Chapter 104
Cui Panpan finally left crying.
Ni Hao returned to the store with his head down, feeling annoyed and not knowing what to say.
Jian Li had a bad gossip, and had no one to share it with, so she could only tell Wang Mengmei about it when she was washing up in the evening.
When Wang Mengmei went to the bathroom, she followed in. When Wang Mengmei put on her clothes, she followed behind.
She followed Wang Mengmei, and Wang Facai followed her.
Two people and a dog were running around in the house.
"Cui Panpan cried so hard, she said she didn't want her name added to the house, she wouldn't listen to anything Haozi said. Later Haozi had to make an excuse, saying he had a girlfriend."
Jian Li looked like she was still not satisfied: "Mom, do you think Haozi really has a girlfriend? What if Cui Panpan comes looking for him again and he can't find a girlfriend?"
Wang Mengmei: "Look how worried I am about you."
This whole night, he kept chattering away like a puppy chasing its feet.
Jian Li: "I'm just curious. Does he really have a girlfriend?"
There is nothing more interesting than gossip.
Wang Mengmei put on her clothes and said, "Who knows? Anyway, I have never seen it."
I don’t know whether they really talked about it, or if Jian Li was just trying to fool Cui Panpan as she said.
But it doesn't matter whether it's an excuse or not, the possibility of Cui Panpan and Ni Hao getting back together is slim.
Ni Hao's mother was very firm in front of her, saying that she would never let Cui Panpan enter the house no matter what.
What Ni Hao said at the engagement party made Ni Hao's mother so angry that she ignored him for half a month.
In Ni Hao's mother's own words.
"Isn't he just trying to endure it? If Cui Panpan really wanted to live with him, would she not even give him a definite answer?"
It's obvious that he hasn't realized the fact that his parents are blood suckers.
Ni Hao's mother doesn't want such a daughter-in-law who is confused.
She even thought that it was better for her son to be alone for the rest of his life than to have a bad daughter-in-law.
I just don’t know what Ni Hao thinks.
It seems like he understands it, but he can't seem to make up his mind.
Cui Panpan comes again and again, which is not a good thing for both of them.
"I'll ask Ni Hao tomorrow."
After all, since they were master and disciple, Wang Mengmei couldn't just ignore it.
The next day when she arrived at the store, the first person Wang Mengmei saw was Xue Ling, who was wearing big earrings.
"…Why are you dressed so nicely today?"
Xue Ling not only wore big earrings, but also put on powder and ironed her clothes.
Xue Ling pouted: "Your apprentice gave me fifty yuan and asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend."
Wang Mengmei: …
Ni Hao was really at his wit's end. He probably didn't sleep much last night, so he came up with this idea.
Xue Ling twisted her earrings awkwardly: "I told you, I can't act, so I'll just send someone to help him deal with Cui Panpan."
As for whether Cui Panpan believed it or not, and whether she would cry and make a fuss after believing it, that was all Ni Hao’s own business.
As he was talking, Ni Hao came in from outside. He was dressed up today, and there were obvious signs of ironing on his upper body. He was no longer wearing his old tattered cloth shoes, but a pair of sneakers.
When Ni Hao and Xue Ling met, they both felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Wang Mengmei was there, so they both tried their best to talk to Wang Mengmei.
Wang Mengmei asked Ni Hao what he was going to say later.
Ni Hao: "Just talk about it outside."
Having said that, if Cui Panpan still doesn't wake up, there's nothing he can do.
Xue Ling: "Hey, hey, hey, we agreed that this is just this time. If she comes again, I won't care."
Ni Hao quickly expressed his opinion: "Definitely, definitely."
Originally, Wang Mengmei went to Xindian first, leaving the two of them here would have been enough to cause gossip. If they came a few more times, it would also have an impact on Xue Ling's reputation.
Ni Hao was extremely embarrassed. In his eyes, Xue Ling was just a little sister. He suddenly asked Xue Ling to pretend to be his girlfriend, and he felt so embarrassed as if he had done something wrong.
Fortunately, this feeling of helplessness did not last long. Cui Panpan arrived at around ten o'clock in the morning.
Find Ni Hao.
Ni Hao and Xue Ling looked at each other, and then they went out together.
When Cui Panpan saw Xue Ling, she thought Xue Ling was going to buy groceries, but Xue Ling stopped beside Ni Hao and actually put her arm around him!
Cui Panpan was heartbroken.
She looked at Ni Hao accusingly.
Ni Hao gritted his teeth and said, "Pan Pan, we are really done."
Cui Panpan held back tears, she thought what Ni Hao said was just an excuse.
What girlfriend, what blind date, what ending, they are just small tribulations for the two of them, and they will still be together in the future.
But Xue Ling said nothing, just stood there, announcing the shattering of her beautiful dream.
"Why?"
Cui Panpan said bitterly: "Is it because of the house?"
Hearing the word "house" again, Ni Hao dropped his arms helplessly. But thinking that this was the last chance to make things clear with Cui Panpan, he explained: "Panpan, whether you believe it or not, I don't really care about the house that much."
"We are together, I believe you will live well with me."
Cui Panpan suddenly became excited: "Since you believe me, it's because of the house!"
If it wasn't for the house, why would Ni Hao choose not to marry her!
But she doesn't want the house anymore!
Ni Hao's eyes were filled with pain: "Really not, I'm just... scared."
"I'm afraid I'll be alone after marriage."
Cui Panpan didn't understand.
Xue Ling seemed to be touched and stared at Ni Hao in a daze.
Ni Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Pan Pan, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just remember and be nice to yourself. Although my mother said that estrangement does not separate relatives, but after thinking about it, it seems that no one else would tell you this except me."
"Pan Pan, your parents are not good to you. It is a wrong idea to favor boys over girls."
Ni Hao said seriously, "Your parents always say that you and your sister help each other, but in fact, it is all one-sided effort on your part. Your parents are not very old. Many people of this age are still working. It is not the time for them to put the burden of the family on their children."
Parents like Ni Hao and Xue Ling still want to give to their children.
"Your parents always complain about their hard work, but you are the one who works the hardest in that family."
Cui's father and mother were not doing well in selling vegetables, so the stall was entirely managed by Cui Panpan.
Not to mention that Cui Panpan had to go out to help others at night, while her parents went to bed early at home and never left her a bowl of rice.
"Pan Pan, think about it carefully and consider yourself more in the future. Marriage is not a way for you to escape from your family. You can't expect your partner to resist your parents."
It was like a thunderclap, and Cui Panpan's mind went blank.
Ni Hao knows!
She was so embarrassed that she could hardly stand.
Her most secret thoughts were revealed by Ni Hao, and Cui Panpan was almost staggering.
Xue Ling quickly caught Cui Panpan who was about to fall, and yelled at Ni Hao: "Stop talking!"
It's exciting to watch!
Ni Hao didn't know where to put his hands. He wanted to help, but he didn't know whether he should.
Cui Panpan's tears rolled down her cheeks, but this time, she didn't cry out loud. She just let her tears flow silently.
She knew she shouldn't have such thoughts, but she did have such a secret hope.
Her love for Ni Hao was not only because of the beauty of first love, but also because she wanted to escape from her family.
How could she not know that her parents were partial to her after all these years?
The whole family left their hometown just because the parents wanted to avoid family planning.
When she was eight or nine years old, she insisted on having a younger brother, under the pretext of giving her a companion.
But since her younger brother was born, she has had an extra burden.
The way her parents looked at her year after year was no different from the way they looked at a pig waiting to be slaughtered during the Chinese New Year, calculating when she could be sold for a good price.
Cui Panpan lived in fear until she met the straightforward Ni Hao.
Ni Hao gave her unconditional love, which often made her feel ashamed.
Especially after meeting Ni Hao's family, Cui Panpan would wake up in the middle of the night every day.
A good life was beckoning to her, but she felt that there was an abyss around her.
Cui Panpan did not dare to disobey her parents, nor did she want to. The concept of filial piety was deeply rooted in her heart, and she felt guilty even thinking about being disobedient to her parents.
But she felt too tired.
Her parents and younger brother were like three huge mountains, pressing her down to the point where she couldn't breathe.
She regarded Ni Hao as her savior and even more as a life-saving straw that could save her from the dire straits.
She hoped that Ni Hao would take responsibility for the accusation of being unfilial towards her, and she also hoped that Ni Hao could take her away from that cannibalistic family.
But Ni Hao was unwilling to take on even the first hurdle for her, which made Cui Panpan even more desperate after her disappointment.
It's not that she has to cling to Ni Hao, but she knows very well that if Ni Hao, who loves her so deeply, is unwilling to accept such a burden, then other men will not accept it either.
But...but she never thought that Ni Hao already knew it.
Cui Panpan burst into tears fiercely, and the despair of life was about to drown her.
"I'm sorry, I really have no choice."
She had no choice. She couldn't turn a blind eye to her parents, but she also couldn't bear these three huge burdens.
She needed someone to share the burden with her, or someone who could pull her away so that she wouldn't have to bear the accusations of filial piety. Ni Hao said that she was using marriage to escape from her family, which just touched the deepest part of her heart that she was most unwilling to admit.
She was unwilling to admit that she was such an unfilial person. Because she was unwilling to admit it, she had been stubbornly deceiving herself all these years, deceiving herself that she was not dissatisfied, but was just being filial.
Filial piety means that she gives voluntarily instead of being exploited by her parents.
Cui Panpan said sorry vigorously.
Ni Hao fell into powerlessness again: "Panpan, that's not what I meant..." He didn't mean to blame Cui Panpan, he just wanted to tell the girl he loved that if marriage was used as a shield, she would easily fall into the abyss of being used again.
His mother analyzed Cui Panpan's family problems for him and said scathingly: "If she can't figure it out, she will end up eating up her parents' family and then her husband's family."
These words were so terrifying that Ni Hao shuddered.
Cui Panpan struggled to get up: "I won't come to see you again."
After being discovered by Ni Hao, she was too embarrassed to come. What's more, Ni Hao already had a girlfriend.
Ni Hao felt a little reluctant, but in the end he didn't call her.
Xue Ling was silent for a while, then murmured, "You are so cruel."
Cui Panpan was hit so hard that no one knew what would happen next.
Ni Hao opened the door curtain: "Go back."
He hoped more than anyone else that Cui Panpan would be happy and sober in the future.
*****
Cui Panpan's matter came to an end. About half a month before the Chinese New Year, Ni Hao and Xue Ling cleaned the store and began to move things out one after another.
The sign of "Evergreen Restaurant" was hung and the new store on the second floor was officially opened.
On the first day of business on the second floor, Wang Mengmei adopted the new proposal put forward by Jian Li.
