Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away
Chapter 31 Night Talk on the Mountain
As for He Yong'an's parents, it's best not to mention them. They were notorious throughout the brigade for being harsh on their son, but only on their eldest son. They spoiled their other sons, especially their youngest son, to an extreme degree.
Some people gossiped behind his back, saying that He Yong'an wasn't their biological son and might have been adopted, otherwise they wouldn't have treated him so badly. But when Wei Xiangcui heard this, she took a knife and went to the door of those gossiping people and cursed them for three days and three nights. After that, the number of people in the brigade discussing He Yong'an's background visibly decreased, because no one wanted to mess with that shrew.
Gossip is fine, but if it causes trouble for your family, then it's not worth it.
Most people just talk behind the scenes about how unfair the couple is, being so harsh on such an honest, ambitious, and obedient son, and that they will definitely regret it in the future.
But no one knows what the future holds. At least for now, the old couple does whatever they want, and they are ruthless when they beat or scold people. They don't care about their eldest son at all, not even about his marriage.
He Yong'an knew that his family didn't want him to get married, lest he take care of his own little family after marriage, and then what would happen to the whole He family? After all, he was the one who did most of the income and work for the family. How could they, as parents, not know what kind of people their sons were? But they were their own flesh and blood, so they could only tolerate them.
Even if his parents don't think about him, he has to think about himself, especially after having Feng Qingqing. This is something that must be put on the agenda. Over the years, he has already repaid most of the debt of gratitude for raising and giving birth to him. Moreover, his brothers will share the responsibility of taking care of their parents in their old age. It's not that he will abandon his parents after getting married. He is not that kind of person.
But he had been thinking about how to do it all night since he got back, and he had a general idea of what to do. He came here today to talk to Qingqing again and hoped to get her support.
So, when he first heard Qingqing ask that question, he felt ashamed. For a girl to consider this question showed she genuinely wanted to spend her life with him. He felt it was inappropriate for her to face this issue after they had established a relationship. Therefore, he spoke:
"I thought about it all night last night, and I have some ideas that I need to discuss with you."
He seemed somewhat reluctant to speak, but finally uttered the words slowly and deliberately:
"You may have heard about my family before, and the facts are largely the same. My parents are very indifferent to their eldest son and don't care about or worry about my marriage. Some matchmakers came to introduce me to potential partners, but my mother chased them away. I guess they want me to contribute more to the family and don't want me to get married."
After struggling to finish saying all this, he felt a little bitter. Although he spoke of it much more calmly now, it should be known that this idea was formed after experiencing countless setbacks from childhood to adulthood.
When he was young, he longed for his father's and mother's love. He prayed and longed for it again and again, and he tried his best to do better, do more for the family, love his brothers and sisters more, and be filial to his parents. But no matter how much he did, his parents seemed to never see it. They always cared for and loved their younger brothers and sisters.
Later, he saw through it all and gave up. He realized that some parents might just not like a child, and no matter how much you try to prove it or try to win them back, it's all in vain.
So he let it go. He figured he might not have a good enough relationship with his parents in this life. Since they didn't like him, he would treat himself even better. The world had been cruel enough to him, and he didn't want to be too hard on himself.
So, the three hundred yuan he gave Qingqing before was money he earned with his friends over the next few years after he figured things out. If it were before, he would have given it all to his parents without any change, but he didn't do that later.
It can be said that he earned most of the expenses for his brothers' weddings and his siblings' schooling in the past few years. He contributed the most to the family, but received the least. When he went back, they wouldn't even leave him a meal.
Thinking of this, he snorted coldly.
“I know their attitude, so I haven’t given any of the money I’ve saved up in private to that family in the past few years. But if we get married, they will definitely interfere, and our married life will not be peaceful. So, I’m thinking, either I’ll make them separate me from my family before we get married, or I’ll sever ties with them.”
He paused for a moment, giving Qingqing time to think. Seeing that Feng Qingqing was staring at him with wide eyes, as if waiting for him to continue, he chuckled and continued:
"But given their personalities, that's impossible. So I thought I needed to do something to make them think I was useless in this family and could only hold them back. I believe they would definitely kick me out without hesitation if I was useless and a burden."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Feng Qingqing, wanting to hear her opinion, since it would be their life together from now on.
After hearing this, Feng Qingqing felt relieved. At least she wasn't stubborn enough to continue being filial to her parents in that house and was willing to find a way to separate from them, which made things easier.
She saw him looking at her hopefully, wanting some advice, and knew that this was a sign of respect for her, which made her very happy.
"This coincides with my thoughts. Although they raised you, you have also made enough contributions to this family. You are yourself, and you also have to be responsible for your own life."
Her unwavering support gave him immense courage and motivation.
"Moreover, you should know that we will have children in the future, and you probably don't want your children to live in that kind of environment."
she continued.
He Yong'an agreed with her words. He could never let his child walk the same path he had walked as a child and suffer the same hardships he had endured.
"However, wait two days for me. I'll give you something good in two days. I believe it won't be long before they kick you out."
Seeing her confident expression, He Yong'an felt relieved; it was so good to have her around.
After this important matter was settled, the two of them were overjoyed, as if a wonderful life was just around the corner. In fact, with Feng Qingqing by their side, their good days were indeed not far away.
They chatted like this for a while, and it was getting late, so they stopped talking and decided there would be plenty of time in the future.
As usual, He Yong'an escorted her to the educated youth compound and watched her enter before leaving.
After Feng Qingqing returned, because the weather was still a bit hot and Hu Fangming was waiting for her to come back, no one in the house had gone to sleep yet. However, no one spoke and everyone was doing their own thing. Hu Fangming was lying on his side.
Hearing the footsteps of someone returning, Hu Fangming jumped out of bed. He was about to say something, but when he saw the other people in the room, he swallowed his words and just gestured to her with his eyes.
Feng Qingqing understood what she meant, and simply smiled and nodded to her, indicating that it was getting late and she could go to sleep.
