"I never thought you would be so anxious. You are so young, and you have already decided on your lifelong event without waiting for another look."

"But that's true. You won't find anyone better than Gu Jingmo. Just settle on him. You won't suffer any loss."

"It's really enviable. Look at you, you have a career and a husband. How can we, who have accomplished nothing, feel?"

Xia Jin looked at him like this and said with a smile:

"I'm so envious. I hope you find one soon. Didn't you say that a junior is pursuing you? Why don't you like him?"

"If you don't find a partner soon, wait until I get married and see if your dad will be anxious."

After hearing what he said, Chen Xin shook his head and said:

"Forget it. I always feel a little scared. Maybe it's because of what happened before, so I don't want to get married at all."

After hearing what he said, Xia Jin quickly comforted him:

"If you don't want to look for someone, then don't look for them. We are still young and there is no need to be so anxious. If you like someone, tell me and I will help you tell them."

"Why don't you take a look at the people around me? They're all pretty nice. Something like that would never happen to them. If you want to find someone, tell me and I'll introduce you."

"By the way, when you returned to Zhuang County this time, did you run into anyone from your mother's side during the New Year? Is the whole family still asking around about you?"

After Chen Xin heard what he said, the expression on his face changed again and again, and then he said indifferently:

"They can't afford to look for me right now. My uncle's kid is in trouble, and they're busy trying to get him out."

"And the reason their family was able to live such a good life was all thanks to my father. Now that my father is gone, there's no one to clean up their mess or help them with their relationships."

"My uncle was driven out of the city a long time ago, and they also cheated my mother out of all her money."

"Now the whole family lives in my mother's house. I heard that there are small quarrels every three days and big quarrels every five days, making the surrounding neighbors restless."

"It's all thanks to my mother's earnings that we support the whole family. With someone earning money, they become even more lazy, sitting around at home all day, eating and doing nothing, and having no skills."

"Because I'm old, my mother didn't dare to refute him because he couldn't beat so many people. Now he looks like a completely different person."

"I heard she often hangs around our old house. Maybe she regrets it now, but there's no such thing as regret medicine in this world."

"Their family treated him so badly that she thought of our family."

"You know what? The funniest thing is that after hearing about him like this, I actually felt sorry for him and thought he shouldn't be living like this."

"But then I thought, he treated me like that before, so why should I feel bad? This was his own choice. Didn't he choose his family?"

"After I figured it out, I no longer felt heartbroken. After all, my heart died the moment he decided to give up on me."

"I'll still give her what I promised her before, but we have nothing else to do with each other. No matter how miserable she is, it's none of my business."

"We didn't let them know when we went back this time. But when we were leaving, they heard the news from somewhere and secretly found where we were staying."

"But by then, we had already left that place. If I hadn't looked back, I wouldn't have seen him. But now he has become old and haggard."

"Come to think of it, he's been toiling away for the family for so many years without a break, and getting beaten and scolded all day long. If he isn't haggard, who would be?"

"Sometimes I want to stand in front of him and ask him if he regrets choosing this path. If he gives her another chance to do it again, what will she choose?"

After hearing what he said, Xia Jin said:

"If he had a chance to do it again, if he had no memory, he would still choose her family. If he had memory, he would definitely seek benefits and avoid harm."

"He knows that he has already won the election and that family will have a hard time, so he will definitely choose your family, but he may not be able to let go of your grandmother's family."

"How could there be so many opportunities for him to regret? Once you choose, you have chosen his fate. It was already determined the moment he gave up on you."

"For the sake of her giving birth to you and raising you, just give him some money every month to support him in his old age. For other reasons, don't have anything to do with him."

"After all, he might not do anything extreme, but your grandma's people are really unpredictable. They are at the end of their rope now, and who knows what shameless things they might do."

"If it's like before and they want to find someone to sell you off, what will you do then?"

After hearing what he said, Chen Xin nodded and said:

"I know. I'm not stupid. I don't want to get involved with my grandma and her people. Let them rot at home like this."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about them anymore. I originally thought that seeing them like this would make me feel happy, but it turned out not to be the case."

"I have an indescribable feeling in my heart. I'm neither happy nor sad. It's a special feeling."

"By the way, when my classmates and I were having dinner together this time, they also talked about Xia Qingqing's matter."

"I heard that a few years ago, his family owed money and wanted to run away, but he didn't. He even had his legs and arms broken by those debt collectors."

"He became a cripple. Even though he was a cripple, his temper was still as bad as ever. He loved drinking. The whole family depended on Xia Qingqing, who was struggling to support them all by herself."

"Xia Qingqing might have some problem. Even in that state, she was still frightened and trembling, not daring to run away."

"The two of them are like this. No matter how he beats and scolds them, the two of them will always be together."

"I heard from them that Xia Qingqing has completely changed now. She is no longer as bright and beautiful as she was in school. She looks like someone in her 40s."

"No one in her family cares about her. Anyway, her life is much harder than yours. This is all retribution for her."

After hearing Xia Qingqing's misery, Xia Jin didn't feel a ripple in her heart. After all, she hadn't thought of this person for a long, long time.
