Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom

Chapter 503: A Grand-Scale Marriage-Pushing Scene

Seeing Jiang Ran stand up, Shen Yueyue also stood up.

"Sister Ranran, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Ran heard this and looked at Shen Yueyue, "I’m going to take a look at the East Courtyard."

Shen Yueyue’s eyes sparkled, "Can I come along and take a look?"

Jiang Ran nodded, "Sure."

Hearing Jiang Ran agree, Shen Yueyue immediately skipped along.

As the two walked outside, Shen Yueyue started chatting away.

"I’ve never stayed in a siheyuan before, only seen the outside before."

"What about your house?"

"My house is in a Western-style building."

Jiang Ran, "....."

She knew that, being on good terms with Elder Jiang, Elder Shen’s family was certainly not simple.

An old Western-style house is in no way cheaper than a siheyuan.

The two of them chatted as they walked, with Shen Yueyue looking around constantly.

It seemed she was genuinely interested in the siheyuan.

"If you like it, you can consider buying a small one," Jiang Ran suggested.

Buying a siheyuan now isn’t very expensive.

At least for a family like Shen Yueyue’s, the price is genuinely not expensive.

It’s also an investment, you’ll earn back hundreds of times more in the future.

But Shen Yueyue shook her head, "I can’t buy it."

Seeing Shen Yueyue’s mood suddenly drop, Jiang Ran found it a bit strange.

Judging by Elder Shen’s attitude towards Shen Yueyue, he seemed to like this granddaughter quite a bit.

A wealthy family’s granddaughter, who is also much loved and pampered, should have a good amount of money in her hands, so how could she not be able to buy it?

But soon, Jiang Ran realized.

Shen Yueyue said she can’t buy it herself, not that she can’t afford it.

There’s a reason behind it, but it’s definitely not because of money.

Jiang Ran didn’t ask further, but glanced at Shen Yueyue.

If there was a reason she could talk about, Shen Yueyue would tell her even if she herself didn’t ask.

If it was a reason that couldn’t be disclosed, even if she asked, Shen Yueyue wouldn’t answer.

Seeing as that was the case, it was better not to ask and wait to see if Shen Yueyue would say anything.

After a short wait, Shen Yueyue spoke up.

"My family is urging me to get married, saying that once I find someone to marry, I can buy whatever I want."

Jiang Ran didn’t expect to hear a live marriage-pushing scene.

But thinking about it, it was quite normal.

After all, in this day and age, twenty-one or twenty-two is indeed the age to get married.

In the words of the older generation, if you don’t quickly find a partner at this age, in two more years, you won’t be able to find someone even if you want to.

Jiang Ran certainly didn’t agree with this notion.

In the future, people marrying later will only become more common.

Twenty-one or twenty-two is the prime of one’s youth.

Your life is just starting; how could you get married and have children and take on the responsibility of someone else’s life?

Thinking this, Jiang Ran looked at Shen Yueyue, "What do you think?"

Shen Yueyue smiled, without a hint of distress in her smile.

"Actually, it’s not that I’m unwilling to get married, it’s just that I haven’t found the right person. I don’t like the ones my family introduced to me, and it’s not that they’re bad people, we just don’t see eye to eye. If I could find the right person, I could get married! That way, no one would be able to control me, and I could do whatever I want."

Listening to Shen Yueyue’s words, Jiang Ran understood.

All her talk about liking or not liking boils down to her wanting to find someone who won’t control or restrict her, someone who shares her values and interests.
