Chapter 383 Turns out to be a love brain
The story of Li Wenwu and Shao Dongyi is a bit old-fashioned. They met ten years ago. They were alumni, and the former was two years older than the latter.
At that time, Li Wenwu had not yet traveled around the world like he does now. After graduating from university, he chose to stay in Shanghai and start a business with his friends, and his career was quite successful.
During a speech he gave as an outstanding graduate at school, he met Shao Dongyi, who was a senior in college and looking for an internship.
He admired Shao Dongyi's abilities and her positive temperament, so he recruited her back to work in the company, and the two became a superior-subordinate relationship.
Apart from work, they seldom have any contact or interaction with each other. In his mind, she is a capable, reliable and good-looking employee, that's all, but it's more than that.
He would often unconsciously set his eyes on Shao Dongyi, paying attention to her. Seeing that she only had one thin cotton coat in the middle of winter, he would buy her a cotton coat in the name of employee benefits. He would also organize company dinners when he saw that she often only ate instant noodles and cheap fast food.
But Li Wenwu couldn't understand. The salary he offered was not low. As a leader with a very humane management style, Shao Dongyi's salary was over ten thousand yuan per month. Although the consumption in big cities was high, it shouldn't be that poor.
Later he found out that although Shao Dongyi earned over ten thousand yuan a month, she had a family that kept pulling her into the abyss.
Shao Dongyi came from the countryside like him, but was different from him. Although his family lived in the countryside, their conditions were not bad.
Shao Dongyi was born in a remote and poor rural area in Yunnan, in a family that highly favors boys over girls. He has three older sisters and one younger brother.
Her three older sisters only went to primary school and then stayed at home to help with housework. When they reached the right age, they went to work in factories to support the family. Then they found a good family to marry into in exchange for a considerable dowry, which they saved for their younger brother to buy a house and get married.
According to her parents' way of education, she should have become a supporting machine for her younger brother like her older sisters.
But she was a good student and struggled to find a different path for herself. After graduating from primary school, she successfully went to junior high school in the county with her perfect grades and the help of her teachers and village cadres.
During the three years of junior high school, I was the top student in every semester. Not only did I study for free, but I also received some scholarships from my family. When I was promoted to high school, I was the top student in the county.
Relying on excellent grades and the free high school policy, he got the opportunity to attend high school in the city. He always ranked first in the class for three years of high school. He was the top scorer in the local city in the college entrance examination and was admitted to his ideal university.
I earned my tuition and living expenses for four years of college by working part-time. I was tenacious and achieved excellent results, and even found a good job.
Everything was going in the right direction, but things didn't always go as planned.
Her younger brother became a good-for-nothing due to his parents' indulgence. He did nothing but eat, drink and have fun all day. Shao Dongyi's parents started asking her for money when she was in college.
Knowing that her parents did not love her and not wanting to be Voldemort, Shao Dongyi was unwilling to give money to her parents, and as a student she had no money either.
The emperor was far away and they couldn't do anything to her for the time being, so they had to ask her three sisters who had already been successfully disciplined for money.
Among her three sisters, only the third sister married into a good family, but her in-laws were very powerful, so even if the third sister wanted to help, she was powerless.
The other two sisters married into ordinary families, and they lived a very tight life. They were often exploited by their parents' family. Over time, conflicts gradually increased.
When Shao Dongyi was a junior in college, his parents took his younger brother to his eldest sister's house to ask for money. They happened to run into his sister-in-law and her family who had come home to borrow money from his brother. The two families started arguing over money.
Shao Dongyi's younger brother accidentally killed his sister-in-law's man in the chaos, was sentenced to life imprisonment, and was also burdened with hundreds of thousands of debts.
Her parents could not accept the blow for a while. Her father suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and was hospitalized. After being rescued, he was paralyzed in bed and unable to take care of himself. Her mother also became mentally unstable and crazy.
Because of this incident, my eldest sister was divorced and left home with nothing. She returned to her hometown with her two young daughters to take care of her parents.
The whole family had no income and was in huge debt, and the other two daughters were also helpless, so in the end the burden fell on Shao Dongyi.
She sent all the money she earned every month back home except for a little for herself to live on, and she lived a very tight life.
Living in a cheap rental house, three meals a day are either cheap fast food, instant noodles or a simple bowl of boiled noodles. I can’t bear to turn on the air conditioner in the summer, and I can’t bear to buy myself a warm coat in the winter.
When Li Wenwu learned about her tragic family background, he found it unbelievable.
How could someone still be optimistic, cheerful and positive after going through so much? For this reason, he chatted with her intentionally or unintentionally about some issues about life.
He still remembers her answer. She said that whether you are happy for a day or sad for a day, you will live it too. If you are happier and more positive, your learning and work efficiency will be higher, and you will be able to learn more and earn more.
Although it was simple, he felt it made sense, but it also made him feel more distressed.
There was an abyss behind her. If she didn't stand up on her own, she would be dragged in and never be able to get out.
The more time they spent together, the more he liked her.
Just the day before he was going to confess his love to her, she was suddenly called back from her hometown. She took several days off and did not return until the end of the vacation.
Later, Li Wenwu went to her hometown to find her, but was surprised to find that she was married to a wealthy family in their village. It was said that the man was her childhood sweetheart. She also quit her job in front of him.
At the same time, in the same year, Li Wenwu's partner in starting a company betrayed him. After successive failures in love and work, he began his life of wandering the earth, running around the world in despair.
After Li Wenwu finished speaking, the yard was quiet for a long time before someone spoke.
"Since she doesn't like you, why do you still like her?" Li Kangping looked at Li Wenwu in shock.
He never expected that his uncle was such a romantic man. Even though she was married and so many years had passed, he was still thinking about her.
What a deep feeling this is!
Xiao Lin and Liang Zishu looked at Li Wenwu's face, which was full of the words "love-brained".
Li Wenwu spread his hands and said, "I also tried to get in touch with other girls, but I don't think they are as good as her."
After traveling around the world for so many years, he has come into contact with and met many outstanding women. These women are not only excellent in terms of work ability, moral character, appearance, and world outlook, but he has also met them and tried to contact them to move to the next step.
But he just didn't feel that way. They were not her. He would involuntarily compare her with them and think she was good in every way. The only bad thing about her was that she didn't like him and got married at a young age.
He wasn't even given a chance to pursue her.
Come to think of it, he's not bad. He has a car, a house, money, and he's more handsome than that guy. I don't know what she likes about that guy.
