After some time had passed, Brother Ma encountered an incident during a routine flight due to a mechanical failure. Fortunately, he managed to parachute in time to save his life, although he was injured and hospitalized.
Upon hearing this news, Ashan's sister hurried anxiously to Tainan to visit. When she returned, Ashan's mom said to her, "I see Ma Yingding as my son. You cannot invest true emotions in him. His profession is too dangerous. You can only be friends with him as an ordinary friend, treating him like a brother. Otherwise, I won't allow you to see each other again!"
Ashan's sister burst into tears upon hearing this, saying, "Mom! We truly love each other. Please don't stop us. I've always obeyed you, but on this matter, I cannot listen. Please forgive me."
Ashan's mom replied, "I'm doing this for your own good! I can't bear the thought of you coming back one day with a child, telling me Ma Yingding died in a plane crash. I couldn't handle that blow. You're young and beautiful, you won't have trouble finding an ideal partner. Think it through carefully!"
With tears in their eyes, the mother and daughter argued over love. Neither was truly at fault. Who was in the wrong?
One day, Uncle Lin and a distant relative, Uncle Fu from Singapore, visited Ashan's parents. Uncle Fu was a childhood friend of Ashan’s father from Singapore. They hadn't seen each other since Ashan’s father returned to China to serve in the military. Now, both with gray hair, they felt a rush of sentimentality. However, when they talked about their children, smiles gradually appeared.
When Ashan’s father mentioned that his daughter was now of marriageable age and charming, Uncle Fu eagerly asked to see a photo. After viewing it, Uncle Fu praised her, comparing her beauty to that of the famous actress Lucilla You Ming, which delighted Ashan’s parents.
Uncle Fu then mentioned a friend named Mr. Chen, a Malaysian overseas Chinese leader, who had a son returning from Australia and was looking for a suitable wife.
Ashan’s father became displeased upon hearing this because he harbored a grudge against a Chen family member who caused trouble during their refuge in Singapore years ago. This family feud still weighed heavily on his mind, and he promptly refused Uncle Fu's suggestion.
Undeterred, Uncle Fu turned to persuade Ashan’s mom. He argued that the old grievances were over fifty years old, and times had changed. Besides, this Chen family might not be related to their past foes. Marrying into their family would be a good thing in the Singapore-Malaysia Hainanese community.
After much persuasion from Uncle Fu, Ashan’s mom reluctantly handed over the photo of Ashan's sister to him.
隔了些時日，馬大哥在一次的例行飛行中，因為飛機機械故障出了事，還好及時跳傘保住了性命，不過也還是受了傷住院。
阿三姐聽到這個消息，心急如焚的趕到了台南去探望。回來後阿三媽跟她說：「我把馬英鼎看成是兒子，妳不能付出真感情。他的職業太危險了。你只可以和他做個普通朋友，把他當作是兄長。不然的話，我就不准你們再來往！」
阿三大姐一聽，眼淚立刻奪眶而出，說道：「媽！我們是真心相愛，請妳不要阻止我們。我一向都是聽妳的話，但是這件事我不能聽妳的，請妳原諒。」
阿三媽再說：「我是為妳著想啊！我不願意有天看到妳帶著孩子回來，告訴我馬英鼎摔飛機死了。我是無法承受這個打擊。妳年輕貌美，不愁找不到理想的對象。想清楚一點吧！」
一對母女，各懷著淚水，都是為了愛在爭辯著。最後大姐是躲進臥房裏哭，阿三媽在房外一直掉著眼淚。說來誰都沒有錯，那到底是誰錯了呢？
某日，林叔與一位遠自新加坡的遠房親戚符叔叔，來拜訪阿三爸媽。這位符叔叔是阿三爸在新加坡小時候的玩伴。自阿三爸返國從軍後就未見過面，兩人相見已是兩鬢白髮，感傷良多。但談及雙方子女，卻漸展笑顏。
當阿三爸提及阿三大姐已是荳蔻之年，又婉約可愛時，符叔趕緊要阿三爸拿出照片看看。待看過照片後，符叔直誇大姐人似桃花，真可媲美電影紅星尤敏，逗得阿三爸媽好不歡心。
符叔接著提起有位老鄉暨好友姓陳，係馬來西亞僑領。有一獨子，方自澳洲學成回國。陳先生正為其獨子尋覓合適的媳婦。
阿三爸聽了頗為不快，因為當年避難新加坡，正是陳姓鄉親所陷。這段家仇仍然牢記在心，如今怎可再談及結親之可能，當場就拒絕了符叔。
符叔不死心，轉向阿三媽遊說。這段舊事已經過了五十幾年，時代也早已變遷，大可不必為封塵往事計較。何況此陳姓人家，又不見得是當年之陳家。如果結為親家，在新馬海南僑界，也不失為美事一椿。
在符叔鍥而不捨再三相勸之下，阿三媽只好把阿三大姐的照片，交給了符叔。
