Su Xueli thought she would finish eating quickly and go to Yan Yan's house to talk to her, so that these women wouldn't feed their children and then bring up her and Wei Mingshen to annoy her.
She quietly asked Liu Fengying, "How has Yan Yan been these past few days? Have her parents been making things difficult for her?"
Liu Fengying shook her head. "They had a huge fight the day before yesterday. They were cursing her for being a waste of money. Gao Diyan gave her mother some money before it calmed down. Oh, poor girl, how could she have such parents? She'll be getting married in a few months, and she won't have to suffer like this then."
Su Xueli smiled bitterly; her life was even more miserable after she got married.
"Sherry!" came Yan Yan's cautious voice from the courtyard gate.
Su Xueli quickly got up and ran outside, "Yan Yan, I was just saying I was going to find you, come into my room and let's talk."
Yan Yan stood outside the courtyard gate, waving her hand in refusal, "You have guests, it's not appropriate for me to go."
Su Xueli said, "It's okay, let's talk in my room."
Yan Yan asked again, "Have you finished eating?"
Su Xueli said, "Let's go to my room now that we've finished eating."
The two entered Su Xueli's room and closed the door. She took out melon seeds and candy for Yan Yan to eat.
Yan Yan waved her hand, her eyes reddening, and said, "Xue Li, I almost went to your in-laws' house to look for you these past few days. I've been so heartbroken..."
Su Xueli, knowing that her parents had been pressuring her to give them money, asked, "How much money did you give them?"
Yan Yan shook her head, "Xue Li, this isn't my family's business, it's his business. You guessed right..."
"Is it Cui Huabiao?"
Yan Yan sobbed, "Yes, he came to my house the night before last and actually told me that Secretary Zhang likes me, and that if he wants to get a job in the town government, it all depends on me, sob sob sob..."
Yan Yan cried, feeling both sad and ashamed.
Su Xueli was quite pleased, as it allowed Yan Yan to see through that scumbag's character before the marriage, so that she could cut her losses in time.
She held the helpless Yan Yan in her arms, patted her back to comfort her, and said, "Yan Yan, I warned you before, that scumbag is wicked and doesn't love you at all. He doesn't deserve you. You'll suffer if you marry him."
Now that you know about his shameless behavior, what are you planning to do?
Yan Yan said painfully, "What can I do? I will not agree to this."
Su Xueli asked, "You just disagree, but are you still thinking about marrying him?"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Yan Yan said, "We've already set a date, so we can't just break off the engagement now, can we? My parents would probably kick me out of the house and say I've brought shame on them."
Su Xueli understood Yan Yan's situation and encouraged her, saying, "Yan Yan, you have already taken the first step with strength. You are doing business on your own and holding the money in your own hands. You are very successful. So keep taking two steps, three steps, and keep going strong. Walk the path of your dreams."
Yan Yan looked at Su Xue Li and asked, "Xue Li, but if I break off my engagement with Cui Hua Biao, I have to return the fabric that we used for the engagement."
But all that fabric was used by my mother to make clothes for my younger brother, and what she couldn't use to make clothes for them was given away as gifts. Now that it's all been used to make clothes for me, how am I supposed to give it back to him?
Su Xueli said, "It's not worth much money. Just go to the market and buy some more cloth to return it to him, just like before."
Yan Yan said, "That's a lot of money. I don't have that much money on hand. Besides, there are still some miscellaneous things from the engagement. He's so stingy. If I break off the engagement with him, I'll have to pay him back in cash."
