Lin Ruyan's heart skipped a beat, and she had a feeling that what her mother told him was not good.
Guan Yurong curved her lips towards her and said, "You'll know when we get home."
Lin Ruyan returned to the small house with Guan Yurong feeling nervous all the way.
"Mom, what do you want to tell me?"
Guan Yurong pulled Lin Ruyan to sit down. "Ruyan, did you meet Ziheng yesterday? What's your impression of him?"
Lin Ruyan understood something instantly.
Suddenly she remembered that Wu Yan treated her strangely yesterday, and then Zhang Ziheng watched her outside the window of the Finance Department, and when she got off work, Zhang Ziheng stopped her and talked to her.
Her mother and Wu Yan had a secret conversation and didn't let her know. It must be related to Zhang Ziheng.
"Mom, what do you mean? You don't want to introduce me to him, do you?"
"Ruyan, Ziheng's family is so well-off, and he's a junior cadre in the factory. What's wrong with you marrying him?"
"Mom, do you think I can like him?"
Guan Yurong seemed to have expected her to say that, and her expression did not change.
"Ruyan, you looked down on him, but that was in the past. Back then, Fang Suyun and Xu Nuannuan hadn't appeared yet. Your mother and I were still the legitimate daughter of the Guan family, and you were still the Guan family's pampered granddaughter. With the Guan family as our backing, we certainly didn't have to compromise.
But our situation is different from before. Your grandparents and your uncle don’t value me anymore. They only have their own daughters, sisters, granddaughters and nieces in their eyes. They don’t take us seriously at all.
Mom is also thinking about you. Mom wants to find you a good family you can rely on, so that even if you leave the Guan family, you can still live a good life."
"Mom, I don't want that kind of life. I have hands and feet. I want to be self-reliant and support myself. I don't need to rely on anyone, and I don't want to marry into the Zhang family."
Guan Yurong's face immediately darkened.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Rely on yourself? Don't you think about how much money you can earn and what you can buy?"
"Mom, besides working in the factory, I can also write articles. Even if I don't earn much, I can just spend less. Why do I have to rely on others?"
"But if you rely on yourself alone, you'll have to depend on other people's faces at the factory. A small financial team leader can give you the cold shoulder. Whether you've done something wrong or not, people can scold you and make things difficult for you. If you marry into the Zhang family, it will be different. Even if you do something wrong, no one will dare to say anything to you."
"Mom, if I didn't do anything wrong and they were deliberately making things difficult for me, I would have a way to deal with it. There are so many people in the factory, and now it's a new society. Don't we have human rights anymore?
Mom, why don't you leave the Guan family, live on your own, support yourself, and your daughter can also support you, what's wrong with that?"
"No, you can live that kind of life, but I can't, Ruyan. Mom is doing this for your own good."
She used to be the daughter of a chieftain, and had always been high and mighty, with no shortage of food, clothing, or money to spend.
Now, if she is asked to live like an ordinary person, earning 20 or 30 yuan a month, not being able to eat or wear enough, living a tight life, and having to rely on others from time to time and having to live according to other people's wishes, she can't do it.
"Ruyan, since you don't want to, I'll tell you the truth. You must marry into the Zhang family. If you marry, we'll not only be clinging to the Zhang family, but also to the chairman of the Revolutionary Committee behind them. Have you thought about that?"
Lin Ruyan didn't expect her mother's plan to be so profound.
The Zhang family alone could not satisfy her mother at all, she also wanted to get close to the director of the Revolutionary Committee.
"Mom, I don't want to cling to anyone, and I don't need to cling to them. I will never marry Zhang Ziheng."
Mo Wuwei is still waiting for her in the countryside, how can she marry another man?
"You don't want me, I want you. You don't need me, I need you. Ruyan, Mom doesn't want to live an ordinary life. Just think of it as doing this for Mom. Will you marry me?"
"What?"
Lin Ruyan already had this premonition, and now after hearing Guan Yurong say this, she realized that her mother really just wanted to use her and treat her as a tool to exchange benefits.
"Mom, I really don't want to marry Zhang Ziheng. Please don't force me, okay? You should also think about me."
Bang!
A slap hit her in the face.
"You silly girl, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. If you don't want to marry Ziheng, you must be unable to let go of that Mo guy. He's already a cripple, so why can't you let him go? Ziheng isn't a thousand times or a hundred times better than her."
Lin Ruyan covered her aching cheek and shook her head. "No, Mom. No one can compare to Teacher Mo. I'll either stay single or marry him. I won't marry anyone else."
Bang!
Another slap came down.
Guan Yurong gritted her teeth in anger, "Why are you so stupid?"
"Mom, do you know? Teacher Mo was injured because of me. He went to the mountains to drink because he knew I was coming back. He drank until he was unconscious and was bitten by a wild boar. Moreover, all the suffering he has suffered since he was sent down was caused by me."
"I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it. Don't tell me that. I gave birth to you and raised you up, was it all in vain? Was it all in vain? Well, if that's the case, since you don't remember my kindness in giving birth to me, I won't acknowledge you as my daughter. If you want to find that cripple, go find him. I won't stop you. From now on, we have no relationship as mother and daughter."
"Mom, why are you doing this?" Lin Ruyan knelt down in front of her crying, "Mom, why do you have to force me? I really don't like that Zhang Ziheng, please don't let me marry him."
