Lin Chaosheng said dejectedly, "Wouldn't this be delaying your search for happiness?"
I feel that I can only be happy with you!
Lin Shansheng looked at Li Qiaozhen with sadness in his eyes, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let me think about it and then I'll give you an answer, okay?"
Li Qiaozhen stopped and sighed, "You're right, I shouldn't have pressured you like this. Just leave me here."
Looking at the gambling den so close by, Lin Shansheng said helplessly, "Alright, I'll head back now."
Lin Shansheng watched Li Qiaozhen enter the casino, feeling very reluctant to part with her, as if this farewell would be the last.
Li Qiaozhen felt Lin Shansheng's eager gaze, turned around and smiled gently: "Go back now!"
Lin Shansheng slunk home after hearing this.
Lin Chaosheng had already returned home and was excitedly planning to tell Liang Mei about these things.
"Come here, I need to talk to you about something!" Lin Chaosheng pulled Liang Mei, who was packing her things, over.
Liang Mei was pulled into the room, looking puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Lin Chaosheng lowered his voice and quietly told Liang Mei everything he had overheard while hiding behind the bushes.
Liang Mei was initially excited after hearing this, but then felt a pang of regret. "If Shan Sheng had to leave our house and go to the city to make a living on his own, he would definitely be anxious, after all, he's still so old."
"That's exactly what I'm saying. Besides, Shansheng hasn't learned any particularly refined skills, so he probably wouldn't be able to go to the city alone. That's why I think it's one of the reasons why he didn't agree to Sister Qiaozhen's request on the spot."
After listening, Liang Mei sighed, "There's nothing we can do. He has to figure it out himself. If he still doesn't dare, then no matter how we try to persuade him, it won't work."
Lin Chaosheng fell silent, sitting to the side without saying a word. He regretted not becoming a better person sooner, so that he could earn more money to support Lin Shansheng in learning a trade. Now Lin Shansheng would have the courage and confidence to go to the city with Li Qiaozhen to make a living.
Liang Mei probably sensed what Lin Chaosheng was thinking and quickly comforted him, "You mustn't blame yourself for this! Everyone makes mistakes, and it's not too late for you to turn over a new leaf. You've already achieved so much, which is already quite impressive!"
Lin Chaosheng was touched by Liang Mei's words. He hugged this woman who loved him so deeply and always supported and encouraged him when he was in trouble.
"Xiaomei, you're so good to me! I will definitely work harder in the future to give you a better life!" Lin Chaosheng promised.
As Lin Chaosheng was saying this, he suddenly remembered that there was something important he hadn't done yet, so he quickly stood up. "Oh right, I haven't taken you to your prenatal checkup yet! I happen to have some free time now, let's go!"
"What are you going out of here? What time is it!" Liang Mei grabbed Lin Chaosheng, who was about to leave.
Lin Chaosheng then slapped his forehead, "Look at me, it's already so late, I've worked myself silly!"
"Alright, let's go out for dinner. Go to bed early tonight and go for the check-up tomorrow morning." Liang Mei pulled Lin Chaosheng and walked outside.
Just then, Lin Shansheng returned home, looking listless.
Zhao Shufang placed the dishes on the table and looked up to see Lin Shansheng's unhappy face. She immediately asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so unhappy?"
"It's nothing," Lin Shansheng casually brushed off, "I'm just too tired."
Lin Shanhai sensed something was wrong and asked, "Come on, something's definitely up. Tell me quickly!"
Lin Shansheng shoveled a couple of mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, and after everyone sat down, he quickly chewed a couple more times and swallowed it. "I want to go to the city to work."
Zhao Shufang and Lin Shanhai were stunned, holding their bowls and chopsticks, and looked at Lin Shansheng in surprise.
"Why...why do you want to go to the city?" Zhao Shufang asked, puzzled.
Lin Shanhai also got anxious, "That's right! You've been staying at home just fine, why do you suddenly want to go to the city to work?"
Lin Chaosheng and Liang Mei knew the inside story, so they didn't ask any more questions. They exchanged a glance and then lowered their heads to continue eating.
Liang Fu felt very sad when she heard Lin Shansheng's words. She didn't understand why Lin Shansheng wanted to go to the city to work, but given her current status, how could she have such a big reaction? So she lowered her head and ate her food without saying a word, but she listened intently.
“Me,” Lin Shansheng put down his chopsticks and sighed, “the person I like asked me if I wanted to go to the city with her.”
"The person you like? Are you dating someone? Whose family is it? How old are they? What do their parents do?" Zhao Shufang fired off a barrage of questions like cannonballs.
Lin Shanhai gently patted the excited Zhao Shufang and asked, "If they want you to go to the city, you should just go with them. You can't be dating from so far apart, can you?"
When Liang Fu heard that Lin Shansheng had someone he liked and was going to leave with that person, her hands trembled uncontrollably with sadness, but she still didn't show much emotion.
“If I go to the city, I won’t be back anytime soon. I’m going to work hard with someone in the city to give them a future,” Lin Shansheng said, becoming more and more agitated. “That’s why I’m hesitating about whether to go or not. First, I don’t want to leave you all, and second, I don’t have any real skills…”
"Hey, you can't say that!" Lin Chaosheng stopped Lin Shansheng from belittling himself like that.
Zhao Shufang hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, your brother is right. Even if you haven't learned any skills, you're willing to work hard! Even setting up a stall isn't out of the question. Your mother sets up a stall every day! Besides, your brother, sister-in-law, and Xiao Fu are here. You don't need to worry about me and your father!"
Lin Shanhai chimed in, "Yes, yes, your mother is right! Young people should go out and make a living. Besides, you and the girl like each other, how can you back down now? That would be such a waste!"
Lin Chaosheng winked at Liang Mei and whispered, "See? I don't even need to persuade him."
Liang Mei chuckled to herself, "I think Mom and Dad are right. Look at your brother, he's so willing to take risks, otherwise our family wouldn't have the life we have now. Besides, it's not a bad thing to go out and see the world!"
Hearing everyone encourage him, Lin Shansheng felt a surge of courage. "Really? Can I really do well in the city?"
Zhao Shufang said, "Stop dawdling. If you want to give this girl a future, then go out and work hard. You can learn things later if you don't know them now, unless you're unwilling to learn! You're not like your mother at all. Look how decisive I am!"
Lin Shanhai quickly comforted Zhao Shufang and said to Lin Shansheng, "That's right, the girl likes you, but you're afraid of this and that, how can that be?"
