In the evening, my mother asked me again.
She inquired, "Nuan Nuan, do you still have feelings for Zhang Zhe?"
I was taken aback and retorted, "Mom, have you come to a conclusion?"
My mother sighed, "Zhang Zhe has grown up with you since childhood. We know his background; his family values are decent, and he is a good person.
"However, his family has strict rules and high expectations. His marriage will likely not be something he can decide on his own.
"Your father and I have discussed it. If you truly want to be with him, we don't want you to suffer, but you must understand that once you marry him, you cannot be treated poorly."
A warmth spread through my heart.
I realized that my mother had come around and was considering letting me marry Zhang Zhe.
I replied, "Mom, I understand. This is all thanks to my sister-in-law's mediation."
My mother sighed again and said no more.
I went to find my sister-in-law.
She was busy at the moment.
I sat in the living room waiting.
My sister-in-law is smart and capable, with excellent interpersonal skills. She manages the family business exceptionally well.
She treats me kindly. Whether as a wife or a sister-in-law, she is impeccable in every way.
So, Zhang Muro staying in the the Jiang Family is destined to be a tragedy.
Once my sister-in-law finished her tasks, she took my hand and sat down beside me, asking, "Nuan Nuan, how long have you been here?"
I smiled and replied, "It's been a little while."
She smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
I shook my head. "No, it's just that I came at an inconvenient time."
Sister-in-law sighed. "Nuan Nuan, I know you're feeling troubled.
"But this is all I can do to help you.
"Now, you're about to get married, and I hope you can marry someone you love, and that he is worthy of your affection."
I smiled. "I will.
"Thank you, Sister-in-law."
She patted my hand.
We exchanged smiles.
Suddenly, Sister-in-law covered her mouth and started to gag.
The Health Consultant hurried over to check on her and exclaimed, "You're expecting!"
The whole family was overjoyed.
Only I felt worried about Sister-in-law's health.
She said, "It's fine; I'm in good health."
Then she laughed heartily. "If my child can be as well-behaved as you, I'll be content."
I laughed along with her.
Sister-in-law busied herself with my wedding preparations.
Not only did she prepare a generous dowry for me, but she also invited a designer from abroad to create a special wedding dress tailored just for me.
My brother was also busy on my behalf.
While he was taking care of everything, he privately said to me, "Nuan Nuan, Zhang Zhe is a rational person but lacks emotional understanding.
"You need to think carefully about whether you really want to marry him."
I smiled again. "Brother, you know Zhang Zhe better than anyone; you should know he's a good person."
My brother sighed. "It's precisely because he's a good person that I'm reminding you.
"He treats everyone well, but he doesn't treat his family well enough."
I smiled and said nothing more.
My brother, feeling anxious, asked, "Nuan Nuan, are you even listening to me?"
I nodded, "I understand."
"Brother, don't worry. If Zhang Zhe bullies me, you'll stand up for me, right?"
He laughed, "Of course."
I felt reassured.
My brother always kept his promises and would definitely stand up for me.
The wedding date was set for October.
It was a season when the maple leaves turned red.
Before I got married, my sister-in-law gifted me a white jade necklace inlaid with diamonds.
She said, "Nuan Nuan, this necklace was part of my dowry from the the Liu Family. Now I'm giving it to you as your wedding gift. I hope everything goes smoothly for you in the future."
I accepted the necklace with tears in my eyes and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Nuan Nuan, I wish you happiness."
I nodded vigorously, "Sister-in-law, you take care too."
She smiled.
