Chen Shengnan smiled awkwardly and didn't reply.
What are you talking about? They're just stating the absolute truth.
When Chen Shengnan arrived at her own land, her face was almost frozen with a smile.
Mr. Chen was happy and happily helped her remove the weeds.
While weeding, Chen's father said, "You said that the reason you were able to get good grades and go to university when you were sent to the countryside was because a good friend helped you out?"
Chen Shengnan nodded; "Yes, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't even have been able to go to a vocational school."
After a moment's thought, Mr. Chen asked, "Where is your friend studying now?"
"Kyo City University"
Although Chen's father was a farmer, he still knew about Peking University.
A top-tier university in the country, it seems Sheng Nan's friend is truly extraordinary.
To get into such a good university, and then, with just a little teaching, even my own child got into university too.
I imagine that person must be extremely intelligent.
Now my daughter is getting more and more conflicted, getting stuck in a dead end, always thinking about her son and refusing to listen to what she says. But if I let her go to that friend and explain her current situation, she'll definitely be able to help my daughter understand things immediately.
This home is not a good place for my brother.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace in weeding: "When you get back, write a letter to your friend."
Chen Shengnan asked in confusion, "I just wrote a letter to her a few days ago."
Mr. Chen knew his daughter well; she always spoke well of her and never mentioned her difficulties.
He and her mother really wronged her back then. They knew she was having a hard time in the countryside, but they still took a lot of money from her to subsidize her two older sisters.
At the time, we really regarded her as the pillar of our family, and we would turn to her whenever we encountered problems.
Knowing that her two older sisters were about to get married, she felt she had to contribute something.
Back then, she never mentioned her difficulties in her letters; she only talked about how lucky she was, how she found a lot of nuts on the mountain, made a lot of money from them, and how she met some very good friends.
They didn't say a word about how hard it was to work in the fields, how much strength it took to carry those nuts down the mountain to sell.
Looking back now, I think the children must have felt some resentment towards them.
When she first came back, she was quite unfamiliar with them.
It was only after this return that their relationship became a little closer.
“This time is different. Write down all the difficulties you're facing in the letter and let her give you some advice. I feel your friend is definitely more insightful than you are, and it will save me from seeing you acting so pathetic every day; it makes me so angry.”
When Chen Shengnan wrote the letter that day, she hadn't originally intended to write about Jiang Jin's sister-in-law's brother.
It was her father who insisted on adding it. After the letter was written, she had to read it to him. After listening, he complained, "You should add the facts and let her analyze it for you. She's smarter than you and can definitely come up with a solution for you."
Chen Shengnan wrote it as her father had requested.
During this time, Chen's father was anxiously waiting for Su Li's reply. Every day, he would ask the postman if there was any letter from his daughter, which made Chen Shengnan laugh.
"Dad, please don't make things difficult for the postman every day. He'll deliver the mail when it arrives."
On the day that Chen's father had been waiting for, the postman finally delivered Su Li's letter.
The postman breathed a sigh of relief; the letter had finally arrived. He was afraid that if it hadn't come soon, Old Chen would have stopped him from leaving. There was also a large package attached.
He hurriedly took the letter and package back to his daughter, saying, "Shengnan, quickly check, your friend has sent a letter."
Seeing her father so excited, like a child, Chen Shengnan smiled and opened the letter.
"Shengnan, don't just read it yourself. Read it aloud. I want to hear what your friend has to say."
Chen Shengnan said helplessly, "Shengnan, I am aware of the situation you mentioned. If it were me, my only requirement for him would be that we separate from the family after marriage, otherwise I cannot marry into this family and it will drag you down."
There were some more questions about how she was doing lately, but Chen Shengnan didn't read them.
Although Mr. Chen felt there was some truth to the letter, he still theoretically did not want his daughter to marry into the family.
But he also knew that if he pushed her too far, she might impulsively run off with that guy.
“Shengnan, look what your friend said. If he’s willing to separate the family, we can consider it. After you get married, you can still live at home. That way, your parents won’t worry about you being mistreated. Anyway, our house is big enough.”
"Dad, what you're saying won't do. If we do that, wouldn't Jiang Jin become a live-in son-in-law? What will people think of him then?"
"Look at it from any angle. My daughter is so beautiful and a college graduate. What's wrong with him becoming a live-in son-in-law?"
