Don't let down Jiu
The rain outside the dormitory was getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that Huang Yaya felt very upset, because her mother and aunt were coming to AA City to play, and rainy days were not suitable for travel.
She checked the time on her phone: eight in the morning. Her mother wouldn't arrive until eleven in the morning, so she just had to leave for the station at nine-thirty.
For some reason, she was afraid of seeing her aunt now. She was afraid of her old age, her sadness, and her pain.
No, these are just appearances. What she fears is the encirclement and suppression of herself by Huang's mother and her sister.
Even when it rains, AA City Station is still crowded with people, and the ceramic tile floor and rain make it easy to slip.
Huang Yaya searched for her mother in the crowd. Finally, behind a middle-aged man, she saw two middle-aged women who looked very similar walking together, except that one of them was already hunched over. She shouted, "Mom, Auntie!"
Looking around, Mother Huang finally saw Huang Yaya waving in the crowd. She pulled her sister towards her daughter.
Mother Huang said with a smile: "Yaya, I told you not to come and pick us up."
Huang Yaya replied: "It's okay, today is a day off."
Although Huang's mother told them several times that they didn't need to pick her up and that they could just play by themselves, that was just polite talk.
I don't know when she and her mother started speaking politely!
"Let's go eat first!" Mother Huang said, pulling her daughter.
"Well, Mom, Auntie, what do you want to eat?" Huang Yaya asked. She also made some plans before coming.
"Let's go to the city center and have something good to eat. This is your aunt's first time in AA City." Mother Huang said generously.
Even rainy days couldn't stop people from going out. It was already half past twelve when they arrived at the city center. They looked for a lot of places to eat, and without exception, they were all full.
Huang Yaya found a barbecue restaurant, took a number, looked at the waiting time and said, "Mom, Auntie, I may have to wait for half an hour."
"It's okay, thank you for your hard work, Yaya." said my aunt.
"It's not hard, it's just raining. Where are you planning to go?"
"Your mother and I are going to look at houses."
In AA City, there is a house that was compensated to Huang Yaya's family. Although it was compensation because someone hit Huang Yaya, it has nothing to do with her.
Huang's mother rented out the house, and now that the tenant has moved out, Huang Yaya decided to come and take a look. After all, Huang Yaya didn't even have the key to the house.
After eating, Huang Yaya went to the house with them. It was located in an old community that was not too remote, but the price of second-hand houses here had reached more than 10,000 yuan per square meter.
Many facilities in the house are old, but it was cleaned fairly well before the previous tenant left.
"This house is really nice," my aunt praised.
"I'll sell it in a few years when the market gets better and buy a better one for Zijian." Huang's mother said with some disdain. She felt that if this house was used as a wedding house, the woman might dislike it.
Huang Yaya just found a corner to sit in, searching on her mobile phone to see where in AA City it would be good to go out and have fun when it rains.
The arcade is not suitable, but the indoor aquarium is good, and you can get it at half price with a student ID.
"Mom, Auntie, let's go to the aquarium together later."
"I'm fine with either." replied my aunt.
Mother Huang's attention was focused on the facilities of this house viewing, and she nodded perfunctorily.
She had booked the tickets and was waiting for Huang's family to find a house. However, she didn't expect the trap had already been set.
As soon as they left the community, Mother Huang said she was driving, and the driver obviously knew Mother Huang.
Huang's mother and aunt made the excuse that they were not feeling well and wanted to sit in the back seat, so Huang Yaya had no choice but to sit in the passenger seat.
The driver looked to be in his thirties. He was not very tall and his hairline had receded a bit. However, the car he drove was pretty good because Huang Yaya recognized the license plate: a Mercedes-Benz.
"Xiao Qi, please come and pick us up."
The man driving the car chatted enthusiastically with Huang's mother: "Auntie, why don't you let me pick you up at the station?"
"My daughter insisted on coming to pick me up."
"Your daughter is really filial."
"Yes, she is still a student at XXXX University." Mother Huang said modestly.
Then Huang's mother said to Huang Yaya, "Yaya, this is Xiao Qi, the son of your friend. He now runs his own company."
Huang Yaya could only greet awkwardly: "Hello."
"Yaya, I have been working in AA City for almost ten years. If you have any problems later, you can come to me." Xiao Qi said to Huang Yaya with a smile.
She complained in her heart, "Can't you just focus on driving? It's raining, and this is AA City!"
But out of politeness, she replied: "Thank you."
The aunt said something that gave Huang Yaya goosebumps: "Look, Yaya and this Xiao Qi are really a good match."
"Hahaha, Auntie, you're joking. Yaya is so beautiful, how can I be worthy of her?" Xiao Qi seemed modest, but his tone revealed his confidence in himself.
"It's my Yaya who is not worthy of you. She is not pretty at all, but she has a bad temper. She will turn her face away if you say a few words to her." Mother Huang pretended to complain.
"As a girl, it's okay to have a bad temper. What's important is to be filial."
"My Yaya is so filial. Even though it was raining so hard today, she insisted on picking me and her aunt up."
…
Huang Yaya heard their conversation and realized that this was a premeditated blind date.
Her mother is Huang Po, who sells melons. Xiao Qi comes here to buy melons, and she is a melon!!!
When they arrived at the aquarium, Xiao Qi rushed ahead of Huang Yaya and bought four tickets.
Seeing Xiao Qi going to buy tickets, Huang's mother also pulled her aside and said earnestly: "Yaya, this Xiao Qi is a good person. His family is rich and he can make money. He is not married yet, so you should seize the opportunity."
Huang Yaya no longer wants to complain. She is only a junior in college. Is her mother so impatient?
Huang Mama from the aquarium kept Xiao Qi in the loop and talked to him all the time, but every three sentences she spoke were about Huang Yaya! She was like a salesman, eager to sell his wares.
In the evening, Xiao Qi invited them to dinner at a fairly high-end restaurant.
In the restaurant, Xiao Qi was very enthusiastic about picking up food for Huang Yaya, but Huang Yaya couldn't eat a single bite when she saw that Xiao Qi's saliva was still on the chopsticks. She could only make the excuse of having an upset stomach and watch the three of them eat.
Auntie chimed in, saying how good Xiao Qi was and how caring he was. This made Huang's mother beam, as if she had already decided that this man was her son-in-law.
Huang's mother insisted that Xiao Qi take her back to school alone, and Huang Yaya couldn't refuse.
In the car, Xiao Qi enthusiastically introduced his parents and his work.
"My business isn't big, only a few million a year."
"Next time you have a holiday, I'll take you to XX City!"
"I heard from Mrs. Huang that you haven't had a boyfriend yet!"
…
Xiao Qi talked incessantly, and Huang Yaya could only respond sporadically.
Not long after arriving at the dormitory, Huang's mother called her: "I heard from Xiao Qi that you've arrived at the school. How's it going? Did I find a good partner for you this time?"
"Mom, what do you mean by finding a partner for me?" Huang Yaya questioned.
"What? You still don't like it? Xiao Qi's family is willing to pay a dowry of one million. You don't have to work after you get married. Yaya, don't be too greedy." Mother Huang's tone seemed to have already assumed that they would get married.
“This is the first time I met him!”
Huang Yaya's tone wasn't very good, but it didn't anger Huang's mother. Huang's mother continued happily, "I'll let you take the one million betrothal gift. Don't be too picky. It's so hard to find a job nowadays. It would be much better for you to just marry and become the wife. Xiao Qi is very satisfied with you and is willing to wait for you for two years."
"I don't want to."
"You don't want to? What do you want to do? Can you find someone better than Xiao Qi?" After hearing Huang Yaya's refusal, Huang's mother got a little angry.
"Mom, have you ever respected me?"
"I still don't respect you, Huang Yaya, don't be so heartless. Do you know how difficult it is to find a rich partner for you? If you weren't my daughter, I wouldn't have bothered so much."
…
The moment she hung up the phone, she felt as if her life did not belong to her.
