A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 384 Fear of Marriage
The relationship between the eldest sister and Li's mother has been somewhat cold for the past six months.

Mother and daughter have been quarreling over the marriage issue from last year to this year.

When the quarrel was at its worst, she even said something like severing the relationship between mother and daughter in anger. '

Between relatives, hurtful words are like a sharp knife without a handle, which can hurt both the other person and yourself.

Since then, the two have started a cold war.

Even if they are in the same room, the two of them rarely talk.

Although the eldest sister wanted to reconcile several times during this period, her stubborn temper gradually grew when faced with Li's mother's indifferent attitude every time.

If you don't speak, don't speak. Let's see who can beat the other.

When Qiu Fanghua saw her sister-in-law coming back from get off work, she didn't get up from her chair. She just smiled and said, "It's quite early for me to come back today."

The eldest sister took out a bag of apples from her bag, picked one in good condition, washed it with water and handed it to her sister-in-law.

If she hadn't always had a good relationship with Li's mother and her eldest sister, she would never have stood up to get involved in this troubled situation.

Qiu Fanghua kept her thoughts to herself and continued to her eldest sister: "Weicheng has been much busier than before since he became the director. After all, your brother and I haven't seen anyone else for a while. Now, when he is free one day, you can bring him to your house for a meal."

My sister-in-law's behavior was purely to vent her anger on Mother Li.

It will be time to have dinner in a while, and it is not appropriate to fill your stomach with fruits at this time.

She explained to her sister-in-law: "I originally made an appointment with Weicheng to watch a movie in the evening, but unexpectedly something happened to him there, so I have no choice but to come back."

The eldest sister showed a helpless expression towards Qiu Fanghua, who looked worried.

Qiu Fanghua took the apple but didn't eat it, just played with it in her hands.

"Mom, eldest sister, our family doesn't have an overnight feud. If we have anything to do, we can discuss it carefully. Why do we have to make such a fuss?" Qiu Fanghua acted like a peacemaker.

"Heh, it's happening again. You're always like this. Isn't it funny?" The eldest sister sneered and asked at Mother Li's back.

Qiu Fanghua could only sigh in her heart, not knowing how long the mother-daughter fight would last.

"Okay, it's just that the time can't be fixed for a while. He's so busy now that he's so busy that things that have been decided don't come, not just once or twice." The eldest sister replied with a smile.

thump~
Before Qiu Fanghua could return, the sound of Mother Li throwing a basin interrupted the conversation between the aunt and sister-in-law.

Seeing that Li's mother was just like before, she ignored her words.

But in a direction invisible to the two of them, Mother Li's eyes were burning with angry flames.

Those actions with a certain attitude, a discerning person will know at a glance that they are not unintentional.

Mother Li carried her on her back and kept working, as if she didn't hear what her eldest sister said.

"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid you may have misunderstood, but it's not that I don't want to discuss it carefully. It's obvious that our old mother doesn't want to pay attention to me." The eldest sister said sarcastically.

Mother Li threw the spatula in her hand on the countertop and turned around to look at her eldest sister fiercely.

"Discuss with you? Do you understand what we discussed? Didn't we discuss too much before? When can I tell you the truth?" "Neither of us is unreasonable. Could it be that your reason is reason and mine is not reason?" , How many times do you want me to say that you are just postponing the wedding, but it is not that we will not get married. Why are you so committed to me?" Facing her mother's repeated questions, the eldest sister wanted to be patient and have a good conversation, but her tone A lot of the anger inside still leaked out.

"Whose girl is so similar to you? After three years of dating, what do you want me to do when someone asks me? You are not afraid of being ugly, but I still want to lose face." Mother Li said while slapping her face vigorously.

"What's wrong with the fact that we've been dating for three years? We're talking openly and openly, not secretly. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Then my brother and my sister-in-law have been dating for another three or four years. Why weren't you afraid to talk about it then? You favor boys over girls. You shouldn't be like this." The eldest sister thinks her mother is simply the epitome of unreasonableness.

Qiu Fanghua, who was pulled out as an example, looked a little embarrassed.

Originally, she could use herself and her lover as an example to help her sister-in-law.

But the patriarchal words added by her sister-in-law later made it difficult for her to say anything more.

"Can you and your brother and sister-in-law be in the same situation? Your sister-in-law was in college at the time. You two have been working for many years. You just want to talk to outsiders about being busy at work. You think everyone outside is a fool. A policeman and a nurse can't spare a day for marriage in three years." Mother Li's chest hurt due to her daughter's strong words.

"The only thing you remember is that you are busy with work. Then I also said that I need to make progress. Why don't you remember that we have both reached a critical period of career development. It will be fine if we stay a little longer. You can't wait any longer. ." As the eldest sister spoke, she gasped with excitement.

"Li Xia, you have no conscience in what you say. Last year, you said that Weicheng was busy with promotion, so he should focus on his career first, and the marriage should be slowed down. As a mother, do I want to talk nonsense to you two? Okay, After he was promoted, you told me that you wanted to compete for the head nurse and that the marriage had to be postponed. At that time, I didn't say a word and just waited until the result of your competition came out. If it didn't work out, then I thought. It's time to get married now. You'd better tell me something. If you still want to fight again, I'll ask you, what does marriage hinder you from fighting for? I see that in the hospital Aren’t all head nurses married and married? How can they marry someone else, but you can’t?”

Mother Li put one hand on her hips and pointed at her eldest sister with the other, angrily expressing her incomprehension.

The eldest sister was at a loss for words when she was asked. It wasn't that she had nothing to say, but she didn't know how to say it.

Even if she expressed the unwillingness and fear in her heart, she felt that she would not be understood by Mother Li.

The profession of nurse is the result of her concession.

But she didn't want to stop there. She never gave up the idea of ​​becoming a doctor.

It is too difficult to become a doctor. Even though she is now a member of the medical system, she is still far away from her dream.

Only if she works harder than before can she get a chance.

Yes, everyone says that marriage and pursuing a career can coexist.

But as a client, she was not confident that she could balance it well.

An outstanding and intellectual young man like her sister-in-law, even with her elder brother's deliberate support, still focused on her own small family after marriage.

After getting married, her eldest sister rarely heard her mention the ambitious words she had made in front of her in the past.

The eldest sister felt confused. People around her were pushing her towards one avenue, but she was curious about another path.

She stood at the fork in the road, hesitating and wavering.

"It's okay, go forward boldly and go wherever you want. With me supporting you, what are you afraid of?" Gao Weicheng encouraged his target.

When it was time to get off work, Gao Weicheng, who rarely showed up on time, came to pick up his eldest sister from get off work.

Along the way, he held his eldest sister's hand and never let go.

Even when he faced the various looks from passers-by, he didn't take it seriously.
