If you talk too much, you will feel thirsty. If you eat too many snacks, you will also feel thirsty. So you have to be like her and prepare everything so that you can have a better story experience.
Sure enough, it was almost the same as Liu Liang imagined.
It’s really a long story.
Liu Liang opened another pack of snacks and sat here quietly listening to Zeng Xubai's story.
In fact, it can't be considered a story. This is Zeng Xubai's own life. Of course, Zeng Xubai has never told it in front of anyone, and Liu Liang has never known it.
After hearing this, Liu Liang realized that Zeng Xubai was also a miserable child.
The Zeng family is completely different from the Fang family and the Cheng family.
The Cheng family is a typical family with a lot of money and a lot of things to do, but there are few people in the family. So relatively speaking, the overall affairs are still decided by Cheng Bin's family. Even if those people from the side branches want to interfere, they are not allowed to.
The Fang family is dominated by Fang Yuan's grandparents, and power is even more concentrated. Whether it is a house, a car or money, they are all tightly held in Fang Yuan's hands. It can be said that the Fang family is simpler than the Cheng family, so Fang Yuan can play outside at will, even if he doesn't go home. Others can't take away the things under his name, and the most expensive things in the Fang family are in his hands. Those people still rely on him to survive. The most they can do is say a few words of dissatisfaction, but they dare not be too excessive in other things.
If someone makes Fang Yuan unhappy one day and Fang Yuan kicks the person out, no one will say a bad word or say that it is wrong.
But the Zeng family is a completely different kind of family. If you are not here, you would never know that there is such a place or such a family.
The Zeng family has been passed down for hundreds of years. As to when it was passed down, it may be traced back to a very long time ago. The Zeng family still uses the family tree until now. Only when the children of each family are listed in the family tree can they be considered as members of the Zeng family in the true sense.
However, although such a family has a complete heritage, it also has some bad habits from the old feudal era, such as polygamy. However, in recent years, it is not as serious as before and has been changed. After all, it is not allowed by law.
However, these ideas still exist deep in the bones of the Zeng family. Although there is no such thing as marrying multiple wives, if an illegitimate child is really born, then this child can be included in the Zeng family's genealogy and become a true descendant of the Zeng family.
Zeng Xubai's mother was a typical lady from a noble family. She was a good match for the Zeng family at that time. Her temperament was like many other women, gentle and virtuous. She never quarreled with others and could even be said to be a non-confrontational person.
However, the Zeng family was not a place that someone with her personality could adapt to. In the Zeng family, she had to learn to be cruel and calculating, but Zeng Xubai's mother did not like these things, and could even be said to be disdainful of them.
There is nothing wrong with such a personality. Living in a world of calculations, but with an original intention, one can still create a world of his own.
No matter how much wind and rain there is outside, being alone and feeling tired and relaxed can be considered a kind of life.
Everyone has their own destiny, just be happy.
It's just a pity that she wanted peace, but the man she married was not a peaceful one. Not long after Zeng Xubai was born, he brought back a woman, and even an illegitimate child who looked almost the same as Zeng Xubai.
Although Zeng Xubai's mother was calm and didn't like to argue with others, she was actually proud and arrogant in her bones. After that woman used countless tricks on her, she left the Zeng family angrily and took Zeng Xubai out. Since then, she has never returned to the Zeng family.
She is a stubborn woman.
Liu Liang felt that Zeng's mother was definitely not a soft-hearted person. If she was, she would compromise. Many women live their lives like this, constantly suffering from grievances and loneliness, waiting and enduring day by day until their hair turns gray and their efforts are exhausted.
But Zeng's mother was able to give up those things, take away her son and her self-esteem.
Therefore, Liu Liang admires such women very much.
It's not like you can't live without a man, so why should you sacrifice your whole life? Since you don't care anymore, why not live again for yourself?
Of course, it is also thanks to the fact that Zeng Xubai was raised by his mother. He was exposed to education with very positive values since he was a child, and the people he met were all people with very positive values. If he was in the Zeng family, it is unknown what he would be raised to be. Although it is said that nature is determined by heaven, we should not forget the saying that those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black.
Although Liu Liang had never been to the Zeng family's place, she knew from Zeng Xubai's few words that it was not a place where a normal person could stay.
It can also be said that it is a place where Zeng Xubai cannot stay.
If he goes, he will only be despised, favored, and treated unfairly in other ways.
Growing up like that will result in an unhappy childhood, and it is even more likely that you won’t even live to grow up.
Regardless of whether Zeng Xubai grew up outside, he could never change the fact that he was a member of the Zeng family. So after graduating from university, he still returned to the Zeng family. Not only because his surname was Zeng, but also because there were some things that he could not escape. However, just as Liu Liang imagined, in a large family, especially one with many direct and collateral relatives, plus a bunch of wives, this family could not be described as a mess.
The Zeng family was in a state of chaos, to a degree that Liu Jing could not even imagine.
And this kind of chaos happens behind the scenes. On the surface, who can tell what others are thinking?
After returning to the Zeng family, Zeng Xubai used his talent and hard work to carve out a niche for himself and his mother. The Zeng family started with jadeite, and it can be said that jadeite was the foundation of the Zeng family's livelihood.
He had a great talent for gambling on stones. He bet more on rising prices and less on losing prices. It was because of this talent that his half-brother was unable to take action against him.
However, Zeng Xubai did not grow up in the Zeng family after all, so his feelings for the Zeng family were not that deep. The Zeng family tried every means to keep him in the Zeng family. After all, Zeng Xubai was arguably the most talented person in the Zeng family.
So now they want to control Zeng Xubai's marriage. As long as Zeng Xubai marries the one they want, Zeng Xubai will not leave the Zeng family easily.
The person they arranged for Zeng Xubai was the one with the surname Wu. This was also the agreement reached between the Zeng family and the Wu family, which also tied the Zeng family and the Wu family together.
The Wu family needs the Zeng family's rich wealth, and the Zeng family also needs the Wu family's help, and even needs the longevity medicine provided by the Wu family.
