"Can liking someone be used to make a living? Yan Beiyang, you have been working outside for several years. How come I find you so naive now? I admit that Jiang Shushu is a good person, but it is not enough to just have a good person to get married. Marriage is a matter of two families. You have to look at her family situation. Jiang Shushu's family situation will drag you down. Yes, you have some money now, so you think money is not important. But money will always be spent. Now that the outside world is so strict, do you still want to go back to the past? Do you want your mother to watch you make money for other people's parents regardless of your own life and death?" Dong Dayun's eyes were red as he spoke.
"Mom, it's not that serious. Xiao Jiang said she will take care of her parents' retirement money herself and won't cause us any trouble."
"She only earns that much every month. If her parents were sick, she wouldn't be able to take care of them. How could she not bother you?"
"Mom, I really like her. I know what I want. Can you let me handle our affairs myself? I don't want you and Dad to be too nice to Xiao Jiang's parents. Just treat us as ordinary neighbors. I will take care of her affairs."
"Mom feels sorry for you and doesn't want you to work too hard."
"I know what you mean, Mom, but I'll handle it. Mom, you have to trust my judgment. Xiao Jiang is a really good person. She's not someone who would disregard everything for her parents. She'll find a good balance between them and our little family."
Dong Dayun was furious when he saw Yan Beiyang refusing to listen to his advice, but he didn't want to become alienated from Yan Beiyang, so he could only suppress his anger.
"Okay, you're old enough now, I can't control you anymore, just date if you want! I hope you won't regret it in the future, because you'll realize how happy it is to have a good Yue family."
Yan Beiyang thanked her happily, because he knew that as long as he could pass his mother's test, his father would basically be fine. "Thank you, Mom. Can you help me with Dad's question?"
Dong Dayun: “…” I don’t want you to thank me at all.
Dong Dayun couldn't help but nagging, "Is there no room for maneuver with Brother Jiang? After all, providing for the elderly has been the responsibility of sons since ancient times. Besides, there is no overnight hatred between mother and son. When you have time, please persuade Xiao Jiang not to be too serious. Family harmony is the most important thing." If Jiang Shushu didn't have to provide for her parents in their old age and she had a job of her own, she would indeed be a good marriage partner.
"If it's appropriate, I will try to persuade him." It would be great if my brother-in-law could take care of my parents, so that no one would have to worry.
Before going to bed at night, Dong Dayun told Yan Weiguo that Yan Beiyang had found a partner, but that partner needed to provide for his parents in their old age.
When Yan Weiguo heard that Jiang Shushu had such a heavy burden, his first reaction was to disagree.
"Did you try to persuade Beiyang?"
Dong Dayun said angrily: "I persuaded him, why didn't I persuade him? I said a lot to him earnestly, but he just wouldn't listen to me and insisted on being with that Jiang Shushu."
"Then I will talk to Beiyang tomorrow. Jiang Shushu is indeed not a good marriage partner. The burden is too heavy. Isn't this asking for trouble?" He is usually a smart man, why is he being stupid now?
"Beiyang's heart, eyes, and mind are all filled with Jiang Shushu. How could he possibly listen to our advice? If we take a hard line, it will only backfire. Why should we be the bad guy? They've only just gotten along, and it's uncertain whether they'll be able to succeed in the future. Let's just let them get along for now."
"What if it succeeds? If we don't stop it now, Beiyang will be the one who suffers in the future."
"If it really works out, I'm not afraid. This is my plan. If Beiyang really does get together with Jiang Shushu, and Jiang Shushu is too embarrassed to tell her, then I, the mother-in-law, will tell her. It's not fair for a son not to provide for his parents in their old age. As long as the son of the Jiang family has a job and has some dignity, I won't be afraid that this burden will fall on him."
"Others have already raised the issue of retirement benefits. If we don't object now and then object later and then go to the Jiang family's son, won't that create family conflict? Will Jiang Shushu agree then?"
"I'm doing this for the good of their family. Why should she blame me? Besides, it's only natural for a son to provide for his parents in their old age. Why should she be dissatisfied? As long as someone takes care of her parents... How dare she blame me, a mother-in-law?"
"Then we'll see what happens."
When Yan Beiyang saw Jiang Shushu the next day, he immediately greeted her, "Good morning, Xiao Jiang."
"Good morning." So happy? Did his parents have any objections?
"I went back and asked my parents yesterday, and they have no objection to us jointly supporting your parents in the future."
Jiang Shushu: "..." No objection? Could it be that he didn't agree, and expressed it through silence?
"What did your parents say?"
Yan Beiyang didn't intend to tell the truth, because some things cannot be said. "I didn't say anything. My mother let me decide for myself. After all, it's me who is marrying the wife, not her. My mother asked me to bring you home for dinner when I have time so that we can get to know each other."
Jiang Shushu: "..." It seems that I misunderstood. I didn't expect Yan Beiyang's parents to be so open-minded. It's really rare in this era.
"Thank you for your parents' understanding. I will come to visit my uncle and aunt later." I will spend some time with Yan Beiyang first to see if our personalities are compatible. If they are, it won't be too late to visit them.
When Yan Beiyang heard Jiang Shushu say this, he knew that they were together. "So we are officially dating now, right?"
Jiang Shushu smiled and nodded. "Yes, Comrade Yan, please give me more advice in the future." Yan Beiyang has good conditions and his parents are open-minded. Where can he find such a good partner? How could he refuse?
"Haha, let's make progress together. From now on, I'll call you Shushu and you call me Beiyang. Is that okay?"
"Can."
"Shushu, come on, let's run together."
…
When Jiang Shushu got off work in the evening, as soon as he walked out of the state-owned hotel, he saw Yan Beiyang standing next to a bicycle.
When Yan Beiyang saw Jiang Shushu, he immediately smiled at her.
Qian Xiaoni, who was waiting for Han Ri not far from the entrance of the state-owned hotel, immediately widened her eyes and looked at Yan Beiyang and then at Jiang Shushu, her eyes full of gossip.
Qian Xiaoni was afraid that Jiang Shushu would find her, so she hid in a corner, leaving only half of her head there to peek.
They were talking and laughing, so they must be dating. When did they start dating? This is so mean. She didn't even tell me. I have to ask Jiang Shushu tomorrow. I told her about my relationship, so how could she not tell me about it? It hurts my heart so much.
