Lin Jingyu smiled silently and continued, "Temporary poverty is not terrible. What is terrible is that this man is 'content with what he has.' He thinks that as long as he doesn't starve, that's enough. Other people have the ability to build new houses to live in, but he thinks that his leaky house is fine as long as it is repaired."
Others send their children to school, to learn a trade, or to acquire skills.
He felt that one could make a living without studying, and it didn't matter whether or not the child learned a trade, since the child would have food to eat if he grew up to farm.
Such people don't compare themselves with ambitious people; they only compare themselves with those who are not doing as well as themselves, and they always feel that they are not the worst off.
If you hope he will be more ambitious and work hard to improve his life, then in his eyes you will see it as you looking down on him and being materialistic.
Ultimately, two people in love will inevitably argue and bicker because of these kinds of days, not only wearing down their relationship but also turning them into a truly resentful couple.
"Jingyu sees things very clearly!"
Chen Xinyue, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but sigh softly, "I think so too."
Some people are born into poverty, and they will work hard, hoping to soar to great heights or rise to prominence.
Such things are rare, and it's uncommon for them to happen.
Unless this person needs the help of a benefactor.
Without the help of benefactors, it is harder than climbing to heaven to rise out of poverty.
Because as soon as he steps out, his path will be blocked.
Even with the support of influential people, it is possible for a poor but talented person to truly rise above their circumstances.
Very rarely. As Jingyu just mentioned, people who grow up in different environments have very different perspectives and outlooks compared to others.
Throughout history, those who have emerged from humble backgrounds have been extremely rare.
Otherwise, why would anyone call someone a "noble child from a poor family"? The word "noble" here actually describes something as rare and scarce.
"You guys are amazing."
Mu Qiuyue looked at the three people in front of her with amazement, "These are the words my grandparents taught me. I didn't expect you to know them so early."
No wonder you handle every problem so well; the village elders value you highly.
"Hehe, these things..."
Yang Shujue thought about how she had been exposed to the internet in her previous life, and wondered what she couldn't see through. "Actually, as long as you have a clear mind, you can see through anything."
Some women only think about men, about love and family, and don't consider what life will be like after marriage, filled with the mundane realities of daily life.
In their view, feelings seem to be more important than anything else. If such a person meets a capable man who will pamper her like a princess, then she can be considered happy in this life.
If a man says "I'll take care of you" when you first meet him, but after marriage he says "I'll take care of you," then she should prepare to live a life of tears.
I think it's better for girls to be more clear-headed. Qiuyue is a good example; she knows how to find someone suitable for her.
"This kind of topic could be discussed for three days and three nights without running out of steam."
Lin Jingyu ended the topic abruptly.
Thinking of the initial question, she asked, "Didn't you say that He Zhiqing has a fiancée? How will you handle that?"
Mu Qiuyue smiled and said, "He did have a fiancée before he went to the countryside, but he doesn't anymore."
"From what you're saying, it's another melodramatic story."
Yang Shujue scoffed, "The other party knew that He Zhiqing had been sent to the countryside, so they went to break off the engagement immediately, and then turned their attention to a family with more 'power,' right?"
"You could guess all of these?"
Mu Qiuyue's eyes widened in surprise.
Her reaction made them burst into laughter.
...
Leaving Shuibu Village.
Zhao Ancheng couldn't hold back any longer, "Uncle, the educated youth we've met all seem very easy to talk to, they don't seem like difficult people to get along with."
Why can't Qiaoyan get along with them?
Moreover, it's clear that these educated youth come from relatively well-off families.
Zhao Hansheng asked in a deep voice, "Do you understand what 'standing out from the crowd' means?"
"Know."
Zhao Ancheng nodded in response: "It means like a crane standing among chickens. It's a metaphor for someone whose appearance or talent stands out among a group of people."
Uncle, you mean...?
"Your sister is that chicken."
Zhao Hansheng bluntly stated the facts: "She is a pheasant that has fallen among cranes, and she is out of place with them. How could she possibly get along with them?"
"Uncle, Qiaoyan is also quite pretty."
Zhao Ancheng looked puzzled. "She's at least much prettier than Shen Susu. Why are you saying this about her..."
I wasn't referring to appearance.
A hint of regret flashed in Zhao Hansheng's eyes. "Your sister is strong-willed, jealous, self-righteous, and mean. Apart from her own family, do you think anyone else would like her?"
She's just like your aunt; even with a winning hand, she can still play it terribly. It's because their personalities are so annoying.
Of course, they were foolish enough that, knowing there were influential people around them, they not only refused to lower themselves to befriend them, but also envied, disliked, and made enemies of them.
This is the final result: he won't have a good ending, and he'll also bring trouble to his family.
"Uncle, Qiaoyan probably never expected to be so unlucky. That sorceress ruined her life for money."
Zhao Ancheng's expression was somewhat complicated, and his gaze toward his uncle carried a hint of sympathy.
That's absolutely true.
Not to mention that his cousin not only lost her life but also brought shame to the entire Zhao family.
He had witnessed his aunt's 'power' since he was a child.
Not only did he offend people everywhere, but his uncle also lost many opportunities for advancement because of his aunt.
