BTTS 402

 Chapter 402. Supportive attitude


Seeing her like this, Lin Qing He smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Fourth Aunt isn't here to scold you."

She was clear about this niece's personality. She won't commit acts like Xu Sheng Mei even if she was given the guts to.

So Lin Qing He wasn't very worried either. She just planned to come over to find out about the situation. After all, Er Ni was brought here by her. Her mother wasn't by her side. Naturally, as her aunt, she could ask about it.

"Fourth Aunt, don't worry. I will never shame old Zhou's family." Ni said on Tuesday first.

Lin Qing He smiled: "Fourth Aunt knows, so you don't have to worry too much. Fourth Aunt has half an hour. Tell me."

"I'm not going out with Wang Yuan. I told him that I'm not suitable for him." Zhou Er Ni pursed her lips and told.

In fact, she was a little bit upset.

Don't know what got into Wang Yuan in these past few days. He used to come in secret. Now he was almost being open about it these days and went straight to the evening school to pick her up after class.

She was taken aback when she saw him the first day. She was scared that Hu Zi and Gang Zi would notice, but neither of them sensed what was going on.

Zhou Er Ni told Wang Yuan not to come. However, Wang Yuan didn't listen to her and came to pick her up.

In fact, when Lin Qing He came to talk about this, Zhou Er Ni finally had a sense of relief.

"Fourth Aunt, I told him very clearly, we aren't people on the same path. However, he seems to think differently and won't listen to me."Zhou Er Ni was also a little bit distressed.

"When did it start?" Lin Qing He asked with a smile.

"A few days before he brought up that he lacked an accountant, he told me." Zhou Er Ni lowered her head and replied.

Lin Qing He was surprised. How long had it been?

She was wondering why did it seem that Er Ni was against going to the clothing factory. And why Wang Yuan actually pulled her second son to see her parents-in-law. Or always coming to the dumpling shop to sit.

It was all pinned on old Wang. Never thought this was the real reason.

Lin Qing He thought back, Even so, it wasn't completely apparent. Wang Yuan came for Er Ni.

"You two can hide it deep enough." Lin Qing He shook her head and laughed.

"Fourth Aunt." Zhou Er Ni pursed her lips.

Lin Qing He looked at her and said, "How did Wang Yuan respond to you?" 
Seeing her niece looked embarrassed, she grinned, "Don't be shy. Fourth Aunt already expreienced it."

She didn't intend to inquire about these with her niece, but she should check for her niece to see if Wang Yuan was sincere to her niece?

In fact, Lin Qing He could also tell whether Wang Yuan was intentional or sincere. Otherwise, why would he go to see Father Zhou and Mother Zhou?

According to her second boy, it seems that his grandparents taken a liking to Wang Yuan and had a good impression of him.

"He said that his old Wang family dotes their wives and that I would definitely not regret marrying him." Zhou Er Ni blushed and lowered her head.

Lin Qing He had a twinkle in her eyes: "What else?"

"I felt we aren't right for each other, so I told him that my family is very poor and my parents are farmers. He doesn't care about those, just let me not think about it so much. I can take care of the children at home in the future. I said I don't want to. He said he can then." Zhou Er Ni flushed.

That man was really a rascal. Actually dared to say these words. It was really made one feel embarrassed.

Lin Qing He took in her niece's reaction. She clearly had feelings for him.

She wasn't very surprised. From her perspective, Wang Yuan was a young and promising person. She originally thought he was a playboy, but after two years of socializing, she found that he wasn't that kind of rich second generation.

Personality was considered great.

It can be said he got the best in terms of family background with financial resources. What's more, in a place like the capital. It can definitely be regarded as a veritable wealthy family.

These were all heard from old Wang.

So as an individual, he was fine. The only problem was that the two families were too far apart.

"I know that people like him who wants to go out with me is climbing higher branch for me. However, Fourth Aunt, I never thought of climbing a higher branch. I’ve told him more than once that my family is too far off from his family." Zhou Er Ni said.

There was a degree of solemnness between her eyebrows.

"There is indeed a gap between the family." Lin Qing He uttered.

This was a fact. Indisputable fact.

"But you aren't bad. What's more, old Zhou family isn't bad either." Lin Qing He changed the conversation. She looked at Zhou Er Ni and said: "How many college students are there in the old Zhou family? We are a little poor, but our family background is unblemished, honest, and self-reliant. Your father, your mother, and their promising college student son, Yang Yang, are all diligent and hardworking. They don't need you, their daughter, to support her maternal family."

"My father and my mother gave birth to me, so I naturally want to be filial to them." Zhou Er Ni responded.

Lin Qing He beamed and looked at her appreciatively: "Fourth Aunt is very pleased that you can think like that. Still, Fourth Aunt wants to be honest with you."

"En. Fourth Aunt, do speak." Zhou Er Ni knew the main point was coming and looked at her fourth aunt a little nervously.

"Fourth Aunt personally suggested that you go out with Wang Yuan and see how it goes." Lin Qing He looked at his niece seriously and stated, "Wang Yuan is indeed a good young man."

Whether it was external conditions or personal qualities, Wang Yuan wasn't bad.

And as she said earlier, although old Zhou Family was a little poorer and impoverish, there was absolutely no need for their daughter to supplement her family.

Besides, Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law also got a promising eldest son in a genuine teacher college. After graduation, he will have an iron rice bowl. Her family got him.

But as Zhou Er Ni said, her parents raised her this big. They even let the sisters go to school. Although it was only for three years, it was quite rare in the village. Their parents loved them but the family conditions were really limited. They can only give up halfway.

Speaking with conscience, Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister truly doted their daughter.
 
So, being filial was natural.

"There is a gap when compared with Wang Yuan's family, but Wang Yuan doesn't rely on the family. Come to think of it, his parents don't need to live with him. Basically, your parents don't need your assistance. Occasionally, you can send some money back as filial piety and call back to check up on them. If you have time, go and see them. That way your filial piety can be considered fulfilled. In the future, it will you two going living your lives together. As long as you guys are okay, other things are basically not a big problem." Lin Qing He said.

"Fourth Aunt, the gap between me and him isn't small." Zhou Er Ni didn't expect her fourth aunt to be supportive when she found out. She hesitated.

"It's natural to have a big gap between you two. What is his background? What is your background? He is much older than you. If there wasn't, I won't set my eyes on him." Lin Qing He didn't care.

  5. I still liked it better when Qing He said she won’t interfere much in matters of the future generation. Now she’s just like any other female of this era, meddling in marriage matters. It was fine when she advised against Xiao Mei’s boyfriend before because it was considered warning against evil. Xiao Mei was still the one who found a husband of her own. San Ni and Li Ai Guo too. They’re good. No matter what Qing He would have said, San Ni had her own thoughts and was committed to the marriage. Qing He only needed to give a few advice. However, what was up with trying to show goodwill for Weng family when they were trying to pursue Da Wa as son-in-law even though Da Wa still had no thoughts about it? Even if Da Wa had some subconscious (which so far has not been revealed to be the case), I thought per her previous attitude, she’d just leave him alone to chase a wife of his own, not half-sell him to a family that’s been grooming him since young! Don’t tell me they were good to Da Wa for the sake that he’s their son’s classmate and friend. They were obviously doing it to bait a son-in-law home. And now for Er Ni. Okay, fine. Er Ni might have some feelings, right? She’s just keeping it in for various reasons. Qing He can see that so she just have been her old self, give a small nudge or some hooded advice like “Zhou family is not as bad compared to the Wang family” or “I think this guy is pretty good, maybe you can rethink it a bit”. Or maybe just leave them be? Certainly not “I think he’s good, date him.” If Er Ni already has some feelings and Wang Yuan is persistent and sincere, they will eventually get together by themselves and it can be testament also to their commitment to each other. And for what, just because Er Ni is 19 and it’s just the right age? Who decides that?? Sure, in their era, it is. However, Qing He’s not a genuine rural lady of the 80’s. Whatever for has she been teaching these kids progressive mindsets, wanting them to broaden their horizon? And now she wants them to take this “opportunity” and date quickly or it might be “too late”? Kinda uncomfortable about this to be honest.

  6. She's not interfering though?
    She's giving honest advice, it's still up to Er Ni if she would heed such advice.
