Given their family's circumstances, he should try to understand them.

Besides, all my older siblings are married, so why should they unconditionally sacrifice for him?

"Mom, I know all that you're saying, but am I really going to lose Qianqian like this?"

Should he just lose his girlfriend like this?

All I can say is that you should make your girlfriend happy through your own efforts.

Your job is good; you'll have a salary every month. Give half back to your older siblings, and save the other half for your future marriage.

I believe Qianqian's parents also consider your character. Even if you force me to my death, it won't help; we really don't have any money at home.

You are not allowed to go to your sisters either; they have a hard time in their husbands' families.

You must change your future through your own efforts, instead of constantly relying on your family.

Mo Yan has said what he needed to say; whether he listens or not is his own business.

Mo Yan stood up, preparing to go to the kitchen to cook.

All her sons have moved out, and now only she and Kangping remain.

Seeing that he didn't move, Mo Yan turned around and glanced at him. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and come help with the cooking."

Kang Ping then realized what was happening and ran over to start a fire.

Perhaps because he hadn't worked in a long time, he couldn't get the fire going no matter what he tried, and all he could get was smoke, which choked him terribly.

I coughed several times, tears welled up in my eyes, and they felt even more uncomfortable.

Mo Yan glanced at it and was speechless. "It hasn't been long, and you've already forgotten how to start a fire? We still have to dig the ground later."

The original owner wouldn't let this son see her when he came back before. Why didn't she do it? They're all sons, so they should all do the work, right?

"Oh, okay."

Kangping continued to tend the fire, believing that the problem was due to insufficient firewood.

So he brought over a lot more firewood and kept stuffing it in.

Mo Yan took a look and, good heavens, it was all stuffed full.

"Don't you know that fire needs to be hollow?"

After taking out a large pile, Mo Yan put in two or three pieces, and the fire was especially good.

Mo Yan cooked noodles, and the mother and son ate a bite each before taking him to the fields.

The land needs to be dug up now so that it can be planted with corn later. The paddy fields still need to be plowed.

During the few days that Kangping didn't go to work, he did everything.

Finally, Kangping lay on the bed, not wanting to move at all. Even if he needed to go to the toilet, he would only do so when he absolutely couldn't hold it in any longer.

There was no news for several days, which made my sister-in-law feel a little strange.

Why hasn't the mother-in-law mentioned asking for money anymore? She was thinking that if the mother-in-law lent her money, she would take the whole family to the city.

She was surprised that they didn't say anything and didn't hold a family meeting, which made her feel that something was wrong.

Things have been happening these past few days. A girl from the village named Xiaohua keeps bringing things to Kangping.

Mo Yan forbade Kang Ping from accepting the gifts, telling him that accepting gifts from girls was not a good thing.

Kang Ping obediently agreed. He was selfish, but he wasn't exactly disobedient.

On the last day, Mo Yan even took him to pick tea leaves to earn living expenses, and he ended up earning two yuan.

Kangping returned to the county and lay down in his dormitory, not wanting to get up. He only got dressed and went out after hearing that someone was looking for him.

When he saw it was his girlfriend Qianqian, he instinctively put his hands behind his back. "Qianqian, what brings you here?"

"You said you went back to discuss our matter with your mother, and you were gone for several days. I was really worried. So, what did your mother say?"

Qianqian really wanted to know what kind of person her future mother-in-law would be.

“My mom…my mom is very happy, but our family’s conditions are not good, and we may not be able to buy a house. I will even have to pay back my money and my older brother and sister for a long time. You will definitely suffer if you stay with me.”

Qianqian paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed. How could this person be so dense? Doesn't he know how to be tactful when he speaks? He's so direct; isn't he afraid she'll run away?

"What should I do? I still like you very much."

Kang Ping: "????"

"Qianqian, I'm actually quite selfish," Kangping said sadly. He could only speak his true feelings to Qianqian.

"You don't know, before this, I thought that my studying was something that made my whole family proud. I took it for granted that they would give me living expenses. But this time when I went back, my mother scolded me and made me do a lot of chores."

I only started earning money back then. Now things aren't easy at all at home. Working in the fields isn't easy, and earning money isn't easy either.

My mom even took me to pick tea leaves all day. I thought I could earn fifty or sixty yuan a day, but I only earned two yuan after a whole day.

I traveled to many places, running up and down the entire tea plantation for a whole day.

When I got home, I was completely paralyzed and unable to move.

It turns out that the living expenses they gave me were earned through their hard work.

I just went back and asked them for money to get married, as if it were perfectly normal.

Qianqian, I like you very much, but I'm not capable of giving you a good life. You'll suffer if you stay with me.
