After a few seconds of silence, I asked, "Are you happy now?"

Qiu Yanru smiled at me and said, "What is happiness? I have been here like this since I was a child."

Her smile was anything but bright.

I said, "I'm telling you that because I really want you to change your life. I don't want to see you being dragged down anymore."

"I know, but I don't want to be the person you say."

Qiu Yanru's eyes were still awake.

"OK then."

I didn’t say anything.

Qiu Yanru does not have enough social experience and has not yet realized how cruel the reality of society is.

There is nothing wrong with a person's persistence, but in the face of many irresistible external forces, personal persistence is really vulnerable.

Qiu Yanru went to work again, but instead of receiving customers, she was busy familiarizing herself with the car models and memorizing words from a small notebook.

Her efforts can be seen by everyone, but in the current environment, if her thinking does not change, it may be difficult to make money.

Although her brother's condition is temporarily stable, if he wants to survive longer, he will need a lot of money for surgery. This is the biggest pressure.

Maybe after some time, when she experiences the hardships of life and the pressure on her family, she will change her mind.

But neither my cousin nor I could wait that long.

It was almost noon when his cousin called and said that he had met Qiu Yanru's parents and brother, and would pick them up immediately and let them persuade Qiu Yanru to compromise.

I think my cousin's approach is a bit cruel.

How much courage does it take for a girl who has been submissive since childhood to resist the authority of her parents and brother?

Maybe when the family met, that's when Qiu Yanru collapsed.

Suddenly, I looked at Qiu Yanru with a bit of pity.

At noon, there was a working meal in the 4S store. The saleswoman brought me one and a glass of juice, and then we sat down to eat with other salesmen.

Qiu Yanru also wanted to sit with those salesmen, but she seemed to be excluded and was arranged to have dinner with me.

From the saleswoman's point of view, I am attracted to Qiu Yanru, so as long as Qiu Yanru gives me some good looks, maybe my cousin can pick up the car today.

They still think of things too simply.

Qiu Yanru sat across from me, eating her meal in small bites without saying a word.

I felt it was a bit awkward to eat like this, so I took the initiative to ask: "You were late this morning. Is it because of family matters?"

Qiu Yanru nodded, "My dad called me and it was about you."

"What's their attitude?"

Qiu Yanru raised her head and looked at me, "Do you really not know their attitude?"

"know."

I lowered my head.

When people are dealing with a loss, they really can't be stubborn.

At least I'm not that thick-skinned.

The meal was not interesting, and Qiu Yanru felt very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, not long after dinner, my cousin called me and said that he had brought Qiu Yanru's parents and brother over, and asked me to call Qiu Yanru out and ask them to do some ideological work for Qiu Yanru.

This time Qiu Yanru didn't resist much and went out with me.

My cousin booked a private room in a nearby hotel to facilitate the conversation.

When I took Qiu Yanru there, they had already eaten.

It takes more than an hour by car to get here from Qiu Yanru's house. They are already hungry. In order to leave a good impression on them, my cousin must of course be more attentive.

A full meal only costs two to three hundred yuan, but if things are done well, my cousin can get more than three hundred thousand yuan in return!

Originally, the cousin planned to wait until they finished eating before talking about business, but Qiu Yanru's father couldn't wait any longer. When he saw Qiu Yanru coming over, he immediately put down his chopsticks.

"Xiaoru, come here!"

Qiu Yanru was obviously a little afraid of her father, so she walked over honestly.

Qiu Jian, Qiu Yanru's father, had a kind expression on his face.

"Xiaoru, you also know that your brother's disease may worsen at any time if you don't hurry up and have an operation. Seeing that your mother and I are incompetent and can't make money, we can only watch your brother suffer. It’s uncomfortable.”

Qiu Yanru's mother immediately began to wipe her tears. Qiu Yanru's brother lowered his head, his face was sallow and lacked energy, but the calculation in his eyes was still obvious.

When I met Qiu Yanru’s parents yesterday, they were not like this!

They didn't consider Qiu Yanru's idea at all at that time. They just wanted to sell Qiu Yanru quickly in exchange for money, treat their son's illness, and improve their family's life.

Today, probably because of the special instructions from their cousin, they decided to play the family card.

Qiu Yanru's face looked unnatural, but she still insisted on her decision.

"Dad, I know that my brother's illness is difficult to cure, but I will work hard! I will definitely make money to treat my brother, and I will also take good care of you! Don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it!"

Qiu Jian's face didn't look good either. He was willing to talk to Qiu Yanru and he had given Qiu Yanru a lot of face. He didn't expect that she didn't know how to be grateful at all and actually said these things in front of outsiders.

However, he still managed not to have an attack.

"Xiaoru, we are very happy that you have this idea, but your brother's illness cannot wait any longer. I have already called your store. You have been there for several days and you haven't even sold a car. When you go out and you can't even receive customers, how can you expect us to trust you? When you can sell the car alone, your brother will probably..."

Qiu Jian didn't say anything further, but everyone knew what he meant.

Qiu Yanru's brother coughed and said, "Dad, don't force Xiaoru. This is not her responsibility in the first place."

Qiu Yanru's mother continued to wipe her tears, "Son, why do you have such a miserable life! Your father and I raised you with great difficulty, why did you just... Oh! Why did I raise such a daughter? There was obviously a way to save her. Her brother, why are you so cruel!"

Qiu Yanru's mother's reaction was normal at first, but later she started to act up and engage in moral kidnapping.

My cousin quickly came out to smooth things over, "Auntie, don't say that, Xiao Qiu has his own ideas..."

"What can she think? She just wants to see her brother die so she can take over our property!"

When Qiu Jian saw his wife starting to act, he stopped pretending.

"Don't we know what she is like? She has been disobedient since she was a child, so let's worry! We spent so much money to raise her, but we didn't expect to raise her like a white-eyed wolf!

Forget it, the worst case scenario is that we don't recognize her, but I didn't expect her heart to be so cruel. She watched her brother get such a disease, but she didn't even do anything. She also said that she was plotting our property? "

Hearing Qiu Jian's words, I wanted to laugh.

What other assets does Qiu Jian’s family have?

Qiu Yanru's brother is already twenty-seven years old and has not yet gotten married. This is not only due to his own reasons, but also to his family.

Not only can his family not provide much help, but they even need help from the woman. Which girl with a clear mind is willing to marry such a person and into such a family?

According to the information I found, Qiu Yanru's brother had been on blind dates several times before, but their family couldn't even afford the most basic betrothal gift, let alone buy a house or a car, so everything went wrong.

That is to say, Qiu Jian and his wife were not confused about Qiu Yanru. They wanted to sell their daughter in exchange for money and give their son a wife.

I suspect they had this in mind when they were willing to give birth to Qiu Yanru.

So what else is there about their family that Qiu Yanru should be concerned about?

But Qiu Jian and his wife firmly believed that this was what Qiu Yanru thought. Even Qiu Yanru's brother was affected. The way he looked at Qiu Yanru was not like a brother looking at his sister, but like he was looking at an enemy.

I really feel worthless for Qiu Yanru from the bottom of my heart.

When Qiu Yanru's mother saw Qiu Jian's rebellion, she got angry and grabbed Qiu Yanru, calling her a white-eyed wolf, ungrateful, and heartbroken.

Qiu Yanru had been submissive since she was a child and did not dare to fight back. She held her head and let her mother beat her.

Fortunately, Qiu Yanru's mother still had some sense of control and did not scratch Qiu Yanru's face.

She also knew that their family had to rely on Qiu Yanru's face to make a living.

My cousin couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly went up and pulled Qiu Yanru's mother away.

"Auntie, don't be impulsive. Let's talk carefully if we have something to say."

Qiu Yanru was hiding in the corner, tears already falling, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

"How can you say this? Why did I raise such a shameless thing!"

Qiu Yanru's mother's anger has not subsided, and she is getting more and more angry with her scolding, spouting all kinds of unpleasant words. Not to mention Qiu Yanru, the person involved, even I, the bystander, can't stand listening.

The cousin couldn't stand listening anymore, or he felt that Qiu Yanru might become Boss Zhang's woman in the future. He had to take care of the other party's face, so he quickly came up and pulled Qiu Yanru's mother aside to prevent her from continuing to output.

But Qiu Yanru's mother couldn't stop Qiu Jian.

Qiu Jian was also angry. He slammed the table and showed off his grand manner.

"Shut up! Xiaoru, I'm just asking you once, do you want to save your brother?"

"save!"

Qiu Yanru wiped the tears from her face, "But it's not what you said. I can work hard, I will work hard to make money, and I will find ways to raise money."

"Collect money? I'll collect money!"

Qiu Jian grabbed a tea cup and smashed it, "You don't even know what you are like when you ride a horse! If you make money by pointing it at you, your mother and I will starve to death, and your brother will not be able to undergo surgery until he dies! Don't stay here!" Talk nonsense to me! I am your father, you have to listen to what I say! You have to do whatever I ask you to do, or I will beat you to death right now!"

Seeing Qiu Jian's appearance, I was not only disgusted, but also looked down upon him very much.

It was obvious that he had no ability, his son was ill and he couldn't pay for the operation, and he was reluctant to sell the house, so he decided on his daughter, but he didn't feel anything was wrong at all. On the contrary, he looked confident.

Is this kind of person worthy of being a father?

If he and I hadn't had the same goal, I would have wanted to go up and slap him twice.

The cousin looked at Qiu Yanru, thinking that Qiu Jian's anger would make Qiu Yanru compromise, but things did not develop as expected.

Facing the furious Qiu Jian, Qiu Yanru not only did not dodge, but stood up straight and looked at Qiu Jian. She took out a fruit knife from her pocket with her right hand and pressed the tip of the knife against her neck with a determined look.

"If you keep forcing me, I will die here!"

I was immediately frightened, because I clearly saw that the fruit knife in Qiu Yanru's hand was merciless at all, and there were blood splatters on his neck!
