Shen Dongting thought for a moment and said, "I can only guarantee that I must be with Chen Rou now, but I can't guarantee what will happen in the future."

After listening to Shen Dongting's words, Shen Rong was silent and sighed silently in her heart. She didn't expect that Dongting could think so thoroughly at such a young age.

When you first hear what he said, it may seem unpleasant to hear, but if you think about it carefully, it is much better than those who make promises but break them in the end.

"Since your goal is to marry a girl from the Chen family, not to marry into the Chen family, then don't act like you want to marry into the Chen family and make your parents worry for nothing."

"I want to marry Miss Chen, but the Chen family only accepts women who marry into the family. If I want to be with Miss Chen, doesn't that mean I have to marry into the family?" Shen Dongting couldn't figure out the difference between the two.

Shen Rong looked at her silly brother and explained to him in detail, "Most families take in a son-in-law for the sake of incense and family lineage. On the contrary, the son-in-law is not the most important. Do you understand what I mean?"

Shen Dongting touched his head and asked, "What does this have to do with marrying into the family?"

"Of course it matters! If the Chen family is only doing this for the sake of incense, then at most you can promise to give the son you have after you marry Miss Chen the surname Chen, and then the incense issue will be resolved, right?

In this way, you can be with Miss Chen without having to marry into her family's family, and you won't have to be criticized by others.

If Miss Chen's father wants to have a son to take care of him in his old age, then you can promise to live in the county town after marriage, so that the two families can live closer and he can take care of his father-in-law nearby. I'm sure the old man will be willing to accept it."

Shen Rong's words completely opened up Shen Dongting's mind.

Previously, the Shen family was also influenced by the Chen family's insistence on only recruiting sons-in-law and not marrying daughters, and they didn't think about other options at all.

"Sister, do you think the Chen family will agree if I really say this?" Shen Dongting stood up suddenly, and his whole body became visibly energetic.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Shen Dongting jumped on the spot, and then began to circle around an old bamboo. "But... Dad won't let me go to the county town now. The old man is afraid that I will act on impulse and run to the Chen family to marry into the family and become someone else's son!"

At this point, Shen Dongting's face showed some hurt, obviously because his father did not trust him.

Shen Rong was relieved to see her brother finally regain his spirits. "You are an adult now, don't act like a child. Talk to Dad about your own ideas. Dad is not an unreasonable person."

Shen Dongting curled his lips and muttered, "Dad only talks to you, he doesn't have such a good temper towards us sons."

He remembered that when he had just returned from the county town, his mother told his father that the Chen family wanted to marry him into the family. His father was about to beat him with a bamboo stick, but his mother was more understanding and explained to his father again and again. In addition, his sister was bullied, and he was in a hurry to go to his sister's house to support her. Only then did the old man let him go.

Otherwise, even if he only liked the girl from the Chen family and had no intention of becoming someone else's son, the old man would still reward him with a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots.

Shen Rong didn't argue with her brother. Her father did treat her differently from Dong Ting and the others.

Dad never looked at her with a dark face, let alone spoke to her in a harsh tone, but it was different for her elder brother and younger brother. If they did something wrong, they would sometimes teach their son a lesson.

Shen Rong had no such worries at all. From childhood to adulthood, even if she burned the kitchen while cooking, Shen Wu never lifted a finger against her.

This is also the reason why Shen Dongting and his brothers felt that the old man favored girls over boys.

But this does not mean that Shen Wu does not value his son.

Shen Rong walked over to her brother and smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes one by one, "Dad is not as unreasonable as you say.

I've already told you the reasoning. This is your lifelong event. You're a little man now. If you're not willing, go and fight with your father. Making a fuss won't solve any problems."

After Shen Dongting heard what Shen Rong said, he felt more confident, but still a little nervous. "Sister, can you come with me to talk to Dad?"

Shen Rong shook her head and said, "Little brother, although I gave you the idea, no one can guarantee what the final result will be. It would be bad if I said too much for you.

However, I have the opportunity to speak well of you in front of Dad, but you still have to tell Dad yourself about this matter, so that it shows that you are responsible and determined to marry Miss Chen. "

She is a married woman now, so she shouldn't interfere too much in her parents' affairs.

What's more, since it was something her father strongly opposed, she couldn't interfere too much openly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, sister." Shen Dongting threw away the hoe, stopped digging for earthworms, and ran out of the bamboo forest to find his father.

Shen Rong didn't care about what happened next. Two days later, her mother came to talk to her.

"I don't know what Dong Ting said to your father. Your father just said that Dong Ting was not allowed to help in the shop the other day, but the next day he let him go to the county with the boss. What do you think is going on?"

When Mrs. Lu said this, there was some worry on her face that her son might become someone else's family.

"Mom, Dad asked me to go to the county town to help. I'm sure he knows what to do. Nothing will happen. Just relax."

Seeing her mother frowning, Shen Rong thought for a moment and decided to express her guess to make her mother happy.

"Mom, I haven't had my period this month." Shen Rong said as she subconsciously looked at her lower abdomen.

Lu came back to her senses immediately. She followed Shen Rong's gaze and saw her daughter's lower belly. She immediately understood what Shen Rong meant.

"Could it be... that you are pregnant? You...consummated your marriage with Changsheng..." Mrs. Lu looked at her daughter in disbelief.

After her daughter married Changsheng, Mrs. Lu had already prepared herself for her daughter to never have children in her life, but she didn't expect that the surprise would come so suddenly.

Shen Rong nodded, then shook her head, "Mom, it's still a short time. I'm just suspicious and not sure yet..."

Mrs. Lu didn't care what her daughter said. She looked at her daughter's face, then at her belly, and said with a smile, "Changsheng is not that stupid..."

Shen Rong's face turned red, and she said embarrassedly: "Mom, we can only confirm it after taking your pulse..."

Mrs. Lu carefully helped her daughter into the house and sat down beside the bed. "Your period has always been on time. This time it has not come. You must be pregnant. There is no mistake. Do you feel anything in your body now?"

Shen Rong thought about it and told him about her recent fatigue and drowsiness.

"Yes, she is definitely pregnant. Have you told Changshengnai?" Mrs. Lu was so excited that she had completely forgotten about her little son who was far away in the county town.

Shen Rong shook her head. "Mom didn't have much time left. I was afraid I might make a mistake, so I didn't tell her."

"You're right to be cautious. This is your first pregnancy, and you're not sure yet, but you're shouting it out. If you make a mistake, it will be a joke. What's more, Changsheng is still like this. I don't dislike him, but if it makes a fool of himself, there will definitely be a lot of people in the village who will make sarcastic remarks. Let's not give others the opportunity to gossip."

Lu said, still a little worried, "How about you go back and stay with me for a few days, and come back when everything is confirmed?"
