With over 200,000 yuan in his pocket, Sun Xiaohao immediately felt more confident. After taking medication at the hospital and resting for two days, he followed Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin back to Qingyang City. He was pampered and well-fed at home, spending two comfortable weeks there. Then, feeling bored at home, he left again, under the pretext of seeking business opportunities elsewhere.
He and Shi Xuejiao met after this trip.
After graduating from junior high school, Shi Xuejiao worked as a factory girl for several years. Her parents, who had no permanent jobs, relied on odd jobs to make ends meet. After Shi Xuejiao began earning enough money, her parents asked her to send most of her salary back home every month.
Once, Shi Xuejiao got appendicitis and needed surgery, but her meager savings were not enough to pay for the surgery, so she had to ask her parents for money.
But she was ruthlessly rejected and Shi Xuejiao was humiliated and scolded with the most vicious words.
"Where do we get the money? You're such a grown man, and you can't even come up with this little money. You might as well just die!"
"Look at the girl from the Wang family next door. She's not even as pretty as you, yet she's already become someone's concubine. Look at what her parents eat, wear, and use; every single thing is provided by her daughter!"
[If you don't have money, go out and sell yourself. Don't come back and cry to us. We've done our best to raise you!]
. . . . . .
Shi Xuejiao grew up under her parents' repressive education and she longed for their approval.
This time, she was truly disappointed with her parents and decided to break off all ties with them.
She borrowed money from friends to get through this difficult time. After recovering, she returned to the factory to work, earning 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month on a piecework basis. She used to keep only 1,000 yuan for living expenses and gave the rest to her parents, hoping they would see her hard work. Now, she no longer plans to live for others, no longer expecting her parents' approval, and saves all her wages for herself, leading a much more comfortable life.
She could also go shopping on her day off like the other girls in the factory, buy beautiful clothes she liked, eat delicious food, and have a cup of milk tea that she rarely bought before.
She couldn't help but sigh: Ah, so this is life!
With some savings, Shi Xuejiao has higher and higher expectations for her future life and knows how to enjoy life better.
During a short holiday, she accepted the invitation of a friend and went on a trip to Dian City.
Sun Xiaohao had recently received a windfall from his parents, but instead of pursuing business opportunities as he had promised Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin, he immediately called up two of his regular friends and booked flights to Dian City for a spontaneous, high-quality trip. Rather than being Sun Xiaohao's friends, the two were more likely to be his companions, enjoying free meals and drinks.
One of them was acquainted with a female friend of Shi Xuejiao, and the two took this opportunity to get together for a drinking party.
Sun Xiaohao and Shi Xuejiao met unexpectedly in a bar in Dian City. Sun Xiaohao was attracted by Shi Xuejiao's beautiful face and took the initiative to talk to her and even rushed to pay the bill for Shi Xuejiao and her friends.
Through chatting, the two found out that they were from the same hometown, both from Qingyang City, but Sun Xiaohao's home was in the urban area, while Shi Xuejiao's home was in the countryside dozens of kilometers away from the urban area.
The identity of being a fellow villager quickly brought the two closer together. Sun Xiaohao successfully added Shi Xuejiao's WeChat. His acquired conversation and temperament were very confusing to a girl like Shi Xuejiao.
In addition, Sun Xiaohao was willing to spend a lot of money to pursue Shi Xuejiao, taking her to various high-end restaurants, buying her all kinds of clothes, bags, and cosmetics that she would not be willing to spend, and taking the initiative to drive her every time she went out. All of these greatly satisfied Shi Xuejiao's vanity.
Soon, the two broke the boundaries and their relationship made substantial progress.
When Sun Xiaohao brought Shi Xuejiao home to introduce her to his parents and announced his intention to marry her, Yuan Jie, Sun Aimin, and even the rest of the family were opposed. Shi Xuejiao's rural background, junior high school education, and factory-age experience were secondary considerations. The main issue was her appearance, dress, and daily demeanor, which didn't seem like someone who could live a stable life. Furthermore, she had two younger brothers, and her area was notorious for favoring boys over girls. With neither of her parents having a formal job or a means of earning a living, the family's financial situation was precarious, and the brothers were likely to rely on their older sister for support.
Marrying a daughter-in-law like this is equivalent to being responsible for the birth, old age, sickness and death of the whole family, and there will be a lot of troubles.
After meeting Shi Xuejiao's parents, the family's opposition to their marriage became even stronger.
But in the end, he could not resist Sun Xiaohao's persistence and suicidal behavior. In addition, he and Shi Xuejiao were already husband and wife, which ruined the girl's innocence. During the time when he was arguing with his family about getting married, he deliberately did not take any measures, causing Shi Xuejiao to get pregnant before marriage, forcing his family to give in.
In the end, Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin had no choice but to compromise.
The wedding room was ready, and the wedding was held in their own hotel, which saved a lot of trouble.
This marriage was exactly as the Sun and Yuan families had expected. After marriage, Shi Xuejiao was very concerned about her parents' family. It could be said that she had forgotten the pain after the wound healed.
She wanted to show her parents and two younger brothers, who had always been mean to her, how prosperous and affluent she was now. Shi Xuejiao was deeply touched by the dramatic change in her family's attitude after she got married. Especially every time she returned to her parents' home, the fawning attitude of her family made her feel proud, as if she had inadvertently healed the various psychological traumas left over from her childhood.
But she also knew that she was not well-liked by her in-laws and her position was not stable, so she was quite sensible in her actions and had already warned her family: "If any of you dare to go to my in-laws without my knowledge, I will either break off all ties with you or become a helpless pauper like you were before. No one can expect it!"
