Chapter 369 Your Daughter Got Married
That evening, after eating the rice, she thought it smelled really good, but unfortunately, no one in her family made her feel at ease.
The next day, Zhang Weihong went to find Shen Zhixia.
Her face was full of sadness, and she told Shen Zhixia about it.
“They say I’m selfish, disrespectful to my daughter, and don’t care about her. I’m her biological mother, how could I not care about her? I’m just too worried about my daughter, which is why I don’t let her marry far away. Did I really do something wrong?” Zhang Weihong choked up as she said this.
“I don’t know what Wang Jianhua was thinking. He even supported his daughter’s decision. His daughter is young and has no experience in society. She doesn’t understand anything and is easily deceived. But Wang Jianhua is not like that. Why can’t he help persuade his daughter and stand on my side?”
Shen Zhixia asked, "Where is she going to marry? Is it far away?"
“It’s far away, to the Tibetan region. My daughter has never been to such a far place in her life. She has always been well-behaved and stayed at home, never going beyond the bounds of the law. I really didn’t expect that a boy from another place would deceive her. The boy’s family had fled here before, which shows that the area was very chaotic. The security has improved a little in recent years, so they are going back. My daughter wants to marry into that area.”
Zhang Weihong became angry as she spoke: "I just don't understand how they could go to a place like that. What if things get chaotic again? And it's so far away. If something happens to my daughter, I won't be able to help. I don't ask much of her. I just hope she's okay and safe."
Thinking about what happened yesterday, Zhang Weihong's stomach ached with anger: "I did everything for my daughter's good. Wang Jianhua should have spoken up for me, but instead, she said I wasn't letting go, that I wasn't giving my daughter freedom. She went on and on, basically attacking me, telling me to respect my daughter's thoughts, and that I was selfish and wanted to keep my daughter by my side to take care of her in her old age. It really made me furious. I never expected my daughter to take care of me in my old age. I was just worried that she would be bullied."
"Those two are quite something, actually standing together to refute me."
At this point, Zhang Weihong got so angry that her head started to ache.
Shen Zhixia said, "Marrying far away is indeed very risky. If something happens in the future, there will be no one to take care of you."
Transportation is not well-developed now, and there are no cell phones. It's quite troublesome to go anywhere. If she marries far away, she probably won't see him for many years, and it will be difficult to keep in touch. It's normal for Zhang Weihong, as a mother, to worry.
As a man, Wang Jianhua probably couldn't think about these things carefully, while Zhang Weihong's daughter was young and would do anything for love.
Therefore, Zhang Weihong was not actually wrong.
Shen Zhixia thought for a moment and said, "Since you don't agree, your daughter can't marry into that family. You just need to stop it, but your daughter might resent you."
Marrying far away in this era is a big problem. No one can afford to gamble on the future. Zhang Weihong's daughter impulsively wanted to marry someone so far away. Even if she resents Zhang Weihong for the time being, at least Zhang Weihong protected her.
Shen Zhixia shared the same thought as Zhang Weihong. She believed that love and marriage were two different things. Wang Jianhua was a company commander and did well locally, so his daughter would live a good life as long as she found a husband locally. However, if she went to a faraway place and was bullied, there would be no way to seek justice.
Zhang Weihong sighed and said, "I'm not afraid of her resentment towards me, as long as she can be happy. I'm just afraid that her marriage will be unhappy and she will be bullied. After all, marriage is a big deal, and one wrong move can change one's fate. She has always lived in a greenhouse and has never experienced any setbacks, but this time... sigh."
Shen Zhixia didn't offer any opinions and listened to Zhang Weihong's story. Zhang Weihong's daughter was always very well-behaved and usually listened to her. However, regarding this marriage, she had her own ideas and was completely disobedient.
Zhang Weihong wanted to stop her, but these kinds of things aren't something you can just stop. After all, her daughter is a person, and if she really wants to do something, how can she really stop her?
I just find it quite annoying.
Just then, Zhang Weihong's daughter returned from outside. She was tall and slender, with delicate features and a soft voice, completely different from Zhang Weihong.
"Mom, I'm sorry."
Zhang Weihong wasn't actually angry with her; she was just angry because she hadn't cared enough about her daughter. She had several children, and as her daughter grew up, she had always left her in her hometown. Her daughter also had a job, and she had always thought there wouldn't be any problems. But after this incident, she was truly slapped in the face.
If she had known her daughter would be tricked away by a boy from another place, she should have let her daughter go with the military; at least then she wouldn't have to worry about her.
Zhang Weihong sighed and said, "Forget it, you don't need to apologize to me. My tone wasn't very good before, and I shouldn't have put pressure on you. The fact that you found such a partner is also because I didn't care enough about you and didn't notice. In the end, I was also at fault."
"Mom, even if I marry far away, I will still come home every year. I will also take care of anything that happens at home. No matter what, you will always be my mom."
She looked at Zhang Weihong, her tone very serious, as if she had made up her mind.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Weihong felt angry, perhaps angry at herself, or perhaps angry at Wang Jianhua. In any case, she felt that she had not raised her daughter well.
Even now, my daughter still wants to marry someone from far away.
She still disagreed.
“I still stand by my point of view. I do not agree to this marriage,” Zhang Weihong said, frowning. “You need to know that marrying far away carries a lot of risks. You can’t predict what will happen in the future. I can’t let you suffer like that.”
"Mom, but no one can predict the future. No matter what choice we make, it can never be perfect. Since that's the case, we might as well choose the one I think is right right now. I don't want to argue with you anymore. I rarely make my own decisions in my life, but this time I feel that I have to choose this way."
Zhang Weihong closed her eyes.
Perhaps because Shen Zhixia was around, she didn't argue with her daughter, but her face was full of displeasure.
But after that, Shen Zhixia rarely heard them arguing anymore.
A few days later, Zhang Weihong's daughter left. She had to work and had only taken a few days off to visit them. Rather than visiting, she came specifically to discuss marriage with them, but she didn't expect to be met with strong opposition from Zhang Weihong.
Zhang Weihong never accepted the man she had found. She even planned to go back to him, but Wang Jianhua refused.
"What are you going back for? She's going back to work, but you don't need to work."
“I… I’m just worried about her,” Zhang Weihong said.
“You’re just worried about who she’s dating. Our daughter is all grown up now. Whether she dates or not is her own business. I think you just want to control her,” Wang Jianhua said.
Zhang Weihong said angrily, "Enough, Wang Jianhua, shut up! Nobody likes to hear what you're saying."
In the end, she did not go back with her daughter. After all, Wang Jianhua was right; she couldn't go back to monitor her daughter all the time. Everyone has their own things to do, and she still had to take care of her young child here. So she planned to go back and have a good talk with her daughter when she had time.
However, to her surprise, her daughter got married after returning home.
She received a letter from her daughter.
Upon hearing this news, Zhang Weihong was so angry she felt like she was going to vomit blood.
She pushed open the door and exclaimed excitedly, "Wang Jianhua, you've really gone too far!"
Wang Jianhua was lying in bed when he slowly yawned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Your daughter is getting married!" Zhang Weihong exclaimed.
