Every word his mother said was like a needle piercing Sijun's heart, but Sijun had no way of refutation. After all, he had his parents to ask for help, and what his mother said didn't seem to be wrong.

"Son, remember this! A girl who talks to you about money right from the start must be very scheming! Be careful!"

After saying that, the mother hung up the phone.

Sijun sat there alone, feeling melancholy, not knowing how to tell Manxian.

Sijun was a little afraid to see Manxian. He was worried that Manxian would come over again the next day. The two of them would inevitably talk about buying a house again, and he didn't know how to bring it up with Manxian.

However, as the saying goes, "what you fear is bound to come true." Before going to bed that night, he received a WeChat message from Manxian, saying that she would come over the next night, and she also planned to go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and bring them over to cook.

The next evening, Sijun returned home early after get off work to clean up. He didn't really clean up, because he had never done any housework since he was a child, so he didn't know how to clean up the house. He just did a few quick moves and was done.

After putting the rice in the pot and turning on the power, he went to the master bedroom, closed the door, and lay on the bed to rest, waiting for Man Xian to come back. At the same time, he kept thinking about how to tell Man Xian next.

He was a little scared when he heard the door open. Then he heard a rustling sound outside. It was Man Xian packing up the things she brought with her.

He closed his eyes, his mind went blank and he felt a little nervous inside.

"Maybe Man Xian will understand. Didn't she say it yesterday? She has thought about the situation where my parents don't support her." Sijun thought to himself.

As he was thinking, the door of the room opened and a fragrance rushed into the room, filling his nose.

Sijun opened his eyes and saw Manxian. She was wearing light makeup, and the afterglow of the setting sun just penetrated the window and sprinkled on her body, making her look quiet and elegant.

"You're here!" Sijun forced a smile, but he himself felt extremely unnatural.

"Yes!" Man Xian walked to Sijun and sat at the head of the bed.

"What's wrong with you? You don't feel well!"

"I'm fine." Sijun shook his head, but his expression was extremely unnatural.

He has been like this since he was a child. He can't hide anything on his face, especially when he has something on his mind, it immediately shows on his face.

"No, you must have something wrong. Can you tell me? Maybe I can help you relieve the depression." Man Xian said with a smile.

Manxian's smile is very healing and she gives Sijun more confidence.

Sijun wanted to speak, but the words were on the tip of his tongue several times, so he swallowed them back. He could even hear his heart pounding so hard.

Man Xian was a little unhappy. She didn't like to be shy. She liked to be straightforward. Whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, since she had to say it anyway, why not be straightforward and save time?

Manxian looked displeased, and Sijun quickly stood up and wanted to hug Manxian.

Man Xian pushed him away: "What's wrong with you? No matter whether it's good or bad, you have to tell it anyway, just say it directly! I hate it most when people hesitate!"

Seeing Manxian getting anxious, Sijun knew he didn't have time to gather up his courage, so he blurted out, "Let's work hard to buy a house in the future. When we buy a house, we can just put your name on it. We already have some savings, don't worry, in two or three years, we will be able to put together a down payment for a house."

Sijun felt relieved after saying this.

Man Xian turned her head away and said nothing.

Sijun was anxious. He didn't know if Manxian was angry. He was most afraid of Manxian being angry.

He hurriedly shook Man Xian, wanting her to turn her head towards him so that she could take care of him, but Man Xian remained stiff and refused to turn her head towards him.

Sijun understood, and Manxian was angry.

As for Man Xian, as soon as she heard this, she understood that Sijun's parents had no intention of helping her at all. As expected, what she expected was correct.

But Sijun's next move surprised Manxian.

Sijun suddenly got furious, yelling and throwing the pillow and quilt to the ground.

"I knew it! I knew it! What should I do! What should I do!" Sijun shouted as he picked up the quilt and pillow from the ground and threw them down.

Man Xian came over and pulled his arm, shouting: "What are you doing?! Will this help?! Will your parents help us if you do this?! Will I be happy if you do this?!"

After saying that, Man Xian walked out of the master bedroom and went straight to the kitchen to wash and cut vegetables.

Sijun stopped shouting, but he still felt extremely upset. He put the quilt and pillow back on the bed, walked out of the master bedroom, went to the sofa in the living room, and sat there in a daze.

Man Xian was washing vegetables and couldn't help but shed tears. In fact, she had expected this result.

Which parents-in-law would so easily spend money to buy a house for their daughter-in-law and son? Even if they do buy a house, it is for their son, and the daughter-in-law will live with him.

Moreover, she thought, Sijun must have told his parents that he only wanted his name to be written on the property certificate. In the eyes of Sijun's parents, this must be a rebellious thing. Asking them to provide financial support and to write her name separately, this is simply a pipe dream!

So this result is very normal for Man Xian, but this obsession with the house is buried too deeply in her heart.

She just wanted to have a house of her own, she didn't want to cheat the boy's family of money, she really wanted to live with the boy forever. However, this obsession made her make this request involuntarily.

She washed and cut the vegetables, then came to the sofa in the living room. Seeing Sijun sitting there in a daze in thin clothes, she took Sijun's coat and put it on him.

Sijun said, "It seems that my family is not going to get better! It is not going to get better!"

"Why are you so depressed all the time!" Man Xian said. "What do you mean it can't be cured? It's normal that they don't want to pay for it. They are just worried that I will take away all the money, because in their eyes, I am a scheming woman who deceived their son!"

Sijun started to get manic again: "No! It's not like that! You are not that kind of person, and they know it!"

Man Xian hurriedly calmed Si Jun, and she leaned her head on Si Jun's shoulder: "Calm down! These are all small matters, I won't mention them at all. Let's get to know each other slowly and gain trust from each other before considering future matters. This should be fine, right!"

Only then did Sijun calm down.

"I'm hungry and the rice is almost ready, but the vegetables haven't been cooked yet. I've washed and cut everything, you go and cook the vegetables, I want to take a shower." Man Xian said.

Sijun nodded quickly, jumped up, and went to the kitchen to cook.

Man Xian's words gave him a huge reassurance, and his mood immediately became cheerful again.

Man Xian looked at Si Jun in the kitchen, felt a sense of happiness in her heart, and went to take a shower.
