Wu Yong quickly established a relationship with his blind-date match. Both of them had clear goals and were no longer young, so neither got bogged down in trivial, insignificant matters.
The woman was named Shen Fang. Having lived through an unhappy marriage, she was now making a living on her own with her ten-year-old son, running a small street stall selling steamed buns that she made herself. Although her business was quite good, social attitudes had yet to shift in recent years, and the general public still looked down upon private business owners.
Shen Fang had not planned to remarry after her divorce, but as her business gradually began to thrive, a local hoodlum started setting his sights on her, making trouble time and again and even affecting her son. When an acquaintance mentioned Wu Yong, she decided to give it a try—just once, figuring who could possibly accept a woman with a son, especially when the man's circumstances were a hundred times better than hers. To her surprise, after just a single meeting, Wu Yong said he liked her.
