"Didn't both our families know about us and silently agreed to it?"
How was it that she and Zhai Yaohui were unrelated? Weren't these relations? They were related!
Shi Peng disagreed. "Silently agreed to it? What kind of answer is this? Can things like marriage be silently agreed to? Minlan, let me tell you. You're losing out on this situation because of this attitude."
The so-called silent agreement couldn't even be considered a promise. There was no matchmaker and no certificate. If word of this spread, the Zhai family might have little reason, but their Shi family was even more unreliable.
If both families really had the intention for their children to get married to each other, why didn't they say so clearly in the first place?
Even if the Zhai family didn't say it clearly, there's still the Shi family. Didn't the Shi family have the intention to say things clearly as well?
