In fact, he was very conflicted when Song Liyun mentioned running away from the wedding.
From the perspective of an elder who needs to manage the villagers and is happy that the world is at peace, he does not accept the idea of eloping, and it can be said to be "unconventional and deeply hated".

Over the years, Granny Gu and her daughter-in-law have been running rampant in the village. Others can't afford to offend them and can only avoid them. It's best for Song Lao Er's family to stay out of trouble.
