Late at night, the hospital room was dimly lit, but the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
Jiang Haiyang sat by his younger sister Jiang Haitang's hospital bed and gently advised his mother: "Mom, my sister is right. She's not a little girl anymore. She knows what she's doing."
You don't need to worry about that.
She and Yu Pingan have spent a lot of time together, so naturally she knows whether they are compatible or not. It's something that we outsiders can't judge for them.
Don't you think so?
Jiang Haiyang thought his parents would understand, but to his surprise, his mother frowned and objected immediately.
He felt that no one else could interfere in matters of the heart, because only the people involved could truly know how they felt about each other.
"Haiyang, you're still single yourself, what do you know? You're already thirty, aren't you in a hurry?"
Jiang's mother raised her voice, her emotions running high, "If you hadn't suffered emotional losses, would you still be unmarried?"
If it weren't for that back then..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang's father interrupted him.
"Why are you bringing up our son when we're talking about the crabapple blossoms?" Jiang's father looked helpless and quickly tried to smooth things over, "It's getting late, we should go back to sleep."
I have to get up early for work tomorrow!
Let the ocean keep me company here.
Without saying a word, Jiang's father gently pulled Jiang's mother's arm and led her out of the ward.
"Why are you pulling me? Did I say something wrong?" Jiang's mother angrily shook off her husband's hand, her eyes reddening. "Back then, Haiyang was so devoted to that Xu Yueru, and what happened?"
She went abroad, and before she even graduated, she wrote back to dump our son and then married a foreigner.
Now that your daughter is so infatuated, aren't you afraid she'll follow in your son's footsteps?
Jiang's mother's words were like a knife, piercing the memories deep in Jiang Haiyang's heart.
Those memories, buried by the dust of time, suddenly flooded my mind.
Because of this failed relationship, Jiang Haiyang became cautious about dating and marriage. He would either make excuses to avoid blind dates or feel that they were not a good match after getting to know each other.
Over time, his parents had no choice but to give up and stop pressuring him.
But now, her daughter's relationship problems are causing Jiang's mother anxiety again.
“How can that be the same!” Jiang’s father patiently persuaded his wife, his voice gentle. “Our son himself didn’t want to go abroad with Yue Ru, saying he was worried about his family. He did it for us.”
They live so far apart and aren't married, so it's not wrong for the girl not to want a long-distance relationship.
Please stop bringing this up; it makes our son very upset.
“Fine, even so, everyone has different pursuits.” Jiang’s mother was still indignant. “But shouldn’t she return the money her son spent working to support her studies abroad?”
That Xu Yueru is just taking advantage of our son; she's a foreign worshipper and a vain person!
Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. Just mentioning her makes me angry!
Seeing that his wife's emotions had calmed down a bit, Jiang's father continued, "Don't worry, Yu Ping'an is definitely not that kind of person."
This child is honest and responsible.
"Isn't your only concern that your daughter will regret it later, and that Ping An won't treat her well?"
"How about this, you give this young man a good test and see what he's really like."
Jiang's father began to use delaying tactics.
After thinking about it, Jiang's mother felt that her husband's words made sense, so she reluctantly nodded, which was considered as her agreement.
In the hospital room, Jiang Haitang looked guilty, her eyes reddening: "Big brother, I'm sorry, because of my matter, you were scolded."
Jiang Haiyang waved his hand with a wry smile, pretending to be relaxed: "Little sister, it's okay, Mom didn't do it on purpose."
So many years have passed, I don't feel anything about that anymore, sister, you don't need to worry about it.
Fortunately, Dad took Mom away, so you don't have to listen to her nagging anymore.
Don't resent her. Your mother is doing this for your own good, afraid you'll suffer and regret it later.
Jiang Haitang sniffed and nodded understandingly: "Big brother, I know Mom is doing this for my own good. I'm not a child anymore."
But don't worry, I won't blame her. We're the only two children your parents have.
"By the way, brother, let's not talk about me anymore. What about you? You're not really going to remain celibate for Sister Yue Ru and never get married, are you?"
"If you don't get married, your parents will be so heartbroken. When will they be able to hold their grandchildren?"
Listen to your sister's advice: there are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one?
Although Sister Yue Ru is a good person, she's very ambitious. How can our small county town keep her here?
Jiang Haitang and Xu Yueru were good friends, but she never expected that one day she would dump her older brother.
Jiang Haiyang smiled, his eyes full of tenderness and magnanimity: "I'm fine. Look at me, I'm happy every day."
Little sister, don't worry, I'm not sad for Xu Yueru, I just haven't met a girl I like yet.
As you know, I'd rather have nothing than something bad.
It's better not to start than to force things and end up unhappy later, so everyone avoids suffering.
"Big brother, don't you want a child of your own?"
"At your age, other people's kids are already old enough to run errands." Jiang Haitang asked with a concerned look.
“I’m not in a hurry about having children,” Jiang Haiyang patiently explained. “If you get married just to have children, wouldn’t that harm the children?”
Let nature take its course!
I'm only thirty; I can still have children when I'm forty.
Jiang Haitang breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm relieved that you're not staying married because of Yue Ru."
I really don't know what kind of girl could catch your eye. Sigh..."
Jiang Haiyang reached out and patted his younger sister's head, teasingly saying, "You little rascal, you're starting to worry about me now."
I should think about how to get past my parents first!
Ping An finally mustered up the courage to confess his feelings to you. If he knew his parents weren't too happy with him as their future son-in-law, he might back out.
"Impossible, he won't back down."
Jiang Haitang quickly shook her head, her face full of confidence, "He's not that cowardly."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "I won't tell him. Anyway, he won't have time to come see me these few days, so he won't know about this."
My parents don't come to the hospital during the day either.
"Little sister, don't forget, tomorrow and the day after are Saturday and Sunday, Mom and Dad don't have to work," Jiang Haiyang reminded her with a smile.
"Oh well, never mind." Jiang Haitang sighed, feigning nonchalance. "If he backs down just because of this little test, then forget it."
If he can't even withstand this small test, what can we expect from him in the future?
As they spoke, the two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere in the ward became much more relaxed.
