For some reason, Jin Yong was determined to marry Xia Yujiao.
For some reason, Xia Yujiao was definitely unwilling to marry Jin Yong.
Zhou has decided to support her daughter, even at the risk of her life.
Although her plan has not yet taken shape, it is only a matter of time.
However, Jin Yong's sincerity or strategy ultimately disrupted Zhou's progress.
Jin Yong’s hard work in moving his mother here was not in vain.
As the saying goes, old ginger is the spiciest.
This time, Jin Yong's mother was frank and open about several things that made Old Man Xia and Mrs. Zhou reconsider the marriage:
Firstly, Jin Yong hadn't come to visit recently, not because his proposal wasn't sincere, but because he had been away on urgent military duty. This time, Jin Yong had done a good job, making a significant contribution, and he was about to be promoted. It was only a half-level increase, but it was still a promotion. This showed that Jin Yong had a promising future.
Despite all her good qualities, Xia Yujiao was ultimately just an ordinary peasant girl. Opportunities to marry an official of the imperial court as his principal wife, or even as a concubine, were rare. She feared that if she missed this opportunity, it would be gone forever.
Secondly, Jin Yong had rashly brought a matchmaker to her house, which was not right and impolite. But this was a sign of his esteem for Xia Yujiao and his eagerness to marry her.
Didn't this time drag me, the old lady, out? Admitting one's mistakes and correcting them is a great virtue. The sincerity of one's own family is actually quite sufficient. Since Xia Yujiao will eventually get married, why not consider one's own family?
Thirdly, Xia Yujiao was an unmarried young girl, and it was possible that she didn't want to be someone's stepmother. As long as Xia Yujiao was willing to marry in, the old lady was willing to raise Jin Yong's children by her side, without Xia Yujiao having to worry about them or get along with her stepchildren. Or she could just give them away for adoption.
…
The old lady also said some other things, but these were the ones that impressed Mr. Xia and Mrs. Zhou the most.
After hearing these words, Xia Yujiao said to Jin Yong, "Why are you doing this?"
Jin Yong didn't dare to say a word in front of everyone.
But in fact, every time he saw Xia Yujiao's face and figure, he felt like there was a fire burning in his heart.
If he couldn't marry Xia Yujiao, he was afraid that this fire would burn him to death.
Jin Yong didn't say anything, but his face became redder and redder.
Jin Yong's old mother smiled and said:
"Oh my, look at my son. He hasn't been shy in years, but now he's so shy! It's obvious he's really moved."
Having said this, she paused and then said to Zhou:
"As a mother, I know that if you don't agree to this marriage, it's probably because you're afraid that my family is an official and yours is a commoner.
But you guys love your daughter so much.
I can't help but worry that if Yong'er and Madam Xia's relationship changes in the future, I'm afraid that given your family background, you won't be able to protect Madam Xia.
I'm just going to leave this out here today.
If the relationship between Yong'er and Madam Xia changes in the future, I will allow Madam Xia to divorce Yong'er, and Madam Xia can take her dowry and children with her."
This is such a generous statement!
However, although Jin Yong's face was full of joy and Xia Yujiao seemed to be somewhat relieved, Old Man Xia and Mrs. Zhou both felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
Because Jin Yong had a wife before.
She even gave birth to several children for him!
Didn’t my daughter-in-law suddenly fall ill and die some time ago?
If it weren't for this incident, the old couple might have been moved by Jin Yong's mother's words.
But perhaps it was precisely because Jin Yong's mother's words were too nice that they aroused the old couple's vigilance and discouraged their original intention.
The emotion on Xia Yujiao's face did not seem fake. Zhou planned to wait until Jin Yong and the others left before asking her daughter what she thought.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yujiao refused again after a moment:
"Thank you for your kindness, Aunt Jin. Yujiao has no way to repay you, so I will kowtow to you." As she said this, Xia Yujiao knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jin Yong's mother.
Everyone in the room was stunned. What did this mean?
Xia Yujiao immediately stood up and looked at Jin Yong, Jin Yong's mother, and her own parents.
She closed her eyes, mustered her courage, and when she opened them again, they were already filled with tears, but her voice was still clear and steady:
"Dad, Mom, I am an unfilial daughter and have brought shame upon you."
"Aunt Jin, Yujiao already thanks you for your kindness, but I'm sorry I can't accept it."
"Jin Yong, I know how you feel about me. But I don't want to."
Jin Yong was anxious:
"Why?"
Xia Yujiao's voice trembled a little, but she still said it:
"If you hadn't forced yourself on me and taken my virginity, I wouldn't necessarily refuse your marriage proposal now that you've come to me. Although I wouldn't be interested in marrying someone above my station, I wouldn't necessarily refuse."
"But from the first time you violated me, it was destined that I would never be willing to marry you."
"Later, you forced and violated me several times. Although I didn't speak out or report it to the police, I refused every time I faced you."
At this point, Xia Yujiao was already in tears and sobbing.
Jin Yong couldn't help but reach out his hand, wanting to hug Xia Yujiao, but Old Man Xia and Madam Zhou were already furious and shouted in unison: "You beast!" "What are you doing?"
Jin Yong's mother's expression also turned extremely ugly, and she pushed Jin Yong and said:
"Is everything she said true?"
Jin Yong nodded blankly.
He couldn't understand why. He had already made things a fait accompli, given her enough face, ran to Old Xia's house several times, and even invited his own mother to come out...
Why is Xia Yujiao still unwilling to marry him?
Jin Yong's mother was so angry that she started to speak without thinking:
"How could I give birth to such a beast like you!"
"Ah? Mom, you scolded me?"
"Scolding you is too mild! I'm going to beat you too!"
Jin Yong's mother picked up her walking stick and hit Jin Yong.
Jin Yong dodged hastily, but was still hit a little by the crutch, leaving a mark on his face:
"Mom! How could you do this to me?"
Jin Yong's mother ignored him and scolded him, "I allow you to do such a thing, but I won't let you learn a lesson?"
He chased Jin Yong around the house with a cane in his hand, beating him so hard that he ran away in panic.
Both Old Master Xia and Mrs. Zhou looked extremely ugly.
Jin Yong's mother is not a simple person.
Although her son was a beast, her reaction speed was really fast.
When he came to persuade me to reconsider this marriage, he spoke better than I could sing.
When she heard about what Jin Yong had done, she took the initiative to take action, which made it difficult for her to directly hit Jin Yong to vent her anger.
