Lin Guodong arrived at the hospital and found his sister in the dormitory.
Lin Shanshan had just finished work and had just returned from the cafeteria.
"Guodong, why are you here?"
"Mom and Dad asked me to come and see you. You haven't been home for so long. Do you really think you don't want this family anymore?"
Lin Shanshan said, "Don't you know why I didn't go back?
I thought about it for a long time afterwards and also asked my colleagues. No one gets married and then has to hand over their salary to their parents’ home.
Guodong, you are in college now, and you know that the world today is no longer a feudal era.
Women are not commodities and cannot be bought and sold like this.
He asked for five thousand yuan right away. Even if he is the director of our hospital, his monthly salary is only two hundred yuan, so five thousand yuan would be two years' salary.
And a motorcycle.
I also want your sister's future salary,
He also said that he would not take care of my children in the future.
When my parents get old, they want me to take care of them.
Do you think parents are right in these matters?
You have professors and instructors in your university. If you don't understand something, you can ask them to tell you whether it makes sense or not."
Lin Guodong was a little annoyed when he heard her say that. "Sister, don't tell me this. I'm just asking for your opinion on behalf of my parents. Did you flirt with Fang Hongbin or not?"
If you hadn't blown it, your parents would have wanted to arrange a blind date for you.
I'm just a messenger, I don't understand the truth."
Lin Shanshan used to think that Lin Guodong was young and ignorant, but now she feels that it is not that he does not understand, but because his interests have not been harmed, so he pretends to be indifferent.
In the end, he is still the one with vested interests.
Whether it is the betrothal gift from the Fang family or the salary she has to hand over every month, all this money will eventually be spent on her younger brother.
But this younger brother has not said a word of justice now.
She held the lunch box in her hand and originally wanted to ask Lin Guodong to finish his meal here before leaving.
I didn't expect my brother to answer like this.
"Guodong, you are 20 years old, I think you understand some of the truths.
I have been doing all the housework since I was a child.
Between going to high school and technical secondary school, my family told me to start working early, so they asked me to choose technical secondary school, and I accepted it.
I started working when I was 18 and I handed over my salary every month.
My grandfather was bedridden for 8 years, and I took care of him for 8 years.
I have been in a relationship for 7 years, but it was always Fang Hongbin who indulged me. We haven't even watched a movie together.
Now I am just fighting for my own rights, but you only think about what my parents think.
You don't have any objections because your parents asked for the money and spent it on you in the end.
Go away, I won’t let you have this meal.”
The more she thought about it recently, the more she felt wronged. She originally thought that her brother could be a neutral party and help lobby, but she didn't expect that he seemed to think that this matter should also be handled according to their parents' ideas.
In the end, the other three people in the family all felt that she was wrong.
Lin Guodong looked a little embarrassed and said, "Sister, why have you become so stingy? I came all the way here, and you treat me like this?"
Lin Shanshan sneered: "I'm stingy? Haven't I paid enough over the years?
Five thousand yuan is not a small amount of money. Hongbin's family has six sons. Did they marry each of their daughters-in-law with such a high bride price?
I won't be able to stay in their house then.
Go back and tell your parents that if they want a betrothal gift, fine. But they can't take my salary anymore, and they have to give up my obligation to support them in their old age. Just pretend they don't have me as their daughter.
Everyone can sign a severance letter.
If you want the five thousand dollars, the motorcycle, and the leather jacket, fine, I'll satisfy you once and for all, and there won't be any more later."
After hearing such a serious situation, Lin Guodong still felt a little uneasy, "Isn't this bad?"
"No? Then tell your parents,
If they still want this daughter, then they don't need a dowry. Just hand over the household registration booklet and let her marry Fang Hongbin. She will still be filial to her parents in the future.
Anyway, you said you don't make decisions and have no opinions, so you are just a mouthpiece. Just go back and tell them what I mean.
Go away, I want to eat."
Lin Guodong turned and left angrily.
Lin Shanshan sat alone by the bed, feeling aggrieved.
She felt that she had been really nice to her younger brother in vain.
She also hopes that her parents can make a decision as soon as possible so that she can have some closure.
She has been staying in the hospital recently, and she can still make an appointment with her fifth brother as usual. She finally enjoyed two days of good time and had herself.
In addition, the hospital is a place where there are many women. She asked those who were already married and found out what marriage was like.
Lin Guodong returned home from Lin Shanshan's place and told Lin's father and mother about Lin Shanshan's request.
Lin's father and mother did not expect their daughter to be hospitalized, and they became more and more persistent.
I just feel like I'm losing control of them.
How could they possibly recognize this? There are two clauses, and they don't agree with any of them.
It was impossible to let her marry Fang Hongbin so easily, and it was also impossible to sever ties with her after accepting the betrothal gift.
Now that Lin Shanshan doesn't want to go home, she can forget about getting her household registration booklet and marrying Fang Hongbin.
Thinking of this, Lin's father went to the store at the door, spent fifty cents, called Lin Shanshan's hospital, and explained the matter to her.
"If you don't compromise with your family, you can forget about marrying Fang Hongbin. The household registration book is at home anyway."
Lin Shanshan said, "That's perfect. I don't want to get married either. In a few years, no one will want to marry me, and you won't be able to get the five thousand by then.
Also, I don't live at home now, nor do I live there. You all have formal jobs.
I won’t pay for living expenses.
I don't go home for meals, and I don't eat the rice at home.
I will go back to see you during the Chinese New Year and other holidays, but I won’t go back at other times.”
Father Lin was so angry that he almost smashed the phone.
He even said he wouldn't get married and wouldn't hand over his salary. He's really rebellious.
After returning home, Lin's father and mother discussed the matter and both felt that their daughter must have been brainwashed by Fang Hongbin.
You can't marry into such a family.
How can I spend my daughter's money in the future?
It would be better for her to marry the merchant her aunt mentioned last time.
At least businessmen make more money.
But Lin Guodong thought, what can they do if his sister doesn’t agree?
Mother Lin said, "As long as she comes back, there will be no objection. At least the merchant will pay for it, and it won't make my daughter break off relations with me."
She now felt that all the changes in her daughter were due to Fang Hongbin's proposal. If Fang Hongbin hadn't proposed marriage, her daughter wouldn't have turned away from them.
So it’s better not to get married.
It’s better to find someone who is obedient and doesn’t have so many ideas.
I originally thought that marrying into the Fang family was marrying up, but now that they are so calculating, it would be better to marry down to someone who offers more money.
