Zhou Suisui had no classes at school that day, so she went to the store to see them after dinner.

Yanhong saw Zhou Suisui coming and gave her a handful of candy.

"What is this for? Wedding candy?" Zhou Suisui said with a smile.

Yanhong nodded shyly and said, "Sister Suisui, Zhang Ze and I are getting married on October 8th. You must come then!"

Zhang Ze came over after unloading the goods, sweating profusely, and said, "Sister Suisui, Yanhong and I are getting married. Our two families have set a date. You must come and have a drink at the wedding."

"This is good news. You two are finally getting married. Don't worry, I will definitely go when the time comes." Zhou Suisui said.

Xie Jia was standing aside, not knowing what he was thinking, his face flushed.

Who is Zhou Suisui? She immediately realized something was wrong.

"Jia Jia, is there something wrong with you?"

Xie Jia didn't want to hide it, so she said, "Sister Sui Sui, it's like this. I've recently... started dating someone, and it hasn't been long."

Zhou Suisui looked at Xie Jia, who looked very happy, and asked, "What do you think of that guy?"

"I think he treats me very well, but Sister Sui Sui, I have something to tell you. I want you to give me some advice. You know everything and are much better than me. I can't figure it out."

"You go ahead." Anyway, it was lunchtime and there were not many people in the store, so they could chat together. They had no time at all when they were busy.

"My boyfriend is a nice guy, and he treats me very well, but his family situation... He's the eldest in the family, with two younger brothers and a younger sister. They're all quite grown up, and they're not even married yet. My parents aren't very happy about this, saying it's going to be too much of a burden. But he's really good to me, and I can't bear to let him go. What do you think I should do?"

Zhou Suisui: “…”

She had a bad feeling.

"What about their family's financial situation? So you are hesitating whether to break up with him, right?" Zhou Suisui asked.

Xie Jia nodded and said, "Yes, my parents didn't like him and his family very much, so they separated us. Their financial situation is that his father is gone, and his mother is the only one raising four children. It's not easy. He is now an apprentice in a restaurant, earning 18 yuan a month. His two younger brothers don't have any proper jobs, and I don't know what they are doing. His younger sister is still in school."

"...So, the only financial source for their family now is your boyfriend, right? Can you elaborate on how he treats you well?" Not to mention Xie Jia's parents, even Zhou Suisui shook his head at this family situation.

"He works as an apprentice in a restaurant and often brings me delicious food. He has a good personality and never loses his temper with me. He always goes along with me in everything," said Xie Jia.

"What about spending money? Is he willing to spend money on you?"

"He has to take care of the family's food and clothing, so he doesn't have much money, but he will do his best to satisfy me."

"How much did you two spend on your date?"

"Half each, he really doesn't have much money on him." Xie Jia explained for him.

Zhou Suisui: “…”

"Jia Jia, I think your parents are right. They're all considering the future. His family pressure is really too heavy. Although it's said that love can satisfy one's hunger, even the deepest feelings will be worn away by reality. Do you understand?"

Xie Jia was not particularly stubborn, but thought about it seriously and nodded, saying, "Sister Sui Sui, I understand, that's why I'm considering whether to break up with him now."

"After all, this is your own business. It's up to you to decide. But my opinion is that he might not be the right one for you. Think about it carefully. Don't get too caught up in love. Look up and face reality."

"Sister Sui Sui, I understand."

Zhou Suisui saw that she had listened to what he said, so he didn't say anything more.

To put it bluntly, everyone has their own practice, and no one can make decisions for anyone else.

After Xie Jia got off work, she returned home and found her boyfriend waiting for her at the door.

"Song Xing, why are you here?" Song Xing is the man's name.

The man smiled and said, "It's not safe for a girl like you to go out too late. I just happened to be getting off work, so I thought I'd give you a ride."

Xie Jia immediately felt embarrassed.

Although his conditions are not very good, he is very good to himself.

Xie Jia was struggling internally.

She had never been in a relationship before, Song Xing was her first one, and she didn't understand many things.

But she was also happy to be with Song Xing.

"Jia Jia, is your family dissatisfied with me?" Song Xing asked in an uncertain tone.

"Why do you ask that?"

The two families had never met formally, they just knew each other. After all, the two had just been together for a short time, and her parents had never met Song Xing.

"That's just my feeling. After all, I also know that many girls would not be willing to accept my family's conditions."

Xie Jia is simple, but that doesn’t mean Song Xing knows nothing.

He had gone on blind dates with other people before, but they were scared away as soon as they heard about his family situation, so he never got married.

But there was nothing he could do about it; he couldn't get rid of his family.

Song Xing was so nervous after finally finding a partner like Xie Jia who was good in all aspects and willing to be with him, fearing that Xie Jia would change his mind and break up with him one day.

"...Song Xing, the main thing is that your family burden is too heavy. If you only have one sister, it would be fine, but you have two brothers. I'm the youngest in my family. My older brothers and sisters are all married, and I only graduated from high school. My parents don't want me to suffer."

To be honest, Xie Jia is not a love-brained person, she also considers reality.

It takes money for two people to live. She now has a stable job and earns a lot of money every month. Zhou Suisui gives them a salary increase every year, so Xie Jia's monthly salary is now about 45 yuan, more than twice that of Song Xing.

Why did she marry Song Xing? To help alleviate poverty?

When Song Xing heard what Xie Jia said, he immediately panicked.

"Jia Jia...are you breaking up with me? I will treat you well and I won't let you suffer. I know your family conditions are much better than mine, you are educated and beautiful, and I don't have much education, I'm not good looking, and I don't have a good job. I'm not worthy of you in any way, so I especially cherish the relationship between us. You should be able to feel it. Please don't leave me, okay? I will try my best to treat you well."

When Xie Jia heard this, his heart softened again.

She is a gentle girl who has never suffered any hardship since she was a child. She is very sympathetic to people like Song Xing who are eloquent and in a disadvantaged position.

"I'm not... Never mind, let's not talk about this for now."

Song Xing breathed a sigh of relief, said nothing more, and sent her home.
