And you said you'd give me a share of the profits from this restaurant.
Is Fang Ran implying that he's now down on his luck and wants to renege on his promise?
"You must be mistaken. I told you back then that it was a dividend for your teacher's wife, not for you."
The master's wife refused, so naturally, that didn't happen.
His teacher's wife was good to him and taught him many principles, so he respected her and regarded her as his own mother.
Bai Shouye, who had harmed his master's wife, naturally wouldn't give him a pleasant look. "As for doing business, you haven't given me any money, have you? You're not trying to get something for nothing, are you?"
How did Bai Shouye succeed in his previous life? No one knew about his scheming. Instead, they sympathized with him because he had lost his mother. So Fang Ran gave him a sum of money and even took him into business.
That's when he slowly started to have money. But he can forget about it for the rest of his life.
When has Bai Shouye ever been treated like this? Everyone has always been polite to him when he goes out, but now, after such a short time, they're all acting like dogs who abuse their power.
Why are you suddenly turning your back on me? Are you looking down on me?
Bai Shouye just couldn't understand. Couldn't they see his abilities? Were they blind?
Mo Yan stood there with Bai Yuansi.
"Yuan Si, did you see that? This is just plain stupid. He clearly knows nothing but tries to get something for nothing. Shameless..."
And yet, they still dared to plot against her and Yuan Si.
“Grandma, isn’t this just being too self-important? He always feels that it’s his due for others to be nice to him.”
"No matter what kind of relationship you have, it's always mutual. Whether you're sincere or not, the other person can sense it."
You should not take advantage of your family members, nor should you think that they are obligated to make sacrifices for you.
I naturally treat your Uncle Fang Ran like my own child, which is why I can't say I need to ask him for favors.
I came here because I trust the quality of the fish in our village. It's not because I know him.
Of course, even if the fish wasn't good, Fang Ran would still accept it, but that kind of acceptance wasn't what Mo Yan wanted.
No relationship can withstand being hurt.
The heart will grow cold, and disappointment will set in.
He can only buy bad fish and throw them away; who's responsible for the daily losses?
Upon hearing Mo Yan's words, Bai Yuansi nodded vigorously. In the days that followed, he constantly reminded himself not to take advantage of his family.
You're right, I do look down on you.
Bai Shouye, as your master's wife's son, you don't know how to be filial to her, but instead scheme against your own mother for the sake of another woman. You are a worthless person, do you understand?
How dare you even show your face here?
Hearing this, Bai Shouye was furious. "You don't know anything, what do you know?"
I've always lived in their shadow. Even though I'm no less capable than them, I'll always be their son.
Why can't I be myself?
Fang Ran looked at Bai Shouye as if he were an idiot.
He was so envious of being able to be his teacher's wife's child, yet he still looked down on it?
"So you enjoyed everything your master and mistress brought you: the attention, the recognition, the friends, and the benefits."
Then you turn your back on me!
Do you think that once you're no longer your teacher's wife's son, who will even give you a second glance?
In school, you don't listen attentively and instead lead the way in skipping classes.
You're always wallowing in self-pity and melancholy. You act like you're incredibly talented, and if someone points it out, you think they're just jealous.
I'm sorry, but besides being your teacher's wife's son, you really are nothing else.
Don't say that this is why you don't want to study.
Bai Shouye, you have no idea what other people are like.
Take the other classmates, for example. They also feel that their families are too controlling, but they know that if it weren't for their families, they wouldn't be in the college.
If you live in a farming family, you will work in the fields and even have to study hard to stay awake and study diligently.
You are already incredibly lucky, yet you are not content. You complain about the shackles your teacher's wife imposes on you, but without those shackles you are nothing.
What can you do? What skills do you have that can support you?
You think it's excessive for your teacher's wife to ask you to study.
You feel disgusted when asked to do business.
You were forced to take the imperial examination to become a scholar.
How could Bai Shouye be so capable?
Fang Ran had wanted to give Bai Shouye a good scolding a long time ago; without his master's wife, he was nothing at all.
He enjoys everything his family provides, yet he is ungrateful and schemes against his parents.
The so-called complaints are nothing but being overly sensitive. You may feel that you don't want to live in your father's shadow, so leave a message to work hard and prove yourself, instead of enjoying everything your parents have given you while scheming against them.
The original owner really put so much pressure on him. It wasn't anything serious; it was just his own fragile ego.
Who wasn't asked by relatives and friends when they were a child if they were someone else's child?
Even when you grow up, aren't you still your father's child? Is this considered coercion?
Author's note: This is a three-chapter combined into one long story. I'm going to the hospital.
After staying up late for a long time, I found that my condition was not quite right.
I'll adjust as soon as possible. It's still another day of loving you all. Give me a reminder to update! The "missing you" button is so prominent.
