Wang Qingtian's home...
While drinking porridge, Qingtian's mother secretly glanced at Wang Qingtian.
She was anxious. In the blink of an eye, her daughter was already 24. If she didn't settle down at this age, she would not be able to choose a good partner in the future.
"Isn't this Xiao Zhang better than the one I introduced before the New Year? Aunt Liu on the street is still waiting for your reply. She said that Xiao Zhang really likes you and wants to get to know you better."
Wang Qingtian paused as he was about to pick up some food.
When Qingtian's mother saw her daughter like this, she became anxious:
"Just tell me the truth, right? How can you let go of someone after just one look? Are you just trying to fool me?
Alas! I didn’t say anything to you when you did this before. We were young and not in a hurry then.
But look, it's another year. It's hard to choose a woman after she's 25.
I'm quite satisfied with Xiao Zhang. He's three years older than you, about the same age. He wears glasses and looks quite knowledgeable. He works in accounting, so he's well-maintained and has a college degree.
As for his side of the family, didn’t your Aunt Liu also give a very detailed introduction?
Think about it, his parents are middle-level leaders in the factory. Although he has an older sister and a younger sister, he is the only boy in the family. Once his sister gets married, his younger sister, a girl, will not be a burden to the family.
The most valuable thing is that you can live alone, and wait until your parents are no longer with you in the future.
Your Aunt Liu said that she is a good match for our family, but that's just her way of saying things. In my opinion, our family is not worthy of her because you have a widowed mother like me, and that's a burden.
Sunny, Xiao Zhang has a decent job and a house, what else are you looking for? We are not the Seven Fairies.
Wang Qingtian was annoyed by her mother's behavior. She kept pushing him. With someone like her, there was nothing else to do but be steady. How could she get along with her?
Conditions? Are you kidding? With someone like Bi Cheng standing before him, and being compared to him, who could possibly have better conditions than Bi Cheng?
Her hesitation wasn't about the conditions. It was about feelings, do you understand?
But her mother really doesn't understand and just keeps urging her.
"If I want to find someone, I can't live alone. I have to find someone who can come and live with me."
"What are you talking about? Who told you to do it?" Qingtian's mother was angry and threw down her chopsticks to argue. No one knows a daughter better than her mother, and she guessed it right:
"You don't have to deal with that. Bi Cheng has everything he wants, except that he's younger than you. Don't you feel inferior to him?
Don’t you feel that you are not worthy of others and dare not take that step?
You said you have that intention, and the other person has that affection for you, so just go ahead boldly.
Before anything happens, you are scared by the conditions. Who can always push you from behind?
Why would Bi Cheng, who has never been short of a woman in his life, keep coming back to you?"
Wang Qingtian also stood up suddenly. For some reason, her eyes were red with excitement as she shouted:
"Mom, can you please stop talking?!
Ever since my dad passed away, we've been looked down upon so many times. We've been left alone, helpless, and like floating duckweed, at the mercy of others. I really don't like that feeling.
With this kind of experience, how can I possibly move forward boldly? Do you think I don't envy those courageous girls?
What I want is solidity, solidity.
I've tried to change my fate, and I've done it before, but do we have the power to do so? Do we have the ability to accept all the upheavals? If it weren't for Dad's land, we'd still be living on coarse grain, being bullied by my uncle's family.
If I accept Bi Cheng, what will his family's status be? We're dependent on each other. What if I leave him one day, or if he's still younger than me, and he changes his mind, will I still be able to survive?
What else can I have in this life? How can I not think about it and not be afraid? How can I dare to make a decision so easily?
Qingtian's mother also had tears in her eyes and kept nodding.
She was speechless about her husband's sudden departure, which left her daughter without the courage to try anything. She was cautious, as if afraid of any changes.
She understood. But not being able to make up her mind wasn't an excuse to hold off on finding a partner. If she waited a few more years until her daughter had the courage, what would happen if Bicheng didn't want her anymore? She wouldn't be able to find anyone else, and the cucumber would be cold.
"Okay. Don't you want to be down-to-earth? Then be down-to-earth and give up on me.
If you think that being with Bi Cheng is impossible and that you are not worthy of him and that you are tired of reaching for him every day and your self-esteem is hurt, then you should go find a partner. Find a man who can reach you, okay?
Don't let me be so untouchable that I won't get hurt at all. What if you harm yourself? Year after year, women only have a few good years.
"Qingtian, please let me worry less. I don't need you to find a man to marry into our family. You and I both look down on men like that. I don't need you to worry about me even if I die. I see you are upset, so hurry up and get married."
Unable to bear her mother's nagging, Wang Qingtian left the table, eating a meal neither full nor hungry. She sat on the sofa, feeling rather disgusted with herself. Her disdain wasn't primarily about finding a partner, but rather her family's finances, which she also suffered from.
For example, the land sold for 80,000 yuan, and after buying the house and furniture, she had a little over 60,000 yuan left. Two years ago, her mother opened a small store. Fortunately, she felt that renting a place wasn't a long-term solution because she needed the goods. If the landlord quit and kicked her out one day, what would happen to the goods then? That's why she bought the store.
At that time, after deducting various expenses, I had about 30,000 yuan left.
Thirty thousand yuan. Early last year, the house across the street was for sale. Her mother suggested buying it, but she disagreed. First, what would she use it for? Second, she still felt uneasy. She always felt anxious when she didn't have enough money. If she needed money, she had no one to borrow from, no one to help.
Yesterday, she heard that the house across the street had been offered 40,000 yuan, but they still wouldn't sell. She went to look up real estate prices and found that in just one year, Kyoto's house prices had doubled. Now, it was too late to regret buying.
