I quickly skimmed through the messages that Konin sent me, even though my mother behind me continued to talk to me, but I was completely focused on the messages on the phone screen.

"Cheng Ting, I tried my best, but my mother still refused to back down, and when I looked at my brother's look like he wanted to go to college, I felt very guilty and guilty. The love I talked about with Cheng Yu is my first love, and for so many years, I have been walking according to the future that my mother has planned for me, and I am also powerless in this matter. I knew it was bad for me to do this, and I wanted to change it many times, but ...... How easy is that?"

The second paragraph: "Before I told you, just a few minutes ago, I had already called Cheng Yu to make it clear...... Needless to say, this is the best outcome of the process so far. ”

I slowly closed my eyes and took a deep breath before typing back: "If you don't explode in silence, then die in silence." You are a mature woman who is about to turn 30 years old, and you know the pros and cons of your choice very well, but the person who determines whether you can achieve happiness after starting a family in the future can only be yourself. I don't mean to persuade you to turn back, but I just give you a piece of advice. ”

Koning may not have read my message, or perhaps he became silent after reading it, so he didn't reply to me. In the message she sent, she said that she had already told Cheng Yu a few minutes ago, so she ...... Cheng Yu didn't get up, but let himself do his best to hide his emotions in the room.

"Your mother is talking to you, why is she just playing with her phone. Lao Cheng shouted again behind me.

I put down my phone and came back to the same position at the dinner table, and I didn't speak, but continued to drink porridge with my head down. At this moment, there was a sound of slow and heavy footsteps on the stairs, Cheng Yu, he came down.

The moment Cheng Yu walked down the stairs, I turned my head and glanced at him, hoping that he could understand from my eyes that I already knew about it. Cheng Yu turned around expressionlessly, except for the circles under his eyes that were a little red.

"This kid, why do you get up early in the morning with such an expression? It's the first day of the Lunar New Year!" the mother looked at the direction of Cheng Yu's turn for some reason.

Yes, today is still the first day of the Lunar New Year, but such a thing happened.

A few minutes later, Cheng Yu came over for breakfast after washing. He cleared his throat, said hello to his parents, and then ate the porridge in the bowl with his head bowed as silently as I did.

"What's wrong with you two brothers this morning? Did you not sleep well last night?" said my mother with chopsticks, looking at me and Cheng Yu in puzzlement.

Cheng Yu sniffed and said in a calm tone: "Dad, Mom, I won't get married this time, and you don't have to contact their family again, let me be the master this time, it's decided." After speaking, he quickly picked up the porridge in the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, drank the white porridge, and swallowed the helplessness and pain that he couldn't say.

"What, what's wrong? Didn't Kenin say that she would go back and discuss it with her family?" After a while, my mother realized that her last sentence was both a question and an answer.

Cheng Yu raised his head and looked at his mother, but answered the question in silence, and the answer was already obvious. I put down the chopsticks in my hand and took the words: "I agree, the happiness bought with money is not called 'happiness', it is called a transaction!"

Lao Cheng sighed, and said in a vicissitudes of life: "Ke Ning, their family's attitude is still the same, and they refuse to reduce the bride price, right?"

"Love is not reduced! I have said it a long time ago, if this is the case, then it is also discussed, whether this marriage and love will be knotted!" Cheng Yu's emotions began to become restless.

The old mother also sighed, and said in a tired tone: "That's it, it's me who has lost my eyes, our old Cheng family is not a spineless person, since she is unwilling to make a compromise, then why let us back down? We have already backed down, and they are still so ignorant of lifting, so let's disperse like this! Our Cheng Yu's conditions are not bad, and we will always find a better one!"

Mom's words really made a few of us stunned, because I didn't expect this to come out of my mother's mouth, after all, the person who thought about "compromise" at the beginning was my mother.

"This incident also reflects a problem: that is, our family can not be so low in the future, you two must work hard to make money, this time because of the bride price, I don't want a similar tragedy to happen next time because of the problem of 'money'. Lao Cheng said something pertinent and fair.

In fact, it should be so, since Lao Cheng's career has gone downhill, our family's economy has been in a downturn, and now my parents are old, and in the future, Cheng Yu and I will carry this responsibility on our shoulders.

......

Cheng Yu's marriage has passed like this, as he himself said, the whole process is like a fruitless dream, and now that the dream has woken up, he should also make the right choice. I myself am the same, at this stage love and career are incompatible, there is no opportunity for love, then I have to fight for my career wholeheartedly. At that moment, I suddenly wanted to go back to Guangzhou as soon as possible and make the company bigger with Qi Min.

At noon, about Cheng Yu's marriage, I remembered Wen Shuya's phone call with me before, and finally really answered her words - yes, her intuition was right, but I still want to know the answer from her, why she thinks that Ke Ning will not compromise in the end. Thinking of this, I decided to give her a call.

As soon as the phone was connected, I first told her the outcome of the matter, and then said indignantly: "Shu Ya, you are the most understanding and sophisticated person among all the friends I know, you tell me, why did your intuition at that time think that Ke Ning would not compromise? I really can't understand that she is such a big person, but she has only been in love with Cheng Yu alone, shouldn't she think about her marriage? Is this planning to be a 'good girl' in the eyes of her mother for the rest of her life?!"

Compared with my excited words, Wen Shuya seemed very calm, she was silent for a while, and said indifferently: "Actually, when you speak, the answer has already come out. Analyze it yourself, Ke Ning has grown up so big, she has always listened to her mother's words, she is what you call a 'good girl', plus she has a younger brother who is about to go to college, first of all, she has been successful for so many years, plus she is an older sister, can she not wronged herself? Actually, from a woman's point of view, Ke Ning may be difficult to let go of in the future, a woman who has been single for so long is willing to marry and have children for a man, which shows that she has already thought about living with this man for the rest of her life. Alas, it's a pity. ”

Wen Shuya's analysis made me fall silent at the same time, but it also became clear, Ke Ning is indeed such a person, many of the things brought by the original family are difficult to change the day after tomorrow, this is the current dilemma encountered by many families, even if I think this is difficult to understand, but I have to hope that Ke Ning can live a happy life after this.

......

The time soon came to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and three days passed in a blink of an eye, this morning, Cheng Yu went out early in the morning, and our family didn't know what he was doing when he went out, and he didn't answer the phone. It wasn't until later in the evening that he said in the group at our house, "I have to work overtime at night, and I won't go home for dinner", it turned out that he went to work, and I don't know when he took the order, we don't know.

It was almost twelve o'clock in the evening, and Cheng Yu finally came back, but at this time, his mother and Cheng had already gone back to the room to rest. As soon as Cheng Yu entered the house, he immediately went to the tea room, even though I was here, he didn't say much.

I poured him a glass of water and said, "What's the situation with you? I went out early in the morning, and I didn't say a word to everyone when I started work, and now it's almost twelve o'clock, what kind of order are you taking here?

Cheng Yu took a sip of water and replied indifferently: "Actually, I got off work a long time ago, and I went for a ride on Xianji Road at eight o'clock, and then stopped, bought a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of mineral water by myself, and stayed quietly for two hours." ”

I didn't speak, just looked at him in a daze, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said: "It's nothing, didn't our dad say it a few days ago? Economic development is the most important thing, so I have contacted friends on the second day of the new year, although it is just a small order, just about 2,000 yuan, but mosquitoes are also meat, I will slowly save it!"

"You're not in the right state. ”

As soon as I finished saying this, he immediately retorted: "There's nothing wrong with it, the reality is like this, let me tell you, isn't it just a failed relationship? It's no big deal, if you can't kill me, you will make me strong, money, don't you have to make a fucking deal!"

The words were not coarse, and for a while I was powerless to refute what Cheng Yu said, and after a while, he said that he was going to take a bath and sleep, because he had to continue to get up early to work in the next few days, so we didn't continue to chat.

Cheng Yu's actions and Ke Ning's incident successfully affected me, so I also decided to return to Guangzhou the day after tomorrow. Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and I plan to talk to Yang Fan again, after all, after he returns to Chongqing, it will be a long time for us to meet next time, and after I go back to Guangzhou, I will also fall into a busy work state, and a lot of things are waiting for me to do.
