Sang Yu felt dizzy from listening to the conversation, and Sang's father was equally overwhelmed by Sang's monther's words.
"Stop!" Sang Yu quickly interrupted Sang's monther, sensing that if she didn't, Sang's monther would go on talking until dawn.
Sang's monther's voice abruptly ceased. At that moment, Sang Yu truly admired her mother. How could she be so talkative? It was no wonder she was a teacher. And how could she think so far ahead? Sang Yu hadn’t even touched the surface of dating yet, while her mother had already given birth to a child.
"Mom, you’re a highly educated intellectual, a university professor. Shouldn't your mindset be a bit more progressive? What era are we in? It's the new age now; everyone advocates for female independence. There are plenty of people who choose not to marry."
Sang's father and Sang's monther exchanged glances, both startled. Did she really intend to remain single for life?
Sang's monther shot Sang's father a look, urging him to speak up. Reluctantly, he cleared his throat and said, "Da Bao, while it's true that we advocate for female independence nowadays, getting married doesn’t negate your independence, does it? The saying goes that men should marry when they grow up and women should marry when they come of age. This wisdom has been passed down for a reason. Look at your mother and me; we've been married for so long and are quite happy together." As he spoke, he couldn't resist showing off their affection.
Sang's monther rolled her eyes at Sang's father, thinking it was unnecessary to bring their relationship into the conversation about their daughter. However, she wasn't going to undermine her husband's authority.
"Your father is right. Men should marry when they grow up and women when they come of age. You need to do what’s expected at your age; we can't go against the natural order of things. Your current task is to find a boyfriend and get married to have children. You know Liu Teacher from my office? Her daughter is the same age as you; she got married right after graduating from college, and now she has a grandchild in kindergarten! Meanwhile, you haven’t even introduced us to a potential son-in-law."
Sigh! It’s all because our daughter isn’t trying hard enough! Sang's monther cast a resentful glance at her daughter.
Sang Yu replied, "She’s just single; how does that equate to going against nature?"
She knew it was trouble when her mother called her back home. Usually, her parents were as harmonious as one person; they had long wanted to enjoy life together without their daughters getting in the way.
Now that they had finally sent Sang Xia off to college, they were living their dream. That’s why Sang's father and Sang's monther rarely called her home anymore. As for her, she had grown into a sensible child who only returned home every three or four weeks.
Although she envied her parents' relationship, finding a partner was something that couldn’t be rushed; she couldn't just grab someone off the street for marriage.
Sang Yu sighed in resignation, "I never said I didn’t want to get married; it’s just that I haven’t met anyone suitable yet."
Sang's monther responded, "That’s why you need to meet more people! You never know who you might click with. By the way, Professor Lin's son from our office came back recently; you two should meet up. And there are your dad's colleagues as well as Auntie and your other relatives—there are plenty of opportunities for you to find someone suitable."
Great! I haven't even met one yet, and now there’s already a queue forming behind them.
"You all can arrange it; I’m going to take a shower," Sang Yu quickly found an excuse to escape. Her mother was terrifying—she might as well become a matchmaker!
"Since you agreed, I’ll call Auntie now," Sang's monther shouted after Sang Yu's retreating figure.
"Do we really have to pressure her this much? What if her condition flares up again?" Although their daughter had previously shown mild signs of depression, thinking back on it still made them uneasy.
Sang's monther patted her husband’s arm and said, "You know our daughter well enough. If she's come to terms with things, then there’s no problem. What worries me is if she hasn’t truly moved on from that person; otherwise, with so many opportunities available, how could she not have dated anyone?"
Auntie's efficiency was impressive; that very night, the man added Sang Yu on WeChat. They exchanged simple greetings and arranged to meet for lunch together over the weekend. Afterward, Sang Yu found an excuse to end the conversation—she preferred to see how things went in person first.
After enjoying two days of a life where meals were served and clothes were brought to her, she was urged to head out by Sang's monther at ten o'clock on a weekend morning.
Sang Yu felt a bit speechless; they had agreed on ten o'clock, and it was still early.
"Come on, there's no need to rush. It's only ten!"
"It's better to leave early. What if there's traffic? It wouldn't be good to be late for our first meeting."
Sang Yu replied, "Seriously, Zhou Tian, how could there be traffic at this hour? Can you please stop speaking so dramatically?"
