Zhou Ling'an looked unwell and stepped forward to block Song Ning's path.
It's not what you see.
Song Ning raised her hand: "I understand, I understand everything."
Zhou Ling'an was indeed not the kind of person who would have an affair with a woman, but the girl liked him anyway.
She understood that Zhou Ling'an had always been particularly popular with girls.
“You don’t understand.” Zhou Ling’an’s voice was unusually deep, and a serious expression appeared on his face.
"Actually... it's a good thing you came, otherwise, that girl would have called for help just now."
According to Zhou Ling'an, the girl came from Yuanzhou.
When he went to the academy to register last time, he was pestered by that girl.
He never expected that they would now track him down to Tianxiang County, which was a real headache for him.
No matter how much he tried to persuade or refuse, she wouldn't listen; she was even more difficult to deal with than Xu Jiaojiao had been.
This time, they even went so far as to use his own reputation to force him to comply.
Song Ning: I feel like you're subtly criticizing me.
"I think that girl is quite nice. She's pretty, and judging from her clothes, she must come from a wealthy family..."
Zhou Ling'an's face turned even uglier, and Song Ning suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly shut her mouth.
Given Zhou Ling'an's current physical condition, he definitely cannot get married.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Zhou Ling'an gave a wry smile: "So you knew all along."
How could I not know?
"Don't you... think I'm a useless person?" Zhou Ling'an asked, his head bowed, his voice filled with undisguised disappointment.
Song Ning immediately waved his hand: "How could that be? You are a good student and the most promising person in our county. Your future is limitless."
In life, everyone encounters various hardships. We must learn to look forward. Besides, this kind of thing won't be your whole life. Even if you can't get married, it won't stop you from contributing to our Jin Dynasty in the future.
Song Ning gave herself a thumbs up in her mind. Listening to what she just said, it was truly inspirational and motivational.
She had seen plenty of young men like Zhou Ling'an in her past life. When he was in a bad mood, she would try to comfort him and he would eventually accept it.
Besides, she hasn't given up yet; maybe her spring water will come in handy.
"You...you won't dislike me?" Zhou Ling'an's eyes lit up.
"Don't mind, it's not a big deal. Besides, you're better than most men, why would you mind?"
What is she complaining about? People with disabilities deserve respect, and besides, his situation is much better than that of a person with disabilities.
At least it won't affect daily life.
"Don't worry, maybe your illness will get better someday?"
So, don't give up on the young man.
"Alright, I have something to do, so I'll be going now. If you need any help from me, just let me know."
For a woman to discuss such an embarrassing topic with a man is truly...
Zhou Ling'an watched Song Ning's departing figure and chuckled to himself.
His mother truly kept her word; even if it meant death, she would never let Song Ning enter the Zhou family.
Well, it's fine. In his current state, even if he were to marry someone in the future, it would only be to harm that person.
Song Ning bought the salt and planned to take a few alleys and shortcuts back home, so he walked in from the alley entrance next to him.
As I was walking, I heard an angry voice coming from the courtyard next door.
"Treason!"
Song Ning was startled when she looked around and realized that she was actually in the backyard of Laifu Restaurant.
Is Master Qiu reprimanding Young Master Qiu?
"Father, why won't you agree?"
This time it was Young Master Qiu's voice, and it sounded like he was asking for something.
Judging from his voice, Master Qiu was quite angry: "You, you unfilial son, don't even think about it!"
Since it was someone else's family matter, Song Ning didn't want to keep eavesdropping outside, so she simply walked away.
When Song Ning returned home, she found that there was a guest at her house, a well-dressed and kind woman.
As soon as Song Ning returned, she greeted him warmly: "This must be Xiao Ning, right? Oh my, what a handsome child."
Liu Yuelan introduced with a smile: "Er Ya, this is the proprietress of Laifu Restaurant. She's just here for a visit."
Liu Yuelan's eyes narrowed into slits with her smile, and Song Ning could tell at a glance that something was amiss.
Her son had just come to see her this morning, and now her mother has arrived.
"So it's Madam Qiu."
“I am on good terms with your mother, so calling her Madam Qiu is too formal. Just call me Auntie.”
Madam Qiu smiled meaningfully on her kind face, which gave Song Ning goosebumps.
But it was clear that her mother was quite satisfied.
The two chatted for a while longer before Mrs. Qiu left. As she left, she held her hand, calling her "Little Ning" on both sides, showing that she really liked her.
"Moon Lady, you must bring Xiao Ning to visit us another day."
As soon as the person left, Song Ning quickly pulled her mother back into the house.
"Mother, what's going on? Why is she here?"
Liu Yuelan laughed and said, "Can't you see that? She's taken a liking to you and wants you to be her daughter-in-law."
Song Ning's vision went black. "Spare her, please."
"Mother, didn't we agree that we wouldn't discuss this matter for now when I take in a son-in-law?"
Liu Yuelan held her hand and said earnestly, "I've thought about this matter and discussed it with your father. I still think it's better for you to get married in the future. I just want you to marry into a good family and live a good life."
Mother knows you don't care what others say, but Mother does care. You're my only child, and I don't want you to suffer.
