Lu Ling laughed even louder. She climbed onto the table and laughed out loud.
"Crazy!" Lu Yiwei was no longer in the mood to eat. He got up and prepared to go upstairs.
"Come back here!" Lu Ling shouted, pointing at Lu Yiwei with a savage look on her face.
Lu Yiwei ignored her and went upstairs. Seeing this, Lu Ling followed them. Liu Cuilan shouted, "What is going on? Are you guys still eating? "
Upstairs, Lu Ling sat next to Lu Yiwei like a little bird. She held his arm and giggled.
Lu Yiwei was tortured by Lu Ling. He said, "Lingzi, if you have something to say, say it. If not, go and help mom clean up. I still have work to do."
Lu Ling saw Lu Yiwei was angry. She controlled her emotions and said seriously, "Brother, I want to talk to you seriously."
"Say it! What were you doing earlier? You are so nervous. " Lu Yiwei picked up a cigarette and lit it. He put his feet on the table and waited for Lu Ling to talk.
Lu Ling said, "Brother, what do you think of Mei Jia?"
"She is good!"
"Good in what way?" Lu Ling asked.
Lu Yiwei did not know what Lu Ling wanted. He turned around and said, "Good is good. Why do you have so much nonsense?"
Lu Ling blinked and said, "How about compared to your current girlfriend?"
Lu Yiwei finally reacted. He pushed Lu Ling away and said, "Don't think too much. Go do what you need to do!"
Lu Ling stuck to Lu Yiwei like a piece of dog skin plaster and said, "Brother, did you notice the look in Mei Jia's eyes? I found out that she's interested in you. "
Lu Yiwei's eyes darted around as he searched for the information he had missed earlier. Mei Jia's behavior today was indeed abnormal, but when he thought of his girlfriend, Su Meng, he quickly retracted his wandering thoughts and said, "What are you talking about? Don't spout nonsense!"
Lu Ling stubbornly snatched the cigarette from Lu Yiwei's hand and fiercely extinguished it. Then, he stood in front of him and solemnly said, "Brother! Although I haven't met your new girlfriend, I know a little about her situation. Her conditions are better than yours by more than a little. Do you really expect to get a pure love? Even if that's the case, don't forget about Li Shu-man's family. She's a good example. "
When Lu Ling roared, her face looked ferocious. She didn't look like a girl at all. Lu Yiwei was stunned for a moment. He blinked his eyes and didn't know how to answer. After a moment of silence, Lu Yiwei leaned on the sofa and said, "Lingzi, you're still young. There are some things you don't understand. Me and Su Meng aren't like what you think."
"Yes, I don't understand. But you're my brother. I can't ignore your marriage. Su Meng's family and Li Shu-man's family are carved from the same mold. They both come from eunuchs' families. What about you? What are you? At best, you're a peasant who just got rid of the shackles of the land! What marriage equality and freedom? Do you think you can be equal? Will you be free? If you marry Su Meng, what you'll face is the ridicule and disdain of her family. Is that the kind of life you want? Wake up! "
Lu Ling's words were like knives cutting into Lu Yiwei's heart. He, who was usually gentle, suddenly became irritable. He stood up and pointed at Lu Ling and said, "What right do you have to say that about Su Meng? Do you think you're qualified? Don't you think your words are a bit too much? Yes! It's true that I'm a peasant, but who came into my life when I needed help the most? Who gave me warmth when I was at my lowest point? It's not you, and it's not anyone else. It's Su Meng! We've gone through so many ups and downs together. What right do you have to deny her with just one sentence? Do you know her? "
Lu Ling was a typical person who refused to be cowed by force. Seeing that Lu Yiwei was getting angry, she also fought back. She put her hands on her waist and said, "Yes, she came into your life when you were at your lowest point. But have you ever thought about how many changes had happened in the family during this period? Because of you, I had to leave my hometown to work in the south. Because of you, my father got seriously ill and almost died. Because of you, my mother had to endure the torture of ridicule every day. Because of you, my parents couldn't see the granddaughter they missed day and night. Isn't all this caused by you? You only have yourself in your eyes. When have you ever thought about this family? How old are my parents? Can they afford to play with you? You're too selfish! "
The more Lu Ling spoke, the angrier she got. She even shed tears. After lowering her voice, she said, "Brother, I didn't mean to blame you. I heard from my parents that two days ago, Li Qiankun came to settle the score with you with a machete. Until now, my sister-in-law is still in the hospital. But you don't dare to do anything to him. Why? Because he's too powerful, and you're just an unarmed nobody. Can you compete with his family? If you and Su Meng really got married, it's hard to say whether this day would come. But when I saw how ruthless Li Shu-man's family was, I was worried for you. I'm afraid that you won't be happy. In the end, a man can't live in the shadow of a woman. If you do, you'll become more cowardly and be looked down upon by others. "
Lu Yiwei had planned to teach Lu Ling, who had no sense of seniority, a lesson. But after hearing what she said, he was shocked. He was like a monkey that was plucked and thrown in front of everyone to be humiliated and cursed. Lu Yiwei suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if there was a meat grinder in his chest. Instantly, he was covered in sweat as he held onto his chest and slowly sat on the couch, gasping for air.
When Lu Ling saw this, she was at a loss of what to do. She immediately ran to the staircase and called for her mother. When Liu Cuilan heard it, she placed the bowl in her hand on the kitchen counter and turned to leave. But who knew that she didn't place it properly and it fell to the ground. Liu Cuilan couldn't be bothered about it as she anxiously went upstairs.
"Brother, are you alright? Don't scare me. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said that to you. "Lu Ling sobbed as she caressed Lu Yiwei's back.
After resting for a while, Lu Yiwei recovered. For some reason, he had never felt like this today. Could it be that his blood pressure was also high? Lu Yiwei weakly waved his hand and said, "Lingzi, I know that you're doing this out of goodwill. I don't blame you. I'll be fine after some rest. "
When Liu Cuilan came up and saw Lu Yiwei in such a state, she immediately panicked. She ran to Lu Yiwei and said, "Weize, are you alright? Don't scare me. "
After Lu Yiwei calmed down, he replied, "Mom, I'm fine. You guys can go down first. Let me rest for a while. "
"Are you really fine? If not, we'll go to the hospital! "Liu Cuilan was still worried.
Lu Yiwei stood up and pushed Lu Ling down. "I'm really fine. Look at me, I'm fine now. Can you guys let me rest for a while?"
Liu Cuilan and Lu Ling went down the stairs. Lu Yiwei returned to his bedroom and locked the door. He quietly laid on the bed and covered his head with the blanket. He was still thinking about what Lu Ling said.
"Nobody? Too selfish? Cowardly? Being looked down upon? "A few keywords popped up in Lu Yiwei's mind as he started to re-evaluate himself. Lu Ling's words were a little extreme, but they were all true. That's right, he was too selfish. He had never considered the feelings of his family and only pursued what he liked. Who would've thought that his family would be under so much pressure for him?
Lu Yiwei initially had a trace of hope for his relationship with Su Meng. But Lu Ling's words had completely extinguished that hope. Su Meng was like a princess that stood at the top. Although he had the fortune to capture her heart, he would always have to lower his head to her, which made him feel suffocated. However, he wasn't willing to give up just like that. After all, they still had feelings for each other. Faced with this choice, Lu Yiwei was at a loss. His left hand was love, while his right hand was dignity. No matter which hand he chose, he would be abandoning something irreversible.
If he really didn't have the ability and planned to live the rest of his life by relying on his wife's glory, it would be fine. But he wasn't a coward. He was a man with hands and feet, flesh and blood. Life was full of ups and downs. Lu Yiwei had faced too many choices over the years. This time, he was directly forced into a dead end.
After a moment of muddleheadedness, his mind was much clearer. He sat up and looked at the calendar on the wall. It was getting closer and closer to the Spring Festival. Suddenly, he felt a little scared. After the Spring Festival, he would be one year older. His parents would also be one year older. Thinking about how he had already entered his thirties and still achieved nothing, he felt extremely depressed and desolate.
