Accompanied by Wei Ling, Yang Haozhong bought a set of Septwolves men's clothing. Although his monthly salary and tips were quite high, which was equivalent to a month's income of a white-collar worker, the price of the first suit at the Septwolves store still shocked him. The cheapest Septwolves men's suit was more than 2,000 yuan.
Wei Ling said that she would pay for this, so Yang Haozhong was too embarrassed to ask her to pay. He made her look like a miser. It was the first time he bought the most expensive clothes in history for himself.
30% looks, 70% dressing up, and a suit to support the scene wasn't enough. He couldn't just leave empty-handed when meeting his elders, right? He had to prepare some gifts. Moreover, he was his future parents-in-law. They also bought a gift box of Fuji fruits and Wangwang biscuits. This was his first time visiting Wei Ling's house. He didn't expect her to live in such a luxurious neighborhood.
"Didn't you say you were born in the countryside?" Yang Haozhong clicked his tongue. Why do you live in such a good house?"
"I was born in the countryside! Who said that people born in the countryside couldn't live in good houses?”She rolled her eyes at Yang Haozhong. She hated it when people looked at people through colored glasses.
Yang Haozhong quickly smiled apologetically at her.”
"All of my family's land was requisitioned and many houses were built. My family was given seven houses.”She spoke very calmly.
"Ah!" Yang Haozhong exclaimed," Seven houses?”With the current housing prices, how much was this worth?
"Yes, I am. What was so strange about that? Our brigade has more land than my family! However, my family doesn't have that many houses anymore. My father sold four of them to start a business.”She didn't care about Yang Haozhong's reaction and was used to it.
"Oh." Yang Haozhong didn't want to say anything more, but his heart felt heavy. He suddenly felt that Wei Ling was a little unfamiliar. As soon as they entered, Wei Ling's parents came out to welcome them warmly.
"You're here. Come in and sit." The first person to greet her was Wei Ling's mother. The mother and daughter were as similar as if they were carved out of the same template. Yang Haozhong felt very close to them. Her father looked very serious, and there was no lack of smiles on his face.
Yang Haozhong bowed politely and greeted,""Hello, Auntie and Uncle."
After entering the living room, he looked around at the layout of the surroundings. Wei Ling's home did not have any similarities with what he had imagined. Although she had introduced her family's situation on the way in, Yang Haozhong, who was there, was very surprised.
The living room was very big, about 30 square meters. A set of white leather sand was placed in the middle of the living room. It was gorgeous and imposing. The black marble floor was sprinkled with gold, and it was so smooth that it could reflect everyone's faces. The murals on the wall and the small sculptures placed randomly were also simple and elegant. In this elegant environment, Yang Haozhong suddenly felt ashamed of himself. He always thought that he could create happiness for Wei Ling, but did she really feel happy in his slum-like house?
"Let's eat first. You guys are late. We chatted while eating. Yang? Right? You're called Xiao Yang, right?" Wei Ling's mother enthusiastically came to hold his hand, and he came back to his senses from his meditation.
"Oh! Oh! Alright." Yang Haozhong replied foolishly.
Wei Ling coquettishly pulled down his sleeve and said,"Are you stupid? What was there to be nervous about? I'm not eating you!"
Yang Haozhong looked at her parents awkwardly. They smiled as if they were watching a show. His face was red and he didn't say anything.
After they sat down in the dining room, her nanny and chef began to serve the dishes one by one.
Mother Wei enthusiastically picked up some food for Yang Haozhong and suddenly asked with concern,"You don't have anything you don't eat, do you?"
"No, I haven't." Yang Haozhong said submissively.
"That's good. Our Xiaoling is a picky eater. She never eats chicken or duck, and…"
"Mom…don't talk nonsense!" Yang Haozhong looked at her strangely and she interrupted her mother.
Wei Ling smiled at him and said,"I'll eat whatever they say."”As he spoke, he picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth to chew. He noticed the strange look in Wei Ling's parents 'eyes and understood everything.
His left hand pressed down on Wei Ling's leg under the tablecloth, and his nose felt sore. Wei Ling had never told him what he liked to eat and what he didn't like to eat. He loved chicken the most and often bought it to cook. She usually ate very little. She always said that she was on a diet, but in fact, she didn't eat at all…
His heart ached. How much pain had this silly woman gone through with him? How much more did he not understand?
Wei Ling swallowed it in one gulp. She secretly placed her hand on her lap and clenched it tightly. She smiled at him with a relaxed expression. Yang Haozhong was speechless. He endured the pain in his heart and continued to eat. He really couldn't stomach food.
"Xiao Yang, what's your zodiac sign?" The interrogation finally began. This was what he had been waiting for.
"I'm a dog." he answered calmly.
"What is it? Are you younger than our Wei Ling?" Father Wei also joined in the interrogation.
"Yes, I am. I'm three years younger than Wei Ling." Yang Haozhong answered truthfully.
Father Wei glanced at Mother Wei, who smiled awkwardly and said,"It's okay. Didn't they say that the third year of university is a golden brick?”
" Then you…" Father Wei was not so relaxed. He frowned.
"Yes, I'm still studying. I'm preparing to graduate from university this year.”
"Oh." Father Wei's voice dragged on and was a little ear-piercing. He didn't say anything else and continued eating.
"What do your parents do?" Mother Wei couldn't bear it and still had a glimmer of hope.
"My father passed away when I was in high school." Yang Haozhong smiled bitterly. My mother is the only one left at home. She's not in good health and has been recuperating at home. She doesn't work anymore. We're mother and son."
Mother Wei's face was deathly pale. Wei Ling, who was sitting at the side, looked extremely embarrassed.
"Then how are you going to live?" Mother Wei could not help but sympathize and worry.
Wei Ling pinched Yang Haozhong hard from under the table, signaling him to stop talking. Yang Haozhong had already thrown caution to the wind. He told the truth.
Yang Haozhong ignored Wei Ling and continued,""I work part-time at the bar at night to earn my living expenses and tuition fees.”
"Pa." The ear-piercing sound of porcelain hitting each other made Yang Hao's temples throb.
"I'm full. Enjoy your meal." Father Wei stood up with a straight face and walked to the living room. He turned on the television and turned the volume up, as if he didn't want to hear Yang Haozhong's voice anymore.
Mother Wei was left behind, smiling awkwardly and apologetically."Hehe, it's not easy for young people.”She lowered her head and continued eating. She did not have much of a problem.
The meal ended unhappily. After the meal, Yang Haozhong used the excuse of returning to school to leave. Wei Ling's parents did not have any intention of asking him to stay. Yang Haozhong knew very well that this meant that the fate between him and Wei Ling had ended.
She didn't even have the chance to send Yang Haozhong off. As soon as she reached the door, she was called back by her father. She was worried that her stubborn father would embarrass him even more, so she didn't force herself to send him off. Instead, she watched him leave the house from afar.
In fact, Yang Haozhong did not blame her parents. Everything they did was for their daughter. There was no parent who didn't want their child to have a happy future, and this happiness needed a foundation. This so-called foundation was actually money or social status. Yang Haozhong was a poor kid. He had nothing, no future, no job, no money, no house, and no powerful parents to support him. In the eyes of 99.99% of parents, people like him were poor and useless. Other than the appointment, what else did he have to say?
"Don't be angry at my parents, okay? I'll wait for you at your house after work tonight.”Yang Haozhong saw Wei Ling's message on his phone at work.
