After hearing what Ma Mingqiang said, Ma Xiulan glared at her brother disapprovingly:
"How could you do this? Aren't you lying? People thought you were marrying off their daughter, but you wanted them to be your son-in-law. You even wanted to wait until the two of you were deeply in love before forcing them to agree."
"Even if Huzi agrees, since he's the only male in the family, his mother will most likely disagree. If the two families start arguing before they even get married, we're still in the wrong. Why bother?"
"Besides, if they really break up because of this, and your daughter still likes him, what will she do if she feels bad?"
"In my opinion, you should give up the idea of finding a son-in-law now. As long as the two children are good, Xiaolian will definitely be filial to you in the future. You can also discuss giving one of the children your surname in the future."
Immediately after the implementation of the family planning policy, there will be many only daughters, and many of them will get married. Whether they are filial or not depends mainly on whether the child is ungrateful, not on whether they are recruiting a son-in-law or marrying a daughter.
Ma Mingqiang also knew what his elder sister said, but he just couldn't bear to leave his daughter. He couldn't help but tear up:
"I have been dependent on my daughter since she was a child. What if she is not under my supervision and gets married and becomes a daughter-in-law and is bullied by her mother-in-law? I can only accept the invitation of a son-in-law."
"Mingqiang, there's no such thing as a good thing where you cut both ends of a carrot. If you want all the benefits, you'll end up picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons."
"You must discuss this with your daughter. Even if you really want to get married, you can live next door to your daughter. If anything happens to your daughter, you can immediately protect her."
Finally, seeing that Ma Mingqiang was still confused and it was getting late, Ma Xiu Lan had to leave first. She told Ma Mingqiang not to tell Wang Hu first, but to discuss it with Xiaolian first, or to investigate the character of Wang Hu's mother and younger sister.
Because she spent a long time talking to her brother, she let Xingguo take Xingmin back first, and she rode her bicycle back alone.
On her way home, she suddenly glanced to the side and saw Xingmin and Zhang Jianxun chatting and laughing as they prepared to go to the state-owned restaurant together.
She looked at it for a while, then went home with a cold face. The child had grown up and had his own thoughts, so he would not hide things from her.
But when she thought about Xingmin's personality, it was inseparable from her neglect of her when she was a child. Children who lacked love in childhood spend their whole lives healing their childhood. How could she let Xingmin continue to suffer in marriage in this life?
She must be stopped from marrying Zhang Jianxun. Otherwise, if she really marries him, Lu Wenying, that snob, will be in trouble unless Xingmin asks Mr. Su to help them all the time, but how is that possible?
Not to mention that Mr. Su is an upright man who would not even protect his own niece. This matter would embarrass him and make An An unhappy, creating a rift between the siblings.
If Lu Wenying is not satisfied, Xingmin will probably have a hard time, so this kind of thing must be prevented from happening at the root.
She went back to her room and lay down. When she heard Zhao Xingmin came back, she didn't go out. Zhao Xingguo wondered:
"Why is mom unhappy when she comes home today? Is she tired?"
Zhao Xingmin's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Could it be that his mother had discovered that he was secretly with Zhang Jianxun?
Mom really doesn't like Aunt Lu. She didn't tell her because she was afraid that she would be angry if she knew.
Zhao Xingguo saw Zhao Xingmin's face turn pale, so he moved closer to Zhao Xingmin and whispered, "Xingmin, you didn't do anything bad, did you?"
Zhao Xingmin hurriedly denied it, but her wandering eyes betrayed her. Zhao Xingguo recalled that his mother had asked him to stop Xingmin and Zhang Jianxun from contacting each other a while ago.
"You're not with that kid Zhang Jianxun, are you?"
Zhao Xingmin looked as if something had hit the nail on the head. Zhao Xingguo sighed. He didn't know why his mother objected, but what his mother said was right. He had to persuade Xingmin to be honest with her mother, otherwise his mother would be disappointed in her and ignore her just like she ignored the second, fourth and fifth children.
Zhao Xingmin shuddered in her heart. She couldn't lose her mother.
She paced back and forth in the main room for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to knock on Ma Xiu Lan's door.
After hearing the sound from inside, Zhao Xingmin pushed the door open and went in. She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Ma Xiulan's eyes that knew everything. She couldn't help but feel guilty: "Mom, I'm sorry, I've been hiding something from you."
After she repeated everything Zhang Jianxun had said to her, she looked at Ma Xiulan hesitantly:
"Mom, Jianxun is Jianxun, and his mom is his mom. He is different from his mom. Can you please not be prejudiced against him because of his mom?"
Ma Xiulan tilted her head and looked at her innocent daughter:
"It's impossible to clearly separate a child from his mother. For example, if you marry Zhang Jianxun, I'll be very angry. In that case, will you choose me or Zhang Jianxun?"
Zhao Xingmin had a bitter face. On one side was her mother, and on the other was the person she loved. How could she choose?
"Mom, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
"So, Zhang Jianxun has to make this choice now. His mother doesn't like you, and she will definitely make trouble for him. He can only choose between his biological mother and you. Isn't it difficult for him to be caught in the middle?"
"But he said he would convince his mother."
"How can someone in their forties or fifties change their mind so easily? Even if she compromises for her son, her resentment will only intensify after that, and she will definitely target you in the future."
"And Zhang Jianxun will think that since his mother has agreed to your marriage, she has given in. Since you are the one who benefits, you must obey her."
"From now on, whenever there's a small problem, you and your children will be the ones being blamed, just like your grandmother."
