Cheng Xue didn't want to hear it, not at all.
"Yueyue, come back for dinner."
Mo Yan told Cheng Yue to go back for dinner, and Cheng Yue turned around and went inside.
Just as Cheng Xue was about to go in, Mo Yan slammed the door shut.
Cheng Xue: "???"
Breakfast consisted of stir-fried potato chips, vegetable soup, and steamed buns.
There's no other way; all of Mo Yan's money has been put into the greenhouse. There will be many other places where she'll need money in the future, so she can only be more frugal.
Besides, it's not even certain whether sales will be achieved. Mo Yan still needs to go to the village to inquire and see if she can apply for support.
Ten thousand yuan seems like a lot, but it can be spent very quickly and will be gone in no time.
Qian Ke has been helping out in the fields, and Cheng Yue comes home every day to help with cooking. They are both working hard to make their family better.
After the meal, Cheng Yue looked at her grandmother and said, "Grandma, should we let Auntie in? It's about to snow outside, and I'm worried something might happen to her again..."
You know, it's going to snow here soon, and it will get very cold when it snows.
"Don't worry, you won't die."
Cheng Yue: "..."
Cheng Xue turned around and left immediately. She still had two hundred yuan in her bag. She found a place to stay, bought herself a lot of food, and took out her phone to call her boyfriend.
"Senior."
"Are you home yet? How did it go? Did your mom agree?"
Hearing her senior's warm voice, Cheng Xue felt much warmer inside. "No, she just scolded me. I don't know what's wrong with her. It was all so inexplicable."
"It's okay, wait for me over there, I'll be right there, I'll definitely get your mom's approval."
Cheng Xue was even more moved by her senior's voice. "Thank you, senior."
Thinking of her senior's affection for her, Cheng Xue secretly told herself that she must make her mother give her the money. Just like her senior's mother said, it would be too shameful not to have a dowry. She couldn't let herself be ashamed, nor could she let her senior be ashamed.
"Silly girl, why are you thanking me? We're going to live together for the rest of our lives. Just wait for me at home."
I bought a ticket and will be here soon.
The senior student really likes this girl and wants to be with her, but his mother doesn't agree, which makes him feel a bit lost.
He had just hung up the phone when his mother came in. "Where are you going?"
"Mom, I'm going to Cheng Xue's house to beg her mother to let her marry me."
The senior started packing his things, thinking that if you like someone, you should work hard for her.
"She's just a country bumpkin, what's so great about her? We have a house and a car, and we're local residents. What kind of girl can't we find? Why do you have to choose someone so vain? She's with you only for your house and your local residency, don't you understand?"
She's seen countless people, yet she still can't see through that little girl's thoughts.
She simply thought that once she married her son, she wouldn't have to work hard anymore.
"Mom, you always say that. I know what kind of person she is. Maybe she's lost right now, but I believe she will find her way back."
Mom, I will live my own life from now on. I know you care about me and I know you are doing this for my own good.
But please let me walk my own path. Even if I get hurt and fail, even if all my efforts are in vain, you have to let me try, to see if I'll regret it.
Parents always use their experience to tell us how to go, but that's not what they want. No matter what, we have to go through thick and thin ourselves.
Only after you've gone through it yourself will you know if you'll regret it, and whether it will hurt.
Actually, he wasn't sure what his future would hold, nor did he know if he would be happy with Cheng Xue. Those were things for the future, and it was too early to talk about them now.
Anyone can talk the talk, but you only know if it will bring happiness or pain after you've experienced it.
He first met Cheng Xue during the welcome ceremony for new students, and he fell in love with her at first sight.
She used to be a girl with light in her eyes, but I don't know when, that light disappeared.
It's okay, he will help Cheng Xue find the light in her eyes again.
You'll regret this!
"I'm not afraid."
I'm not afraid of regret, I'm afraid of not even daring to try.
...
The highway project office is located here. Every afternoon, Mo Yan would take Qian Ke with her, pushing a cart and carrying a chair, to buy self-service boxed lunches.
It costs 10 yuan per person, and the food is free.
Everyone likes it. The people on the construction site have big appetites. It's expensive to cook real dishes, and they still don't get enough to eat.
Mo Yan and her colleagues are just earning a meager living. They make a living by serving both meat and vegetables, and each person only earns a dollar or two. If the customers are willing to eat, they might not earn a single cent.
They're busy until eight or nine o'clock, then they can pack up and have dinner.
Qian would cook for them, and they would clean up together after they finished eating.
Cheng Xue's two hundred yuan was gone in two days, so she had to come to Mo Yan's doorstep again.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
Mo Yan looked at Cheng Xue calmly, "I thought you weren't coming back. What happened to your money?"
Cheng Xue felt very wronged and didn't understand why her mother was talking to her like that. "Mom, I don't know what I did to offend you. Why are you saying this? I came back this time to tell you that I'm getting married and that I'm going to do an internship. Can you give me some money?"
She figured that since she couldn't ask for it directly, she would try to appeal to his emotions.
Mo Yan looked at Cheng Xue in front of her and said, "I think you could become an actress."
Cheng Xue: "???"
"You're really good at acting. Why don't you become an actor? I heard actors make a lot of money. Aren't you going to repay me? Send me your earnings so I can enjoy life."
Mo Yan spoke quite seriously, walking up to Cheng Xue, "I've raised you with great care and hardship all these years, feeding and caring for you. If you don't support me now, you're heartless and an ingrate!"
If you don't make money, I'll go to your school and cause trouble!
Didn't you say you were getting married? If you don't earn money to support me, I'll go to your in-laws' house and cause trouble!
"By the way, the bride price must be 200,000 yuan. I've put in so much effort and spent so much money; I have to get my money's worth. Not a penny less."
Hearing these words, Cheng Xue's face darkened, and she trembled with anger. "How can you be such a mother? Everyone else wants the best for their child, but what do you do? You just want to hold them back!"
Cheng Xue stomped her feet in anger. She was terrified. She was afraid that if her mother was really that shameless, what future would she have?
"Otherwise what? Cheng Xue, what do you think you can threaten me with? You only see that I can't give you a good life, but have you seen those classmates who work part-time while studying?"
"Others can take part-time jobs, why can't you? Others take out loans to go to college, why can't you? Cheng Xue, I've been too good to you, too generous of you."
