"Have you said enough?" Gu Nuan's mother finally spoke up, glaring at her husband, "They're married already, what do you want to do? They're going to have a baby, do you want them to get divorced? Do you want your grandchild to be fatherless?"
Her words hit the nail on the head. She didn't start with any praise for her son-in-law, knowing Gu Nuan's father wouldn't be receptive at that moment. It was better to douse him with the cold water of reality and clear his mind.
Ordinary parents all think this way, reasoning and pleading, for the sake of their descendants, to just get by. After all, couples are like that, muddling along; you can't expect too much.
Gu Nuan's father understood all this, so when his wife threw that cold water on him, he was immediately left speechless.
He opened his mouth wanting to say something but couldn't.
