Despite agreeing to let Qi think for a couple more days, Ms. Fang couldn’t stop worrying about the situation. She wanted to have a serious conversation with Qi, urging him to think carefully. However, Qi managed to avoid her at all costs, which only increased Ms. Fangs frustration.
The mother’s relentless pursuit was met with the son’s constant evasion, creating a sort of guerrilla warfare between them. The rest of the family found the situation amusing but refrained from laughing, fearing it might escalate the tension.
Finally, the two days had passed, and the atmosphere in the household was tense. Ms. Fang, Eldest Uncle, Qi, and Shao Yunduan were all on edge. As the middleman, Shao Yunduan had the weighty task of negotiating between them.
But Qi remained resolute in his decision to join the army. Ms. Fang snapped at him and even attempted to hit him, but her anger couldn’t sway his determination.
After venting her frustration, Ms. Fang became overwhelmed with anxiety and broke down in tears. “If you don’t want to get married now, I’ll stop anyone from coming to our door. We’ll wait until you’re willing to get married. But don’t get so angry about our arrangements that you want to leave home!”
Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni were taken aback and didn’t know how to respond.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were completely baffled by the situation.
Shao Yunduan said, “Mom, what happened? Qi wouldn’t leave home just because he’s angry. He and Taotao won’t get married unless they’re willing to. We don’t force them into anything.”
Ms. Fang continued to sob and shake her head, unable to fully express her feelings. Sensing her distress, Yang Xiaoni decided to share her insights.
Yang Xiaoni explained that Qi was no longer young, and as he grew older, many suitors came to the door seeking a marriage arrangement. This had motivated Ms. Fang to explore potential matches for him. After all, good suitors were not always easy to find.
On the second day after Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had left home, a distant cousin of Ms. Fangs suddenly appeared at their door with her two daughters. Although they hadn’t interacted frequently in the past, they were still family, and Ms. Fang was delighted to see them.
This cousin seemed to be quite lively and quickly engaged in a cheerful conversation with Ms. Fang.
This cousin was not here without purpose. She was here to build a martial alliance – she was trying to make Ms. Fang to let Qi marry one of her two daughters.
Ms. Fang was not easily swayed by her cousin’s proposition. Although they were relatives, they hadn’t maintained a close relationship over the years. Ms. Fang felt it was necessary to gather more information about this relative and her two daughters before making any decisions regarding the marital alliance.
Rather than rejecting the idea outright, Ms. Fang tactfully expressed that her son was still young and it would be prudent to wait for a couple more days before discussing the matter further. The cousin agreed and understood, remarking that parents were always deeply concerned about their children’s well-being and should carefully consider all aspects before entering into a marital alliance.
Ms. Fang was relieved that she could buy some time to properly evaluate the situation and make an informed decision for her son’s future. She wanted to ensure that any potential match would be suitable and compatible, taking into account both personal and family considerations..
