Lin Jia and Yang Yu started arguing at the dinner table. Lin’s father and mother were relieved to see that their relationship was so good.
“So, have you guys thought about when you’re going to get married? You know, our Jia Jia is not young anymore, and if you wait any longer…” Lin’s mother asked the question she was most concerned about.
Lin Jia immediately responded with dissatisfaction, “Mom!! Are you going to keep going on and on? This is the first time he’s come to our house, and you’re already bringing this up. Besides, I haven’t even turned thirty yet, I’m not in a rush, why are you so anxious?”
Lin’s mother immediately retorted, “Look at your uncle’s Xiao Li, she’s two years younger than you, and she already has a kid who can run around.”
“Every New Year’s and holiday, our relatives ask me, ‘Your Jia Jia is getting quite old, why hasn’t she gotten married yet? Should we find someone for her?’. I’m so embarrassed, I don’t know where to put my face.” Whenever the topic of Lin Jia’s age and marriage came up, Lin’s mother would have a ton of complaints.
At this point, Yang Yu quickly stated, “Uncle and Aunt, you can rest assured, Lin Jia and I have already discussed it, we will get married within this year.”
Hearing Yang Yu’s words, Lin Jia’s parents were even more pleased with him.
Lin Jia shyly said, “Who agreed to marry you? You’re shameless.”
Lin’s mother said, “This girl is so grown up, but she’s still shy.”
“I think Xiao Yang is great, he’s responsible, much better than that guy with the surname Meng.” Lin’s mother continued.
“Mom! What are you talking about?” Lin Jia said with dissatisfaction.
She also glanced at Yang Yu.
Why bring up Meng Yun when Yang Yu is right here? Lin Jia silently complained about her mother in her heart.
Lin’s mother also realized she had said the wrong thing and her expression became a little awkward.
Yang Yu unconcernedly said, “Let the past be the past. Who hasn’t had a past?”
“Yes, Xiao Yang is right.” Lin’s mother immediately agreed.
After that, everyone happily finished their meal. Lin’s father basically didn’t say anything, almost all the talking was done by Lin’s mother.
After dinner, Lin’s mother, with a very open mind, directly allowed Yang Yu to stay in Lin Jia’s room.
After washing up, Yang Yu lay in bed, hugging Lin Jia, and his lower body began to stir.
Lin Jia rolled her eyes at him and said, “Behave yourself, if my parents hear us I’ll be too embarrassed to face them.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? I’ll be gentle, alright? Besides, your mom let us stay together, they know what’s going on.” Yang Yu said with a smile.
Lin Jia’s parents were in the next room, and the sound insulation wasn’t very good, so of course Lin Jia didn’t want to. The two argued for a while, but in the end Yang Yu had his way.
The next morning, after breakfast, Lin’s father went to the park to play chess.
Yang Yu sat on the couch, watching television as if nothing had happened.
But Lin Jia was on pins and needles. Faced with her mother’s strange looks all morning, she wished she could find a crack in the earth to hide in.
Last night, she had tried to hold back and not make any noise at first, but later she couldn’t help herself, and she even forgot she was in her own home. Her voice grew louder and louder. Not only could the people next door hear, but even the people across the hall could probably hear it.
Lin Jia could only vent her anger on Yang Yu, pinching him several times on his waist.
Lin’s mother smiled and sat next to Yang Yu: “Xiao Yang, you weren’t just trying to make your Aunt happy yesterday when you talked about your marriage, were you?”
“Of course not. If Lin Jia agrees, I have no objection to getting married right now,” Yang Yu replied.
Lin’s mother immediately said happily, “Good, I’ve been looking forward to Jia Jia getting married, I can’t wait to hold my grandchild. You young people are busy, I understand. When you have children, I’ll take care of them for you.”
“Mom! It’s like you think I’m going to be left on the shelf.” Lin Jia said with dissatisfaction.
Lin’s mother didn’t even bother with Lin Jia, she just kept looking at Yang Yu, liking him more and more.
“So, do you guys have any concrete plans? I can help you make arrangements.” Lin’s mother continued to ask.
“Aunt, how about this, you can be fully responsible for all of this. Any rules, dowry, everything, just follow your customs.” Yang Yu said.
“Jia Jia is our only daughter, as long as you two are happy together, don’t fight or argue, your Aunt will be happy. Forget about the dowry or anything, just have a simple meal with relatives and friends, you two are working hard in the big city, it’s not easy.” Lin’s mother said with understanding.
“That won’t do. We’re only getting married once in our lives, how can we be casual about it? I have to make sure Lin Jia marries me with all the pomp and ceremony.” Yang Yu said.
“Okay, then I’ll let the relatives know and we’ll meet up, just like a betrothal ceremony. Then we’ll find a good day and you two can quickly get married.” Lin’s mother said with a finality that left no room for discussion.
Lin Jia stood there dumbfounded, watching as the two of them settled their marriage in a few sentences. They didn’t even ask her, the person involved. Although she had already decided on Yang Yu, this was still too hasty.
“Hey!! Aren’t you going to ask my opinion?” Lin Jia said dissatisfied.
