Upon hearing that it was about finding a match for Weiqiu, Mother Qi let out a slight sigh of relief and said, "I thought it was something else. With Weiqiu’s looks and character, finding a match shouldn’t be difficult, leave it to me!"
Hearing this, Erzhen’s aunt also sighed and said, "Erzhen, it’s actually not that easy. Look at me, what else do I have to rely on, only Weiqiu. If she gets married, I’d have to go with her."
"Huh?" Mother Qi was stunned.
Erzhen’s aunt looked a little embarrassed. Following her traditional mindset, she definitely wanted to return to her roots, being cared for by her son until the end of her life, and then being buried together with her late husband. This fulfilled her lifelong intention of observing chastity.
But the reality is, Deng Weixia ran away, and she herself had a stroke. Without anyone to take care of her, she feared she might die without anyone knowing.
Therefore, the person Deng Weiqiu marries had better agree to let her live with her daughter and son-in-law. Even if not, living nearby would be fine, at least to have some assistance.
Mother Qi listened, bewildered.
There’s nothing wrong with getting married, but taking one’s mother along with the marriage, no one in the village has ever done that, so how do we handle this?
Seeing her expression, Erzhen’s aunt felt even more embarrassed, wishing she could dig a hole and disappear.
But what could she do? She had no other way. Was she truly supposed to jump into a well?
Erzhen’s aunt started crying again and said, "I know, it’s a difficult request, but I have no husband or sons to depend on, and my health is like this. If I hadn’t had a stroke, I could still take care of myself. How could I have such a thought? It’s my fate!"
Mother Qi started to have a headache and forced a smile, "Sister, stop crying. Weiqiu is only twenty, not too old. We can take our time. We’ll find someone."
Erzhen’s aunt nodded and said, "Taiguo and your daughter-in-law know many people. Why don’t you ask them if they know anyone suitable? Weiqiu is a good girl; she was just born unlucky..."
Mother Qi forced a smile, feeling like she had taken on a hot potato, painfully burning her palms.
