Xie Yan felt relieved after Xie Gan sent him a message that he had arrived home. He replied to her to get some rest early, and then he took out a change of clothes and went to take a shower.
After taking a shower, I lay on the bed and couldn't sleep.
Maybe he had too much barbecue and his mouth was dry. Xie Yan simply got up and went to the refrigerator in the living room to find some water.
The light in the living room is on.
Xie Yan saw Sang Yan sitting on the sofa drinking at a glance.
Xie Yan lived in a house with two bedrooms and one living room, and Sang Yan was his roommate and also his classmate. The two studied at the same university and later came to Kanghua Hospital for internship together after graduation.
Sang Yan is a surgeon, and the two usually have a good relationship.
Xie Yan walked over.
"You have to go to work tomorrow, why are you still up and drinking alone?"
Sang Yan had mourning written all over him. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Today, we broke up."
"..."
Xie Yan was surprised.
He knew that Sang Yan had a girlfriend whom he had been dating for six or seven years, and their relationship had always been good. He took a bottle of beer and sat next to him, "Aren't you two very good friends, why did you break up?"
Sang Yan took a sip of beer, his eyes were red, and he wiped his mouth fiercely, "It's not because of those people in my family! Ever since they found out that Xiaojing was the only daughter in Yuncheng, my parents wanted to peel her off.
The first time I took her back to my hometown to meet my parents, she bought a set of clothes for everyone in my family from head to toe, inside and out, and also brought a box of gifts. People don't mind that I come from a ravine.
, I don’t mind the poor conditions and hygiene of our home. I stayed at my house for two days and kept working and cleaning up the housework.”
He wiped away his tears and his voice choked up, "When I left, my parents didn't even give me a dime as a greeting gift. They also lied to Xiaojing and said that our family didn't have such rules. Xiaojing is sensible and doesn't care about this.
But...they went too far."
"Today my parents came from my hometown to discuss our marriage with Xiaojing's parents. They came over, and Xiaojing was busy booking air tickets and hotels for them. When we went to dinner today, I gave them a lot of advice, let them
They must not make mistakes, and the result... As a result, do you know what they did at the dinner table? They said that our family was poor, and all the money was used for my education. The family was in debt and could not afford the bride price. Ren Xiao
Jing's parents didn't plan to ask for a betrothal gift from the beginning, so they said it didn't matter if there was no betrothal gift, as long as I treat Xiaojing well."
"..."
Xie Yan said, "Isn't this quite harmonious?"
"Yes, the atmosphere was good at first, but after a short time, they started to make trouble again. They said that in order to support me in school, my family owed a foreign debt of 200,000 yuan. They also said that because I went to school, the old house at home was not renovated.
People in the village have been laughing at them. They say that Xiaojing's family is in good condition, and they should be given more money as a dowry, preferably 500,000 yuan, so that the foreign debt can be paid off. The family house has also been demolished and built into a three-story building.
Xiaolou. He said it was for our own good, so that we could have a place to live when we returned to our hometown. He also said that in this way, people in the village would definitely praise us for our filial piety, and it would make us both look good. Do you know, Xiaojing’s parents’
His face changed immediately."
Sang Yan punched the coffee table with his fist and said with red eyes, "What do they want to do! Ah? What do you think they want to do! They don't want to see me live a good life. I have been talking to Xiaojing for seven years, seven years, they
You have to separate us to be happy. Is it for our own good? Do they really think I don’t know what their plans are! They built the house not for me, but to find a wife for my brother!"
Sang Yan became more and more sad as he talked. A grown man actually lay on the table and cried bitterly, "My brother's inability to marry has anything to do with Xiaojing. Why should he take off her mother's skin so that my brother can live a good life? How many years have passed?
How many years have it been? They say every day that my family is poor just to support my education. But since college, I have been doing work-study. Since my freshman year, I have started to send money home. Scholarships, money earned from working... After working, my salary
Quite a few, they said that young people don’t know how to save money, so they asked me to give the money to them, and they would save it for me to marry a wife later. I know it’s not easy for them, so in order to make their life easier and remove the necessary expenses, I gave them the money.
Give them all the money."
Sang Yan cried bitterly, "I'm sorry for Xiaojing. For all the years we have been together, I have never spent any money on her. She knows that my family situation is not good, and sometimes she takes the initiative to pay for meals when we go out. Over the years, except for Xiaojing,
, I have nothing left in this city, Xie Yan, I am already twenty-eight, I have been working for several years, and I have less than a thousand yuan in savings in total."
"..."
"I just found out today that all the money I sent home was given to my brother by my parents. It added up to hundreds of thousands, and he used it all to make money. Growing up, I was the older brother, so I
I have given up on my younger brother for so many years! How could they be so partial, how could they treat me like this? If the money is gone, I can still make more, but they... they asked me to lose Xiaojing too. "
"..."
Xie Yan knew about his family situation and didn't know how to comfort him, "Did Xiaojing break up with you?"
"No, I brought it up." Sang Yan tugged on her hair, "She never told me, but I know how stressed she is. When we were together, her parents didn't agree with it at first, and felt that it was wrong for us to be together.
, she will have to endure hardships if she follows me in the future. It was she who persisted despite the pressure, so we have been together for seven years, and her parents reluctantly agreed. But... today at the dinner table, I completely understood that two people can't live together anymore.
There is no use falling in love. Marriage is a matter between two families. She is their little princess. How can I selfishly drag her into the abyss. I can't...I can't."
"I'm a beast, I'm a beast, I'm sorry for her. But I know my parents too well. If we don't break up, they will definitely stick to Xiaojing. Thank you, how can there be such parents in the world? I created them in my previous life.
What a sin, why do I have to end up with such a family and such parents in this life!"
"..."
Xie Yan's fingertips felt cold.
He suddenly thought of his family situation and the monthly phone calls from home, and his heart sank severely.
Sang Yan was drunk.
He helped him go to the next room and lay on the bed. Sang Yan closed his eyes and was still crying, "Xiaojing... I'm sorry... I can't get rid of such a family of origin. I'm sorry... I can't drag you to hell...
cannot."
"..."
Xie Yan was very upset.
He covered Sang Yan with a quilt, turned around and walked out of his room.
A man was sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking beer silently, one bottle after another.
