Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although Fang Ya had obtained a lot of money from Tang Fu, she could not just sit around idly.
However, she had not been to work since she married Tang Fu, so she was not familiar with the outside world.

If she wanted to get a job that could support her and her daughter, she would need to work hard.
For the next two to three months, Fang Ya was busy taking care of her daughter while finding her a suitable kindergarten. Every single day, she was busy.
The suburbs were nothing like the city. The transportation was not convenient, but the relationship between the neighbors was much warmer.
Fang Ya had only moved there for less than a week. All the neighbors within three kilometers knew that a single mother with her own child had moved in.
Although they did not know why Fang Ya was alone, it was inevitable that rumors would spread.
The neighbor, a generously sized middle-aged woman, was a warm-hearted person. Every time she saw Fang Ya alone with her baby, she would go up and chat with her. The husband of that woman was a tall and thin man. He was silent and looked cold.
Fang Ya was not particularly fond of interacting with people. Whenever she met someone like the woman who liked to pry into other people’s privacy, she would avoid them.
The woman had two sons, one was 18 and the other was 14 years old. The two sons were tall and strong, but they did not like to talk much.
Every time the woman saw Fang Ya, she would say that there was no one in the family who could talk, and then she would talk endlessly with Fang Ya about the Zhang family and the Li family.
Although Fang Ya did not like to hear this, she could not avoid it. Through it, she quickly became familiar with the neighbors from the large woman’s large mouth.
The woman not only liked to chat with Fang Ya, but was also especially fond of Tang Tang.
Every day, she said that when Tang Tang grew up, she would definitely let one of her sons marry Tang Tang.
Fang Ya liked the woman’s two sons very much. Although the two children did not talk much, they would greet her politely when they saw her.
If they saw her in need of help, they would also do their best to help out.
Fang Ya lived in such an environment for almost half a year.
Half a year later, Tang Tang successfully entered a kindergarten, and Fang Ya began to look for a job for herself.
On one particular day, Fang Ya sent Tang Tang to the kindergarten and went home alone.
She met the woman at the door of her home, and Fang Ya took the initiative to walk over to her. “Auntie, I’ll have to trouble you with something.”
“If you have something to say, just say it! Don’t stand on ceremony!” The woman said cheerfully. Her beaming face looked warm-hearted.
“I want to find a job,” Fang Ya said with some embarrassment.
The woman looked at Fang Ya, but her face was full of confusion. “Do you need money?”
“If you need money, it’s okay. You can say it. You can make up for it with whatever you have!” The woman said seriously.
“No…” Fang Ya answered honestly, “I just want to find a job.”
The woman thought for a while and said, “I’ll have to ask around. Leave it to me!”
Fang Ya nodded her head to thank her with a faint smile on her face.
The woman looked at Fang Ya and thought to herself for a while before saying, “Fang, have you considered taking another step?”
Fang Ya looked at the woman in confusion.
“You see, Tang Tang is still young and you are still young. If you take care of her alone…” the woman hesitated for a while.
“It’s just so much work!” The woman finally voiced out her thoughts.
Fang Ya shook her head and said, “I think it’s still pretty manageable.”
The woman frowned in disagreement. “You are a woman and you have to take care of a child on your own. It’s too much!”
“You still have to find a man to rely on!” The woman said earnestly.
“How about this? I’ll help you find a job, but I’ll also keep an eye out for good men,” the woman promised solemnly.
Fang Ya wanted to refuse, but she knew that the woman only meant well.
She smiled and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
“As for the men…” Fang Ya said, pausing for a moment before saying, “Let’s leave it to fate.”
The woman smiled and patted her own chest, saying, “Don’t worry, my connections are absolutely reliable!”
“When the time comes, just don’t forget to give me wedding candies!” The woman said with a smile.
Suddenly, the woman’s husband poked his head out from his own courtyard and said expressionlessly, “The pot is burnt.”

When the woman heard this, she slapped her forehead and cried out in a low voice, “Aiya, what do I do now?!”
Before Fang Ya could respond, the woman only said, “Please go ahead!” Then she hurried back to her own yard.
Fang Ya shook her head with a smile and walked into her own yard.
