"Xiao Wen, don't get excited. Drink some water." Lin Rou comforted him, poured him a glass of warm water, and said calmly, "Ayan knows."
"Brother Lu, do you know? He just watched us being kicked out by his mother?" Lin Wen was stunned and became even angrier.
"Don't get excited! Listen to me."
"I..." Lin Wen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Then tell me, what does he mean?"
"It's just a job change." Lin Rou said calmly, slowly recounting the facts. "Ayan has already arranged for us to join XX Bank as full-time employees. It's a stable job with a decent salary. It's much better than a regular job."
"What is this? How can he do this!" Lin Wen was still furious, with a hint of gnashing teeth. "His mother was so difficult for you, but he let us go? Although he arranged our work, it was clearly to let you avoid his mother! He was clearly siding with his mother! Is this decent? Is he still a man? Sister, if he doesn't protect you now, can you still rely on him in the future?"
"Xiao Wen, that's A Yan's mother." Lin Rou said helplessly.
"So what? Does his mother have the right to be so arbitrary and do whatever she wants? What right did she have to fire us? Lu Yuyan's behavior clearly shows that he is a mama's boy!" Lin Wen frowned, looking worried. "His mother obviously looks down on us. Sister, with his attitude, you two probably won't be able to go to the end. His mother has already treated us so badly, and Lu Yuyan won't help you. He is obviously unreliable! I think it's better to break up!"
"Break up? Then what?" Lin Rou smiled bitterly. She was unhappy because she had been wronged. She also wanted to be like other women, making a scene and being willful. But could she?
"What?" Lin Wen was stunned.
"What happens after we break up? Without Lu Yuyan's connections, do you think we can still get into XX Bank?" Lin Rou's mouth held a hint of sarcasm, as if she was mocking Lin Wen's naiveté, and also as if she was mocking her own incompetence.
"Sister, what's this? You're just giving me a reward for a blow? Are you going to keep swallowing your anger just for a job?" Lin Wen's eyes widened in disbelief, then he said angrily, "It's just a few bucks! Is being rich such a big deal? Sister, even without him, we wouldn't be able to find a job ourselves. If you're not happy, you might as well break up and save yourself this hardship."
"But without money, it's really not possible!" Lin Rou's face was sad, her eyes were sore and she had an urge to cry.
"Sister, how did you become so materialistic? You're obsessed with money!" Lin Wen frowned and said something critically, thinking that Lin Rou was reluctant to leave Lu Yuyan because of money.
A tear burst out of her eye uncontrollably, and then, as if a dam had burst, the tears could no longer be suppressed and flowed out.
Because of Lin Wen's words, Lin Rou's suppressed emotions could no longer be controlled. She was filled with grievances, unwillingness, heavy pressure and anger that had no outlet. At this moment, she could no longer bear it and collapsed.
"Yes, I worship money. I'm obsessed with money. All I care about is money! But only with money can you buy life!
There are no miracles in this world. If you buy a lottery ticket, it's always someone else who wins! It will never be your turn! I'm just an ordinary person. I can only find an ordinary job. Ten thousand a month is a sky-high salary, but your medicine costs more than ten thousand a month! What can I do? What can I do? Without money, am I supposed to watch you die?
Lin Rou shouted excitedly, "I worry about money every day. I'm always worried about what I'll do if I don't have money to buy medicine. You know, I'm afraid that one day the hospital will notify me that they have a suitable heart and I can have the surgery.
But, but because I didn't have enough money for surgery, you lost your precious heart! Do you know how much pressure I was under?
Being with Lu Yuyan, what's wrong with a little hardship? He's rich, treats us well, and can arrange high-paying jobs for us. I don't have to worry about not being able to afford medicine, nor do I have to work so many hours every day just to make a few more bucks! Even if we break up because of his mother, at least, for the sake of our past, he can still lend me money for surgery!
Who am I doing this for? For whom? I am your older sister, but I was only born a few minutes before you. I am so tired, so tired, you know? I am only 26 years old, and I am just... woohoo.
Unable to continue, Lin Rou covered her face and started crying.
Always be strong and optimistic and tell yourself that difficulties will pass, and you can get through it if you grit your teeth.
But in the end, Lin Rou felt resentful and angry...
Angry at the injustice of heaven.
Why? Why were people like Ning Mufeng and Lu Yuyan born with no worries about food and clothing, no worries about making a living, while she was born at a young age, and had to share the burden for her mother and think about how to make money!
Why does she have to live such a hard life?
She is only 26 years old now!
The age of flowers!
These are the beautiful years when we should be enjoying the love of our parents and love!
She also wants someone to love her, someone to protect her from the wind and rain, and someone to make her worry-free!
After meeting Lu Yuyan, she no longer has the courage to bear this heavy pressure alone.
Before he chose to end his life, he wanted to have enough money so that he wouldn't have to worry about his brother's medicine and surgery fees, he wanted to have a stable, high-paying job, and he wanted to have a house of his own...
Even if he married someone else in the future, she would be able to live a good life. At least, she wouldn't have to worry about money. She wouldn't have to accept the hush money after being humiliated because she had no money!
She did it all for her brother!
In the end, her own brother didn't understand her!
Because of Lin Rou's words, the blood gradually drained from his face until it turned pale. Lin Wen opened and closed his mouth, wanting to say something, but no sound came out. His heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife, and it was in excruciating pain.
After being stunned for a long time, Lin Wen finally reached out, hugged Lin Rou, and patted her on the back. "I'm sorry, I'm a burden to you. It's because of me that you have such a hard time."
It’s all because of him. My sister doesn’t even dare to break up with him. It’s all because of him, this burden!
"Xiao Wen, you are my only relative. I just want you to live well. Nothing else matters." After saying this, Lin Rou calmed down a lot and said softly.
"Sister, I'm sorry."
"We both need to be fine."
…
Since she didn't have to go to work and had to wait for Lu Yuyan to arrange work, Lin Rou had some free time. After a heart-to-heart talk, she observed Lin Wen for two days and found that he was quiet and there was nothing unusual about him. Lin Rou felt relieved.
But that night, when I was sleeping soundly, I received a phone call.
"Are you Lin Wen's sister? Lin Wen is in our hospital for emergency treatment. Come here quickly..."
