Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
For the next two days, Zhao Min waited very patiently. She didn’t take the initiative to appear in front of Xiao Sheng, but her good mood every day indicated her confidence in this matter.
At the Zhao family’s house.
When he saw his daughter return from work, Mr. Zhao took off his reading glasses and said gently, “Little Min, don’t go to the hospital anymore for the time being.”
Zhao Min changed into her house slippers at the entrance and walked into the living room. “Why not?”
Mrs. Zhao carried the fruit plate out of the kitchen and said with a smile, “You’re not young anymore, so you should start considering your marriage. Your father and I think highly of Zou Wu. The two of you have known each other since you were young and have a certain level of acquaintance. The Zou family and we are both in politics, so we can support each other in the future. The two of you will get engaged in two months. During this period of time, nurture your relationship. You can continue working after this matter is settled.
Zhao Min looked at her parents in shock and shouted, “How can you guys determine my marriage without asking me? Moreover, I don’t like him!
Mr. Zhao frowned. “What judgment can you have at your age? We’re your parents. How can we harm you? Be good.”
Zhao Min looked at Mrs. Zhao anxiously. “Mom, I have someone I like! I don’t want to marry Zou Wu!”
Mrs. Zhao hurriedly comforted her daughter, “A crush is the most useless thing. Marriage is about daily life. Our families are well-matched. If you marry him, you can still enjoy your current lifestyle.”
Zhao Min’s heart was filled with Xiao Sheng, so how could she listen to these words? “I’m not marrying him!”
Mrs. Zhao’s heart ached for her daughter, so she comforted her softly. However, Mr. Zhao didn’t allow Zhao Min to continue being willful. “If you don’t marry Zou Wu, are you going to marry him and farm in the countryside?”
When Zhao Min heard this, she understood. “Who complained to you? Dad, with our familys power, we can easily get him a job in the city’s factory. This isn’t a problem at all.”
When Mr. Zhao heard this, he became even angrier. “You’re really something. He already rejected you, but you’re still harassing him. Don’t you have any dignity?! You haven’t even married him, but you’re already using your family’s connections to pave the way for him. Zhao Min! Did I teach you to harass men like this? Our family wants a son-in-law who can help us, not a useless son-in-law!”
When Zhao Min heard her father, who had always doted on her, say that she was harassing a man, tears fell. Then, she turned around and ran back to her room.
Mrs. Zhao followed Zhao Min into the bedroom and looked at her daughter, who was wiping her tears at the desk. Then, she said helplessly, “Little Min, you should start to mature. In the past, we doted on you because you were young. Now, you should take on the responsibility of being a daughter of the Zhao family.”
When Zhao Min heard her mother’s words, she realized that in their eyes, she was just a pawn for a political marriage.
She sobbed as she said to Mrs. Zhao, “Didn’t you guys dote on me the most? From the looks of it, all of it was fake! You guys were treating me well so that I can contribute to my brother’s political career!
Mrs. Zhao frowned and said seriously, “Little Min, our love for you is real, but since you were born into a family like ours, you don’t have the right to choose your own marriage partner. Since you’ve enjoyed the priviledges the Zhao family has given you, you should bear the responsibility of protecting it!”
Seeing her daughter’s swollen eyes, Mrs. Zhao said with heartache, “Your father and I married the same way. Didn’t we spend our entire lives together?” Zhao Min was stunned and didn’t say anything else.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao lamented, “You refuse to listen now, but let me tell you this. If you insist on marrying that man, we won’t give you any help. Do you really want to go to the countryside to farm with him?”
“Rural people might not even be able to eat meat once a month. Moreover, I heard he spent ten to twenty thousand yuan on his sister’s surgery. I think they probably borrowed the money from everywhere. If you really marry him, not to mention meat, if he has to pay off his debts, you might not even be able to eat your fill!
Zhao Min was persuaded, mainly because before she entered the hospital, she had stayed in the countryside for half a year to support her father.
Zhao Min knew how tough life in the countryside was. After working for a few days, she couldn’t take it anymore and started to pretend to be sick. She relied on the money and stamps her family sent to live.
Life in the countryside was too tough. Thinking about it now, she still felt a little afraid.
Zhao Min was unwilling to give up just like that. However, Mr. Zhao wasn’t to be trifled with. He locked Zhao Min in the room and let Mrs. Zhao cook for Zhao Min every day according to the quantity and food standards in the countryside.
Zhao Min, who couldn’t tolerate not being able to eat meat, chose to compromise in less than three days..
