This was the first time the third sister-in-law called his name. It seemed she was truly angry, and he was very afraid. He obediently followed her out.
"Third, hurry and go see what’s happening," the mother immediately instructed her son.
"Matchmaker Yang, I’m really sorry. Perhaps we should discuss this more."
"Are you kidding me? Since when does a younger brother-in-law go on a blind date, and the sister-in-law interrupts? This is truly an oddity in the world!"
Matchmaker Yang was no longer speaking in kind terms, visibly unsatisfied, she left.
As she left, she continued, "In the future, if your family wants to talk about marriage, don’t come to me! What a waste of my time!"
After Yang Dong and Xiaoxiao left, they headed to the kitchen.
"Younger brother, what are you doing? How can you so easily throw away your own happiness?"
"My own happiness?" Yang Dong repeated silently after hearing this. My own happiness? He hadn’t thought about it.
"Don’t you want to marry a woman you like?"
Like? He didn’t know what like meant!
"Third sister-in-law, what does like feel like?"
"Like, it’s when you constantly think about her in your heart, when she’s happy you’re happy, when she’s sad you’re sad, you want to give her the best of everything! No matter if it’s in poverty or wealth, you want to spend your whole life with her."
Xiaoxiao said, with a face full of intoxication, about the feeling of liking someone.
It seemed Yang Dong understood something. He quite liked the third sister-in-law and blurted out without thinking, "Then it seems I like the third sister-in-law."
"..." Xiaoxiao was petrified when she heard this. This brat. Does he really understand or not? It’s all been for nothing.
She stepped forward, seized Yang Dong’s hand, waited a moment, and then asked, "Is your heartbeat faster?"
At that moment, Yang Ming was outside. He heard the conversation inside, heard his younger brother’s confession, saw Xiaoxiao grab his brother’s hand, and felt he might be the superfluous one. So, without waiting to hear Xiaoxiao speak, he fled in panic.
"It doesn’t seem so!" Yang Dong answered. He really didn’t feel his heartbeat quicken.
"The most important feeling of liking someone is that your heartbeat inexplicably quickens when you see her. Understand?"
"Yes, I understand, third sister-in-law!"
"If two people who marry cannot like each other, they will be very pained their whole lives, so you have to find someone you like and who also likes you, understand? You are still young, we’re not in a hurry, we can choose slowly! So don’t just decide , okay?"
Xiaoxiao was truly worried. She herself was a very good example, and she wanted her younger brother-in-law to carefully choose. She truly regarded Yang Dong as her own younger brother.
Yang Dong was finally persuaded, and the two of them returned to the room where everyone was waiting.
"Mother, there’s no need to rush the marriage for the fourth brother; he’s still young. Rest assured, I will definitely help him find a good wife."
As soon as Xiaoxiao returned to the room, she made her stance clear, no longer with any hint of the anger from before, her face all smiles.
"Mother, I’ll listen to the third sister-in-law!" Yang Dong also made his position known.
Yet, everyone in the room was unsettled. Their concerns grew even larger. Well, who knows how things will develop from here.
Xiaoxiao turned to look at her nominal husband. Huh, what’s gotten into him? He was quite happy just a moment ago, so why the long face now? Men’s hearts, a needle in the sea!
After Yang Ming returned, he was distracted, dwelling on the conversation his wife and younger brother just had. The more he thought about it, the more he believed he shouldn’t be too selfish. Maybe enabling them was the best choice. His younger brother’s happiness was happiness too, especially since they already had children.
