Chapter 93: A Bad Decision - Daily Life in the Compound with the Sick Sister-in-Law

After listening, Lin Qing had only one thought: Wang Jiaojiao's partner is a huge trap, and her good friend was the naive girl foolishly jumping into it herself!

"Jiaojiao, have you ever thought about this? If you let your boyfriend take this job, are you sure he'll use his salary for your future family after you're married?"

Wang Jiaojiao looked at her, confused, not fully understanding what she meant.

Lin Qing continued, "Look here, his family only has his father earning money. If you let your boyfriend take this job, his family definitely won't let go of this income source.

And from what you've told me about his family situation, their living space is quite cramped. If you insist on marrying him, you'll have to cram in with them."

Wang Jiaojiao quickly objected, "No, no, if we get married, we'll definitely move out. The factory will definitely give us a place to live."

Lin Qing gave her a sideways glance: Are you really so sure?

Wang Jiaojiao's eyes darted away: "...I..." Of course, I'm sure. My dad is the factory director!

But she ultimately didn't say it out loud.

Lin Qing didn't mean to pressure her further and continued, "Even if you get a house, so what? Even if you move out, he'll still have to give money to his family. With him just starting work in the factory, his salary will definitely be low. What will you do then?"

"I..." Wang Jiaojiao wanted to refute, but Qing Qing's words made sense!

"The most important thing is, all of this is based on the assumption that the two of you will definitely get married. What if he takes this job and still doesn't marry you?"

"No, no..." Wang Jiaojiao's face went white.

"You need to understand that without marriage, anything is possible!"

"But... but..." She wanted to say he was a good person, he...

"And his family is a trap. Marrying him would be like engaging in poverty alleviation. You have to admit, don't you think?

Only his father works in his family, and there are a few younger siblings. He's the eldest son, so won't he have to support his two younger brothers?"

Wang Jiaojiao desperately wanted to deny it, but she remembered something her boyfriend had told her before.

"Jiaojiao, I know your father doesn't approve of us being together. Maybe we should break up. You know! My father is the only one working in my family, and there are two underage brothers, so..."

At this point, Wang Jiaojiao couldn't deny that everything Lin Qing said was true.

"I admit that if your boyfriend didn't have to support his family, with just his salary, the two of you could live a good life. But he's the eldest son. There's no way his parents won't ask him to support them.

If he has to support his family, then every month you'll have to give one-third or even half of your salary to his family. With the remaining salary, do you think you can live a good life?

Maybe every month you won't even be able to afford meat, you won't dare to buy clothes, or even good rice because you simply can't afford them."

Lin Qing asked Wang Jiaojiao word by word, "So, are you prepared to endure a hard life with your boyfriend?"

"I..." Wang Jiaojiao stood there stunned. She wanted to say she could, but deep down she knew she couldn't bear that kind of life.

Lin Qing had laid out every point clearly, hoping her best friend would see the truth and not make a decision she would regret.

"Qingqing, wuwuwu..." In the end, Wang Jiaojiao just hugged Lin Qing and cried.

She felt so much pain.

She didn't want to live the hard life Lin Qing described, but she really couldn't let go of her boyfriend.

"But... but... um... I really like him!" Wang Jiaojiao said while crying.

"Jiaojiao, you need to understand that if your boyfriend really liked you a lot, he wouldn't always hide behind you and make you deal with everything!" Lin Qing continued to add salt to the wound.

"Boohooing," Wang Jiaojiao continued crying.

"Has he ever deceived you, trying to take the relationship further?" Lin Qing suddenly thought of a very important question and pulled Wang Jiaojiao out of her embrace, asking her seriously.

"Hiccup, hiccup." Wang Jiaojiao was crying so hard that she started hiccuping.

"Qingqing, what do you mean by that?" Wang Jiaojiao asked with a nasally voice.

"Did he ever hint at wanting to take the next step with you?" Lin Qing felt a bit embarrassed bringing this up, but the question was really important, so she asked it anyway.

Wang Jiaojiao's face turned red and she said softly, "He... he um, did mention it."

Lin Qing's expression turned serious immediately. "Did you agree?"

Fortunately, Wang Jiaojiao shook her head and said with a red face, "No, my mom told me not to agree to anything before marriage!"

"That's good, that's good!" Lin Qing sighed in relief, glad that it hadn't gone to the worst-case scenario.

"Jiaojiao, haven't you noticed? Your boyfriend has always been hiding behind you, letting you take the lead in everything.

Your dad doesn't approve of your relationship, so he made you argue with him; he wants to make things official with you, and then he pushed you into dealing with it. If the marriage happens, your parents would be forced to accept it; he doesn't have a job, and he pushed you into getting him a job... What exactly has he contributed to this relationship?" Lin Qing continued to analyze.

"He..." Wang Jiaojiao wanted to defend her boyfriend, but everything Lin Qing said was true, and she gradually started recalling what her boyfriend had actually contributed to this relationship.

Time spent chatting?

The meals he specially made for her, right?

The more Wang Jiaojiao thought, the paler she became. Since they met, in the three months they had been together, aside from the two meals he made for her, he hadn't given her anything else!

At this point, Wang Jiaojiao was starting to doubt everything.

She wanted to call it true love, but the thought of starving in the future because of it made her unable to say those two words.

Lin Qing felt sad for her good friend. Her boyfriend wasn't someone who brought peace of mind. It was clear he knew about her good family background and deliberately latched onto her.

"Jiaojiao, you can't judge a book by its cover. Are you really sure your boyfriend is who you think he is?"

Wang Jiaojiao looked up suddenly, staring blankly at Lin Qing. Could it be that all his gentleness and thoughtfulness were just an act?

"How about we test him?" Lin Qing thought they could secretly investigate a little, and maybe they would find some unexpected results.

"How... how do we test him?" Wang Jiaojiao didn't understand.
