Chapter 61 Objection
"We haven't even started yet. At worst, we can just do some work on Tang'er for a few days. What if she changes her mind again?"
Although Liu Xiangyun respected Mr. Xu, she also felt that he was not a good match for Song Yuntang.
Perhaps the only benefit is that Mr. Xu is a scholar, and they may be able to take advantage of him and reduce the taxes on the land.
Zhao Qiao'e glanced towards Song Yuntang's room and said, "Regardless of whether she changes her mind or not, for her future, I will not agree to this marriage."
Song Jinbao was silent for a long moment before he said, "If this is true, it would have been better to let her marry the eldest son of the Lin family. He is at least in good health and is one year younger than Mr. Xu."
Zhao Qiao'e glared at him. "What's the point of saying this now? I'm worried that if Tang'er really has feelings for her, we'll object and things will get unpleasant again. We've finally managed to improve our relationship these days."
Song Jinbao wiped his face.
"Your consideration is not unreasonable. Right now, we need to find out how Tang'er got in touch with Mr. Xu. After all, we didn't see Mr. Xu when we went to town today." He said, standing up, "I'll go to the private school to talk to Mr. Xu."
Seeing this, Zhao Qiao'e hurriedly said behind him, "He is a private school teacher after all, so you should be more respectful."
Song Jinbao waved his hand and said, "I know."
Song Chengliang felt that Xu Qingye had a difficult time too. "Mom, I actually think Mr. Xu has a good temper. My sister has such a bad temper. The two of them, one hot-tempered and the other calm, are a good match."
"If you're not in good health, what's the point of having a good temper?" Zhao Qiao'e shook her head and went back to her room to embroider her handkerchief. "It's hard to have both in this world, so we can only choose the best. Husbands and wives have their ups and downs. Your father and I went through the same thing."
……
Song Yuntang didn't sleep. She stood in front of the window, listening to the faint voices coming from the main room. She couldn't tell whether she was in a good or bad mood.
Since they have different ideas, there is naturally no way to force them to be on the same wavelength as you.
I just feel that if my biological family members are like this, if I get married and my husband's family has too many rules, it would probably be a headache.
After a short nap, it was already dinner time, and the brothers Song Jinsheng and Song Jinyuan had already returned home.
When they learned that the Xu family was coming to their house to propose marriage, they were all surprised.
"Tang'er, have you really thought it through?" Song Jinsheng asked.
Song Yuntang nodded and said, "I've thought about it."
"Why?" Song Jinsheng was puzzled. "It seems like you two haven't met many times. How come you suddenly fell in love with each other?"
Song Yuntang lowered his head and fiddled with the brown rice porridge in his bowl.
"Instead of going to someone I don't know, I think he's pretty good."
Zhao Qiao'e put down her bowl and chopsticks, "Tang'er, are you blaming your mother for arranging your marriage with the Wu family?"
Song Yuntang shook his head, "No."
She just didn't like this kind of arranged marriage, and she didn't have the idea or the time to correct other people's ideas. It just so happened that Xu Qingye was willing to cooperate with her and didn't object to her seemingly shocking proposal, so it was him.
Song Jinyuan looked in the direction of Song Yuntang, and thought of what she asked him two days ago. He suddenly understood why she did this. Understanding is one thing, but being able to comprehend is another.
It's just that he has never been a talkative person and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Zhao Qiao'e looked at Song Yuntang, "Tang'er, are you still unable to let go of the eldest son of the Lin family?"
Song Yuntang was stunned. "What does it have to do with him?"
Looking at her expression, Zhao Qiao'e became more certain of her suspicions. "Otherwise, why would you let the Xu family propose marriage? Was it really not to piss him off?"
Song Yuntang felt a little speechless. "What does my engagement have to do with him? Without him, will I never get married in this life?"
"You don't have to marry Mr. Xu." Zhao Qiao'e said earnestly.
Song Yuntang felt unhappy when he heard that Xu Qingye was being resisted by his family because of him.
"I'm the one who's going to marry him, so it's all I need to know if he's a good person."
Zhao Qiao'e's face turned cold, a rare expression. "Mother will not agree to this marriage. They say that parents' orders are the matchmaker's words. Without parents' orders, no one will recognize you in the future."
"My marriage doesn't need anyone else's approval. If you can't respect others first, then let's just keep it the same as before."
Song Yuntang said this coldly, put down his chopsticks, stood up and left the main room.
Seeing this, Song Jinsheng looked at her and shouted, "Sister, you haven't finished your porridge yet."
However, Song Yuntang never responded to them again.
Song Jinsheng turned and looked at Zhao Qiao'e again, "Mother, why are you doing this? You know my sister's personality. She always responds to soft words and doesn't tolerate hard ones."
Zhao Qiao'e wiped her tears and said, "What can I do? When I heard that she was desperate to marry Mr. Xu, I was furious. If you didn't know, you would think they were having an affair. I am also thinking about her future life."
"I know mom is doing this for her own good, but we can also try to communicate in a different way. She has finally changed her attitude towards our family, but now because of what mom said, I'm afraid she will have to go back to the way she was before." Song Jinsheng said with a sigh.
He was fine when he followed his sister some time ago. He just worked for Song Mazi for a few days. He didn't expect such a big thing to happen at home.
"I also want to communicate with her properly. Look at her attitude?" Zhao Qiao'e sobbed. "I admit that I didn't do well in some aspects, but she is my biological daughter. How could I bear to see her fall into the fire?"
Song Jinbao, who was silent next to him, poured the last mouthful of porridge into his mouth and swallowed it.
"I'll go to the Lin family tomorrow." He put down his bowl and chopsticks. "Doesn't she always listen to the Lin family? It's better to let them persuade her than for us to be the bad guys ourselves."
I went to the private school today but found Mr. Xu not there at all.
Since Mr. Xu did not show up today, his daughter's abnormal behavior must be due to the Lin family.
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
Song Chengzhi's mind worked quickly, "Dad, this is a good idea."
……
Song Yuntang only ate half a bowl of porridge and was not full.
She didn't want to explain too much to her family's misunderstanding, because concepts cannot be corrected.
She can't stay in this house for long anyway.
After washing up, changing into clean clothes, and drying my hair in the house, the sun had already set.
She tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She tied her hair behind her head with a hairband and tiptoed out of the yard.
It was already past the hour of You, and every household had closed their doors and windows. No one was seen walking around in the village, and only the occasional barking of a dog or two could be heard.
The moonlight at night is exceptionally bright, and the night breeze brings a touch of coolness to the hot summer.
After gazing at the stars and admiring the moon, she walked around the village and unknowingly came to the vicinity of the private school. She was just passing by, but when she saw the light in the small courtyard behind the private school, she suddenly stopped.
