"Mom, things have come to this, so stop making a fuss. If I marry Han Bailan, you'll soon have a grandson. Isn't that a good thing?"
The outcome of all this fuss will probably be the same, so why bother making a fuss?
Mr. Zhao released Mrs. Zhao's arm and turned his gaze to Mr. Han: "What happened just now was my son Xiaojing's mother's fault. Since the two children have no objections, let's discuss what to do next."
Han's father released Han's mother at this moment. He invited Zhao's father to sit back on the bamboo chair, and the two of them began to discuss the matter of Han Bailan and Zhao Jing, neither of them paying attention to their respective wives.
"The children's marriage cannot be delayed, but Zhao Jing just got engaged two months ago to the second daughter of the Feng family. My idea is that I will go to the Feng family with Xiao Jing's mother later to briefly explain the children's situation, so as to avoid any awkwardness between our three families in the future."
After all, you and Lao Feng both work at the grain station, and Lao Feng is your superior. Now that something has happened between the children, it will be difficult to keep it a secret. If Lao Feng finds out from others that my family has broken off the engagement...
However, since your family has arranged for your children to become in-laws, he will inevitably feel dissatisfied with both of our families, and it might even affect your working relationship.
Therefore, I chose to tell you about Zhao Jing's engagement for two reasons. Firstly, our two families are about to become in-laws, and we shouldn't hide anything about the child.
On the other hand, I also wanted to prepare you mentally, so that you wouldn't hold a grudge against Lao Feng just because he said a few unpleasant things, which would prevent the work from proceeding normally.
After listening to what Zhao's father said, Han's father remained silent for a moment before speaking: "More than a month ago, I was chatting with Lao Feng and he did mention his daughter Yuanyuan's engagement. To be honest, I feel really sorry for Lao Feng that our children have gotten into this mess. But since things have come to this, it can only be that our two families are sorry to Lao Feng."
Furthermore, my Lanlan is also engaged, and the wedding is just around the corner. Now, because of your son... I will inevitably have to break off the engagement with the groom's family and apologize to them.
However, I hope we can keep things regarding our children's affairs low-key. Do you have any objections?
Han's father looked solemnly at Zhao's father, waiting for his reply.
"You're right, the weddings of the two children should indeed be conducted in a low-key manner."
After a pause, Zhao's father added, "I think we need to find a better reason for breaking off the engagement, otherwise, it might be difficult for the two children to face others later."
"Um."
Han's father nodded, agreeing with what Zhao's father said.
To say that one's own child is of bad character and improper conduct, and is pregnant with another man's child, and that one had no choice but to break off the engagement, would undoubtedly be to offend the Song family to the point of no return.
Therefore, he naturally had to come up with a reasonable excuse.
As for Song Qingbin and Song Lan knowing the truth, Han's father believed that even without considering the Han family's situation, just to save face for their own family, Song Qingbin and Song Lan would not reveal the real reason for the two families' annulment of the engagement.
Well, in fact, neither Song Lan nor Song Qingbin, nor even Song Sanhe and Li Jumei, who learned of Han Bailan's disgraceful act, mentioned the truth about Song Qingbin's annulment of the engagement to outsiders.
The Feng family.
"Mom, I'm home!"
Feng Yuanyuan works at the county supply and marketing cooperative. Since tomorrow is Sunday, she rode her bicycle back to her home in town as soon as she got off work this afternoon. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard a noise coming from the kitchen and couldn't help but call out softly to the kitchen door.
"Didn't I tell you that it gets dark earlier these days, so I don't want you to get into any trouble on the road? Don't come home every weekend. Why won't you listen to me?"
Stepping out of the kitchen, Feng's mother looked at her second daughter, Feng Yuanyuan, her face clearly showing displeasure.
But the concern in his eyes was obvious.
Feng Yuanyuan twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "I was bored staying in the dorm, so I thought I'd go home and visit. Besides, it's not completely dark yet, and it's safe on the road!"
“What’s there to see at home? Your dad, your brother, and I are all fine. Why should you worry about us? Now that you’re back, I won’t say anything, but you can’t continue like this. You have to do what your dad and I told you.”
You can only come home once a month, and your dad will have to pick you up from the county. If you misbehave, your dad and I will pretend we don't have a daughter. Do you understand?
These words sounded like a mother's concern for her child, and Feng Yuanyuan understood perfectly. She straightened the bicycle stand, washed her hands, and followed her mother into the kitchen, saying, "I understand, I promise it won't happen again!"
"I'll remember that."
Mother Feng casually remarked, her hands still busy making pancakes on the stove.
"Yes, I said it."
Feng Yuanyuan responded.
"Now that you and that Zhao boy are engaged, why don't you go for a walk in the park or see a movie on Sunday? That will help nurture your relationship."
While flipping the scallion and egg pancakes in the pan, Feng's mother said, "Also, you should smile more. When people meet, a smile is a good sign. Even if it's not out of politeness and respect for others, it will at least leave a good impression."
You used to laugh a lot when you were in elementary school, but since starting middle school, it's been incredibly difficult to see a smile on your face. I'm not trying to be mean, but if you continue like this, how are you going to manage after you get married and live with that Zhao family boy?
"It's not that I can't laugh."
She just feels that there's nothing funny on a daily basis, so it's rare to see her smile. Is there anything wrong with that?
Feng Yuanyuan was puzzled.
"I know, I know, you're not incapable of laughing, you just don't want to laugh."
Feng's mother gave her daughter a disapproving look, then asked, "How are things going between you and Zhao Jing?"
"generally."
Zhao Jing, her former classmate in junior and senior high school, is now her fiancé. To be honest, Feng Yuanyuan doesn't have much affection for him.
