Chapter 135: Ye Mu's Probe (Part 5)

  "Aunt Liang, you... what do you mean? I don't understand."

  Calm down! Calm down! Su Lin told herself in her heart, she must calm down and pretend not to understand, asking Ye Mu Liang Gui Zhu instead.

  "What's going on? Kobayashi, don't think you can fool me with your tricks. Are you pretending to be stupid on purpose? Do you think you can easily deceive me?"

  Liang Guizhu didn't get angry, but instead smiled, leaning back on the sofa, looking up at her head and staring at Su Lin. "Just now when I was at your house, Aunt Liang spared your face and didn't mention this to your parents. Now that there's no one else here, Xiaolin, you and your sister Zhu's little matter, did you really think Aunt Liang didn't know?"

  "Yes! Aunt Liang, you're right. I do have a relationship with Zhu Jie. But I really like her and genuinely want to take care of her for the rest of my life."

  As expected! Ye Mu knew everything, and Su Lin's heart suddenly cooled down. However, she also felt more at ease. Since Ye Mu already knew everything, there was no need to hide anything anymore. Whether she stuck her head out or hid it, she would still get criticized, so she might as well just admit it openly.

  "Take care of Xing Zhu for his whole life?"

  Yè Mǔ stood up from the sofa, "Little Lin, you're still a young kid yourself, you still need others to take care of you, how can you take care of our family's Xīng Zhú?"

  What Yemu said is actually not wrong, sister and brother romance is also a traditional culture that is relatively rejected by the girl's family. Although there is a saying that "a woman over 30 is worth gold", it refers to the man's family, letting their son take an older daughter-in-law, with the purpose of making her better take care of their son.

  In China, women generally have a "big uncle complex", liking mature uncles who are older than themselves, thinking that this is safer and that the other party can better understand their incomprehensible female hearts. Adding to this the economic advantages of older mature uncles has made the phenomenon of old husbands with young wives relatively common domestically.

  But Su Lin doesn't think of himself as a child anymore, he understands the responsibilities and obligations on his shoulders, he wants to grow up, he wants to mature, so he must take these responsibilities seriously.

  For Ye Xingzhu, Su Lin was resolute and immediately stood up from the sofa, solemnly promising to Ye's mother: "Liang auntie, whether you believe it or not. I swear that I will take good care of Xingzhu sister and give her and you a happy and stable life."

  "Kobayashi, are you really sure about this?"

  Looking at Su Lin's sincere expression, Ye Mu was also moved. The emotions of young men are indeed so pure and unadulterated, but reality is reality, never the beautiful world in a young man's dreams.

  "Just now I also tried to sound out your parents at your home, Xiaolin. Let me ask you, if your parents don't like Xingzhu and are not willing to let her be the daughter-in-law of the Su family, what will you do?"

  Liáng Guìzhū is a mother who has to be careful and meticulous for her daughter's future. It's the same reason why men fear entering the wrong profession and women fear marrying the wrong man.

  Of course, Liang Gui Zhu is also a woman, and she can see from her daughter Ye Xing Zhu's changes towards Su Lin that Ye Xing Zhu has thoroughly fallen into the quagmire of Su Lin. Any normal woman is loyal to one love, and her heart can only accommodate one lover. A person's heart is like a fist, where can it hold more emotions?

  So when a woman puts all her thoughts on one man, Liang Gui Zhu knew that it was useless to persuade her.

  Today, she specifically asked Su Lin at this time, and Liang Gui Zhu was also looking for an answer. She wanted to see if the little boy who grew up in front of her eyes was a responsible man.

  "Aunt Liang, why do my parents oppose it? You also saw that my mom really likes Sister Zhu. My dad opposes it only because I'm still young and not suitable for talking about these things too early. Aunt Liang, I understand your worries. I grew up under your care, and Sister Zhu and I have been together for over a decade. Do you think I would do something to hurt Sister Zhu? Can I bear to let Sister Zhu be sad and unhappy? No! Aunt Liang, Sister Zhu is my woman. I love her, and she loves me. So I want to be with her, and no one can stop us. I will give her all that I can, make her happy, and seeing her smile happily is my greatest happiness."

  Every sentence is a sincere word, Su Lin stared back at Ye Mu's gaze, he was not afraid of Ye Mu's questioning and distrust, anyway, his heart thought so, and would do so. Zhu Jie had already become his woman, without a doubt, Su Lin would use everything to protect and care for Zhu Jie, even if it meant his life.

  "Kobayashi, you..."

  At this time, Ye Xingzhu was carrying a pile of clothes out of her mother Liang Guizhen's room and happened to hear Su Lin's sincere words. She felt a warm feeling in her heart that she had never experienced before. No one had ever made her feel so warm and happy.

  "Sister Bamboo!"

  Su Lin turned around, only to find Ye Xingzhu standing behind him, and seeing Ye Xingzhu's eyes well up with tears, he felt both heartache and affection. If it weren't for the fact that Ye Mu was there, Su Lin really wanted to go forward, gently kiss Ye Xingzhu's forehead, and tell her that everything would be alright, that all the hardships and misfortunes would be borne by him.

  "Mom! How could you... say such things to Xiaolin?"

  Ye Xingzhu also heard his mother's previous questioning of Su Lin, and although he was delighted with Su Lin's heartfelt answer, he also blamed his mother for putting too much pressure on Su Lin.

  "Why can't Mom say these words? You're Mom's daughter, and Mom says these things for your own good. Oh! It's really true that a daughter is not her own once she grows up, and a married-out daughter is like spilled water. Forget it! Mom won't bother with you guys anymore, do whatever you want!"

  Although she said she didn't care, Ye Mu secretly nodded in approval of Su Lin's behavior. Su Lin did not evade the issue, nor did he hesitate or show a fearful expression as if the sky was falling; instead, he bravely expressed his inner thoughts and made a commitment, which is what Ye Mu considered to be a man with responsibility and a sense of duty.

  A man who is poor and has nothing, what he fears most is not having ambition and a sense of responsibility. Just like a woman's virtue, a man's sense of responsibility is also a kind of innate merit that should be possessed from birth. A man without a sense of responsibility is just three words: "not reliable". Which mother under the sky would dare to entrust her daughter to an unreliable man?
