"Mom, in Jiameng Town, many people hold wedding banquets before they reach marriageable age..."
Qiao Nian interrupted Ye Linlang and said, "Linlang, that's a family that doesn't care about manners. Even if you never get married, our family can still support you! As for the matter of marriage, I don't agree."
Ye Linlang was stunned and asked, "Mom, why don't you agree? Don't you like Xie Xuning too?"
"Linlang."
Qiao Nian reached out and gently stroked Ye Linlang's hair, saying softly, "Linlang, if it weren't for you two children liking him, I wouldn't agree just based on Xie Qian's behavior. As the old saying goes, you buy a pig and look at the pen, and the same goes for marrying someone. Yes, the Xie family's ancestors were good people, and Xuning is a nice person, but dating and getting married are two different things. You're still young, so there's no need to rush into marriage. Be good and obedient, and we can take our time."
Everything else could be discussed, but in Qiao Nian's mind, this matter was absolutely not negotiable.
Ye Linlang never expected that the person who was most opposed to her marriage with Xie Xuning was not someone else, but Qiao Nian.
"Mom, Xie Xuning is very good and treats me very well. I will not marry anyone else except him."
Qiao Nian took a deep breath and whispered, "Linlang, there's no room for negotiation on your marriage. If you were 20 or in your twenties, I wouldn't say anything, but how old are you now? Not only will I not agree, but your grandparents, dad, uncle, aunt, brother, and sister-in-law, none of us will agree either."
Qiao Nian took Ye Linlang's water cup and said softly, "If you want to sleep, sleep a little longer. If not, get up. I will explain it clearly to you and Xie Xuning."
Ye Linlang was not sleepy at this moment, so she said, "Mom, I'm getting up."
Qiao Nian stood up worriedly. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and sat in front of Ye Linlang. She asked seriously and solemnly, "Linlang, tell me the truth. Are you pregnant? Is that why you want to hold the wedding banquet so soon?"
It’s no wonder Qiao Nian thinks this way. In fact, Xie Xuning and Ye Linlang are already engaged, and their parents did not stop their children from dating.
Why are you suddenly talking about having a wedding when it’s the end of winter and almost the twelfth lunar month?
Qiao Nian had to think of the worst possible outcome.
"Mom, no, I'm not pregnant."
Qiao Nian looked suspicious and asked in disbelief, "Are you really not pregnant?"
"Mom, I'm really not pregnant."
Ye Linlang was a little amused and helpless.
"Mom, I really don't think I'll fall in love with anyone other than Xie Xuning. Besides, aren't we engaged? Getting married is a matter of time. Don't our whole family want to celebrate the Spring Festival in Jiameng Town this year? There are so many opportunities to get married!"
"There's no room for negotiation when it comes to marriage. Let's wait and see."
When Qiao Nian found out that Ye Linlang was not pregnant, a huge stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
Why get married if you're not pregnant?
After Ye Linlang finished washing up, she went to the restaurant. Xie Xuning looked at Ye Linlang with a reserved expression. After being persuaded by Qiao Nian, Ye Wusheng and Ye Xuelan with both reason and emotion, Xie Xuning had given up the idea of holding the wedding in Jiameng Town during the Spring Festival.
Although Xie Xuning also wanted to marry Ye Linlang as soon as possible, what the elders of the Ye family said made sense. This is not the old society, and girls must reach the legal age of marriage before talking about marriage.
"Linlang, you have already discussed with your uncles and aunts that there will be no wedding this Spring Festival."
