Listening to my mother's request on the phone, my mood didn't fluctuate much.

As for who told my mother about my job change, I think it might be my cousin. Her factory is not far from mine, and one of her classmates was assigned to our factory. In addition, my reputation in the factory is not very good, so my cousin must know something.

"Mom, how much do you want? Is two thousand enough?" I asked in a low voice.

"Two thousand is not enough. Your grandma has been to the hospital three times in the past two months. She is ill and your dad has spent all his money. The old lady is neither dying nor dying. It has made us suffer so much. Jingjing, mom is counting on you to be successful." Mom started crying as she spoke and began to sing about her miserable life.

It was indeed very hard. I knew the situation at home. The whole family depended on my father's salary. My mother was a housewife at home and had no income. In addition, my grandmother had a strong personality, so my mother's life at home was indeed not easy. She had elderly parents and young children to take care of, and she still had to ask for money. My father was stubborn and filial, and he listened to my grandmother very much.

"I can only send three thousand home at most. If I send more, there will be no more." I said in a low voice.

"Don't you have five thousand? Jingjing, I heard from your cousin that you have a rich boyfriend. Is that true? I'm telling you, don't mess around outside. By the way, remember the boy named Wang Tie from Xiaxing Village? He graduated from a technical secondary school and has been asking where you work. He said he wants to come and find you. His family is well-off. They own a piglet factory and two five-story houses with shops in the county town. Jingjing, listen to your mother. I'll give you his phone number. You can contact him. He keeps praising your beauty. It seems that he likes you." My mother kept muttering, but she was actually planning to arrange a blind date for me.

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered my previous life. My parents didn’t allow me to marry far away. It wasn’t because they loved me so much, but because they found a good partner for me. The other party was willing to pay a betrothal gift of 60,000 yuan. My mother chased me at the train station and fell. At that moment, I felt uncomfortable and guilty.

I knew they were doing this for my own good, wanting to find me a wealthy family, but no one ever really asked me what I wanted, so I rebelled.

"Mom, I don't want to contact him, please don't tell him." I said anxiously.

"It's too late. I should have told you earlier that they would be so happy to get your contact information. Jingjing, mom is doing this for your own good. Their family is well-off. Don't be picky. Find a good family while you are still young." My mother said with a smile on the phone. It seems that in her mind, I am already the daughter-in-law of the Wang family.

For the first time, I stood firm and said seriously, "Mom, I told you I don't want to have any contact with him, and I won't marry him in the future."

My mother couldn't tell I was angry, and immediately coaxed me, saying, "It's okay, just contact her first and see if she doesn't like you. She really likes you."

"Just because he likes me, should I marry him? Why?" I became angry.

"Look at you, kid. Mom is not harming you. This is all for your own good. You can marry a rich man in the future and suffer less." My mother was also angry, and her tone was as if she was disappointed in me.

"Why should I rely on a man? Just like you, you only coveted the money my dad made as a carpenter, but after you got married, you discovered that he was stubborn, very chauvinistic, foolishly filial, and neither gentle nor considerate towards you. You couldn't even control his money..."

"Yin Jingjing, you want to die." My mother immediately cursed: "I am your mother, do you think I would harm you?"

I successfully angered my mother, but then I calmed down and regained my composure, saying, "Mom, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I have my own plans now. Getting married isn't my only option, and I don't want to rely on a man to get rich. So, I'll give you three thousand, and then two thousand every month for living expenses. I don't have the extra money, and the burden of the whole family can't fall on my shoulders alone."

"You stupid girl, you think you're so great just because you make some money. Can't you just let your mother say a few words to you?" My mother was so angry that she kept scolding me.

I hung up the phone directly and drank the bitter coffee. After all, I paid for it, and it cost me 18 yuan for one cup, which was not cheap.

I cried out in pain, rushed out of the cafe, and bought a bottle of water to drink immediately.

I don’t want to eat bitter food anymore, I only want to eat sweet food.

I went to the bank and transferred three thousand yuan to my mother. I don’t know if she would feel a little grateful after receiving it, or if she would still think it was not enough.

It was completely dark when I came to Zhou Ci's ward. Zhou Ci had not come back yet. I lay on his bed and fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up, there was a touch of warmth on my face.

I opened my eyes in shock, and Zhou Ci was looking at me with a smile: "Are you so tired?"

I rubbed my eyes with a face full of embarrassment: "What time is it now? I'll give you the bed back."

"It's okay, you lie down, I'll lie on the other side." Zhou Ci jumped to the other side on one foot, lay on the bed, and put his legs down.

I was still a little embarrassed, so I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face. Zhou Ci looked at me without blinking, and I blushed instantly.

"Have you eaten?" Zhou Ci asked me in a low voice.

I shook my head, and Zhou Ci immediately pointed to the table next to me: "I knew it, I packed it for you, go eat."

I whispered thank you and opened the box. There were four dishes packed in an exquisite insulated box, and a chicken soup that was fragrant and rich.

I was really hungry, so I lowered my head and started eating. Zhou Ci sat next to me and looked at me like a pervert.

I turned my head and our eyes met for two seconds. Suddenly, I thought of what Zhou Minghe said, and my heart skipped a beat.

Zhou Ci is actually very handsome, with facial features that you never get tired of looking at. In addition, he is tall and strong, so it seems normal that he is chosen by a rich girl to be her son-in-law.

However, being a live-in son-in-law is somewhat embarrassing for a man, so it is normal for Zhou Ci to disagree.

I finished dinner and cleaned up quietly. When I returned to Zhou Ci, he suddenly reached out and took my finger: "Jingjing, did Sister Wang mention the partnership to you?"

I was slightly stunned, and the next second, I glared at him: "Such a big thing, you didn't discuss it with me?"

Zhou Ci chuckled softly, and when he laughed, he looked much more handsome and brighter.

"I'm discussing with you now. I'll provide you with the 500,000 yuan investment. You are not allowed to refuse. I don't want to hear any words of rejection from you." Zhou Ci suddenly became overbearing.

I was stunned for a second. The corners of my eyes turned red, and I leaned gently on his shoulder: "Zhou Ci, why are you so nice to me? How am I worthy of your care?"

Zhou Ci was frank. He pinched my waist and kissed my face. Finally, his fingers slowly moved to my upper body: "Jingjing, don't ask such silly questions in the future. If I need a reason to be nice to you, then I have a million reasons."

"You invest in me. What if I don't love you anymore in the future, or run away with someone else? Wouldn't your investment be a failure?" I joked.

Zhou Ci was genuinely surprised. The next second, he kissed my lips and whispered, "In my opinion, you're like a blank sheet of paper right now. I'm investing in you. When you grow up, your soul will belong to me. I want you to be the rose I water personally. Your future style and behavior will bear traces of me. Jingjing, I believe in you, and I believe in my own vision. In the future, we can walk shoulder to shoulder and have our own home."

My heart trembled because of his words. The man in front of me is not like Zhou Zeping, who only paints pie in the sky for me. He is actually investing in my future.

"Zhou Ci..." I took the initiative to kiss his lips. I was willing to give him everything I had.

Zhou Ci suddenly laughed softly, touched my long hair, and murmured: "Don't tease me, I can't feed you now."

I:"…"
