Chapter 145: Annoyed to Death

Zhao Linxin knew today’s efforts were in vain. She looked at Luo Qiao and asked, “It seems I’ve made this trip for nothing, dear girl. Could you tell me what ‘mommy’s boy’ means?”

Luo Qiao replied, “A ‘mommy’s boy’ is someone who always listens to his mother, believes she is always right, and centers his life around her. It also refers to a child who has been spoiled by his mother. In short, everything revolves around his mother’s opinions.

I can’t marry such a man who has no thoughts of his own and agrees with everything his mother says. It’s like he has no mind of his own, and I just can’t accept that. Auntie, is there anything else you would like to ask?”

Luo Qiao’s words caused a burst of laughter from the onlookers outside. ‘Mommy’s boy’ seemed to perfectly describe Gao Rushen, the third son of the Gao family. He couldn’t handle much work and was as delicate as a girl.

Li Xiulan babied him, refusing to let him do any heavy lifting. He enjoyed the best food and clothes, and most fittingly, he always turned to Li Xiulan for decisions on everything.

‘Mommy’s boy,’ what a fitting term! It caught on in Qingshan Village after that, whenever they saw Gao Rushen. But that’s a story for another day.

Li Xiulan, standing aside, was furious. “Who do you think you are, demanding so much? You’re just an orphan girl spouting nonsense. Do you think it’s so easy to get into college?”

Li Xiulan fired back, “Which unit does he work for, how much does he earn? Are you even worthy of someone like that? Even the villagers have to consider whether they can accept an orphan like you. Your natal family can’t even provide someone to support you through big events or small matters.”

Luo Qiao retorted, “Auntie Li, I at least saved your husband’s life once. When you gave me two dried beans as a token of gratitude, I thought times were tough for everyone and felt awkward accepting it from a villager like you.

What’s the meaning of standing here now and slandering me? Don’t lose your conscience. You shouldn’t [1]“burn bridges right after crossing the river” means to destroy or damage relationships or connections immediately after benefiting from them.

Li Xiulan was too angry to respond. Normally she was fierce, but she found herself unable to say anything particularly harsh at this moment.

Luo Qiao reached out and grabbed a handful of dried red dates from the bamboo basket behind the door, stuffing them into Zhao Linxin’s hand. “Auntie, thank you for making this trip. Here, have a few sweet dates. When you go back, tell that family that I’m not considering this matter right now.

Even if I find a partner, I’ll wait until after I enter university. Nowadays, the country advocates free love. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I need to find someone with similar aspirations, don’t you agree?”

Li Xiulan snorted. “Well, you also need the ability to get into university and the luck to do so.”

Luo Qiao smiled gently. “Auntie Li, everyone has their own ambitions. I’m confident in my studies, though I won’t boast about getting into a top-tier university. But getting into a decent university shouldn’t be a problem.

If I don’t succeed in one attempt, I can always take the exam again. What’s there to be so angry about? Whether I go to university or not has nothing to do with your Gao family. Auntie, you’re being unfair. I rescued someone and ended up with an enemy instead. From now on, I won’t easily extend my hand again.

What kind of situation is this? I rescue someone and it turns into a mistake. Not speaking up for me is one thing, but you keep belittling me. Auntie, you’re really something.”

After saying this, she turned to Zhao Linxin and said, “Auntie Zhao, it’s getting late. The porridge in my pot might overflow soon, so I won’t keep you here.”

Luo Qiao reached behind and brought out the small bamboo basket prepared by Lu Yichen, then grabbed another handful of dried red dates and put them into Zhao Linxin’s pocket. With this gesture, what more could Zhao Linxin say?
