——————
When they first arrived in the county town, Little Ya would still tell Zhou Xiuhua: she didn’t want to marry anymore and would rather stay with her parents forever—
The sudden appearance of this young man surnamed Zhou, Zhou Xiuhua was genuinely surprised and delighted at the time.
After all, which family has a daughter who doesn’t want to get married? Which family understands the taste...
But before the surprise even reached her heart, the old man had a displeased look on his face—
Then, San’er even said that the man’s family background was too prominent, her husband also disapproved, so she could only stay silent.
As a mother, seeing her daughter willing to agree, her heart tilted toward her, what’s more, the meaning conveyed in Little Ya’s words was like a stab to her heart!
"Old man, we are old, how long can we stay with Little Ya? You always tell me, ’The grandchildren will have their own blessings’, this time, I’m using this phrase to persuade you. True desires are priceless, if Little Ya is willing, let’s follow her wishes, ah~"
Zhou Xiuhua glanced at Zhou Zhenghui, who was not lacking in presence, lowered her head and tugged at the old man’s arm, her voice not loud, but not avoiding everyone, just softly persuading Mr. Xie.
Simply seeing Little Ya’s willingness was enough. Which mother would truly make things difficult for her daughter in such an important life event?
Fortunately, it’s not because the suitor was lacking, but because he was exceptionally qualified, which provided some invisible comfort. At least, in the future, the most she might suffer is a bit more grievance, not physical suffering!
In her old opinion, physical well-being is the capital! Her daughter has got to be younger than her future in-laws, suffering a bit could be seen as a lesson bought—
"Mom~" Xie Jingzi’s eyes, shallow and originally reddened due to heartache, suddenly filled with moved tears when she heard her mother wholeheartedly speaking for her good, looking at her parents tenderly.
She knew her parents were stopping her because they truly had her best interests at heart, not wanting her to regret her decision in the future.
Old people’s wisdom, of course, comes with more life experiences than such a young girl just reaching adulthood.
The status of the Zhou family, just by looking at how Zhou Zhenghui, not even thirty years old, could hold the third highest official position in a county town’s economic center, was clearly powerful and prestigious!
Xie Jingzi knew, their ’Xie’ family, although looked like a grand clan with many uncles and nephews, often resulted in chaos due to many opinions, despite being united against outsiders, they couldn’t escape the fact they came from peasant origins.
A person’s economic power and strength determine the kind of status they can uphold, she herself knew, if she truly married into the Zhou family, even if Zhou Family’s parents were generous in accepting her, her days wouldn’t be easy.
Her background was an unchangeable reality.
Xie Jingzi wasn’t foolish, especially after being mentored by Third Sister-in-law and living in the county town, in an environment of high school seniors, which was already a mini society itself, she matured very quickly.
She was no longer the slightly spoilt village girl she used to be.
Initially, she hesitated partly due to Zhou Zhenghui’s high status, now seeing her parents’ reluctance, she felt somewhat ’resistant’, and Zhou Zhenghui who made a living by analyzing people’s hearts—a little girl’s subtle thoughts couldn’t escape his sharp peach blossom eyes.
