"Baoshan has taken a liking to Xiaoxue. Wait for your brother to tell you himself, and try to win him over. Maybe you can earn some extra money." Tao Ying whispered to Wang Baomin.
It's really not easy to get a chance to scam Baoshan.
Wang Baomin stared wide-eyed at Tao Ying, his face filled with disbelief.
"Mom, is this a good idea? How much blood do you think Baoshan will bleed?" Wang Baomin asked excitedly.
"That's up to you how you negotiate," Tao Ying said, offering no advice.
After dinner, Wang Yuexue went home, and Wang Baoshan awkwardly approached Wang Baomin.
"Second brother, can I talk to you about something?"
"What is it?" Wang Baomin looked at Wang Baoshan's fawning face, and couldn't help but smile.
"Yes, yes, I heard from Sister Xue that you saved her." Wang Baoshan really found it difficult to say.
"What's wrong?" Wang Baomin asked, feigning ignorance as he looked at Wang Baoshan.
"You don't like Sister Xue, and Mom is even planning to adopt her as her goddaughter. I just wanted to ask if I could pursue Sister Xue," Wang Baoshan said cautiously.
Tao Ying hid in the room behind the two men and listened to their conversation through the window.
"You like Wang Yuexue's family?" Wang Baomin asked deliberately.
"I just met a girl who met all my expectations." Wang Baoshan does not deny this.
Wang Baoshan just wants to find someone from a good family background who can get along well with his mother. As long as other things aren't too outrageous, Wang Baoshan can accept them.
"Then go for it! Wang Yuexue is a girl who's been starved for love, so don't hurt her." Wang Baomin said with a smile to Wang Baoshan.
"You don't want any benefits?" Tao Ying couldn't help but stand up, peeking her head out of the window to look at Wang Baomin.
"Mom?!" Wang Baoshan was startled.
Then, he looked at Wang Baomin in disbelief, and then at Tao Ying.
"Mom, you actually helped my brother cheat me out of money? Am I no longer your beloved eldest son?" Wang Baoshan felt hurt.
Wang Baoshan's greatest love in life is money, and then his mother.
Are they about to leave me together?
"What do you mean by helping your brother cheat you out of money? You're such a cheapskate, you only make money and never spend it, what's the point of keeping it?" Tao Ying replied, feigning righteousness.
"Brother?" Wang Baoshan turned around and looked at Wang Baomin in disbelief.
"Mom was just teasing you. We wouldn't be so stingy with your money. It's just that my brother is planning to buy a car, but we're a little short on cash. Could you see if you could help me out?" Wang Baomin rubbed his hands together a little embarrassedly.
"You two are big bosses, yet you're eyeing the little bit of money I, a mere worker, have?" Wang Baoshan clutched his pocket, looking at the two men with a face full of grief and indignation.
“Now that we’ve bought a car, you can ride in it too,” Wang Baomin said somewhat awkwardly.
"Sister Xue has a car, so I don't have to pay for a ride with her." Wang Baoshan didn't want to take a car.
That would cost a lot of money. If you have that kind of money, you can just walk there yourself.
"Baoshan, a real man shouldn't live off a woman," Tao Ying earnestly advised.
"What's wrong with being a kept man? It's not shameful. If I can earn that status through my own abilities, that's my skill." Wang Baoshan straightened his back and spoke with complete confidence.
“Yes, I think Baoshan is right.” Yang Lin, who was arm in arm with Wang Chunni and about to go home, overheard Wang Baoshan’s words and agreed wholeheartedly.
Tao Ying: "..." This guy's gotten all proud.
Wang Baomin: "..." How could he be so shameless?
Wang Baoshan: "..." A kindred spirit.
"What's shameful is being a kept man and then refusing to eat his wife's food," Yang Lin said matter-of-factly.
My wife's family is well-off, what's wrong with that? It's not her fault that they're well-off. I just need to try my best to treat her well.
He saw that after he got married, his career took off and everyone in the office treated him with great respect.
No one will steal my credit anymore, and I'll be surrounded by good people. Isn't that great?
“I’m so ugly and uneducated, yet I can still make a living. Baoshan has a good education and is handsome, so he’ll definitely make a living too,” Yang Lin encouraged.
"Brother-in-law, I knew you were the best to me," Wang Baoshan said, his voice choked with emotion.
“Can’t we marry someone of equal social standing? My sister and brother-in-law are classmates. Our family became wealthy later, so there’s no question of us being a kept man. It’s just that some people are jealous of my brother-in-law.” Wang Chuntao said with a frown after hearing Yang Lin’s words when she came home from school.
Third Brother already had warped values, and his family misled him like this.
“I just want to find someone with better conditions than me, and then use that to make myself better. What’s wrong with that? Would it be better to find someone with worse conditions who just wants to take my money?” Wang Baoshan didn’t think he was doing anything wrong.
Upon hearing Wang Baoshan's words, Wang Baomin immediately thought of Zhao Shuangfeng's family and Li Caixia's family, and a chill ran down his spine. He suddenly realized that Wang Baoshan was absolutely right.
"You're twisting the facts. You can find someone of equal social standing and good character, so that no one takes advantage of the other, and everyone can work together to improve things, instead of always thinking about who gets the better of whom," Wang Chuntao said angrily.
Tao Ying came out of the house and gestured to Wang Baomin to get her a stool.
Then he pulled Wang Chunni to sit down, ready to watch the two children debate.
"Mom, aren't you going to do anything about it?" Wang Baoshan was taken aback by Tao Ying's actions.
"I currently agree with Chuntao's viewpoint; there's nothing wrong with a marriage where both partners are equally matched," Tao Ying stated her opinion very fairly.
“It’s true that we’re evenly matched, but there will always be one who’s a little stronger. I just want to find a wife who’s better than me and can help me grow. Is that not okay?” Wang Baoshan said directly.
“Baoshan is right, everyone has the right to choose.” Tao Ying nodded.
“You’re not wrong, but you can’t use conditions as the only standard. You can succeed entirely on your own.” Wang Chuntao was very angry about Wang Baoshan’s thinking.
His family's wealth was built by his mother's hard work, so why would he want to live off a woman?
“Chuntao is right. Third Brother Chuntao supports you in being an independent and strong woman. Third Brother is waiting for the day you will protect Third Brother.” Wang Baoshan’s expression suddenly changed, and he patted Wang Chuntao’s shoulder to encourage her.
Wang Chuntao “…”
"I told you to work hard, not to support my efforts." It took Wang Chuntao a while to find her voice.
“Chuntao, you like to work hard and earn money on your own, while I like to rely on others to earn money. Isn’t that perfect? You earn money, and I spend it. You study hard and earn money so you can support your good-for-nothing brother in the future.” Wang Baoshan looked at Wang Chuntao with encouraging eyes.
Wang Chuntao “…”
"Mom! Look at him! How could he do this?" Wang Chuntao broke down, her voice trembling with tears.
"Go back to your life of being a kept man, Chun Tao won't support you." Tao Ying quickly hugged Wang Chun Tao and coaxed her gently.
