After the flash marriage, the abstinent president embraces his wife and pampers her every day
Chapter 36: Telegram from Cousin Lin Wanting
Lin Qian was walking, still savoring the sweetness of the moment. Suddenly, her cell phone rang. It was Liao Meijuan. Lin Qian frowned and answered the call.
"Qianqian, your brother is in trouble again." Liao Meijuan's voice was pleading.
"What's the matter?" Lin Qian asked coldly.
"He and Zhang Xinyue had a fight, and now Zhang Xinyue wants a dowry of 200 million yuan, otherwise she won't get married. You know your brother's situation. The dowry is so high, we really can't afford it..." Liao Meijuan's words were full of helplessness and expectation.
"Mom, I've already given you 500 million to solve your problems. Why do you want more money now?" Lin Qian's voice was filled with obvious impatience.
"That 500 million...your brother...lost it all." Liao Meijuan finally told the truth.
Lin Qian took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Mom, I won't interfere in this matter anymore. You have to learn to solve the problem by yourselves. I can't keep paying for Lin Fuqiang's mistakes."
"Qianqian, he is your brother! You can't just stand by and watch him die!" Liao Meijuan almost cried on the other end of the phone.
"Mom, I also have my own family and responsibilities. Lu Jingshen has already given too much to our family, and I can't let him pay for our family's problems anymore. Lin Fuqiang needs to be responsible for his own actions. This is best for him." Lin Qian said firmly, and then hung up the phone.
Lin Qian put down the phone, feeling mixed emotions. She knew that doing so would disappoint her stepmother and brother, but she also knew that continuing to help them would only make her brother more dependent and reckless. Lin Fuqiang needed to learn to be independent and take on his own responsibilities, which would be the best help for him.
The call from her stepmother made her feel a little irritated.
She sighed softly and continued walking towards the teaching building.
During the break, she took out her cell phone and opened her Moments to see everyone's latest updates.
Suddenly, she saw her cousin Lin Wanting post a puzzling post. Lin Qian could tell at a glance that her cousin might have been wronged again. Because every time her cousin was in a bad mood, she would post some confusing Moments. She didn't want people to peek into her inner world, but she couldn't help but want to vent her inner emotions in this way.
Lin Qian recalled what her cousin had gone through, and a complex wave of emotions welled up in her heart, with sympathy and worry intertwined.
Lin Wanting is Lin Qian's cousin and her aunt's daughter. Her aunt dropped out of school and went out to work, and her relationship was turbulent. After giving birth to Lin Wanting out of wedlock, she left her in her hometown. Therefore, Lin Wanting spent most of her childhood with Lin Qian. She suffered from Lin Qian's stepmother's sarcasm since she was a child, so she is a little introverted and sensitive.
After graduating from college, Lin Wanting entered the marriage hall early in order to escape from that family. However, the happy life she thought she could get did not come as expected. After marriage, her cousin's husband's attitude towards her became increasingly cold, and he often stayed out all night and fooled around outside. What made Lin Qian even more angry was that her cousin's husband hit Lin Wanting and even threatened to find a mistress outside to have a son. Especially after Lin Wanting gave birth to two daughters, her position in her husband's family became even more precarious and she was despised.
Lin Qian tried to persuade her cousin to divorce many times, but was defeated by her cousin's hesitation and worries every time. She was afraid that her daughters would be ridiculed and discriminated against by their classmates after the divorce, and she was even more worried that they would not be able to adapt to the new living environment. Therefore, although the marriage was in name only, Lin Wanting chose to swallow her anger and continue to maintain this broken relationship.
Looking at her cousin's circle of friends, Lin Qian felt mixed emotions. She understood her cousin's helplessness and difficulties, but she also hoped that she could face reality bravely and pursue her own happiness. Anyway, she couldn't concentrate on reading now, so Lin Qian decided to put down what she was doing and take the initiative to talk to her cousin. Perhaps, she could give her cousin some support and encouragement to help her get out of trouble and welcome a new life.
She decided to have a good talk with her cousin, perhaps she could give her some support and encouragement.
She sent a WeChat message to Lin Wanting: [Sister, what are you doing? How are you doing recently? ]
Lin Wanting quickly replied to Lin Qian's message, her tone sounding relatively calm: [I'm doing the laundry, that's all.]
Lin Qian took a deep breath, carefully selected her words, and slowly wrote: [Sister, I just saw the circle of friends you posted. Did you encounter something unhappy again? If you are willing to talk, I am willing to listen at any time. ]
Lin Wanting was silent for a while before slowly replying: [It's nothing serious, just some trivial matters at home. You know, my mother-in-law has always wanted a grandson, but I gave birth to two daughters. She often nags in my ear, and sometimes says some unpleasant things in front of the children. Your brother-in-law doesn't stand on my side either, and always speaks for his mother. I feel like an outsider in this family.]
Lin Qian looked at the words on the screen and felt uncomfortable. She knew that her cousin had suffered a lot of grievances in her husband's family, but she was powerless to change the status quo. She thought for a while and replied: "Sister, I understand your feelings. But you should know that your happiness should not depend on how others see you or treat you. You should think about yourself and your children and bravely pursue your own happiness. If you feel that this marriage has made you feel painful and depressed, then maybe leaving is a better choice. 】
Lin Wanting did not reply immediately, and Lin Qian did not urge her. She knew that her cousin needed time to digest these words and also needed the courage to face her own problems.
After a long while, Lin Wanting sent a long message: [Qianqian, thank you for your support and concern. I understand what you said, but I just can't make up my mind. I am afraid that the children will be hurt after the divorce, and I am also afraid that I will not be able to live independently. I know I am a coward, but I really don't know what to do. ]
Seeing this message, Lin Qian felt even more sad. She knew that her cousin's concerns and worries were real, but she also believed that her cousin had the ability to change her own destiny. She thought about it and replied: [Sister, no one is perfect, and no one can be strong all the time. But you can try to believe in yourself and believe that the future will be better. You can find a job or learn some new skills to improve your abilities, or try to make some new friends. This will not only make you more independent and confident, but also allow you to meet more like-minded people. As for the children, what they need is a happy and healthy mother, not a mother who is frowning all day long. So, for the future of yourself and your children, you must take that step bravely. ]
Lin Wanting: [I understand the truth, but I still can't live a good life. I'm not even as good as my mother in this life. My mother at least has the courage to pursue happiness, but I'm too cowardly...]
Lin Qian: [Sister, you can't always be too hard on yourself. Life is not a competition, it's not about who lives better, but how you understand and feel your life. Your mother has her courage and pursuit, but you also have your tenacity and beauty. You are not a coward, you just need to find your own way to face life. ]
Lin Wanting: [But, I see people around me living such wonderful lives, but I always seem to be standing still, unable to move forward.]
Lin Qian: [Everyone's pace of life is different. You can't simply use other people's standards to measure yourself. You should pay attention to your heart, find your own interests and passions, and then work hard to pursue them. As long as you are willing to believe in yourself, no matter how life changes, you have the ability to control your own destiny. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to live the life you want. ]
It took Lin Qian a long time to calm Lin Wanting down.
When she thought of her cousin's chaotic life, she felt unhappy.
Perhaps, marriage is just like this, but people often imagine it to be too beautiful.
