"Canât you wait at home?" At the Yang Familyâs house, Yang Dachuan looked at Ms.Wang with a speechless expression.
"Oh, you, just step aside. I canât believe these two kids didnât come over sooner, living so close by."
Yang Dachuan remained silent, "Weâre so close by, if youâre really worried, why donât you go over and check on them? Are all these customs still important in our family?"
Ms.Wang glared at him, "What do you know? What happened in the past is in the past, now is now. Once the two kids get married, they have to live their own lives. Even if I love Brother An so much, heâs still a Ye by surname. My daughter marries there and becomes a member of the Ye Family. We are now two separate families, and even if Iâm worried, I canât just go over casually. Otherwise, wouldnât I be telling Brother An and the Ye Family that we think they canât take good care of our daughter?"
"What are you worried about? You know what kind of kid Brother An is, he wonât be bad to our daughter."
But Ms.Wang said again, "You just donât understand. Iâm not only worried about my daughter, but also about Brother An. Weâve been living together for so many years. Both kids have grown up under my care. Now that theyâre living on their own, I donât know how theyâre eating. Whoâs cooking? Can they get used to it? And are the people at home taking good care of them?"
The more Ms.Wang spoke, the more worried she became. Then she continued staring at the doorway, not bothering with Yang Dachuan.
Not until Yang Chuxia and Ye Ziâan came together.
"Mom, we havenât seen each other for just a few days, right?"
Ms.Wang didnât respond to her but pulled her over to take a careful look, and after that, she looked at Brother An, making both of them sweaty.
"Mom, what are you looking at?" Yang Chuxia asked again.
Ms.Wang finally said, "Just, your mother being worried, seeing you two living on your own."
"Huh?" Yang Chuxia hugged Ms.Wangâs arm and laughed, "What do you have to worry about? If youâre worried, why donât you go see me? Forget about those customs. An and I have already broken all those customs."
But as soon as Yang Chuxia finished speaking, Ms.Wang glared at her, "Why are you still calling him Brother An? You should call him your husband, thatâs respect."
"Really, mom?" Yang Chuxia widened her eyes, "Then why donât you call my dad?"
"What do you know? Your dad and I are already old."
Yang Chuxia pursed her lips, no matter how much she reminded herself, changing her words would be difficult.
As they entered the door, Yang Chuxia and Ye Ziâan both kowtowed and served tea to Old Yang and Yang Dachuan and Ms.Wang. Afterwards, each elder gave the couple a purse.
"Mom, arenât my aunt and the others coming later?" Yang Chuxia thought that when a married woman returns to her parentsâ home, her relatives should join them for dinner, get introduced to each other and follow the procedure.
Ms.Wang said, "They should be coming later, Iâve already sent someone to call them."
"Oh"
After a while, when Ms.Wang and Yang Chuxia had finished their private conversation, Yang Daâanâs family came over first. However, the family of Land Officer Yang hadnât come yet. Just as Ms.Wang was about to send someone to ask them again, Ms.Luo arrived first.
As soon as she entered, she cried out, "Something terrible has happened!"
"What terrible thing happened?" Yang Chuxia came out of the room and said, "Why are you yelling?"
As soon as Ms.Luo saw her, she pulled her over and said, "Xiaxia, fortunately youâre lucky, thankfully you and Brother An got married. If it were any later, it would have been a disaster." Then she clicked her tongue and said, "Actually, it might not have been a disaster. With Xiaxiaâs beauty, it might not have been a bad thing."
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia roughly understood what was going on, but how could it be so early?
