Chapter 753: It Seems Like a World Ago
"Mom, don't go to the construction site anymore. Just take care of the family. I will find a job for you as soon as possible."
"Song Xiao, your life will not change. I will give you your monthly living expenses on time, but your living expenses will be linked to your academic performance at the end of each semester. The standard will be set by me."
"I'm staying here for you. Since I'm the one supporting the family, I'll be the one making the decisions on all matters big and small in this family from now on."
After Song Cun finished speaking, she looked up at her mother and Song Xiao.
Her mother's face flushed red as she angrily said, "Your father just left..."
"If nothing had happened to him, I wouldn't be standing here. If you can accept it, then accept it. If not, there's no other choice at this point."
After Song Cun finished speaking, he pushed open the bedroom door and went in.
The door closed behind him. Song Cun took two steps inside, lowered his gaze, and saw the desk he had used since he was a child. His dry eyes became moist again.
Her father made that table for her when she was in the second grade of elementary school using discarded wood from the construction site.
The image of my father lying in the morgue, his pale and cold face, appeared before my eyes again.
Some people say that the most painful thing about losing a loved one is not the moment of loss, nor the time in the morgue, but every moment you think of him in the future, seeing the chair he often sat on, the wine glass he used, the slippers he wore... remembering his voice and appearance, and thinking how great it would be if he were still alive.
Song Cun tried hard to hold back his tears and sat down on the chair.
She called her department head, explained her family situation, and submitted her resignation.
After hanging up the phone, she saw several missed calls on her phone.
Some of the calls were from Jiang Yuan, and some were from several classmates. She was still on the plane at that time, so she didn't answer any of these calls.
She held the phone tightly, paused for a few seconds, and called Jiang Yuan.
The call was connected almost immediately, and a familiar voice rang in my ears.
"Song Cun, I finally got in touch. What happened at home? Why did you go back without saying a word?"
"Ginger Round"
Song Cun's voice was hoarse, and his throat was blocked. As soon as he spoke, tears burst out, "My father passed away."
There was silence on the other side for several seconds, and then Jiang Yuan's low voice came over: "Was it an accident?"
Jiang Yuan was pregnant, and Song Cun didn't want to vent his emotions in front of her. She pressed her eyes with the back of her hand, trying to stop the tears. She was silent for a long time before she calmed down and said calmly, "He had an accident at the construction site this morning and was sent to the hospital, but he didn't make it back.
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds, and then Jiang Yuan's voice, clearly choked with sobs, came over. "Song Cun, cheer up. The most urgent thing is to finish your uncle's funeral and negotiate with the construction site. I can't go over to help you in my current situation, but Liang Zhouheng should be on the plane by now. With him around, these things won't be difficult to handle."
When Song Cuncha heard the name, she suddenly felt as if she was in another world. She remembered the brief phone call in the taxi, and her heart ached again.
She said calmly, "I've already broken up with him. If you can get in touch with him, tell him I don't want to see him anymore and ask him to go back."
Jiang Yuan: "Why? What happened between you two?"
Song Cun didn't want to mention the photo to anyone. Even now, she didn't want to expose any negative news about him to others.
"I feel exhausted being with him. Maybe we were never compatible. I don't want to continue this relationship, and I've decided to stay in my hometown."
Jiang Yuan's voice was clearly anxious on the phone. "Song Cun, don't make a hasty decision about such a big thing. Have you forgotten why you stayed in Beicheng in the first place? If you need to take care of your family, you can bring them over. If you have any difficulties, we can help. You can break up, but there's no need to give up your career development opportunities."
