The doorbell rang, and I looked through the cat's eyes and it was Jlin's father, so I quickly opened the door and welcomed him in.
Where is Jlin?
Oh, go to your friend's place
Well, forget it, I won't wait for her anymore, I happened to pass by, so I came up to take a look and tell her that next week her mother's birthday will come to our house for dinner, so you can come too
Before leaving, he paused at the elevator entrance and turned around and said: If you need work, I can make arrangements for you!
I don't need it, I will find it myself. I don't want you to have mercy on me! I stubbornly shook my head
I won't pity you, I'm my daughter! Jlin's father sighed
Len, I talked with her mother for a long time last night, and until dawn, all about Jlin's childhood
Jlin must have been very fun when he was a child!
Yes, she likes beautiful clothes, but at that time we were poor and had no money to buy them, so we just focused on making money. I thought that with money and buying beautiful clothes, Jlin would live like a princess and be very happy
But was she unhappy?
We are very busy, getting busier and busier, and we are quarreling over business matters. Otherwise, we will fly around the country, and even live at home for very little time. We don’t know whether she is happy or not. When she was in college, she rarely went home. After graduation, she moved here to live. I send some money to her card every month, hoping that she won’t work too hard and do something that she is happy with.
Do you smoke? He handed over a cigarette, and I shook my hand and refused
So he knocked the cigarette on the shell twice, then lit it, took a deep breath, and vomited it out
She likes to be a model, and her mother and I both object to it. It’s not that the family is short of money, so why do we show up in public? But she likes it, so we don’t care about her and Kevin’s affairs. We all know from Shine, so we are particularly worried about her relationship.
Did Shine tell you?
Yes, Shine is the daughter of our former neighbor. She went to college with Jlin since she was a child. Her mother and I watched them grow up. Shine is equal to half of her daughter, so if there is anything, we ask Shine.
Oh, so that's it!
So last time we heard that you were with Jlin, we were very worried. Jlin’s mother may be talking too much, but after all, she is her own daughter, so we can’t help but worry.
Later Paul was also introduced to Jlin. Do you hope that someone like Paul will be your son-in-law?
Paul is the son of my old friend in business. Her mother and I like this child very much. Naturally, I want him to be my son-in-law and give Jlin to him. We are more at ease. Please believe that we have no malice towards you and do not look down on you at all. It is just because Jlin is our only daughter. We really don’t want her to suffer any blows like Kevin again!
But have you asked Jlin? She is a human being and has her own ideas. She is with me and they are very happy with each other. What are you worried about?
Jlin's father sighed, looked at the curling smoke from the cigarette butts in his hand, and continued: What we are worried about is not Jlin's momentary happiness or not. People have to live for the rest of their lives. In order to have a few months of happiness, they end up being unhappy for the rest of their lives. This is not what we want to see!
Are you happy to marry into a wealthy family?
Wrong, the Paul family is not a wealthy family at all. To put it bluntly, we really don’t like the money of their family. There are quite a few so-called wealthy families who like Jlin, and they all rejected it. Why? Because we just hope that Jlin can marry someone who is a career-oriented, has a sense of family, and knows how to enjoy life, rather than just a rich person
I don’t have money, don’t even have the qualifications to love Jlin?
Everyone can love Jlin, but not everyone can bring happiness to Jlin!
What is happiness! Being with your beloved is happiness!
Happiness requires a material basis. If I hadn't paid all the rent for the second half of the year, you must look for a house everywhere now. Do you think you will be happy? If Jlin is interested in a set of clothes and you have to spend a whole month's salary to buy it, do you still think that such a life is full of happiness? Perhaps in your heart, Jlin shouldn't have liked that set of clothes at all, but is the person who can only bury the things he likes deeply in his heart, still a happy Jlin!?
Happiness cannot be measured by money, I don’t think your idea is correct!
Please believe me, because I really encountered such a thing back then and didn’t buy that dress, which made me regret that I have the money for the rest of my life. Not to mention a piece of clothing, I can buy 10,000 pieces at will, but can I still buy the clothes that Jlin is looking forward to in great expectation? Even if I buy it, can I still go back to that moment and give it to Jlin?
No, I know what you want to say, but I think I will work hard. Sooner or later, I will take Jlin to realize all her dreams!
When and how old are you? Will you be successful in your career? The clothes you are looking forward to at the age of ten will always stay in your life at the age of ten. How much significance does the dream of twenty-five have to be realized at the age of fifty?
Do you mean I should leave Jlin? Because I am poor and I have no career, I am just a person who can't even find a job!
I mean if you really love her, you should give Jlin happiness. No matter what way, if you think you may be better for each other after leaving her, then I hope you will face your own thoughts!
But I think that being with her is the happiest thing and the most responsible thing for each other. I believe that I can give Jlin happiness, that is me, either others, or me, Len!
Jlin's father snatched the cigarette butts, nodded with a smile, patted my shoulder, and said: Young man, you can't walk far with just confidence and courage. Sooner or later, you will understand what I said. When you have a child, the child will be the same size as you and Jlin, you will understand me even more.
I was a little scared as he walked into the elevator and disappeared in front of me.
I know, they still haven't divorced after all. I don't know why, nor do I know whether they still have feelings. Perhaps in their position, I often have to repair and maintain some outsiders' appearance that looks so beautiful and magnificent.
Some people say that when you are old, you know that it turns out that maintaining is easy, but giving up is difficult.
Marriage is like this, career is like this, everything is like this, I think Jlin's parents must have an unusual understanding of this
And how far can my courage last?
Where is Jlin?
Oh, go to your friend's place
Well, forget it, I won't wait for her anymore, I happened to pass by, so I came up to take a look and tell her that next week her mother's birthday will come to our house for dinner, so you can come too
