Xia's mother wasn't as optimistic as Xia's father; she thought that as long as they disagreed, the matter could be resolved.
Given Xia Ning's personality, the fact that she brought the item home means she must have quite a high opinion of the person.
In other words, this family has already won Xia Ning over.
Given her daughter's stubborn nature, she wouldn't give up easily unless the man married someone else like Tang Zixuan.
And the other family, having married a daughter like her, certainly wouldn't let it go easily.
Both parties agreed that Xia Ning's household registration was still on the farm, which made the matter very difficult.
If Xia Ning is fooled into getting a letter of introduction and a marriage certificate in the countryside, then it will be too late.
Xia's mother said with a troubled expression:
"It's really a case of the mountains being high and the emperor being far away; it's difficult to stop them even if we want to. I think we should have agreed to Tang Zixuan's request back then; at least he's healthy and under our noses!"
Xia's father snorted coldly:
"Tang Zixuan? He's just a guy who's all messy and incompetent, yet incredibly arrogant. I'd rather my daughter marry a cripple or a fool; at least they wouldn't cause any real trouble!"
Xia's mother said irritably:
"You may be willing, but I'm not. Why should my perfectly good daughter marry a cripple or an idiot? I think you never thought about what was best for your daughter!"
Seeing that Xia's mother was truly angry, Xia's father immediately backed down and tried to appease her:
"Look at your temper! It was just a slip of the tongue. It's not that serious, it's not that serious. Our daughter's marriage isn't settled yet, is it? Maybe the young man is perfect in every way, or maybe he's the one our daughter is looking for!"
Xia's mother turned her head and said:
"What are you dreaming about? Don't you know your daughter's personality? Besides, what kind of family lives on a farm? Do you think ordinary families would make dried meat?"
"Alright, alright, I can't count on you for anything. I have to go myself. Besides, I'm worried about my older brother and Dad!"
She was already worried about her older brother and father, and now that her daughter had caused this trouble, Xia's mother had no choice but to go.
Xia's father knew he couldn't stop it, and sighed:
"I'll talk to my superiors and I'll go with you!"
Xia's mother shook her head and said:
"You can't leave. If you go, you'll attract too much attention, which won't be good for your older brother and Dad. I can go by myself!"
Xia's father instructed:
"You can go, but keep your temper in check. No matter what kind of person they are, don't argue with your daughter!"
Neither mother nor daughter has a good temper, and Xia's father is very worried about Xia's mother!
Xia's mother agreed:
"I know what's important. The more we argue, the further we'll push them. I just want to see what's really going on!"
Xia Ning had no idea that her little matter had led her parents to speculate so much.
She took a nice bath and lay in bed unable to fall asleep, thinking about the things Zhong Songbai had secretly prepared, a smile on her face.
I don't know what to bring back for Songbai, Wanwan, and Xiaobaiyang when I go back.
Actually, the three of them don't lack anything. Why don't we take the wine and tea that her dad has hidden back with us? We can use them to make tea eggs and stew meat!
Okay, it's decided then!
Xia's father was unaware that his home was about to be raided, and that his iron armor was becoming increasingly leaky!
Xia Ning brought back quite a few things. Besides keeping some for her own family, her mother also packed some for her eldest and second brothers' families, preparing to take them back to their homes.
After the family finished eating, they sat on the sofa watching TV. Xia's mother then began to pave the way for their trip to the farm:
"I'm still a little worried about your eldest uncle and maternal grandfather. When Xia Ning goes back, I'll go with them to see how they're doing."
Xia Ning frowned and said:
