Chapter 155 Getting Married
Looking at Xiao Taohua's innocent and bewildered eyes, Li Zhen wiped his face and said, "Yes, even when you get older, don't think about getting married casually. You should stay far away from men, understand?"
Little Peach Blossom still looked completely bewildered.
Li Zhen took his sister's hand and sat down on the threshold: "Come on, let your brother give you a good lesson in the philosophy of life."
Then, in a daze, Xiao Taohua was fed a bellyful of advice by Li Zhen: "Men have inherent flaws, and there aren't many good ones. As a girl, don't be too eager to get married, and don't let men easily lead you astray." He also said: "Don't rush into marriage. You can think about it after you turn twenty. Even if you don't get married, it's okay. Your family can support you until you're old."
Li Zhen stuffed everything he could and couldn't say into Xiao Taohua's mind, fearing that she might really be kidnapped and he would have nowhere to cry if that happened.
After finishing speaking, Li Zhen felt his mouth go dry: "Did you understand everything?"
Although Little Peach Blossom still didn't quite understand, when Brother Li Zhen asked, she nodded and said, "I understand." She was still a bit confused, but she probably understood.
"Then tell me what you should do."
Little Peach hesitated for a moment, but with Li Zhen's encouraging gaze, she still spoke up: "Stay away from men, don't play with those who are mean to me, and if anyone bullies me—beat them up!"
Li Zhen: ...
So, he said so much but his own sister didn't understand?
Faced with Xiao Taohua's innocent and bewildered eyes, Li Zhen took a deep breath and decided to tell Aunt Yin about it and let her teach her.
This matter should not be delayed. Thinking of this, Li Zhen stopped running away and took Xiao Taohua back to her home. He then spoke to Aunt Yin about Xiao Taohua and sincerely advised her to make sure that Xiao Taohua knew that she was a treasure, men were worthless, and men were worthless!
Yin Qing was serious at first, but she sounded somewhat helpless at the end: "Don't worry, I know about it."
Li Zhen said with a serious face, "Aunt Yin, you must take this matter to heart. Don't worry, it doesn't matter if Xiao Taohua never gets married. I will raise her."
"Your uncle and I are still alive; we don't need you to support us."
"I know, I know, I just wanted to let you know."
"Okay, I got it. Li Zhen, I heard your grandfather is looking for a partner for you..."
"Aunt Yin, can we not talk about this?" Li Zhen looked utterly dejected.
Yin Qing laughed and said, "What's so hard about saying that?"
"I'm only eighteen now, eighteen years old, it's still early, why would I need to find a partner?"
"Eighteen is not early. Don't you see other people who are already fathers at seventeen?"
"Anyway, I won't be looking at someone that early on."
"You," Yin Qing said helplessly, but she wouldn't say anything more annoying. "Don't worry, I'll talk to Xiao Taohua about it. Thank you so much this time."
"Aunt Yin, you're too kind. Little Peach Blossom is my sister."
"Yes, yes, I was too talkative."
"Then I'll be going now, Aunt Yin."
"Okay, when you get back, talk to your grandfather properly, and don't make him angry."
Li Zhen waved his hand: "Don't worry, I understand."
"This child." Watching Li Zhen leave, Yin Qing patted the flour off her hands. "Let's go, Little Peach Blossom, Mommy wants to chat with you."
"Mmm." Little Peach Blossom obediently followed Yin Qing back into the house.
"What does Little Peach Blossom think about men and women getting married when they are of age?" Yin Qing thought for a moment and decided to start from there.
“If Li Zhen is that age, he’ll be getting married soon. If Xiao Taohua is that age, she’ll be getting married too.”
Yin Qing patted her daughter's head: "That's true."
Little Peach Blossom looked at her mother with innocent eyes. Yin Qing smiled, hugged her daughter, and said face to face, "But Little Peach Blossom is the darling of her father, mother, master, and brothers. Getting married means going to another home, away from her father, mother, and familiar people. Is Little Peach Blossom willing to do that?"
Little Peach Blossom shook her head: "I don't want to. Little Peach Blossom doesn't want to leave her parents, her master, or her brother."
"But that's what happens when you get married."
"Can they all be together?"
"Sure," Yin Qing said with a smile, and Xiao Taohua's eyes lit up instantly.
"However, such a partner is hard to find; you have to be very selective. And what seems good to you may not be suitable for you, and what seems suitable for you may not be good to you."
Little Peach Blossom wrinkled her nose: "It's so complicated."
"Yes, marriage is a complicated matter. Getting married is like being reborn. If you marry well, everything will be fine; if you marry poorly, your life will be ruined. Of course, Little Peach Blossom is a lucky girl. Even if she doesn't marry well—pui pui pui—our Little Peach Blossom will definitely marry well in the future." Saying this, Yin Qing also felt a little worried. Looking at her fair and tender daughter, thinking about her daughter marrying someone else in the future, oh no, she couldn't think about it anymore. She had to stop.
"Mom, then you don't have to get married."
"If you don't get married, what will happen to Xiao Tao Hua when she grows up and no one takes care of her?"
"Little Peach Blossom doesn't need anyone to take care of her."
“But Mom and Dad will feel sorry for you.” Yin Qing touched her daughter’s ear.
Yin Qing's thoughts continued to wander. The thought of her daughter getting married in the future made her heart ache. Not to mention her, even her own husband would have a hard time. However, her daughter was right. Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. A girl cannot stay single forever.
Of course, if their daughter is truly determined to never marry, they won't say anything, but they will worry and be afraid, worrying about what will happen to their daughter when they get old, and worrying about what will happen to their daughter after they are gone.
Little Peach Blossom pursed her lips: "Mommy, when Little Peach Blossom gets married, she'll find the best man for her! He also has to promise to live with Mommy and Daddy, otherwise, Little Peach Blossom won't get married!"
Yin Qing paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll find a good man who's the best match for Xiao Tao Hua and someone we can always be together with."
"Yes, that's how it should be!" Little Peach Blossom nodded emphatically, her little fists clenched tightly.
"Our little peach blossom is already thinking about getting married at such a young age," Yin Qing couldn't help but tease.
"No, that's called being prepared for a rainy day."
"Yes, yes, Little Peach Blossom is taking precautions."
"Mom, Little Peach Blossom will always be with you."
"Okay, Mom believes you."
"Okay, I'm going to find Brother Li Zhen."
"Hmm? What do you want with your brother?"
"I want to tell my brother that when he gets married, he must treat his wife well and live with her family."
Yin Qing:......
Before she could say anything, Little Peach Blossom had already run out the door.
Well, this is fine too. Marriage is a two-way street. Only when both parties have a good relationship can the marriage last. And these days, the man does have the dominant position. As long as the man is willing and cares for the woman, then there's no way the marriage won't be good.
As elders, everyone hopes that the younger generation's marriage will be smooth sailing.
