Chapter 118: Strong White, Rich and Beautiful (1)
...seeing that Wu Mei was unable to control his emotions, he said:
"Ms. Wu, we are investigating an investigation. As a citizen, you are being questioned by the police. Please be reasonable."
"Comrade police officer, it's not that I'm not calm or rational... It's really that I'm unlucky to have found this Yi Min. His family is poor, and it's okay for him to have no money, but he also embezzles and accepts bribes, and leads the entire department to be corrupt..." Wu Mei cried.
Afterwards, she seemed to open up and started talking about her and Yimin's story...
"Yi Min and I were classmates in college. We were studying international economics. At that time, there were more boys than girls in the class. Several boys pursued me. Some of them came from high-ranking officials, and some came from wealthy businessmen... But I didn't like any of them. The main reason was that I thought they were too much of a playboy. They only knew how to enjoy themselves, spend money on wine and women, and never studied hard. I thought at the time, how could these playboys have any future? I must find a boy with some ability. Later, Yi Min started to pursue me. Yi Min was a good student in the class, and he always ranked first in the class in exams. He loved to study, and in his spare time, he either studied in class or went to the library to read. At that time, I was really fascinated by him. I thought that a student as good at studying as him would definitely have a great future. Even if his family conditions were not so good, it didn't matter. So, in my junior year, I agreed to be his girlfriend." Wu Mei.
"At that time, we were full of infinite fantasies about the future. We always felt that as long as we worked hard and struggled down to earth, everything would be there... After Yimin graduated from university, he applied for a civil servant position. He ranked among the top in his classmates, so he successfully entered the interview and was admitted to the customs. I applied for a job in a foreign company... After my job was stable, we got married." Wu Mei.
"We held our wedding banquet in the city. But according to rural customs, he insisted on returning to his hometown to hold another one. I agreed to his request. Unexpectedly, when I arrived at his hometown and entered his home, I realized how poor his family lived!" Wu Mei.
"His family only had three mud-brick houses. The floor of the house was not even paved with bricks or cement... The furniture was tattered, and the TV was an old black-and-white model... When we had a wedding in his yard, many of his poor relatives came. They were dressed in shabby clothes and didn't even pay attention to basic hygiene habits. In short, after staying at their house for one night, I couldn't stand it anymore and fled back to the city! The poverty of their family was far beyond my expectations... I didn't expect that he had lived in such a bad environment since he was a child. However, at that time, our relationship was still very good. Although he had no money, I had just started working and couldn't afford to buy a house, but I didn't despise him. I asked my parents for the down payment for the house, and bought this 90-square-meter commercial house in this high-end area... I really wanted to live a good life with him. I thought I was marrying him, not his poor family. But, thinking about the life after that, it was really a mess - the monthly mortgage repayments required a large sum of money; I was pregnant again, and raising the child required money... I remember that when we moved into the new house, we had no money to decorate it. We only bought a big bed and a TV..." Wu Mei looked very sad at this.
