However, after Wang Liyan finished complaining, she couldn't help but feel relieved.
Fortunately, she knew Li Jinbao's true identity before things were settled, otherwise she would have suffered a lot more in the future.
"I really have to thank you, Mingyue. If it weren't for you, I would have listened to my aunt and got engaged to him."
When Wang Liyan thought of this, she shook her head in fear and said:
"I'm not good at saying no to others. If I really marry Li Jinbao, everything will be controlled by his mother. I feel suffocated just thinking about it."
Mingyue patted her shoulder and asked curiously, "By the way, how did you deal with the consumption list?"
Hearing this, Wang Liyan chuckled: "I have already given him the money. It's not much anyway, so I'll just take it as a loss to avoid disaster. My parents originally liked Li Jinbao very much and thought he was honest and reliable. When they heard that I disagreed, they scolded me for being too picky. As a result, I sent them the spending list that Li Jinbao gave me, and they started scolding my aunt and Li Jinbao instead."
All in all, Wang Liyan and Li Jinbao had not been in contact for a long time, so the money they spent was naturally not much.
Li Jinbao's behavior of asking for money is not very harmful, it is just purely annoying.
Mingyue was very happy to see that she was in good condition: "Then congratulations on escaping from the sea of suffering."
Wang Liyan's face turned bitter and she sighed, "But my family introduced someone to me again. They said that I have reached the age to settle down. What's the point of living with someone I don't know?"
Mingyue was stunned. She really didn't expect her family to be so anxious.
At this time Mingyue realized the difficulty of the original owner's wish, because even without Li Jinbao, there are still Wang Jinbao, Song Jinbao, Zhang Jinbao... How can she be sure that Wang Liyan can escape the persecution of every bad man
Therefore, Wang Liyan must be allowed to stand on her own feet.
As long as Wang Liyan can stand on her own feet, no matter how hateful those men are, she has the courage and strength to abandon them and start a new life at any time.
It only took a moment for Mingyue to understand what was going on.
"Li Yan, what kind of life do you want to live in the future?" Mingyue looked into Wang Liyan's eyes and asked seriously.
Wang Liyan was stunned. She seemed to have never thought about what kind of life she would live and what kind of life she should live.
From childhood to adulthood, she has always obeyed her parents' arrangements in everything, from studying to work to blind dates.
If nothing unexpected happens, the future will be arranged, getting married, having children, raising them, and then life will pass like this.
As for what she wants to do
Wang Liyan recalled the paintbrush that was thrown away by her mother when she was a child. In fact, her dream was to become a painter, but her mother said that painting was a waste of time and that she should use that time to do homework.
Later, she studied interior design because her father's friend said that this industry was profitable. As for how much she likes this industry, she herself is actually not sure.
After a long while, Wang Liyan shook her head in frustration: "I can't imagine what the future will be like. I might listen to my family and get married and have children, and then live a dull life with mutual respect."
Looking at Wang Liyan's personality, Mingyue knew that her parents were either as honest and cowardly as she was, or had a strong desire for control and a strong personality. Obviously, she was the latter.
Mingyue tilted her head and asked calmly, "Would you like that kind of life? Marrying someone you don't know well, having children, taking care of both sets of parents, hanging out among those unfamiliar relatives and friends, and occasionally quarreling over money or living habits?"
Wang Liyan's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Of course, she didn't like such a life.
But most people in this world live like this.
Wang Liyan bit her lip lightly, "What about you? Mingyue, has your family never urged you? If it was you, what would you choose?" Mingyue smiled, "Of course I choose myself. Neither my family nor my friends can decide my own life. If I want to get married, it must be because I want to marry that person. If I want to have a child, it must be because I am ready to have a child and I like that child. Liyan, you should do the same. Don't rush into choosing someone just because others urge you."
Wang Liyan was silent. Should she choose herself
She needs to think about it carefully.
*
Life in No. 7 Middle School is very simple. Apart from her daily work, Mingyue spends all day hanging around in the milk tea shop.
Thanks to the presence of Old Zhao, the chatterbox, Mingyue heard a lot of gossip.
The latest news is that Li Jinbao and Lao Song had a falling out. The reason was that Wang Liyan was no longer on good terms with Li Jinbao, and Li Jinbao asked Lao Song to pay him back for his cigarettes.
But Old Song was a henpecked husband, and he only had a few dollars in pocket money on a daily basis, so he had no money to pay back Li Jinbao.
Then the two of them quarreled over the money for a few packs of cigarettes when they were on duty and when they were changing shifts, which made Lao Zhao and others laugh at them.
You know, Old Song was showing off those cigarettes at the beginning. Look, it’s not that I don’t want to take revenge, it’s just that the time has not come yet!
Don't underestimate the self-cultivation of any stingy man. Li Jinbao really takes the word "stingy" to the extreme.
But it’s better this way. With the precedent of Old Song, probably no one would dare to introduce a partner to Li Jinbao anymore.
After all, how can this be considered marriage? It is clearly creating more hatred.
Without Wang Liyan, an honest woman, it would be difficult for Li Jinbao to find a partner because he is ugly, fat, poor, a mama's boy and stingy!
But Mingyue didn't expect that a few days later Wang Liyan would come to her with a relaxed look on her face and tell her that she had already talked to her family and would get married when she met someone she liked.
This is how it is between parents and children. If one side has a strong attitude, the other side will have a weak attitude.
Wang Liyan is already an adult, and her attitude is firm. Even if her parents are angry, they can't do anything to her.
What's more, there is Li Jinbao in front of them. The old couple also feel guilty. If their daughter really gets together with Li Jinbao, won't her life be ruined
However, what Mingyue didn't expect was that Wang Liyan could finally breathe a sigh of relief, as the Ming couple came with their baby son.
When Mingyue first received the call from Ming's father, she had a bad feeling.
When Ming's father told Mingkang that he was not a child anymore and it was boring to play at home, so he wanted to go to work and asked Mingyue to arrange an easy job for him, the bad premonition came true.
Because they were worried about Mingkang going out alone, the Ming couple decided to send him over personally.
In fact, the original owner also remembered this incident, but at that time the original owner had already been in prison, and the Ming couple brought their son here, which meant they severed their relationship.
After all, they were afraid that having a sister who was a prisoner would damage Mingkang's reputation, and that their beloved son would suffer any injustice.
