Chapter 82 mother and son are at odds again
"Chu Qi, mom is doing this for your own good. If you spend the last two or three years focusing on your career, what will happen to your life? In two or three years, you will be thirty years old, and you will be an old lady. It will be difficult for you to find the right person. Fang meizhen, the daughter of the fang family, got married at the age of 26 in the courtyard, but after five years of marriage, she got divorced because of the man. She was a university teacher at an industrial university and had a high outlook. Ordinary men and those younger than her didn't like her. Now, she can only look for divorced men. You mustn't go her way." Chu Hongmei was worried that she would end up with a man who was too old to make ends meet. It would be even worse if she had to be a stepmother to the other party's children.
"Mom, I know you're doing it for my good, but sometimes your good is not what I want. I haven't thought about marriage in these years, and I won't think about it for the rest of the time. I'm focused on my career right now. Let the rest go. We'll talk about it later."
Jiang Chuqi's face was very calm when she talked about these things. The relationship four years ago was the first one in her life. Her first love was naturally green and beautiful, and that beautiful past was naturally hidden deep in her heart.
Some of the injuries did not leave a scar, but she remembered that unforgettable pain. It was enough to experience some pain once, and she didn't want or have the courage to accept the second time. It was good to live a single life as peaceful and full as she is now.
The jiang family father and son listened to her words, their faces were extremely complex and sour, they knew that she did not want to get into a new relationship, she was such an idea they could understand, but they did not agree.
"Chu Qi, you..." Chu Hongmei looked at her daughter and felt thousands of needles stabbing her in the heart, so painful that she couldn't breathe.
Jiang Chuqi held the black-framed glasses on the bridge of her nose. She just came home today and didn't want to argue with her about it anymore. "Mom, don't talk about it anymore. I'm not in a hurry. I really don't have the energy to deal with this right now."
Chu Hongmei sighed deeply and pursed her lips. It was all her fault. If she hadn't done that at that time, her daughter wouldn't have been so resistant to emotional issues. Maybe she had even hugged her grandson.
Jiang Baichuan was a quick and straightforward man in important political matters, but he was really powerless in family matters. Jiang Chuqi was his only daughter, whom he had doted on since he was a child. Naturally, he couldn't just watch her live alone and ask a question that everyone cared about. "Chu Qi, have you been with anyone for the past four years? If you tell dad the truth, even foreigners can accept it."
"No." Jiang Chuqi only felt a headache. She was forced to get married as soon as she came back.
Jiang Baichuan remained silent for a second and continued to ask a second question, "I heard that Gao Xuan was studying in Pennsylvania. Have you contacted him in the past few years? Is there any chance?"
"No. He and I ended four years ago. Don't think about anything else." Jiang Chuqi paused and added, completely giving them up, "I heard from a classmate that he graduated a year ago and returned to the country. Now he works at the institute of physics at the academy of sciences and has a physician. He should have been married a long time ago."
When she said it, her tone was flat without any charm, as if she was telling a stranger who had nothing to do with her. As for her true feelings, she was the only one who knew.
When Chu Hongmei heard Gao Xuan's work unit, his eyes flashed and he looked up at his second son, Jiang Chuke, who was directly opposite him.
Jiang Chuke decisively avoided his mother's eyes, so he wouldn't interfere with his sister's personal affairs, not to mention that she had just said that the other party should be married, and then to inquire about other people's affairs seemed particularly unkind.
Jiang Baichuan now had a better understanding of his daughter's situation than before, but her current situation gave him a headache. As a parent, he couldn't help but worry about it. "Chu Qi, let it go. Don't keep it in your heart. Dad doesn't force you to find a partner to get married right now. It's okay to postpone it for a year. If you meet the right person during this time, you should take the test first. Don't worry too much about other external conditions of the other party. As long as you have a good character, know the cold, know the warm, and know how to take care of others."
"I see." Jiang Chuqi responded.
Seeing that his daughter was showing signs of loosening up, Chu Hongmei immediately seized the opportunity to persuade, "Chu Qi, mother knows now that you and Sun Jinglai are not suitable, and will not set you up again in the future. During this period of time, I asked the family members and your two sisters-in-law to keep an eye on the suitable young people. Some of them are really not bad. Would you like to take the time to meet them first?"
Jiang Chuqi frowned slightly and kept his mouth shut, not wanting to answer the question.
Jiang Chuheng, who had been silent for a whole night, finally couldn't stand it anymore. He took the initiative to help his sister, "Mom, can't you not talk about this today? Just now, my father has given my sister a year's time to relax. He hasn't said anything for three seconds and you can't wait to introduce someone. Do you think it's appropriate?"
"I... I was in a hurry." Chu Hongmei was indeed very anxious. Her daughter's marriage was the most important thing. She had tried her best to restrain herself during this time, but she couldn't help but think of a better arrangement as soon as she found the opportunity.
"That's not the way to rush. My sister just came back today. Do you want her to go on a blind date tomorrow, pick any one, and go to the civil affairs bureau to get married the day after tomorrow?" Jiang Chuheng's attitude was a little bad, and he was always a little resentful of his mother on this matter.
"I... Love at first sight is not without it. A few decades ago, I was very particular about the arrangement of parents. Many men and women only met once before they got married, and they had a very loving and happy life after marriage. Your father and I are pretty much like this in our marriage. We organized a social gathering, met once to confirm our relationship, met once in the middle, and got married on the third meeting. We haven't had a good time having children for decades." Chu Hongmei did not think there was anything wrong with this. He straightened his back and began to discuss it with his youngest son.
The new generation had the new generation's thoughts, and Jiang Chuheng felt that his mother's idea was no longer applicable to the current people, and his voice unconsciously raised a few points, "Mom, you're right. Most of the marriages in your era were arranged by parents. After marriage, love. Indeed, many couples came through the same path of mutual support. However, in that era, the quality of marriage was generally not high, because of the policy or face of the times, and how many unhappy couples could only live with each other for a lifetime. In the eyes of your generation, divorce is a shameful thing, and many people have to face it and suffer.
You and dad have been a model of love and happiness for the rest of your life, but there are so many unhappy marriages in the courtyard that you only see yourself, not others? You think it's a good marriage. Why do you think your sister is as lucky as you to meet a man who loves her and loves her at once? Why do you think such a marriage is suitable for her? "
"Jiang Chuheng!" Chu Hongmei was very dissatisfied with his attitude and slapped him hard on the table. "Jiang Chuheng, what's your attitude now? Your wings are hard now. You have to refute every word I say. Do you still have a mother in your eyes?"
Jiang Chuheng sat upright, his tone extremely serious: "Mom, I am wrong about things, I refute you because I do not agree with your point of view. If dad and sister-in-law had such an idea today, I would also refute it. In this new society, everyone values the freedom of marriage and love and pursues the common progress in spirit. Sister has the right to seriously choose a partner who will hold hands with her for the rest of her life, and should not let you make such a hasty decision."
"How could I have made such a hasty decision? I was just looking for someone to tie her up and get to know each other. Maybe they would like it." Chu Hongmei was very anxious about her daughter's marriage. She was afraid that Jiang Chuqi would go back to the old way of fang meizhen. "The people introduced by the family in the courtyard have good looks and personalities. They work well and have good character. I just met them. I didn't urge them to settle down immediately. Why did it become the hasty decision you said?"
Jiang Chuheng raised an eyebrow, as if he had seen through his mother's thoughts. "Sister just came back today, and you just proposed to meet her. Oh, are you going to meet her tomorrow, and you're going to urge her to make a reservation tomorrow night? Then, the morning after tomorrow, they urged them to come to their house to sit down. The night after tomorrow, they went to their house to sit down. The parents of both sides rushed to set things up on new year's eve. After the new year, there will be a wedding after the spring festival, just enough time for a year of relaxation dad said?"
"Poof!" Jiang Chuke and Jiang Chuqi laughed together, and the grim eldest brother Jiang Chuyan pulled the corners of his mouth. Both sisters-in-law pursed their mouths and tried to suppress their laughter, while Chu Xiaoman, who silently gave Brother Four a thumbs-up, buried his head as an ostrich.
"Jiang Chuheng, you bastard!" Chu Hongmei was so angry that he grabbed the pillow on the sofa and threw it at her. This brat's wings are really hard. How can he talk to her like this?
Jiang Chuheng took the pillow lightly and placed it on his knee. He continued to teach his mother, who was so angry that her eyes were red, "Mom, how can marriage be a joke? Not to mention, if you don't think about it carefully before marriage, your life will be constantly conflicted after marriage, and the two of you will be unhappy and happy. When the time comes, divorce will only embarrass the two families, and will harm the child's life. Once the divorce is over, the two adults are free, and the child has to follow the stepfather and stepmother. There are a few stepfather and stepmother who will treat the child sincerely, which is the result of the adult's own hasty decision. There are so many cases in society where you spend every day with the family members in the courtyard. I don't believe you haven't heard them say that. With so many lessons learned, why aren't you more cautious about your sister's marriage and more hasty? Is it really good for her that you're doing so well?"
Jiang Chuqi looked at his brother with a smile. This brat has really grown up. A series of theories are so smooth, and he knows so much about marriage and relationships. Is there anything new?
It seemed that she needed to find out more about it, she thought to herself.
Jiang Chuqi was happy to have his fighting brother help, but chu hongmei was unhappy. Although the younger son made sense, she did not feel that her daughter was bad. The man would definitely cherish her, so naturally there would be no such thing as a divorce.
"Your sister is beautiful, has a good physique and temperament, has a high iq and education, and our The jiang family has a good reputation. No matter what the other party is not picky about, he will naturally love your sister, and there will never be any emotional discord." Chu Hongmei was confident in this.
Jiang Chuheng sneered, "Yes, my sister's own condition is very good. It is because she is too good that people with ulterior motives can't wait to come forward. Maybe people like our The jiang family more than they like her."
Chu Hongmei: "..." That's right. That's what happened to Gao Xuan. She firmly believed that Gao Xuan was after Chu Qi because she liked the The jiang family's family background. Plus, she thought Sun Jinglai was better than gao xuan in all aspects, so she broke them up.
Mom, sister's marriage is a top priority, but I'm not in a hurry. A marriage without an emotional foundation can't last forever. You don't want your sister to take marriage as a purpose or a task to complete. Marriage is a lifelong event. She knows what kind of person is best for her. No outsider should interfere. The times are different now. Don't use your old thoughts to imprison your sister. Your excessive concern will only make her more tired and avoid this problem. Dad and I have reminded you of this many times, but every time you say yes, you actually ignore it. If you continue like this, I guarantee you will regret it in the future."
