Han's mother is giving Han Bailan a strong dose of medicine. In her opinion, Han Bailan is just too naive and thinks that Song Qingbin can't live without her. But the truth is, Song Qingbin has no trouble finding a partner.
"Mom, no matter what you say, it's no use. I'll just say one thing: I don't believe you!"
It's absolutely impossible for her to believe that Feng Yuanyuan would be interested in Song Qingbin and willing to date him!
"Whatever you want."
As Han's mother turned to leave, she noticed the unusual look in Han Bailan's eyes and knew that her troublesome daughter was feeling anxious.
As the saying goes: a good woman never worries about getting married, and a good man never worries about finding a wife.
Compared to Yuanyuan, her daughter is not as good-looking, and in terms of work, Yuanyuan works at the county department store, while her daughter Lanlan works at the town's supply and marketing cooperative.
Clearly, in terms of looks and job, Yuanyuan wins.
Not to mention temperament.
Yuanyuan is quiet but considerate, while her daughter is lively but has a bad temper.
When parents are looking for a wife for their son, they will definitely prefer a sensible and well-behaved girl.
Take her for example, she's no exception.
Seeing her mother turn and leave without hesitation, Han Bailan's mouth moved faster than her brain: "Mom, won't you try to persuade me a little longer?" If she persuaded her a little longer, maybe she would listen!
"Why should I try to persuade you? You're so opinionated, so I'll just let you do whatever you want. It's not like I'll regret it someday."
This is a provocation.
It is not hard to see from this that Han's mother truly loves Han Bailan and does not want her daughter to regret it. Otherwise, would she have needed to provoke her after administering the strong medicine?
"I...I was just saying that out of anger!"
Han Bailan tried to save face by snorting, "It's all Song Qingbin's fault for not coaxing me. If he had just said a few words to comfort me, I wouldn't have gotten angry at him!"
She wants to fulfill her dream, but before that dream becomes a reality, she will hold on tightly to what is rightfully hers and will not let Feng Yuanyuan have it.
"So you don't want to break off your engagement with Qingbin anymore?"
Han's mother stopped in her tracks. She stood facing Han Bailan at the door. Hearing her words, Han Bailan nodded vigorously: "No, no, we're already engaged. What are you going to do? I don't want to be drowned in spit."
Han's mother: "Do you think it's necessary to find Qingbin and have him take you to apologize?"
Han Bailan feigned ignorance: "Apologize to whom?"
"You don't know that yourself?"
Han's mother asked.
"There's no need... I didn't do anything to her, it's just... it's just that what I said to her was a little unpleasant." Apologize? Asking her to apologize to that vixen sister of Song Qingbin is no different from asking her to bow down to her?
Han's mother looked at her daughter quietly for a moment, then said, "It seems you have a nonchalant attitude towards your marriage. Fine, I'll pretend I didn't say anything about apologizing, but remember, don't come to me and your father when you regret it."
After all, you were rude to Qingbin's sister. If this isn't handled properly, Qingbin will definitely hold a grudge against you. Who knows, he might unexpectedly meet Yuanyuan one day, and the two of them might hit it off instantly, then turn around and come to our house to discuss breaking off the engagement with you. If that happens, your father and I will absolutely have no objections.”
"Why? Do you and Dad intend to watch me get dumped?"
Han Bailan's eyes widened, wondering if she was hallucinating.
"You ask me why? Isn't it all your own doing? You were the one who first brought up breaking off the engagement in front of Qingbin, even causing him to lose his job. On top of that, you spoke rudely to his sister and refused to apologize. With all of this, once Qingbin is determined not to marry you, what reason do your father and I have to object?"
Han's mother said earnestly, "We have no reason, which means we lack confidence. We can't possibly ask your father and me to lose face and beg them not to break off the engagement, can we?"
"..."
Han Bailan's expression changed several times, and finally she snorted and said something that didn't mean what she meant: "I'll listen to you, okay? I'll find Song Qingbin another day and have him arrange to meet his sister. I'll apologize then."
"Be sincere, not just go through the motions."
Han's mother emphasized.
Han Bailan: "I know, I know. I promise I'm sincere. If she doesn't forgive me, I'll rip my heart out and show it to her. Do you think that's enough sincerity?"
"If you're going to apologize while you're still upset, I advise you not to go to Qingbin or show up in front of that young girl."
Is this just stubbornness? Han's mother sighed inwardly, feeling both disappointed and exasperated, and was at her wit's end!
Han Bailan noticed that her mother's mood seemed to have worsened again, and her heart tightened. She pursed her lips, exhaled, and pretended to be calm, saying, "Mom, I know you mean well. Don't worry, I will correct my attitude and apologize properly."
Song Qingbin is hers now, and she won't let any woman have him before she doesn't want him anymore, especially not Feng Yuanyuan!
Seeing that Han Bailan didn't seem to be lying, Han's mother's expression softened. She said, "That's good. However, it's better to apologize sooner rather than later. Go to the grain station to find Qingbin after get off work tomorrow at noon and ask him to arrange a time to take you to see his sister."
"Um."
Han Bailan nodded.
"Okay, you go ahead with your work. I'll go to the kitchen and see if your dad has started steaming the buns yet."
As she spoke, Han's mother disappeared.
Half an hour ago, at the machinery factory.
Old residential area.
When Song Lan returned home, she went to Qin Yanzheng's room and told him about Qin's father's recent life at the forest farm. At the end, she said, "Dad told you to take good care of your injury and not to worry about him. He said he has gotten used to life at the forest farm and that although logging is physically demanding, he is living a fulfilling life."
"Thanks."
Qin Yanzheng said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Aren't you being too polite?!"
Song Lan shook her head helplessly: "I am Dad's daughter-in-law, and the eldest daughter-in-law at that. Just like you, I hope Dad is well and wait for him to come home and reunite with us one day!"
"I should be the one visiting Dad, after all, I'm the eldest son in the family..."
Before Qin Yanzheng could finish speaking, Song Lan interrupted him: "Alright, alright, no one said you're not the eldest son, but you should know that I'm still the eldest daughter-in-law!"
Qin Boyan sat by Qin Yanzheng's bedside. Hearing his brother and sister-in-law's conversation, he grinned silently. Seeing the smile on his face, Song Lan pointed at him with her right index finger and said, "You stay here and chat with your brother. Sister-in-law, go to the kitchen to prepare dinner."
As soon as the words left his lips, Song Lan walked away.
"Your sister-in-law left?"
Hearing Song Lan's footsteps leave the room, Qin Yanzheng still couldn't help but confirm with Qin Boyan.
Upon hearing this, Qin Boyan hummed in response and said, "Brother, is there something you want to say to me, but it's inconvenient for my sister-in-law to hear it?"
Qin Yanzheng paused for a moment, then parted his lips slightly: "You're overthinking it!"
"Are you sure that's the case?"
Qin Boyan curled the corners of his lips and said, "Big brother probably doesn't know, but the expression on your face is clearly a bit uncomfortable right now!"
"I have an eye problem, could it be that your eyes are also having problems?"
Deliberately lowering his face, Qin Yanzheng gave a curt reply.
