"They will no longer come to me every month to urge me to send them money, and they will no longer nag me that I want to marry a good and rich man, respect them in the future, don't look down on them, pay for their younger siblings' tuition and living expenses, make them successful like me, and help them find good jobs in big cities in the future."
Thinking of her family and the pressure she had endured over the years, Gu Xue held her head in distress: "Ever since I graduated and started looking for a job, they have been nagging me like this. I'm under a lot of pressure."
"As soon as I get my salary every month, I immediately give them money, and give living expenses to my younger brothers and sisters. They think it's too little, but they don't think about how much salary I can get alone."
"I still have to eat, pay rent, and repay the loan I took out for plastic surgery. Xia Xiaolin, that woman, comes to me from time to time to ask for money. How can I have so much money? Do they think that the big cities outside are full of gold?"
"I complained to them and explained to them, but they never listened. They just thought, they worked hard to raise me and spent so much money to send me to college. Now that I have graduated, it's time to repay them."
"You are so stupid." Su Qiao actually understood her situation very well, but she felt that the biggest problem was with herself.
"They raised their children until they reached adulthood and sent you to school. This is their obligation, and you provide for them in their old age. This is a responsibility and a form of gratitude, but filial piety should not be excessive, let alone endless."
"As for your younger brothers and sisters, raising them is your parents' responsibility. You shouldn't be involved at all."
Who says that as an older sister, you must support your younger brothers and sisters
"And if a woman like Xia Xiaolin meets me, I will only slap her in the face. I won't even give her a chance to threaten her. A man like Sun Zhihao? You should be thankful? He didn't fancy you at the beginning."
"As for Ding Peixin, you don't need to care about anything? Just let her continue to live with Sun Zhihao? This is the greatest revenge and punishment for her."
"In the final analysis, the reason you have come to this point today is nothing but your jealousy and greed."
Su Qiao pointed out the problem directly. Gu Xue smiled bitterly and said, "I know."
"I know where I went wrong, but people are always like this. They can't control themselves and they tend to take chances."
"Actually, when I first saw you, I had a bad feeling and thought this day would come. But I don't regret it."
"I'm so tired of living. Maybe ending it this way is a relief."
Su Qiao shook his head helplessly, feeling a little sorry, "You care too much about what others think, that's why you live a tiring life."
"In fact, the only thing everyone has to do in their life is to get rid of other people's expectations and find their true self. And you are obviously still one step away."
Gu Xue is strong, calm, smart and hardworking. She knows what she wants, but she is always burdened by inferiority complex, trapped by her family, and dragged into the abyss by the desire and temptation of money.
If she could understand that the expectations and desires of her parents and anyone else had nothing to do with her, and that she only needed to live a good life and have a clear conscience, then she would not have been pushed to this point today.
Gu Xue looked at Su Qiao and suddenly felt a little regretful.
Maybe... maybe if she didn't do those things, she might meet Su Qiao one day. After all, they lived in the same city.
They can even become best friends.
