That night, Yanling stayed behind and, under Jiang Xin's humility, reconciled with her.
Jiang Xin went to work the next day looking radiant, and her colleagues were amazed by her transformation.
Jiang Xin usually has listless eyes and lacks energy. She doesn't have the vitality that a young person should have, and she seems lifeless.
Jiang Xin seems to have come back to life recently. Although she is still not very close to her colleagues, everyone can see that her overall condition has improved a lot.
Yanling has been staying at Jiang Xin's place since that day, and he's having a very hard time.
During his years in the army, Yanling didn't get along with the privileged kids in the unit. He couldn't change his arrogant attitude, and those powerful and influential kids couldn't tolerate him.
From the friction and fights in the army to his discharge, his second-generation never gave up on teaching him a lesson.
Actually, there was no irreconcilable hatred between him and that group of people; it was just that they looked down on his self-righteous attitude.
If Yanling just softened his stance, this matter would be over. But Yanling felt that these people were just spoiled brats who relied on their families, unlike himself, who relied entirely on his own abilities.
The harder he was beaten, the more defiant he became, which completely enraged the group.
After Yanling was discharged from the army, he looked for many jobs, but because of his low education level and the interference of that group of people, he could not find a good job.
To make ends meet, Yanling even worked as a bricklayer on a construction site, but he ran away after a short time because he couldn't endure the hardship.
In recent years, the second generation has retaliated against him less, giving him some breathing room to start a renovation team with his friends.
Yanling went out to do renovations, which involved physical labor. When he came home, he didn't do any housework and just sat at home like a king, waiting for Jiang Xin to serve him.
Jiang Xin's sweetness lasted for a few months. The heavy workload exhausted her, and when she got home, she still had to do laundry, cook, and clean for Yan Ling.
Yanling is very chauvinistic; at home, he only talks and never acts.
Jiang Xin was in agony. This wasn't the kind of love she had always dreamed of. Her love should have included occasional surprises, occasional romance, and sweet words from her lover.
Instead of her cooking in the kitchen every day after work and squatting in the bathroom washing Yanling's smelly socks.
In the past few months, Jiang Xin bought Yan Ling a lot of gifts and clothes, but when Yan Ling gave her a pot, Jiang Xin was devastated. This was not the kind of love she wanted.
How could her love be about dealing with pots and pans every day!
More importantly, after Yanling moved in with her, he didn't give her a single penny. Jiang Xin bore all the rent and living expenses on her own.
Jiang Xin's monthly salary barely covers daily expenses and rent, and now that there's another person in the family, her meager salary is simply not enough.
With the rent due date fast approaching, Jiang Xin thought long and hard before deciding to tell Yan Ling the truth and ask him to share the burden.
She had barely begun speaking when Yanling interrupted her: "Your monthly salary is so low, it's disproportionate to your hard work. You should change jobs."
Before Yanling returned, Jiang Xin did a lot of mental preparation. She told herself that she couldn't go on like this anymore. She had no money and couldn't afford to support two people.
As soon as Yanling spoke, she immediately forgot her previous plans and began to seriously consider whether she should change jobs.
Yanling is right. It's her incompetence that she doesn't earn much money. Why should Yanling be blamed for her failure?
Seeing that Jiang Xin was moved by his words, Yan Ling smiled without making a sound. He knew that this woman was still so obedient and would not object to anything he said.
With his looks and qualifications, finding a rich man's daughter would be a piece of cake. If it weren't for her obedience, he would have left long ago; who would want to stay in this wretched place?
During the years Jiang Xin was abroad, Yan Ling did have girlfriends, but those rich girls were all arrogant and bossy, treating Yan Ling with no respect whatsoever.
Thinking of Jiang Xin's complete obedience, Yan Ling simply couldn't bear their contempt for her.
He did try to manipulate them, but they weren't fooled at all. They even bluntly told him that if you're going to be a kept man, you should have the right attitude and not try to force yourself on him.
Seeing that the wealthy women he had dated before were not easily fooled, Yanling gradually gave up on that idea. He was poor, but he had integrity! He would not compromise his principles for money.
