Seeing his reserved demeanor, Mo Yan smiled and asked, "Would you like another drink?"
"No, no, no!" The senior waved his hands frantically, he dared not drink anymore. "I think it's better not to. Auntie, I came here specifically to visit you. I would like to ask you to marry your daughter, Xiaoxue, to me."
The senior student stood up abruptly and bowed to Mo Yan, "Auntie, I'd like to tell you about my situation."
Mo Yan nodded, indicating that he could begin speaking.
"My dad and mom are both retired and now live in an old house. The house I live in isn't in my name; it belongs to my parents."
I've saved up some money over the years, so I was thinking of buying a new house with Xiaoxue, putting both of our names on it, and paying the mortgage together. That will be our home from now on.
I've already found a house; it's close to my workplace and also close to the company she wants to work for.
This way, when we argue, she has her own home, and my parents won't get involved.
The senior student was very clear about his mother's attitude. She was afraid that Xiaoxue was after his house and his wife. It was his parents' house, and he really didn't have much of a right to say anything about it. But it was different when they bought their own house. Even if they argued or his mother was being unreasonable, Xiaoxue could proudly say, "This is my home!"
"Auntie, I know I'm not good enough yet, and I may not be able to give Xiaoxue the best life, but I will do my best to make her live a good life, and I will accompany her to become the best version of myself."
Xiaoxue, the dowry I can give you isn't much, only around 100,000 yuan, but this is your dowry. You can decide how to spend it as you wish.
My mom is a bit domineering, but it's because she wants what's best for me. I understand her concerns, but I also know how much you love me.
Then I'll try to balance things out for you two, and we won't live together, okay?
Cheng Xue's eyes reddened after hearing this; she hadn't expected her senior to do so much for her.
"Actually, we don't need a bride price, I can still..." He even wanted to ask my mother for a dowry...
"No, I have to give it to you. I want to give you everything I can."
The senior turned to look at Mo Yan and said, "Auntie, this is what I can do for Xiaoxue: give her a home and a shoulder to lean on. I need to work hard with her. It may be difficult at first, but I will definitely try my best."
Mo Yan nodded after listening. "Hmm, not bad. So, Cheng Xue, are you willing to work hard with him, work together, and pay off the mortgage together?"
Mo Yan thinks this senior is the one who truly loves Cheng Xue. Otherwise, he could live in his parents' house without having to buy a house or take out a mortgage. But if his mother doesn't want to, she can kick Cheng Xue out anytime, because it's a house they bought and has nothing to do with Cheng Xue.
Cheng Xue nodded vigorously to show her determination, "Of course I'm willing, Mom, please grant our wish. I will work very hard in the future."
Mo Yan looked around the house and spoke.
“Cheng Xue, you’ve seen our family’s situation. I don’t have much dowry to give you.”
Cheng Xue was a little embarrassed. "Mom, just forget what I said before."
At the same time, Cheng Xue turned to look at her senior, "Senior, I can't be with you right now. I haven't settled down at work, I don't have any savings, and I still have debts to pay off. I owe a lot of money from my studies, so let's postpone it for a while?"
