749 The Farmer's Old Lady X The Old Bachelor's Neighbor (Thirty-six)
Of course, when there is a "mother-in-law", they are not worried about this because if their husband dares to do something outside, the "mother-in-law" will definitely break their legs.
They never doubt this.
To put it more exaggeratedly, "Mother-in-law" is equivalent to the "Dinghai Shen Needle" of the Xin family. It is all the credit of "Mother-in-law" that the Xin family can be so harmonious now.
Therefore, for their daughter-in-law, it will definitely do more harm than good for their daughter-in-law, so they don’t want their mother-in-law to remarry.
If the matchmaker came to Lingjiu to propose marriage to her, which only made the Xin family frightened and rejected her, then after learning that the person who wanted to marry their "mother-in-law" was their neighbor, "Uncle Yongnian", could not help but think more.
For example: I wonder if they (Aryu and Ary Xiujin) had a crush on their own, but they only dared to think about this kind of rebellious thought in their hearts.
What they thought more was when Uncle Yongnian (Ling Xiujin) had such thoughts about their "mother/mother-in-law"?
Is it after the death of 'Daddy/Father-in-law' or before?
Among them, the ones who responded the most were the boss Xin Changping and the fourth brother Xin Changle.
Xin Changping is a bit pedantic and always has a bad temper. Although under the "training" of Yanjiu, he is no longer as impulsive as before.
But when he learned that the person who wanted to marry his mother was actually their old neighbor, he was a little annoyed. He was impulsive and wanted to ask Ling Xiujin for an explanation.
However, he was stopped by Yanjiu and said angrily: "Do you want to make this happen to everyone?"
If Ling Xiujin is not from their village, Ling Jiu may not be so worried. After all, with the current conditions of their Xin family, it is normal for someone to make her decision.
But Ling Xiujin is from their village and is also a well-known old bachelor in the village. If this incident is spread, it might be said so badly.
Yanjiuke didn't want to be the one who talked about after dinner, and she didn't want to go out and be pointed at by others.
"My...mom, my son is just so angry..." Xin Changping calmed down when he heard this, but he still felt a little angry.
"How could you be angry?" Yan Jiu asked back.
Although Lingjiu was a little surprised that Lingxiujin had someone to come to propose marriage, she refused the other party's proposal, but she was not angry with him.
After all, they were asking for marriage openly and did not maliciously harass her or corrupt her reputation, so Yanjiu was not disgusted with his actions.
"Mom, aren't you angry? It's too much for him to think about you." Xin Changping said with gritted teeth.
"Why am I angry? And didn't I refuse his proposal? What are you angry about?" Lingjiu looked puzzled, as if she couldn't understand his thoughts.
Lingjiu is not from this era and doesn't care much about this kind of thing. Anyway, she has refused to propose marriage to Fang, so there is no need to hold on to this matter anymore.
However, it will be a bit embarrassing to meet in the future.
"That's what I said, but..." Xin Changping was speechless when he heard this, wanted to refute but didn't know what to say.
He could not say that he suspected that their old neighbor had long thoughts about her that he shouldn't have, so he would never marry a wife, right?
"But what?" Seeing this, Lingjiu's doubts in her eyes became even more serious, and she didn't understand what he was struggling with.
"Nothing..." Xin Changping was so exhausted by her question that he simply changed the subject: "Mom, I want to know what you think?"
"What do you think?" Ling Jiu frowned slightly when she heard this. Why did this kid ask some inexplicable words today?
"That's...that..." Xin Changping hesitated and couldn't say anything for a long time. The main reason was that this topic was too embarrassing.
Although he did not want his mother to remarry, it would rain and his mother wanted to get married. If his mother insisted on remarrying, there would be no reason for them to stop him.
"If you have something, just say it. What are you doing so hesitantly?" Ling Jiu frowned even more violently, and her tone became a little more impatient.
Outside the door, Xin Changan listened to the conversation between the two and knew what his elder brother wanted to ask. In fact, he also wanted to know this question.
However, such a question is indeed difficult to ask.
Xin Changping hesitated for a while and asked this question. After hearing this, Lingjiu didn't know what she should think.
Although Lingjiu has no idea of remarrying at the moment, Xin Changping's attitude towards this matter still makes Lingjiu feel a little unhappy.
The reason why Xin Changping didn't want her to remarry was not because she couldn't bear to part with her mother, but because she felt that if she remarried, she would be sorry for her father.
And I feel that it is very embarrassing to remarry her as old as she is, even if she has a grandson.
Of course, Xin Changping didn't dare to speak too straightforwardly, but Ling Jiu was not stupid, so he naturally heard the implicit sound in his words.
Lingjiu couldn't stand his pedantic thinking. Her original husband had been dead for several years, and even if she wanted to remarry, it was her freedom.
What made Lingjiu the most unhappy was that the reason why Xin Changping, a cheap son, thinks so was simply because he looked down on women.
I think women should regard their husbands as the most, as if women are born to be inferior to men, although... this is the thought of most people in this era.
But Lingjiu still felt a little uncomfortable. The reason why she had such family rules was to change the minds of a few cheap sons and a few cheap daughters-in-law.
She didn't want the next generation to continue to be poisoned by this feudal idea, so she wanted to change this problem from the root and devoted a lot of energy to it.
But Xin Changping, a cheap son, is so good. After her training, she still has such a pedantic thought. How can Lingjiu not be angry?
Lingjiu is not a person who can swallow his anger. She feels bad now and speaks a little rudely: "Boss, this is what I usually teach you?"
"Mom?" Xin Changping was a little confused by Ling Jiu's cold eyes, and his body couldn't help but shrank.
Although his mother has a much better temper now and rarely loses her temper on weekdays, Xin Changping dares not provoke her majesty.
Seeing Lingjiu getting angry at this moment, she felt so panicked that she didn't understand why his mother suddenly got angry. Did he say something wrong?
"Ha! I don't know that your thoughts are so pedantic, I just don't know what to say." Seeing this, Lingjiu snorted coldly at him before saying lightly.
"Do you think a woman should die and she should not remarry if her husband dies?"
"Mom, I... my son doesn't mean this." Xin Changping couldn't help but feel even more panicked when he heard her ask, and he stuttered a little.
"And... Mom, didn't you say you didn't plan to remarry?" Xin Changping said softer and softer. Seeing that Lingjiu's eyes seemed to be colder, he quickly closed his mouth.
However, I still felt a little wronged. Could it be that the words that Mother said before were lying to them, and refusing Uncle Yongnian's proposal to marry was just a delaying strategy?
