Dai Old Madam is a very mild and doting elderly lady who adores the younger generations.
At many tis, she is very rational and never spoils any of her younger relatives. Even towards herself, she is often restrained.
She is firmly resolved not to do anything that might co across as taking advantage of her age.
She knows and supports Dai Hanbo’s feelings, as a grandmother, but when it cos to fate, no one can be completely sure.
Therefore, she is very supportive of Dai Hanbo and Dai Hanmi going to Huguo Temple.
"Grandmother, you’re truly kind!" Dai Hanmi said joyfully.
"Go and arrange it. Have your third brother co here; I want to talk to him!" Dai Old Madam said kindly.
"Yes!"
Dai Hanmi went to invite Dai Hanbo. Dai Hanbo quickly ca, paid his respects, and said, "I have seen Grandmother!"
"Bobo, sit beside Grandmother. I want to talk to you," she said.
The maids and old won saw this and withdrew from the room.
Dai Hanbo respectfully sat down beside Dai Old Madam, "Grandmother, what are your orders?"
"Silly child, your Grandmother is now enjoying her twilight years, I don’t have much to command anymore. However, now that your older brothers are both married, only you remain single, I can’t help but worry about you a little more!"
"Your grandson is unfilial!"
Dai Old Madam shook her head, "Nonsense, all of you boys are filial. It’s just that you’ve always been decisive, and our family is enlightened. On many matters, we have sought each of your consents. Your older brothers chose their own brides before your mother went out to propose the marriage. You are naturally the sa; Grandmother will absolutely not force you, nor allow anyone else to force you!"
Dai Hanbo listened attentively.
He felt a warmth in his heart.
"Grandmother, thank you!" Dai Hanbo said sincerely, holding Dai Old Madam’s hand.
"Silly child, Grandmother knows your thoughts and supports you wholeheartedly. But I also want to tell you that the n of the Dai Family are all responsible and broad-minded. They do not consider gains and losses too seriously but care whether they have fought for it or not. Isn’t that right?"
Hearing this, Dai Hanbo already understood what his grandmother wanted to say.
She wanted to advise him not to take it to heart whether he ends up together with Yun Jinnian; what mattered was that he had tried. If it’s ant to be, it’s fate.
If not, it just ans the fate isn’t sufficient.
"Grandmother, I understand!"
"I know you are a good child and that you are sensible. But love in this world, although invisible and intangible, can be the most tornting. I don’t want you to get stuck in a dead end in the future!"
Dai Hanbo smiled, "Don’t worry, Grandmother, I won’t. No matter the outco, as you said, I have tried. If the fate isn’t enough, at least we have t, she has called ’Third Brother’, and even if we can’t beco husband and wife, I will treat her like a sister, just as I do with Mimi, and care for her for a lifeti!"
But this was only for others to see.
In his heart, it definitely felt different, for deep love and doting are not the sa!
Dai Old Madam looked at Dai Hanbo, her heart aching profoundly, "If Grandmother goes to ask her, and she agrees, I really wish..."
Upon hearing this, Dai Hanbo beca very anxious and quickly interrupted Dai Old Madam, saying urgently, "Please, don’t, Grandmother. Don’t force her, and don’t embarrass her. She hasn’t had it easy these years, she has endured too much hardship, shed too many tears. I can’t trouble her under the guise of love. Even if one day in the future, we could be together, I hope she marries willingly, with in her heart, not because of external influences. I can’t bear..."
