Academic elites love to imagine, and half of their love life depends on self-strategy.
However, Xie Qian wasn't being sentimental this time. Wen Ying truly loved Zou Yishen. In Wen Ying's eyes, anyone who cared about Xie Qian was considered kind. Zou Yishen, who not only showed concern but also showed practical support, was especially kind.
Wen Ying had a meal with the Zou family.
Grandma Zou liked her very much, and in fact, Uncle Zou liked her too, but Uncle Zou was really bad at building relationships. He had already decided to be patient with his son Zou Yishen for Wen Ying's sake, but when everyone sat together and chatted after dinner, Uncle Zou's defenses were finally broken.
When everyone talked about the value of work, Uncle Zou felt that Wen Ying's writing was very valuable and could influence many people on a spiritual level.
"I've read all your books."
To someone his age, Wen Ying's novels weren't particularly profound or weighty. But her writing was always righteous, and Uncle Zou loved it. Judging Wen Ying by her writing, Uncle Zou knew she was a kindhearted woman.
Xie Jinghu always disliked Wen Ying, thinking that Xie Qian and Wen Ying's relationship was a step down and that Wen Ying's family background was not good enough. Uncle Zou did not have such a view.
Is a good family background that important?
Xie Jinghu has a good family background, but he is such a bad person.
So when looking for a partner, you have to consider their character!
Besides, Wen Ying's family background is just not good enough, but it is not bad no matter how you look at it. This girl is also excellent herself, and being with Xie Qian is a real "strong combination".
Uncle Zou's conversation then expanded on the value of work.
The work of a writer is valuable, and so is that of a teacher.
Although Lin Lin gave up the path of scientific research, she chose to teach and educate people, which is also a very valuable job that can cultivate many talents useful to society!
What kind of work is worthless?
Zou Yishen's work.
I've read so many books, given up my major, and now I'm writing materials and speeches for my boss! I've wasted my youth in one meaningless meeting after another!
When Uncle Zou got emotional, he spoke without considering the occasion. He bluntly said that Zou Yishen was wasting his talent and that everyone in the system was hypocritical!
"dad!"
Zou Yishen frowned and spoke out to stop him.
Zou Yishen was used to being disliked by his own father. In the past, whenever his uncle Zou said that, Zou Yishen would never say a word, and it would all go in one ear and out the other.
But not today, today is Wen Ying’s first time to meet the Zou family.
Zou Weijun coughed lightly: "Brother, how can you talk like that?"
Zou Weijun knew why his elder brother was prejudiced against working within the system. Besides thinking that Zou Yishen was wasting his talent, his elder brother felt from the bottom of his heart that people working within the system were very hypocritical.
The first to be affected was Xie Yuping.
When Xie Jinghu's affair was first exposed, Uncle Zou went to the Xie family in a very emotional state and asked Zou Weijun and Xie Jinghu to divorce, saying that the Zou family would not tolerate such insults.
Xie Yuping stopped Uncle Zou and appealed to his emotions and reason, saying that divorce was not the best option. Uncle Zou was good at academics, but when it came to lecturing on these principles, how could he be Xie Yuping's opponent?
In addition, Zou Weijun himself had not given up on Xie Jinghu at that time, so Uncle Zou returned in vain after Xie Yuping's persuasion.
Later, Zou Weijun suffered a lot in the struggle with Xie Jinghu. Uncle Zou wanted to help his sister but was helpless, thinking that the Xie family was "bullying others by taking advantage of their power." The Zou family was a family of scholars, while the Xie family was a family of officials... The Xie family was really going too far!
Unable to rescue his sister, Uncle Zou was in agony and couldn't find a way out. He was full of disgust towards the Xie family and also towards his own son Zou Yishen who was trying to pursue a career in politics.
Can you achieve truth and justice through leadership if you can't find it through academic study? This world really makes Uncle Zou confused!
Zou Weijun interrupted his elder brother's complaints, not only to help Zou Yishen, but also because he thought of Wen Ying's father Wen Dongrong.
It’s fine if the eldest brother scolds Yi Shen, he can also scold the Xie family indirectly, but he can’t kill Wen Dongrong with the same brush!
Zou Weijun loudly retorted, "Every profession has its uses. Big Brother, you always say Yi Shen is wasting his talent. Yi Shen is so smart. If he could put his intelligence to work, he could help a lot of people!"
Not only Zou Weijun refuted Uncle Zou, but Aunt Xie Qian was also pinching her husband's arm. Uncle Zou realized belatedly: Wen Ying's mother works in a bank, and Wen Ying's father is also in the system.
You can scold your son at any time, but you can't show off to a little girl the first time you meet her.
Uncle Zou blushed and explained to Wen Ying in a low voice: "That's not what I meant... I actually..."
"I know my uncle is actually heartbroken that my cousin has wasted his scientific talent."
Wen Ying has already seen that Uncle Zou is a nerd.
His IQ is definitely not low, but his EQ is not so high in some areas.
So after Professor Zou, Xie Qian's maternal grandfather, passed away, although his uncle was also a professor, the Zou family went downhill. This shows that the social status of different professors is very different.
But even though Uncle Zou's emotional intelligence was a bit low, his concern for Xie Qian and Zou Weijun was genuine. Most people would be eager to cling to in-laws like the Xie family, but Uncle Zou was the first to visit his sister when she was wronged. He truly wasn't someone who clung to power.
It’s true that Xie Yuping cares about Xie Qian, and it’s also true that Uncle Zou cares about him.
The nature of the work and life experiences of both parties are different, and their starting points when considering Xie Qian are also different. We cannot arbitrarily say who is right and who is wrong.
Wen Ying liked Xie Yuping and Uncle Zou, and was willing to give Uncle Zou a way out in such an occasion: "Uncle, I'm young and inexperienced, so please don't be offended if I say something wrong. My cousin has been back home for four or five years. It seems too late for you to force him to return to scientific research now."
