Some say that you are lucky and happy when you are needed by others.
I have never denied this.
Because before, I had been hoping that Gu Nianci would need me, and I hoped that one day she would say to me: Xu Ruo, I need you now; Xu Ruo, don't go!
But this is ultimately just a hope.
Therefore, there is always more regret than anything else in this world.
For example, now.
Song Qingrong hoped I wouldn't die. Although she didn't say anything directly, her words told me that she couldn't live without me, but I couldn't respond to her.
I could only pretend I didn't notice and continued to smile, saying, "Okay, once this is resolved, I'll make a will and leave the rest to you."
"By then, you'll definitely be a little rich woman."
"I won't have to call to borrow money in the middle of the night anymore."
"I was just kidding." Hearing me say that, Song Qingrong was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to the side and said.
"Who cares about your money? I don't want it."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
I didn't continue the topic and said, "You should go to your room first."
Then I walked to the door and opened it only after confirming that Song Qingrong had returned to her room.
As soon as the door opened, a middle-aged woman started cursing, "You brat, get out here! Do you know how much trouble you've caused our family?"
"You think you can just say you won't marry me and then not? Do you think our family is easy to bully?"
"Alright." I frowned and said, "I'm here now. If you have any questions, talk to me."
"Who are you! Make her come out right now! She has to marry my son today, or I'll never forgive her!" the middle-aged woman continued cursing. "I already know where her mother is. If she doesn't come out, I'll go find her mother, and then don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Enough!" I snapped. "I didn't bring you here to listen to your tantrums."
I then looked at the two people behind her; they seemed to be there to support her.
However, I am not afraid. During the years I was in charge of the Xu family, I have met all kinds of people.
I said to them, "If you don't want to talk, you can leave now, and take the trash with you by the door."
"If you want to talk, then shut up."
"You..." The middle-aged woman was about to curse when the middle-aged man behind her stopped her. After looking me up and down, he said, "Who are you to that girl?"
"Boyfriend," I said after thinking for a moment.
"Okay. Let's talk about it then." The middle-aged man nodded and went straight into the house. I didn't stop them. If we could talk, then everything would be fine.
After they sat down, I got straight to the point: "My girlfriend will never marry your son."
“That girl agreed to this herself. We even picked out an auspicious day. If she says she doesn’t want to do it, how will our family’s reputation be?" The middle-aged man said coldly, “Young man, I’m willing to talk to you because you are that girl’s boyfriend. This matter is indeed not a good thing for you.”
"But no matter what, that girl agreed to this first. Even if you want to go back on your word now, you still have to give us an explanation, right?"
"Name your price."
I took out a cigarette and offered him one, then said, "My patience is limited. If we really investigate what you're doing, it won't do you any good."
“Your son is dead, so you should properly bury him and let him rest in peace. Those feudal practices should be abandoned.”
"But I admit that my girlfriend was indeed at fault first, so I am willing to compensate you."
"However, you must not bother her afterward, or you will face the consequences!"
...
Half an hour later, I went to the room where Song Qingrong was hiding and knocked on the door.
Song Qingrong carefully opened the door, and after confirming that no one else was there, she asked somewhat nervously, "Where is everyone? Did they leave?"
"Let's go." I smiled and pointed to the stick in her hand, saying, "You can put that baseball bat away now."
