Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 545

Chapter 545: Showing Off Her Son-in-law ( 2 )
Mother Pan knew that most of her neighbors who had nieces or daughters were eager to push them to her son. Although Pan’s mother longs for her son to get married and have many grandchildren, she doesn’t want to force her son to marry someone he dislikes.

She hopes that her children will find the one they love and have a happy marriage like she and her husband did. She has seen many loveless marriages that ended in infidelity or a cold relationship between the couple.

Since her son did not like the neighbor’s daughter or niece, she would reject them for his sake.

Mother Pan sighed and said, “It’s not that I didn’t urge my son, but he has grown up now and has his own plans. As a mother, if he doesn’t like the girl, I can’t force him. I can only wait until he finds the girl he loves and brings her home to show me.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the neighbors looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. As mothers, they never thought of letting their children decide on their own marriage. As parents, isn’t it their responsibility to find a good partner for their children?

If they were allowed to make their own choices, what if they brought back someone with a bad personality? What if that person disrespects them and instigates their son to become estranged from the family? Wouldn’t that be equivalent to losing a child and creating lots of problems for the family?

Noticing their gazes, Mother Pan just smiled and said nothing. Her words were enough to express her intention. She would never force her children into a loveless marriage.

Just when the atmosphere was awkward, a postman came over on a bicycle. A neighbor saw him coming and said, “Comrade, you haven’t been here for a long time.”

The postman parked his bicycle and said with a smile, “There are fewer letters and packages these days. So, I can only deliver them when they accumulate more.”

The postman took out a stack of letters and handed them to them. When they saw a large box tied to the back seat, one of them asked, “Comrade, does this box also belong to the residents of this dormitory?”

The postman nodded, untied the box from his bicycle, and handed it to Mother Pan, “Aunt Pan, this is your package. I will help you deliver it to your home.”

When everyone saw how big the package was and the thin letter paper in their hands, they felt sour in their hearts.

“Sister-in-law, has your daughter sent you the local specialty again?” one of the neighbors asked with curiosity.

“Aiya, sister-in-law, you are so blessed. Not only are your sons filial, but even your daughter remembers to send you and your husband something once a month.”

Hearing their sour words, Mother Pan smiled and said, “It’s just some fresh vegetables she grew. Nothing special.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the postman said, “Aunt Pan, this is not from your daughter, but from a person named Li Lingyun.”

When everyone heard this, their ears perked up, and one of them asked, “Li Lingyun? Sister-in-law, is that your future son-in-law?”

Although Mother Pan did not object to her daughter falling in love with the villagers, she did not want others to know that her daughter had a boyfriend before meeting her daughter’s boyfriend in person. After all, no one can guarantee that he is a good man.

So, until she and her husband were sure that his feelings for their daughter were genuine and not motivated by any ulterior motives, they agreed to hide this matter from others. Unfortunately, due to the postman’s slip of the tongue, it is now impossible to hide this matter from these gossipers.

In this case, she could only save her daughter’s face and said with a smile, “Well, Meijia did tell me about her friend.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the neighbor’s eyes flashed with delight for a moment before she said with surprise, “Sister-in-law, isn’t your daughter going to a small village for re-education? Are her friends a villager? Isn’t she very close to the Xiao family’s son? I thought they would get married eventually.”

Mother Pan frowned when she heard her words. Feeling displeased, she said, “What’s wrong with the villagers? Although he is a villager, he is diligent and honest. Since we eat the food grown by the villagers, shouldn’t we respect them instead of belittling them?”

“Also, my daughter does have a close relationship with the Xiao family’s children, but she is close with their daughter, not their son. Please be careful of what you say so as not to ruin my daughter’s reputation,” she added with a deep frown.

As soon as she finished speaking, a neighbor noticed Mother Pan’s displeasure and quickly said, “Sister-in-law, we didn’t mean that. We are just worried about your daughter’s future. I heard from my cousin that life in the village is not as good as we imagined. While they grow food, they often go hungry and without money. If your daughter marries a villager, her life will be difficult in the future ah!”

“That’s right. It’s better to marry someone who eats government rice,” another neighbor added with fake worry.

Hearing their disparaging remarks about her future son-in-law, Mother Pan’s face turned red with anger. She glanced at the big box and suddenly a thought flashed in her mind. She smiled and said, “Comrade, I can bring the box myself. There is no need to bother you.”

“Aunt Pan, this box is very heavy. Are you sure you can take it by yourself to your home?” the postman asked.

Hearing his words, a neighbor said with rolled eyes, “Isn’t it just some vegetables? What’s so heavy about this?”

Mother Pan glanced at her neighbor and sneered in her heart. This person was always jealous of her because she was doing better than her. This time, she will make her eyes turn green with envy!
