After Chen Xingling lay down for a while, his waist finally felt a little better.
The quarrel outside the door ended with one person hurriedly going downstairs and another slamming the door. The stairs finally returned to silence.
Chen Xingling sat up, quickly entered the supermarket, and drank the red date soup that was still being kept warm in the health pot.
After a while, I felt warm all over and the pain in my lower abdomen gradually subsided.
Thinking that she probably wouldn't have the energy to cook tonight, she simply went to the cooked food area and got half a roast duck, along with a plate of cold seaweed salad. She came out and put the dishes in the kitchen, then went back to her room and lay down to rest.
I was not feeling well and was about to fall into a deep sleep.
She didn't know how long she had slept. She seemed to hear the sound of the door opening. She opened her eyes dazedly and found a familiar tall and handsome figure. She murmured, "Aqi?"
Gu Qi approached with confusion, and Guan Yu asked, "Xing'er, why are you sleeping? Are you feeling unwell? You look a little pale."
"…It's okay." Chen Xingling smiled bitterly: "Women have minor ailments every month."
Gu Qi understood immediately and asked in a low voice: "Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you need to see a doctor? I'll take you to see a doctor."
"I've already drunk some red date soup." Chen Xingling stretched and replied, "No, I've had a good sleep and now I feel much better."
Gu Qi felt relieved and frowned: "Xing'er, something happened back home."
ah? ! !
Chen Xingling widened his eyes in surprise and asked, "What happened?"
Gu Qi frowned and whispered, "A colleague came to me earlier and said that there was a call from my hometown, and it would call me in about five minutes. I guessed that Ayi encountered some trouble when getting the materials, so I hurried to answer the call. Ayi said... my mother actually went to Pingshuo Mountain to make trouble."
"Make a fuss?" Chen Xingling asked suspiciously, "What's the fuss? What did A Yi say to her after he left? Didn't he ask him to keep it a secret from his family first?"
Li Yingqi flatters the powerful and bullies the weak, and she despises country folks the most. Her eldest son married a country fisherwoman without telling her, and she was upset for several years, and she is still upset today.
During the Chinese New Year, she almost went crazy just because she heard a joke from a friend. If she knew the truth, there would definitely be a huge uproar!
As she expected, Li Ying really made a scene!
Gu Qi explained: "No, it wasn't Ayi who said it. She heard from somewhere that Ayi was secretly dating a girl from the mountains, and she took advantage of Ayi's visit to Yucheng to go to Pingshuo Mountain to find that girl. My mother was really too mean! She scolded the girl to her face, and even went to her house to scold her family..."
After listening to this, Chen Xingling smiled bitterly.
"Isn't this tearing the face of the parents in front of them? It takes two hands to clap. Why can't you control your own son? How can you blame the girl? If she does this, how can the girl live in Pingshuo Mountain in the future?"
She had already seen how destructive her own mother-in-law was.
If it weren't for Aqi's firm attitude and her unwavering devotion to him, their marriage would have been broken up by her.
Gu Yi's personality is not as resolute and opinionated as his brother's, and he and the girl are still in the dating stage, unlike her and Gu Qi who have already obtained their marriage certificate and are pregnant.
Gu Qi frowned and whispered, "Isn't it? Gu Yi said that his mother kept it a secret from him at first, and only told him to come to Yucheng to work quickly and make a lot of money. It was not until he secretly went to Pingshuo Mountain that he found out about this. The girl's family was very angry with him. Not only did they scold Gu Yi, they also forbade him to see his sweetheart."
"Don't think that just because she is from the mountains, she is much shorter than me." Chen Xingling said solemnly, "Your mother must have said something too harsh, despising and mocking her, otherwise why would she want to separate your brother and her daughter? According to Ayi, the daughter's family has already acquiesced to them."
Gu Qijun's face was cold, he frowned and whispered: "My mother is short-sighted and always looks down on country people... She must have said something very unpleasant, otherwise things wouldn't have gotten so bad. Ayi was very sad, and she had a fight with her mother at home, and later she didn't even want to go home."
"Where is he now?" Chen Xingling asked, "Has he gathered all the materials for his work? It's still hanging here, but don't let it get in the way. Relationships are important, but so are work."
Without financial foundation, the feelings are too fragile, and you must not delay your work. After all, the job position in the shipyard is not something that can be obtained casually.
She had worked in a shipyard before, and knew that all employees here had to have academic qualifications and abilities, as well as some background connections. After all, this was not some small ordinary unit, but a large provincial-level public institution.
Gu Qi explained awkwardly, "He said it's almost done. He just needs to get a stamp from one place. He will try to get it done in the next two days. But I heard his tone seemed to be in a dilemma. He was worried that the girl in the mountains would not dare to accept him. He sounded very confused. He seemed not as determined as before about whether to come to Yucheng to work. He was in a dilemma."
"Yeah." Chen Xingling whispered, "He is young and energetic, so it's not hard to understand. I am not surprised at all about this."
After all, Gu Qi had never experienced emotional pain, and he was a successful person who had worked for many years, so he was dissatisfied with what his brother had done.
"He doesn't even think about what he needs most right now! If a man doesn't have a career, how can he provide security for his beloved girl? If he is not even financially independent, how can he speak with his head held high in front of my mother? If he really loves the girl, he should make money, take the betrothal money and betrothal gifts, and solemnly go to the girl's parents to propose marriage. This is how he shows his love for his beloved."
Chen Xingling couldn't help but remind him: "Maybe your mother threatened him...she wouldn't help him to propose marriage, and marriage is not up to him to decide."
"Don't you still have me?" Gu Qijun's face was calm, his eyes were open: "The eldest brother is the father now. As his eldest brother, I can help him propose marriage. In terms of etiquette and manners, I will never let him be rude."
Chen Xingling nodded hurriedly and praised: "Well said! You should stabilize Ayi's confidence first and cheer him up."
"He's in a state of confusion right now." Gu Qi frowned and explained, "He said he was worried about his sweetheart in the mountains, worried...she might do something stupid. He also said that the girl's family members are now unwilling to pay attention to him, he can't see his sweetheart, and can't get any news about her, he's almost going to collapse."
"Then what?" Chen Xingling asked awkwardly, "Just keep going like this? Work can't be delayed, and neither can feelings!"
Gu Qi lowered his voice, "Ayi said that my mother took all the money he had. My mother said she would only buy him a train ticket and would not give him any other money. He has no money and no idea what to do now. I came to get some money and remit it to him first. I advised him to express his feelings to the girl's family and express his determination to marry the girl, and then come to work immediately."
"Yeah." Chen Xingling praised: "As it stands now, this is the most appropriate method. We can't keep hanging around here, lest there be complications. I'm not able to marry the girl for the time being, so let's stabilize it first."
Gu Qi glanced at the window and said, "It's still early, the post office should not be closed yet. I'll go and remit fifty dollars to him first, and we'll talk about it after he comes over."
"One hundred, maybe." Chen Xingling reminded, "You need money everywhere when you go out. It's better to bring more with you."
Gu Qi smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
