In the room, Shen Qiaoying noticed that her mother's complexion was off and asked worriedly, "Mom, are you feeling unwell?"

Chu Wanfang held Shen Qiaoying's hand with concern.

"Child, tell your mother, did He Ping bully you?" Chu Wanfang stared anxiously at Shen Qiaoyue.

Shen Qiaoying didn't understand why her mother asked her that.

I remember Chu Wanfang pulling open Shen Qiaoying's collar and seeing the marks on it.

"Mom!" Shen Qiaoying quickly turned around and buttoned up her clothes.

My sister noticed it, and so did my mother.

“Child, tell your mother the truth, did he force you, or…” How could Chu Wanfang not be anxious? She walked up to Shen Qiaoying and began to get impatient.

This happened just four days after they started dating; Qiaoying wouldn't be that kind of person.

"Mom, it's not what you think. Brother He didn't bully me. It was... I did it on my own!" Shen Qiaoying was afraid that her mother would misunderstand, so she took the initiative to admit her mistake.

"What..." Chu Wanfang went from worry to shock. She tried her best to control her voice so that the people outside wouldn't hear.

Shen Qiaoying looked at Chu Wanfang in fear and said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I... I couldn't control myself for a moment."

I told Chu Wanfang what happened, otherwise my mother would definitely worry.

After hearing the story, Chu Wanfang was shocked to see that her usually gentle and generous eldest daughter could do something so unrestrained.

Overwhelmed with guilt, she felt she had caused He Ping to misunderstand him. She lowered her head in remorse and patted Shen Qiaoying's hand, saying, "Your mother was so worried. Just now, your father asked He Ping how long you two had been together, and He Ping said you had only been dating for four days before you had sex. How could your mother not be worried? This concerns your reputation. You... you're too bold. If others find out, you'll be paraded through the streets and drowned in their spittle!"

Shen Qiaoying knew she was in the wrong, and she didn't know why she had been so bold.

"This can't be delayed any longer. You've had a relationship with Xiao He, and if you get pregnant without any protection, people will gossip! If your in-laws find out, you'll never be able to hold your head up high and will be treated as inferior for the rest of your life!" Chu Wanfang was extremely anxious.

This was a major life event, and Shen Qiaoying's actions made Chu Wanfang anxious and afraid.

This is her own daughter, and she can't blame her. These kinds of things happen when both parties are in love, and no one can control it.

She studied abroad and has a relatively open-minded view of matters between men and women, but she can't see things clearly in the current political climate.

Shen Qiaoying explained, "I discussed it with Brother He today, and we'll get the marriage certificate when we get back to the village."

"Good child, I know you've had a hard time in the countryside!" Chu Wanfang looked at her eldest daughter, who had been ravaged by life, and saw a world of difference between her and her younger daughter.

She gradually realized that all these years, it was her eldest daughter who had been taking care of her youngest daughter.

She felt guilty and remorseful!

"Mom, I'm fine. Although Brother He and I only confirmed our relationship four days ago, he has taken good care of me for the past six months. We are almost inseparable and understand each other very well." Shen Qiaoying smiled sweetly when she mentioned He Ping.

"You!" Chu Wanfang could see Shen Qiaoying's smile, and she seemed to like He Ping very much. She immediately felt relieved. "A daughter is like a tree that grows up and leaves home! I really hope you find happiness, but I'm still selfishly reluctant to let you get married so soon. It's contradictory and selfish. I say I hope you get married quickly, but deep down I don't want you to get married!"

How could she not be conflicted?

He Ping is a good man, but if he goes to the countryside, will he ever have a chance to get ahead in his life?

If she really has to live in the countryside for the rest of her life, her daughter will really have to suffer for the rest of her life.

"Xiaoying, you need to think this through. Just because someone is a good person doesn't mean they'll be happy!" Chu Wanfang wanted to know what her daughter was thinking.

Shen Qiaoying nodded and said firmly, "Mom, I only believe in Brother He, and I don't mind suffering."

Chu Wanfang sighed and touched Chen Qiaoying.

After they finished talking in the room, Chu Wanfang came out and pulled her daughter to sit down next to her.

Judging from her mother's actions, Shen Qiaoyue guessed that she was going to discuss marriage with He Ping.

Shen Qiaoying looked up at He Ping, then pursed her lips and remained silent.

My mother said she would talk about the marriage later and told me not to say anything.

Shen Qiaoying silently wished him well and gave him a look that said, "May you have good luck."

"Honey, what are you and Qiaoying talking about in the room?" Shen Yuanfan pushed up his glasses and asked his wife what was going on.

He must have known that his wife was talking to their daughter about their marriage.

He was also curious and wondered what solutions they came up with.

The family happened to be sitting together, and he raised a question.

Chu Wanfang scrutinized He Ping and said, "Little He, Auntie is also anxious about your and Qiaoying's marriage. Auntie just wants to ask, if you get married, will your parents agree?"

He Ping nodded, responding definitively: "My parents will definitely agree, Auntie. Even if they don't, I can make my own decisions about my marriage."

Upon hearing this answer, Chu Wanfang exchanged a glance with Shen Yuanfan.

“Uncle, Aunt, my parents know that Qiaoying is dating me and they have never objected. Of course they will agree to our marriage. As for the bride price, we can follow the city's customs. I have saved some money while working in the army over the years. I can afford the three turns and one ring.”

Seeing that the two elders remained silent, He Ping anxiously began to explain again.

Chu Wanfang knew that the salary was high when working in the army, but now that she had left the army, she was worried that her daughter's living conditions would not be good if she married into the army.

However, given her daughter's current situation, it seems unreasonable not to marry him.
