Parental love: If Dehua was not a young girl, would Lao Ding still like her so much?

Dehua in "Parental Love" has always been in love with the widowed Lao Ding next door. Dehua worked hard to marry Lao Ding one day.

Dehua knows that Lao Ding does not love him, and Dehua knows that Lao Ding likes women like Anjie. In order to marry Lao Ding and to impress Lao Ding, Dehua took care of Lao Ding for decades, running to Lao Ding's house every day, doing laundry, cooking, looking after the children, and helping Lao Ding sew and mend. Even if Dehua is at Anjie's house, he still cares about Lao Ding's family. Once De Hua cooks something delicious at home, he will definitely serve it to Lao Ding first.

Due to decades of silent dedication, Dehua finally impressed Lao Ding. One day, Lao Ding looked at Dehua’s busy figure and suddenly got up and proposed to her, asking Dehua to marry him.

De Hua was shocked by Lao Ding's sudden proposal. De Hua came to his senses and agreed to Lao Ding's request. On the way home, De Hua burst into tears excitedly. Dehua felt that his efforts were finally rewarded. Dehua knew how difficult it was to impress Lao Ding, who did not love him. Lao Ding's proposal was hard-won.

De Hua knew that Lao Ding despised him as uneducated and as vulgar and ignorant as his dead sister-in-law Xiu'e. Dehua knew that he had no chance of winning, so he used practical actions to prove his merit.

Lao Ding saw Dehua’s actions and efforts. Dehua and Lao Ding held a simple wedding, and they slept in the same bed at night. Starting from the next day, Dehua was surprised to find that Lao Ding's attitude towards him had changed drastically. He took good care of himself and was very loving to him. De Hua didn't know that Lao Ding was so kind to him because he found out that she was still a young lady. It was because he discovered that although De Hua had been married once, he was still virginal.

As a result, Lao Ding began to like Dehua, and his attitude towards Dehua changed 180 degrees. However, the question arises, if Dehua is not the eldest daughter of the yellow flower, will Lao Ding still like Dehua? Will Lao Ding's attitude towards Dehua change so much? Will Lao Ding still be so kind to De Hua?

The answer is no. The reason why Lao Ding married De Hua was because he was moved by De Hua's silent dedication. Lao Ding knew that Dehua loved him and was sincerely good to him. But what Lao Ding likes is not Dehua, but the traditional female virtues in Dehua.

If De Hua is not a young girl, maybe after the novelty of the early days of marriage has passed, Lao Ding's attitude towards De Hua will soon become cold, and he will start to become indifferent to De Hua, and treat De Hua in a cold way. Hua has nothing to say. Just like how Lao Ding treated Sister Xiu'e back then, although it can't be said that he hates her, at least he doesn't like her in his heart. Sister-in-law Xiu'e, like Dehua, is an authentic rural woman who has never gone to school for a day, doesn't know how to appreciate literature and art, talks loudly, and is very rude. Lao Ding doesn't like this kind of Xiu'e's sister-in-law, and naturally he doesn't like this kind of Dehua.
