Chapter 7
Does she not love me?
(Dao Ming Si in his room alone)
[flashback]
It has been half a year since the day when Dao Ming Si walked out the front door of the Dao Ming mansion with a definite decision that he was no longer going to let his mother control him. He wanted to be with San Cai and nothing else mattered.
Life was very hard for this Shao ye outside the Dao Ming world. He worked at a small restaurant which paid little, but he was satisfied because he was free; free to do anything he wanted, free to be with the one he loved. They had also just gotten married and returned from their short honeymoon. It was no luxerious wedding or trip, just a simple church ceremony and their honey moon was a 3 day cruise around Taiwan. This time Dao Ming Si did not buy the ship, he and San Cai was just an economy class traveller. With San Cai's job at the tourist center and Ah Si's job at the restaurant, this was all they could afford, but they were happy.
The just wed couple had no anticipation for any change in their hard lives. Even San Cai's mother and father started to accept reality and believe that being poor was their fate.
However, things were turned around 1 month later after a phone call. It was Ah Si's mother, she had called to ask Ah Si to come see her at home. Dao Ming Si was reluctant to go but his mother had emphasized that it was EXTREMELY IMORTANT and asked him to go for the sake of San Cai.

"What have you got to say to me?" Ah Si plainly asked without much patience.
"Ah Si, after not seeing mommy for almost half a year, is this all you have to say to me?" Dao Ming Fu ren in her usual serious manner. (author's note: it just made me sick in mg2 when that women kept calling herself mommy)
Dao Ming Si: "You've been away for longer before when I was a child, I only saw you once a year or so. Over the years I have trained myself to not notice your absence."
Mrs. Dao Ming was a bit annoyed at the reply. "Well mommy and daddy had to work and make money for you, if it wasn't for us who..."
Mrs. Dao Ming didn't get to finish. "If you have nothing that important, I am going to leave."
"No wait, I called for you to come for a reason. I want you to come back and take care of the Dao Ming business."
"Never!" He turned his back and was about to leave.
"Wait, do it for San Cai's sake."
His wife's name stopped him and Mrs. Dao ming continued. "I know you have grown up a lot in these past months and have learned to survive by living a peasant life. But I really want you to consider this: Do you want SAn Cai to be "xin fu" ?" (ok, come upon another word that strawberry can't seem to find the right translation for, nyone help??)
"She is very xin fu."
"You think so? Working 10 hours a day and making only enough to feed your tummy is xin fu? You are her husband, don't you want to take better care of her?"
A picture of San Cai tired and out of energy flashed by Ah Si's mind. Yes, she was right, San Cai was not xin fu.
"Ah Si, I know you love your wife and mommy loves you too, so let me take better care of both of you. Come back to mommy , I promise I won't break you and San Cai up ever again as long as you stay in the Dao Ming company. If you come back, you would have everything you've had before and San Cai can have things that she never had before. Come back my child."
[end of flashback]
"Come back my child..." the words still echoed in Ah Si's mind. 5 years ago he had given up his freedom in exchange for her xin fu. 5 years later, he sat alone in his bedroom questioning himself "was it worth it?"
Dao Ming Si's POV (point of view):
I had given up everything including myself to the control of my mother all over again only becasue of her. Why does she not cherish my love ? Why did she just leave without saying good-bye. Does she not love me?
