What does a woman want from a sugar cube? Is it because he'll wet the bed, or because it's fun to coax the kids?
Although Bean Sprout was quite afraid of Aunt Wang, she didn't want her mother to have such unrealistic dreams, so Bean Sprout cautiously advised:
"Mom, Sugar Cube and Master Zhong are not a good match. The age difference is too great. Master Zhong is 12 years older than him. Even if it's just a matter of age, 12 years is a whole cycle, which is too much!"
Aunt Wang was so angry she nearly fell over. How could that brat have come up with such a thing as pairing her brother with Zhong Wanwan?
Let alone a 12-year age gap, she would never agree to her son finding someone that much older. Even if her son were the same age as Douya, she wouldn't agree.
For her sugar cube, she needs to find someone gentle and understanding. She absolutely cannot agree to someone like Zhong Wanwan, who is sharp-tongued, unforgiving, and, most importantly, highly skilled in combat.
If a couple has a fight, in most families the man beats the woman, but in her family it's the other way around!
Aunt Wang wished she could poke a hole in the bean sprout's head:
"You pig-brain! What were you thinking? Your brother is only 6 years old. All he knows is peeing and playing in the mud. What does he know!"
Bean sprouts muttered to themselves:
"Then the Zhong family doesn't have anyone suitable. It can't be Xiao Baiyang, can it? He's just tall, but he's still a child!"
Aunt Wang has sharp ears; she immediately heard what Douya said, and her bright little eyes widened in surprise:
"You also think Xiaobaiyang is a good match, right? Actually, you two aren't that many years apart in age, only four years. There's a saying that a woman three years older than her husband is like a gold brick, and you two have married one and a half bricks."
"Besides, younger men are easier to control. They don't know anything yet, so they don't need your guidance. They'll do whatever you tell them to do. They're much more decisive than older men!"
Bean sprouts disagree:
"Mom, Xiaobaiyang is too young. He'll only be 12 after the New Year. Last year at dinner, he was sitting at the children's table. He really doesn't know anything; he's not even fully grown yet!"
Aunt Wang glared at the bean sprouts:
"Who cares if he understands or not? Being young is bad, because young people eat less!"
"So what if he's young? His older brothers and sisters will take better care of him and think of him when there are good things. In the end, won't they all end up giving them to our family?"
"Besides, he has a salary, and he earns extra money by repairing tractors with his sister. With so many good things to have, aren't you envious?"
"If he marries you, Sugar will be his brother-in-law. Should he teach Sugar his skills?"
Bean sprouts nodded subconsciously:
"What else is there to say? If we don't teach our own family, who else would we teach? Of course we have to teach them!"
She has to teach her brother-in-law, of course she has to. He's her only brother from her maternal side, so as the older sister, she has to help him.
Aunt Wang was satisfied and proudly tilted her head back:
"You're quite sensible, knowing to think of your brother when something good happens. He's the one, so hurry up and get him!"
Douya was hesitant. On one hand was Tang Zhiqing, whom she liked, and on the other hand was Xiao Baiyang, who could teach her younger brother a skill. It was a difficult choice.
Douya decided to try again and advised Aunt Wang:
"Mom, if that's really the case, then we're thinking about this too early. How about we wait another 3-4 years?"
In less than 3-4 years, she will definitely make Tang Zhiqing see her good qualities, and she and Tang Zhiqing will definitely be together.
Although Tang Zhiqing doesn't earn as much as Xiao Baiyang right now, one shouldn't only look at immediate gains. Tang Zhiqing's family is from Beijing, which is something Xiao Baiyang can't compare to!
