Jiang Shushu returned home and opened the gift from Yan Beiyang, and found it was a pair of beautiful little leather shoes.
The price of these leather shoes is probably one month's salary.
Jiang Shushu put away his shoes. After taking a shower, he lay on the bed and thought.
I'm going to get married sooner or later anyway, and Yan Beiyang is not only good-looking, but also very good inside and out. He's a good marriage partner. If I reject him, it won't be easy to find someone with such good conditions in the future. Although I don't love Yan Beiyang yet, I don't hate him. I still admire him. It's better to find someone who likes me than to find someone I like.
Yan Beiyang used to be involved in the black market, so he must have no shortage of money. He should have no objection to using his own money to support Jiang He and his wife in their retirement. Yan Beiyang has his own money, so he will definitely not stare at what I have.
But his family is well-off, with parents, a brother and a sister-in-law. With such a large family, what if Yan Beiyang's parents have objections when he takes care of his parents in their old age? After all, in this small town, no one with a son would let his daughter take care of them in their old age. Even if they don't have a son, they would rather have a nephew take care of them in their old age than a daughter. It is generally difficult for the man's parents to accept a daughter taking care of her parents in their old age...
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just ask Yan Beiyang and I'll know. If he doesn't agree to me supporting Jiang He and his wife in their old age, then we'll just part ways. There's nothing to say. After all, my current golden fingers were given by the judge, and the condition for me was to support Jiang He and his wife in their old age and keep them healthy both physically and mentally. I can break any other rule but not this one.
If Yan Beiyang and his parents agree, then they can get along for a year or two and see how it goes. If it's a good match, they can get married. If not, they can break up.
The next day, Jiang Shushu went to the park for a run and met Yan Beiyang in the park. They ran 6 laps together without saying a word.
After Jiang Shushu ran 6 laps, he slowly started walking, and Yan Beiyang followed him. The two occasionally exchanged a word or two, but neither of them mentioned the confession from last night.
Jiang Shushu waited and waited, but Yan Beiyang didn't ask anything about confession. Jiang Shushu had already thought it through last night and didn't like to drag things out, so he said, "Yan Beiyang, I've thought about what you asked me last night for a long time, and I've finished thinking it through."
Yan Beiyang looked at Jiang Shushu happily, "So what's your answer? ... I was afraid you'd feel pressured, so I didn't ask you just now. I plan to ask you again in a couple of days."
Jiang Shushu pointed to a deserted corner and said, "There are fewer people there. Let's sit there and chat."
"good."
"Before I give my answer, let me first talk about my family situation. I'm from the countryside, living in Hualing Brigade. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to ride a bike from where I work to my hometown. My parents are still alive, but they have rural household registration. I also have an older brother who lives in the provincial capital and is married. My eldest sister-in-law is from the city and she particularly dislikes my parents. My eldest brother sided with his wife, so my relationship with my parents and your eldest brother's family is not harmonious..."
"Don't worry, I will never be like your sister-in-law. Your parents are my parents, and I will definitely respect them."
"Thank you. Please listen to me first. My eldest brother is unfilial, and I cannot be unfilial. Given the personalities of my eldest brother and his wife, they probably won't take care of my parents in the future. Even if they are forced to take them in to take care of them, they probably won't treat them well. I will provide for my parents in their old age. When they are old, I will take them to live with me, or buy or rent a house for them near where I live so that it will be easier to take care of them. But don't worry, I will pay for all the expenses of my parents' retirement myself. I can afford it and it won't affect my own small family. I hope my partner can accept and respect my parents from the bottom of their heart. Of course, I will treat his parents the same way."
"Yan Beiyang, this is the situation in my family. Can you accept it?"
Yan Beiyang was silent, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "I can accept it. I have the ability to support you."
"Yan Beiyang, this isn't a question of whether I can afford it or not. I will support my parents. That's my responsibility, and I won't put that responsibility on your shoulders. In this area, I've never heard of a married woman providing for her parents in their old age. If you want to be with me, you might face criticism and even ridicule. Have you ever thought about that? And do your parents mind if I provide for their old age? Do they mind if others talk about them? Have you considered these things?"
Yan Beiyang had never thought about these questions and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Why are there so many problems with dating? Isn't it enough for everyone to like each other? I have a salary, savings, and can support my family.
"Yan Beiyang, I admire you as a person. I don't want us to become a couple of resentful lovers in the future, so I want to make things clear. After all, liking someone doesn't mean they are suitable for each other."
Yan Beiyang was anxious. "I have no objection to you raising the child for your parents. As their son-in-law, I will also be filial to them."
"Will your parents object to their daughter-in-law taking care of their parents?"
Yan Beiyang suddenly thought of a few years ago when his sister-in-law Sun Xin wanted to bring his elderly mother to live with them, but was rejected by his mother Dong Dayun. He couldn't bring himself to say that his parents wouldn't object.
Jiang Shushu: It seems that Lin’s parents mind.
"My mom is my mom, and I am me. When we get married and move out, you won't live with my mom, so you don't have to bother with my mom."
Jiang Shushu: "..." She's your biological mother. After you marry her, we're family. Can I just ignore your mother if I want to? If things get so bad together, how can I let Jiang He and his wife come live here? I'm afraid I'll be labeled a wicked daughter-in-law. If I pay attention to her, she's the elder and I'm the younger, so I'll probably suffer a lot of injustice. If I ignore her, I'm afraid I'll be drowned by all the spit from people outside. What do you mean by disrespecting the parents-in-law? What do you mean by being unfilial? What do you mean by being a traitor...
Isn't this asking for trouble? If my reputation gets so bad, I might even lose my stable job. So as long as Yan Beiyang's parents have something against me or my parents, there's no way I can have a future with Yan Beiyang.
"If you do this, what's the difference between you and my elder brother? Yan Beiyang, go back and discuss it with your family. If your parents are dissatisfied with me or the fact that I provide for my parents in their old age, it proves that we are not destined to be together. Yan Beiyang, I want to live a simple life and don't want to deal with trivial matters all day long. Therefore, the attitude of your family is very important. I don't want your family to use the fact that I provide for my parents in the future as an excuse.
