Gu Jiuyan remembered that his wife liked to dip dumplings in vinegar, so he found a small bowl and poured some aged vinegar into it.

The old vinegar can neutralize the greasiness of the meat-filled dumplings. Shen Yunshu eats each of the delicate, small and plump dumplings in one bite.

After dinner, Shen Yunshu called Wan Xinyu aside and handed him a very thick red envelope.

No need to guess, everyone knows there is money inside.

Wan Xinyu felt it was a little hot to the touch, so he returned the red envelope to Shen Yunshu, but Shen Yunshu refused to take it.

"After living a good life, it's inevitable that you'll feel a little uncomfortable when you go through hard times. You can spend this money, but you still have to pay me back when you make money in the future."

“Grandpa Shen gave it to me yesterday, and I have money.”

"They don't conflict with each other. Just take it if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you want to get beaten?" After saying that, Shen Yunshu waved his fist at him.

Wan Xinyu immediately backed off and decisively put the red envelope back into his pocket.

A smile appeared on Shen Yunshu's face, and she also reminded him to call home more often, at least to let them all know whether he was doing well outside.

He will always be a part of this family.

Wan Xinyu agreed readily.

With everyone reluctant to let him go, Wan Xinyu left by car.

Wan Xinyu, who had not stepped into the house for a long time, stood at the door and did not have the courage to take a step forward for a moment.

He couldn't remember the last time he went home. He only remembered his family cursing him and asking him to compromise on his marriage.

Yes, without the Zhang family, there will still be the Li family, the Wang family, the Liu family... As long as they want, as long as they are willing, they can manipulate his marriage and his life at will.

The days of being a puppet following the routine were too tiring. He didn't want to and wasn't willing to live that kind of life.

However, running away all the time is not a solution. If his family has not changed their minds, then he can only... break away from this family completely.

Tears welled up in Wan Xinyu's eyes and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists. After preparing himself mentally, he walked into the house.

When Father Wan came home from get off work and saw his beloved son's back, he took two or three steps forward and found that it was indeed his son.

"You little brat, you don't even respect me as your father. You've been out for so long and there's not even a letter from me. Are you trying to drive me crazy..."

Although Wan's father has a weak temper, he is the one who loves Wan Xinyu the most in the family. He has argued with his family members about Wan Xinyu's marriage, but in front of his strong wife and authoritarian old father, he is just like taking off his pants to fart, without any hesitation.

When Wan Xinyu saw his father crying, he immediately panicked and hurriedly wiped his tears with his hands, but the more he wiped, the more tears came.

"Son, your mother would be very happy if she knew you were back." Father Wan, who was worried that his son would disappear, grabbed his hand and went into the house.

Seeing her son come back, Wan's mother was delighted, but when she thought of what he had done, her expression suddenly turned serious: "What? Did you run out of money? Did you know you were coming back?"

Wan Xinyu looked at his biological mother who seemed so unfamiliar to him and was stunned without saying a word.

Father Wan was worried that the two would start arguing again, so he quickly stepped in between them to act as a peacemaker.

"Wife, our son must have suffered a lot out there. As a mother, you should stop being angry with him." After saying that, he turned to Wan Xinyu and said, "Son, your mother hasn't slept well since you ran away from home. She's worried about you."

With the mediation of Wan's father, the mother and son reached a temporary reconciliation.

After seeing his grandson come home, Old Man Wan finally held back all the words he had in his heart.

Wan Xinyu had a rare two days of peace and quiet. Just as he was thinking about his next plan, his mother brought home two photos.

"This is the daughter of the Zheng family. Her father is the director of the Revolutionary Committee, and her mother is the director of a textile factory. This girl has only a high school diploma and works in an office. She's also very pretty, and she's a perfect match for you."

Seeing that her son was unmoved, Wan's mother took out another photo and introduced it to him.

"This is the girl from the Han family, Han Jiayu. She's the only daughter in the family. Her father works at the Ministry of Finance, and her mother is the director of our city's Public Security Bureau. Although Jiayu is a bit fat, her family background is pretty good. The Han family said that if you two can succeed, they will do their utmost to support you in the future..."

Wan Xinyu frowned and interrupted his mother: "Mom, don't mention this anymore. I won't get married."

"What do you want to do if you don't get married? Are you going to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?" Wan's mother became furious.

Wan Xinyu scoffed, "What's wrong with being single? Why do people have to get married?"

Spending a lifetime with someone you don't love is a very painful existence. He has someone hidden in his heart and is destined to not bring happiness to another girl. Marriage will also ruin her.

"Wan Xinyu, I don't care what you think. You must choose one of these two people today, or I will die."

After saying that, Wan's mother slammed the photos on the table and asked Wan Xinyu to choose.

Wan Xinyu's face was filled with pain. He looked at his mother in front of him and smiled mockingly:

"You are forcing me, just like last time. Every time you force me to do something I don't like. Mom, am I your biological son?"

"It is because you are my own son that I have to push you. Son, you are still young now, and you will understand my painstaking efforts in the future.

If a man marries the right person, it can save him twenty years of detours in his future career."

"I will never understand, and I don't want to understand. Just give up on this idea. I will not marry them." Tears flowed across Wan Xinyu's eyes.

Mother Wan looked at her stubborn son, her anger rising in waves. "Are you going to watch me die?"
