He Yuehua entered the bar and quickly found the drunken owner.
She remained silent for a moment before walking over.
Dr. Lin was slumped over the table, muttering to himself, "Drink, drink."
The bartenders saw He Yuehua, came over, and said to her, "You must be Miss He. This gentleman is drunk. He wrote down your phone number for us when he came in."
"He told us that if he got drunk, we should call you and ask you to come and pick him up."
He Yuehua nodded and asked, "How much did he spend in total? Let me pay the bill for him first."
The bartenders took her to pay the bill.
After paying the bill, He Yuehua walked over to Dr. Lin, looked at his drunken state, sighed, and resignedly bent down to take one of his hands and put it on her shoulder.
Then I helped him up with great effort.
This time, Dr. Lin was so drunk that he didn't have the strength to stand up on his own. He Yuehua couldn't help him up immediately, so she had to ask the bar staff for help.
Only then did they help him up.
"Thank you."
"Do you need me to help him out?"
He Yuehua remembered that there were more than a dozen steps at the entrance of the bar. Last time, she couldn't walk down those steps while supporting Dr. Lin, and she had to drag him down.
He nodded and asked the bar staff to help the drunken Dr. Lin out of the bar.
With the help of the people at the bar, Dr. Fulin got into his car.
"Thank you."
He Yuehua expressed her gratitude.
"No need to be polite. Mr. Lin is a customer of our bar, but he always comes here drunk."
"Are you Mr. Lin's girlfriend or wife? After he wakes up, try to persuade and comfort him. No matter what happened or how much pressure he's under, he shouldn't always drown his sorrows in alcohol."
"Thank you. I'll talk to him when he wakes up; he's just under too much pressure."
He Yuehua did not mention that Dr. Lin was drunk because of heartbreak.
The bar staff had to go back to work. After giving them a few polite words of advice, they went back inside the bar.
He Yuehua got into the car, turned her head to look at Dr. Lin who was placed in the back seat, sighed, and said, "No matter how reluctant you are, Dr. Zeng doesn't like you. Besides, your parents are becoming more and more dissatisfied with Dr. Zeng."
Especially after learning that Dr. Zeng had a young master from the Zhan family by her side, Lin's mother always spoke ill of Dr. Zeng, out of jealousy that Dr. Zeng was lucky to be liked by the young master from the Zhan family.
She was jealous that Dr. Zeng might marry into a wealthy family in the future.
He Yuehua was actually jealous, jealous that Dr. Zeng not only won the favor of the rich young master, but was also unforgettable to Dr. Lin.
She has waited for many years and given so much, but she still hasn't received a definite answer from Dr. Lin.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Lin treated her as their daughter-in-law, the person who was to marry her was Dr. Lin, and Dr. Lin had not yet given her a definite answer, so she might not be able to marry him.
Her mother called her again, urging her to go back for blind dates, saying that the matchmaker had introduced her to several men with good incomes, including a doctor working at a small hospital.
He Yuehua knew that her mother was urging her to go on blind dates for two reasons: firstly, she was already on the verge of becoming an "older single woman," and secondly, her mother hoped that she would receive a dowry when she got married. However, no matter how much the dowry was, her parents probably wouldn't give it to her to take back to her husband's family.
He Yuehua didn't dare to hope for a dowry. It would be good enough if her mother was willing to give her half to take back to her husband's family. She had also secretly saved some money on her own, not much, but still a few tens of thousands.
If her mother were willing to give her half of the dowry to take with her, she would have at least 100,000 yuan in her hands.
This amount of money may not be much for wealthy people, but for someone like her who goes to work and whose parents require her to hand over her salary to them, having 100,000 yuan is a lot.
He Yuehua wouldn't argue with her parents. She would just consider the dowry as the last money she would give back to them to repay their kindness. She had told her parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law that once she got married and had her own family, she would no longer give her salary back home.
The same applies to their village. No matter how filial a daughter is before marriage, and how much money she earns goes back home, once she gets married and has her own family, she will no longer give her earnings back home.
I only give my parents a little money during holidays and festivals, and how much I give depends on my ability. My parents don't ask how much I give.
He Yuehua was also eager to get married. Once she was married, she could manage her own salary and wouldn't have to send it home to her parents anymore, since they weren't spending the money on her brothers.
She admitted that her parents favored her brother more. There was nothing she could do about it; in her hometown, family property always went to the sons, and it was the sons' responsibility to support their parents in old age. Daughters didn't need to support their parents in old age, and if their parents got sick, it was the sons' responsibility to pay for their medical treatment and hospitalization.
The daughter can give as much as she wants, and no one will say anything. After all, the family property has been given to the son, so the son must take responsibility for his parents' old age and funeral arrangements.
He Yuehua admired Dr. Zeng, but also knew that she could not compare to him.
Dr. Zeng's family background is much better than hers. Dr. Zeng's parents are not biased. They bought houses for both Dr. Zeng's brother and Dr. Zeng herself, and both were paid for in full.
Her parents wouldn't even allow her to buy a house, let alone save up to buy one herself. They said she'd get married eventually, and her husband's family would have a house to live in, so she wouldn't need to buy one.
Unlike other parents, they won't buy their daughter a house in advance, even a small one, as a backup plan.
Dr. Lin already owns a house. After she marries Dr. Lin, she will definitely want to buy another house when she has money and children. She will not ask to have her name added to the house that Dr. Lin owned before the marriage.
Only if a house is bought after marriage will it be considered joint property of the couple, and only then will she truly have a home of her own.
Unlike now, when she returned to her hometown, she didn't even have a room of her own. Every time she went back, she had to share a room with her mother. Even though there were empty rooms in the house, her brother and sister-in-law said that as their nephews and nieces grew up, the empty rooms had to be given to the children.
She rarely goes back to her hometown anyway, and when she does, she only stays for a few days before going back to work. She doesn't need a separate room; she can just sleep with her mother for a few days.
That home, to which she contributed so much, will no longer be her home, nor will it be her support.
She must hold on tightly to Dr. Lin, appease his parents, gain a foothold in the Lin family, and integrate into the family before she can find a home for herself.
After a long while, He Yuehua finally drove the car home, taking the drunken Dr. Lin with her.
When she returned to the Lin family home, she opened the door carefully, afraid of waking up Mr. and Mrs. Lin.
However, as soon as she opened the door and turned on the light, Lin's mother came out of the room. Seeing her struggling to support her son, Lin's mother quickly walked over to help her and help her son into the house.
She said with concern, "How did Ah Jian get so drunk? He reeks of alcohol. How much did he drink?"
