Song Yuehua poured her a cup of tea and asked, "What's going on?"
Tian thought about it and decided to tell Song Yuehua about the matter.
It turned out that after dinner today, Zong Yi privately told Tian about his relationship with Wu.
How could Tian accept this? After a big fight between mother and son, Tian ran away. Since she had nowhere to go, she came to the Song family.
After hearing this, Song Yuehua comforted him, "They are not engaged, so it is not against the law even if they are together."
"If it doesn't violate the law, what about human ethics?"
Tian said excitedly, "Even if the eldest brother is not here, it will not change the relationship between them as uncle and sister-in-law. How will others view them, how will they view Xiaobai, and how will they view our Zong family?"
Song Yuehua peeled an orange for Tian and handed it to her, saying, "As long as it doesn't violate the law, it doesn't matter what others think. On the contrary, from Xiaobai's point of view, this may not be a bad thing."
Tian ate a piece of orange and looked at Song Yuehua, and heard her say, "Wu is still young and single now, it's not good to stop her from remarrying. If she marries someone else, Xiaobai will not only lose his father, but also seldom see his mother."
"If Zongyi gets married and has children in the future, Xiaobai will be more like an outsider in the family. On the contrary, Zongyi is with Wu, not only can he keep his mother, but it will also be easier for him to get along with his uncle. After all, they are related by blood."
Tian was tangled up and said, "But they are uncle and sister-in-law after all."
Song Yuehua said, "If my aunt doesn't want it, they won't be able to get together."
After a while, Zong Yi came to take Tian home, "Mom, the boss is going to celebrate the New Year too, it's not good for you to stay here."
Before Tian could speak, Song Yuehua interrupted, "As long as Aunt Tian is willing, there is nothing wrong with my place. If you want to take your mother away, don't use this excuse."
Zong Yi explained, "Boss, this is a matter between me and Xinlian."
Tian snorted heavily.
It seems that my mother has already told the boss, Zong Yi walked up to Tian and squatted down and said, "Mother, I have discussed it with Xin Lian. If you don't want to, we won't get married."
Tian then looked at him.
Zong Yi continued, "You are afraid of rumors from outsiders, and I don't want to embarrass you, so I chose this compromise."
Song Yuehua felt something was wrong when she heard this and asked, "Do you mean to keep the status quo and not get married in the future?"
Zong Yi nodded and looked at Tian.
Tian's eyes were full of disbelief, "Xiaoyi, are you threatening me?"
"No! Mom!"
Zong Yi knelt down in front of Tian and said excitedly, "I love my sister-in-law. I don't want anyone else except her, but I don't want to hurt mother because of this. Mother, what should you and I do? Tell me..."
Tian gritted her teeth and felt heartbroken when she saw the look on her youngest son's face, of whom she was always proud.
Just then, Xiaoyu stuck her head in and said cautiously, "Sister, Aunt Wu is here."
The whole family got together.
"Let her come over." Song Yuehua said.
After Xiaoyu brought Mrs. Wu here, she hurried back to her room.
When Wu came over and saw Zong Yi kneeling in front of Tian, she also knelt down and said, "Mom, don't worry, I won't marry my uncle."
"Xinlian!" Zong Yi shouted.
Mrs. Wu continued to look at Mrs. Tian, her expression unchanged.
Having lived with her daughter-in-law for so many years, how could Tian not know what kind of person she was? She looked as gentle as water, but she was actually very stubborn. She didn't know how Xiaoyi had persuaded her to agree.
Tian looked at the wronged couple and her eyes suddenly turned red. "How are you going to explain to Xiaobai if you do this? How will the villagers view you?"
"Mom, will you agree as long as others have nothing to say?" Zong Yi asked.
Tian shook her head and said, "People's words are scary. How are you going to stop them from talking?"
"Mom, as long as I can do it, will you agree?" Zong Yi asked anxiously.
Tian took a breath, stared at him with red eyes and said, "As long as you can do it, I agree."
"Xinlian..." Zong Yi called Wu Xinlian softly.
A tear fell from Wu's eyes, and she said with trembling lips, "I will listen to mother."
Zong Yi helped the two of them up, thanked Song Yuehua, and then took the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law back home.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, a storyteller came to the village.
It just so happens that everyone is staying at home during the winter and has finished paying New Year's greetings. The villagers have nothing to do, so it's a good time to listen to storytelling.
So Zhou Lizheng opened the big house of the clan so that the villagers could listen to books and have fun here.
This storyteller was also quite good. He told many stories, including ones about chivalry and justice and ones about heroes saving beautiful girls.
Although the beauty was already a married woman, many men made obscene noises after hearing about the beauty and the hero spending a night together, and the women felt a little embarrassed.
Song Yuehua quickly took Xiaoyu and carried Dabao and Xiaobao back home.
But fortunately, the story of an honest official solving a case was told later, and everyone was fascinated by it.
When he told the story again, he told another story about a hero saving a beauty. It seemed fine at first, but later on, I found out that the two were actually adoptive father and daughter.
At this time, an old man named Zheng shouted, "Where did you come from, you lunatic? You keep saying evil words that disregard human ethics and deceive people. Get out of our village!"
"Grandpa, we listen to stories for fun. Why are you so anxious?" The storyteller put away his folding fan, looking indifferent.
Old Man Zheng said angrily, “That’s not the kind of story I want to hear!”
The storyteller chuckled and said, "Don't worry, old man. This is nothing. There are many such stories in the capital. When students from your village go there, they will know that what I said is true."
