Pan Song said awkwardly, "Auntie and Uncle are sometimes a little too biased."
His mother and Lu Bo's mother were biological sisters, and the two families had always been close. He could not understand why his aunt, who always welcomed outsiders with a smile, and his uncle, who was experienced in the ways of the world, would be so cruel to his own son.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had learned to take care of other people's feelings after he became an adult and started to strike up a conversation with his cousin, he wouldn't have thought that he had an old cousin. That was because this old cousin was a man of few words and basically had no sense of existence.
"You've never treated me like a son from the beginning," Lu Bo said in a hoarse voice, "Do you still remember how hard I worked when I first started following you? You saw how hard I worked. Every penny I earned, I stupidly handed over to them. They saved it for Lu Zheng's wedding.
I was very uncomfortable, but I comforted myself. I was the eldest, and Lu Zheng was the younger brother. He had suffered so much in the countryside, so it was only right for me to take care of him.
Later on, when Lu Yin got married, it was all my money. She was the youngest sister, so I didn't have anything to say.
But, they eat my food, drink my water, and when they don't have money, they ask me for it. Although their attitude has improved a lot over the years, they don't even have a word of praise. No one has ever bought me a piece of clothing or given me a gift.
Luo Pei and I drank with a client, and our stomach was pierced through. Other than you and Pinsong, who else in the family went to the hospital?
Lu Yin did go, but she didn't go to see me. She actually wanted to treat a friend to a meal, but she didn't have money in her pocket, so she asked me for money. I was upset, so I didn't give her money, and she left in a huff.
Actually, my heart gave up then. Every time I think of them, it's a nightmare. "
Pan Song said, "If you don't want to interact with them, then don't. You're free and unfettered, like a deity. Why do you care about them?"
Lu Bo said, "Now that so many things have happened, I sometimes feel that life is a joke."
Pan Song smiled. "I'm being unreasonable. You've been doing business for so many years, what kind of storms have you not experienced? Compared to that, family and marriage were not even worth mentioning.
Actually, I should congratulate you. You've gotten rid of your wife and become a golden bachelor. Many people are envious of you. Someday, you'll find a young and beautiful woman who will serve you like a lord. "
Lu Bo said disdainfully, "How dare you say that in front of sister-in-law?"
Pan Song smiled sheepishly and said, "Heh, anyway, I'm content to have met your sister-in-law. Whether she's pretty or not, this is what life is all about.
Speaking of which, it's not that I have a lot of money, but I dare to entrust all my assets to your sister-in-law. But if it's a married couple or a woman I don't know, do you think I have the guts to do that?
Since he didn't trust me, I couldn't be bothered to play along.
Take that old b * stard Chen Youli for example. He earned at least a few hundred thousand in Russian territory. After that, he went back to his hometown and married a girl from his village. She said she was his childhood sweetheart. I've seen her before, and she looks average.
Don't look down on him just because he's rich and powerful outside, but once he's in front of his wife, she won't believe him no matter what he says. It's like a mouse meeting a cat. If his wife says go east, he'll never go west. Even a stray dog won't dare to catch a chicken.
Now that his wife has followed him here, he still hasn't dared to tell his wife that he used to be a pimp. On the surface, he runs a restaurant and his wife manages it. Now, the money he earns from running a clubhouse and KTV is also given to his wife, using the excuse that it's from border trade.
In the eyes of his fellow villagers, relatives, and friends, Chen Youli is just a capable boss who runs a restaurant and does border trade. They don't know anything else. "
Lu Bo asked curiously, "How can he hide something like this? He has a lot of women around him. That old b * stard is a playboy. "
Pan Song smiled and said, "Of course there are a lot of women outside, but there's one thing he's not bad about. He treats his wife and children well. He never stays out at night. When it's time to go home, he goes home. He's clear-headed and never messes around.
He himself said that his wife is used to make a living. When she's with him, she's willing to spoil him because of him. As for the people outside, if he were just a country bumpkin, who would even look at him?
This is the good thing about this person. He's clear. He's not like Pang Xiujie, who gets arrogant because he has some money and doesn't know his place. "
Lu Bo smiled and said, "I didn't expect Chen Youli to have such a side to him."
"You, don't look down on people. He has the ability to get to where he is today. He's not stupid." Pan Song threw a cigarette at him and continued, "I'm telling you all this in hopes that you'll get some inspiration. Find someone who can make a living. It doesn't matter if they're poor or rich. You have to make a living after getting married.
In the ten years you've been married, has she ever cooked a meal for you or washed a piece of clothing for you?
It's not that women are born to do these things, but it's because washing clothes and cooking are normal for most families. These are shared by the husband and wife. They can't rely on you.
She's outstanding. She's a modern woman who doesn't want to work in the kitchen. I understand that.
But in terms of excellence, isn't Sister He a hundred times better than her? Isn't Brother Li wealthier than you?
Brother Li is such a lazy person. Occasionally, he'll wash his own clothes and cook noodles.
Is your wife more dignified than Sister He and Brother Li? "
"I've let nature take its course when it comes to relationships." Without needing his cousin to say anything, Lu Bo had already realized his wrong attitude towards relationships.
He spoiled her and gave her freedom, causing her to become more and more unscrupulous and have no bottom line.
Pan Song thought for a moment and said, "Don't say such discouraging words. You're only in your early forties. You're only halfway through your life. As medical conditions get better in the future, it'll be normal for you to live to 9100.
How about this, come to my place for dinner on Saturday. Where's your sister-in-law? I'll introduce her to you. "
"What's the rush?" Lu Bo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I've just gotten divorced and haven't caught my breath yet. If you're going back to Pujiang, hurry up and go back to work. Don't waste your time with me."
"I was joking when I said I'd find you a young and beautiful woman. You still have to find someone to live with. The one your sister-in-law is introducing," Pan Song acted as if he didn't hear Lu Bo's words and continued, "She's a junior high school math teacher. She's an only child. Her father passed away early, leaving her alone in bed. Even if she's married, she can't abandon her. On the one hand, she doesn't want to be a burden to others. On the other hand, it's because others don't want to jump into this pit.
