Chapter 392: Teaching Experience

Mrs. Yang didnt necessarily agree with Qin Sanlongs approach, but she was unwilling to compel her son to choose a girl he didnt genuinely like.
Later on, Qin Sanlong enlisted Qin Zhenzhens help to persuade his parents. She chimed in, saying, Third Brother is still quite young. Let him enjoy his life without any burdens. Maybe hes already found his soulmate. Finding ones own spouse is quite common in the modern era, even if it appears unconventional in ancient times. In the past, most individuals, both men and women, had little say in their marriages, and that was a source of sorrow for many.
Out of empathy for her third brother, Qin Zhenzhen decided to support his choice.
Mrs. Yang and Qin Shan chose not to pressure Qin Sanlong any further, but the fact that even Fourth Brother was now engaged left them concerned about how he might be perceived.
Qin Sanlong understood his mothers worries, but he remained patient. Mrs. Yang reminded him once again, If you continue to be so selective, youll be married when youre married, but dont you feel ashamed for not settling down sooner?
Qin Sanlong smiled and proposed a compromise, Well, even though Fourth Brother is engaged, he wont be returning to marry for another two years. So, technically, I still have two years. If, by that time, I havent found someone I feel destined to be with, Ill heed my parents wishes, okay?
Mrs. Yang shook her head firmly. No! This time, her stance was resolute.
Your father and I have had a thorough discussion about this, and we cant postpone it any further! Mrs. Yang declared with determination. Youve even written down your requirements on paper: appearance, family background, personality, and age. Ill take these requests to the matchmaker, and youll find a suitable match more quickly that way.
Qin Sanlong was caught between laughter and frustration. Mother, Ive repeatedly emphasized that my requirements are truly not extravagant! I havent asked for youth or beauty, social status, or a specific personality. I simply want a good rapport and compatibility. I cant put that into a request!
Mrs. Yangs frustration flared, and she reached for a feather duster as if to strike him. How dare you claim your expectations arent high?
Quickly seeking refuge behind his older brother, Qin Sanlong implored,
Mother, please dont act rashly. Its not right to resort to violence.
Mrs. Yang hadnt genuinely intended to harm her son, so she halted, pointing the feather duster at Qin Sanlong while continuing her scolding.
Youve met no less than ten young ladies before, and not one of them has met your standards! Are you sure youre not just making excuses? These girls are all unique in their own ways and arent unattractive. They come from well-rounded backgrounds. Why cant you find one you like? Its as if you dont wish to get married at all! Youre showing no sense of responsibility; youre afraid of shouldering the responsibilities of a husband after marriage!
She grew increasingly animated in her criticism. Youre not even considering your duty to your parents! We worry about you daily, and you dont seem to take it seriously.
Mrs. Yangs rant left Qin Sanlong momentarily stunned by the barrage of words.
He couldnt help but wonder why his mother was so insistent on this matter when he simply didnt want to rush into marriage. Qin Dalong, noticing the tense situation, intervened by pulling his third brother out from behind their mother and offering some advice.
Third Brother, he began in a calm tone, just look at how upset Mother is. Its just finding a wife. Is it really that complicated? Eldest Brother and Second Brother had to rely on our parents to arrange their marriages, but youre being so particular.
As Qin Dalong spoke, he discreetly moved his third brother aside and whispered, Dont be stubborn, Third Brother.. Just because you didnt feel an immediate attraction to a girl doesnt mean you wont be drawn to her in the future!
