Her Cultivation Diary-Chapter 1188 - 1162. Tian Tian’s mom’s thoughts

Wu Lan was just about to ask something when the sound of a motorcycle roared down the road again.

Everyone instinctively looked up, only to see a familiar figure riding a motorcycle around the bamboo forest and soon stopping at the edge of the yard.

Wu Lan exclaimed, "Oh goodness, why is he riding without a helmet or gloves!"

The weather was freezing, and the snow on the road hadn’t melted completely. Tian Ye’s cheeks were flushed red from the wind, and his hands were even more red and swollen, stiff as ice lumps as he lowered them from the handlebars, his eyes red and puffy:

"Sis!" he shouted hoarsely, and then started coughing from the cold wind. Everyone quickly hustled him into the house, and Tian Tian, with reddened eyes, poured hot water and handed it over.

But Tian Ye didn’t take the cup of water; instead, he said anxiously, "Sis, don’t listen to Mom and Dad!"

"Whether I’m capable in the future is my own business. Live how you want, I’m not your responsibility! I’m not your burden either!" freewebnøvel_com

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat.

From these words, the contradiction doesn’t seem to be in Xiaosun’s family, does it?

Song Tan exchanged glances with Brother Xiaosun.

Brother Xiaosun was equally helpless.

He had prepared for all scenarios, the worst being that he would have a falling out with his own family. But before any fallout, it was Tian Tian who had a conflict with her family first.

It wasn’t until everyone sat down pulling and tugging that they finally figured out what was going on.

Actually, it all started with a probing remark from Brother Xiaosun’s mom: "...Our family is having a hard time too. Ziqiang now earns money but doesn’t want to support us, yet we still have a younger one to raise!"

"He’s not as clever as his brother. He does some odd jobs and gives us all the money, and now he’s about to get married..."

Actually, Brother Xiaosun had already prepared Tian Tian for such words, he even promised, "Don’t worry about what my parents say, they didn’t plan to manage me. But I promise you, you’ll definitely have everything others do! Just wait a year for me! There’ll still be plenty of work in the village next year."

Tian Tian knew how capable Sun Ziqiang was; with two hostel rooms and a small residence, could he really do without his work? And there’s so much mountain work still!

So, this young couple was going through the process with full confidence in their hearts.

Little did they expect Tian Tian’s mom to chime in: "It’s not urgent either. I know you can’t come up with much money right now, so just save gradually. Tian Tian can’t get married immediately anyway."

With that, she looked hopefully at Tian Ye: "Her brother is just in high school, with such a load of family matters depending on her, we must at least wait until Tian Ye’s job is stable."

Tian Tian’s mom was a very realistic woman, and this realism showed in her words. Now, saying this, Sun Ziqiang’s mom thought she was being subtly arrogant.

But only Tian Tian and Tian Ye widened their eyes, staying silent.

This house-warming gathering, as expected, ended in muddled confusion, though Tian Tian held the red envelope Sun Ziqiang secretly gave her, feeling utterly bewildered inside.

Her mom... what did she mean?

No, it couldn’t be. Her mom used to think the family burden was heavy and wanted her to marry quickly to avoid being dragged down by family responsibilities.

How, now that life is getting better, could she say such things?

In the car on the way back, Tian Tian’s dad cheerfully said, "Having a car is handy. Xiaoye, once you get into college, you should get a driver’s license. Dad will buy you one too— I heard this car was only twenty thousand, right?"

No one in the car answered.

Finally, Tian Ye couldn’t hold back and asked, "Mom, what did you mean by what you said today?"

"What?" His mom was momentarily confused, not even knowing which sentence he referred to, but eventually responded:

"Oh, you mean your sister and Brother Xiaosun’s wedding? There’s no rush; doesn’t he still need to save up the bride price?"

"It’s not about the bride price!" Tian Ye, who had grown up with hardship, by this age, understood much already, unlike other teenagers who might be half-understanding. He straightforwardly asked:

"Then what did you mean by saying she’ll only get married after my job becomes stable?"

"What could it mean?" His mom laughed: "Isn’t it arranged by your sister? From now on, we’ll specialize in growing strawberries. Your dad and I will lend a hand."

"You going to college will cost quite a bit. Then there’s housing and marriage in the future. Relying on the two of us old ones won’t do. Your sister is capable; she’ll just work a bit harder. Just remember her kindness after you’re married."

These words sounded so earnestly sincere, yet Tian Ye felt a chill run down his spine, the warm air blowing inside the car suddenly turning cold.

He looked at Brother Xiaosun and Tian Tian in the front seats, feeling like his teeth were chattering:

"But... growing strawberries is one thing, what does it have to do with my sister getting married?"

In the next moment, Brother Xiaosun suddenly pulled the car over to the side of the road and laughed, "I’m going to the bathroom."

Seeing him get out, Tian Tian’s mom then smilingly scolded:

"You silly child, even if Brother Xiaosun is straightforward and doesn’t mind, you shouldn’t speak such things in front of him... just as they’re saving money for the wedding. Your sister will just have to endure a bit, stay home a bit longer, and save some money for your future living expenses."

"If she gets married, she’ll be a part of the Sun family, and if she’s still supporting you, her mother-in-law might not be happy about it."

The car fell silent instantly.

Tian Tian sat in the passenger seat, where those at the back couldn’t see her expression. Even her lips were pale.

The next moment, she turned directly back: "Mom, even if I’m married, I’m not part of their Sun family. Xiao Sun and I would form our own family."

"Besides, whether he has money or not, I’ll marry him. Whether I’m capable or not, I’ll still look after Tian Ye... this has nothing to do with me getting married."

"How is it unrelated?" Tian Tian’s mom chided her, "Tiantian, don’t blame mom for being straightforward. In the future, everything on our land belongs to Xiaoye. If you come back to farm after you’re married, how will the income be divided?"

"Your dad and I don’t want your money, but your brother has no fallback. If you take over everything, your future sister-in-law might not be happy."

Tian Tian just felt deeply ironic.

It turned out she was the family’s pillar and the good daughter expected to launch her brother to success.

After marriage, the two families would separate entirely, and she must consider the future wife’s thoughts of a brother who is only 17.

In the back seat, Tian Ye’s face flushed instantly: "Mom, how can you say that? The family depends entirely on my sister. Without her, how could we ever have the chance to grow strawberries?"

"Exactly!" Their mom sighed and nodded, "Your sister gives everything to you. You can’t forget her goodness when you get a wife."

He wanted to say more, but Tian Tian calmly called for Sun Ziqiang to come back: "Let’s go, take us home first."

In her life, she was always brave enough to act decisively. Since there’s a disagreement now, she had to sort it out personally tonight!
