Yan Songping used his somewhat calloused fingertips to wipe away the tears on his daughter’s face. He said, "Your mother is thinking of your best interests. If you wrote a letter to Dad and something happened, Dad would regret it for the rest of his life."
"Then why did Mom want me to change my surname? I’m Yan Rou, I’m Dad’s daughter, and I should have Dad’s surname Yan!" Yan Rou felt very aggrieved, her wide tear-filled eyes staring at her father.
Sighing, Yan Songping smiled, "Your mother also did it for your good. However, you still bear the surname Yan now, showing your mother couldn’t out-argue your stubbornness!"
Affectionately tapping his daughter’s nose, Yan Songping said, "Don’t keep shedding Golden Beans, or your eyes will turn as red as a rabbit’s. Walking out like that wouldn’t be good."
"I’ll listen to Dad’s advice."
Drying her tears, Yan Rou casually wiped her face with her hand.
Yan Songping: "Now, can you tell Dad about things since you came here to work and live? For instance, why did you choose to get married now, knowing you could return to the city through college entrance exams? And, for example, what led to your breakup with a male youth you dated?"
"..."
Yan Rou puzzledly looked at her father, wondering how he knew she had dated someone after just arriving in Aoli Village.
"No need to look at me like that. Near the Youth Educated Institute, I met a local. While chatting, the local was curious about your marriage, saying you previously dated a male youth from the neighboring brigade, yet now you’re marrying the son-in-law..."
Seeing the tears well up again in his daughter’s eyes, Yan Songping quickly said, "If you’re aggrieved, just speak it out. Dad will support you, but can we not cry? Seeing you like this pains Dad!"
Yan Rou nodded vigorously, mumbling "Mhm" repeatedly, but the tears wouldn’t stop, especially when thinking about the helplessness of the breakup, nearly suffocating from the grievance.
