These words were like a bomb to Wang Cuihua. She looked at her father in despair and reached out to grab his clothes.
"What do you mean? What do you mean by that? Explain yourself!"
Are you saying that everything my daughter did was my fault?
What did she do wrong?
She works so hard for this family, never resting for 24 hours a day!
"You have a workday and a time to get off work, but I'm around you 24 hours a day!"
I take care of your every need, and in the end you think it's my fault?
"You think you're so great just because you make money? Really?"
Wang Cuihua completely broke down.
She was heartbroken and saddened by her daughter's accident, but she couldn't accept her father's accusations!
“I didn’t mean that. I didn’t say you weren’t working hard. I know you are working hard, but Cuihua, sometimes you don’t have to work so hard.”
Leng's father was also helpless. He wanted to communicate with Cuihua, but for some reason, they would start arguing every time they exchanged a few words, and Cuihua would start talking about all the sacrifices she had made since they got married.
“I never liked you in the first place. My mom insisted that your job was good and that it was a secure job. But what happened?”
You never have enough money to live on each month, so I have to find ways to earn money together.
Once you have a child, wow, your parents run away faster than anyone else. Once they find out it's a girl, they're like they're dead. I'm taking care of the child and this family all by myself. Do you think it's easy for me?
You didn't even bother to help!
I applied a cold compress and rubbed my brow with my hands. And here we go again.
"Yes, you've worked hard," the father said somewhat perfunctorily.
What can he do then? Those are his parents. Can he take a regular kitchen knife and force them to come and take care of her?
If they really come over, they'll be like two powder kegs that explode together.
He takes care of him?
Are you kidding me? If he doesn't earn money, how will his family survive? He has to work hard outside for his family's sake, and working overtime is normal for him.
He knew she had a hard time, but who among people of their generation didn't go through the same thing?
When two people are at home, one of them has to make sacrifices. He's willing to take care of the child, but the problem is he earns a higher salary.
He gets home at one or two in the morning every day, and has to go to work at seven the next day. He gets up at six. He's not made of iron, he gets tired too. Isn't he doing this for the family?
"See? Every time I say something, you use this perfunctory tone, like you're so impatient. You just look down on me, don't you?"
"If it weren't for you, for your daughter, would I need to work so hard and save so much money?"
Has she ever bought herself a single piece of clothing or a face cream in all these years?
“I didn’t tell you not to buy it, Cuihua. Let’s be honest, when our daughter was little, you said you would take care of her. Now that she’s in school, I told you to go out and get a job.”
You then insulted me, saying I didn't want to support you.
Later, when I mentioned that you were also buying clothes, you said I had no money and was just wasting my time.
I don't even know what I can say.
Later, I asked you to go out and take a look, and you said it was to get you to work.
Like now, when I say you've worked hard, you insist on feeling like I'm just being perfunctory.
Can't you just stop thinking so much?
"Our daughter's all grown up, and I'm retiring soon. We'll stop worrying about her; good or bad, she'll handle it herself. The two of us will just go out and do some square dancing, watch TV—isn't that nice?"
Mr. Leng felt that he didn't have much ambition. He just wanted to raise his daughter well, and that would be the end of his responsibility. Whether his daughter lived a good life or not was entirely up to her. He would just earn some money for his retirement, and he and his wife would live together. Wasn't that good enough?
He also knew that he didn't have much ability, so he didn't have much ambition.
