Listening to Yun Yan's words, Chen Ye felt that the person in front of him was so unfamiliar. She was completely different from the optimistic and cheerful person he had seen before when she was setting up a stall in Shashi. Could this be the real her?
"Yun Yan, if the person you carefully choose in the future disappoints you, will you be sad?" Shen Ye asked.
"No! Relationships between people are the most unreliable things in this world. Even blood relatives may betray each other for personal gain, or even turn their swords against each other, let alone so-called husband and wife."
"So even if I get married in the future, I won't expect him to be faithful to me. Even if it's my child, I won't expect him to be filial and sensible, and to obey me. Without expectations, how can I be disappointed and sad?"
When Shen Ye heard what she said, he remembered that his father had reported his grandfather for profit and fell silent.
The two of them didn't speak again along the way. After returning home, Shen Ye said, "There's hot water boiling on the stove in the kitchen. Take a shower and go to bed early."
"Thank you!" Yun Yan thanked him and returned to the bedroom.
At the educated youth point, Qian Qian was questioning Xu Weiguo after hearing what Yun Yan said.
"You said I misunderstood. Then tell me, have you told your family about what happened between us?"
Xu Weiguo felt a little guilty. He regretted it so much at this moment. Why did he join in the fun for no reason? Not only did he not see the good show, but he also got into trouble.
"Qian Qian, didn't I tell you that we should wait until our relationship is more stable before notifying both sets of parents?" Xu Weiguo explained.
Listening to his perfunctory words, Qian Qian felt aggrieved and tears flowed unconsciously.
Seeing her crying, Xu Weiguo had no choice but to comfort her: "Qian Qian, don't cry. When the post office opens in a few days, I will take you to the post office to send a telegram to tell my family that we are together."
"Weiguo, are you telling the truth?" Qian Qian asked.
"Of course it's true, Qian Qian, don't worry, I am serious about you, and I swear I will treat you well in this life." Xu Weiguo wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his hands and said solemnly.
"Weiguo, you are so nice." Qian Qian burst into laughter and said happily.
Yun Yan came out of the shower and lay on the bed. She took out a photo frame from the space, which contained a family portrait of three people.
Yun Yan looked at the family portrait in front of her, and her eyes unconsciously became moist.
This is the last family photo of her and her parents. Her mother was pregnant with her little brother at that time.
Yunyan recalled her childhood. Although her family was poor at that time, her parents gave her all their love.
Later, my father began to learn how to do business and made money within two years. When Yunyan was old enough to go to school, the family moved to the county town.
My father made money in business and our family conditions improved. All the relatives and friends I had never met before suddenly appeared.
Yunyan thought she would always grow up in the love of her parents, but everything changed when she was eight years old.
That year, Mom got pregnant again, with a little brother. Dad thought he'd finally have a son and a daughter, but when Mom was almost five months pregnant, he was diagnosed with liver cancer.
All the family savings were used up to treat his illness. Dad originally planned to leave some money for Mom. He was afraid that if something happened to him, he could at least leave some money for his wife and children to live on.
Yunyan witnessed with her own eyes that her uncles forced her mother to withdraw the last 80,000 yuan in the passbook to treat her father's illness, saying that if she refused, they were deliberately hoping that her father would die soon so that she could remarry.
My mother was forced to withdraw all the money from her bankbook. After spending all the more than 200,000 yuan that my father had worked hard to earn over the years in the hospital, she had no choice but to be discharged and go home.
Yunyan could hardly recognize her father after he came back from the hospital. Her originally strong father had become skinny in just two months.
My father passed away not long after returning from the hospital, and those relatives who had originally looked kind immediately changed their expressions.
When Dad first fell ill, in order to please him, they all came to ask about his health and offered to lend him money for his treatment.
As a result, as soon as Dad was buried, they couldn't wait to come to Mom to collect debts and force her to pay back the money.
Eight-year-old Yun Yan looked at the faces of these so-called relatives, and at such a young age she understood the warmth and coldness of human nature.
Before, Dad was out of town for treatment and Mom was taking care of him in the hospital, leaving Yunyan alone at home to be taken care of by her grandmother.
Once the school needed to pay a movie fee, which was not much, only six yuan. Yunyan forgot to ask her grandmother for it, so she went to a relative who ran a fruit shop and asked him if he could lend her the money first and then pay him back when her father came back from medical treatment. As a result, he said something that Yunyan would never forget.
He said, "You're still waiting for your father to come back. Who knows if he will come back? Go away and don't disturb my business here."
Because Yunyan's family lives close to his and they are relatives, the two families often visit each other. When he said this, Yunyan couldn't believe it no matter what. These were the words of the cousin who always called her father "Third Brother" affectionately every time he saw him.
Yunyan used to think that only one person would be like this, but now after seeing the faces of other relatives, Yunyan realized that everyone in the world is so realistic.
In order to pay off her debts, my mother looked for work everywhere despite being pregnant. As a result, she had a car accident on the road and lost two lives. The driver fled the scene.
In just one month, Yunyan lost her parents one after another.
After handling her mother's funeral, she had no choice but to sell her shop in the county town to pay off her debts. No one on her father's side of the family was willing to take Yunyan in, so her grandmother finally took her home.
As she followed her grandmother, Yunyan looked back at the so-called relatives who were happily holding money. At such a young age, she understood that money is more reliable than people.
From then on, Yunyan learned to hide her thoughts and would not show it in front of outsiders no matter how wronged she felt.
Yunyan, an orphan, was often bullied at school. To protect herself, she decided to learn martial arts. To save for school, she collected empty bottles from the street and sold them for money. During the summer vacation of her tenth birthday, she finally saved enough for two months' tuition.
The coach knew the reason why she wanted to learn martial arts, and took the initiative to waive half of her tuition. He also often taught her some key points and techniques in private.
After Yunyan learned martial arts, people in school no longer dared to bully her. Even after she went to high school, no one dared to hit on her just because she was pretty.
Yunyan no longer paid any attention to her relatives, and would not even greet them if she occasionally ran into them on the street. One time, a relative accused Yunyan of being uncultured and disrespectful to her elders, even bringing up her deceased parents. Yunyan slapped her so hard in the face that she knocked out a tooth.
