Chapter 625: Chapter 625: The Reluctance of Lin Family’s Parents

Yue Jiannan arrived a few days before the wedding, carrying the customary gifts of four types of delicacies and tobacco and liquor.

Out of gratitude for "saving a life," Lin Pengyi was much warmer this time.

But there was an obvious sense of helplessness in his demeanor, as though everything was settled and it was too late to turn back.

"She’s my only daughter, and I’m entrusting her to you now," Lin Pengyi said, quite drunk.

Miao Cui watched on the side, constantly worried her husband would blurt out something inappropriate in his drunken state.

Just a couple of nights before, she had seen the normally imposing Director Lin secretly crying into the corner of the quilt.

When caught, he insisted the tears were from being too tired, endlessly questioning her.

"How did our little girl grow up so fast to get married? How did the days fly by like this?" he asked.

Fortunately, Lin Pengyi kept his composure today and only held Yue Jiannan’s hand, seeking a promise.

"Yushan has always been well-behaved. I’ve never had the heart to lay a finger on her. If there’s any matter, you young couple must discuss it. It’s inevitable to have disagreements, but never let it lead to raising hands in anger," he said.

Yue Jiannan, too drunk himself, nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Uncle, you can rest assured; in our family, we have never had the habit of hitting the wife. My mother always said she has no respect for a man who raises his hand against his wife. Pretentious outside and trying to act tough at home—those men are good-for-nothing cowards," he promised.

"Good, good!" Lin Pengyi patted Yue Jiannan’s hand. "I believe in you. You two take care of each other and live well."

Lin Yushan, seeing her father like this, felt some distress as her mother pulled her aside.

"They’re both drunk, let’s mother and daughter have a quiet talk," she said.

Miao Cui gazed at her daughter, as if she saw once again the lovely and well-behaved little girl she was in childhood.

Just like what Old Lin said, in the blink of an eye, she was all grown up.

"Yushan, being married isn’t like living at home. You go from being your parents’ daughter to someone’s wife, and many times, you can’t just do as you please," she advised.

"Mom, I understand," Yushan responded.

"Jiannan is a good man. I can see you’re always smiling when you’re with him. The most important thing is not to choose a man who makes you cry, but one who makes you laugh," she said.

"Your mother-in-law is wise too. I think when you live in the provincial city, she won’t interfere too much with the life of you two youngsters," Miao Cui reassured.

Miao Cui was most worried about her daughter marrying into a family with a domineering mother-in-law.

Yushan had grown up under their protection, and an imposing figure might just torment her.

Initially, when they heard Yue Jiannan was the youngest son of the Yue Family and born after his father had passed away, they had their concerns.

Fearing that the boy had been overindulged by his widowed mother, and wouldn’t even pick up a dropped soy sauce bottle.

Fortunately, after a few meetings between the families, Miao Cui felt confident, knowing the in-laws were reasonable.

"Still, even though we’re far apart, you should call your mother-in-law regularly, let her know everything is fine so she doesn’t worry—your dad and I are not concerned," she continued.

Lin Yushan could no longer hold back and burst into tears, throwing herself into her mother’s arms.

"Mom, stop talking," she sobbed. Even though Yue Jiannan was the man she had chosen, she couldn’t help feeling an intense sense of reluctance.

These days, the words for marrying still carried a clear meaning, as if a married daughter became part of another family.

Seeing her mother with tears in her eyes, Lin Yushan sobbed softly, "I won’t get married; I’ll just stay here with you."

Miao Cui gave her daughter a light flick on the nose, "Silly child, always talking nonsense! Xiaoyue is a good man, and if you have found someone true to your heart, mother is relieved. Otherwise, you might end up an old maid," she said.

Reluctantly agreeing, the wedding was inevitably to proceed.

Because the Yue Family originated from Daye Village, it was decided after discussing with the in-laws to have two ceremonies.

The main event, of course, would be in Zhuancheng, while in Daye Village it would mostly just be a banquet to announce that Yue the Third had found a wife.

Lin Pengyi and his wife readily agreed, as it showed the importance they placed on their daughter.

Before the wedding, Yue Jiannan, keeping up with the times, suggested that he and Lin Yushan visit a photo studio to take Western-style wedding photos.

Lin Pengyi initially wanted to sternly criticize this "Western capitalist import," but seeing his daughter’s beaming smile, he ultimately couldn’t say it.

After all, which parents who love their daughter don’t wish for her to have a perfect wedding?
