"They will no longer come to me every month to urge me to give them money, and they will no longer whisper in my ears that I want to marry a rich and good man. I will honor them well in the future and not look down upon them. I will pay tuition and living expenses for my younger brothers and sisters. I want them to be as successful as me and help them find good jobs in big cities in the future."
Thinking of the people at home and the persecution over the years, Gu Xue held his head in distress. "Ever since I graduated and went out to look for a job, they have been saying this. I am really under a lot of pressure."
"As soon as I get my salary every month, I have to give them money as soon as possible to provide living expenses for my younger brothers and sisters. They still think it's not enough, but they don't even think about how much salary I can have by myself."
"I still have to eat here, pay rent, and repay the loan I owed during the plastic surgery. That woman Xia Xiaolin still comes and reaches out to me from time to time. How can I have so much money? Do they think the big cities outside are full of gold?"
"I complained to them and explained to them, but they never listened. They only thought about how they worked so hard to raise me and spent so much money to send me to college. After I graduated, it was time to repay them."
"You're so stupid." Su Qiao can actually understand her situation, but she feels that the biggest problem lies with herself.
"They raise their children until they reach adulthood and send you to school. This is their obligation. And you provide for them in old age. This is your responsibility and gratitude. However, filial piety cannot be excessive, let alone endless."
"As for your younger brothers and sisters, it's your parents' responsibility to raise them, and you shouldn't care about them at all."
Who says that as a sister, you have to support your younger siblings?
"And if a woman like Xia Xiaolin meets me, she will only get slapped and won't even give her a chance to threaten her. For a man like Sun Zhihao, you should be lucky that he didn't fall in love with you in the first place."
"As for Ding Peixin, you don't have to worry about anything. Just let her continue to live with Sun Zhihao. This is the greatest revenge and punishment for her."
"Actually, in the final analysis, everything you have come to this point is just your jealousy and greed."
Su Qiao pointedly pointed out, Gu Xue smiled bitterly, "I know."
"Actually, I know where I went wrong, but people are always like this. They can't control themselves and take chances."
"Actually, when I first met you, I had a bad premonition and thought that today would happen. However, I don't regret it."
"I'm so tired from living, maybe it's a relief to end it like this."
Su Qiao shook his head helplessly, feeling a little pity, "You care too much about what others think, so you live a tired life."
"In fact, the only thing everyone has to do throughout their lives is to get rid of the expectations of others and find their true self. But you are obviously still missing the last step."
Gu Xue is strong, calm, smart and hard-working. She knows what she wants, but she is always burdened by her inferiority complex, trapped by her family, and dragged into the abyss by the desire and temptation of money.
If she could understand that the expectations and desires of her parents and everyone else had nothing to do with her. She only needed to live a good life and have a clear conscience, then she would not have been pushed to where she is today.
Gu Xue looked at Su Qiao, and suddenly felt a trace of regret.
Maybe... maybe if she doesn't do those things, she might meet Su Qiao one day. After all, they both live in the same city.
They can even become best friends.
