Hearing Wang Fan's words, Su Lin became even more embarrassed and lowered her head to give a soft "hmm".
"You don't have to do anything from now on. Just stay at home, cook for me, and when we have kids, you can take care of them yourself. Don't worry about anything, just stay home and relax, okay?"
Su Lin was about to nod when she hesitated, then said shyly, "What? I have to work too." She thought to herself, "A woman should never become someone who only revolves around the stove. If we're going to cook, we'll cook together. That's the principle."
Wang Fan looked at her and said, "I think you don't need to work anymore. I can support you."
“I can work on my own, I don’t need you to support me, let’s work hard together,” Su Lin said with great ambition.
“...What I mean is, after we get married, you won’t have to work anymore. You can just stay home and enjoy life. Your job... will go to Wang Jing. That way, she won’t have to go to the countryside anymore. Our whole family can stay together properly.”
"..." Su Lin thought she had misheard.
"What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."
Wang Fan said, "Su Lin, you don't have parents, and your education is only vocational school, but my parents don't look down on you. You've seen our family's situation; we're not bad, and we don't need you to work and earn money. Really, I can support you for the rest of your life."
Su Lin stared blankly at him, but her mind was filled with the question she had asked her older sister before: why was her brother-in-law so successful, yet her sister still had to work so hard?
How did my eldest sister come to be?
"Relying on your brother-in-law to support you? When I loved you, I supported you for life. When I didn't love you, you ate my food, wore my clothes, and used my things all these years. Don't give me any talk about human rights... If you don't understand what I mean, let me put it simply: aren't pigs also raised by people? So whenever we want to slaughter a pig, the pig can't resist. Look at the old oxen that help farmers work, who dares to touch them? You understand? That's the principle."
…………
When Su Yu was so busy that she barely had time to breathe, Su Lin came looking for her again.
Su Yu said, "I'm really busy, I don't have time to see your boyfriend." Then she looked up and saw that Su Lin's eyes were swollen like walnuts.
What's wrong with you?
"Sis, someone wants to raise me like a pig!" Su Lin said angrily. Does she look like a pig? What gives them the right?
Su Yu didn't react for a moment, "Say it nicely."
Su Lin pouted and angrily recounted all the nonsense her boyfriend had said.
Su Yu listened calmly, then asked, "So, are you still planning to continue the relationship?"
"It's over!" She'd cried all she needed to cry yesterday, and felt all the sadness she needed to feel. The lost love had been buried by her.
She doesn't want a man who wants to raise her like a pig. What if she gets slaughtered somewhere?
Su Yu was quite satisfied after hearing this. He wasn't out of his mind; he was still quite clear-headed.
"Even an old ox will be eaten after it dies of old age. Are you sure you want to be an old ox?"
"But I don't want to be a pig either," Su Yu said dejectedly.
"Why don't you ever think about being an upright person?"
Su Lin, "..."
Su Yu said, "Be a person who strives for progress, and don't let anyone stop you from improving yourself. You see, men may deceive you, but your knowledge will not deceive you. Your work will not deceive you either."
Su Lin felt that her sister's words were truly insightful.
When she returned to the office the second time, she was ready to work hard. But then Wang Fan approached her again.
After all, the Wang family is quite anxious now. The matter was too sudden, and they didn't even have time to arrange jobs. The family was trying to find connections, but families with connections were all busy arranging jobs for their own children. Quite a few people have already been placed in jobs at the newspaper alone.
They're all relatives of the big bosses.
Wang Fan planned to have a serious talk with Su Lin. Su Lin, still feeling a bit upset when she saw him, said, "There's nothing to talk about. I won't give up my job."
"Su Lin, why don't you believe me? I really will support you for the rest of your life. Wang Jing really needs this job."
"Then why don't you give up your job and let me support you?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Fan's lips moved, and he stammered, "But your education level is lower than mine, your rank is lower than mine, and your salary is lower than mine..."
Su Lin was furious; she never imagined that people would see her this way. "Then why did you contact me in the first place?"
"I'm not planning to find someone better than me."
Su Lin was so angry she felt dizzy. So, the reason they sought her out was because she was weak. She wasn't stupid; why would they choose someone weak? Because they were easy to raise like a pig. If it were her older sister, who would dare say that to her?
No, that kind of person could never get close to her sister!
"We're done, we've broken up, don't contact me again. You scumbag!" After cursing, Su Lin went to find her sister again.
This time, he was quite decisive and decided to go to university.
She is currently employed, so she can apply for a temporary post-secondment for further study. This won't take up any of her employer's enrollment slots, since they all belong to her employer.
Su Yu told her to apply to her supervisor herself. They could discuss it further if things changed. Anyway, based on Su Lin's performance at work, she should be able to go smoothly if nothing unexpected happened. Su Yu would only intervene if someone tried to use connections.
Not long after, Su Lin applied to study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
Su Lin initially thought things would go smoothly, but after Wang Fan found out, he intervened and had a close friend or superior block her application. He then tried to persuade Su Lin to change her mind.
Without saying a word, Su Lin called her sister.
Mayor Song called very quickly.
The Publicity Bureau quickly approved Su Lin's application. After Su Lin completed the formalities, Wang Fan hurried to see his superiors.
"You're still calling me? You're going to get me killed!" The director looked at his subordinate, with whom he usually had a good relationship, his forehead sweating with anger. "Do you know who just called? Mayor Song! He asked me about our unit's application for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and he specifically asked about Su Lin's situation."
