Chapter 52

~8 min read 1,540 words

And in the distant Jiangzhou.

A young man held a bowl and drank the last mouthful of vegetable soup with a slurping sound.

The elderly woman next to him asked: "Son, did you really break up?"

The young man paused: "Yeah, broke up."

The other party became anxious all of a sudden: "You say you! Why are you making a fuss about such a small matter? How can you take it seriously when young people quarrel? Besides, we are originally country people!"

"But I feel uncomfortable in my heart."

"Mom, I wanted to say it earlier. I went home with Wu Qianqian, and her parents were neither cold nor hot, feeling that I am a rural person and don't have a stable job, so I'm not worthy of her."

"I stayed there for a few days and felt quite uncomfortable."

The one speaking was Wu Qianqian's ex-boyfriend, Xin Jun.

Xin's mother felt a bit uncomfortable.

But she still persuaded: "You are a boy, what are you afraid of suffering a little grievance? A daughter raised like a treasure by others is going to marry you and give birth to children for you; if you don't suffer a little grievance, they are afraid you won't know how to cherish her?"

"When your dad married me, he worked on the farm for your grandfather for three years before your grandfather let go."

"Look, did your dad suffer a loss? I am so capable! And the cooking is delicious. How much money does our farmhouse earn throughout the year, isn't it all relying on me?"

Xin Jun was silent.

His dad had a car accident and hurt his leg before, and now he still has pain from time to time, so he really can't do much work.

But his mom only tells him this in private; when facing his dad, isn't she still showing concern every day...

He just feels that this kind of family atmosphere is very good, and he wants to find a straightforward girl who doesn't hide anything, which is why he slowly got to know Wu Qianqian.

It's just that there were some conflicts between the young couple, and once they made a scene, the relationship was broken.

"You communicate well with Qianqian again; some things will be fine once they are spoken out. She said it wrong, you reason with her. You ask Qianqian when it's convenient? Come to our house for a trip. Although our house is in the countryside, this farmhouse is quite big, and Mom has saved more than a million for you. You can keep it for Qianqian to work and buy a house."

"Your dad and I are still young, so we don't need you to accompany us at home every day."

Some families raise sons and daughters and are reluctant to let go, insisting on seeing them in front of their eyes to be at ease.

But Xin's mother and Xin's father have always been free and easy; as long as their son is doing well, doesn't it matter where they are?

Raising a son is not just for retirement, but also for companionship and growth. Besides, they are running this farmhouse in full swing and with great interest, and they don't want to be with young people.

Of course, Xin's mother couldn't say these big principles, but she felt that her son was quite good, and the girl he could take a fancy to wouldn't be too bad.

Who hasn't had a time when they spoke without thinking? Isn't it fine once they change?

Seeing that Xin's mother was still trying to persuade him, Xin Jun couldn't bear it anymore and finally told the truth:

"Mom, it's not just for this! At first, she scolded me for being a country person, and later I was angry, and we had a period of conflict. Qianqian actually apologized."

Xin's mother didn't understand: "Then why are you so narrow-minded? She apologized, and you still don't forgive her!"

Xin Jun gave a bitter smile: "But we just made up, and that night I took her to eat, and she met an old classmate on the way."

The two chatted casually.

But at that time, Xin Jun looked at Wu Qianqian's face, but felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart.

Old classmates greeting each other was originally a good thing, but Wu Qianqian had to chat with people in a tone of wanting to say something but stopping:

"Do you still remember Song Tan from our high school?"

"Let me tell you, she is very beautiful now, but sometimes her family conditions really hold her back."

"Not to mention that her home is in the countryside, she also has a silly younger brother—her parents must be very harsh. I heard that Song Tan worked in Ningcheng before, but that day I saw her taking a silly brother to sell vegetables at the vegetable market!"

"The vegetable price is still very high; it's clearly using the silly brother to beg for sympathy."

"If you ask me, it must be her parents forcing her, insisting that she take care of her brother, otherwise, just based on Song Tan's appearance, fishing for a golden turtle son-in-law would be easy!"

These gossip secrets, especially those stepping on other people's pain, have always been the easiest for the public to accept.

The old classmate then started chatting with enthusiasm, and the two became more and more compatible.

Finally, when they left, the two even said in a fake manner: "Otherwise, let's organize a class reunion when we have time? If there are real difficulties, isn't there crowdfunding now? Let's donate some money too."

Xin Jun felt very uncomfortable in his heart at that time.

He couldn't say what the taste was, but looking at his girlfriend who was in a good mood and even humming a song, he suddenly became more and more like a stranger.

On the way home, he raised his opinion:

"Qianqian, I think it's not good for you to talk about classmates like that."

"I see that although your classmate brings her brother, her whole state is very positive, not like she is being oppressed or treated harshly at home."

"And her relationship with her brother is also very good, and the vegetables she sells are so popular, it's not begging for sympathy."

"You said these things to your old classmate tonight and wanted to organize some donation, isn't it a bit hurtful?"

He felt that he was speaking very reasonably, but in Wu Qianqian's eyes, it was a rage of three thousand feet—

She thought: 【Why are you observing so carefully? Are you having a change of heart? Do you have any other ideas?

I am your girlfriend, you should support me unconditionally!

Song Tan deliberately didn't sell me vegetables that day, making me lose face. You didn't help your girlfriend vent her anger, and now you come to blame me instead?!】

Wu Qianqian's expression suddenly became sharp.

"Okay, I knew you saw her beautiful and your mind drifted! Otherwise, there are so many vegetable sellers in the vegetable market, why do you have to buy hers?"

"Why, you took a fancy to her being a rural girl, and looking at her silly brother, you think she's easy to coax, right? Maybe she won't even ask for a dowry and can marry into your mountain gully and serve your parents!"

Xin Jun said these words and finally sighed:

"Mom, I know she wants to talk about feelings with me and tell me to love her without logic, but I can't do it."

"As long as I think of Qianqian saying that I want to trick people into marrying into a poor mountain gully, I feel uncomfortable in my heart."

"I know how she looks at me; she thinks I don't understand brands, and my living expenses are not much, saying that there is money at home, it's all acting like a big spender in front of her, and she has always been condescending to accommodate me..."

"I went to her house for dinner and told her uncle and aunt to invite them to bring Qianqian to my hometown for a trip, also thinking of asking them to come and see. As a result, her mother said in front of all the relatives: Now many female college students are tricked into the countryside because of this..."

Xin Jun said, also very helpless.

"Mom, what can I do?"

He likes Wu Qianqian, but not to the point of life and death. Finally, he can only end up like this.

Since things have reached this point, Xin's mother also feels that it is really inappropriate.

Although she feels that marrying a daughter-in-law should show sincerity and suffering a little grievance doesn't count as anything. But this grievance can be physical or financial, but it does not include personality.

Thinking about it, she asked carefully again:

"Then you broke up, can you buy a little more of this Chinese milk vetch?"

She wants to blanch them first and freeze them, and then send a portion of Chinese milk vetch soup to every table of guests. It will be a long-term business, and it will definitely earn a lot more...
