Three Women in the Cage

Yang Su chuckled and changed the subject, "Mom, is my eldest sister back? I'll go in to find my sister." He turned around, picked up Huanhuan and ran to the bedroom.

Before he even entered the door, he shouted excitedly, "Sister, I'm back."

Yang Yu looked at the lively and energetic Yang Su, which made her happy too. "You still remember to come back. You were out all day? I haven't seen you for a long time since I came back." Although she wanted to give her a lecture, she couldn't hide her affection for her lively little sister.

"Hey, elder sister, I haven't seen you for a long time. Stop lecturing me and let me see my little niece," she said as she took the child from Yang Yu's arms.

"Wow, so cute. Do you have a name for it?" Yang Su asked casually while fiddling with her little face.

"I chose Zhang Ya, and my nickname is Yaya."

"Yaya, that sounds really nice. Come, Huanhuan, look at your sister. You will be the big sister from now on, so be happy," Yang Su pulled Huanhuan over and asked her to tease the baby as well.

"Hurry up and take Huanhuan out to eat. If you have anything to say, we can talk after dinner," Yang's mother said to Yang Su as she approached with a bowl of food.

Seeing Yang's mother handing the food to Yang Yu, Yang Su put the child back into bed and took Huanhuan out to eat.

After dinner, Yang Su took Huanhuan for a walk around the village, and Yang Yu lay on the bed and held Yaya in his arms to coax her to sleep.

When he was about to fall asleep, the door was gently pushed open. Yang Yu turned around and saw Yang Su coming in holding the sleeping Huanhuan.

"Sister, this girl is tired from playing and has fallen asleep. I want to sleep with you today. Or should I hold her and let her sleep with her parents?" Yang Su walked over and asked softly.

"Okay, I just want to talk to you. She is fast asleep and won't wake up no matter where you sleep. Just let her go and come over to sleep," Yang Yu replied.

Yang Su quietly carried Huanhuan to Yang's mother's side. After returning, he squeezed in with Yang Yu and lay on the bed.

"Sister, I heard from my parents that you have not had a good life over there. Now it seems that it is not just ordinary bad. Now that you have two children, have you ever regretted it?" Yang Su said sullenly.

"What's the use of regretting? I still have to live my life. For the sake of my children, I have to grit my teeth and persevere. Besides, this is my own choice."

"Susu, you are still young. You can't follow my old path. When dating a man, don't just look at his face. No matter how good-looking his face is, it can't be used to make a living. After you get married, you have to earn money for everything. If your man doesn't have the ability to earn money, you have to earn it yourself. You will be the one who suffers. Look at me now. I can't rely on you, Erfa, for anything. Now I have two more children. Life is even more difficult," Yang Yu sighed.

"Eldest sister, he is different from Erfa. He is the only son of his parents. His parents take care of him at home and outside. He said that I don't need to worry about him, and I really like him," Yang Su said frankly.

"After you marry him, his parents will have the final say. Can you guarantee that he will still stand by you?"

"Besides, he lives just a few villages away and you don't know him well. It is said that he often joins a group of people in fights. This kind of person is unreliable and cannot stand on his own. You will be the one who suffers then," Yang Yu said with great disapproval.

"Sister, I know. I haven't thought too much about it now. Maybe in the future it will be like what you said, and maybe I will regret it one day, but I just like him now, I like him very much. Even if there are thorns and bumps ahead, I want to move forward according to my heart, otherwise I am afraid that I will regret it if I miss it."

"I admit that I liked his face at first, but later I fell in love with his uninhibited and carefree nature, his cynical side, and his gentle kindness towards me alone. I felt unprecedented happiness with him, and no one else caught my eye anymore," Yang Su said with shining eyes.

Yang Yu looked at his younger sister's eyes shining as she talked about that man, and recalled the first time he saw Zhang Erfa. It was also at that moment that he was completely captivated and fell head over heels. At that time, his eldest brother Yang Yi had tried to persuade him, but he still plunged into it without hesitation.

Suddenly she understood a little, but also felt a little sorry, afraid that she would end up like herself. She tried to persuade her again, "Susu, you have to know that you are different from me back then. You are young and beautiful, and there are so many people who like you. Maybe if you wait a little longer, you will meet someone better than him?"

Yang Yu had always known that her younger sister was beautiful. She had been doted on by her family since she was little, had a gentle personality, and spoke in a pleasant way. Her parents also favored her. Deep down, Yang Yu envied her: her youth, her beauty, the way everyone held her in their arms, her constant smile. Yang Yu wasn't actually ugly, but she felt inferior, labeling herself ugly. She always felt, consciously or unconsciously, that her ugliness was the reason she was unlovable.

Yang Yu knew that Yang Su probably didn't hear what he said, but he still emphasized one point, "You are a girl, you should keep your mouth shut and not let others gossip about you. I heard from my mother that you stayed at their house, but your parents haven't met to get engaged yet, so how can you just stay at the boy's house? If you really like him, discuss it with your parents, and have both parents meet and talk it over."

"Sister, my parents will definitely not agree, and I don't dare to do that either. Please help me talk to them."

"You have to see what the man says. You can't just ask your parents to go over. If he really wants to be with you, you should let him bring his parents over and propose to you properly."

Yang Su suddenly fell silent, and said with a hint of embarrassment, "Sister, his family actually arranged a marriage for him, but he said he doesn't like that woman. He said he only wants to be with me, so his parents don't like me very much." After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "But I really like him, sister. My parents will definitely not agree. What should I do?"

"According to what you said, their family will never come to propose marriage, and my parents will never agree. So what are you doing? My parents probably don't know that he is already engaged. If they knew, they would beat you to death. You are really too ignorant." Yang Yu didn't expect that his little sister would be entangled with such a complicated person.

"If you are together without the approval of both sets of parents, you will only be criticized by others in the future. Don't you want to go through the marriage process? Why do you have to sacrifice your reputation for him?" Yang Yu couldn't help but scolded in a low voice.

Yang Su lay on the bed with her eyes closed. "I don't know, elder sister, why do two people have to have their parents' consent for them to be together? Shouldn't it be that two people like each other? Before, both parents agreed, and we went through the marriage process, but look at you now, are you happy? You may not even know if Brother Erfa is with you because he likes you?"

Yang Yu was suddenly stunned. Yes, so what if both parents agreed, and so what if they went through the marriage process? Zhang Erfa certainly didn't want to be with her in the first place, so who was right and who was wrong?
