"Call the police? Who are you trying to scare?"
“Mo, I’m not kidding you, but if you disturb my business, I can call the police to make you leave.”
"Your son bullied me, can't I even demand an explanation?"
"Then tell me how he bullied you?" Song Xia asked calmly, while the customers looked on with the curiosity of gossip. To be honest, they didn't really believe the owner was a bad person. After all, if a business could keep its ingredients clean and hygienic, its flavors delicious and its prices affordable, the owner must be an honest and kind person. How could he do something like bullying someone?
Mo Ru then launched into a long speech: "A year ago, he pursued me first, and I agreed to date him. Now that he's tired of us, he wants to dump me? What does he take me for? And the reason he gave was that he can't give me what I want. Are my requests too unreasonable? All I want is for him to be the breadwinner and I to stay home after graduation and we get married, and for him to give me his earnings to manage. Is there anything wrong with what I said? Also, he said that after we get married, I won't need your help. With so much pressure in society these days, how much pressure will young people face without the help of elders? I just questioned him, and he thinks I'm selfish. How am I selfish?"
Customers who were unaware of the situation thought there was some truth to what she said, but Song Xia just laughed.
Amidst Mo Ru's flushed and pale face, he slowly explained, "Mo, first of all, I can't interfere with your relationship and breakup, because it's ultimately your business. It's normal for young people to date and break up these days. If you're saying he got tired of you and dumped you, then has he found someone new?"
"Who knows if it exists?"
"It seems you haven't found any evidence that he has a new love interest. But as his mother, I don't think so. Now, let me ask you another question: who paid for your relationship expenses during your courtship?"
"What does it matter?" She scoffed, staring at the customers' amused looks. "So what if he paid more? It was his own choice."
Song Xia smiled: "So, since he gave more during the relationship, there's no question of him apologizing to you now that he wants to break up, right?"
“I also gave him emotional value. I didn’t accept him at first, but if it weren’t for his pursuit, would I have wasted this year? He has caused me to lose my youth!”
The customers were speechless. The girl's reasoning was a bit far-fetched. No one was forcing her to date. As long as the pursuit didn't constitute harassment, there was no problem. She accepted the pursuit herself, so how could she be the one wasting her time? She should have just not accepted in the first place!
"Mo, first of all, there is no such thing as compensation for lost youth in law now. As long as there is no deception or harm in young people's relationships, it is all consensual. So, I don't think Wei Deng has done anything wrong in breaking up with you. You can't say that you have to be responsible for the other person's whole life just because you have a relationship once."
The customers nodded in agreement. That made sense. If you can't get along, you should break up cleanly. You can't say that whoever pursued you first has no right to break up.
"As for the reason Wei Deng wanted to break up with you, it was because we talked about the future and he said he didn't want my help anymore. First of all, I admit that I had already told him and his sister about this. I have had a hard life, so I want to live a comfortable and quiet life in my old age. I promised to give each of them 400,000 yuan as a settlement allowance. I don't have any more ability than that. Although the shop is doing very well, it is all hard-earned money. I still have to pay the mortgage on my own house. If I give them another 800,000 yuan, I really don't have the extra energy to take care of anything else. Fortunately, they are very understanding and have agreed to my request."
Previously, the customers felt that Song Xia was heartless for not helping the younger generation, after all, young people are under a lot of pressure these days. But now, after hearing what Song Xia said, they felt that Mo Ru was being unreasonable.
Yes, young people face a lot of pressure these days, but are the elderly having it easy? They work so hard to earn money and have promised to give their children 400,000 yuan as a settlement allowance. What more could you ask for? Is their whole life just about working for their children, without being able to have any life of their own?
To put it bluntly, after paying off her mortgage and earning enough to support her child's future, how many years of her life do she have left? How could she possibly make any more demands?
“Mo, Wei Deng wants to break up with you, that’s a problem between you two, so there’s really no need for you to come to me. As long as he doesn’t break the law and can support himself, I won’t interfere too much in his future life. If he intends to start a family in the future, I will still maintain the same attitude: each of us should live our own lives, and we can get together occasionally for meals, which will make us both more comfortable.”
Some girls nodded in agreement. This was simply a wonderful mother-in-law! She gave money and didn't bother them. How could these girls still not be satisfied?
It's probably the girl's own fault that the boss's son wants to break up with her.
Besides, your relationship and breakup are your own business. It's impolite of you to come and cause trouble for the man's mother without even saying hello!
"Girl, if you really can't bear to part with your boyfriend, go and talk to him properly. If you make a scene in front of Boss Song, won't you just push him further away?"
"Everyone gets old eventually. You don't want to be struggling to support your parents until you die, do you? Seniors should also have their own lives!"
"If you think that Boss Song should do this for you and your boyfriend for the rest of your life, then that is indeed a bit selfish."
Mo Ru's face turned pale as she listened to everyone's accusations. She shouted, "What's it to you? You all speak so righteously, don't you want someone to help you?"
Her words only made everyone more convinced that she was being unreasonable: "Girl, Mr. Song has already agreed to give you 400,000 yuan as a resettlement allowance, what else could you possibly be dissatisfied with?"
"What can 400,000 yuan buy? It can't even buy a house. These days, who doesn't prepare a house and a car for their son's wedding?"
“Girl, that doesn’t make sense. Not every family is that well-off. If you want all that, then it’s no wonder Mr. Song’s son broke up with you. You should just look for someone who meets those requirements.”
"Exactly, maybe it's because you spoke the truth that Mr. Song's son said he wanted to break up with you! After all, most people simply can't satisfy you."
Song Xia looked at Mo Ru indifferently, remaining unmoved even as Mo Ru was being criticized.
But her family didn't have these things in her previous life, so why didn't Mo Ru take them?
Song Xia thought about it again. In her previous life, although there was only an old house, the money for the bride price all went to Mo Ru. Moreover, Mo Ru did not work, do housework, or take care of children. She also received a salary from Wei Zhu every month, so she naturally did not have so many troubles. Now that Wei Deng has risen up on his own, he is naturally unwilling to indulge Mo Ru anymore, so the conflict between the two has emerged.
