My life, I call the shots!
“Yanyan, you’re the only one in our family who can help your older brother now. For mother’s sake, please help him!” Wei Guiqin smiled and placed a piece of meat in her daughter’s bowl.
Su Hanyan looked down at the pork belly in her bowl and replied with a smile, “Mother, I can’t help you with this. You should find someone else.”
The older woman was stunned. Her youngest daughter, who had always been obedient, did not actually give in this time.
She understood that her daughter was unwilling, but for the sake of her son’s happiness, she had to sacrifice her daughter’s interests.
After all, daughters were bound to get married sooner or later. A daughter who got married was like spilled water, becoming someone else’s family. Only sons could stay by their side forever!
She was clear about the differentiation.
“Sympathize with your brother a little. You know how much he likes Lin Zhiqiu and wants to be with her. The girl finally agreed, and she doesn’t want any betrothal gifts or material things. All she wants is a job! Can’t you fulfill their wish?”
“What about me?” Su Hanyan raised her head to look at the older woman. “I’m doing well at work, yet you want me to give away my job just like that?”
Wei Guiqin assumed that her daughter was about to give in and smiled. “Look at what you’re saying; would your brother treat you badly? Didn’t he also find you a good family? The Zhou family, do you know about them? They’re quite well-to-do and only have one son. If you marry him, you’ll live a life of luxury!”
Enjoy a life luxury?
Who’re you trying to fool!
Su Hanyan was well aware of the ins and outs of this matter and even knew about everyone’s fate in the future.
She did not have the ability to predict the future. Yes, this was only because she had transmigrated into a book.
It was quite an unbelievable thing if she recounted.
A few days ago, she had drunk too much at a party and was sent back to the villa. When she woke up, she realized that she had transmigrated into a novel set in the 1980s and had become the supporting actress in the story, Su Hanyan.
After recalling the storyline of the book, she realized that there were not many descriptions of her character. However, the scarce few scenes that she had described the twists and turns and bitterness of her short life.
In the story, the person whom Su Hanyan’s third brother wanted to give his heart to was Lin Zhiqiu, the female protagonist. After graduating from high school, she did not make it into university and stayed at home to take care of her sickly father for two years.
Two years later, her father passed away. Her mother was overcome with depression and lost an arm while working at a machine factory. Because she took care of her mother, the female protagonist missed a job opportunity, which was taken over by someone else.
Her family could not survive without a source of income, so in order to live, she agreed to marry Su Jingrui, the hooligan from the alley who had pursued her for two years. The condition was that she wanted a job!
Where could she find a job these days?
Whenever there was a job, they would give the opportunity to their relatives. If they wanted to buy someone else’s job, it would cost a lot of money. Which normal family could afford to spend so much on a job?
However, Su Jingrui really liked her. Wei Guiqin doted on this third son of hers the most. She also liked this future daughter-in-law. To her, the girl’s slender waist and big bottom meant that she was good at giving birth. Her oldest son’s wife had never been able to give her a grandson, so she placed all her hopes on her third son’s fiancée.
Since Lin Zhiqiu wanted a job, someone had to give up their job for her.
Wei Guiqin then set her sights on her daughter. Of course, she was afraid that once her daughter gave up her job, it would be difficult for her to get married, so she agreed to the Zhou family’s proposal.
Su Hanyan’s miserable life began once the knot was tied. All sorts of melodramatic events took place one after another, and her husband’s domestic abuse caused her to suffer severe injuries. She pleaded to her family for help but was coldly ignored.
In the end, she died in despair!
Lin Zhiqiu ended up divorcing Su Jingrui and found her true love thereafter. Under his protection, she cooked delicacies, opened shops, and eventually became rich, reaching the pinnacle of her life.
Therefore, in the original story, Su Hanyan was merely a cannon fodder who was alive for less than twenty thousand words or ten chapters. She was even the most tragic cannon fodder in the entire book!
After she transmigrated into the book, she thought to herself,
What kind of joke is this?
She was the apple of her parents’ eyes at home and the treasure of her grandparents—a delicate and priceless existence to her family.
Which day was she not doted on?
Now, not only was she stuck in someone else’s life, it was such a tragic life, too! How could this be?
It was her life, so she would be the one calling the shots!
Wei Guiqin continued convincing her daughter until her mouth had run dry and her throat had become scratchy, yet this lass had actually started daydreaming, instead, and no one knew what she was thinking of.
“Are you listening to me?” She asked her daughter again.
“Yes, I heard you!” Su Hanyan put down her bowl and chopsticks, stretched her back, and pursed her lips. “I don’t want to enjoy whatever happiness you’re talking about. I prefer to earn a living with my two hands!”
When her daughter did not agree, Wei Guiqin’s face darkened. “This child, why’re you taking my good will the wrong way? As your mother, will I do anything to harm you?”
“Even so, I won’t go.” Su Hanyan stubbornly refused. “Whoever is willing can marry; I won’t do it, anyway!”
“You…” Wei Guiqin was about to snap, but she held herself back and said patiently, instead, “How about this: You give your job to Lin Zhiqiu and I’ll give you a job that’s better? Over the next few days, just rest at home and don’t do anything. Mom will take care of you! Didn’t that woolen coat at Youyi Department Store catch your eyes previously? As long as you give up your job, I’ll buy it for you! ”
Su Hanyan was amused to see Wei Guiqin treating her like a fool. She was not the original owner of this body, so she would not let others manipulate her that easily.
Her job was better than anyone else’s. She worked in the publicity department of a distribution factory. On a normal day, she would create blackboard advertisements and organize activities for her group members. Her work was neither dirty nor tiring, and her salary was not low, either. How many people were eyeing her job?
If she let it go, she would lose her only source of income!
Moreover, to be matched with such an unreliable family, how would she survive if she did not have her own money?
“Since that’s the case, why don’t you give the ‘better’ job to your future daughter-in-law?!” She smiled and then pushed the bowl and chopsticks to the older woman. “Mom, I’m tired. I’ll retire to my room first.”
Su Jingrui, who had been peeking in from outside the house, could not hold it in anymore and pushed open the door roughly.
The huge motion caused the snow on the roof to fall, and the red plum blossoms underneath became covered by a layer of white snow.
Su Hanyan jumped up in shock. “Could you not be so loud? You nearly scared me to death!”
