“Mom!” Gong Mo shouted. “I can’t bear to leave you!”
“I’m the one who can’t bear to leave you! But you’re carrying a child. If you don’t start looking for work, how are you going to raise the child in the future?” Mama Gong picked up the phone. “I’ll give Big Uncle a call and invite him to a meal. For such a big event like a wedding, I should at least inform them about it. And we could receive a gift from him! Though your Big Aunt is stingy, she’ll definitely pack a big red packet this time. However much she packs for you, I’ll pack the same amount for your cousins when they get married. She has two children. The more she packs, the more she’ll earn in the future, so it’ll definitely be a big one!”
…
Mama Gong’s call shocked Big Uncle Gong and Big Auntie Gong. Gong Mo had just graduated from university. How did she get married so quickly?
In any case, they were family too, unlike relatives and friends. Most relatives and friends would only need to be there on the wedding day, but family definitely had to meet Sheng Nanxuan before the wedding. Mama Gong booked a table at a restaurant in the afternoon the next day.
In the evening, Sheng Nanxuan returned to the guest house where he stayed. Mama Gong was worried as she helped to pack Gong Mo’s stuff. “Take more clothes with you. When you get there, there are so many things you have to buy. Every cent saved matters.”
Gong Mo paused and said softly, “But I won’t be able to wear it anymore when my belly grows big…”
Mama Gong froze for a moment, put down the clothes she was packing, and sat silently.
Gong Mo leaned over. “Mom, are you mad at me?”
“Glad you know I am!” Mama Gong rolled her eyes at her. “You’re getting married so early. You won’t be able to work. How stressful will it be for him? Don’t come crying to me when things get hard for you!”
Gong Mo smiled and hugged her. “Mom, I know you’re worried for me.”
“Who’s gonna worry for you if I don’t?”
“I’ll be okay,” said Gong Mo, though she had no clue what the future would bring.
It’s like what they say: Poverty consumes marriage.
The cost of living in the capital was so high. If she was pregnant, unable to work, and had to rely on Sheng Nanxuan for everything, they would definitely live in poverty. In those circumstances, they would definitely fight with each other.
But no matter what happened, she’d give birth to the child first. If she really couldn’t survive, she could still come back home. If all else failed, her mother would be her safe harbor.
Ding-Dong! The doorbell rang.
The two looked up in surprise. Who could be here so late at night? Could it be Sheng Nanxuan?
Mama Gong nudged Gong Mo. “Go open the door.”
“Okay.” Gong Mo walked to the door and looked through the peephole. Shocked, she quickly went back to find Mama Gong. “It’s Big Aunt!”
“She’s alone?”
Gong Mo thought for a moment and shook her head. “I think she came with someone else.”
“They must be here to get more information.” Slightly irritated, Mama Gong went to open the door.
When the door opened, Gong Mo’s Big Uncle, Big Aunt, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, and Little Aunt all swarmed in. Last was Big Uncle’s daughter, Gong Fei.
“Aiyah, I heard that Momo is getting married soon. We came to see if there’s anything we can help with!” Little Aunt joked.
Third Aunt asked, “She’s really getting married? Why are you so emotionless? You’re not kidding us, are you?”
“Where’s Momo?” Big Uncle asked. “Is she home?”
Gong Mo came out with tea from the kitchen. “Big Uncle, Big Aunt, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, and Little Aunt, I’m glad you’re here.”
“I heard you’re getting married. Congratulations!” Big Aunt regarded her with a bright expression.
She smiled. “Thanks, have a seat.”
The group went into the living room and instantly filled the sofa. Gong Mo had no place to sit, so she had no choice but to take a chair from the dining room and sit on the side.
