She had just reached the bottom of the stairs and hadn't even turned the corner when Sun Jie blocked her way. From the expression on his face, she could tell he was angry.
What do you want to do by stopping me?
"What were you whispering about with Song Mingyuan during class? I saw him leaving with a smile on his face. Were you waiting for him, which is why you came down so late?"
"Why are you interfering with my life?" Zhou Meiling felt like she was being monitored, and this feeling was very unpleasant.
"Why should I care about you? Am I your boyfriend?" Sun Jie said matter-of-factly, "I've already met your parents, why can't I care about you?"
Although we're not married, you're already my wife. I hope you won't flirt with him, or don't blame me for being rude to him.
“Sun Jie, what are you thinking about all day? He and I are just classmates. Talking to him is normal. I haven’t done anything inappropriate.”
"If you're a man, think about how to earn enough for next month's living expenses, and stop asking me for money!" Zhou Meiling shouted angrily.
Since there was no one around, she poured out her grievances. Who told Sun Jie to so readily ask her for money? She wasn't his mother; why should she interfere?
If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have accepted his confession when I graduated. It became a public scandal, and I had no choice but to meet his parents later.
At the time, she also dreamed about their future together: to go to college, have a good relationship, get married, have children, and spend the rest of their lives together.
She was defeated by reality so quickly. She felt like an ATM. Why should she support him?
Sun Jie pointed at her and said, "Zhou Meiling, I've finally seen through you today. All I did was spend some of your money."
Your parents said before they left that my family isn't well-off, but they would give me financial assistance.
You know that, so why are you arguing about it now? After we graduate and get married, you'll stay home to take care of the kids, and I'll be the one earning money to support you.
Why didn't you consider this?
“I won’t stay home to take care of the children. Even if I have children, I will still go out to work and earn money.” Zhou Meiling simply cannot imagine what it would be like to stay home to take care of the children. As a modern woman, she wants to earn money outside so that the two of them can have equal status.
She doesn't believe that earning money to support the family is solely a man's responsibility. She thinks there's nothing shameful about going out to work so that one can have a comfortable life in the future.
"Impossible! I would never let you go out to work. How could my woman, Sun Jie's woman, go out and show her face in public?"
"What kind of society is this now? Do you think it's still the old society? Women stay at home after giving birth and rely on men to go out and earn money?"
"No matter what other women are like, my woman can only stay at home and take good care of the elderly and children for me."
"If you're so capable, then take care of things at home before going out to earn money. Then I won't interfere."
"Are you even speaking human language? This is a home for two people, why should I sacrifice so much? Even if we're going to do housework, it should be split equally. And you expect me to take care of your parents? Why don't you take care of them yourself?"
"Then why would I marry you?"
"Then why should I marry you?"
The two argued so fiercely that they felt like complete strangers to each other.
"Cough cough!" A cough interrupted their argument.
When Song Mingyuan returned to get his things, he was surprised to find himself witnessing a dramatic scene – it turned out they were a couple!
No wonder this guy surnamed Sun always seems to have a problem with me, like I owe him some money.
