Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 197 The strong melon is not sweet

Madam Pei's determination can be seen from the tray she kicked away today.

Ruyi sighed again. This mother is really hard to understand. When she was strong, she dared to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire. She even dared to cut her own hair for her marriage.

Sometimes, she was so weak that she couldn't bear a harsh word. If her grandmother said something harsh, she would hide in her room and cry for a long time, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Sometimes, she was confident that she was always right and was as stubborn as a cow in her decision. She would not turn back until she hit the wall. No matter how others persuaded her, she would not change her mind.

But what can I do? I still have to persuade her, otherwise after I leave, no one will persuade her anymore.

"Mother, think about it. Even if grandparents and father agree to this marriage, what can you do if brother Jin disagrees? Are you really going to force him to have a wedding? You know brother Jin's character. His stubbornness is very similar to yours. If you insist on letting him marry cousin Qingge, I dare say you won't be able to find him on the wedding day."

Mrs. Han thought about how her family had invited girls from other families to visit several times but Rong Jin never showed up, and she couldn't help but sigh.

"But what about Qingge? Your uncle and aunt have met several men in the past six months, but none of them suited them. If Qingge delays any longer, she will really become an old maid." Madam Han said in embarrassment.

Ruyi was a little angry. So you insisted on giving your cousin Qingge to your son because no one wanted her. Are you picking up junk that others don't want for your son?

"Actually, mother, I think it's good that this marriage doesn't go through, especially for cousin Qingge." Seeing Madam Han's face darken, Ruyi patted her hands and continued, "You see, brother Jin doesn't like her. I told her directly and clearly before, and grandmother also rejected her bluntly today. Although it made her a little embarrassed for a while, in the final analysis, she didn't want to delay her.

If grandmother had not rejected the marriage, you could have planned whatever you wanted and let brother Jin marry my cousin home. After the marriage, grandmother arbitrarily tortured cousin Qingge, asking her to go to Songhe Hall every day to set rules, serve tea and water, massage her waist and back, and even nitpick and make up stories. What can you say?

Just because she didn't torture you at the beginning doesn't mean she won't torture cousin Qingge. If you have any objections, she will call both of you to Songheyuan to set rules. What can you do? If your cousin is uncomfortable, won't you be uncomfortable? Grandmother is in good health. It won't be a problem for her to live another ten or twenty years.

Also, if grandmother had not refused today and the marriage was arranged, but Brother Jin did not like her, in order not to displease you, he would have married her casually. However, after the marriage, he would have given Cousin Qingge a cold look every day, spoken coldly to her, and gone out to find someone new and beautiful every day, or found himself seventeen or eighteen concubines to deliberately irritate Cousin Qingge.

Let your cousin stay alone in an empty room every day, when she is in tears every day, and there is chaos in the backyard, wouldn't you feel even more uncomfortable? You have a way to let Brother Jin and cousin Qingge get married, but how can you make them love each other and live in harmony?

If Brother Jin was more ruthless, he might divorce his wife and remarry, or directly send his cousin to a farm, or even to the family temple, and leave her to fend for herself without caring about her. That would really be harming his cousin.

Would you be happy if your cousin is almost dead? Wouldn't it be better to reject this marriage right now and let your cousin Qingge find a husband who truly loves her?"

Madam Han was startled and stunned. She didn't think so much about it. She just thought that Qingge had been looking for a date for a long time but still had no luck. She was of the right age for her son, and Qingge really liked Jin'er. They both knew each other well, so it would be a good match.

Besides, there is me. If I just watch over her, I won't torture my daughter-in-law, and Qingge won't have a hard time. But are these things that Ruyi said really true? Seeing that Madam Han still had a hesitant expression, Ruyi felt a little tired.

"Mother, there is a saying that a forced melon is not sweet. You should stop being obsessed with this marriage. Marriage is to bring two families together, not to cause enmity between them. Although my grandfather and my maternal grandfather became in-laws, they never sat at the same table to drink. Do you think my grandfather and my maternal grandfather feel good? Do you feel good? Does my father feel good? None of them feel good.

The current situation is even worse than your situation back then. You and your father truly love each other, but your brother Jin doesn't like your cousin Qingge. If you still insist on this marriage, the result will be worse than your grandfather's and your grandfather's. Your grandparents will dislike you, your brother Jin will be divorced from you, and your uncle and aunt will blame you for not taking good care of your cousin. How will you live then?

Although father is devoted to you, he cannot say anything when grandmother wants to criticize you. If brother Jin is divorced from you and only treats you with superficial respect but does not truly care for you, your life will be very difficult.

Plus, you are weak, and your daughters are all married and can't take care of you. Then you really won't have much hope for your life in the mansion." Ruyi said with a dry mouth, feeling that she could be Madam Han's mother.

"Moreover, do you really think that the reason why my aunt wants to marry my cousin Qingge to me is because she is attracted to my brother Jin? Or is it because she is attracted to the family background of the Marquis' Mansion? If we were not a Marquis' Mansion, but just an ordinary family, do you think my aunt would be attracted to my brother Jin? Even if my brother Jin is handsome, I can guarantee that my aunt would not like him.

If there is a man from an official family with a better family background than ours who falls in love with cousin Qingge, do you think your uncle and aunt will marry him immediately? I can guarantee that your uncle and aunt will not hesitate for a second.

"Mom, are you willing to let your own son be treated so picky? Are you willing to let your son be someone else's second choice? Don't you feel sorry for your own son?" Seeing that Mrs. Han's expression was somewhat relaxed, Ruyi advised.

"So, mother, don't worry about this marriage anymore. It's best to let nature take its course. If brother Jin and cousin Qingge are meant to be together, you don't need to make any effort. When the time comes, they will naturally be together. If brother Jin and cousin Qingge are not meant to be together, you won't be able to bring them together even if you try your best."
