Sister A began, "Jiang Guangxing is a pretty good person. You’re already thirty-three, and you still don’t have children. If it turns out you can’t have any, in future, he has three kids to take care of you.
Also, when he was leaving just now, he said if you disagreed, we shouldn’t tell anyone else, worrying it might affect you negatively.
A woman having such a considerate man is quite good. At least he truly cares for you.
We also asked him if he had designs on your apartnt. Jiang Guangxing said he absolutely doesn’t. That apartnt is yours. Besides, his house is not far from the textile factory, and he’s already secured another apartnt."
Sister B added, "You know, if a woman grows old without anyone by her side, how could she cope? Really wait until you’re old to find soone? What sort of feelings would there be then? It’s often said that young couples are lifelong companions in their old age.
And you have to understand your limitations. Unrealistic ideas shouldn’t be entertained."
Listening to them, Tian Mingyan kept contemplating deeply.
The last thing they said just struck her. Indeed, Wei Kaiyun was just one of her unrealistic fantasies.
Is she really going to be alone for life? They’re right; when she’s old and immobile, without anyone to care for her, what aning would be left?
People have introduced her to younger n, but she knew they were from poor families who couldn’t find a bride and were all eyeing her apartnt.
Upon hearing about Jiang Guangxing’s situation, it sounded quite good. At least her apartnt would still be hers.
The most important point is that since returning, she’s been thinking, being just thirty-three, she can still have children. Jia Xingzhi doesn’t have kids either, so the problem isn’t with her. Hence, if she marries quickly, she might still have children of her own.
She knew about Jiang Guangxing, but wasn’t familiar with him. However, hearing what he said, she found him pretty good. Why not give it a try? They both work in the textile factory, so there’s no fear of him coveting her money.
If she can have children, great. If not, his three will still care for her.
The three sisters watched the expressions on Tian Mingyan’s face change continually.
"Three Sisters, I agree to see how it goes."
Sister Tian smiled, "We both share the Tian surna. Perhaps, a hundred years ago we were family. I hope things go well for you.
It’s not easy for a woman, and if she doesn’t et a good man, then it’s really over.
This Jiang Guangxing may not be so perfect match, but he’s certainly better than Jia Xingzhi."
"Sister Tian, I understand. Thank you, three sisters. I’ve decided to give it a try with Jiang Guangxing. If he’s good, I don’t want to be alone for the rest of my life either."
Sister Tian and the three of them happily left to find Jiang Guangxing to give him the good news.
"Thank you, three ladies. If it works out, I’ll definitely treat you to plenty of wedding sweets." Jiang Guangxing was genuinely happy, never expecting it to happen so soon.
"Just treat Mr. Tian well. It wasn’t her choice to divorce. She had no solution with a man like that."
"I know, I know. I’ll definitely treat her well."
The three ladies happily returned to the office. The union’s job is to help workers solve problems, too.
Jiang Guangxing checked the ti and, realizing he still had ti, hurriedly went to find Tian Mingyan.
Now that things were clarified, Tian Mingyan felt a bit shy, but was glad he was being proactive.
"Ming Yan, co to my place for dinner tonight. It’ll also let you see my place and my three kids. I’m not boasting, but they’re quite sensible and won’t make things difficult for you."
Tian Mingyan thought for a mont and nodded, "Alright, after work, I’ll go with you to see."
"Good, I’ll wait for you at the factory gate after work."
"Let’s et a little further away. Once we understand each other better, we can be more open about it."
Now, with whatever Tian Mingyan said, Jiang Guangxing nodded favorably.
He practically floated ho, delighted with the turn of events, and spent the rest of the afternoon with a smile on his face.
After work, he hurriedly went to get his bicycle and waited for Tian Mingyan at a corner not far from the factory gate.
After work, Tian Mingyan showered and changed her clothes before going out. She wanted to wait until everyone had left before heading out.
Even after waiting forty minutes, Jiang Guangxing showed no signs of impatience, sothing Jia Xingzhi couldn’t compare to.
"Did I keep you waiting?"
"No worries, let’s go. We’ll get so dishes from the restaurant; the kids should have already prepared the al."
"No need to buy anything; let’s eat whatever’s at ho, okay?"
"How can that be right?"
"It’s fine, let’s go."
While a bit conflicted, Jiang Guangxing still listened to her.
Sitting on the back seat, Tian Mingyan felt a mix of emotions. Her marriage with Jia Xingzhi was just her accommodating him.
But with Jiang Guangxing, he indeed listened to her opinions, which felt particularly nice. It made her feel valued.
"Mr. Tian, I’m forty this year, quite a bit older than you. But I assure you as long as you’re committed to living with , I’ll listen to everything you say."
"I have a question for you."
"Go ahead."
"If I really do marry you, in the future, when your sons get married, will they use my apartnt?"
"No, absolutely not. What’s yours is yours. If you want to give it, you give it; if not, they must care for you in your old age."
"Good, I understand your intentions. If we truly get together, I’ll contribute to the household finances."
"Even if you don’t, I can support the family. Don’t worry, I may not have much money, but with careful planning, we’ll manage well."
Tian Mingyan had already set her mind at ease halfway. This honest, respectful man seed quite good, although he wasn’t as handso or smooth-talking as Jia Xingzhi. After experiencing a failed marriage, she now just wanted to live a stable life.
Having figured things out, Tian Mingyan felt much better.
In just over ten minutes, Jiang Guangxing stopped. "We’ve arrived. This is my place. Please co in, Mr. Tian."
It was a proper five-room house with two four-room side wings. The courtyard was tidily kept, looking quite pleasant, and a few small garden plots seed very well-tended. Clearly, much care had been put in.
The three children ca out, "Dad."
"All three of you, co here. This is the woman I want to be your mother. For now, just call her Aunt Tian."
The eldest was a girl, her face still holding the expression she walked out with, calling out, "Aunt Tian." The two boys followed their sister in the sa way.
"Dad, Aunt Tian, the food is ready. Shall we eat?"
"Alright, let’s eat in the courtyard," Tian Mingyan said with a smile. She was quite satisfied with the three children, knowing well that they are already grown. If they can coexist peacefully in the future, it would already be a good outco.
So she smiled and spoke amicably with them, showing a gentle deanor.
