There are many children who are unwilling for their parents to form new families. In their hearts, only their biological parents are good enough, and they often resist stepfathers and stepmothers.
Xiao Yun is fourteen this year, turning fifteen next year. The young girl started middle school, and years ago she experienced her parents’ divorce, which was quite a blow to her. Naturally, this made her actions and thoughts much more mature than her peers.
Upon hearing Cheng Su’s words, she said, "Whether I agree or not doesn’t really matter; what’s important is whether my mom agrees."
"Oh?"
"My dad already had a son, and he remarried long ago. My mom’s been taking care of Xiao Bao and me for years without finding us a stepfather, truly worried that we would be at a disadvantage, and I understand that. Originally, I thought it was quite nice, even wishing she would never remarry and that Xiao Bao and I would take care of her in her old age. But as I grew older, I saw her sometimes sitting alone at night, without anyone to talk to, and I felt she was quite lonely. I thought, when Xiao Bao and I grow up and start working, each with our own family, what will she do? I thought it would be good if she found someone else to be with. Now there’s this attentive uncle, so be it, let her marry. If the sky wants to rain or a woman wants to get married, who can stop it?" Xiao Yun said with an air of adult-like wisdom.
Cheng Su chuckled and said, "You even know this saying?"
"I do read, you know," Xiao Yun replied. "I’m actually okay with it; after all, I’m grown up. If I don’t get along with the stepfather, at worst, I’ll just go to boarding school later. I’m just worried Xiao Bao might be upset. He’s still young, and he’ll have a long time living with them!"
Cheng Su laughed and said, "So, what do you think? Is Uncle Chu good to you?"
"He’s alright!" Xiao Yun shrugged and said, "But they aren’t married yet, are they? To know whether a person is truly good, you have to see over time. Before marriage, everything seems great because they’re not together yet. But after marriage, after a long time, you’ll know if it’s good or not."
