April, sunny
The Wen family and the Shen family sat together, and the two families finally began to discuss the couple's marriage. Engagement, marriage, a set of procedures really need time to negotiate.
"Mr. Wen, you are the elder, please decide what is appropriate."
Shen Chenfeng looked at Wen Xunqing in front of him with respect. The old man was the oldest among them, and they had to obey his arrangements in everything.
Chen Yun and Wen Maidong were together, and both families tacitly agreed, but it would be more reassuring to see them finally get together. Without a formal relationship, it would look awkward to outsiders.
"Get engaged first, and as for marriage, it depends on what the two children think."
Wen Xunqing said that he was very open-minded and didn't know what the young couple meant. They could not be more stubborn than the children.
As soon as Grandpa Wen spoke, Wen Maidong's face lit up. He hadn't expected his grandfather to be so supportive. It would be best if the engagement ceremony could be held as soon as possible. Otherwise, Wen Maidong was really worried that his wife would fly away like a duck.
"Well, getting engaged first is fine."
Shen Chenfeng thought about it and nodded. If the two children were engaged, the family would feel more at ease. One's own children knew best, and there was no fixed character.
“…”
Qin Xi couldn't help but poke her husband, who was pretending to be silent. She was completely unwilling. Her son now had a stable job, was good-looking, and most importantly, was very capable. What was so good about that little girl? She stayed at home every day, never went out to work, and just wanted her son to support her? Qin Xi was a hundred percent dissatisfied. She always felt that her son could find a better partner.
"Poke what? Poke?"
Wen Shoucheng had no objection to his son's engagement or marriage. With the old man watching over him, he believed the Shen family girl would be fine. Moreover, she was the old man's last disciple, and since his family didn't have anyone who could take over the old man's responsibilities, it would be great to have a granddaughter-in-law to take over.
"Our son's marriage has been decided, and we only found out today. This is a bit..."
Qin Xi still felt embarrassed and ashamed. As parents, they didn't know their son and daughter at all. Old man... Qin Xi didn't dare to hate her father-in-law, but she couldn't like the Shen family at all. They were still from the village, just mud-legged people from the countryside.
"What are you talking about? It's a happy day. Do you want to ruin this marriage?"
Wen Shoucheng pulled his wife and looked at her in surprise.
"Why not? I'm his mother, I have the right to decide."
"You're crazy! Don't you know your son's personality at all? He agrees with what the old man said, which means he likes the girl. You're making such a fuss, aren't you afraid that the relationship between you and your son will be ruined?"
Wen Shoucheng couldn't help but regret it. If he had been sent down with his father at that time, would the outcome have been different? His son and daughter wouldn't have been alienated from them, and the relationship between them wouldn't be what it is now.
"Impossible, how could I be crazy? I'm not crazy at all."
Qin Xi shook off her husband's hand and looked at him in shock. But one day, her husband no longer stood by her side and became her enemy.
"Why aren't you crazy? Can you please stop making a fuss? It's a good day for our son, and the two families will meet together to sit down and discuss the important matter of engagement."
"There's no engagement. There won't be one. I'm going to make a scene until there's none."
Qin Xi felt like she was stuck in a knot, unable to breathe. She wouldn't approve of this daughter-in-law, nor would she accept a merger of the Wen and Shen families. Her son's other half, even if she didn't have to be born a better person, at least had to appease her mother-in-law.
"Qin Xi..." Wen Shoucheng was so angry that he called his wife's name directly.
"I'm here, stop shouting. I know what I'm doing, and I know what I want to do now."
Qin Xi looked at her husband. Her mind was now crystal clear. She knew that once the engagement was finalized, there would be no chance of regret, and it couldn't be easily broken off. Now was the most appropriate time. They were still at the negotiation stage, not yet officially finalized.
“You…you…”
With trembling hands, Wen Shoucheng never expected that his wife would become unreasonable at this moment.
"mom……"
Wen Maidong's expressionless face appeared in front of Qin Xi. Looking at her son, Qin Xi couldn't help but glance away guiltily, not daring to look him in the eye. She knew her tantrum was unreasonable, but she just didn't like Chen Yun. That girl looked like a spoiled girl, and her son would definitely suffer from it in the future and regret it.
"It's no use calling me mom. I've helped you look at many girls, and they are all better than Chen Yun." Qin Xi looked at her son expectantly, hoping that he would listen to her.
"But I like this one."
Wen Maidong looked at his mother. If he had to choose between his mother and his wife, he would choose his wife over his mother. Because his father was still alive, and his mother was his father's responsibility.
"You, you unfilial son."
Qin Xi pointed at Wen Maidong with a look of disbelief.
"Dad, take Mom back first! I don't think Mom needs to show up for anything later. When we get engaged, if Mom wants to come, then she can come. If she doesn't want to, I won't force her."
As for the explanation, there was only one person Wen Maidong wanted to explain to. He wanted to make it clear to Niuniu that Dad was still young and there was no problem, and they would take care of their parents when they got old.
"You...Old Wen, look at your son."
"Let's go! Ah Xi, let's go back first."
Wen Shoucheng seemed to have aged considerably, his energy and spirit noticeably weakened. He felt like he hadn't accomplished anything in his life, considering his wife, son, and father. He was far less courageous than his son.
"No, I won't go back."
"If you don't go back, don't go back in the future."
This may be the harshest words Wen Shoucheng has ever said. It was also because of Wen Shoucheng's insistence that Qin Xi finally agreed to go back with her husband.
Without Mother Wen's fuss, Wen Maidong returned to his room, apologized to Uncle Shen, explained the situation, and then sat quietly beside him. Wen Xunqing raised an eyebrow. He was well aware of his daughter-in-law's fuss and had been quite calm about it. However, he hadn't expected his son to have another chance to stand up. He wasn't too foolish.
"What happened? Why did aunt leave?"
"It's okay, I'll tell you when I get back."
Holding Shen Yun's hand, Wen Maidong felt that he was slowly absorbing the energy she gave him. As for his parents, Wen Maidong no longer had any hope. He was willing to marry into the family, not to mention that the situation was already developing in a good direction, so there was nothing to say.
"All right……"
Shen Yun shrugged his shoulders, knowing that it was not a good time to speak.
