Chapter 1923: Chapter 2009: Irresponsible
"Xue’er, you’re already thirty. Even if you’re in a hurry, you don’t have to be so irresponsible. This is a decision your mom has made: you’ll marry the man introduced by your maternal grandmother. This guy is unreliable, just look at him—twenty-nine and still hasn’t married, not even a local resident. What skills does he have? Your mother, I, have ruined my life; do you want to end up like me? You know how embarrassing it is to have no money, don’t you?"
"Mom, what are you talking about, Su Xuan is..."
At that moment, Zhou Sixue was truly speechless. Saying Su Xuan is unskilled is really a joke; his assets are intimidating. He may not be from this area, but he’s involved in real estate here!
"I say, child’s mother, what kind of talk is that? What’s wrong with soldiers? Not all soldiers are as hopeless as me, why do you look down on them like that!"
Zhou Sixue’s father seemed a bit hurt. Actually, even a man who’s down and out wouldn’t feel good hearing such words. Everyone has their opportunities; some find success easily, others do not, and that’s the reality.
"Young man, take a seat, don’t mind it!"
Zhou Sixue’s father spoke courteously, then invited Su Xuan to sit down and offered him a cigarette. After Su Xuan took the cigarette, he took a puff and said:
"No problem, I’m used to it."
When Su Xuan said this, it made Zhou Sixue’s mother even angrier, feeling like he was absolutely hopeless!
"Brat, if you have a bit of self-awareness, just leave. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being harsh; I won’t let my daughter fall into a pit!"
Zhou Sixue’s mother’s words were indeed quite unpleasant, and when she finished, Zhou Sixue got a bit furious!
"Mom... could you stop doing this every time? When I don’t bring a boyfriend home, you criticize me for having high standards, then say this and that. Now that I’ve brought him home, look at what you’re saying now. It’s not the first time I’ve brought someone home, but could you stop being so unreasonable! When you talk about others, do you ever consider how awful your son is!"
Zhou Sixue was genuinely angry; she had attempted to date in the past. After all, not everyone is like Pan Chenyu, loving Su Xuan with unchanged affection for ten years, even willing to remain single for life if they don’t have a chance together.
During previous matchmaking, Zhou Sixue also met people she liked, but they were company employees, and her mother would always find fault. Zhou Sixue didn’t want to dwell on it then, thinking there was nothing to say, since the feelings weren’t deep.
Now that she brought Su Xuan home, her mother said these things again, infuriating her!
"How can you speak about your brother like that? What’s wrong with him? This daughter is truly a thankless wolf; your brother is so exceptional..."
Zhou Sixue’s mother was highly upset, tears streaming down as if her son hit her emotional trigger.
At this time, a man walked in whistling—clearly a non-mainstream type with dyed explosive hair, pierced ears, and holding a steel pipe.
With his roguish appearance, Su Xuan rubbed his nose upon seeing this guy, thinking indeed how ’exceptional,’ considering this kind probably isn’t even as good as a minion.
"Brat, what are you doing all day long?"
Seeing this son, Zhou Sixue’s father felt quite helpless.
"What’s it to you, old man? I’m telling you, if you want me to care for you in old age, be polite! Mom, lend me some money, I’m broke!"
Zhou Sixue’s brother, Zhou Ruofeng, said this quite unabashedly.
"Why are you yelling at him, he’s still a child who doesn’t understand; he’s so excellent, what more do you expect from him!"
At that moment, Su Xuan understood a saying: ’a doting mother can spoil her son’. This situation was completely mind-boggling, making him question his worldview—what kind of people are these!
Clearly, Zhou Sixue’s father fell into the category of being under strict spousal control. After his wife spoke, he stayed quiet, smoking on the side, seemingly lacking autonomy at home!
"Give some money, can’t you see your brother is out of money!"
Indeed, the notion that all parents are kind-hearted is not entirely accurate; at least at this moment, he witnessed this bizarre mother, blatantly favoring sons over daughters.
"I don’t have money!"
Zhou Sixue raised her head, swallowing back tears. What else could she say about such a family? Being thirty and unmarried has its reasons.
"What are you talking about? You only have one brother; are you a thankless wolf wanting him to starve? Hand it over! You earn six thousand a month, where did all your money go!"
Zhou Sixue’s mother lashed out angrily!
"Where did it go, mom? Honestly, three thousand for rent is covered by me, one thousand for living expenses is covered by me, the usual life expenses for your precious son used to be covered by me too. I only have one thousand yuan left; in the Imperial Capital can that do anything? I see others buying nice clothes, what can I do?"
Truly furious, everything had built up for too long. Zhou Sixue always thought they’re family, not wanting to be too serious about such matters!
However, her mother’s growing excesses and her brother’s relentless demands made life increasingly exhausting!
"Why does a girl need so much money? A bus ride costs just one yuan, the company provides meals; fifty yuan a month should be enough!"
"Cough, cough..."
At that instant, Su Xuan couldn’t help but cough violently, thinking internally: good heavens, is this biological? No wonder Zhou Sixue hasn’t married by thirty. With such a mother, most wouldn’t dare marry her!
Su Xuan didn’t say anything because being filial to parents isn’t wrong, but regardless, one must uphold one’s principles; her mother’s insatiable greed and Zhou Sixue’s excessive sentimentality contributed as well. While valuing emotions is good, it can also harm her; if this continues, she’ll never escape a miserable fate due to her family’s bottomless demands. No matter who she marries, there will always be issues; her husband’s family will surely look down on her!
The hardest problems in Huaxia to solve are family matters, so Su Xuan naturally won’t interfere, as such issues can only rely on her to resolve!
