Chapter 134: Even a weak position can be a chess player
As the saying goes, only magic can defeat magic.
The quarrels and fights like the country folks were not acceptable to either my second brother or Yan Shenjue.
But the cook can.
The cook had worked in the backyard of a wealthy family. She was good at gossiping and had a smooth tongue. It would be like cracking a nut with a sledgehammer to confront these villagers.
The key is to argue back in this way and make the right and wrong clear face to face, so that they won't make blind guesses and talk behind your back.
The cook ran out shouting with the child in her arms, and easily gathered the crowd.
After a while, the mother of the child was heard crying and cursing: "How can you be like this? If you are greedy for a man, go find him yourself. Why did you take our Huzi away? I searched half the village for him and you didn't say a word. You even threw our Huzi away. You have no conscience!!"
Soon, Tang Juanzi's voice of crying at the top of her lungs was heard again: "My mother insisted that I go! My mother asked me to hold Hu Zi! Go find my mother! I don't like that sick boy. I like Brother Tang. I only like Brother Tang..."
The second brother was so angry that he laughed.
I have to say, this girl is really clueless! ! He is blind and doesn't even like her, but she still thinks she is pretty good?
Xinbao was so angry that he almost died.
But she was slow to react, and before she could think of how to scold her, she had already run away and disappeared.
Xinbao was so angry that he clenched his fists, not caring whether others could hear him or not, and unilaterally tried to say: "The second-rate ones are not the only ones that are sick! The second-rate ones are the best! You are not allowed to like my big ones! All the ones are Xinbao's, and you are not allowed to like any of them! You are a big bad guy!"
She stamped her feet vigorously.
The second brother was amused by her little behavior again. He rubbed her little head casually, shook his head and laughed: "How popular is my family? Everyone is so shameless."
Yan Shenjue said, "It's not fragrant enough."
The second brother was startled, turned to look at him, and the young man said in a light voice: "You are not standing high enough, so you are being harassed like this."
The second brother couldn't help but stop laughing.
Yes, they are not standing high enough.
Just talking about the people around them, they dare to provoke them unscrupulously, but they have to think twice before provoking the Yuan family.
But if they enter the city, even a shop or a house is out of their reach. They would never dare to disturb them casually, let alone turn against them and curse if their pursuit fails.
Things in the world have always been like this. If you are only a little bit higher than them, all kinds of jealousy and covetousness will surely come one after another. But if you are much higher, they will only dare to look up to you, or even dare not even pay you respect.
Therefore, to live in a place like the village, they need to go one step further, otherwise these trivial matters will be endless.
Yan Shenjue saw that he had figured it out, so he continued, "If you still get emotional because of this kind of person, even if it's not anger... then your character still needs to be tempered."
The second brother could not help but remain silent.
Unlike Yan Shenjue's words which were like the rustling autumn wind, his hands were extremely gentle.
He bent down and grabbed the angry little hand of the little boy.
The little boy was still not satisfied, but was speechless. He angrily refused to let him hold his hand and struggled hard. He held him again, but the little boy broke free again and ran away two steps, clasping his arms together to hide his two little hands, puffing up his little chubby face and glaring at him.
Yan Shenjue was amused by her.
He seldom smiles, and when he does, he reveals some bright youthful spirit.
He followed her, held her shoulders, and coaxed her gently: "Xinbao is not angry anymore, eat some cakes, okay?"
Eat cakes? Naituanzi's mind was distracted and he looked over there.
Yan Shenjue held her little hand again, gently opened it, hesitated for a moment, and gently kissed her palm.
Naituanzi didn't care at all, but he felt a little embarrassed, his ears turned red. He took her hand, took her aside, and opened the food box: "Xinbao, which one do you want to eat?"
Xinbao leaned over, looked at this and that, almost drooling, and pointed with his little hand: "I want this one."
Yan Shenjue took it out and fed him slowly, spoonful by spoonful.
The second brother was distracted for a while, and when he saw it, he hurried into the house and poured a glass of water for Tuanzi.
Yan Shenjue said: "Second Brother Tang, please don't think I am being too polite... You are at the bottom of the world now, and you are not someone who is willing to be mediocre. Since you have lofty ambitions, you should seize every opportunity, use every resource, and study hard to improve yourself."
He said word by word, "Second Brother Tang, chance will not care whether you have been ill for a long time, chance will not care whether you have been framed by others. When you are successful, you can bring out all your past sufferings to impress others, but when you are struggling to move forward, these are meaningless. Because most of the people who can be convinced by this reason are standing below you and are of no help to you."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The second brother couldn't help but be surprised and looked up at him.
He has always been a man of few words and seems to be unsophisticated, but I didn't expect that he could say such words.
Every word is truly precious.
He bowed to him solemnly but said nothing.
Yan Shenjue slowly fed Tuanzi to finish the cake, and then gave her two sips of water.
He hesitated for a moment before adding, "There is one more thing. I may have some selfish motives in saying this, but Brother Tang, please just listen to it."
The second brother nodded. Yan Shenjue looked at him and said seriously, "The safest thing is never to hide in a corner, but to stand under the sun. After all, when you are too weak, there are too many reasons and too many ways to easily put you to death; but when you are in a high position, everyone and every force you know are chess pieces in your hands. The number of chess pieces you have means the number of possibilities and the number of ways to retreat. Even if you are weak, you can still be a chess player."
The second brother was so overwhelmed by what he said, but he did not lose his composure.
He said briefly and cryptically: "There is still a long way to go."
Yan Shenjue also replied briefly: "Think three steps ahead when playing chess, and plan carefully at every step."
Tuanzi opened her mouth slightly and her eyes wide, looking back and forth at the two people talking.
She had never seen Yan Shenjue talk so much.
Her little idiot brain couldn't keep up at all, and she felt that even if it wasn't a little idiot, she might not be able to understand.
Even in her previous life, she was considered successful, but in fact she had always lived among a bunch of academic fanatics. The environment was very simple and she didn't understand many things.
Her classmates called her a silly and innocent girl. After she strongly objected and said that she was not silly, they jokingly called her "the wise and innocent leader". This name was used until she grew up.
She had never seen such great wisdom...like treating the world as chess.
At this moment, she felt that the beautiful young man who was like a jade sculpture in front of her suddenly came alive, as if the door was opened, and the sunlight shone on him, bit by bit, reflecting the magnificent and dazzling heart... He was so handsome that she couldn't take her eyes off him. She decided that she would not change her wife or change wives. Her wife was her destiny, and she was her wife's crazy fan!
