Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 1841: Good News
The complex emotions she felt, just thinking about whether or not to call her mom and tell her the truth, put Xie Wanying through an unprecedented torment.
Tell her mom? The matter had passed for a long time, it’s impossible to pursue it, just like Aunt Min hesitated, fearing to sprinkle a big pile of salt on her mom’s wounds, making it harder for her heart to heal.
If she doesn’t say anything, wouldn’t it deprive her mom of the right to know the truth? Perhaps her mom always blamed only herself for not doing well in the exams back then, which led to her inability to continue her studies.
After lunch, Xie Wanying thought for a moment and decided to make a call home.
It was her brother who answered the phone.
"Sis, are you looking for mom?" Xie Tianyou, bouncing on the other end upon receiving his sister’s call, told his sister, "Mom said, if you can’t come back for work during this year’s Spring Festival, she’ll take me to the Capital to see you. Because Sister Li Xuan said she’s moving to a new house and wants to invite us to visit."
Hearing this from her brother, Xie Wanying suddenly remembered the text message her childhood friend had sent before, saying that the two of them had settled the loan for a new house with the help of Senior Cao. She hadn’t had time to tell her family about buying a house. Wu Lixuan knew she didn’t want her family to know too early, so she might be planning to invite her mom to the Capital during the Spring Festival to handle this matter.
"Sis, is the Capital really cold? Sister Li Xuan said she’s almost freezing to death up north, and several times wanted to give up and come back to work in our hometown." Xie Tianyou said, "But mom said, she probably won’t come back, thinking she might marry up north."
Her childhood friend had told her mom about having a boyfriend, essentially admitting to her mom that she has feelings for Doctor Yin and might consider marriage. No wonder she’s her mom’s most beloved goddaughter, always telling her mom any matters in her heart rather than her. Xie Wanying smiled as she listened to the information her brother leaked.
"Dad said, marrying up north isn’t good, he said Sister Li Xuan would regret it sooner or later." Xie Tianyou made no effort to keep anything from his distant sister, reporting all family matters, "Dad said men from the north aren’t as good as those from our hometown. Men from our hometown are reliable. He said you must come back and marry someone from our hometown."
She understood her dad’s thinking. A son can leave home to start a business, but a daughter can’t marry far away. If a daughter marries far away, how can she take care of her family? Eventually, they’ll rely on the daughter to take care of aging parents. After all, a daughter-in-law isn’t reliable, and it’s too difficult to ask a son-in-law for money. It must be the son providing money and the daughter making the effort to support her dad.
"Mom argued with dad, saying we could marry any partner we wanted. Dad wasn’t happy after hearing this and moved his stuff to grandpa and grandma’s place for a few days. Mom is chatting next door now. Aunt Wang next door said she knows someone working in the Capital, and said she wants to introduce someone to you. Mom went over to ask about it for you. By the way, sis, do you have a boyfriend? Even Sister Li Xuan has one now."
What was her brother trying to do with his words?
Xie Tianyou revealed his little thoughts: "People say, having a brother-in-law will spoil me, give me money to spend, and maybe would help me with my studies to please you when he’s trying to chase you."
"You have to rely on yourself for studying; when it’s time for exams, you’re the one who takes them, not someone else." Xie Wanying told her brother to stop fantasizing about pies falling from the sky.
Holding the phone, Xie Tianyou rolled on the sofa at home, his mischievous nature unchanged, saying, "Sis, can’t I even dream a little? Last time Sister Li Xuan came to our house, she brought something over, saying it was from her boyfriend for me."
