And in the distant Jiangzhou.
A young man held the bowl and gulped down the last mouthful of soup.
The elderly woman next to him asked, "Son, are you really breaking up?"
The young man paused and said, "Well, we split up."
The other party suddenly became anxious: "Look at you! Why are you making such a fuss about such a small matter? How can you take the words of young people quarreling seriously? Besides, we are just country people!"
"But I feel uncomfortable."
"Mom, I wanted to say this before. When I followed Wu Qianqian home, her parents were lukewarm and felt that I was not worthy of her because I was from the countryside and didn't have a stable job."
"I stayed there for a few days and felt pretty bad."
The person who spoke was Wu Qianqian's ex-boyfriend, Xin Jun.
Mother Xin felt a little uncomfortable.
But she still advised him: "You are a boy, why should you be afraid of a little injustice? The daughter who was raised like a treasure is going to marry you and give birth to your children. If she doesn't suffer a little injustice, why should she be afraid that you don't know how to cherish her?"
"When your father married me, I worked on the farm for your grandfather for three consecutive years before he relented."
"Look, has your dad suffered a loss? I'm so capable! And I cook delicious food. Isn't it all thanks to me that our farmhouse earns money throughout the year?"
Xin Jun was silent.
His father had injured his leg in a car accident before, and it still hurts from time to time, so he really can't do any work.
But his mother only said this to him in private. When facing his father, she still asked about his well-being every day...
He just felt that this kind of family atmosphere was particularly good, and he also wanted to find a girl who was straightforward and not secretive, so he slowly got to know Wu Qianqian.
It’s just that there are some conflicts between young lovers, and once they start, the relationship is broken.
"You should have a good talk with Qianqian. Some things should be said out loud. She's not right. You should reason with her. Ask Qianqian when it's convenient for her to come to our house. Although our house is in the countryside, this farmhouse is quite big. Mom has saved more than one million yuan for you. You can stay with Qianqian to work and buy a house."
"Your father and I are still young, and we don't need you to stay at home every day."
Some families who have sons and daughters are reluctant to let go and will not feel at ease until they see them in front of them.
But Xin's mother and father have always been free and easy. As long as their son lives well, it doesn't matter where they are.
Raising a son is not just for old-age care, but also for companionship and growth. Besides, they are very enthusiastic about running a farm and have a lot of fun, so they don't want to be with young people.
Of course, Mother Xin couldn't express these profound truths, but she felt that her son was a good person, and the girl he liked couldn't be that bad either.
Everyone has a time when they say things without thinking. Isn't it okay to just change it
Seeing that Xin's mother was trying to persuade him again, Xin Jun could no longer bear it and finally told the truth:
"Mom, it's not just about this! She called me a country bumpkin at first, and then I got angry and we had a conflict. Qianqian actually apologized."
Xin's mother was puzzled: "Why are you so petty? You apologized, but you still won't forgive me!"
Xin Jun smiled bitterly: "But we just reconciled, and that night I took her out for dinner, and she ran into an old classmate on the way."
The two of them just chatted casually.
But when Xin Jun looked at Wu Qianqian's face, he felt even more uncomfortable.
It was a good thing for old classmates to chat, but Wu Qianqian had to talk to them in a hesitant tone:
"Do you remember Song Tan from our high school?"
"Let me tell you, she's very beautiful now, but sometimes family conditions do hold her back."
"Not only does she come from the countryside, but she also has a stupid brother. Her parents must be really mean. I heard that Song Tan used to work in Ningcheng, but that day I saw her selling vegetables at the vegetable market with her stupid brother!"
"The vegetable prices are still very high. It's obvious that they are using their stupid brother to gain sympathy."
"If you ask me, it must be her parents who are forcing her to take care of her brother. Otherwise, with Song Tan's looks, it would be easy for her to catch a rich husband!"
This kind of gossip and secrets, especially those that step on the pain of others, have always been the easiest for the public to accept.
The old classmates then started chatting enthusiastically, and they became more and more compatible.
When they were about to leave, they even said in a fake tone: "Why don't we take some time to organize a class reunion? If we are really in trouble, there is a crowdfunding campaign now, we can donate some money."
Xin Jun felt very uncomfortable at that time.
He couldn't describe what he felt, but looking at his girlfriend who was in a good mood and even humming a song, he suddenly felt like a stranger.
On the way home, he made some suggestions:
"Qianqian, I think it's not nice for you to talk about your classmates like that."
"I see that your classmate is very positive even though he has a younger brother with him. He doesn't look like someone who is oppressed or treated harshly at home."
"Besides, she has a very good relationship with her brother. The vegetables she sells are so popular, so she is not trying to gain sympathy."
"You're telling these things to your old classmates tonight, and you're also asking for donations. Isn't that a bit hurtful?"
He felt that what he said was reasonable, but in Wu Qianqian's eyes, it was just a rage.
She thought: "Why are you observing so carefully? Are you in love with someone else? Do you have other ideas?"
I am your girlfriend, you should support me unconditionally!
Song Tan deliberately refused to sell me vegetables that day, making me lose face. It would have been fine if you didn't help your girlfriend vent her anger, but now you blame me?! ]
Wu Qianqian's expression suddenly became sharp.
"Okay, I knew you were attracted by her beauty! Otherwise, why did you insist on buying hers when there were so many vegetable vendors in the market?"
"Why, you like her because she's a country girl with a stupid brother, and she looks easy to please, right? Maybe she won't ask for any betrothal gift, and she can even marry into your mountain village and serve your parents!"
…
Xin Jun said these words and finally sighed:
"Mom, I know she wants to talk to me about feelings and ask me to love her without logic, but I can't do it."
"Whenever I think of Qianqian saying that I wanted to trick someone into marrying into a poor mountain village, I feel sad."
"I know how she sees me. She thinks I don't know much about brands and don't have much living expenses. She says my family is rich and I'm just pretending to be rich in front of her. She has always been condescending to tolerate me..."
"I went to her house for dinner and asked her uncle and aunt to bring Qianqian to her hometown for a tour. I also wanted to invite them to come and see her. But her mother said in front of all the relatives: Many female college students are deceived and sent to the countryside because of this..."
Xin Jun said this, feeling helpless.
"Mom, what can I do?"
He liked Wu Qianqian, but he didn't want to die like this. In the end, it had to end like this.
Having said that, Mother Xin also felt that it was really inappropriate.
Although she felt that marrying a wife should show sincerity, and it was nothing to suffer a little grievance, this kind of grievance could be physical or financial, but not personality.
After thinking about it, she asked carefully:
"So now that you've broken up, can you buy some more of this Astragalus membranaceus?"
She wanted to blanch them and freeze them, and then give each table of guests a portion of astragalus soup. If she could make a steady income, she would definitely be able to make a lot of money...
