Madam Qian hesitated and said, "I've mentioned it, but I think that since Wuyuan is just next door, just over the mountain, if the child is good, it wouldn't hurt to marry there!" She emphasized, "Your father had also said when he was alive, as long as you children are happy, we parents are fine with anything!"
Song Jiyun said nothing for a long while, then said, "If the parents are not good, how can the children possibly be happy?"
Even in future generations, girls who marry far away face many inconveniences, let alone in these times when transportation is inconvenient.
If she didn't know any better, it might be okay, but knowing it, why should she suffer like this?
But Madam Qian was persistent and said, "For your marriage, your father had checked every slightly suitable family in Liang County and still didn't find one satisfactory."
The implication was, why not try looking outside.
