"you……"
The uncle was so angry that his face turned red, and he pointed at Wang Tianxiao, unable to speak.
"What do you mean, 'I'? You won't tell me, right? Then I'm sorry..."
Wang Tianxiao jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) and walked straight toward his uncle.
He was tall and burly, with an aggressive demeanor. His uncle was so frightened by his appearance that he jumped up from the sofa and instinctively protected himself: "What do you want to do? Are you going to attack me?"
"Don't even mention it, let me tell you, I've beaten up at least a platoon, not a company. You can try it and see. If I don't beat you to a pulp today, you won't know how hospitable the people of Qingcheng are."
Seeing Wang Tianxiao continue to approach, the uncle finally couldn't hold back any longer and said repeatedly, "Don't come any closer, don't be impatient, let's talk this out. Fighting won't solve anything, will it?"
"So, you're willing to talk things out properly now?" Wang Tianxiao stopped and asked calmly.
"Yes, very much so,"
Wang Tianxiao turned to look at Zuo Shengli, who couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking to himself that this brother-in-law was truly the nemesis of such a scoundrel.
If you try to reason with these kinds of people, they'll just argue and make things difficult for you.
On the contrary, if you simply ignore them or don't even treat them like human beings, they will back down.
He immediately became a gigolo, losing all his backbone.
"Then tell me, what exactly did you come here for? Did my cheap old lady send you, or did you come of your own accord? Explain yourself. I'm giving you one last chance. If you don't seize it, I promise I'll grab you and throw you out the door right now. If I let you in again, I'll be a dog."
Seeing that he had intimidated his uncle, Wang Tianxiao sat down next to him and stared into his eyes.
He had long ago discerned from this person's words and actions that he was no good.
He might be his wife's uncle, but that's only a slight blood relation and doesn't mean anything else.
Moreover, what hurts her most for her mother-in-law is precisely this blood relationship.
This was like putting a lock on her heart, pulling up a health bar; it was fine if she didn't touch it, but it hurt as soon as she did.
Seeing her today says it all.
She was originally a very kind person, and she always gave people a warm and friendly feeling when they met her. But today, although her mother-in-law was forcing a smile, it seemed very mechanical.
This proves that she was under tremendous pressure, and even when she saw her granddaughter and grandson, she felt powerless to smile.
"Actually, it's like this: my mother is now paralyzed and bedridden, and there's no one to take care of her. We have neither money nor anyone to help her..."
"How could that be? Don't you have several older sisters?"
"There are a few, but three of the six are dead, and the other two are nowhere to be found, so I only know about your place."
"This is karma."
Wang Tianxiao said coldly, "Back then, they kicked the children out one by one, and now that they're old, they're waiting for someone to take care of them. There's no such thing as a free lunch..."
At this point, Wang Tianxiao suddenly glanced at his uncle and sneered, "That's not the real reason, is it?"
"That's why I came here. Otherwise, why would I come here? It's more than a hundred miles from Ning County to here."
My uncle wanted to continue explaining.
"Can't you tell me even a single word of the truth? Tell me, is your mother, our adoptive grandmother, dead?"
The younger uncle was startled and looked at Wang Tianxiao in surprise, "How did you know... Oh, what makes you say that?"
"Because from your tone and demeanor, I didn't sense any genuine worry or sadness about your mother. On the contrary, every time you mentioned her, it sounded very comfortable and relaxed. So I think it's highly likely that you've already broken free from your mother's care, and right now you're just looking for a place where you can continue to drift through life, isn't that right?"
My uncle's expression really changed at this moment.
He stared at Wang Tianxiao in shock, as if he were looking at a ghost.
He was thinking to himself, "How can this person be so smart, like a ghost? He can even guess something like this."
He had originally planned to negotiate with Wang Tianxiao and the others, hoping to settle down here permanently.
Anyway, he was spoiled by his mother and several older sisters since he was a child, and he doesn't have much ability to take care of himself. If he really left someone behind, he doesn't know how he would live.
Now that we've finally found this older sister, how can we let her go so easily? We're definitely going to stay here.
He seemed to have seen some possibilities in his eldest nephew.
But now, seeing his two sons-in-law, especially the elder one, he suddenly became hesitant.
Will my plan really work?
This person looks like a dog, completely able to detect his true thoughts with his keen sense of smell.
With him around, even if I stayed here, I doubt I'd have a good time.
Thinking of this, he felt a little uneasy, and his momentum softened considerably.
Am I completely right?
The younger uncle nodded and lowered his head.
"So, your reluctance to tell me what you want to do means you're planning to stay at my aunt's house and not leave?"
The uncle remained silent; his silence was his answer.
"You're dreaming. I've never understood you people. Don't you know that people have dignity? Don't you care about your own reputation at all?"
"I'm about to starve, so what do I care about saving face? As long as I can live, nothing else matters."
"But if you want to live, there are many ways. Why do you have to think about living under someone else's roof? You're a grown man, what can't you do? Besides, you've seen the situation here. Who are you planning to rely on to support you? Your sixty-year-old sister, or your nephews? Come to think of it, who really acknowledges you? Giving you a cup of tea is fine, but taking care of you? You're really overthinking it."
