Wang Yongshan wasn’t angry about the couple’s opinion, but he felt it was a pity because the family his wife had found was indeed very good.
It was said that there were two sons in the family, not only having a hundred acres of fertile land, but also owning two small shops in their town. The boy was still studying and would take the Cultivated Talent examination next year.
So he tried to persuade Yang Dachuan, "Brother-in-law, I know that family, and they’re really good. They’re way better than Brother An you found for her. And the boy is very handsome too. When arranging a marriage, parents want to find a good match, but you two are different. You don’t want the good ones, and you just want the bad ones."
"Second Brother, what you’re saying is wrong." Ms. Wang genuinely treated Brother An as her own son, and she felt uncomfortable hearing that, so she defended him, "What’s wrong with Brother An compared to others? I know you’re bothered by his leg, but it’s not incurable. Even if it can’t be cured, it’s not a big deal. Xiaxia doesn’t want to be a high-ranking official’s wife. As long as the two of them are happy, that’s enough."
Ms. Wang’s words left her second brother speechless with a red face, thinking that his sister was stubborn and didn’t appreciate the good things. How could she be so stubborn?
Wang Yongshan didn’t have any excuse to persuade Yang Dachuan and his wife. He thought for a moment and said, "The boy is alone, without siblings or parents to support him in the future."
Upon hearing this, Ms. Wang almost laughed, "Second Brother, don’t say such things. The reason I liked Brother An in the first place was that he was alone. You don’t know Xiaxia’s temperament. Her fiery attitude is well-known in the nearby villages. Not to mention how others see her, as her mother, I know that if she gets married and has to serve her in-laws and get along with her sisters-in-law, she will definitely suffer. Brother An is different. He’s alone, so Xiaxia won’t have to face mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships. Besides, if something happens, Xiaxia still has her maternal family."
Having heard Ms. Wang’s words, Wang Yongshan had nothing more to say.
On the other side, the younger sisters were chatting idly when Wang Pingtao knocked on the door.
"Cousin, is it too boring for you in the front room?" Yang Chuxia opened the door, and seeing it was Wang Pingtao, she smiled and asked.
Wang Pingtao didn’t answer but congratulated her instead, "Big cousin, congratulations! I must congratulate you."
This Wang Pingtao didn’t know about the relationship between Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an. He had just heard his father and aunt talking about his cousin’s marriage in the front room, so he came to share the news.
"What’s there to celebrate?" Yang Chuxia didn’t understand.
So Wang Pingtao explained the situation to her, and Yang Chuxia was rendered speechless after hearing it.
As expected, after her second aunt failed to sabotage her own son, she came to sabotage her.
Wang Yunxia and her sister sensed something was amiss and worriedly asked, "Xiaxia, what should we do?"
"What should we do about what?"
"About you and Brother An?" Wang Yunlian, with her quick mouth, said.
"I have nothing to worry about since my parents won’t agree." Yang Chuxia knew her parents well. They announced their intention to arrange her marriage with Brother An in front of everyone, so it was impossible for them to renege on their word.
Besides, even if her parents agreed, she wouldn’t. Who could force her if she didn’t want to?
Wang Pingtao listened to the sisters’ conversation and had a rough idea of what was going on.
So when Ye Zi’an came back in the evening, Wang Pingtao caught him and asked him various questions.
Ye Zi’an patiently answered all of his questions one by one. Wang Yongshan, seeing his patient demeanor, thought that Zi’an was indeed a good kid, and his feeling of regret dwindled a lot.
