On the wedding day, Zhang Qing stood in front of the mirror and sorted out her makeup. She took a deep breath and looked at herself in the mirror with a determined look. Today is the most important day in her life, she will officially enter the palace of marriage with her beloved Zhang Ming.
"Zhang Qing, are you ready?" Zhang Ming gently pushed open the door and looked at Zhang Qing with a smile.
"Well, I've got everything in place. Zhang Qing turned around and responded gently.
"I can't believe we're finally getting married. Zhang Ming stepped forward and hugged Zhang Qing and said excitedly, "I'm really happy to be able to spend the rest of my life with you." "
"Me too, Ming, I really love you so much. Zhang Qing stretched out her hand and hugged Zhang Ming, feeling the surging happiness in her heart.
At this moment, Aunt Zhang knocked on the door and walked in. Aunt Zhang is Zhang Ming's mother, and she has always had a lot of complaints about Zhang Qing.
"Kids, the wedding is about to begin, come out quickly. Aunt Zhang frowned and said, "By the way, Zhang Qing, when you are serving tea later, you have to remember to kneel down, this is our family tradition." "
Zhang Qing's smile froze on her face, and she felt her heart beat wildly. Get on your knees? This is something she never thought about. As a modern woman, she has always sought independence and is never willing to submit to the demands of others.
"Mom, this isn't quite right. Zhang Ming tried to persuade Aunt Zhang, "We can discuss it, we don't necessarily have to kneel down." "
"What? Aunt Zhang's tone rose sharply, "This is our family's tradition, and you must abide by it." Zhang Qing, I hope you can understand my thoughts and give our family some face. "
Zhang Qing looked at Aunt Zhang, and her heart was entangled. She knew that if she didn't obey Aunt Zhang's request, the wedding would probably fall into chaos. However, she also cannot go against her own principles and submit to the will of others.
"Mom, I understand your thoughts, but I really don't really want to kneel. Zhang Qing said cautiously, "This is not in line with my values, I hope you can understand me." "
"What? How dare you say that!" Aunt Zhang's face suddenly became gloomy, "Zhang Ming, how did you educate your fiancée? How can she treat our family's traditions like this?"
Zhang Ming looked at the two women in embarrassment, he knew that he was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he didn't want to offend his mother; On the other hand, he didn't want to hurt Zhang Qing's feelings.
At this moment, Zhang Qing suddenly turned around and walked out of the room without looking back. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she clenched her teeth to keep herself from crying.
"Zhang Qing, stop me!" Aunt Zhang shouted angrily, but Zhang Qing didn't look back.
Zhang Qing walked out of the wedding scene quickly, her heart was full of all kinds of complicated emotions. On the one hand, she really loves Zhang Ming and longs to grow old with him; On the other hand, she couldn't accept Aunt Zhang's request, which completely violated her values.
"Zhang Qing, wait!" Zhang Ming chased after him and eagerly stopped Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing stopped and turned to look at Zhang Ming. Her eyes were already red, but she held back her tears and kept them from falling.
"Zhang Ming, I'm really sorry, but I really can't accept your mother's request. Zhang Qing said softly, "I know this may cause you a lot of trouble, but I hope you can understand me." "
"Zhang Qing, I know what you think. Zhang Ming stepped forward and gently shook Zhang Qing's hand, "But can you think about it again?" I know this is our family's tradition, but I also understand your position. If you really don't want to, I won't force you. "
"Ming, I'm really sorry. Zhang Qing shook her head, "I know this must be difficult for you. But I really can't accept this practice, it's not in line with my values. I hope you understand me. "
Zhang Ming was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "I understand, Zhang Qing." I'll explain it to my mom and I hope she understands. "
"Ming, I'm sorry. Zhang Qing said softly, "I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble." "
"It's okay, Zhang Qing. Zhang Ming looked at her gently, "I know that you are making this decision out of your own principles. I will always support you. "
Zhang Qing nodded, a look of gratitude in her eyes. The two of them stood there silently, neither of them saying anything more.
At this moment, Aunt Zhang walked out angrily, anger written all over her face.
"Zhang Qing, you stop me!" Aunt Zhang shouted sharply, "How dare you do this at our family's wedding? Do you know how much face you have lost to our family?"
Zhang Qing took a deep breath, then raised her head and looked directly into Aunt Zhang's eyes: "Aunt Zhang, I'm sorry, but I really can't accept your request." This is not in line with my values, and I hope you can understand. "
"What? How dare you say that?" Aunt Zhang's voice became higher and higher, "Do you know how much trouble you will bring to our family by doing this? Can't you just do something to kneel down for the sake of our family's face?"
"Mom, please calm down. Zhang Ming tried to persuade Aunt Zhang, "We can discuss it, we don't necessarily have to kneel down." "
"Discuss, discuss, discuss?" Aunt Zhang turned her head and glared at Zhang Ming, "You actually helped her, did you also take it badly by her?"
Zhang Qing looked at the scene in front of her, and her heart was mixed. She knew that her decision would definitely cause a lot of trouble to Zhang Ming and his family. However, she also could not go against her own principles and submit to the demands of others.
"Aunt Zhang, I'm really sorry. Zhang Qing said softly, "But I really can't accept your request." I hope you understand my position. "
"What? How dare you say that?" Aunt Zhang trembled with anger, "Do you know how much trouble your family will bring by doing this? Can't you just do something to kneel down for the sake of our family's face?"
Zhang Ming looked at the two women and fell into a dilemma in his heart. He knew that if Zhang Qing did not obey Aunt Zhang's request, the wedding would probably fall into chaos. However, he also understood Zhang Qing's position and didn't want to hurt her feelings.
"Mom, I know this is our family tradition, but I also understand Zhang Qing's thoughts. Zhang Ming said cautiously, "Can we discuss it again and see if there are any other solutions?"
"Discuss, discuss, discuss?" Aunt Zhang was still furious, "Are you also ruined by her?
At this moment, Zhang Qing took a deep breath, then turned around and walked away without looking back. She knew that her decision might cause Zhang Ming a lot of trouble, but she couldn't go against her principles.
Zhang Ming hurriedly chased after him, wanting to keep Zhang Qing, but Zhang Qing did not stop. He looked at Zhang Qing's back anxiously, his heart full of helplessness and pain.
"Zhang Qing, wait!" Zhang Ming shouted anxiously, "You can't just leave!"
However, Zhang Qing did not respond to his call, but walked out of the wedding scene step by step. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she still didn't look back.
At this moment, Aunt Zhang came over angrily, her face full of anger and incomprehension.
At this moment, Zhang Qing's voice suddenly sounded: "Zhang Ming, I want to talk to you." "
Zhang Ming turned his head and saw Zhang Qing standing not far away, with a determined look on his face.
"Zhang Ming, I know this must be difficult for you. Zhang Qing stepped forward and shook Zhang Ming's hand, "However, I hope you can understand my position." I couldn't go against my principles and do something that went against my heart. "
"Zhang Qing, I also understand your thoughts. Zhang Ming gently held Zhang Qing's hand, "But, do you know that this is also difficult for me? I don't want to hurt my family, and I don't want to give up the opportunity to be with you." "
"Zhang Ming, I know this is going to be tough for you. Zhang Qing sighed, "However, I hope you can support my decision." I didn't want to put you in a dilemma, so I decided to leave. "
"What? You're leaving?" Zhang Ming's eyes widened, "You can't do this, aren't we going to get married?"
"Zhang Ming, I'm sorry. Zhang Qing said softly, "However, I can't accept your mother's request. It's not in line with my values, and I can't go against my own principles. So, I decided to give up this marriage. "
"Zhang Qing, you can't do this!" Zhang Ming said eagerly, "We have come this far, you can't just give up our feelings like this." "
"Zhang Ming, I'm sorry. Zhang Qing gently kissed Zhang Ming's cheek, "However, I hope you can understand my choice." I didn't want to put you in a dilemma, so I decided to leave. "
After speaking, Zhang Qing turned around and walked out of the wedding scene without looking back. Zhang Ming looked at her back, his heart full of helplessness and pain.
"Zhang Qing, stop me!" Aunt Zhang chased after her angrily, "Why did you do this? Do you know how much face you have lost to our family?"
However, Zhang Qing did not respond to Aunt Zhang's call, but walked out of the wedding scene step by step. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she still didn't look back.
Zhang Ming stood in place, looking at Zhang Qing's back, his heart full of struggle and helplessness. He knew he had to make a choice, but whichever side he chose, he would hurt the other.
"Zhang Ming, whose position are you on?" Aunt Zhang asked sharply, "How can you help her and make her treat our family's traditions like this?"
Zhang Ming was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Mom, I understand your thoughts, but I also understand Zhang Qing's position. We should respect everyone's values and choices. "
"What? You're helping her, too?" Aunt Zhang trembled with anger, "Are you also spoiled by her, how can you treat your mother like this?"
"Mom, please calm down. Zhang Ming tried to reassure Aunt Zhang, "I'm not helping Zhang Qing, but trying to find a mutually acceptable solution." "
Zhang Ming sighed, he knew that it would be difficult for him to convince Aunt Zhang to change his position. However, he couldn't bear to see Zhang Qing hurt for the sake of his principles.
"Mom, I know this is our family tradition, but I also hope you can understand Zhang Qing's thoughts. Zhang Ming tried to persuade, "We can discuss it and see if there are other ways to show respect for the family." "
"Mom, please calm down. Zhang Ming tried to reassure Aunt Zhang again, "I know this is important to you, but I also hope that you can understand Zhang Qing's position." Maybe we can find a compromise?"
"Compromise?" Aunt Zhang sneered, "In my opinion, only Zhang Qing's complete obedience to my requirements is the best way." If you can't get her to make this decision, then your marriage is over!"
Zhang Ming felt a heaviness in his heart. He knew that if he insisted on Zhang Qing's position, he might have serious conflicts with his mother. However, if he chooses to support Aunt Zhang, he will hurt the person he loves the most.
In this dilemma, Zhang Ming fell into a deep entanglement. He loves Zhang Qing and can't bear to hurt her; But at the same time, he could not go against his mother's wishes, which would put a lot of pressure on the family.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded: "Zhang Ming, you are here." "
Zhang Ming looked up and saw that it was his father Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang has always been the backbone of the family, and his appearance made Zhang Ming feel a little comforted.
"Dad, you're here. Zhang Ming said urgently, "I don't know what to do, Mom, she has always insisted that Zhang Qing kneel down, but Zhang Qing resolutely refused." What should I do?"
Zhang Bo was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Zhang Ming, I can understand your trouble. This is indeed a tricky question. "
Zhang Ming looked at Uncle Zhang eagerly, hoping to get some guidance from him.
"Dad, can you help me figure it out? I really don't know what to do. Zhang Ming said earnestly.
Uncle Zhang sighed, and then said, "Zhang Ming, I know this is not easy for you. However, I also understand Zhang Qing's position. We should respect everyone's values. "
However, Mom has always insisted that Zhang Qing kneel down. Zhang Ming said anxiously, "If I can't let her do this, my mother will say that our marriage is over." "
"Zhang Ming, I know this is going to be tough for you. Zhang Bo said softly, "However, I hope you can stick to your principles and support Zhang Qing's decision." "
"But, Dad, I don't want to hurt Mommy's feelings. Zhang Ming said helplessly, "What should I do?"
"Zhang Ming, I understand your feelings. Uncle Zhang stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Ming's shoulder, "However, I hope you can understand that a real family is not built on the basis of compulsion and obedience. "
Zhang Ming was silent for a moment, then looked up at Uncle Zhang: "Dad, do you mean, should I support Zhang Qing's decision?"
"That's right, Zhang Ming. Uncle Zhang nodded, "I hope you can stick to your principles and support Zhang Qing's choice." This is the real family. "
"But, Mom, she's going to be angry. Zhang Ming said hesitantly, "I don't want the family to fall into conflict." "
"Zhang Ming, I know this is not easy for you. "However, I hope you can understand that a true family is not based on compulsion and obedience. We should respect everyone's choices and maintain family harmony with understanding and tolerance. "
Zhang Ming was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Dad, I understand." I will support Zhang Qing's decision. "
"Very good, Zhang Ming. Uncle Zhang patted Zhang Ming's shoulder lightly, "I believe that as long as you maintain this relationship with your heart, you will be able to get out of this predicament and find your own happiness." "
Zhang Ming looked at Uncle Zhang gratefully, and the entanglement in his heart was finally relieved. He knows that no matter how difficult it is, as long as he sticks to his principles, he believes that he will be able to find his own happiness.
"Dad, what should I do now?" Zhang Ming asked.
"You go to Zhang Qing first and have a good talk with her. "Tell her that you support her decision and are willing to face future challenges with her." "
Zhang Ming nodded, then turned around and walked out of the wedding scene quickly, looking for Zhang Qing's traces. He knows that as long as they have each other's support and understanding, they will be able to get through this difficult time together and find their own happiness.
At the same time, Aunt Zhang was still standing in place, trembling with anger. She couldn't understand why Zhang Ming supported Zhang Qing, which was completely contrary to her ideas.
"Uncle Zhang, how can you do this?" Aunt Zhang asked angrily, "How can you support Zhang Qing and let her treat our family's traditions like this?"
Uncle Zhang was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Auntie, I understand your thoughts. However, I hope you can understand that a true family is not based on compulsion and obedience. We should respect everyone's choices and maintain family harmony with understanding and tolerance. "
"What? You're helping her, too?" Aunt Zhang trembled with anger, "Are you also spoiled by her? How can you treat your son like this?"
"Auntie, please calm down. Uncle Zhang tried to reassure Aunt Zhang, "I'm not helping Zhang Qing, but trying to find a mutually acceptable solution." "
"Solution? What solution?" Aunt Zhang sneered, "In my opinion, only Zhang Qing's obedience to our family's tradition is the best solution. "
Uncle Zhang sighed, he knew that it would be difficult for him to convince Aunt Zhang to change his position. However, he couldn't bear to see Zhang Ming and Zhang Qing hurt for the sake of their principles.
"Auntie, I know this is our family's tradition, but I also hope you can understand Zhang Qing's thoughts. Zhang Bo tried to persuade, "We can discuss it and see if there are other ways to show respect for the family." "
"Discuss, discuss, discuss?" Aunt Zhang's eyes widened, "Don't you know that this is the rule of our family? If Zhang Qing is unwilling to abide by it, then she is not worthy of being our family's daughter-in-law!"
"Auntie, please calm down. Uncle Zhang tried to reassure Aunt Zhang again, "I know this is important to you, but I also hope that you can understand Zhang Qing's position." Maybe we can find a compromise?"
"Compromise?" Aunt Zhang sneered, "In my opinion, only Zhang Qing's complete obedience to my requirements is the best way." If you can't get her to make this decision, then your family is over!"
