Lu Fan's uncle, Lu Tianyuan, and his two cousins caused him a lot of trouble back then.
His family used to be poor, and his uncle's family often made sarcastic and open remarks about him.
Now that they know to find someone powerful to rely on, they occasionally resurrect themselves and cause trouble for him.
Is Lu Fan just too idle and carefree? Why is he deliberately looking for trouble?
His refusal was unequivocal:
Mom, didn't we already say that it's not impossible for Lu Hao and Lu Feng to join the company?
"You have to have some skills to show off, like my cousins, who are good at accounting and business. My uncles and aunts are also honest and law-abiding."
"Let alone Lu Hao and Lu Feng, even my uncle, if he were truly capable, wouldn't have fallen to the point where he can't even be hired as a gatekeeper."
In short, if you want to use connections, you'll have to show some real skills first.
If you're not capable, don't try to make a name for yourself.
On the other end of the phone, Lu's mother awkwardly spoke to Lu Fan's aunt, who then became even more arrogant.
"Xiao Fan, the past is the past. It's been so long. You can't be so petty."
“We are all your relatives. If there are minor, unspoken mistakes among relatives, just let it go for the sake of blood ties.”
"With the market so sluggish right now, your cousin just wants to help you out."
"Besides, they've both lost their jobs, so it's hard for them to find new ones. Their girlfriends are always complaining and finding fault, and they keep dragging their feet on getting married."
"If you don't arrange jobs for them, isn't it obvious that you don't want our family to live in peace?"
You have to admit, Lu Fan's aunt is quite a character.
They can turn white into black, and the dead into the living. Now, after failing to use connections and favoritism, they're turning around and blaming Lu Fan for all the family's misfortunes.
The key question is, what does this have to do with Lu Fan?
Lu Fan wouldn't indulge her:
"I'm so sorry, Auntie, I really don't understand what kind of relatives we are now."
"Let's not go into the distant past. Back then, when you misunderstood me and thought I was bankrupt, you took advantage of my misfortune and didn't treat me like a relative."
"After several twists and turns, the group never offered any help."
"Oh, now that I'm living a good life, you all want to cause trouble?"
"I'm not very knowledgeable, I really didn't know that 'wealth can find distant relatives even in remote mountains' is so realistic? Is this kind of kinship purely subjective and selective?"
After her aunt made a scene and was scolded by Lu Fan, she immediately lost her temper and started berating Lu's mother:
"Look at this kid, does he even have the manners of a junior?" "He's really got rich now, looking down on us poor relatives." Even Lu's mother was angered by this sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, you can say whatever you want about me, but you can't say anything about my son."
"What's wrong with Xiao Fan? He's perfectly fine to me, and everything he says is right! At least my son built this huge business from scratch, unlike some people who insist on living off women, never offering a kind word, and even trying to shift the blame."
"I'm telling you, no way!"
This aunt has really crossed Lu's mother's line.
She was an honest woman who hated nothing more than anyone saying a bad word about her son.
What happened to her son?
He has the ability, the money, runs a good business, and takes good care of his family.
Even so, she couldn't bear to say a single bad word about Lu Fan. How dare outsiders criticize her son?
Mother Lu stood up straight; she was no longer going to tolerate her sister-in-law and directly kicked her out.
"Don't eat my food. Go back to where you came from. Our family can't afford to entertain ancestors like you."
My aunt's face turned ashen with embarrassment, and she angrily said:
"Fine, don't eat it then! What kind of lousy food is worth showing off?" "You think you're so great, so arrogant!"
He put down his foot and turned to leave.
Lu Hao and Lu Feng looked embarrassed, but they still wanted to stay for a meal and say some nice words.
Since their own mothers had already said all that, their aunt, who was being so sarcastic, had forgotten about them, let alone arranging jobs for them.
The two boys stood at the door, drooling and calling out to their auntie:
"That's just my mom's temper, please be understanding and don't take it to heart." "That's right, Auntie, could you talk to Xiaofan about our situation again?" "It's really hard to find a job these days. If you can't find a job, could you inquire about the franchise opportunity?"
Lu's mother was so angry she almost laughed.
When Lu Fan's aunt was saying bad things about him, these two boys never jumped out to support Lu Fan or told their mother to stop talking.
Now that they've fallen out, they're rushing to make amends and say nice things? Clearly, just like their biological mother, they can't see right from wrong and lack emotional intelligence.
Mother Lu had completely given up on the relatives on the Lu family's side, and waved her hand dismissively, saying:
"Alright, you guys go back first, and try to persuade your mother too."
"I'll tell Lu Fan about the job and the franchise when I meet him."
