Chapter 24: The Queen's View of Marriage
Grandma Fujimoto was obviously angry, she looked at her daughter and said very sternly: "Work, work is work, you can't forget your work anywhere." I ask you if you can think about your personal problems, you are thirty years old, how long will it be delayed? When your brother was your age, Junko was already a year old. โ
Facing her mother's anger, Etsuko Fujimoto said with a smile on her face: "Mom, how can I be thirty years old, I am only twenty-nine this year, and I will only be thirty after the New Year." โ
Facing her hippie smiling daughter, Grandma Fujimoto took a deep breath and said, "You don't give me a sloppy eye here, is there a difference between twenty-nine and thirty?" It's the end of May now, and you're still young. I said a long time ago that you don't have to work so hard, and I can rest assured that if you get married early, it will not be your turn to pick someone but someone else's turn to pick you if it drags on like this. โ
Hearing this, Etsuko Fujimoto took a piece of tofu and put it in her mouth and said: "Mom, look at what you said, we are not radish and cabbage on the market, how can there be anything to pick and choose, you let me go on a blind date, and I will go on a blind date, and if you can't find a suitable one, you can't blame me." โ
When Mrs. Rie heard this, she quickly poured a small cup of sake for her mother-in-law, and said in a joke, "Yes, Etsuko is also working hard, Mom, don't be angry." Besides, Etsuko is not busy working hard, she is now the creative director of the company, and last year the company rewarded her with shares in recognition of her outstanding contributions, which is a kind of trust in her. Now Guangyang and I can't earn her alone, Etsuko is so capable, mom you should be happy. โ
Grandma Fujimoto sighed heavily when she heard this and said, "It's not that I don't let her work hard, I'm asking her to think about herself a little bit." No matter how capable a woman is, she still has to get married and have children in the end, and it is better to be early than later. โ
Etsuko Fujimoto didn't care about her mother's words, she gently slapped her wine cup and said, "Mom, I can't agree with what you say, why do women have to get married?" Marriage is not a necessity in life, and it is a good thing that people like my brother and sister-in-law who are in love with each other and like to enjoy the joy of family go to get married. For people like me who don't like noise and like to be quiet, it's not a sin to go aside and stay honest and live their lives quietly. โ
Grandma Fujimoto was so angry that she pointed at her daughter with her hand trembling, looking like she was about to run out of breath.
Mrs. Rie, who was sitting next to her, hurriedly patted her mother-in-law on the back, and Mr. Fujimoto said to his sister, "Etsuko, talk well, don't talk back to your mother." โ
Mrs. Fujimoto comforted her mother-in-law and said with relief: "Mom, don't be angry, I've been keeping an eye on her for the past few days, and if there is a suitable one, I will arrange for them to contact." โ
It's okay not to say this, but as soon as she said this, Grandma Fujimoto became even more angry, and she asked her daughter, "The Mr. Kishimoto who introduced you last week, why didn't you two make it?" The matchmaker gave me the news, saying that Mr. Ren had a good impression of you. โ
Hearing this, Etsuko Fujimoto put down her chopsticks and said: "Mom, don't tease, that Mr. Kishimoto is quite honest, but he is 1.67 meters tall and weighs 167 pounds. Although he said that he was 35 years old, I didn't look like it at all, and the waiter who served us food thought I was here to celebrate the birthday of my elders. Mom, if someone introduced you to this when you were younger, would you agree? โ
Grandma Fujimoto thought for a moment when she heard this, and felt that such a person was really not good, and she couldn't agree with it, so she continued: "Then the Mito gentleman who introduced you the day before yesterday is always okay, he works in an important government department, and he is also handsome, and he is also interested in you, why don't you agree?" โ
Hearing this, Etsuko Fujimoto said with a slight sarcasm: "Yes, a good person at work is also handsome, but his temper is a little too big." As soon as we met, they told me that the women of their Mito family were not allowed to come out and show their faces, and that after I married him, I would quit my job and concentrate on taking care of the children at home. If he really has this kind of ability, I have no problem with letting me be a full-time wife, but he doesn't earn as much money a year as I do for more than a month, and the number in the passbook in his pocket is not enough for me to buy a bag, such a person actually dares to have this kind of thought, alas, it is really difficult for me to understand. โ
Grandma Fujimoto took a deep breath when she heard this, as if she wanted to say something, but Etsuko spoke before her.
I only heard her say slowly: "Mom, as you said, I'm not young anymore, so I can see it more clearly." Women will choose marriage only because of two points, one is love, and the other is material. Why should I marry my man if neither of these two points satisfies my man? I'm not disgusted with โกโก life and want to make some trouble for myself. โ
Grandma Fujimoto was speechless by her daughter's words, but she was unwilling to let her give up like this, so she only softened her tone and said: "Daughter, you can't be so stubborn, how can there be such a kind and affectionate character in this world." It's okay to get along with each other if you don't hate each other.,It's almost a little bit of a while.,Isn't everyone living like this.ใ โ
Hearing this, Etsuko Fujimoto raised her eyebrows and said, "Will, why should I settle?" I'm twenty-nine years old, and if nothing else, I'll always have 50 or 60 years to live. It's okay for a day, it's okay for a year, but it's not okay for me to spend the rest of my life. โ
Grandma Fujimoto was very angry when she heard this: "Speaking of which, you still don't want to look for it, you are so single, you yourself are chic, but have you ever thought about how your family feels?" Your mother and I are over 60 years old, and I'm still worried about you, can't you just think about yourself and let me save some snacks? โ
Looking at her mother's half-white hair, Etsuko Fujimoto dipped her lips with a handkerchief and said in a soft voice, "Mom, it's not impossible if you really want me to general." But I have to tell you, then I'm going to be very unhappy, very, very unhappy. And I think that if I really settle, it will also be a disservice to my husband who still has zร i, after all, if he hadn't married me, maybe people would have a wife who loved him, a lady who was willing to give his whole heart, instead of a woman like me who had a heart of compromise and dealt with him. Mom, everyone has the right to be happy, and depriving others of happiness is a cruel and selfish thing. โ
Grandma Fujimoto's mouth opened and closed, looking like she wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.
Etsuko Fujimoto got up at this time, walked to her mother's side, leaned on her and said, "Mom, I know what you mean. Dad didn't get early, my brother and I were your tips and eyes from childhood to adulthood. You want us to live well, and you want our lives to be stable and smooth. But marriage has always been cautious, in case your head is hot and your future is not good, you have to accompany us to be uncomfortable. Mom, I promise you that if I meet someone who can make my heart move, I will do my best to subdue him, and you have to believe that your daughter has this ability. โ
Looking at her daughter who was leaning on her side and coquettish, Grandma Fujimoto's anger was extinguished, she touched her daughter's head, sighed and said, "You, you are sweet-mouthed, and you can coax me the most." โ
Saying that, she said to her son and daughter-in-law, "Guangyang, Rie, I'm sorry to quarrel in your house." Mom is just worried about your sister, so she is a little impulsive to speak. โ
Mr. and Mrs. Fujimoto glanced at each other, and Mrs. Rie said, "You can see the outside world when you say that, we are a family, we don't have so many politeness, and we can say whatever we want in our hearts." โ
After her, Mr. Fujimoto also spoke, "Yes, now that things are all said, it will be good." Now the temperature of this hot pot is just right, let's move the chopsticks and let's eat. โ
As he spoke, he stretched out his chopsticks and took a large scallop and sent it to his mother's bowl.
A turmoil caused by different interpretations of marriage quietly dissipated as the family understood each other, leaving only a worshipping tanuki cat looking at Etsuko Fujimoto in awe underground.
Xu Jie shouted in his heart, the queen, please accept my worship.
