Mo Yan would sometimes call them to ask how they were doing. The old ladies seemed quite happy and even hired a tour guide.
"We've hired a tour guide and are planning to go sightseeing. Don't worry, we're all doing fine."
"Okay, have fun."
Mo Bai recovered quite quickly, and was ready to be discharged from the hospital two days later.
Han Chen also came to pick up Mo Bai. Han Chen felt a little embarrassed when he saw Mo Yan. His sister had really not given him any face when she talked about him before.
"Sis, do you think I should go on a blind date? Wouldn't it be like I'm lying to the girl? I'm only trying to do what's best for her..." Han Chen explained weakly. "I think it's wrong of my parents to make me go on blind dates,"
"Why is that wrong? Your parents just want you to have a partner and hope you get married and have children. He's not you, so how could he possibly know what you're thinking?"
From your parents' perspective, seeing you become a major problem and having no one to take care of your basic needs, isn't it normal for them to hope that someone can take care of you?
Of course, they didn't ask for your opinion, didn't respect your choice, but did you tell them? Did you resist? Are you a rag doll? They say you can't say you don't want to, can't say you don't want to? What's the point of your mouth on your head, just for decoration?
Since you know it's unfair to the girl, you can choose not to go on blind dates. It's really just a matter of different perspectives; there's no right or wrong.
The elderly couple didn't know that their son didn't like girls; they simply couldn't accept that.
Even if they found out, they would probably think that my son only thinks this way because he doesn't have a girlfriend, and he wouldn't think this way once he has one.
"They raised you, took care of you, fed you and clothed you, and took care of you when you were sick."
Perhaps their way of loving you is a little off, but there's no doubt that they absolutely love you.
No parent doesn't love their child; if someone does, that's an exception. "They can't force you to like someone, and you can't force them to accept your way of thinking, can you?"
"But I'm not a puppet in their hands, doing whatever they tell me to do, am I?" Han Chen understood the logic, but it was just this feeling in his heart...
"Are you three or two years old? You don't want them to tie you up? Don't use that as an excuse, or I'll think you've wasted over thirty years of your life."
Han Chen: "..."
"You can't expect everyone to understand you, that's impossible. You have your own thoughts, and others have their own thoughts. All you can do is stick to your own heart. If your parents want you to go on blind dates, you can refuse, just be tactful."
Mo Yan finished speaking with a hint of helplessness, "What? Do I have to be your confidante? Pay me!"
Han Chen: "..."
"Sister, we all understand. You should go pick up Xiaoyu now."
Mo Bai truly understood. What her sister said was right. Their parents arranged for them to go on blind dates for their own good, and their reluctance to go on blind dates was also for the other party's good.
Mo Yan turned around and went back to the shop to continue her work. In the afternoon, Xiao Yu returned, bringing her classmate with her.
Mo Yan took a look and realized it wasn't her junior high classmate. The girl seemed a bit reserved and nervous.
"Mom, I brought a friend home. Can we get something to eat? I'd also like two cups of milk tea."
Xiaoyu ran up to Moyan and started to act cute.
"Okay, I'll make it for you,"
Mo Yan immediately made them two bowls of noodles, some maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot), two cups of milk tea, and a serving of fries.
The two girls ate very quickly, especially the girl who ate in big mouthfuls, with a schoolbag next to her.
She finished the noodles in no time, and Xiaoyu handed her a tissue.
Having probably eaten her fill, the little girl slowed down, munching on her fries slowly. Tears streamed down her face, dripping onto the fries, but she seemed oblivious, putting the tear-stained fries into her mouth and swallowing them.
"Auntie, what should I do?"
With tears in her eyes, she raised her head and looked at Mo Yan. The next moment, she stood up and knelt down directly in front of Mo Yan.
"Auntie, please save me, okay?"
Mo Yan helped her up and made her sit down. "What's wrong with you?"
"Auntie, my mom wants me to get married. She says she raised me all these years and now she wants me to marry to raise money for my brother's dowry. She won't let me go to school either. I ran away on my own. Auntie, please help me!"
You saved Xiaoyu when she was bullied before, can you help me too?
Mo Yan then realized that the girl was indeed Xiao Yu's classmate, but only a junior high school classmate. Although she had also been admitted to high school, her parents were now not allowing her to continue her studies. They wanted her to get married so they could raise money for her younger brother's dowry. Moreover, she had run away from home secretly and was covered in bruises from being beaten.
"In your situation, you need to seek help from the police, or you can go to the Women's Federation. I can give you their address or phone number."
Mo Yan looked at the girl in front of her and slowly spoke. In fact, the girl herself probably didn't know what she wanted to do. She just felt that she had heard that Xiao Yu was also bullied and beaten back then, and that Mo Yan had protected Xiao Yu. So now she hoped that Mo Yan could help her.
"I...I dare not." The little girl said, tears welling up in her eyes, sounding hesitant.
Call the police! That means suing her parents, but she won't dare.
What if her parents get angry?
"Why wouldn't you dare? Since you said you're desperate, why wouldn't you dare? The police station is not far away, and you can also ask the Women's Federation for help. The ladies there are very kind and can help you."
