Chapter 370 Fear of Hard Life

etc.

What did you say?

One hundred and eighty for a flower?

You say he is poor??!

Do they have any misunderstandings about poverty?

Netizens were so shocked by the girl’s words that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Sister, are you kidding me? I gave you ten flowers worth 181 each, and you call him poor? I can't even afford to buy them myself! Anything over 10 bucks is too much for me!"

[Sure enough, the poverty in the world of the rich is different from my understanding of poverty.]

[One hundred and eighty per flower, he's really generous to you. I've been with my boyfriend for three years, and he still can't be bothered to give me a bouquet of flowers. He just says it's unnecessary and not worth it. Wouldn't it be better to use the money for flowers on food and drinks?]

[I admit that what I said just now was too intense... Anyway, I think if you like it, you can pursue it.]

[Wow, I also want flowers that cost 180 yuan each. What kind of flowers are so expensive? I've lived for over 20 years and have never seen such a thing.]

[Where are those trolls from earlier? Come out and speak up! Why are you being silent now?]

[Humph! One hundred and eighty-one. Who knows where they stole the money to buy it. What's there to be proud of?]

[People with a real heart find everything dirty. Haven't you heard people say that boys work part-time to pay for school? They save and live frugally for a few months, and how come they can't afford it anymore? I'm really impressed by people like you. You're poor for a reason.]

[Can the administrators kick these people out? They're really ruining my mood.]

"At first I didn't know that the bouquet of flowers was from him, and I only found out later by accident."

"He used all the money he saved from his monthly frugality and part-time jobs to buy the bouquet. He didn't steal it."

Shen Nanzhi listened silently, then asked thoughtfully: "Since I've given you flowers, it proves that I'm interested in you. Can't you just chase her and get her?"

[That's right. If he's willing to give you flowers, he's definitely interested in you. What are you waiting for? Just confess and win him over!]

[If you have a crush on someone, you really don't need any skills to pursue him. Maybe if you just say "I like you", he will become your boyfriend, right? ]

I think we should be cautious. This might be a trap. From your description, you must be from a wealthy family. 180 flowers wouldn't be much for you. He might be playing the long game.

"Can you please stop with all the conspiracy theories? Can't this just be pure admiration?"

[Luckily, this happened in school. If you were in society and were poor, you'd definitely not find a partner! I've experienced this firsthand. Last year, I was dating someone and thought we'd get married, but they asked for 88,000 yuan in betrothal gifts! Is this selling their daughter or marrying her off? I said 30,000 yuan at most, and that same night, they broke up with me.]

"...Is 88,000 a lot? You can't even afford that, and you're still expecting to get something for nothing? Isn't it just asking for trouble if you say it out loud?"

[This is hilarious! This is the first time I've seen myself posting my own number. Someone who doesn't know would think it's 888,000, but it's only 88,000? You deserve to be kicked out!]

Thirty thousand for a lifetime nanny? Bro, you really know how to run a business.

"I'll give you 30,000. Can you be my babysitter? Or if that doesn't work, I'll give you another 10,000. How's that? I'm very generous, right?"

[Sisters, be sure to keep your eyes open when looking for a partner. Being poor isn't scary. It's the kind of poverty that comes from being stingy and lacking ambition that's truly terrifying!!!]

[I second this. For example, the comment above is truly shocking. What era is this? 88,000 yuan is considered too much to marry a wife? The average betrothal gift here is 188,000 yuan. Wouldn't you have run away overnight?]

【……】

The barrage is polarized again.

It has become a fierce battlefield.

The girl didn't even look carefully. She only read a few words before someone quickly swiped past her.

Shen Nanzhi didn't even look at it.

The girl said, "If only it were that simple, I wouldn't be so distressed."

"I've tried to be nice to him, but he refuses any gifts I give him. If I force him on me, he'll just return them to me. I don't understand what he means."

"Did they send the flowers to the wrong person or does he really not like me? I am just being sentimental...but I really want to date him."

[Huh? You've already made your offer, so why doesn't he agree? Is there something he's hiding?]

[I don't understand. Giving you ten flowers worth 180 yuan doesn't mean I love you? Then what does love mean? When I'm with my boyfriend, we only have a spicy hot pot meal for a few dozen yuan.]

[Mala Tang tricked you into buying it? You're too easy to fool.]

[Can you please be more careful with your words? My boyfriend and I have been together for two years and we are planning to get engaged at the end of this year. He treats me very well, thank you.]

I know he's a guy without even looking at his profile. The word "cheat" is really unkind to girls. It's not like they're clueless; can't it be a mutual affection? He can't find a girlfriend himself, yet he's jealous of others.

[Haha, this kind of man is destined to live a lonely life.]

If you are as poor as I am, I think he must be feeling inferior because you have a good family background and he can't give you the best.

【That makes sense.】

My family was poor when I was little, and I had to work part-time to pay for school. Even when I met a girl I liked, I didn't dare pursue her because I knew my life was hard enough, and there was no need for her to suffer with me.

[Yes, being poor always makes one feel inferior. He may like you, but he is not as good as you financially, so he is afraid that you will despise him.]

I take back what I said earlier. I think this guy is very responsible. Think about it, if you are poor and a rich girl pursues you, would you agree or run away?

[Of course I agree. It would save me decades of hard work to be with a rich woman.]

[I've confirmed it through eye contact. You're not the right man. You're only after the money. You're simply afraid that you won't be able to give her a better life!]

[Can you have some backbone? Stop being a freeloader.]

【……】

Shen Nanzhi thought for a moment, then said: "He has an escapist mentality towards you, maybe it's because of his inherent inferiority complex."

"You grew up in a different environment than he did, and he's afraid he'll make you suffer."
