âIs there such a thing? No wonder I often heard that someoneâs child is a fool. So thatâs the reason. Fortunately I didnât have any thought on this at all, otherwise, wouldnât I regret for my whole life if my child is also a fool?â
The first time to hear this, Ling Jinghan exaggeratedly patted on his own chest, completely unlisting Wang Yunya.
âHeheâ¦â
Ling Jingxuan smiled, and did not say anything more, since his second brother did not have that thought, he did not need to worry.
After breakfast, the whole big family started to be busy with their own stuff. Although the restaurant did not hasten the delivery, they still needed to make the jam in advance. If they could earn more money, why not? Even Zhang Qing went into the mountains with Ling Jingpeng. Ling Jingxuan neither went with them nor made jam in the factory like usual.
âMom, aunt, why didnât I see grandma?â
After looking around in the yard and making sure that Wang Yunya was not in his motherâs room, Ling Jingxuan casually walked in.
âItâs Jingxuan, your grandparents said that they want to see our the 80 mu of paddy field, and your father excitedly took them to go, your aunt and I think itâs too hot outside, so we stayed home to do some embroidering work while chatting.â
Seeing him come in, the two sisters who were studying embroidery put on a smile, Ling Jingxuan went to sit on the chair beside them, turned a light glance to Ling Yun aside, âclose the door and guard outside. Let us know if someone comes.â
âYes.â
Ling Yun reverently bent down, turned to walk out, Lady Wang wondered, âWhatâs going on?â
âWell, mom, I want to talk to you about Yunya.â
Not wanting to waste too much time on this issue, Ling Jingxuan watched them and got straight to the theme. The two sisters froze there. After all, they were experienced hands, and Wang Yunya has performed so obviously. Soon, they reacted what he was meaning. But Lady Wang took it like nothing at all, âOh, I thought itâs something serious. Look at you! Wearing such a solemn face! Your aunt and I were talking about this just now. Yunya is well-behaved, totally unlike her mom. If Jinghan has no objections, I also would love that.â
After all, she was her family, and it was a common thing that cousins got married, so Lady Wang didnât find it not right at all. In her tone, like she had already taken Wang Yunya as her daughter-in-law.
âElder sister, I think Jingxuan seems to have different views, letâs listen to what heâd say.â
Acutely aware of ling Jingxuanâs displeasure, Wang Jinyu could not help tipping her elder sister who was happy about. Only in a day, it was enough for her to see clearly who the master is in this family. Besides, she thought that her big nephew was quite possible to run the whole family.
âHuh? Jingxuan, you donât agree? Is it because of your second aunt-in-law yesterdayâ¦â
âMom, am I that kind of stingy person?â
Hearing that, Ling Jingxuan couldnât help rolling his eyes while directly interrupting her, after a helpless sigh, he continued, âMom, most kids of the consanguineous marriages are defective. If possible, better no marriages within five generations. Yunya and Jinghan are direct cousins. The possibility of having defective baby is as high as 80%. If you want your grandson to be a fool or has physical abnormality, find, you should feel happy.â
âReally?!â
Never expecting such a thing, the two sisters both wide opened their eyes. Ling Jingxuan nodded, âI can give you an example. Ling Chengcai. Didnât he marry the niece of the old maâam? The result is Ling Jingwei was born with dead sperms. Although Ling Jinghong and Ling Xiaoran escaped from it, maybe itâd skip the generation and pass onto their kids. And the grandson of the old maâam of the old patriarch, remember? I heard that his parents are also cousins. Look at him. There should be a lot of such examples. Mom, you can think about it and youâd find more.
After he said so, the two sisters resolutely went silent, as time went by little by little, their faces turned gloomier. Ling Jingxuan knew they already bought what he said.
âMoreover, mom, Jinghan is going to have his official career. His wife may not have to come out of those famous and rich families, but at least she should have some social abilities and know how to run a family. That is what people all said a virtuous wife. And Jingpeng too. I can tell you. Our business is just at the beginning. In the future, I will definitely expand our business through the whole Qing Kingdom, and even through the East and West Kingdom. By then, only he and Jinghan can help me. So Jingpengâs wife also canât be a soft and weak woman. Mom, they are only fourteen now. Donât rush to find them wives.â
In order to completely let her drop that idea, Ling Jingxuan spared no effort to give the final blow, and the most important thing he didnât say, that is, he wanted his two younger brothers to marry the right women, husband and wife is a lifetime thing, if without any emotional foundation, they just got married under the parentsâ arrangement, they could never be happy. Besides, he really didnât believe in his parentsâ taste.
âHmm, youâre right, it is my own wishful thinking, I was thinking about your uncles helped us a lot when we were down. Now we finally get rich and Yunya seems to like Jinghan, getting doubly related may not be a bad thing, but I really didnât think there would be so many things about cousins getting married. And you are right, Yunya is a bit too soft.â
Lady Wang nodded again and again with fear in her heart. If it werenât for his sonâs skill in medicine and knew something they didnât know, she would ruin the two kids.
âMom, I am glad that you know. Pay extra attention to Yunya. After all she is a single girl. If others see her with Jinghan, weâll have no choice but to let Jinghan marry her.
That was what he wanted to say. To cut off all her in the rear. But he was a man, so anyhow, it was a bit inconvenient, and Jingpeng and Jinghan had never gone through that kind of things, so theyâd have no idea what to do. But with his momâs assistance, there would be no problem.
âOh, I know.â
How could she not understand what her son was trying to say now?
âThen I shall not disturb you two then.â
Things were finished, Ling Jingxuan stood up decisively. Lady Wang was still thinking of Wang Yunyaâs thing, so she did not open her mouth to keep him stay. After quite a while, she grasped her sister and said with a trembling voice, âFortunately Jingxuan reminded me, otherwiseâ¦â
âElder sister, donât worry too much. Anyway, Yunye wouldnât stay for too long. Just keep an eye on her these days. Sister, I am so jealous of you. Jingxuan is good in everything, so so capable, Jingxuan is so learned, itâs only a matter of time to get listed. Jingpeng also learns a lot from Jingxuan, even my brother-in-law is not so cowardly like before. Your days are really getting better and better.â
Holding her hand, Wang Jinyu calmly changed the subject, saying with an expression of envy. Although her two sons were also filial, her widow status invaded in a lot of gossip. Besides, she was not bad looking, and only about 30 years old, so there was even more gossip.
âLook at what you said. Arenât your two sons good? Jinyu, there is something I dare not say before. But today since we come here, donât blame me for being nosy. Shouldnât you find another one?â
Decisively forgetting about the former fear, now Lady Wang felt sorry for her own younger sister. Because she barely went out of her house She looked skinny, but her skin was as white as the snow, totally unlike a women in her thirties. If she had the heart, it wouldnât be a difficult thing to find a good man.
âElder sister, I wonât hide anything before you. Before when they were little, I once held that thought, butâ¦you know a widowâs situations. Before I did anything, those gossips already nearly drowned me. I really dare not. And now the kids are big, I already donât have that heart.â
She was in her early thirties, but her tone was like a sixty years old woman, which showed how hard life was for her all those years. Lady Wang instantly reddened her eyes. She stretched out her hands to hold her, âSorry, I shouldnât have asked this. Forget about it. Next time Iâll ask Jingxuan if thereâs anything he could teach Qingzi. After he earns money, your days will also get better. And Yangzi, that kid is quite smart. After he gets listed, see if those people dare look down on you again!â
âWoowoo.. umâ¦â
Once again, she felt the warmth when she was a child. Wang Jinyu, who had insisted for many years on her own, could not help crying in her arms. Lady Wang was also sentimental and could not help shedding tears.
