Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

"The girl I was with before, her father was using me and I indirectly used him. She and I can never be together."

"A teacher's daughter is a hundred times better than a breakfast shop daughter from the village. You are completely harming yourself by making such a choice."

"Why are you looking for someone worse and worse, brother? You have to find someone better to repay us for all the hard work we put in to train you."

"If you hire a secretary, you'll just give yourself up to criticism. How will others view you? How will the people in the village view us?"

"Yes, if you do this, are you worthy of your parents and us?"

Listening to the increasingly outrageous words of the Yang family, Cheng Cheng could no longer sit still.

"How did he let you down?! He let you down by looking for me?! What kind of perverse logic is this? I am the daughter of a breakfast shop owner and Yang Guozhong's secretary, but I don't think I am shameful. I am completely worthy of him."

Yang Guozhong's face couldn't help but look ugly, and he couldn't help but speak angrily: "Yes, she is very good, and her goodness makes me feel unworthy of her. I am the one who feels unworthy of her. I prepared her mentally before coming here, but I didn't expect that what you said here would make me feel so strange and ashamed."

"Since I was little, you have always told me that I am the only hope of the family. If I cannot leave the mountain village, I will let you down. I have been studying hard with this guilt, but when I left this world and went to a bigger world, I realized that what you said to me before made me the most sinful person in the family. My parents' expectations of me were purely for face. My sisters dropped out of school early and married the wrong people, and then they imposed all the consequences on me. You all think that you paid such a high price to cultivate me, but I have never asked you to do anything for me."

"To put it bluntly, I am just an investment of yours. I cannot have a say, but I must succeed to be worthy of all of you. So do you think this is love for me? Is it me who caused your current situation?"

"Sisters, did I force you to marry someone? Did I trade your marriage for something? Why do you blame me for your bad life?"

"Dad and Mom, this family has become what it is because of your education. It's because you favor boys over girls and want your son to succeed that my sisters have become like this and I have become like this. This is why I don't want to come back. This family makes me feel suffocated. Every step I take back here, I can think of how I stayed up all night studying in my room with a guilty heart. I have done my best to be where I am today, and I have lived up to all of you. So please don't stop me from being with whoever I want to be with. I will never be your puppet for the rest of my life."

"Guozhong!!! How could you talk to your parents like that? Apologize now! Say you were confused."

"You have failed us in our training. Is it easy for us as a family to betray you?"

"You are unworthy of our hard work!!"

"The people you feel most sorry for are your parents!!!"

"I won't apologize, I'm telling the truth."

"Unfilial son, get out of here!"

Yang Guozhong nodded and took Chengcheng to the small room next door.

The room is not big, only enough space for a desk and a single bed.

Yang Guozhong walked into the house and introduced to Chengcheng that this was the place where he had the most freedom and the most oppressive feeling when he was a child.

Because the Yang family was small, his sisters had to squeeze into the kitchen when he was a child. His room was the largest room where his parents lived, and it was considered extra care from the whole family.

This room is filled with school supplies. When he was young, his sisters would always come back and tell him what they had learned in school. Later, when he was older and his sisters dropped out of school and he was the only one left in the family to go to school, his parents would restrict him from entering and leaving the room and even prepare a spittoon in the room.

Except for eating and sleeping time, he spends the rest of the time in a small room with no playmates and only studying.

Every time I did not do well on an exam or my grades dropped, I would receive words of condemnation from my family.

This is also why he was eager to give back to his family after graduating from college. He just didn't want to live like this anymore.

He has sent a lot of money back home over the years, which can be considered as repaying part of his family's efforts.

……

In the evening, the Yang family wanted to ease the tension, and they had dinner in harmony.

When everyone was cleaning up their dishes, Yang's mother once again turned her anger towards Chengcheng.

She secretly thought that her son had changed so much this time because of this woman. Otherwise, why would his son, who used to be well-behaved and obedient, become so rebellious now?

"Hina Ai, right? You can see that there are not many small rooms in the house. Why don't you go to his sister's house and sleep there?"

When Yang Guozhong heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

If she lets her boyfriend live with her sister, how will her brother-in-law and his family view her?

My brother-in-law's house is not big, so it's very inconvenient for us to live together.

"No need, mother. Yingai can just sleep in my room."

"Where do you sleep then?"

"I'm going to sleep in the car."

"No! Why are you sleeping in the car instead of in the nice room?"

"Anyway, I won't let Ying'ai live at my sister's house. How can I feel at ease letting a girl like Ying'ai go to a completely unfamiliar place? What do you think my brother-in-law and his family will think?"

"You can think whatever you want, but my son will never let you sleep in the car."

"Then I won't sleep, okay? I'll stand guard at the door tonight and see who dares to take Ying'ai away."

"Why are you so unruly?!"

In the end, Yang's mother's plan did not succeed. After settling Liu Ying'ai, Yang Guozhong returned to the car and took a nap.

The next day, Chengcheng had just woken up and went out to wash up when Yang's father came over and talked about what happened yesterday and wanted to set some rules for her.

"You just came back yesterday, so we haven't had time to establish some rules. People who are getting married here have to serve their future parents-in-law. These are your work arrangements for today, take a good look at them yourself."

"I don't accept what you said. I haven't even married into your family yet. Why do you want me to do chores the second day after I arrived? My parents wouldn't even ask me to do chores at home."

"This is a rule passed down by our ancestors. Every household in the village follows this rule. I have never heard of a family that has not done this before. Even Guozhong's sisters have done this before."

"I won't do it. I'm not from your side, so there's no need for me to follow your side. Besides, we won't live here after we get married, so there's no point in me doing this."
