Chapter 1760 - 1762: One Year
"Originally, our family reached out to a matchmaker, hoping to rekindle the connection between the two, but we didn’t expect it to be rejected."
At this point, Chuntao’s mother spoke up, "Actually, we didn’t intend to refuse; it was Chuntao herself who disagreed."
This was indeed the truth; if Li Chuntao had agreed at the time, they would have agreed to the marriage.
"Yes, my father mentioned this at home too. Your daughter’s refusal is understandable; after all, to her, my fourth brother is now a stranger." Yang Ming maintained a gentle demeanor, "I’m not just speaking for my fourth brother. He does have his flaws, and to be honest, my fourth brother is not worthy of your daughter; it’s a case of aiming too high."
Yang Ming’s words were so sincere that they made Chuntao’s father feel a bit embarrassed. "What are you talking about? It’s not about aiming too high or anything; your family is also doing well now."
Yang Ming’s smile remained on his face, his demeanor humble and courteous, "Uncle Li, Aunt Li, your daughter just doesn’t remember now. I think it’s best not to rush into an engagement. If you arrange a marriage and send her away, she might not be able to accept it if she regains her memory later, considering her past affection for my fourth brother was quite strong."
"Though my fourth brother is a bit stubborn, he’s a very good person and treats his wife with genuine sincerity, just like the rest of us in our family. Uncle Li, Aunt Li, do you think you could give my fourth brother a chance to reconnect with your daughter? Maybe during their time together, she might remember the past, or perhaps she’ll come to like my fourth brother again."
When mentioning the possibility of remembering the past, Chuntao’s mother quickly asked, "Is it really possible to regain the memories? Even the Divine Doctor had no solution. Can it be restored?"
"Spending time with someone important to her might help; perhaps she’ll remember." This was also the conclusion discussed at home with his wife.
Then Yang Ming spoke again, "If your daughter still doesn’t like my fourth brother by then, it just means they weren’t meant to be, and we’ll leave it at that. My fourth brother will definitely not prevent your daughter from getting married."
Yang Ming had said so much, and every word was sincere. What else could Chuntao’s father say? Ultimately, it was all for his daughter’s well-being, and they had already decided not to arrange a marriage for her and to wait awhile.
Most importantly, he felt that Yang Dong seemed like an honest child. If his daughter could indeed marry him, he believed he would treat his daughter well.
So he said, "One year. If our Chuntao still has no interest in your Yang Dong, then we’ll just leave it at that. But I’ll say this upfront, your Yang Dong must not do anything inappropriate to our Chuntao, and we can’t allow the villagers to gossip."
Hearing this, Yang Ming felt relieved. This was a breakthrough, and he immediately assured, "Don’t worry, my fourth brother is a sensible person and would never do anything improper."
Chuntao’s father believed these words. Having spent some time in Yang Family’s village and getting to know the Yang Family, he found them amiable and without troublemakers. He couldn’t imagine them doing such things. If the two families could indeed become in-laws, it would be a good thing. However, no matter how he felt, it ultimately depended on his daughter’s decision.
