Youyou thought for a moment and said, "I guess I'll try to find a solution like Mom did."
Han Bin smiled. "Not necessarily. You should find a chance to ask her. But when you ask, don't tell her what your mother did. Just say that your mother encountered something like this when she was young, and then let her guess what your mother did."
Youyou frowned. "Dad, don't you like Yanfeng either?"
"Your father doesn't have a very good impression of her," Han Bin said, looking at Youyou. "At first glance, Xiao Tang looks more like your mother's daughter than your sister, but in reality, she doesn't resemble your mother at all. Let me put it this way: if your mother were a general, then Xiao Tang is just someone who plays the role of a general on stage. No matter how well she acts, she's not a real general."
Han Bin patted Youyou on the shoulder. "Son, you can't judge a person by their appearance alone."
"Father, Yanfeng, she..."
Youyou had just started to speak when Han Bin interrupted him. Han Bin knew that Youyou couldn't possibly wake up from his infatuation with Tang Yanfeng all at once. "Time will tell. Your mother told you to wait a year before bringing this up so you could spend more time with her. But you two just came back without a word."
"Dad, please help me persuade Mom. Yanfeng is really a good person."
"You should figure out if Xiao Tang is actually the person you're looking for before you say anything more." Han Bin stood up from his stool. "Alright. You can pack up yourself. I'm leaving."
"father……"
“Calling me ‘Dad’ won’t help. And let me tell you, don’t bother your mother with this. If you dare to go and nag her, I’ll have Old Wolf and his son kick you out of the house.”
Youyou was extremely frustrated: "Dad, if you won't let me go and talk to Mom, how am I supposed to convince her?"
Han Bin glanced at Youyou: "If your mother thinks it's okay, she'll agree even if you don't talk to her. If your mother thinks it's not suitable, no matter how much you say, it won't make a difference."
“I know. I just want to properly introduce Yanfeng to my mother.”
"No need. Your mother already called your brother Tengteng. He'll investigate for your mother when he has time."
"ah?!"
Han Bin glared at Youyou: "What 'ah'? You've brought her back, so of course your mother and I need to get to know her properly."
Youyou was relieved. "You'll understand why I wanted to marry her once you see the investigation results."
Han Bin smiled. "I hope she won't disappoint you. Alright, get back to washing the dishes."
"good."
After Youyou returned, Han Bin stepped down from his position as the cook.
On the other hand, Tang Yanfeng locked herself in her room as soon as she got home.
Tang Yanfeng's mother knocked on Tang Yanfeng's door when she saw that Tang Yanfeng hadn't come out: "Yanfeng, what's wrong?"
Tang Yanfeng's voice came from inside the house. "I'm fine."
"Why are you locked in the room and not coming out if there's nothing wrong?"
"I'm thinking about something."
"What are you thinking about? Tell your mother. I'll give you some advice."
"What ideas do you have?"
“You child, your mother has eaten more salt than you for over twenty years.”
"Then come in."
Tang's mother pushed open the door and went in. "Yanfeng, what's wrong?"
"I..." Tang Yanfeng recounted her story with Youyou from beginning to end.
After listening, Tang's mother frowned. "Yanfeng, I think you should just let this go. His mother and sister are so powerful; if you marry into their family, they'll definitely bully you. Besides, he's younger than you, and right now he's smitten with you and doesn't mind that you're older. But if his feelings for you fade in a few years, he'll start to dislike you. Then he can find a younger girl, while you'll only be able to find an old man."
Tang Yanfeng snorted. "He can find a young girl, and I can find a young man. I'm different from other women. I have my own company. If it weren't for his family's connections, I wouldn't even bother with him."
Tang's mother was just an ordinary housewife. "You child, why do you always compare yourself to men? Let me tell you, men have their way of living, and women have theirs. A man should find someone who is better than him..."
Tang Yanfeng was annoyed as soon as she heard this. "Mother, what era are we living in? Mother, if you're going to keep saying this, then you can leave."
"You silly child. I'm just afraid you'll regret it later."
"How could I, Tang Yanfeng, regret it?"
Tang's mother sighed inwardly. "Didn't your sister-in-law say all that just to tell you that even if you marry into their family, you can't benefit from their wealth?"
"I know. That's what's bothering me right now."
Tang's mother didn't want Tang Yanfeng and Youyou to be together: "Your mother-in-law is domineering, your sister-in-law is difficult, and they won't let you benefit from their relationship. Why did you marry into their family? To suffer?"
Tang Yanfeng was even more annoyed by his mother's words.
Tang's mother: "I think we should just let this matter go."
"No. I'm not willing to give up." If he hadn't known, it wouldn't have mattered, but now that he did, Tang Yanfeng wasn't going to let go. "I will definitely make them accept me."
Just as Tang Yanfeng finished speaking, his father's voice came from outside. "Where are they? Where did everyone go?"
Tang's mother: "Here she is. Yanfeng is back."
A moment later, Tang's father came in: "When did you get back?"
"Just got back."
Mr. Tang looked at Mrs. Tang and said, "Go and make something nice for Yanfeng."
"Okay." Tang's mother got up from the bed. "You should try to persuade Yanfeng. Yanfeng..." Tang's mother recounted the story of Tang Yanfeng and Youyou.
Tang's father was overjoyed after hearing this. "Yanfeng, is what your mother said true? You really saw Chen Chuan?"
"Um."
"That's wonderful!" Tang's father paced excitedly around the room several times. "Yanfeng, let me tell you, never give up. Whether our family can move up a notch depends on you." Although Chen Chuan was in the army, the rest of the Chen family worked for the government.
“I don’t want to give up either. But their family has so many rules.”
Tang's father looked at Tang Yanfeng and said, "Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Besides, even if you don't say anything, people who are interested will know whose daughter-in-law you are. And what if people don't know whose daughter-in-law you are after one year? Two years? Five years? Ten years? After a while, everyone will naturally know."
Tang Yanfeng slapped his forehead. "That's right. Dad, you've really woken me up from a dream."
"Haha... Your father has been in the government for so many years. If he couldn't even understand this little thing, he would have been squeezed into a corner long ago. By the way," Tang's father said to Tang Yanfeng, "Since your troublesome sister-in-law wants you to prove that you only have eyes for her brother, then you should prove it to her."
Tang Yanfeng understood: "Okay. I won't make any demands on them before getting married and having children."
“Yes.” Mr. Tang stroked his chin smugly. “That little girl dug a pit for you, so let’s use this pit she dug to cast a long line and catch a big fish.”
