“My child, marriage isn’t as scary as you think. An Lude is a very good person. If I didn’t know him well, I wouldn’t let you marry him. And Jiang Minghe is your father. He’ll find out about your marriage sooner or later! The reason I told him is to fulfill my duty as your daughter.” Song Ting did this so that her daughter could make a choice as soon as possible.

She doesn't have much time left. An Lude was the man Song Ting carefully selected from the vast sea of ​​people, the man who could protect Jiang Jinyao after she left.

If Jiang Minghe disagrees and insists on a complete breakdown, Song Ting will accept it.

"Yaoyao, Mom doesn't want you to go back to the Jiang family. I don't want you to suffer again. An Lude's parents are very good people. If you marry into their family, there won't be any mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts. Mom doesn't want you to go through the same old path I did!"

Jiang Jinyao has never lacked her father's love. Now, Jiang Minghe's opposition is simply because he feels that his own daughter is getting married, but he has never met the man and has never known him. He feels that he, as a father, has never been respected.

Song Ting was even more eager because she didn't have much time left and wanted to push her two children.

The two had been together for almost half a year, and whenever asked, their relationship was stable, but they showed no intention of getting married.

If you're truly in love, pushing each other might just work.

Moreover, with Jiang Jingjing arrested, the Jiang family's only daughter also faces the risk of being sent to the countryside. If she marries An Lude as soon as possible, she can avoid being sent to the countryside.

Song Ting wanted to help her daughter remove these obstacles.

“Yaoyao, Mom chose to endure in the past, which caused you a lot of suffering. But this time, Mom won’t hurt you. You just need to follow your heart.” Song Ting said, touching Jiang Jinyao’s face.

Jiang Jinyao stared at her mother, sniffed, and asked, "Mom, what kind of man do you think An Lude is?"

“Although he seems like an unreliable person, we’ve all seen how he’s taken such good care of you these past few days, and how well-mannered he is in every word and action. He never crosses the line when it’s not allowed! Everyone has flaws. Maybe he’s been in the military for a long time, and his thinking might be the same as most boys. As long as he respects and cares for you enough, all his bad habits can be changed.”

Song Ting didn't have much of a chance to get to know him, but An Lude made a very good first impression on her.

"Mom, I think he's a good man. I want to marry him. With your blessing, I'm not afraid!" Jiang Jinyao stared at her haggard mother. "Mom, An Lude used to be a bit chauvinistic, but he told me that if I didn't like him, he would gradually change. I know his income is higher than that of the average working-class family, his parents are easy to get along with, and they're good to me. I don't have to worry about him going hungry or being mistreated! Mom is afraid that I'll be bullied by the Jiang family in the future, and she hopes An Lude can protect me, right?"

When Jiang Jinyao revealed her mother's plans for her, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, dripping onto her clothes.

"Yaoyao, Mom is a failure. I can't protect you all the time!" Song Ting's eyes were fixed on her daughter as she tidied her disheveled hair. "I know you can live well on your own, but Mom thinks it would be a good thing if you met someone who is good to you and let him stay by your side. You would have another strong support."

"Mom!" Jiang Jinyao's worries vanished at that moment.

Song Ting hugged her daughter tightly again and comforted her, "Yaoyao, do whatever you want to do. People only live for a few decades. Mom's salary is enough for you to live on for many years. Don't be afraid."

She worked hard and earned money so that her daughter could have a happy life and not have to worry about food and clothing.

"Yaoyao, when you pick up An Lude tomorrow morning, tell him your thoughts properly. No matter how much your father objects, if you've made up your mind, marry him! The sooner the better," Song Ting said, giving her daughter plenty of confidence.

Jiang Jinyao nodded and said, "Mom, I will. I'm not afraid of Father's opposition. An Lude is the one I've chosen, and I'm going to marry him."

Song Ting smiled with relief, stroked her daughter's little head, and sighed deeply, "Yaoyao, you should be able to sleep now!"

She looked at her daughter, who had been unable to eat or sleep these past few days since learning of Jiang Minghe's opposition.

A few days ago, she wrote to say she wanted to come and visit them, mother and daughter. In the letter, she also clearly opposed Jiang Jinyao being with An Lude, which made her very unhappy for quite some time.

For her daughter's sake, Song Ting began to inquire everywhere and learned about An Lude's family situation. From what she learned and from Song Ting's feedback on her interactions with An Lude, the man her daughter had chosen was indeed a very good person.

"Mmm!" Jiang Jinyao went from sad to happy in just a few words. "Mom, I'm hungry!" Jiang Jinyao's mood was healed. She remembered that she hadn't eaten properly last night and was hungry now.

Song Ting shook her head helplessly, chuckled softly, stood up, and slowly said, "Mom will make you a midnight snack. Eat your fill and get a good night's sleep."

"Thank you, Mom. I want two eggs," Jiang Jinyao requested, adding, "I want fried eggs, thank you, Mom."

"Okay, okay~ I'll do whatever you want." Song Ting replied to Jiang Jinyao in a gentle tone while busy in the kitchen.

Watching her mother's busy figure, and recalling how her mother divorced and fell out with the Jiang family for her sake, Jiang Jinyao felt a pang of sadness but also a sense of happiness.

At least, Mom was freed from that horrific family.

Grandma favored boys over girls and disliked Mom, simply because she gave birth to her granddaughter.
