When Zhang Qiaoying said this, everyone fell silent.
Liang Su lowered her head and ate her food, as if what she said was irrelevant.
In fact, Shen Congji really has nothing to do with her.
Shen Limei's smile froze. She should have responded with a smile and agreed with Zhang Qiaoying.
But looking at Liang Su, he couldn't say those words no matter what.
Zhang Qiaoying looked at Shen Limei with dissatisfaction and said, "Limei, don't you think so?"
Shen Limei smiled and said, "They are young, so of course they look a good match."
Zhang Qiaoying's dissatisfaction was almost overflowing. Isn't Liang Su also young? Does she look like a good match for Shen Congji? What kind of talk is this?
"Why don't we take this opportunity to arrange the marriages for the two children? Aji is already 26 years old. He has been serving in the army and has no time to settle down. In our village, 26 is old enough to be the father of several children." Zhang Qiaoying took the opportunity to say.
She was afraid that if she didn't hold on tight, this good son-in-law would be snatched away.
Shen Limei looked embarrassed and glanced at Shen Congji.
But he said nothing.
Although it was a child marriage, she couldn't have the final say; both children had to agree.
"Aji, Qianqian, what do you say?" Shen Limei asked.
Liang Su stuffed one bite after another into his mouth, not participating in their conversation, just eating.
Zhang Qiaoying smiled and continued, "Why ask them? It's their parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. What's more, they were engaged since childhood, so of course they'll listen to us."
Zhong Yun nudged Liu Guohua with his elbow. "I don't care. We invited Aji and Liang Zhiqing to dinner today to thank them. If you want to discuss marriage, go back home and don't take over the main topic."
Zhang Qiaoying's impatience had reached its peak. As it should be, everything had been set in stone before Liang Su came, so why was it so difficult to set a wedding date now?
"Aji, you better give me a definite answer. When will you let my Qianqian become your wife?"
Before Shen Congji could speak, Liu Qian's face tensed and she dropped her chopsticks with a bang.
"Mom, can you please stop being like this and consider other people's feelings?"
Zhang Qiaoying was so embarrassed that she almost couldn't help but scold her daughter in front of everyone.
Fortunately, he was stopped by Shen Limei.
Liu Qian didn't want to come for dinner in the first place, thinking that Liu Guohua was not inviting their family, but Zhang Qiaoying insisted on coming along.
Now she felt even more bored and didn't want to eat, so she ran out.
"Qianqian!" Shen Limei shouted.
Liu Qian ignored him and disappeared immediately.
The atmosphere became more awkward because of her departure.
Even Liang Su, who remained silent, felt uneasy.
Zhang Qiaoying smiled and tried to smooth things over: "You're just shy."
Liu Chengyun glared at her secretly, asking her to be so talkative.
"Our house has been washed away. Where do you want Qianqian to get married?"
Zhang Qiaoying just realized that not having a house is indeed a problem.
But it would take at least a month to build a house, and Shen Congji's home leave would not be that long.
But we can't let Liu Qian marry out of her husband's family.
The more Zhang Qiaoying thought about it, the more unhappy she became, especially since Shen Congji didn't say a word.
After a moment of silence, Shen Congji said in a deep voice: “Aunt Qiaoying, don’t worry, as long as Liu Qian is willing to marry, I will fulfill my promise.”
After hearing his words, Zhang Qiaoying's expression turned from gloomy to bright, she smiled, and even glanced at Liang Su with a hint of pride.
"Liang Zhiqing, how old are you this year?"
Liang Su said: "Nineteen."
"Oh, she's already nineteen. In our country, nineteen is old enough to be a mother!"
Liang Su smiled and said, "So I'm not from here. People over there don't get married so early."
Zhang Qiaoying's smile faded a little, and she thought that if she didn't get married, she would probably hook up with other men.
"It's better to find a partner early. Otherwise, you'll miss out when you're older and can't get married."
Liang Su replied indifferently, "There are only women who don't want to get married, but there are no women who can't get married. Aunt Qiaoying, believe it or not, if you want to remarry at your age, there will be many people who will come to propose marriage."
Zhang Qiaoying's expression changed slightly, and she said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I just said that. I didn't say you really want to remarry. Don't be angry." Liang Su glanced at her indifferently.
Zhong Yun was afraid that Zhang Qiaoying would make a scene regardless of the occasion, so he quickly responded, "Qiaoying, have some tolerance. Why bother with the child?"
Zhang Qiaoying snorted coldly and said nothing more.
But she was not one to remain quiet. After a while, she spoke again: "Liang Zhiqing, I have someone who is very suitable for you. Would you like to meet him?"
Liang Su's patience ran out, and there was no way he could just be nice to her.
Zhang Qiaoying didn't know whether she was deliberately causing trouble or she really didn't know how to read people's expressions.
At her age, does she look so eager to get married?
"Aunt Qiaoying, the suitable candidate you're referring to is your brother who doesn't know how to grow crops and is lazy and looks like a disabled person?"
Zhang Qiaoying only heard the few unpleasant adjectives she used, and immediately became furious. She slammed the table hard, and was furious.
"What are you talking about!"
Liang Su put down his chopsticks and looked straight at her.
"What I say is not important. What's important is, are you going to introduce your brother to me?"
Zhang Qiaoying ignored the surprised looks of others and raised her chin slightly, as if her brother was a rare treasure.
"Yes. Liang Zhiqing, you have to recognize yourself. Your only advantage is your youth. If you weren't young and able to serve others, I wouldn't look down on you."
Liang Su laughed angrily, "So Aunt Qiaoying doesn't even have the advantage of being young. Isn't that useless?"
Zhang Qiaoying felt like she was having a heart attack, "I'm not getting married!"
"Humans are subject to misfortunes at any time. The sky may rain and my mother may get married. We cannot control it. If you don't get married now, how do you know you won't get married in the future?" Liang Su replied nonchalantly.
Zhang Qiaoying's face flushed red, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Liang Su looked surprised. "So Aunt Qiaoying can get angry too? Now you understand how angry I was when you were talking nonsense just now, right?"
Zhong Yun pursed his lips and tried to hold back his laughter. He thought Liang Su would be bullied, but he didn't expect the kitten to extend its claws.
Zhang Qiaoying gritted her teeth and said, "Is it just nonsense? How could my brother not be worthy of you?"
"I'm really not worthy of it." Liang Su said coldly.
She looked at Zhang Qiaoying and said bluntly, "I'm nineteen, in the prime of my life. May I ask how old your brother is? He's old enough to be my father, right? I only have a high school diploma, but I was admitted to university last year, but someone else took my place. What's your brother's education level? Did he even finish junior high school?"
Shen Congji looked at her in astonishment. He didn't even know that his university place had been replaced by someone else.
"Aunt Qiaoying, it's important to know your own limitations. I don't mean to offend you, but please don't provoke me just because you see me out here alone."
After all, she has never been a soft-hearted person.
