The old lady picked up her teacup, took a sip, and stared at Ge Guang with slightly cloudy but shrewd eyes, revealing a smile.
This old man, who's over seventy, can convey a whole message with just a single expression or a smile.
She didn't speak, but her smile was full of contempt.
“Being a soldier is good, but I think you might not be able to give Jiang Qing the life she wants.”
Marriage requires more than just love; it also needs financial security, luxuries that women enjoy, and most importantly, companionship.
Soldiers defend their country and fight on the battlefield; they deserve everyone's respect.
But their subsidies were so meager that they couldn't afford to buy their beloved woman a sparkling diamond.
And what's the difference between a woman who's been in the military for years and living alone at home with no one to rely on and being a widow?
Ge Guang was just not good at getting along with people, but his intelligence was fine.
The old lady spoke in a very tactful way, but he understood what she meant as soon as he heard it.
Jiang Qing's father wasn't here, otherwise Ge Guang's promise should have been told to him.
“I have one more year before I am discharged from the military. My family supports my entrepreneurship. I have skills and I am not afraid of going down a dead end. One day I will give Xiaoqing a good life.”
Jiang was deeply moved and expressed his support.
“I will wait for Brother Ge Guang to retire from the army. No matter what he wants to do, I will accompany him to do it.”
The old lady remained silent. The way the two of them spoke made it seem as if she were the bad guy who was interfering and ruining their relationship.
But she still didn't want to give up and tried to persuade Jiang Qing in a subtle way.
"It's good that you two are together, but Grandma likes you. Come stay at Grandma's house whenever you have time. Your brother Suo Yanghe has also retired from the army. He can take you around to play when he has time."
Yi Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes. The old lady was really something. People had already gone this far, and she was still holding on to it.
Jiang Qing was a little embarrassed, but out of respect for the elderly, she nodded.
Jiang Qing wanted to take Ge Guang to stroll around the peach grove, leaving only the old lady, Yi Mu, and Suo Yanghe in the pavilion.
The weather is nice today, but it's not really a good day to talk things out. It might hurt feelings and ruin your good mood.
But Yi Mu and Suo Yanghe are both young people; they can't keep their composure like older people.
"Grandma, I want to talk to you."
The old lady had a premonition that today's cultural festival shouldn't have been held. She had originally come to promote the relationship between Suo Yanghe and Jiang Qing, but instead, everyone was going against her.
With a deep sigh, the old lady said, "Go ahead and speak, I'm listening."
Suo Yanghe had only briefly told her that Yi Mu was the person he had chosen, without going into further details.
This time, he laid out his and Yi Mu's experiences in front of the old man.
When the old lady heard that the two of them had a relationship, her face changed, and she finally couldn't hold back anymore, slamming her teacup heavily on the table.
"Nonsense!"
Even in the future, with advanced technology and progressive ideas, older people are still very resistant to premarital sex and love.
"He's an omega, how could you do this!"
As if his IQ had suddenly dropped, Yi Mu laughed and threw out another fact.
"Grandma, don't worry. I've been taking omega suppressants for years, and the doctor said my chances of getting pregnant are zero."
Today, he's going to say all the things that old ladies find unbearable and see how much they react.
The old lady was not very happy to hear this.
Given Suo Yanghe's character of never wavering once he sets his mind on something, if he insists on having Yi Mu, the old lady can't do anything about it.
But if an omega can't reproduce, what value does he have?
The old lady said to Suo Yanghe in an uncompromising tone, "You can't be with him, I don't agree."
Suo Yanghe had anticipated her reaction. He said coldly and bluntly, "I don't expect you to agree. Your opinion has no impact on me whatsoever."
