Chapter 1574: Chapter 1574 Sisterly Night Talk 4

Lu Jiang didn’t come home tonight, so Feng Qingyun slept with her sister.

Feng Qingxue heard her tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and couldn’t help but say, "Settle down. Aren’t you afraid the blanket will let the cold air in with all your flipping around? All the nice warmth inside is being scattered away by you."

Feng Qingyun immediately went completely still, making Feng Qingxue burst into laughter.

"Sis."

"What is it?"

Feng Qingyun was silent for a moment. Then, in a small voice, she said, "If I like an orphan, will you be mad?"

Feng Qingxue suddenly turned her head, staring at her younger sister lying closer to the inside of the bed in the darkness. "You’ve found someone you like? You didn’t mention anything a few months ago when you were in the Capital, and you’ve never written about it in your letters."

"Sis, answer me first!" Feng Qingyun urged.

Feng Qingxue chuckled softly. "Our family values marital freedom and doesn’t care about status or wealth. As long as the person you like has a good character, treats you well, doesn’t have vices like drinking, gambling, or whoring, and won’t make you suffer—that’s enough. An orphan is still a person, no different from those with both parents. It’s just that fate hasn’t been kind to them."

"Sis, you weren’t in favor of me having contact with Wa Zhanpeng before. I thought you were very particular about family background."

"Family background has nothing to do with status or wealth. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is the most difficult puzzle in life. If your brother-in-law’s mother were alive, I can’t even imagine what my married life would be like."

After saying this, Feng Qingxue patted her sister’s head. "Besides, Wa Zhanpeng has a shrewish sister and a niece who’s practically the same as her. They’d use every possible trick to make things hard for you. What kind of family is that? Wa Zhanpeng pursued you, yet didn’t even show his face—it just caused a lot of gossip, as though you were already in his pocket. That’s what I particularly dislike. He didn’t even handle the chaos from his family properly. Of course I wasn’t satisfied. Let me tell you, family background and status are nothing compared to the person themselves."

At this point, Feng Qingxue paused for a moment. "I’ve thought about it before. If you or Fubao grow up and fall for someone whose family is complicated, but you’re set on that person, I’d have to compromise. After all, it’s the couple who’ll be living the life—not you two and their family."

Parents, perhaps, are destined to wrestle with such contradictions.

Although the mother-in-law relationship is important, marriage is ultimately about two individuals. If status and wealth don’t matter, then the mother-in-law relationship matters even less.

Feng Qingyun’s lips curved into a slight smile. "He’s wonderful—kind and gentle, a good man. Before coming to the Wucheng military base, I went with the troupe to Shanghai to perform at an orphanage. It was for that movie I made that so many people loved. The kids at the orphanage said they wanted to meet Shanzha, so the military arranged for me to go on stage and sing. He was there at the orphanage helping out. He goes there often."

"Is that how you two met?"

"Mm-hmm! He’s really patient and thoughtful, and the kids at the orphanage adore him." Feng Qingyun pursed her lips lightly. "Sis, I finally understand how you and brother-in-law decided so quickly. Falling for someone has nothing to do with time or age. Meeting him, getting to know him, and liking him—it all happened in just a few short days. He likes me too. He said his first priority is to come and visit you and brother-in-law, to give you peace of mind. He’ll be here in two days—he said he has work to sort out first, and then he’ll take leave."

Feng Qingxue blinked. Things were moving a little fast. It was a bit unbelievable.
