Just as Qian Shulan guessed, Jiang Yuying changed into her newly bought bra and came back in a rage.
After dinner, Qian Shulan sent Xiaodie to the preschool class at the Water Conservancy Bureau.
Seeing her come in, followed by Guo Zhengliang who kept explaining, Qian Shulan guessed that this meeting was not pleasant.
Guo Zhengliang saw that Qian Shulan was a little embarrassed, but he didn't care about anything at this time. He kept apologizing to Jiang Yuying, "Yuying, I didn't know my mother would say that. I have explained to her that you are my partner. I can't marry Chen Xuanxuan. She is only 18 and I am 24, a difference of six years. You and I are revolutionary comrades. You must believe me."
Qian Shulan finally understood everything. She didn't want to get involved in their affairs, so she went to the kitchen to cook.
Later, I have to pick up Xiaodie from school.
When she was halfway through cooking the dish, Guo Zhengliang said goodbye to her and said he was leaving.
Qian Shulan didn't have time to see him off and just agreed in the kitchen.
When she came out after cooking, she saw Jiang Yuying sitting on the sofa in the main room with a look of great concern.
Qian Shulan put the dishes and steamed buns on the coffee table and sat over. "The old lady we met yesterday was Guo Zhengliang's mother, right?"
Jiang Yuying looked up in surprise, and when she saw Aunt Qian's wise eyes, she pursed her lips and nodded.
Qian Shulan didn't know what their relationship was like, so she asked directly, "Do you think it's possible for you two to get married given your relationship?"
Jiang Yuying was upset because of this. Mrs. Guo clearly looked down on her. When Guo Zhengliang introduced himself to his mother, his mother's undisguised disdain deeply hurt her. She held her chin with a bit of melancholy, "Aunt Qian, do you think he and I can still be together?"
Qian Shulan sighed and patted the back of Jiang Yuying's hand. "I don't really understand this, but I hope you can be happy. If being with him requires you to constantly put yourself at risk, then why do you want to be with him? What is love? Love should be happy and sweet. It should not be exhausting, suspicious and doubtful. Ask yourself now, if you leave him, will you be sad? Will you be unable to bear it? And then tell yourself the answer."
Jiang Yuying couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, which were about to fall, making her look very lovable.
"Aunt, I'll think about it carefully."
Qian Shulan patted her on the back and pointed at the dishes she cooked. "You came back so early, you must not have eaten enough. Eat quickly."
Jiang Yuying couldn't help but tear up again. She had always been lonely. No one had ever cared about her like Aunt Qian.
She picked up the chopsticks, took the steamed bun handed to her by Qian Shulan, and began to eat it voraciously.
Seeing her eating so fast, Qian Shulan patted her on the back and said, "Be careful not to choke if you eat so fast."
Jiang Yuying immediately put down the chopsticks she was holding, threw herself into Qian Shulan's arms and cried sadly.
Qian Shulan knew that she was too depressed, so she let her vent, patted her back, and stroked her hair.
When Jiang Yuying finally calmed down, Qian Shulan learned the whole story.
"Mrs. Guo looked down on my identity as an orphan and mocked me openly and covertly. I endured it again and again, but in the end, she introduced Chen Xuanxuan to Guo Zhengliang in front of me and said that a girl like this was worthy of being the daughter-in-law of their Guo family."
Qian Shulan was also filled with righteous indignation. This was too much of a bully. "She is so excessive. Is Guo Zhengliang dead?"
Jiang Yuying curled her lips and put on a mocking smile, "He's not dead, but that's his own mother, what can he do to her? In the end, I was so angry that I ran out without even eating."
Qian Shulan patted her hand with satisfaction, "Well done! Don't bear it. We women have to be nicer to ourselves. You've been bullied now, and after you get married, you won't let them bully you."
After venting her anger, Jiang Yuying felt much more relaxed. She leaned on Qian Shulan's shoulder and said, "I thought that since he was so outstanding, his mother wouldn't be too bad. As long as we have the same revolutionary goal, marriage doesn't seem so terrible. Unfortunately, I was wrong."
Qian Shulan patted her head, feeling a little regretful.
"You are planning to?"
Jiang Yuying seemed to have made up her mind. She raised her head and nodded heavily. "I will never sacrifice myself for anyone. I am such a selfish person. If he still does nothing, I will break up with him."
Qian Shulan smiled and patted her head. "You are right to think so. If marriage can't make you happier, it's better not to have it."
Jiang Yuying seemed to have found a soulmate. "Aunt Qian, you are the only one who understands me the best. My colleagues, my aunt, my cousin, and my relatives and friends all advised me to get married early. Only you think I don't need to get married."
Because she is just that kind of person. Qian Shulan never thinks that marriage is a necessity. Just because she is fighting with these extreme sons and daughters-in-law every day, she is even a little afraid of her children.
Such a cute little baby when I was a child, but it grew crooked if I wasn't careful. It took a lot of effort to fix it. It was so tiring!
Qian Shulan knew that Jiang Yuying was very angry, so she followed her wishes and encouraged her, "I don't think marriage is the only destination for women, revolving around men and children all your life, and working hard all your life. Although there is happiness in it, the hardships in it are not something that outsiders can understand. If you haven't met the right person who is worth your efforts, you might as well live alone. At least, your happiness now is real. Happiness is also real." These are also her heartfelt words, and she said them very sincerely.
When Jiang Yuying heard her words, she couldn't hold back any longer and hugged her and started crying again.
Qian Shulan also knew that her self-esteem was hurt, coupled with Guo Zhengliang's inaction. Sometimes men think that things are not worth mentioning, but in the eyes of women, they are bigger than the sky.
This is also a difference in ideology.
Qian Shulan accompanied her silently.
Jiang Yuying wiped her tears, rearranged her hair, and suddenly said, "Aunt Qian, I will take you as my godmother."
Qian Shulan was really frightened this time. Well, actually, she had always considered Jiang Yuying as a friend. After all, her mental age was only 22 years old, not much different from Jiang Yuying.
How did you become someone's mother
Oh, that doesn’t seem right. She has been someone’s mother for a long time.
Qian Shulan was lost in thought over there, while Jiang Yuying was worried over here. As an orphan, what she wanted most was someone to love her, right
Since you can’t find a man, why not find a godmother to love you
Aunt Qian was so kind to her. Not only would she bring her eggs from the countryside, she would also cook for her and comfort her like a mother.
However, seeing that Aunt Qian seemed very conflicted, she was about to say that I was joking to smooth things over, but she heard Qian Shulan say with a smile, "Okay"
Jiang Yuying looked at her in surprise.
Aunt Qian pulled her up and said, "However, since we are going to recognize each other as godparents, we can't be so casual. Let's go to the Red Flag Restaurant and ask Boss Du to cook two dishes for us so that we can celebrate together. It will also be like having a witness."
Jiang Yuying uttered a heavy "hmm", wiped away her tears, and burst into laughter.
Qian Shulan and Jiang Yuying went to the school together to pick up Xiaodie.
Then, the three of them went to the Hongqi Hotel together.
Everyone was very happy to hear that they wanted to adopt each other as godparents.
Qian Shulan gave Jiang Yuying a silver bracelet, which was her original owner's thing, and she brought it out this time.
Xiaodie also called Jiang Yuying "Auntie". It seemed that this title made her very happy and she kept calling her that.
When the three of them finished their meal and walked out hand in hand, Xiaodie asked in a childish voice, "What does aunt call daddy?"
When Qian Shulan helped her solve the problem, she said, "Call me Fifth Brother."
Xiaodie laughed so hard, and she didn't know what made her laugh.
When the three of them arrived at the door of their home, they saw Guo Zhengliang waiting there. Jiang Yuying's smiling face suddenly became stiff, "Why are you here?"
Guo Zhengliang greeted Qian Shulan, then whispered to Jiang Yuying, "I have something to tell you."
Jiang Yuying happened to have something to say to him, and they both nodded.
Qian Shulan sent Xiaodie to school.
When she came back, she saw Guo Zhengliang standing at the door, as if waiting for someone. However, he seemed to be waiting anxiously and kept turning around.
The door of the Jiang family had been locked from the inside.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Qian Shulan asked with a smile.
When Guo Zhengliang saw her, he strode over with a sad face, "Aunt Qian, I want you to help me persuade Yuying. She wants to break up with me." When he spoke, his tone was painful and his eyes were red. It seemed that he was really sad.
Qian Shulan sighed in her heart, and she frowned and said, "Since I have already recognized Yuying as my daughter, I have to talk to you."
Guo Zhengliang was surprised to hear Jiang Yuying acknowledge Qian Shulan as her godmother. However, he only expressed a slight surprise and then nodded, "You go ahead."
Qian Shulan actually had a good impression of Guo Zhengliang. He looked like an upright man and was very kind to others. Most importantly, he had a good outlook on life. In addition to his sense of right and wrong, which was 8 points, the other two items were all 10 points.
"You know that your mother doesn't like Yuying, right?"
Hearing this, Guo Zhengliang felt a little embarrassed, but he also guessed that Jiang Yuying must have mentioned to Aunt Qian what happened in the morning. He suppressed his shame and gritted his teeth and said "hmm".
Seeing his face flushed with embarrassment, Qian Shulan directly reminded him, "Not only does your mother not like Yuying, she also brought home the daughter-in-law she chose. I think you should be careful these days."
Thanks to the TV dramas she watched in her previous life, Qian Shulan's mind is now full of scenes of "drugging", "threats" and "coincidences".
These plots may be old, but the key is that they work. Just pick any one and you'll succeed.
It seems that the girl is someone who is willing to take risks.
Qian Shulan had every reason to suspect that the girl would let go of her reserve and persuade the old lady to help her act.
Guo Zhengliang was obviously frightened by Qian Shulan's words. He was about to open his mouth to defend his mother, but Qian Shulan raised her hand to interrupt him, "If you don't have 10,000, you can only worry about the worst."
Some things don't need to be said too directly, just a subtle reminder will do. If he really doesn't listen and falls into his mother's trap, then it can only be said that his fate with Yuying has ended. She can't help it. In any case, it would be a pity if this pair of lovers broke up like this.
Although Guo Zhengliang disagreed with Aunt Qian's words, he still nodded in agreement. It was indeed right to be careful. "It's just that, Yuying..."
Qian Shulan frowned, "You should solve the problem with that girl first. Then come to find Yuying. That girl can't stay in your house forever, right?"
Guo Zhengliang's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what she meant.
Qian Shulan looked at him and said, "If your mother really can't accept Yuying, then you should live separately. If you stay under the same roof, the conflicts will only escalate. You should understand the principle that things far away are fragrant, but things close to you are smelly, right? Besides, you have to be sandwiched all the time. Think about it, your mother is on the left, and your partner is on the right. No matter who you help, the other party will be dissatisfied. In this case, living separately is the best choice. If you can't do this, you two will end up together in the future."
After hearing this, Guo Zhengliang seemed to be thinking about something.
As for their relationship, Qian Shulan was not in a position to interfere too much. Although Jiang Yuying was very disappointed with Guo Zhengliang and wanted to break up with him, relationships were not something that could be broken off easily.
Qian Shulan could also sense that Jiang Yuying's words were not sincere. Women are always soft-hearted, and she would be reluctant to break up within the range she could still tolerate.
However, once she crosses her limit, her resolute look can make men no longer recognize her previous gentleness and thoughtfulness.
When Jiang Yuying saw Guo Zhengliang making a fuss with his family because of her, she softened her heart.
Qian Shulan was somewhat helpless about this. No one could say whether Guo Zhengliang could outrage his parents. This was like a rally, a competition to see who was more ruthless.
If in the end, nothing has changed, then there will be no regrets in parting.
