Chapter 929: Started Another Live Broadcast

~7 min read 1,335 words

Old Man 76 Live Broadcast Room.

Tian Weiwei has already connected the audio.

In this world, there will always be various kinds of will, various kinds of thought.

Most people's lives are not smooth sailing; most are filled with wind and rain.

Hardship and dissatisfaction have become the norm for most people.

Optimistic people find joy in hardship and enjoy the beauty of life.

Pessimistic people blame heaven and earth.

Some people even blame all their hardships on their background.

The person connected this time is like that.

Her surname is Wang, and her name is Jingjing.

Yang Qing doesn't care who she is; in this life and the last, he has seen too many types of people.

That's the norm, so that's all.

"Yang Lao, hello, I have a question I hope you can clarify for me!"

"That is, if my background has become a burden to my growth, then should I rid myself of my background?"

"If my parents are the cause of my life's hardships, then I should not cut ties with them?"

What kind of question is this? So vague, Yang Qing doesn't know what she wants to say.

"Miss, can you be more specific?"

"Asking questions like that, I can't give you specific advice."

Wang Jingjing knows that without showing some sincerity, this old man might not answer her directly.

Old thief, too cunning.

"Yang Lao is like that; my parents have favored boys over girls since I was young, and now that I work, they want me to bear the family's burden and also have me find wives for my brother and younger brother."

"I only make seven thousand a month, and I have to give them five thousand each month."

"Now I live frugally, I don't dare to have any social life."

"Sometimes when I'm sick, the people at home don't even say a kind word."

"Even, my father will ask me if I can still send this month's money."

"Yang Lao, I'm desperate, I don't know when there will be an end."

"You say, in this life, do I still have hope?"

Indeed, it's quite miserable!

"In the 1950s-60s, girls were considered a loss, this is a very common phenomenon; Jia Zhangshi often says this, doesn't she?"

Constantly suppressing the granddaughter.

In this regard, Yang Qing is still quite open-minded.

"How old are you? Have you been to school? Do you have a boyfriend?"

Yang Qing's three questions in a row left Wang Jingjing a bit stunned; you don't answer my question, yet you ask me?

But she began to answer, because Yang Qing holds great authority.

"I'm 23, graduated from university, I've had a relationship, but we broke up."

Yang Qing, upon hearing that, was a bit surprised.

"Your family favors boys over girls, so how did you still go to university?"

Wang Jingjing explained.

"Because my studies have always been excellent."

Yang Qing shook his head; if it truly were favoring boys over girls, then good grades would be useless.

Marrying off in the early teens is the normal practice.

"What about your brother and younger brother?"

"They stopped after junior high and went to work with others."

"Now they work in construction; many people where we're from are construction workers."

"Now they want to marry, but they can't come up with the bride price."

Yang Qing became even more puzzled.

Because this world has long-term rentals, and still hasn't had that thing, the cross-border marriages arranged by Capital Gate and Thirteen Hall import large numbers of women into Daxia each year.

How could they not afford the bride price?

"Your brother and younger brother have worked all these years and haven't saved any money?"

Wang Jingjing fell silent for a moment, then said.

"They built a house at home."

Then she added in a low voice.

"I also spent some on my schooling."

That's roughly the truth.

Based on Wang Jingjing's age estimate, her brother has at most ten years of work experience, and her brother even more so at most five or six years.

Building two similar houses in the hometown, that should indeed be about right.

But there are still the parents at home; there should still be savings.

"Are your parents not in good health?"

Wang Jingjing answered this time quite promptly.

"Doing well."

Yang Qing had doubts.

"Then they don't earn money?"

In Daxia, parents are healthy, and those who don't earn money are really few.

Wang Jingjing's tone was a bit resentful.

"One can earn several tens of thousands in a year."

Now Yang Qing really didn't understand.

"Is the bride price in your place astronomical?"

"Can't your family come up with it?"

A family of five is earning money.

This time Wang Jingjing's voice dropped even lower.

"I'm attending a third-tier college; tuition is over thirty thousand a year, plus living expenses, so it's about fifty thousand a year."

Yang Qing laughed angrily upon hearing that.

The people in the Live Broadcast Room were even more dumbfounded.

Is this favoring sons over daughters? Still a bad background? Do you still want to practice decluttering?

"This is a white-eyed wolf, huh."

"I'm fucked, I don't know what to say."

"What do you know? You men don't know our women's suffering."

"Why must we hand over our salaries, and why must they demand money from us when they marry a wife?"

"A bunch of white-eyed wolves, get lost."

"There are too many little fairies."

……

……

Yang Qing said unhappily.

"Miss, do you know what you're saying?"

"Is it fun to expose yourself online?"

"I really can't see that your parents favor sons over daughters."

Wang Jingjing was unconvinced.

"I've been scolded since I was little."

"Good food and nice clothes are only for my brother and my younger brother."

"Feeding pigs and raising sheep are all done by me."

"Building houses for my brother and younger brother, they don't care about me."

"Even after I work, they still demand my wages."

"Usually they don't call at all; when they do, it's just to ask for money."

"They don't care whether my two thousand is enough."

"The boyfriend I'm dating, they're dissatisfied and just want me to go home and get married."

"Anyway, for many things, they don't care about me at all."

"What poison have they been fed?"

Yang Qing felt he might have been too harsh on his own child!

"In our family, nobody has attended a third-tier college."

"Because if studying doesn't work out, better not study at all—it's a waste of money."

"They started working early."

"I rarely keep in touch with the kids at home."

"Because it's two generations, I don't know what to say."

"Last time I put Yang Nuoni in jail, my son hasn't contacted me to this day, and I haven't bothered with him either."

"As for boyfriends, everyone in our family should know that boys can only be found among ordinary people."

"For girls, the requirements aren't that strict, but they also can't cling to dragons and phoenixes."

"Yang Fan, Yang Qihang's wives—both were found by their mother."

"That's pretty normal, right?"

"In most Daxia families, they wouldn't let the children decide on their own, would they?"

"The term 'free love' sounds nice, but love and marriage still have a gap."

"Listening more to the older generation's opinions is not wrong."

"But was your ex-boyfriend really broken up because of your parents?"

Wang Jingjing, embarrassed again.

"They opposed it, and my boyfriend later broke up with me."

Yang Qing……

"So, your parents said they disagreed, and then your so-called boyfriend broke up with you?"

"He's so obedient."

"You figure it out yourself; I have nothing to say."

"They obviously have no intention of marrying you."

"I don't think it's your parents' disagreement that caused your breakup; it's your desire to marry that scared them away."

Originally it was just dating, but you want to marry me?

You say, will it be that the other party's family already arranged it for them?
