He Mei was surprised, "Xiao Hui, you're going out too? Do your parents agree? Don't they want you to go on blind dates and get married?"
Sun Xiaohui smiled gently but firmly, "I only want to marry Jia Hui. I won't go on blind dates or get married to anyone else. Jia Hui and I are still young. If we work hard for a few years, I think we will definitely be able to earn enough money to get married."
He Mei was a thousand times against it and unwilling, but she couldn't curse Gu Jiahui and Sun Xiaohui like she did with others, so she could only hold back. "So you're really going to go to the construction site to carry bricks?"
Gu Jiahui and Sun Xiaohui exchanged a furtive glance. "No, someone introduced Xiaohui and me to a job as a live streamer assistant. It's the kind of job you see on your phone all the time. I heard it can make a lot of money."
He Mei didn't know what a livestream assistant did, but she was relieved that it wasn't about carrying bricks. Someone from their village had once fallen from a building while working on a construction site and died instantly, so she was terrified when she heard that Ren Jin was going to take Gu Jiahui to carry bricks.
But how could He Mei bear to let Gu Jiahui leave home to work elsewhere? "Son, if you leave, it will be very difficult for your parents to see you. Aren't you trying to kill me? You're going so far away, what will we old folks do here?"
Gu Jiahui began to appeal to his emotions and reason with him, "Mom, I also want to stay at home to take care of you, Dad, Grandpa and Grandma. I also listened to you and came home after graduation. But as you can see, the wages here are really too low. If I rely on my salary in town, I will never be able to marry Xiaohui in this lifetime, and you will never be able to hold your grandson."
"Please let me go out and try, okay? I not only want to give Xiaohui a good future, but I also want my parents and grandparents to live a good life. Once I've established myself in the city, I'll bring you over. I won't abandon you."
Gu Jiahui wasn't saying this to coax He Mei. He Mei was biased, domineering, and hurtful to Gu Yueji, but to him, He Mei was wholeheartedly good to him. She had spoiled and loved him since childhood, giving him everything good she could. So he couldn't possibly forget the kindness his parents had shown him.
"Mom, you believe I will succeed, right? You believe I will take you to live a good life, right?" Gu Jiahui looked into He Mei's eyes.
A look of emotion flashed in He Mei's eyes. She understood that the wages in town were indeed not enough to live a good life. They were farmers all their lives and could not help him. Moreover, seeing Gu Jiahui becoming more and more listless, she had regretted insisting that Gu Jiahui come home. "Mom does not distrust you, but I am afraid that you will be very tired and under a lot of pressure."
Gu Jiahui understood that He Mei had agreed. He immediately raised the corners of his lips, nodded slightly to Gu Yueji who was standing in the kitchen, and then comforted He Mei, "It's normal for young people to have pressure, and we're going to my sister and brother-in-law's city, they will help us."
He Mei frowned upon hearing this. "You want to go with Zhao Di and the others? But Ren Jin has been to jail, hasn't he? He even assaulted people. You'd better not get too close to him."
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. "I think we should find a way to get them divorced. Your sister can't keep following him."
Gu Jiahui glanced at Ren Jin behind Gu Yueji and saw that his face had darkened. He quickly explained to He Mei, "Brother-in-law is actually a very good person. Look, my sister is even more beautiful and smiles more when she comes back this time. I believe he will take good care of her."
He Mei then looked at the two people in the kitchen.
Gu Yueji was indeed a different person when she returned home this time. The person who was originally thin and frail was now like a fully bloomed flower, full and beautiful. She paid special attention to Gu Yueji's body and found no marks of being beaten.
Although I'm not entirely satisfied, the two of them still look quite well-matched standing together.
"Whatever, your sister has never listened to me since she was little, so let her do whatever she wants."
