People's hearts are made of flesh. Even though they are Lan Lan's parents, they hurt her time and time again. Lan Lan has no complaints in her heart. That's a lie.
Now, her parents have to ask her for money again, but less than a month after she graduated, she was abducted into Weijia Village and almost lost her life. Her parents never care about how she is living now, and they ask for money every time they call.
For a moment, she felt wronged and sad at the same time.
She said into the phone: "Mom, I have just graduated and my job is not stable yet. I only have more than 8,000 yuan. I will transfer 8,000 yuan to you later. Do you think it is okay?"
My mother's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Eight thousand is not enough, why don't you borrow it?"
Hearing her mother's natural and arrogant voice, Lan Lan felt even more aggrieved: "Mom, if it's only 10,000 or 20,000, I might still be able to borrow it, but that's 350,000, where can I borrow it?"
The mother's tone suddenly turned cold, and she said in an unquestionable tone: "Since you can't borrow it, then you can go home. Your father and I arranged a marriage for you. He is a rich man, and he is willing to pay half a million.
Betrothal gift, this way your marriage will be settled, and your brother’s betrothal gift will be enough!”
Hearing this, Lan Lan's eyes suddenly widened and her breathing became heavier: "Mom, are you going to sell your daughter?"
The mother was a little angry: "Why are you speaking so harshly? What do you mean by selling your daughter? You won't get married sooner or later. Anyway, you will marry early and late. Now that you are married, you can still help your younger brother, although he is a little older in the south."
, but they are rich, you will definitely enjoy happiness if you marry her, okay, that’s it, come back quickly, your brother is still waiting to use the money!”
Listening to the blind tone coming from the phone, tears finally burst out of Lan Lan's eyes.
"Sister Lan Lan, do you want money? I can lend it to you!" Tang Yuran said.
"Don't cry, Lan Lan. I also have a lot of spare money here, and I can lend it to you!" Song Yuanyuan said: "If you don't want to lend us, you can also borrow it from Brother Tianfeng, he has money!"
"Actually, this is not a question of money!"
Zhang Tianfeng, who was driving, suddenly spoke.
He heard the conversation between Lan Lan and her mother. Lan Lan cried not because of money, but because of her mother's attitude towards her.
"Yes, Brother Tianfeng is right. I'm crying not because I can't borrow money, but...!"
Then, Lan Lan told her story.
After listening, Tang Yuran and Song Yuanyuan were filled with indignation. There are such excellent parents in the world.
"Sister Lan Lan, if I were you, I would ignore your parents. Who are they? They are simply not qualified to be parents. If I were them, I would sever the relationship between parents and children!" As he spoke, Tang Yuran waved his small fists one after another. Obviously,
She was also quite angry.
Song Yuanyuan nodded with deep understanding: "Although Yuran's words are a bit extreme, they may not be unreasonable. In this world, giving and giving are mutual. Just because they are your parents, you can't just let them take whatever they want from you. If you continue like this
Go down
, will only form a vicious cycle. This time, your brother’s wedding gift is not enough, and they will force you to marry an old man. If your brother becomes seriously ill in the future and needs your kidneys and your heart, your parents will force you to give them.
Do you want to give it to him too?
Therefore, you must learn to refuse. You can do what your parents want and satisfy them, but you must decisively refuse their unreasonable demands. In fact, you are also at fault in this matter!"
Tang Yuran was puzzled: "How can you blame Sister Lan Lan? It's obviously her parents who went too far!"
Lan Lan's eyes widened as she listened to Song Yuanyuan's next words.
Song Yuanyuan smiled: "Your fault is that you were too resigned and lacked the spirit of resistance. After your college entrance examination, if your teacher hadn't appeared, would you have lost the chance to go to college? Also, why did you still go to college during college?
If you want to send them money, they obviously haven't given you tuition fees or living expenses. This has lost your duty as a parent. To provide for your children to go to school is a parent.
It is the duty of a mother to support her parents. At the same time, it is also the duty of children to support their parents. They are already wrong, but you continue to indulge them, which will give them the illusion that you are easier to bully. So, what do they ask you to do?
, are all natural things. If your temperament is not so weak, but extraordinarily tough, do you think they dare to force you like this?"
Lan Lan completely listened to Song Yuanyuan's words and asked: "Sister Yuanyuan, what should I do next?"
"There are two ways!"
Song Yuanyuan's pretty face had a hint of wisdom: "First, that is to temporarily cut off all contact with them. Anyway, you are no longer in Zhonghai, and they don't know that you have come to Nanlin. As long as you don't contact them, they will
They can't find you or contact you at all, so they can't force you. Secondly,
You categorically reject them and then ask them for your scholarship. This is called turning passivity into initiative. The money clearly belongs to you. Even if they are your parents, they are not qualified to take it. If they don't give it, you can threaten them.
Sue them. In this case, will they still ask for money from you and force you to get married?"
"Sister Yuanyuan, you are so amazing, you can actually think of such a way!" Tang Yuran clapped her hands and shouted, which made Song Yuanyuan feel very grateful.
"I'd better choose the first one!"
Lan Lan said that she couldn't bear to fall out with her parents yet.
Tang Yuran's praise was not enough, so Song Yuanyuan asked Zhang Tianfeng: "Brother Tianfeng, what do you think of my idea?"
Zhang Tianfeng pondered and said: "The first method is just a temporary solution. She can hide from her parents for a while, but how can she hide from her parents forever? There will always be a time to meet in the future. As for the second method, it is just nonsense. The daughter sues her parents for money.
, Lan Lan’s reputation is gone. What do her relatives and friends think when this incident spreads? Therefore, to solve the problem, we must solve it at the root!"
"Then how do you solve it?" Song Yuanyuan was a little unconvinced.
"It's actually very simple, just change their mindset!"
Zhang Tianfeng smiled: "The reason why his parents are so partial to his younger brother should have a lot to do with the concept of rural elders favoring sons over daughters. In the minds of most rural elders, raising children to protect them in old age is like throwing away water after a daughter gets married.
As long as they understand the unreliable idea that their daughter may not be unreliable, but will be the couple's future support, they will naturally no longer be biased towards their son, and even if they are biased, they won't be too biased!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Tianfeng asked Lan Lan: "How is your brother?"
Lan Lan thought for a while and said: "My brother has been spoiled by my mother since he was a child. He was expelled from school for fighting when he was in high school. He has never been in school. Later, he went to find several jobs, but he didn't last long.
, I’ve been eating my old age at home!”
"This is easy to handle!"
Zhang Tianfeng nodded: "Don't be in a hurry about this matter. I'll send someone to feel out your brother's background first, and then I'll come up with targeted measures!"
"Brother Tianfeng, thank you!"
Lan Lan said gratefully.
Later, Zhang Tianfeng asked for information about Lan Lan's parents and younger brother, and called Wang Tao to explain.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Tianfeng said: "There will be news soon!"
Wang Tao's work efficiency is quite high.
He came back at three o'clock in the afternoon the next day and brought back the information he had investigated.
I won’t mention the information about Lan Lan’s parents, but I’ll just talk about Lan Hai.
Lan Hai was twenty years old. He was expelled from school in his second year of high school because of fighting. He worked as a waiter in a fast food restaurant, a bartender, and a mechanic in a car shop.
But it didn't last more than half a month.
After that, he stayed at home and grew old.
In the past six months, he became addicted to gambling, lost a lot of money, and owed a large amount of debt.
I was forced to do nothing by the casino people.
He thought of a way to get money from his parents, and that was to get married by cheating.
So, he found a young lady and middle-aged men and women in society to defraud his parents of their money on the pretext of getting married. In order to make his parents believe that he also deliberately deceived his parents that his girlfriend was pregnant.
Sure enough, my parents were fooled and started raising money everywhere.
"Lan Lan, come here!"
Zhang Tianfeng called Lan Lan to the study and handed her the information Wang Tao found.
After reading it, she was surprised and shocked. She didn't expect that her brother would turn into such a person.
"Brother Tianfeng, what should I do? Should I tell my parents about this?"
Lan Lan asked.
Zhang Tianfeng waved his hand: "Of course not, we can just use this incident to make your parents understand that their precious son is unreliable!"
