1990: Only Die to Become His Ghost

Only Die to Become His Ghost

"If Mom really was biased toward me and didn't love you, she'd be like a stepmother. But a stepmother would've thrown you out of the house when you were young and wouldn't have arranged for you to marry a rich man. A stepmother wouldn't have asked your uncle to find you someone so successful." 1

"So successful? If he's such a great man, why isn't he being introduced to Hu Han and Hu Yin instead?"

Sze Lingyun's aunt's face turned red when she heard her bring up her two daughters. She jumped up and pointed at Sze Lingyun. "You..."

She only got one word out before her husband, Sze Lingyun's uncle, stopped her.

"I also wanted to introduce Mr. Li to Hu Han and Hu Yin, but aren't they still pretty young? And anyway, Mr. Li likes you. The most important thing is that your family is going to lose this house soon. Even though you guys have many rooms in this house, the eight rooms you guys added on won't be compensated for. If you want more compensation, you'll have to find it yourself."

Mr. Sze immediately said, "Yunyun, if you marry Mr. Li, he's promised not to take this house. And not only will he not demolish it, but he'll even give us 200,000 yuan as a betrothal gift. Do the math! When the house is demolished, your mother will have a place to herself, I'll have one, your brother will have one, and you'll have one too! And, if Mr. Li marries you, he can have one too. If you can have a child immediately after getting marrying, then your fetus can have one too! Even if you can't conceive a child so quickly, our family will still have five houses between us. This is Sea District. Even though we're in the suburbs, houses are worth at least a million nowadays. With five houses, your brother will definitely be able to find a wife in the future. When girls hear that your brother has five houses in Sea District, they'll drop everything to join this family. Yunyun, even if you don't want this for yourself, think about your brother!"

"Enough!" Sze Lingyun could not take it anymore.

"Brother, Brother, Brother!!! Everything is about Brother! To you guys, I was only born to be Brother's slave, and later, I'll only die to become his ghost. Everything is always about him? Why, why, why?!" 

"Because you're my daughter, and daughters are born to serve the men in their family!"

Sze Lingyun sneered. She was disappointed in her family and said coldly, "I won't do it any longer! I have a boyfriend, and I love him! You can't tear me apart from him! If you want your children to marry off and get you houses, make my brother marry someone. If he gets married, won't he get a house? Why do you have to force me to sacrifice my happiness?"

"Sze Lingyun, do you want to lose face?" Sze Junyan was angry now too. He asked sternly, "What do you mean, sacrifice your happiness? I found you such a good man, and you're saying that marrying him will be a sacrifice? Is that a sacrifice to you? Why don't you just die?"

"Sister Yunyun, you really don't know how blessed you are. If you're so filthy rich, why are you still studying?" Hu Han asked angrily.

Hu Han's younger sister, Hu Yin, was also full of disdain. "Anyone with a brain would choose an easy way to improve their lives by leaps and bounds. Camino has no shortage of fish in the sea, and there's especially no shortage of good-looking women. Even if you go to university and find a job afterward, how much money will you be able to earn in a month? If you marry Mr. Li, you'll be able to live a life that university can never get you. What's there to complain about?"
