Chapter 575: 152: Extremely Proud, Comparison (One More)_1
Wang Meiying feigned politeness and said, “Ronghua, let Wenhua take you home.”
“No need,” Li Ronghua refused, “Wenhua is reading. We better not disturb him.”
Wang Meiying smiled and said, “Ronghua, you’re such a good kid.”
Li Ronghua, slightly embarrassed, said, “I’m just doing what I should do.”
With that said, Li Ronghua left on his bike.
Watching Li Ronghua’s retreating figure, Wang Meiying spat on the ground and muttered, “Pah! What a piece of trash! A shameless beggar!”
After Li Ronghua left, Zhou Wenhua emerged from the room.
He had been pretending to read to avoid Li Ronghua.
Zhou Guicai and Wang Meiying were sitting at the table.
Zhou Wenhua resumed, “Mom, Dad, I want to break up with Li Ronghua as soon as possible!”
“Why?” Zhou Guicai asked, surprised.
Impatient, Wang Meiying asked, “Did Zijin ask you to break up as soon as possible?”
In reality, Su Ziqin was already with Zhou Wenhua.
Zhou’s parents were very pleased with their prospective daughter-in-law.
Zhou Wenhua continued, “Zijin understands me. She also sympathizes with Li Ronghua and agrees to give me time to handle this. But I just can’t stand it anymore, every minute with Li Ronghua is torture!”
He had nothing in common with Li Ronghua.
When he said one thing, Li Ronghua could manage to twist it to something else.
Sometimes her responses were entirely unrelated.
He was really fed up.
“No way, you can’t break up with Li Ronghua for the time being.” Zhou Guicai spoke up.
“Right, I don’t agree either.”
“Why?” Zhou Wenhua looked at his parents incredulously, “Mom, Dad, don’t you dislike Li Ronghua too?”
“Yes, we certainly don’t like Li Ronghua.” Zhou Guicai nodded.
Impatiently, Zhou Wenhua asked, “Then why won’t you let me break up with her?”
The sooner he broke up, the sooner he’d be free.
Because of Li Ronghua, he couldn’t openly introduce Su Zijin to others.
He could only say that Su Zijin was his classmate, which resulted in Su Zijin suffering a lot.
Wang Meiying continued, “You and Zijin are dating, eating, going to the movies, buying clothes, doesn’t all of that cost money? You certainly can’t use Zijin’s money. Our income is not substantial, and with your brother and sister still studying, when you really break up with Li Ronghua, where will the money come from?”
To their family, Li Ronghua was like a free ATM.
Without Li Ronghua, their life wouldn’t be as comfortable.
Regardless of the job Li Ronghua was doing, she gave all her money to their family without reserving a cent for herself.
Sometimes, Li Ronghua would even give money from her own parents to Zhou Wenhua.
Zhou Wenhua frowned, “Am I supposed to rely on a woman to support me?!”
Zhou Wenhua was poor but proud.
He didn’t want to be tagged as one living off a woman.
If his classmates heard about it, how would he save face?
Zhou Guicai glanced at Zhou Wenhua, “Now is not the time for you to act bravely! There are countless examples of men having multiple wives in ancient times. If a woman is willing to give you money, that’s because of your own ability.”
Hearing this, Wang Meiying immediately echoed, “Exactly! Your father is absolutely right! Does the guy next door, Er Gouzi, have such ability? I’ve heard from the matchmaker, his mother introduced him to so many girls, not one of them liked him!”
When Wang Meiying said this, she appeared extremely proud.
Could she not be proud of having such a capable son?
Not everyone had the fortune to have such a capable son.
Zhou Wenhua’s vanity was slowly filled by his parents’ words.
Yes.
Li Ronghua willingly gave him money, but he had never asked her for a cent.
As for the money that came unasked, why wouldn’t he accept it?
