Chapter 56 Lu's Tears
Just as the battle on Shen Minghui's side was in full swing, Lin Yuxi also ended the banquet and returned home.
"How is it? How is it? Is there anyone you like?" Lu, who had been anxiously waiting at home for a few days, saw them coming back and hurried to greet them. Without waiting for them to rest, he couldn't wait to ask them.
"I haven't made any progress on my side, but I wonder how my brother is doing?" Lin Yuxi stepped forward, took Lu's arm, and spoke with a smile.
Lu felt disappointed for a while, but then she became happy. It was a matter of chance after all. It was already very good to have a Bukonglou. She hurriedly asked, "Did Chenger like her? Which girl is she? When did you propose to her?"
Lin Yucheng blushed, "Mom, this destiny hasn't even started yet." Lin Yucheng scratched the back of his head.
Mrs. Lu poked his forehead in dissatisfaction, "Why are you still shy, kid? Is there anything you can't tell your mother?"
Lin Yuxi was giggling on the side. She didn't expect her brother, who looked steady and rough on weekdays, to be so pure and delicate in terms of emotions.
"Okay, mom, my brother is embarrassed. He is embarrassed to tell you. It's okay. Let me tell you, I have been involved in the acquaintance of my brother and his future sister-in-law!" Lin Yuxi spoke up to help Lin Yucheng out.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu stopped questioning her son and quickly took her daughter to inquire.
After finding out who she was and how they met, Lu sighed, "This girl is pitiful!" She looked at Lin Yucheng seriously and said, "Cheng'er, what do you think? If you really like her, you should treat her well! If not, then don't provoke her!"
"Mom," Lin Yucheng took a deep breath and said seriously, "Yes, I've chosen her! Please help me, Mom and Dad!"
"Okay, I got it!" Mrs. Lu patted her son's hand and nodded with satisfaction. She turned to look at her daughter and felt a headache again, "Xi'er, there are so many talented people at the Teachers' Meeting, don't you have any favorites?"
Lin Yuxi blinked, looked at her mother's expectant expression, and turned her head uncomfortably, "Mom, you also said that the teachers' meeting is full of young talents, and they are all waiting to marry daughters of famous families after high school. In my situation, wouldn't it be boring for me to marry there?"
The light of hope in Lu's eyes was shattered, and his whole body showed a sense of decadence.
Alas, this situation is neither high nor low, what can I do?
"Madam, don't be anxious. You must know that there will always be a way out when you reach the mountain..." Lin Wenjian just cried out, "Oh no!" Sure enough, a loud shout was heard in the hall.
"What road? My daughter's marriage is imminent and you are still here making sarcastic remarks!" Mrs. Lu glared at him.
Lin Wenjian was scolded by his wife in front of the children, but he didn't get angry. He just said, "I'm just trying to comfort you."
"What's the point of you comforting me? We have to find a way to solve this problem!" Mrs. Lu said, and she even shed tears. "What will I do if Xi'er's marriage is delayed any further?"
"Madam, please don't be anxious." Seeing that his wife was really anxious, Lin Wenjian quickly signaled Lin Yuxi to help persuade her.
"Oh, mother, why are you crying? I'm not too old to get married! Aren't you exaggerating?"
Lin Yuxi was also troubled by Lu's sudden tears. It is normal for modern people to get married in their thirties or forties, but why is it that in ancient times, if you were not married at the age of 14 or 5, it was considered a big mistake!
"Mom, don't worry. I have my own plans for my daughter's marriage." Lin Yuxi comforted her, "Besides, getting married is not like buying groceries. It's not that easy."
After hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Lu stopped crying a little, but she was still worried.
"But, my daughter, don't delay too long. A girl's youth cannot be wasted," said Mrs. Lu.
"I know, Mom." Lin Yuxi replied helplessly.
At this time, Lin Yucheng said: "Sister, you are right. Marriage cannot be rushed. And sister is so outstanding, she will definitely find a suitable husband."
Lin Wen Zhang also agreed, "Yes, Madam, let's just let nature take its course. Who knows, our destiny may come someday."
But the lady doesn’t seem to be in a good mood. I guess I need to ask a doctor to come and see her tomorrow!
Seeing this, Mrs. Lu nodded and said nothing more. The family chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Lin Yuxi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Thinking about Lu's tears and the fate of her original body, she couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
She knew that in this era, the fate of women mostly depended on men, just like a vine depends on a tree.
They cannot freely choose their own path, nor can they freely pursue their dreams. Their lives are often spent in waiting and dependence, waiting for the man who can bring them happiness, and relying on the man who can provide them with shelter.
Although she has Shen Minghui, her life is better than most women of this era, but it is far from enough. Maybe she should do something!
