Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1012: Disagreement

"Aunt Jiang, I really don’t have that kind of thought.""Jing Chu, do you not have any boy you like? Or perhaps a boy you have a good feeling about? Or a boy you could accept?"

Jing Chu shook her head; there really wasn’t. Apart from Dad and Brother, everyone else was the same, no difference.

Jiang Xinyu then realized the seriousness of the matter. Previously, she always thought this girl was still young, but now she knows that’s not the case. Girls tend to mature early, and Jing Chu should have liked a boy by now.

Jiang Xinyu was worried; what should she do?

Children have different personalities, and the methods of education also vary.

"Aunt Jiang, don’t worry about me. When I come of age, I’ll find someone honest, obedient, and good to marry."

"Really?"

"Yes, really. I don’t want you and Dad worrying about me. After all, whoever it’s with, you live a lifetime."

"Jing Chu, this way of thinking is not right. Haven’t you thought about finding someone you like? Living as a couple, what kind of spouses are they without love?"

Jing Chu looked at Jiang Xinyu in confusion; she really didn’t have that feeling, not that she didn’t want it.

"Jing Chu, living together as a couple, with love, life feels promising."

"Aunt Jiang, don’t worry, maybe it’s because I’m still young. Perhaps when I grow up, I’ll have the kind of feelings you talk about."

Jiang Xinyu felt defeated, but she would have to keep a closer eye on Jing Chu. This girl was already a sixteen-year-old young lady, and still like this? Is it really that fate hasn’t arrived, or is she naturally cold-hearted?

Daughters growing up are a troubling matter too. What if Feifei ends up like this, what then?

After the couple was intimate in the evening, Jiang Xinyu talked to Wei Kaiyun about her conversation with Jing Chu today.

"What’s up with this girl?"

"Xinyu, do you think Lv Beiguang is also someone with very bland feelings?"

Jiang Xinyu remembered his short marriage with his sister-in-law and felt Wei Kaiyun’s analysis was correct.

"But Jing Chu is a girl; a woman might tolerate a man who doesn’t love her, as long as he’s not betraying her. But how many men would remain loyal?

Having a wife who’s always cold and detached, how many men could accept that?"

"Maybe it’s just that girl’s fate hasn’t arrived.

Since Yang Zhongyi received the family’s letter, he hasn’t come by, indicating he’s not the one for Jing Chu."

"His family disagrees, right?"

"For sure, the Yang family is quite chaotic. Mr. Yang had four wives in his lifetime; Yang Zhongyi’s mother was the last wife. His family isn’t harmonious; it’s just appearances.

Yang Zhongyi can’t decide on his own marriage; that’s why Old Han warned him."

"From the looks of it, Yang Zhongyi seems like a decent person.

But Jing Chu interacted with him, and her heart didn’t even stir. Yang Zhongyi is quite a good-looking young man too, but she’s just not moved; it’s killing me."

"Alright, stop worrying. Kids have their own fortunes; why stress over it?"

"Sigh, Jing Chu is too beautiful, and this girl’s personality is so contradictory. I’m just afraid she’ll act out extreme actions."

"Okay, stop thinking about it, just think about me when you’re in bed with me."

Life the next day was as usual; today Li Yungui went with Jiushang to the cement factory to haul cement, and everything was ready, just waiting for the chicken farm to be built.

Old Yang noticed Zhao Xiaoli hadn’t changed at all, still not at ease.

"Xiao Li, let’s go to the hospital early; I’m a bit scared."

"Don’t many people give birth at home? What’s there to be scared of?"

"You saying that makes me even more uneasy. Let’s go, we’ll go to the hospital. I’ve arranged it, we can stay in a private ward, so the three of us have a place."

"I heard the hospital is quite cold."

This left Old Yang torn, what should he do?

"The doctor says I have about three days left, we can go to the hospital in two days."

In the end, Old Yang compromised; he was scared but worried his wife would suffer in the hospital.

Yang Zhongyi is currently fomenting with his family, with his mother as the main opposition. She wants him to find a wife from an equally prominent family, leading to an argument over the phone.

Mr. Yang doesn’t care; he believes it’s up to his son’s preferences, but the trophy wife thinks differently. She envies the family backgrounds of Yang Zhongyi’s three sister-in-laws.

She wants her son to outshine his siblings, so it’s normal for her to disagree.

Yang Zhongyi has issued a harsh warning: if the family doesn’t agree, he’ll remain unmarried and won’t return home.

"Old Yang, what should we do? Why is Zhongyi so fixated on marrying an ordinary girl? What’s the use, even if she’s pretty?"

Mr. Yang glanced at the newspaper in his hand, not answering his wife’s question.

She was from an ordinary family herself; if not for her looks, he wouldn’t have divorced his third wife to marry her. Yet she was still disdainful of others.

Regret has filled these past 20 years. He found such a simple-minded person, with only her looks to boast of. Luckily, Zhongyi didn’t take after her; otherwise, it’d be quite tragic.

"Old Yang, what do you say?"

"I have no opinion but hope you respect our son’s choice."

"Respecting his wishes means you agree? No way! I’ve already chosen a girl, the eldest daughter from Old Xu Family. Our families have a good relationship, watched that girl grow up. Knowing her background isn’t bad, besides, she’s also pretty."

"It’s no good if your son doesn’t fancy her either."

"I definitely won’t allow Zhongyi to marry anyone else."

Mr. Yang continued looking at the newspaper; there was no arguing with such a woman, leaving it to his son to handle. If he couldn’t settle it, then he’d heed the family’s advice.

Yang Zhongyi is very troubled right now; he misses the girl he likes but doesn’t want to hurt her. He has to get family’s approval to have the right to pursue her.

Since receiving the letter, he’s been at odds with his family, feeling terrible, unable to go see her, so things remain in a stalemate. Fortunately, the girl is still young, giving him time.

He knows his mother’s intentions, genuinely doesn’t want that; why must he compete with his brothers? Isn’t living his own life good enough?

Having him marry Xu Ying is a disaster; she pretends to be obedient and cute in front of elders but is known for her wild antics around Beijing; most people know about her, he would avoid someone like that at all costs.
