwardly, “This… I mean to say that they seem to get along well. This… this fellow is pretty good! Although he has more family burdens, it’s nothing to a capable man.

“Look, he even managed to destroy the Zhang family. That shows how powerful he is. The children are all in his hometown in the countryside. He just has to send some money over. This fellow is very capable and he can afford to support them. Your niece is so nice, which man can bear to let her suffer! Hasn’t he always doted on her! Haha!”

The neighbor wanted to say something nice to reduce the awkwardness. She inwardly berated herself for letting her tongue run away.

Zhou Ping’s expression remained ugly even after so many compliments. In fact, it darkened even further. The lady was even more embarrassed.

If she had known, she would have kept quiet.

It was because she liked the girl! So she had said too much, sigh…

She must keep her tongue in check.

Zhou Ping entered the room, her expression ugly. She could not understand what was so good about a delicate girl like that.

Why did everyone like her?
