An An put down the cup and looked at Kang Kang with a half-smile: "I thought you wouldn't say it today."
Kang Kang couldn't help but say, "You know I'm in trouble, but you're still pretending you know nothing."
An An said with a smile: "You are the one who has something to say, and you blame me?"
Kang Kang immediately straightened his attitude: "No, it's my fault, brother, don't bother with me."
An An leaned forward a little, pretending to listen attentively.
"I fell in love with a woman who is two years older than me." Kang Kang said a little embarrassedly, "I'm worried that my mother will not agree."
"Is that woman divorced?" An An guessed.
Kang Kang's face changed and he shook his head frantically: "No, no, I'm not divorced."
An An looked at Kang Kang suspiciously: "If the age difference is only two years, why are you worried that mom will not agree?"
Qi Mengmeng is more open-minded than most parents. She will not disagree just because Kang Kang’s partner is two years older than him, unless there are other problems.
"Does that woman have any other questions?"
Kang Kang picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, then told him about his girlfriend's situation.
Chen Xiaoyu's parents are divorced. Her mother has kidney disease and needs a large sum of money for dialysis every month. She is a junior high school teacher and also runs a cram school privately. She works diligently and is cheerful and generous.
An An frowned when she heard the last sentence. Let's not talk about whether Chen Xiaoyu is excellent or not. Just say that her mother's illness will be a huge burden in the future.
"Kang Kang, how do you know this person?"
An An felt a little strange. From Kang Kang's description, Chen Xiaoyu's family situation should not allow her to be admitted to a military hospital.
But what a coincidence, Chen Xiaoyu's mother went to the military hospital and met Kang Kang.
"I went to the cafeteria to buy food, but I didn't bring my meal card. Xiaoyu offered to lend me money. She is a very nice person." Kang Kang defended Chen Xiaoyu.
"You've already said that all the money Chen Xiaoyu earned was used to treat her mother's illness, so why would she take the initiative to lend money to a stranger?"
An An raised his own questions.
"Because Xiaoyu is kind." Kang Kang felt that this was not contradictory.
An An still felt something was wrong, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Kang Kang, did you give all your money to this Xiaoyu?"
"No," Kang Kang shook his head: "Xiao Yu did lend me a thousand yuan, but she returned it to me very quickly."
An An looked at Kang Kang as if he was a fool, maybe the other person was trying to play the long game and catch a big fish.
"Brother, you think too much. No one in the hospital knows my identity."
Kang Kang is not a fool. He has never told anyone about his family situation in the hospital. Plus, his last name is Qi, so not many people know the details of his family, except for a few classmates with whom he has a particularly good relationship.
He observed carefully and found that Chen Xiaoyu didn't know those people, so Chen Xiaoyu didn't know the specific situation of her family.
An An frowned and looked at Kang Kang: "Are you serious?"
"Yes, Xiaoyu is a very nice person and very motivated." Kang Kang's words were full of praise for Chen Xiaoyu.
An An shook her head. This was not a question of whether the person was ambitious or not, but that Chen Xiaoyu's family was too complicated.
Chen Xiaoyu's parents are divorced, which means that she has to bear the full medical expenses of her biological mother. Whoever marries her will have to help her share this responsibility.
The seriousness of this matter is much more serious than if she were two years older than Kang Kang.
Because of this, Kang Kang didn't dare to tell his family. He was worried that after he told his family, they would make trouble for Chen Xiaoyu, and then he and Chen Xiaoyu would really have no chance.
"Kang Kang, have you ever thought about what you and Chen Xiaoyu will face after you get married?"
An An admires Chen Xiaoyu's ambition and filial piety, but he is somewhat reluctant to put this burden on his brother.
Kang Kang nodded silently, drank another glass of wine, and then said, "Xiao Yu's income is not low now, and she can afford her mother's medical expenses. She won't be a burden to me."
How is this possible? Even if An An is not a doctor, he knows that kidney disease will only get worse, not better, so Chen Xiaoyu's burden will become heavier in the future.
If the two of them get married, with Kang Kang's income, Chen Xiaoyu's pressure will be reduced a lot.
"Brother, my income is not low. Xiaoyu and I will not be a burden to the family. Xiaoyu's mother is dying. I plan to tell my family about Xiaoyu and me. When the time comes, can you help me put in some good words?"
This is the purpose of Kang Kang's visit today. He is not here to seek An An's approval, but to ask An An to say good things for him.
"Have you decided to marry this Chen Xiaoyu?"
"Well, Xiaoyu usually has to go to class, and sometimes she has to tutor students. It's already very late when she goes to take care of her mother every day. If we get married, I can help in the future, and Xiaoyu will have an easier time."
Kang Kang really feels sorry for Chen Xiaoyu.
But An An, as a married person, reminded Kang Kang: "You'd better not say these things in front of mom. Mom has raised you for so many years, but you haven't shown filial piety to her yet. Now you want to show filial piety to your partner's mother, mom will be unhappy."
Qi Mengmeng is not usually a stingy person, but An An felt that she would definitely be angry when she heard this.
Although Kang Kang didn't understand, he decided to obey.
"Okay, I won't say anything. I'm thinking of bringing Xiaoyu home this weekend. Then you guys can go home too and say something good for me, okay?"
An An really didn't want to say these nice words. He felt that Chen Xiaoyu was not worthy of Kang Kang.
"Kang Kang, have you thought it through? If you marry Chen Xiaoyu, you will be under a lot of pressure in the future."
An An reminded Kang Kang again.
"I've made up my mind. I really want to go to Xiaoyu. Brother, please help me."
Kang Kang certainly knew the pressure he would feel after marrying Chen Xiaoyu, but he really liked Chen Xiaoyu. He had a good income and owned a house. After they got married, Xiaoyu and her family would no longer have to rent a house, which would relieve some of the pressure.
"It depends on the situation. If mom doesn't object strongly, I can say something good for you. But I have to tell you in advance that you can't make mom angry. Otherwise, dad will get angry and you won't be able to get married."
An An said the ugly words in advance, for fear that Kang Kang would be too impulsive at that time.
"I will definitely talk to Mom about it." Kang Kang had a smile on his face. The purpose of his visit today was achieved. He was going to talk to Xiaoyu.
Just at this time Zhou Qingqing came back from get off work. Kang Kang helped to collect the garbage on the table, said hello to Zhou Qingqing and left.
In response to Zhou Qingqing's question, An An told the story with a wry smile on his face.
Zhou Qingqing smacked her lips: "Mom will definitely not agree."
Which mother would agree to her son marrying a woman who is such a burden?
An An sighed, but if Kang Kang was willing, they could only wait until Sunday to see the situation.
Kang Kang has not been home these days. He has either been on duty in the hospital or helping Chen Xiaoyu take care of her mother. Finally, Chen Xiaoyu agreed to go home with him on weekends.
On Friday night, Qi Mengmeng stewed some pork ribs for Kang Kang as she hadn't seen him for several days and sent them to the hospital.
