Bai Xu frowned.
He didn't understand Tang Qiyue's reminder.
"The marriage was negotiated between Zhan Chunying and me. Your Zhan Zeye shouldn't have any objections, right?"
Bai Xu's confidence completely disappeared after seeing Tang Qiyue's smile.
After all, he knew Tang Qiyue.
"Marriage is never a matter between two people, but a matter between two families. If you two were to get together, I would think there would be no problem. You can discuss it however you want. But if you dare to make Zhan Chunying's life miserable after marriage, you're in trouble!"
No matter how powerful Bai Xu is, he will never be able to defeat Zhan Zeye.
Besides, Tang Qiyue would not allow it.
Zhan Chunying has helped take care of the three boys in the past few years, allowing Tang Qiyue to break away from the family and do what she wants. Just for this reason, it is impossible for her not to care about Zhan Chunying's happy life.
Even if Bai Xu has been her stepbrother for so many years, that won't work.
Bai Xu pinched his brows: "But we have already discussed it!"
Tang Qiyue shook her head: "Then you'd better talk to her again. If you're not familiar with each other at the beginning of marriage, you can slowly get along. There's nothing wrong with getting married first and falling in love later. Don't think about living together and deceiving your family!"
Until the two separated, Bai Xu did not realize the seriousness of the matter.
Tang Qiyue sighed.
If he continues like this, he will definitely regret it in the future.
Zhan Chunying is a nice person, but because of her previous life, she doesn't have any expectations for marriage. However, that doesn't mean her family will allow her to mess around.
After a busy day, in the evening Tang Qiyue vaguely mentioned to Zhan Zeye the way Bai Xu and Zhan Chunying get along, and Zhan Zeye immediately realized that something was wrong.
"What's wrong? He dares to cause trouble again?"
Sure enough, even if just a few vague words were said, Zhan Zeye would get furious. If he knew what Bai Xu and Zhan Chunying had discussed, it goes without saying what Zhan Zeye would do.
"Don't react so strongly. I just feel that there's something unfamiliar between them. You're just a brother, so you should listen to Chunying!"
Tang Qiyue reminded him, and Zhan Zeye snorted coldly: "As for Zhan Chunying's brain, I don't know what she's thinking all day long. She's timid and cowardly. She looks impetuous, but she's actually very timid!"
Having grown up together, Zhan Zeye knows his sister too well.
Because Zhan's mother was a widow living with three children, life was hard back then. Zhan Chunying was the only girl in the family and the youngest. Logically, she should have been cheerful because she was taken care of by her two brothers.
But Zhan Chunying is a sensitive and precocious person. She felt sorry for her mother Zhan very early on. When her elder brother Zhan and Zhan Zeye were having fun outside, she would help her mother with things.
Later, Zhan's eldest brother got married, Zhan Zeye went out to join the army, and only Zhan Chunying was left by Zhan's mother.
The gossip from the people around her, the difficult life at home, and the fact that widows are always surrounded by gossip, made Zhan Chunying hear a lot of unpleasant words.
While she had to protect her war mother, she was also afraid that one day her future life would become miserable.
Even though Zhan's eldest sister-in-law did not treat her as harshly as her other sisters-in-law, she still helped take care of her nephews and nieces. Later, Zhan Zeye made military achievements and sent money home, which made Zhan's mother's life much easier. However, Zhan Chunying's developed character was difficult to change.
"I've always been curious why Chunying is so afraid of getting married and having children!"
Tang Qiuyue was really curious. She didn't know what Zhan Chunying had experienced and why she was so scared. Neither Zhan's sister-in-law nor she was a mean person. Besides, Zhan Zeye and Zhan's elder brother both doted on their younger sister. So why was Zhan Chunying so afraid of getting married and having children?
Zhan Zeye didn't know either.
He didn't even realize it for such a long time. If Tang Qiyue hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known that Zhan Chunying was afraid of getting married.
However, Tang Qiuyue did not intend to let this question go. Unable to find the answer from Zhan Zeye, she planned to go talk to Zhan's mother.
The next day, Tang Qiyue went to the noodle shop to help out when she was not busy. While Zhan Chunying was out chatting with someone, she asked Zhan's mother.
Mother Zhan sighed and actually gave Tang Qiyue an answer.
"You probably don't know about my relationship with your father-in-law, right?"
Zhan's mother's words made Tang Qiyue confused. She only knew that her father-in-law died early, but she didn't know what the relationship between Zhan's mother and Zhan's father was like.
"I think Xiao Ye definitely hasn't told you about his father!"
Tang Qiuyue nodded at this, Zhan Zeye had indeed never mentioned it before.
Even if Tang's mother had investigated Zhan Zeye, it was only about the people in the Zhan family who were still alive at the time, and she did not mention Zhan's father.
After all, he has been dead for so many years.
"Actually, your father-in-law still has quite a few relatives, but they stopped communicating because Xiao Ye went crazy and almost killed someone!"
From Zhan's mother, Tang Qiyue learned some things about the Zhan family.
It turns out that Zhan's mother and father got married at the behest of their parents and a matchmaker, but they were both from poor families, so it's understandable that there was no love between them in this blind marriage.
Zhan's father is a typical alcoholic.
He not only likes to drink but also likes to beat people. The key is that he is not very capable and dares not do anything outside, so he can only go home and beat his wife and children.
What's even worse is that Zhan's father is a foolishly filial man. He listens to his parents' words, but those parents are partial to each other and he dislikes Zhan's father the most.
It may be that the less spoiled a child is, the more he or she desires approval from his or her parents.
After Zhan's father got married, all the good things in the family were stuffed into the old house. Zhan's mother was a hot-tempered woman, but she couldn't beat her husband. If it weren't for her children, she would have almost given up.
After Zhan Chunying was born, life at home became even more difficult. Since she was a girl, her father disliked her even more. If he had not gotten drunk in the middle of winter and frozen to death outside, Zhan Chunying might have been sold.
At the end of her memory, Zhan's mother told Tang Qiyue: "Chunying must have grown up too early. She was bullied by the people in the old house and disliked by her biological father. Plus, she is very sensitive, so she is afraid of meeting a husband like her father!"
Tang Qiuyue felt very sympathetic towards Zhan Chunying.
I can understand why Zhan Chunying is pessimistic about marriage.
Although Brother Zhan and Sister-in-law Zhan seem to be very harmonious on the surface, they have experienced several twists and turns in the middle. Only they themselves know that their lives are a mess.
Only Zhan Zeye and Tang Qiyue seem to be living a good life, but there are problems with how they got married in the first place.
"I originally thought Chunying had no intention of getting married in her lifetime. I figured that as time went on, either she or I would have to compromise. I never thought she would suddenly say she wanted to get married!"
Mother Zhan sighed.
"I don't expect her to change her mind about marriage, I just hope she can be happier. If she ever feels wronged in the future, you and your sister-in-law must help her!"
Zhan's mother reminded her, and Tang Qiyue said that she would definitely protect Zhan Chunying.
"She actually told me that she didn't want to have children in this lifetime, but how can we not sleep together after getting married? Sleeping together will result in children sooner or later!"
Zhan's mother's face was full of anticipation, but she had no idea that Zhan Chunying had already prevented this matter at the source.
