Yu Shaohan looked at her daughter’s defiance! It truly infuriated her how this good cadre’s child insisted on degrading herself to pursue a Bai Song, without understanding why. Not only did she cause a scene in her office today, but she practically rebelled against the heavens.
"Yan Chunlu, I’m warning you, mind your attitude. Is this how you talk to your mother? Look at yourself now, ready to give up everything to move to that godforsaken place for a man. Do you understand how dangerous the border conflicts there are? Frequent battles pose a real risk. Do you think you could protect yourself or what?" Viewing Yan Chunlu’s stubbornness, Yu Shaohan felt her stomach churn with anger.
Yan Chunlu sulked, "Mom, I’ve made up my mind already. I’ve even submitted a request to the higher-ups, asking to be transferred to the front to support them. The Health Team there is short-staffed." No matter what her mother said or did to stop her, she was determined to leave.
"Your father and I went through so much trouble to get you transferred from the cold province to be with us. Why do you think we did that? We only want our daughter by our side, hoping to see you live a happy life.
We don’t know what kind of spell that man has cast on you. Your aunt was just like this, willing to break ties with the family over a man, but what happened to her in the end? She died alone and miserable in that village while that man went back to the city to enjoy his life. He got married, had children, and lived much better than she did.
Why are you acting just like your aunt now?"
Whenever Yu Shaoya talked about her sister, Yu Shaohan was filled with resentment. Her sister was such a talented and beautiful individual filled with warmth and intelligence. None of their children ever lacked in education, yet such an exemplary person met such a tragic end.
The anger would flare in her heart every time she thought about it.
This was the consequence of misjudging people.
As for her own daughter, even if it killed her, she wouldn’t allow her to risk her life in a war-torn place over a man.
"Mom, you don’t understand matters of the heart. He’s different from others, not the irresponsible type. To be clear, he didn’t sweet-talk me; it’s me who likes him. No matter what, I need to be with him." Yan Chunlu huffed.
Conveying her steadfast determination.
Yu Shaohan was driven to the brink of madness.
This daughter of hers seemed to have been born as a creditor. How obedient and gentle she was as a child, yet how did she become so wayward as she grew? She disregarded everything her parents said, opposing all the good things they considered for her.
Was this what they called the rebellion of a belated adolescence?
"If you dare actually get transferred there, I’m telling you, your mother will die just to show you. If you wish to go, you’ll have to step over my dead body to leave." For the first time, Yu Shaohan felt she had lost all patience. Whatever dignity she had vanished, and she could only confront her daughter with the attitude of a shrew.
Yan Chunlu stamped her foot in frustration.
"Mom, you can stop me for a day, two days, a month, two months, but can you stop me for a lifetime? If you won’t let me go, then bury my corpse instead." In a huff, she returned to her room, slamming the door shut behind her.
