I really didn't realize that my second sister had become so carefree.
"You're not surprised at all by this kind of thing?"
"What's so surprising about that? Besides, it's not a sign of being carefree."
Rather, she was used to this kind of thing because she worked at the hospital every day.
In her view, unless it's a matter of life and death, there's no need to worry about such things.
"You know what, it's possible, and I even overheard it."
"When did you learn to eavesdrop?"
“I wasn’t eavesdropping; I was listening openly and honestly.”
"Since you've listened so openly, why don't you tell me what you heard?"
"Actually, it was nothing, I just heard them saying something over there?"
Nowadays, most young people place a lot of emphasis on material things and will not easily discuss marriage if their partner does not meet their requirements.
How could you do this? Are you going to spend your whole life just dating and never get married?
Whether it's the man or the woman, isn't this just a waste of feelings?
"There are indeed such people who claim to be against marriage."
"That bullshit about not getting married is just a bunch of scoundrels in my opinion."
"You could say that, but it's only a small part of it, and at most it's just an excuse."
"Excuse?"
"That's right! It's an excuse. Think about it, if a guy doesn't meet another girl's standards, but she really enjoys the process of dating, how could she not date him?"
However, at some point, if she finds someone better, she will break up with him.
"Isn't this what everyone's been talking about these days—having a backup plan?"
"yes?"
"Could it be that the girl from the Jing family is like that too? If so, can Mingcheng bear this kind of deception?"
After all, his job wasn't very lucrative.
How can anyone afford to date here?
Furthermore, if she insists on staying with Mingcheng, will she be able to endure hardship with him in the future?
"It's really hard to say, since we don't know her well."
If this child grew up with her parents in the military, her upbringing should be fine.
If she were to live with Old Master Jing, she would follow his instructions and leave Mingcheng without hesitation once he had accomplished his goal.
If it doesn't work out, then she'll cling to Mingcheng—no, she should cling to our Shen family relentlessly.
"Is it because we can give her a good life? How could that be? The Shen family doesn't earn much. Even though they live in nice houses now, their standard of living is just so-so."
If she really has money, it's with you. Does she really want to compare herself to Ruohua and the others?
"Even if we don't compare, as long as I leave a little room for her, it will be enough."
After all, how could a pampered young lady who's used to having everything done for her possibly endure hardship?
If someone is someone who always has money to spend, what do you think would happen if they suddenly ran out of money?
"They definitely couldn't handle this kind of blow, but we've never lacked money for our daughter, and we've still managed to live a good life."
Even while in the military, she never relied on her family to get special treatment from her superiors.
Why can't it be the same for other girls?
"There's really no way to say that; it's just that the upbringing was different."
Just like us, Ruohua is the only girl in their generation, but we have never loved her too much because of that.
Instead, they raised her like a boy from a young age, and even though her parents felt sorry for her, they never stopped her.
But how would we know what the situation is like in other people's homes?
Even among the few families I knew, none of their daughters had practiced martial arts from a young age like Ruohua.
"That's true, but how can we judge whether the Jing family's daughter is truly sincere towards Mingbai?"
"That's easy to say. If Mingcheng plans to introduce her to his parents or elders when he comes back this time, we'll find out soon enough."
"Is this okay? Then who should do this?"
"There's no need to arrange anyone specifically. When Sister Nan meets her, just bring a set of jewelry."
No matter how old a woman is, she can't help but like jewelry.
If we're going to meet the elders in the family, my sister-in-law and I will wear some as well.
I refuse to believe I can't see it.
"That's true, unless she doesn't understand."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as the jewelry is beautiful."
"Too."
"Actually, we don't need to worry too much. Don't forget that even if we all agree, if they really get to the point of discussing marriage, just going through the political vetting process might be very difficult."
"Oh really, how could I have forgotten about that?"
"You're just too worried. Your focus on Mingcheng has made you forget about this matter."
"That's right, how could I not worry about a child who grew up beside me?"
"That's true, it's really too early to worry about that now."
"Isn't that right? By the way, Big Brother has come out to see people off, let's hurry up and go take their place!"
Being a receptionist is the most tiring job.
"Isn't that right? We have to consider everyone's needs, it's really troublesome."
"We have to accommodate you even if it's inconvenient."
“That’s right. If Zhengze hadn’t been so busy lately, I would have arranged for him to come.”
"Alright, hurry up! Stop complaining."
"Yes, I will follow Madam's arrangements."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
And so, throughout the morning, until lunchtime, wave after wave of people came to visit the old lady.
Don't let the fact that the old lady used to work at the military hospital fool you; she didn't hold a high position, but her husband was still there for her.
From the highest-ranking leaders to the senior leaders in the hospital, everyone sent people over.
People who don't know the situation might think the old lady is very ill.
Many neighbors also came over, but they didn't say a word or even drink a cup of tea; they just left their things and left.
I feel really bad about it. If it weren't for the special circumstances of our situations, we wouldn't have had to trouble everyone.
"I'll arrange for someone to go and deliver some things to the neighbors."
"I know, Dad, don't worry! The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, I'll have the kids deliver mooncakes to you then."
"That's good. Remember each family's preferences, especially for older people. Don't put too much sugar in the large mooncakes."
"Okay, you can rest assured about that!"
"Oh, right, the people from above just spoke to me privately. From what I heard, they wanted your mother to stay in the hospital a few more days."
