Zuo Zuo's boss sighed, "I was right about this. Is Nana alright?"
Tongtong's mother: "How can she be alright? If she were alright, would she make things difficult for our Tongtong?"
"She was making things difficult for Xiao Han, not for our Tongtong."
"How can it not be difficult for our Tongtong? Never mind, let's not talk about it anymore. Anyway, in your heart, your niece is perfect."
"Have Tongtong try to persuade Nana."
"I'd like Tongtong to talk to her. But if she sees that Tongtong likes Xiao Han's mother more than her, won't she give Tongtong a hard time again?"
"How could that be? Nana isn't that kind of person."
"She would feel uncomfortable even if she didn't give Tongtong a hard time."
"That's true." Zuo Zuo's boss was only concerned about his niece. "Then don't let Tong Tong go."
"Okay. Now that you've finished talking about your niece, can you tell me about your own daughter?"
"You mean Xiao Han said he wanted to date Tongtong?"
Tongtong's mother rolled her eyes. She was so anxious and worried, but the other person hadn't taken her words to heart at all: "Hmm. Do you think he really wants to date Tongtong?"
"No. Our Tongtong..." Zuo Zuo's boss wanted to say that Tongtong wasn't as pretty or as smart as Nana. But if he said that, Tongtong's mother would definitely get angry. "Our Tongtong just happened to be there, and Nana asked Tongtong that question. He's probably afraid Tongtong will say she's too scared to marry him, so he said he wanted to pursue her. Okay, that's all for now, I have something to do. Bye."
"Don't hang up. He doesn't really want to pursue our Tongtong, does he?"
"Okay. Alright, I'm hanging up now. I have a meeting in a bit."
Tongtong's mother was disappointed. "Then you go ahead and do your work. Bye."
"Um."
Meanwhile, Zuo Zuo also told Xiao Man about what happened today. "Mom, I want to try with Tong Tong."
Xiaoman raised an eyebrow: "Why?"
Zuo Zuo looked at Xiao Man and said, "Because I think you have better taste than me. Since you like Tong Tong, maybe the two of us are really a good match."
Xiaoman glanced at Zuo Zuo: "It's you who's getting married."
Zuo Zuo laughed as soon as she heard that. "I know."
"Have you thought it through?"
"Um."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "You already said today that you want to try dating her, so just wait for her answer."
Zuo Zuo paused for a moment, then understood. What Jona said today… “Mom, are you trying to see if she’ll be influenced by Jona?”
"Um."
"But she only had contact with us once."
“If she’s smart enough, she can learn a lot from just one visit to our house. Also, I want to see if she understands and dares to seize the opportunity.”
"Do you understand? Do you dare?"
Xiaoman nodded. "First, she has to determine whether your statement about wanting to try things out with her is out of necessity or genuine. Second, there's Jona between you. If she were to date you, Jona and her parents might have objections to her. Even her parents might object."
"What if she's both knowledgeable and daring, but still doesn't like me?"
“Even if you marry her, Jona might become a problem between you.” Xiaoman looked at Zuozuo and said, “You can’t win someone’s heart just because you want to be with them.”
Zuo Zuo thought for a moment and said, "Okay. I'll see if she gives me an answer."
"Um."
In the evening, Tongtong and her mother were having dinner when Zuozuo's boss walked in from outside.
Tongtong immediately stood up. "Dad, you're back."
Tongtong's mother: "Have you eaten yet?"
"No."
Tongtong's mother: "Then I'll ask Auntie to make you some more."
"good."
After Tongtong's mother told the aunt, she sat down opposite the leader, Zuo Zuo.
The leader, Zuo Zuo, leaned back on the sofa and casually said, "Go eat. Don't wait for me."
"I'm not waiting for you. I just want you to think carefully about whether Xiao Han's statement about trying to date Tongtong is really true?"
Leader Zuo rubbed his forehead. "Didn't I already tell you? Why are you still asking?"
Tongtong's mother glared at Zuo Zuo's boss. "Do you think I don't know you? When I called you today, you were probably only thinking about your niece."
"How could that be? Even the closest niece can't compare to a daughter!" Leader Zuo Zuo looked at Tong Tong. "Right? A daughter?"
Tongtong smiled and nodded. "Mm."
Tongtong's mother was still not giving up: "Think about it again."
"No need to think about it. Our Tongtong... um... it would be best if our Tongtong found someone with similar conditions to us. That way, our Tongtong won't be mistreated in her husband's family."
"I heard from Tongtong that Xiao Han's sisters-in-law all respect Xiao Han's mother. If Xiao Han's mother wasn't good, then Xiao Han's sisters-in-law definitely wouldn't respect her."
"Tongtong only went to Xiao Han's house once, how can you tell whether his sisters-in-law really respect his mother?"
Tongtong quickly swallowed the food in her mouth. "Dad, you'll see for yourself if you go there once. Xiao Han's sisters-in-law really respect his mother."
Zuo Zuo's boss thought for a moment and said, "I think I've heard someone say that Xiao Han's mother is particularly capable."
Tongtong's mother: "Huh? Tongtong, does Xiao Han's mother...does she look like a shrew?"
"What? Mom, I'm telling you, Xiao Han's mom looks... um..." Tongtong couldn't think of a way to describe Xiaoman. "Um... um..."
Tongtong's mother: "Stop saying 'uh-huh' all the time."
“I… um… Xiao Han’s mother looks very young.”
Tongtong's mother glared at Tongtong. "Who asked you that?"
"Hehe! Mom, Xiao Han's mom seems pretty tough. But definitely not the shrewish kind. Hmm..." Tongtong thought for a long time before finally coming up with a word: "Domineering. Yes. Mom, Xiao Han's mom seems really domineering."
Tongtong's parents: "Domineering?"
"Hmm. Dad, Mom, let me tell you, Xiao Han's mom looks really imposing."
Leader Zuo: "Why do I feel like those words you just mentioned should be applied to Xiao Han's father?"
Tongtong's mother: "Exactly. Xiao Han's father has been to the battlefield and holds a high position, so he must be very imposing."
"No, I was talking about Xiao Han's mother."
Tongtong's parents still felt that Tongtong's description was inaccurate. However, Tongtong's mother thought that no matter how capable Xiaoman was, she could never treat Tongtong like a mother-in-law would treat her daughter-in-law in feudal society. "Tongtong, since Xiao Han said he wants to try dating you, then you should give it a try with Xiao Han."
"Cough cough..." Tongtong almost choked. "Mom, can we change the subject?"
Leader Zuo: "Exactly. What if Tongtong starts taking your words seriously?"
"I...I just wanted to find a good husband for Tongtong, didn't I?"
The leader shook his head. "Alright. Go eat."
Seeing that her husband and daughter weren't enthusiastic, Tongtong's mother had no choice but to give up. "Okay."
After finishing her meal, Tongtong returned to her room and wondered how happy her mother would be if she really got together with Zuozuo, since her mother liked Zuozuo so much. Thinking about this, Tongtong recalled Zuozuo's expression and tone when he told her he wanted to try dating her. Lost in thought, Tongtong froze.
