"Yongshan, I heard from your sister that Su Ying introduced her to a job of sweeping toilets. Is that true?" Shen Hongbao asked Shen Yongshan with a gloomy face, knocking the pipe in his hand on the block at the door.
Shen Yongshan's face was not looking good at this time, but when facing his parents, he did not dare to show his face and could only nod.
"You, you, as the eldest brother, your sister has been bullied like this, why don't you teach her a lesson?" Shen Yongshan's mother Liu Xicui scolded with a look of disappointment on her face.
At this time, Chen Hong had her parents' support, and she began to cry and complain again.
"That's right. Su Ying likes you so much. If you had treated her a little better, would she have treated me like this? It's all your fault. I lost my good job just like that. I don't care. You have to find a way to get me into the factory. I don't want to sweep the toilet."
"Brother, this is your fault. You said that Xiaohong could help our family if she went to the factory, but you have to rely on college and can't help the family, and you don't let Xiaohong help us. It's all your fault that I can't get married." Shen Yongshan's younger brother Shen Xiaofei also said.
Shen Xiaofei is three years older than Shen Hong. He usually does nothing at home, not even working in the fields. He dreams of getting married every day.
Shen Yongshan is now working as a temporary worker in a machinery factory to earn some money to support his family. At the same time, he also has to ask questions to his high school teachers and prepare for next year's college entrance examination.
This temporary job was originally found for Shen Xiaofei by his family, but Shen Xiaofei felt tired after two days and refused to go no matter what.
The Shen family didn't want to waste this good opportunity to make money, so they had to let Shen Yongshan go in his place.
His high school teacher also lived in the staff quarters of the machinery factory. Shen Yongshan was three years older than Su Ying. Although he started school later, he was five years older than Su Ying. Coincidentally, their high school teacher was the same person.
It was for this reason that Su Ying met Shen Yongshan. It happened that she went to her high school teacher to get some information that day and met Shen Yongshan who was asking questions.
At that time, Shen Yongshan was wearing a very clean white shirt. Although the shirt looked a bit worn, it showed his elegance very well on him.
In addition, he wore a pair of glasses and was very serious when asking questions. He didn't like to laugh and always had a stern face, like an old cadre.
At first, Su Ying liked to tease him. Although Shen Yongshan always frowned, he had a good temper and didn't say anything.
Over time, Su Ying liked him more and more, to the point of being almost crazy.
When the old couple of the Shen family heard what the second son said, they felt that Shen Yongshan was even more unfilial.
"Yongshan, it's not easy for us to raise you. You've used all our money for school. Now your brothers and sisters are counting on you. Listen to mom and apologize to that damn bitch Su Ying right now. Say something nice to her and coax her back. If you can make it work with her, won't Xiaofei's Xiaohong have a job?"
Liu Xicui knew her eldest son's temperament and knew that he was filial, so he dared not disobey her.
As she spoke, she also started crying in front of Shen Yongshan. Every time she cried, Shen Yongshan would agree to whatever she asked him to do.
"Mom also knows that you like Lingling. Don't worry, as long as Xiaohong has a job and Xiaofei gets married, Mom will propose to you. When you get into college and find a job and make some money, I'll take Lingling over with me."
After hearing Ye Lingling, Shen Yongshan was indeed deflated.
Ye Lingling was the marriage arranged for him by his family. From childhood to adulthood, he always believed that Ye Lingling would marry him in the future.
In addition, Ye Lingling is indeed the type he likes, gentle and quiet, even speaking in a soft voice, and she is the person he has always wanted to marry.
Although Su Ying's family was well-off and she liked him, he just couldn't like Su Ying's arrogant and domineering personality.
But for the sake of his family, he still had to go against his own heart and please Su Ying.
The thought of this made him feel sick.
"Mom and Dad, please hold on for a few more years. Once I get into college and get a good job, our family will be able to live a good life. I don't like Su Ying and don't want to have anything to do with her."
Shen Yongshan still chose to follow his heart, but in return he was scolded and cried by his parents.
"Brother, you can't be so selfish. You will live a good life by then, but what about us?" Shen Xiaofei was very dissatisfied with Shen Yongshan's words.
Seeing this, Shen Hong also threatened, "Brother, if you still think of me as your sister, then you should find a way to coax Su Ying and ask her to introduce me to a good job. Otherwise, I will no longer recognize you as my brother."
The old couple of the Shen family loved their second son the most. Seeing that Shen Yongshan refused, Liu Xicui stood up and pushed him towards the door.
"Go away. I don't have a son as unfilial as you. People say raising a son is a way to prepare for old age. I've raised you to this age, and you can't even agree to such a small request. I'd rather die."
"Mother, close the door. From now on, I will treat my son as if he died outside." Shen Hongbao stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the house.
Shen Yongshan felt very embarrassed seeing his parents like this, but he couldn't bear the stigma of being unfilial, otherwise how could he hold his head up in the village in the future?
The people in the village care most about their reputation, and Shen Yongshan cannot bear such consequences.
Most importantly, he had no intention of severing ties with his parents.
He knew how difficult it was for his parents, and he only wanted to get into college so that he could take them to a big city to enjoy a good life in the future. But at the moment, even if he complained about his parents' lack of understanding, he still couldn't do anything about them.
"I...I promise you." Finally, under the pressure of his family, Shen Yongshan compromised.
Just then, Ye Lingling's voice appeared at the door.
"Brother Yongshan, you're back."
Ye Lingling is the most beautiful girl in their village. Many young men in the village want to marry her, but Ye Lingling only likes Shen Yongshan and turns a blind eye to their pursuit.
Shen Yongshan is such a good student and will be the only college student in their village in the future, so of course she looks down on others.
"Lingling." Shen Yongshan saw that Ye Lingling felt a little guilty and a little ashamed.
Seeing Shen Yongshan standing at the door, Ye Lingling asked in confusion, "Brother Yongshan, what are you doing here? Why don't you go in?"
Hearing Ye Lingling's voice outside, the Shen family also opened the door.
"Lingling, you're here. Come in quickly. Yongshan just came back and hasn't entered the house yet." Liu Xicui opened the door and said to Ye Lingling with a smile.
Just now they heard Shen Yongshan agree, and of course Ye Lingling would not know about this.
Compared to Su Ying, the city girl, they still like Ye Lingling the most. After all, Ye Lingling is from the countryside like them and is easier to control.
