It turns out that there is such a big gap between marrying a daughter and marrying a daughter-in-law! The father embodied it vividly, laughing to death in the comment area
Chantila had always been a woman who stood tall in the sky, and her father, Mr. Chan, was a well-respected figure in the small town. However, when she proposed marriage, Mr. Shang's attitude was ridiculous. It's not that he doesn't want to give his daughter a good home, but he thinks that "the gap between marrying a daughter and marrying a daughter-in-law is too big." These words made Chantila cry and laugh at the same time.
When Chandia's best friend, Maria, the editor-in-chief of the Social-Emotional Magazine, heard about it and thought it was a great subject. She couldn't wait to find Chantia to write a lively essay on this seemingly mundane yet profound topic.
In the interview, Chantia tells Maria all sorts of interesting stories about her relationship with her father. She said that when she was a child, she always dressed up and ran to her father, eager for his praise and encouragement. But every time my father shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Girl, why do you bother so much? The daughter who married out is gone! As for his marriage, Mr. Lao Shang is even more picky, choosing his son and aunt and daughter-in-law, looking very harsh, as if he is looking for a near-perfect person worthy of handing over his daughter.
Maria couldn't help but sigh that the original statement that "the gap between marrying a daughter and marrying a daughter-in-law is too big" is not Mr. Shang's personal opinion, but a concept that has been passed down from generation to generation. In the Chantia family, this concept is carried out vividly and becomes a family tradition.
Next, Maria gradually restores the history of the Chantila family by interviewing other family members. It turned out that the ancestor of the Shang family was a person who paid attention to the right family, and he thought that his daughter was the incense of the family, and marrying it was like running water, and it was difficult to find it again. Therefore, he is extremely cautious about his daughter's marriage, and he must choose a family with the right family to be willing to marry his daughter with confidence. This belief has been passed down from generation to generation and continues to this day.
Throughout the interview, Maria felt Chantila's understanding and tolerance for her father. Although Mr. Shang's attitude was sometimes confusing, Chantia never blamed him, but embraced everything with a tolerant heart.
Finally, under the guidance of Maria, Chantia and Mr. Shang had an in-depth conversation. During this conversation, Chantila expressed her thoughts and feelings to her father. She told her father that she understood his hard work and appreciated his love for her. But she also hopes that her father can understand her, respect her choice, and believe that she has the ability to choose a good home. And Mr. Lao Shang, after listening to his daughter's words, sighed and showed a long-lost smile. He nodded silently, as if he understood his daughter's mind.
Eventually, with her father's blessing, Chantia married her beloved and began her own happy life. And Mr. Lao Shang gradually accepted this reality, learned to let go, and believed in his daughter's choice.
The ending of the story is not a perfect ending, but a new beginning. The exchange between Chantia and Mr. Lao Shang not only shortened the distance between father and daughter, but also changed the traditional concept of the Shang family. Perhaps, in the days to come, this change will continue to develop and become a new tradition of the Shang family.
