My name is Zhang Xiaoman, I am 27 years old, and I am the only daughter in my family. Both parents are ordinary office workers, diligent and simple. Since childhood, he has been pampered by his parents, and has developed some willful little problems. The personality is probably optimistic and cheerful, enthusiastic and lively, but sometimes it can be a little willful and stubborn. Although she is not a big beauty, her appearance is okay, her facial features are correct, and her figure is well maintained.
"Xiaoman, you're so old, you should consider finding someone to marry, right?" Mother used to say this. I knew in my heart that my parents really wanted me to get married as soon as possible, and let them go when they were young.
"Mom, don't worry about it when you're old. "Every time my mother mentions blind dates, I come to such a perfunctory sentence. In fact, to be honest, I still have a lot of resistance to blind dates.
First, I work as a designer in an advertising agency, and my career is developing well, and I am quite content with my current single life. Second, I always have a strangeness and wariness of those who meet through blind dates, for fear that the other party has some hidden dark side.
"Hey, that's what you young people think?" My mother always sighed and said, "Look at your classmates and colleagues, they are all married." If you don't arrange this matter, you will have to gossip. "
I know that my mother's words are not unreasonable. But for me, getting married is really a big thing that needs to be thought twice. If you go on a blind date rashly, you may meet an inappropriate partner, which is too risky.
"Okay Mom, don't talk about it all the time. When I meet someone who is eye-to-eye, I will naturally take the initiative to go on a blind date. "Everywhere I do, I always do it perfunctorily.
My mother's brow furrowed and twisted, and she seemed to be quite critical of my answer. She tapped her fingers lightly on the tabletop, her expression full of anxiety and unease. I could feel my mother's eagerness for my marriage, but I just couldn't take it seriously, and I still had a casual attitude towards the blind date.
Just when I was perfunctory about the blind date, my mother introduced me to a blind date. That night, a strange man showed up at our house.
"Xiaoman, this is Wang Fei's classmate, a child of your cousin's family, 32 years old this year, working as a sales manager in a pharmaceutical company, and the conditions are quite good. My mother introduced me.
I looked at the man in front of me: tall, well-dressed, well-behaved. Judging from the appearance alone, it is indeed a very good blind date.
"Hello, I'm Wang Fei. Nice to meet you. He took the initiative to reach out his hand and spoke in a loud and powerful voice.
"Well, hello. I shook it back awkwardly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
After the pleasantries, we sat down and chatted. Wang Fei told his family background, education, career and other aspects, and seemed very confident and proud.
"Xiaoman, I am a person who attaches great importance to material conditions. Just when I secretly admired him, he suddenly said this, "So I also have a very clear request for you." "
"What requirements?" I asked, puzzled.
"I now have a property of 1.5 million yuan, if you are willing to marry me, I will transfer half of the property to you. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't talk about it. "
"What?" I was stunned by his words, and my mind was a little confused, "You mean, if I don't agree to your conditions, you don't want to be with me?"
"That's right. He said very confidently, "I have a successful career now and my family is also good." So I need a wife who is materially strong so that we can fulfill each other. Otherwise, you and I will only be a temporary partnership, and it will be difficult to last long. "
I was speechless, I never thought I would hear such a feeless asking price on a blind date. My head was buzzing, and I was at a loss for a moment.
"This classmate Wang Fei, it's a bit too much for you to say this, right?" Seeing that I was stunned, my mother hurriedly said, "Although Xiaoman is just an ordinary employee, his character is very good. "
"Auntie, I don't have any criticism of Xiao Man's character. Wang Fei smiled, very confident, "I just said my requirements for marriage." "
I have never seen such an outrageous person, and I never imagined that marriage would be endowed with such a cold and impersonal connotation. My mind was in a state of confusion, and I couldn't organize words to respond to his "reasonable" request.
I looked at Wang Fei dumbfounded, but he seemed very calm, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Looking at his disapproving expression, my heart was suddenly filled with a strong disgust and disgust.
I clenched my fists tightly and stared at him with anger and reluctance in my eyes. At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind: no matter what, I can't agree to this person's unreasonable demands, otherwise I will be bound by his strange values, and my future life will be useless!
Wang Fei's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting me hard. My heart almost collapsed at that moment, and I felt immensely angry and disgusted by this man's behavior. However, when I saw my mother's anxious and worried expression, I couldn't help but calm down.
After leaving Wang Fei's house, his mother didn't talk much along the way, and her face was full of disappointment and regret. I could feel how much she attached importance to this blind date, and I could understand how much she cared about my marriage.
"Mom, I'm sorry, this blind date really disappointed you. "When I got home, I apologized.
"Nothing, it's not your fault. The mother sighed, her tone full of helplessness, "That Wang Fei is too ungraceful, how can he make such unreasonable demands on you?"
"But Mom, you see, he is indeed in good condition, and his family background is not bad. As I spoke, I began to weigh the pros and cons in my heart, "If I agree to his request, I may be able to live a better life in the future." "
"How can this be?" The mother rebuked, "Marriage is the union of two people who truly love each other, how can it be tarnished by such a thing as money? "
I was silent. Mother is right that the essence of marriage is that two people love each other, and should not be swayed by material factors such as money. However, living in this real society, money is indeed an important factor that cannot be ignored.
"However, if I agree to his request, I may be able to live a more decent life in the future. "After all, with that half of the property, we're going to have a stronger economic foundation." "
"But are you willing to be toyed with by him like this?" The mother was anxious, "You have agreed to his request, and you will have to be at his mercy in the future! There is no sincere affection between you at all, how can such a marriage be happy?"
I was deeply contemplative and entangled. As a modern woman who loves freedom, should I bravely refuse Wang Fei's unreasonable demands and maintain my dignity? Or should I swallow my anger for the time being and agree to it for the sake of a better material life? My heart was in the midst of contradictions and struggles, and it was difficult to make up my mind for a while.
"Wang Fei, I will give you an answer to the condition you put forward before. "
"Oh, did you agree or refuse?" There was a hint of confidence in his tone.
"I refuse. I took a deep breath and said in a firm and powerful tone, "I can't agree to your conditions. Marriage is a union of two people who love each other, not an exchange of interests. If we lack genuine affection for each other, our future life will only be extremely painful. "
"Oh? Wang Fei's tone was a little disappointed, "But Xiaoman, you have to know that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared." If you reject me, you may regret it in the future. "
"I understand. I said, "But I value my dignity and happiness more." If I can't even do the most basic love, I'd rather wait for someone better. "
"Well, if that's your decision, then I don't have anything more to say. He said in a light tone, "However, I hope you don't regret it in the future." "
"Rest assured, I will take responsibility for my decision. I said firmly, "Thank you, and I wish you the right fit." "
In this way, I rejected Wang Fei's unreasonable request, although I still had some regret and unwillingness in my heart, but it was more relief and relief. When my mother learned of my decision, she was also sincerely happy and proud of me.
"Mom, you're right. I said to my mother, "The foundation of marriage is love, and if you can't do that, you will only live a miserable life in the future." I'd rather be wronged now than regret it in the future. "
"Yes, you made the right choice. Mother nodded, looking extremely pleased, "I believe that there will be better candidates in the future." "
I looked at my mother deeply, and my heart was full of hope for the future. Maybe I'm still single for the time being, but I believe that as long as I'm patient enough, one day I will meet the one I like, marry him, and work together to create a happy life.
