Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1118 - 1120: Waiting to Get Married

After waiting so long, all she got was a single sentence: he disagrees.

Such an answer left An’an feeling somewhat crushed. She had thought her pleading, everyone’s persuasion, would make her father agree, but it didn’t.

Standing there, tears streaming down her face, she just wanted to learn medicine, but why was it so difficult?

Old An continued, "An’an, you’re a girl, why learn medicine? Just stay home, and in a few days, your mother will contact the matchmaker to find you a husband. Once that’s settled, you can stay home and wait to marry."

An’an could hardly believe what her father said. It was time for her to find a husband, to settle down, but there was no need to rush her into marriage.

Her father was clearly using this to tie her down, to prevent her from learning medicine.

In desperation, she shouted, "Dad, I’m not getting married. I just want to study medicine."

Right after An’an shouted, before anyone could react, she ran out.

Seeing the situation, Old An quickly called An Quan, "Boss, go find your sister. Don’t let her run away."

Following Old An’s instructions, An Quan hurried out.

Nobody expected things to turn out this way. Xiaoxiao thought the matter could be easily resolved, but who would have thought Old An was so adamant?

The room fell into a long silence. After a moment, it was Yang Ming who spoke first, "Uncle An, I didn’t mean to get involved, but seeing how things have gotten tense, I’d like to share my perspective."

"Go ahead," Old An sat there, a bit unsure of himself now.

"Uncle An, I think people’s thinking should progress. A woman doesn’t necessarily have to stay home to support her husband and raise children. Women can accomplish many things, sometimes even better than men."

Take, for example, his wife, who excelled at many things compared to men.

"An’an indeed has a talent for this. Why not let her try? Maybe she’ll really excel at it."

"As for getting married, I feel that if An’an masters a skill and can make her own way in the world, she’ll meet more outstanding and knowledgeable people. Ultimately, she’ll marry someone better than if she were married off hastily now."

"Uncle An, do you think what I’m saying makes sense?"

What Yang Ming said made perfect sense, dispelling Old An’s first doubt.

But as a father, he thought his daughter could be without talents and skills, but feared she’d marry an old man.

Previously, they had no way out, but this time, they must squash the idea early.

Seeing that Old An still hadn’t relented, Xiaoxiao felt at a loss. Yang Ming had spoken clearly enough, so why didn’t it work?

She asked, "Uncle An, what are your concerns? Tell us, and we’ll help you analyze it!"

Old An still didn’t speak, just sighed. How could he say such things? Saying it would make him seem like an old man who’s thinking too much, but having a previous occurrence made him anxious.

He shook his head and said, "No, none of you should try to persuade me. An’an can’t study medicine. She should just stay home and wait to get married."

Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao couldn’t figure out what Old An was thinking, only seeing him as stubborn and old-fashioned in his thinking.

But Xue Zhiyi had a rough idea. He knew why Old An was so resolute.

He gave a wry smile. He had once taken a step for love, but it was a love that wasn’t approved by others.

To ease An’an’s father’s concerns, Xue Zhiyi spoke up, "Uncle An, I’d like to have a word with you in private."
