Jian Dalang’s face was still filled with disbelief. “You’re still so young… What do you see in him?”
Old man Jian also frowned unhappily and said, “Big sister, did he really not lie to you? It doesn’t matter if you say it, we’ll make the decision for you even if we have to risk our lives.”
Jian Qingqing was very touched, but she still shook her head and said, “He really didn’t lie to me.”
Mother Jian glared at her and said, “Do you still not understand? Looking at this, it is clear that Big Sister was the one who took the initiative. They are doing it willingly. Now it is useless to talk about who lied to who. The most important thing is how to solve this matter. My meaning is to let the two of them be engaged first and wait for Big Sister to reach the age of 10 before getting married.”
Jian Dalang frowned and said, “No way! Big Sister is still so young. How can she get engaged?! That stinky brat is a little too old.” Jian Qingqing disagreed, “How is he old? He’s only 18.”
Mother Jian glared at her. “Be quiet!”
Jian Qingqing could only shut her mouth, feeling wronged.
Old Man Jian pondered for a long time and also said, “I also don’t agree. I originally wanted to wait for Big Sister to reach marriageable age and find a
son-in-law who will live with her. That way, she can always be by our side and not have to suffer the anger of her husband’s family. Although I don’t know what his family is like, I have heard more or less that his mother is not to be trifled with. After Big Sister marries over, I don’t know how much torture she will have to suffer.’
Old Man Jian’s words made the others silent for a moment. He was right. Choosing a husband was not as simple as looking at the husband himself. It also depended on the husband’s family. Only when the family was good could the new daughter-in-law live a comfortable life. Otherwise, the in-laws could suppress people with filial piety. If the in-laws were more powerful, the new daughter-in-law might be tortured.
“Big Brother Ming doesn’t live with his mother,” Jian Qingqing muttered. “They stopped contacting each other a long time ago.”
Mother Jian disagreed. “Even if he doesn’t live together now, Princess Yanhe is still his mother. She will have to step in for the engagement. When the time comes, even if Sir Ming can refuse, you will be criticized heavily by outsiders.”
Jian Qingqing was silent. Her mother was right. This was how the world worked. If Princess Yanhe did not do anything overboard, Ming Zhiyan would not sever ties with her.
Jian Dalang thought for a long time. Seeing his daughter like this, he felt uncomfortable. He sighed and said, “I’ll go talk to that brat tomorrow.” “What do you want to say?” Mother Jian frowned.
“I’m just asking if he can marry into our family. If he can’t, then forget it. No one else knows about him and Big Sister anyway. We’ll just find an obedient son-in-law in the future,” Jian Dalang said.
Old Man Jian and Mother Jian pondered for a moment. Mother Jian frowned and said, “With his high status, I’m afraid he won’t marry into the family.”
She did not have to have Ming Zhiyan as her son-in-law, but seeing how deeply in love her daughter was, she was afraid that they would hurt her daughter if they told her.
Old Man Jian snorted and said, “It’s fine if he doesn’t agree. We don’t care about him. Big Sister, how about you?”
“No!” Jian Qingqing shook her head vigorously. “I don’t care!”
Although she had never considered marrying or having a live-in son-in-law, since her family wanted her to have a live-in son-in-law, she would do it according to their wishes. Anyway, she would not let her family be sad just for a man..
