Seeing him remain silent, she sat on the edge of the floor seat and continued, "I know I may be meddling, but it's for your own good. I figure while I'm still young, I can help take care of the children, making things a bit easier for you all then."
"I'm not insisting you marry anyone in particular. Both Grandma and I hope you'll find someone you truly like to marry."
"You don't usually like to go out and play with Tie Dan and them, always sticking to me, so you hardly meet any young girls. I just thought I'd help you keep an eye out."
He was still silent, so she asked, "Do you have a girl you fancy? If you do, just tell me. The family will definitely agree, no one will say no."
The young man's hand in the bedclothes tightened slightly. He didn't want attention; he had already made up his mind.
But he didn't dare say it.
"Sister-in-law, can I wait two more years?"
Two more years would be enough.
