Chapter 601: Pei Yuan Gets Married (1)_1
"Why would you even consider Li Baoxiang to be a suitable match?" Pei Qin looked at Lady Yu and Grandma Fang as if they had suggested her to eat shit. Since they came to speak with her about it, Old Fang probably had no other options, right?
Seeing her reaction, Lady Yu knew that Li Baoxiang was definitely not an option. With a face filled with worry, she let out a sigh and bit her lip, "That damned girl! If only she could come to her senses, work harder, not be so lazy and gluttonous, slim down a little... With our family’s condition, she could pick and choose within tens of miles!"
Grandma Fang also sighed with concern, "If we could find someone just a bit more decent, someone who’s barely acceptable, we would be fine!"
During the New Year, the two of them had even specifically prayed for Fang Fang’s marital fate at the temple, only to have Li Baoxiang show up – it made them wonder if this was all they could hope for.
Even Old Scholar Fang had no way with Fang Fang. Lady Yu and Fang Li’s discipline went in one of her ears and out the other. She would fuss if they didn’t let her eat, and when asked to do a bit of work, she’d either be unable to find help or just wouldn’t budge, pushing the task onto others. She was in no hurry about marriage, always saying that with parents and grandparents around, why should she worry? Lady Yu would cry in front of her, showing a pained expression, but as soon as she turned her head, she would let it go.
Pei Qin pondered, "Talking about marriage, we can’t just look at family status or if the person is good. The key is suitability, and whether Fang Fang would be happy. Even if he’s not the best catch and can’t compare with the better options, as long as we could find someone who truly cares for Fang Fang, even if he’s poor and not that presentable, as long as she’s happy and content, that’s enough."
Hearing this, Lady Yu’s brow slowly furrowed, "But I’m afraid those who come forward might only be after her for their benefit, and once they succeed, Fang Fang will suffer." So, she wanted to find someone from a similar family background, a young man with good character. With someone like Fang Fang, only then could she be assured that her daughter wouldn’t suffer.
"She’s never suffered, that’s why she’s living in a dream, not realizing the reality. If she really marries someone who will abandon her once they succeed, then she’ll wake up to the truth. It will be easier to find someone else then!" Pei Qin felt that the men they had seen over the New Year were quite acceptable; one couldn’t demand someone similar just because their own family was in a good position. Otherwise, Fang Fang would certainly never find a match.
