Chapter 212: Mother Tang looks at her son-in-law: Something is wrong with the plot
In the kitchen, Qin Shumo's movements were very skillful, and it was obvious that this was not his first time cooking.
Tang Qing was used to this. After all, she knew Qin Shumo's identity. Qin Ziran was a food blogger, and cooking was a professional skill. But Tang's mother was stunned.
This is the brat from the Qin family. Isn't he called the devil? Tang Qing used to complain about Qin Shumo a lot, but now, he has changed a lot.
Qin Shumo quickly prepared the remaining two dishes. The dishes looked good, and his skills made Tang's mother curious about Qin Shumo.
"Shumo, sit here..."
Mother Tang invited Qin Shumo to the restaurant for a homely meal, and there were no outsiders among the three of them.
Qin Shumo looked at Tang's mother, looking a little reserved. "Nimma, what's going on?" Seeing Qin Shumo's reserved look, Tang's mother felt very upset. How could such a good boy be ruined by her own girl?
"Shumo, come and eat. Don't be shy, just treat yourself as if you're at home."
Tang's mother was very enthusiastic, and Qin Shumo nodded. Tang Qing looked at her mother and Qin Shumo, and couldn't help laughing in her heart.
These two people are acting.
One pretended to be her boyfriend, while the other knew about their relationship but pretended not to know. From an outsider's perspective, Tang Qing found this very interesting.
"Shumo, have you found a girlfriend?"
Mother Tang asked with a smile.
"No, no, no..."
Qin Shumo quickly shook his head. Before coming here, Tang Qing had told Qin Shumo a lot of important points to pay attention to. He couldn't admit it at the beginning, and he would have to be forced to admit it later.
"I'm already in college, it's time to find a partner. Why haven't I met a girl I like in school?"
Mother Tang narrowed her eyes, completely unsure of what tricks she was going to use.
"Not really, I just want to learn more while I'm still young."
Qin Shumo said quickly, feeling bitter in his heart, how could he answer this question? Looking at Tang's mother's eyes, Qin Shumo was very panicked.
"You're in college now, so you can study and fall in love without any delay. How about Mother Tang introduce you to someone? I have a little sister. Her daughter is also a sophomore this year. She's very beautiful. Her family is well-off too..."
Tang Qin secretly smiled at what Tang's mother said.
"Mom, Shumo doesn't want to find a girlfriend now, so don't worry about it. Shumo is so handsome and his family is so well-off. Is he still short of girls?"
Tang Qing said quickly.
"That's hard to say. According to you, you're not bad. Why are you still single? Shumo, don't be like your sister Qing. People should do things according to their age. When you're in your twenties, you should fall in love, get married, and pursue your career. Don't put your love life aside under the guise of career..."
Mother Tang couldn't help but retort, she was feeling very conflicted at the moment.
Oh, my daughter is too worrying. I didn't look for one before, but now I found one secretly, and she is still so young. The difference between these two is more than ten years. Isn't this a disaster?
Although it is said that love knows no age, Tang's mother has a very clear understanding of this society. If the man is older than the woman and she is a dozen years older, it may not be a big deal.
But if the woman is more than ten years older than the man, and the man comes from a well-off family, then the relationship will basically not last long, unless there is a psychological problem.
Thinking of this, Mother Tang looked at Qin Shumo.
“Is there an Oedipus complex?”
An answer welled up in Tang's mother's mind. At this moment, she suddenly remembered some of the things Tang Qing had naggled about before. She said how pretentious Qin Shuyao's mother was, how she was always causing trouble, and how eccentric her personality was.
Thinking of this, and looking at Qin Shumo again, Mother Tang swallowed her saliva.
"Shumo, are your parents in good health now?"
Mother Tang couldn't help but ask, and Qin Shumo nodded.
"Well, they're doing fine now. They're all retired, and they don't have much to do every day..."
Qin Shumo said with a smile, and Mother Tang nodded.
At the dinner table, the three people each had their own agenda and chatted intermittently.
"Shumo, Auntie asks you something..."
Finally, Tang's mother couldn't help it. Her words made Qin Shumo look up.
"Shumo, are you and your sister Qing in love?"
Tang's mother asked, her eyes fixed on Qin Shumo's expression. Seeing Qin Shumo's expression change, Tang's mother's heart skipped a beat. Oh, it's confirmed.
"Um, Auntie, I..."
Qin Shumo didn't know how to respond at this moment. This kind of tangle wasn't fake. If he admitted it, he was faking it. If he didn't, Tang Qing would use both carrots and sticks.
"mom……"
Tang Qing also pretended to be anxious and shouted quickly. But the fairy pretended to be a little shy, and this expression made Tang's mother sigh inwardly.
"Hey, actually, I already knew this. It's not the first or second time you've driven your sister Qing back. I'm not such a conservative person, I just wanted to ask you: What are your plans for the future? Your sister Qing, you're not young anymore, you can afford to wait, but your sister Qing can't."
Tang's mother couldn't help but say this. This made Tang Qing stunned. This script was wrong. Shouldn't her mother object? Why did her tone sound like she was urging her to get married?
"Auntie, we've only been together for a short time. And I haven't even graduated from college yet. We want to talk for a while first."
Qin Shumo answered with a stiff upper lip. It's come to this, what else can I say?
"Well, it's okay to talk for a while first."
Mother Tang sighed and looked at Tang Qing, who was silent beside her, with a somewhat depressed expression. What a sin! What a sin! Mother Tang thought she had done nothing immoral in her life, so how could she have encountered such a thing?
"Well, you two can eat. I'm a little tired, I'm going to take a rest. Qingqing, you can see Shumo off later..."
With that, Tang's mother stood up and walked into her bedroom. Seeing her mother's expression, Tang Qing felt a little sad. After all, her mother was almost sixty years old, and she was still worrying about her marriage.
"Sister, what should I do?"
After Tang's mother's bedroom door was closed, Qin Shumo quickly spoke in a low voice.
"It's okay. Leave the rest to me. Are you full? If you are, go back..."
Tang Qing said with a smile.
"Um……"
Qin Shumo nodded, not even caring about eating. He stood up and fled from Tang Qing's house.
After Qin Shumo left, Tang Qing cleaned up the house and then opened her mother's bedroom door. In the bedroom, Tang's mother was sitting on the bed wiping her tears. When she saw Tang Qing come in, she quickly took a tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"Mom, I'm sorry, we..."
Tang Qing looked at her mother and whispered. She felt bad, especially seeing her mother's red eyes. After all, her mother had always loved her so much since she was little. But she had always been rebellious, and the older she got, the more trouble she'd become.
"Qingqing, what's wrong with you? I won't push you anymore. I've figured it out now. You can do whatever makes you happy in the future. I pushed you before because I thought you were old enough to start a family and have someone to take on the responsibility. But who knew you'd be so stubborn..."
Mother Tang sighed, not knowing what to say. She truly felt helpless about her daughter. She'd been pushing her to get married for so many years, only to end up with this result.
Tired, mentally tired, Tang's mother is really tired now. Oh, no need to urge him, his children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, let him live his life as he pleases.
"Mom, I know you're worried about me. But don't worry. I won't mistreat myself, nor will I let myself down. I'm doing very well now, really, Mom. You don't have to worry about me at all. I'm not a child anymore. I know what I'm doing."
Tang Qing couldn't help but say that she was already this old and knew everything.
"Hey, Mom doesn't object to what's going on between you and Shumo. As long as you two are willing, it's up to you. By the way, does Shuyao know about your relationship? Do Shuyao's parents know about it?"
Tang's mother asked.
"I don't know yet..."
Tang Qing said in a low voice.
"Oh, never mind. Just handle your own affairs. I'm really old and don't understand the thoughts of you young people. But Shumo is a good kid. He's not like what you said before. I think this kid is good, polite, and can cook. Apart from being not very tall, there's nothing wrong with him."
Tang Qing suddenly became happy at what her mother said.
"That's now. You didn't meet him before. He was a troublemaker before. But now he's been beaten up by his brother-in-law a few times, and he's learned his lesson..."
Tang Qing said with a smile.
"His brother-in-law Su Yang Su Yang dared to deal with Shu Mo"
Mother Tang asked curiously.
"Why wouldn't you dare, Mom? Let me tell you, Su Yang is the typical person with a white face but a black heart. He is full of evil intentions. When he married Shuyao, everyone opposed it. Shuyao's mother was even more strongly against it. Now, Shuyao's mother, the mother-in-law, likes her son-in-law more and more. She is so fond of him that she shows him off to everyone she meets. Do you know how he did it?"
Speaking of Su Yang, Tang Qing couldn't help but smile.
How is it done?
Mother Tang was also very curious.
"I heard from Shu Mo that Su Yang..."
Tang Qing told her mother how Su Yang dealt with her mother-in-law. Tang Qing knew a little about these things, although she didn't know the details, but she knew the whole routine.
"Hahaha, Su Yang is quite funny. But he's also very smart. Shuyao is so lucky to have found such an outstanding young man. Your father told me that Su Yang is a good boy. There aren't many people your father can praise. Well, I hope the two of them can be happy. After all, there is such a big age gap between them, and Su Yang is so capable. It's okay now, Shuyao is still young. But in ten or twenty years, when Shuyao is old and ugly..."
Mother Tang couldn't help but say.
"Mom, that's all for the future. We young people will handle our own affairs. Besides, even if we get divorced now, it's no big deal. There are so many divorced people. If you're happy, stay together. If you're unhappy, separate. We only have one life, so why bother to compromise?"
Tang Qing's words made Tang's mother sigh again.
"Well, that's it. You can do whatever you want in the future. But Qingqing, if you're planning on having a baby, you should do it sooner rather than later. After all, you're not young anymore. Childbirth becomes more dangerous as a woman gets older. It just so happens that Shumo's parents are still young, and your dad and I are still able to move. If you don't have time to take care of the baby, we'll be able to help you..."
Tang's mother said this directly, which made Tang Qing stunned.
"Mom, what are you talking about? We haven't considered this yet. Shumo is still in college and is a child. He's going to enter the entertainment industry, so we can talk about children later. I hate children the most, they're so noisy. I think being a DINK is good..."
Tang Qing said this, but she was confused.
"What's so good about being a DINK? It's free and easy when you're young. But when you get old, everyone else has children and grandchildren, and celebrates the New Year with great joy. You're all alone in your old age, and how lonely it is. If you get sick, there's no one to take care of you at the hospital. If you have time, go to the hospital and see the difference between those with one child and those with several. Those with one child are exhausted, juggling work and care. Those with multiple children have several people taking turns, and the ward is bustling with activity every day. Well, back then, it was because the policy didn't allow it, and your father and I worked in the government, so there was nothing we could do. If birth control had been relaxed, we would have had at least two or three children..."
Mother Tang couldn't help but say.
"Mom, the country now allows three children. Why don't you and my dad have another one?"
Tang Qing said jokingly.
"You damn girl, what are you talking about? Aren't you ashamed..."
Mother Tang was amused by Tang Qing's words.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Tang Qing couldn't help but laugh. She couldn't help but feel regretful. If she had known about her situation, she should have urged her mother to have a second child sooner.
If I had a younger brother, my mother would definitely not push me so much.
In the bedroom, the mother and daughter actually started a heart-to-heart talk. The atmosphere was quite harmonious, something like this hadn't happened in a long time.
Ever since Tang's mother started urging her to get married, things have been like a war at home. Tang Qing spends less and less time at home, and even when she does, she has less and less to talk about with her mother.
Now that the pressure on marriage has been resolved, the mother and daughter seem to have put aside their grudges and returned to a very comfortable state.
"Oh, it's so late. It's time to go to bed. You should also go to bed early. You still have work tomorrow. I'll call your dad..."
I don't know how long we chatted, but it was already past ten o'clock. Tang's mother said quickly, Tang Qing nodded, and left Tang's mother's room with a smile on her face, a happy smile on her lips.
Tonight, Tang Qing was very happy after their heart-to-heart talk. It was as if the mother and daughter had rediscovered their old happiness. The Tang family had always had a good atmosphere. It was just that Tang's mother had been urging them to get married for the past few years.
Now that he was no longer pushing her, the family atmosphere suddenly became much better. Tang Qing also found this atmosphere very warm.
After Tang Qing left, Tang's mother picked up her cell phone and dialed Tang Zhengyang's number.
