“I don’t agree with my daughter leaving. Wouldn’t that mean we’d be living apart? How could we live like that? Have you thought about that?”
"You say I'm harming the children, but actually you're the ones harming the children. I don't want this tragedy to happen!"
Lin Xiaotong was displeased: "How can you talk like that? As I see it, you've already found someone else, haven't you?"
Zhang Liaoliao's mother glared angrily: "What does it have to do with you whether I find someone or not? We're just stating the facts today: we don't agree to this marriage. You two should part ways amicably!"
Zhang Liaoliao's father chimed in, "That's right, let's part amicably. If you're capable of becoming a civil servant, we won't ask for a penny of the bride price! We'll give our daughter away for free. If you're still working in a private company, then we'll go our separate ways."
Lin Xiaotong scoffed and said to Zhang Liaoliao, "Say something! What era are we living in? Our parents have no reason to interfere in our marriage. If word gets out, they'll think we're old-fashioned. How can we even continue our relationship? Say something!"
Zhang Liao's mind was in a mess.
She wants to marry Lin Xiaotong, but her parents disagree.
They insisted that Lin Xiaotong's job was inadequate, and even said that they had found her a civil servant position, which was a bit too old, but at least it would provide her with financial security.
Zhang Liaoliao initially disagreed, asking, "What's wrong with a private company?"

But her parents dragged her here with a lot of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. She had to sever ties with them today.
Zhang Liao was in a difficult position.
On the one hand, there are lingering remnants of the parents' outdated planned economy mindset, and on the other hand, there is the impact of the new era.
It makes her want to make a decision, but she's still hesitant.
Zhang Liaoliao was also furious. "Lin Xiaotong, don't you dare to elope with me?"
Lin Xiaotong had no idea what Zhang Liaoliao was thinking. Seeing that she didn't speak, it was obvious that she was going along with her parents.
He still didn't believe it. "If I, Lin Xiaotong, the most handsome man, can't find a wife after leaving you, Zhang Liaoliao?"
Just as he was about to give up and chase Zhang Liaoliao and the others away.
Does the Earth stop spinning if someone leaves it?
At that very moment.
From outside came Wu Changfeng's annoyed shout: "Lin Xiaotong! Can't you clean up the toilet? It's drafty! It's making my butt hurt, I'm fed up!"
Zhang Liao was suddenly startled.
That voice sounds so familiar!
