In fact, Sun Mu'en was also observing her brother's attitude while narrating.
Having not denied it several times, Sun Mu'en had already realized that her brother's feelings for Ruan Meng were unusual.
They just didn't realize it, or perhaps it was just their inner turmoil.
Sun Mu'en knew all too well her brother's pride and arrogance; he would like something but say no, and even if he wanted it, he would pretend to be indifferent.
The fact that they never denied it several times is enough to explain the situation.
Sun Mu'en became increasingly serious and finally spoke her mind, which she had kept hidden for a long time.
"My brother knows that when I thought I was about to give up, what was my biggest regret?"
Sun Chengen's gaze darkened, clearly indicating that he did not want to think about it further.
Sun Mu'en smiled and answered, "Besides not being able to continue being there for my parents and brother, what I regret isn't being able to get married and become a mother..."
"It's that I can no longer enjoy things. My brother knows I like painting, right?"
Sun Chengen nodded, his expression somewhat grave.
He knew that if his sister had only a casual liking for him, he might not have felt so regretful.
He once proudly showed his sister's paintings to his friends, who unanimously praised them, including renowned artists.
But he thought that the other party might have been emotionally involved, so he asked A Yuan to use an alias and deliver it to a famous painter. When the other party asked who the painter was, Sun Chengen was shocked!
Unfortunately, whenever my younger sister paints, she forgets to eat and sleep, spending long hours hunched over her desk, which drains her energy and accelerates the stiffness of her limbs...
Sun Chengen's attitude was even more resolute than his parents'; he wouldn't allow his younger sister to paint until her health improved.
He felt heartbroken whenever he thought of his sister's despair at that time.
At this moment, his younger sister brought it up again, and he was thinking about his connection with Ruan Meng.
Sun Mu'en said, "Brother, when we were young, Father taught us not to be attached to appearances, but to look at the big picture."
"Brother, what do you think Sister Ruan values most right now?"
With his younger sister's reminder so obvious, how could Sun Chengen not have thought of it?
Ruan Meng is wholeheartedly devoted to her seafood business, wanting to take care of her family and help her family and villagers live a better life.
Sun Mu'en asked, "Brother, do you think Sister Ruan is considering marriage at this time?"
Although Ruan Meng will not be of marriageable age until next year.
If someone else had brought this up, Sun Chengen would have been too lazy to answer, but since it was his sister who asked, he thought about it seriously and shook his head.
Sun Mu'en smiled with satisfaction, "I think so too."
“Once a woman gets married, she has to take care of her family and bear many responsibilities. Even if her husband’s family is open-minded, the time she can devote to her parents’ home is always limited.”
"But right now, Sister Ruan's thoughts are entirely on her family. I heard that Brother Ruan's health is also not very good. Just as my brother worries about me, Sister Ruan, with your abilities, will you also worry about my brother's health, and the marriages of your two brothers?"
Sun Mu'en pointed out the crux of the matter, "If she gets married, she definitely won't be able to manage both things. Besides, the Ruan family hasn't fully recovered yet. Sister Ruan still has many things she wants to do, so marriage is definitely not her first choice."
Sun Chengen nodded in agreement.
Sun Mu'en further analyzed, "Why don't we look at it from a different angle? Since Sister Ruan isn't considering marriage for the time being, if you haven't thought things through yet, brother, why not give yourself a chance for your feelings for Sister Ruan? In this process, at least don't get sidelined."
She knew that at least her brother didn't reject the option of Sister Ruan.
Over the years, countless women have been introduced to him by the clan, but my brother not only didn't care, he was practically oblivious to it all.
"If in the future, when the Ruan family business is on the right track, and Sister Ruan has the energy to think about herself, and Brother also realizes that he truly has feelings for Sister Ruan..."
"Even if Sister Ruan is a convict, with her abilities, who in the clan would dare to oppose the Ruan family's development to such an extent?"
Although Mr. and Mrs. Sun doted on Sun Chengen, the Sun family was a large clan, and the elders and relatives valued Sun Chengen highly and were more concerned about his marriage than their own sons.
Normally speaking, even if she were the daughter of a former censor, as a convict, if she were to actually get married, the resistance from her clan would be considerable.
"My sister is thinking too soon!"
Sun Chengen patted his sister's head, but he knew in his heart that his sister was absolutely right.
"Yes! I'm just afraid that if I let my brother have his way, he'll drive people away before he's even figured things out!"
After Sun Mu'en's reminder, Sun Cheng'en's inner turmoil indeed vanished.
My sister is right. There's really no need to offend someone who values relationships and even saved her sister.
As for his feelings for Ruan Meng...
A stubborn person, even if they think about it in their heart, will never admit defeat.
But her sister's reminder was indeed crucial. Whether for the sake of the clan's business or for future possibilities, helping the Ruan family develop was always the right thing to do.
If Sun Chengen knew that while he was struggling with his dilemma, the people in the carriage were all condemning him, I wonder what he would think...
