Chapter 784: Prohibit Abuse of the Elderly

"Did he come back alone?" The old man asked another question.

Wen Shuyi nodded: "Yes."

"Tsk." The old man glared and looked at Wen Shuyi: "The one Yuanmao mentioned before, the one he ran into at the second child's house—didn't I tell you to find an opportunity to take a look? Didn't you see her?"

"I saw her."

"You saw her?" The old man asked excitedly: "How is she?"

"I think she's quite good."

"Then have the second child bring her back! I'm so anxious that my hair has turned white. Since you have her, why don't you bring her back quickly?"

"Let's talk about this in a while." Wen Shuyi said, looked at the old man's hair, and reminded: "Your hair is white because you've reached that age."

After going downstairs, the food was already set on the dining table. Seeing Jiang Yuanliang, the old man didn't wait for his son to speak and took the initiative: "Don't come back alone next time!"

Jiang Yuanliang couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, I'll bring someone back next time."

The old man paused in the act of sitting down, looked at Jiang Yuanliang half-squatting, his eyes full of surprise.

Did this kid change his nature today? He actually agreed so readily, and it was his own initiative?

After sitting down slowly, he asked: "Why? Not refuting this time? Didn't you deny it when your big brother brought it up last time?"

"The second child didn't refute." Jiang Yuanmao spoke for his younger brother.

As a result, the old man said: "But he didn't admit it either. Not admitting it is refuting."

Everyone nodded bitterly, following the old man's meaning.

The old man looked at Wen Shuyi. Compared to his son, he trusted his eldest daughter-in-law more: "Shuyi, didn't you see her? How is she?"

Wen Shuyi sat straight, her posture exceptionally elegant. She tilted her head slightly to look directly at the old man and said softly: "I saw her. She is a good person, has her own career, and her appearance and personality are both good."

"Has a career? A strong woman?" The old man asked.

Wen Shuyi nodded with a smile: "I suppose so, but it's a small company. It definitely can't compare to our family, but we don't care about this, right? The main thing is to look at character and appearance."

The old man nodded. The Jiang family didn't care about family background.

"Then when will you bring her back? If you think she's good, then hurry up and set the wedding date. Hurry up; you might still catch the 39 train, otherwise, you'll really be 40."

Jiang Yuanliang laughed helplessly: "Dad, I'm only two months away from 40. Even if I hurry, it won't be that fast!"

"Is this fast? You've dragged this for forty years. If I knew you were so difficult, I should have found you a suitable one and arranged a childhood marriage when you were born."

"Dad, don't be anxious first." Wen Shuyi spoke at the right time, directly bringing the topic back: "The matter is definitely a good thing. Jingjing is also a very good person, very suitable for living a life. Both Yuanmao and I believe that Yuanliang will be happy with her."

"But, there is an actual situation we must tell you clearly."

The three of them straightened their expressions simultaneously. The old man scanned the few people with his gaze and snorted lightly: "What actual situation? What situation needs to be considered when marrying into our Jiang family?"

"Just give whatever betrothal gift her family wants. Cars, houses, gold—how much is fine. I won't even blink."

"It's not these, Dad, it's..."

"Sister-in-law." Jiang Yuanliang interrupted Wen Shuyi and said proactively: "Let me tell Dad."

Wen Shuyi looked at Jiang Yuanliang, seemingly understanding his thoughts. Him saying it himself could better reflect his importance and firm determination, so she nodded lightly.

Jiang Yuanliang didn't beat around the bush either. After all, these words had to be said sooner or later, so he blurted out: "Jingjing is a few years older than me and has given birth to two children, who are now adults."

"What?!"

The old man's tone rose, his eyes widened round: "Married?"

"No, not married!" Jiang Yuanliang hurriedly explained: "She hasn't married."

"Not married and has two children?" The old man was so angry his voice went hoarse. This is even worse than being married!

"Dad, Jingjing's matter is complicated. She was very bitter when she was young and met the wrong person. The man died in an accident before the child was born. She brought up three children alone. She is a very resilient and great mother."

"Three?" The old man's tone rose again: "Didn't you just say two?"

"She also adopted an abandoned baby. This shows she is naturally kind!"

"No!" The old man slapped the table, his attitude very firm: "Absolutely not! With your conditions, let alone China, what kind of woman can't you find in the whole world? You lost your mind and found a single mother with three children, rushing to be a stepfather?"

"I'm telling you, this matter is not negotiable!"

Jiang Yuanliang didn't give up: "Dad, I'm not discussing this with you; I'm telling you that Jingjing exists. I love her very much, and I want to be with her. She is really a very good and excellent person."

"She is excellent and kind, she is whatever she is—that has nothing to do with our Jiang family." The old man's attitude was also very firm: "But she is not suitable for you. Think about your status, your position. Is it appropriate for you to marry such a woman?"

"What's inappropriate? Isn't our mutual choice the most appropriate result?"

Seeing the father and son arguing, Jiang Yuanmao and Wen Shuyi looked at each other. Signal received; they knew it was their turn to enter the stage.

Jiang Yuanmao spoke first to appease his father: "Dad, don't be so angry. For so many years, Yuanliang has never proactively mentioned any opposite sex to you so formally. He can do this today, which is also a kind of progress, right?"

"Progress my ass!" The old man was so angry he swore: "He went a bit too far with this step. Where did this step take me?"

"Dad." Wen Shuyi followed closely: "I was also very shocked when I knew these things at first, so I specifically went to understand this Shen Jingjing deeply. She is really a very good person. Then you say, the person is good, and Yuanliang likes her sincerely, then isn't that enough? I think other things are not important. After all, being able to be with the person you like is the most important thing. After all, it's Yuanliang and her living their lives in the future."

"Then you look at those you arranged for Yuanliang before—the conditions were also not bad, but Yuanliang didn't like them. Isn't that a forced melon? It's okay to play-act for a while, but can he spend the rest of his life with someone he doesn't like?"

"Oh, Shuyi!" The old man couldn't bear to get angry at Wen Shuyi, but he also had some complaints about her: "Whose side are you on? You three... this... prohibit abuse of the elderly!"

"Of course I'm on your side. I'm also saying these things from your perspective." Wen Shuyi took the opportunity to go up: "Then you look at how you hoped Yuanliang would get married early before, but he didn't get married for a long time because he couldn't meet someone who was both suitable and liked. Now he has met one, and you oppose it. If you pull back and forth for a few more years, Yuanliang will be an old man."

"Furthermore, Yuanliang only met such a woman who made him want to get married after forty years. If you cut it off, aren't you afraid of waiting another forty years for the next one? Wait until he is eighty to get married?"
