"Who do I have?" Yan Jin's eyes were filled with helplessness. "Mom, please stop talking nonsense. How can this be publicized? If others hear about it, I won't be able to work as the director anymore. I might even get shot."
It may sound a bit serious to say this, but in recent years, people have taken relationships between men and women more seriously. There are some things that really should not be said casually as they can easily cause misunderstandings.
"I'm not a fool. I can't go out and say nonsense!" Mother Yan's face looked better. She continued, "Since you don't have any women outside, then bring up the matter of marriage with Qingqing. You are not young anymore. Others of your age have had several children. Qingqing is a girl and we can't afford to delay it."
Bringing up old things again makes people feel depressed.
Yan Jin subconsciously wanted to take a cigarette from his pocket, but considering that there were two women in the room, he put his hand down.
"I've said it many times. I only treat Qingqing as my sister and never thought of wasting her time. Mom, there are many good men here. If there is a suitable one, let Qingqing try it out. It's really not easy for a girl like me to be wasted like this."
Li Qing didn't say anything, just lowered his head, and tears fell on the back of his hands.
Yan's mother refused to give in and advised earnestly: "Yan Jin, let alone our village, everyone in the surrounding area knows that Qingqing is going to be your wife. Where can you let her find a good man to date? When you ran away to join the army without saying a word, Qingqing was at home taking care of me and your father, waiting for you for so many years. She is 22 years old this year. Girls and boys in our neighborhood get married at the age of 17 or 18. If they are not married in their twenties, they are either sick and left behind, or their families are so poor that they can't even afford food. If you don't want her, how can she find a good family?"
"You guys are the ones who insisted on delaying her. I've said long ago that I only see her as my sister. We grew up together. In my eyes, she is my biological sister. You guys insisted on forcing me to marry her. Am I a beast?"
Besides, the two old people are not very old, and they are still working in the fields as hard as tigers. Why do they need the care of a young girl?
This means that you are just trying to force him.
"What sister? You two are not related by blood. Qingqing was originally raised as your wife, but you have to bring it up with all that nonsense. Yan Jing, you have grown up and become independent. Your parents can't control you anymore, right?"
It is a common problem among all elders that once children have their own thoughts and are no longer under their control, they will say these words to them.
The phrase "parents' kindness" is always wrong.
Yan Jin is no longer the naive boy he used to be, who could have walked away for so many years without saying a word.
Even though he was feeling very uncomfortable, he still listened to his mother's nagging patiently before expressing his own thoughts.
"Dad, Mom, I know you are definitely thinking about our own good, but marriage is a lifelong matter, not something that can be compromised for a short period of time. Now that we have made our own decisions, it concerns the lives of Qingqing and I. Can you let us make our own decisions? At least we can still be brother and sister now. If you insist on promoting a couple who are resentful of each other, and we spend the rest of our lives hating each other, is this what you want?"
Li Qing couldn't hold it back any longer and cried, "Mom and Dad, please stop forcing Brother Jin. It's because I don't have the blessing to be your daughter-in-law. From now on, I will be your daughter, which is also good."
