To say there's no feeling is true; to say there is feeling is not that strong.

Just as her parents were about to have a major argument, Jiang Yimei acted as a peacemaker, preserving the family from collapse.

She hugged her parents tightly and said, "Alright, you two shouldn't argue over an outsider. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for the whole family to get together, be happy, and have a wonderful time."

For their daughter's sake, the elderly couple tried to downplay the issue and resolve it peacefully.

My daughter is right. The Mid-Autumn Festival should be a time for family reunion, to put all our troubles and grudges behind us.

...

On the other hand, as soon as Yao Yao got home, her parents started arranging dates for her.

They've already asked the village matchmaker to find a promising young man in a nearby town, and now they're just waiting for her to come back.

It's a local tradition that daughters shouldn't marry far away. They don't want to be left without anyone to take care of them when they get old, nor do they want their daughters to be bullied by their in-laws and then have no way to settle scores.

Not long after returning home, Yao Yao saw matchmakers from the village and nearby villages coming to visit her one after another.

She was truly terrified; they came once for the New Year, and now they're coming again.

As she tried to hide in her room, Cheng's mother put her hand on her shoulder and pressed her down hard.

"You're not allowed to go anywhere!"

His gaze was fierce, and his tone was domineering and arrogant.

Yao Yao was trembling with fear; she had never seen her mother like this before.

When she tried to ask her kind father for help, she found that his face was also very gloomy and he was no longer on her side.

"Gurgle!"

She swallowed hard, sensing that this was going to be terrible; they might force her to go on a blind date.

Fortunately, she found her Prince Charming, otherwise she wouldn't know how to explain herself.

Aunts, matchmakers, and other relatives all arrived.

I never imagined my home would be so lively.

These elderly people were all highly respected elders in the village, and she dared not offend them. She sat demurely, always with a smile on her face.

The aunts, uncles, and matchmakers all wore kind smiles and stared intently at her, as if she were their own child.

However, in Yao Yao's heart, she felt that the eyes of these old men were like those of wolves, trying to take away her freedom to marry and to steal away her love.

After smiling for a long time, someone finally spoke.

The first person to speak was her second aunt.

You know, my second aunt doted on her when she was little, treating her like a daughter, but now she wants to deprive her of her freedom to marry.

"Yaoyao, you're not young anymore. It's time to find someone and spend the rest of your life in peace."

Yao Yao: "Second Aunt, I'm only 25 years old, that's not old, is it?"

Second Aunt: "As the saying goes, before 25 you're the one choosing a man, after 25 men are choosing you! If you don't find one now, even a married man might not like you."

Yao Yao retorted, "Second Aunt, it's the 21st century now. We don't follow the old ways anymore, so can you change your mindset?"

Second Aunt: "Let me tell you, even if times change, Chinese culture will not change. As long as you live on this land, this principle will always exist."

Yao Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she found a foreigner, otherwise it would have been difficult to refute her.

"Second Aunt, you don't need to introduce me to any blind dates anymore, I already have a boyfriend."

Second Aunt was astonished, and everyone present was equally astonished.

You know, Cheng Xiaoyao once swore in front of them that she would never marry, so why has she suddenly changed her mind?
