Cheng Xue was a little confused. Her mother just kicked her out like that? This...
"Mom..." Cheng Xue felt wronged; she really knew she was wrong.
"Calling me won't help. This young man really likes you. That's why you can't let him down. Otherwise, what will you become?"
If you keep standing still and never put in any effort, do you think your relationship can last?
He can support you, but why do you keep running away? Marriage is not an excuse for you to run away from everything.
You must learn to be independent in order to find happiness. A loving relationship should be a two-way street; do you understand?
Mo Yan said all this in order to finish explaining everything at once.
Cheng Xue fell silent. She felt that these words contained too much information, and she needed to process them.
Mo Yan didn't care and said everything she needed to say.
If two people are together, and only one person moves forward while the other moves backward, they will only drift further and further apart.
Other people work hard to earn money, while you stay at home doing nothing and just thinking about escaping. Why should they accommodate you for the rest of their lives?
In other words, if you put yourself in their shoes, would you be willing to do that?
Mo Yan, along with Qian Ke and Cheng Yue, prepared takeout for the evening.
When the senior saw this, he quickly went to help and went out with them.
Although he couldn't understand the local language, he could still collect money.
Back home, Cheng Xue cooked noodles for them. Actually, she used to cook when she was little, but later she felt that as a college student she didn't need to cook at all, and over time she became rusty. Now she can only cook noodles.
They didn't say anything was wrong. After eating the noodles and cleaning up, they went to rest.
That night, Cheng Xue shared a room with Qian Ke, while the senior student stayed in Cheng Xue's room.
Early in the morning, the senior student got up to help.
Seeing that Mo Yan was about to go out, he followed her out.
I heard that Mo Yan was making strawberries in greenhouses, and I found it very interesting, so I went to help out.
"Doesn't Auntie have anything to ask me?"
He had actually been wanting to talk to his aunt alone, but he didn't have the time.
"What are you asking me? Didn't you already tell me yesterday?"
The senior student scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly. "Auntie, my mother has some issues with Xiaoxue. She misunderstood Xiaoxue, but I will try my best to mediate their relationship in the future. I believe we will definitely be happy."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan looked at him and spoke earnestly.
"You don't have to keep compromising yourself."
The senior student was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mo Yan in surprise. How could Auntie...?
"Haven't you been compromising yourself all along? Compromising yourself to accommodate Cheng Xue, compromising yourself to listen to your mother's various misunderstandings."
You might tell yourself now that you love them so it's okay for you to suffer, but what about in the long run?
Those grievances will accumulate and eventually turn into resentment. Just like I said, Cheng Xue has been avoiding work and running away from things. At first, you might go along with her, but over time you'll start to feel that it's unfair.
Why can other girls go to work, but she can't?
You've done so much for this family, why can't she?
If your mom says something at this point, what do you think will happen?
Young man, you're great, but you don't have to take everything on yourself.
If Cheng Xue isn't going to work, then you shouldn't be with her. If she can't even support herself, how can she get married and live a normal life? Even marriage isn't a reason for her to run away from everything.
Because you are unique too, why should you settle for her?
At that moment, the senior suddenly realized that what the aunt said made a lot of sense.
But is this something a biological mother would say?
"Are betrothal gifts and dowries important? Yes, they are, but what's more important is whether the two of you are compatible and whether you can be together."
That morning, Mo Yan talked a lot with her senior.
He stayed here for a few days and went back home just before the Chinese New Year. Mo Yan prepared a lot of local specialties for him.
Cheng Xue wanted to go with them, but her senior stopped her, saying, "It's almost Chinese New Year, you need to help out at home. The whole family should be together. Your aunt definitely wants you to stay."
"Come back after the New Year and focus on getting ready for work. Let's work together to buy a house and get married, okay?"
Cheng Xue nodded vigorously, feeling very happy at that moment.
After returning home, the senior told his parents about what had happened, and they no longer objected.
"Buying a house is fine, but you'll have to take care of the mortgage yourselves, and you'll also have to cover your living expenses. I won't be helping you out."
The old lady was still a little depressed. The son she had finally thought of was now thinking about another woman. She felt a pang of sadness and heartache.
The senior student smiled and agreed, and the matter was resolved perfectly.
The money was spent quickly, and the strawberry seedlings were ready.
During the Chinese New Year, Qian Ke and Cheng Xue cooked several dishes together, and the family celebrated the New Year together.
When she went back to pay New Year's visits, Cheng Xue didn't have a long face; she sincerely greeted each of her relatives.
It's just because Mo Yan said that if someone lends you money, they don't know if you can pay it back, and it takes courage to lend it to you anyway. Besides, making money was so difficult back then.
Cheng Xue understood and obediently greeted them.
Cheng Xue left after the Lunar New Year to find a job and work hard to pay back her mother. She decided not to get married for two years unless she paid back the money.
Mo Yan didn't care about this. Does it matter when you get married?
The strawberry seedlings have been planted, as have other fruit seedlings.
With the new year over, the highway workers officially started work, and Mo Yan and Qian Ke simply opened a small restaurant and hired two people to help out.
I didn't make any money for the first three months, but things gradually started to improve after that.
We still have to keep an eye on the strawberries from time to time, but everything is moving in a positive direction.
It was at this time that Cheng Yongzhi was released.
After being detained for several months, the first thing he did upon his release was to rush home.
He felt like he was going to stink.
When I got back, I found out that my mother had moved to town.
He finally found a restaurant, and his eyes widened as he watched the people coming and going inside. How much money must they be making?
Their family is about to become rich!
He walked straight in and said to the waiter, "Bring me a few dishes."
The waiter saw this and immediately smiled and said, "Excuse me, sir, we require payment before you eat. It's ten yuan all you can eat, you can eat as much as you want."
Cheng Yongzhi had no money. He touched his pockets and found he had no money. "I have no money. This shop belongs to my wife."
After Cheng Yongzhi finished speaking, he saw Qian Ke walking out. "Qian Ke, tell me, aren't you my wife?"
Qian Ke was taken aback. She hadn't expected to see Cheng Yongzhi. Then she realized that Cheng Yongzhi should be coming out by now. For a moment, she really didn't know how to reply.
She is no longer the submissive person she once was, but Cheng Yongzhi is still her mother's son.
