"It's fine as long as you're happy." Li He was genuinely happy for him.
Feng Lei had found a girl from the countryside. When Chang Jing first heard about it, she felt like the world was falling apart. Her vision blurred and she almost collapsed.
"I don't agree!"
Chang Jing, who had always respected her son's opinion, rejected him for the first time.
"Why?" Feng Lei didn't understand. She was such a beautiful girl, obedient and sensible. He didn't know why his mother would object.
"If you marry a girl from the countryside, you'll have to suffer for the rest of your life." Chang Jing had come from the countryside herself. She understood the hardships and burdens of the countryside. Marrying a girl from the countryside meant marrying the daughter-in-law's entire family. The daughter-in-law's parents, siblings, and so on and so forth. Her husband had died early and it was considered a relief. She couldn't let her son suffer the consequences.
"I have the ability to earn money! I don't need you to care about me! " Feng Lei had earned quite a lot over the years. He was completely independent in his management business. He thought of himself as an adult and had the ability and responsibility to make decisions.
His mother wanted him to give up his beloved girl. He couldn't agree to it no matter what.
Chang Jing burst into tears. "You've never been taken advantage of, and you've never been tricked before. Why must you be so stubborn? I'm your mother. Why would I harm you? "
The Fengs fell into a cold war. The atmosphere was a little strange.
Feng Lei looked for Li He to help. "Help me talk to my mother. Why can't I find a girl from the countryside? She came from the countryside herself. What reason does she have to dislike the countryside? "
Li He said, "Your mother might not be right. The probability of her being right might not be higher than 50%. When she analyzes your marriage, she will think about it from countless angles. The only thing she lacks is understanding the relationship between the two of you. Of course, you've only been dating for half a year. You have to think about it. You should talk to your mother. It wasn't easy for her to raise you and your sister. Be understanding of her. "
He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. He wouldn't be able to get anything out of it. He had always supported other people's freedom of marriage, but when it came to his two sisters, he gave up the so-called freedom of marriage. He believed that he had the right and responsibility to interfere with the marriage of his son and daughter. The reason was that he ate more salt than they ate.
If he favored these two people, he would support the freedom of marriage. If he didn't, he would become a dictator.
"Brother Li, I'm begging you. My mother usually treats you well. She always listens to whatever you say." Feng Lei pestered Li He tirelessly.
"Sigh, I'll help you find out when I have time." Unable to withstand Feng Lei's pestering, Li He responded randomly. However, the seniority in the family was already messed up. He called Chang Jing Big Sister, Feng Lei called him Big Brother, and Feng Rui called him Uncle.
When he said this to Chang Jing, Chang Jing said angrily, "You're still a commander without an army. You should take care of yourself first."
After saying this impulsively, he seemed to regret it a little. He smiled and said, "I didn't mean anything else, don't think too much about it. What I mean is, you're already so old, it's time to find a partner. "
"Then do as you see fit. I think Feng Lei has a good relationship with that girl. "Li He didn't want to say more after getting himself into trouble for no reason. He suddenly realized that Chang Jing was very beautiful even when she was angry. A beautiful woman acting cute when she was angry, while an unbeautiful woman acting unreasonable when she was angry.
"Relationship? Does he treat relationships like food or something? He hasn't been taken advantage of before, so he doesn't know what's important. " Chang Jing still had the beauty and charm of a young girl. Tears flashed in her crystal-clear eyes, and she said in a choked voice, "My Feng Lei used to be so sensible, and he did whatever I said. But look at him now, he's actually singing a different tune from me and insisting on going against me. Tell me, how is marriage something that only one person can decide? He thinks he's infallible and insists on making decisions for himself. He'll regret it sooner or later. It'll be the same for you in the future. Don't look for someone with a heavy burden. They're all burdens, or they'll crush you to death. Don't think that you're free and unfettered now, but when it's your turn, you won't be able to escape even if you want to. You won't even have a place to cry. "
"Alright, you're right." Seeing that Chang Jing was crying for no reason, Li He hurriedly stopped the battle and admitted his mistake.
The ideal state of a personal marriage was, of course, the unity of feelings, sex, and marriage, which was what many men and women in love dreamed of. However, if one were to open their eyes and take a look, they would realize that love and marriage never seemed to be unified in real life.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about him and Zhang Wanting in the past. If Zhang Wanting didn't have such a heavy family burden, if he didn't have such a heavy family burden, would he have lived a carefree life in the first half of his life? At the very least, he wouldn't have to struggle to buy a newspaper, and he wouldn't have to worry about whether to quit smoking or not. One must know that his salary at that time was already considered to be in the middle class, but he still lived a hard life.
Of course, this problem no longer existed for him in this life. He was now a tycoon, and he had the confidence to do anything.
"I've always been right." On this kind of issue, Chang Jing wasn't humble at all. She thought that she was experienced, so she naturally knew everything.
Feng Lei couldn't make a breakthrough with Chang Jing, so he naturally put in effort on Old Madam Feng. He didn't go to Xianghe anymore, but helped Old Madam Feng sell rice wine and rice noodles every day.
Old Madam Feng said, "My good grandson, listen to your mom. What she said isn't unreasonable. There are many good girls out there, so don't hang yourself on one tree."
"Grandma, how old do you think I am? Has anyone ever mentioned having a wife for me before? "
Old Madam Feng said, "No, you're not that old, so it's normal for no one to mention it to you."
"Grandma, don't lie to me. Look at Wang Xinmin, he's one year younger than me, and he got married last year. Moreover, those who got married in this area all had a job and a unit. I understand now. I don't have a proper job, so I'm a level lower than others. "
Old Madam Feng counted with her fingers the children who got married and didn't get married in the past few years, and realized that it really made sense!
However, she couldn't destroy her grandson's confidence, so she forced a smile and said, "We already have a house, so it's not difficult to find a wife for you."
"Grandma, you still don't understand. It's not about the house. The key is that I don't have a proper job, so who would be interested in our family? Our situation is very special! The girls in the city won't even look at me, let alone marry me. If you want your grandson to be a bachelor for the rest of his life, then you should listen to my mom. "
Old Madam Feng looked at her grandson with a complicated expression. Her family's situation was quite special. She was a widow, and her wife was also a widow. It wouldn't be nice to have two widows in one family! With her family's situation, it was really difficult to find a wife in the city. Back then, she married Chang Jing from the countryside because she was a widow, so her son married her.
"Your mouth is getting more and more ridiculous. I won't hold you back."
Feng Lei saw that Old Madam Feng was showing signs of loosening up, so he quickly put in more effort, or else all his previous efforts would be wasted. "Grandma, don't you understand what my mom means? She said that she would rather me be a bachelor for the rest of my life than marry a countryside girl! Those are her exact words, right? You heard it from the side. Grandma, you can't really let your grandson be a bachelor for the rest of his life, right? "
"Your mom is joking." Old Madam Feng was really a little flustered. She had been with Chang Jing for half her life, so she knew her too well. She really could do it. Chang Jing only cared about whether her stomach was full or not, and she didn't care about the continuation of her children. Chang Jing might not care, but Old Madam Feng couldn't not care. Feng Lei was the only child in a thousand acres of land. If he really became a bachelor, it would be the end of the family! She couldn't be the sinner of the Feng family!
All these years, she had asked the old ladies in the neighborhood to find a suitable girl for Feng Lei, but they all agreed in person, and none of them had introduced her. The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt.
The more she thought about it, the more flustered she became.
Feng Lei pretended to be about to cry. "Grandma, I'm telling you, I won't marry anyone other than this girl. If you really have the heart to let me be a bachelor, then I'll accept my fate. "
