Yu Qianhe: "Everyone is an independent individual, so why compare yourself to others? Just be healthy and happy. If you must compare yourself, compare yourself to your past self and see if you have become better."
Liu Jing: "Now I finally understand the meaning of the saying 'A single conversation with a wise man is worth more than ten years of study.'"
Liu Aiguo didn't care whether they were educated or not. "Hey! You're all capable people, each of you is a boss, you can afford to give your kids the best. I can't, my family's circumstances are what they are, and I have many children... (So could you please help me out a bit)?"
Liu Aiguo was interrupted by Yu Qianhe before he could finish speaking.
Yu Qianhe: "Then you should work even harder, brother. You're in your prime now, the time to strive. Don't waste your time, lest you regret it when you're old and your children complain about you. They'll say, 'Look at so-and-so, so-and-so's dad, he can buy houses and cars for his son and daughter. The other family's dad left his son and daughter such a big company. You're useless. You had no fighting spirit when you were young, you left nothing and still have to have children.'"
"I can't believe how heartbreaking it would be if my child disliked me like this in the future!"
Liu Jing was almost dying of laughter. Did her brother-in-law go to Liu Aiguo's house to eavesdrop on him on purpose? How did he know that Liu Aiguo's child disliked him so much?
She often heard their children say how great and capable their second aunt, third aunt, and uncle's families were, while their parents were useless and they regretted being born into the wrong family.
Yu Qianhe: "So, brother, you have to get moving! Staying at home every day won't make money fall from the sky. Even if money did fall from the sky, you'd have to get up early to pick it up!"
To be frank, my family is better off than yours, but Liu Yun and I are both working tirelessly, hoping that our child can have an easier life in the future.
Brother, even though you have many children, you can't expect to rely on them for everything in the future! You can't let your parents take advantage of you when you're young and then depend on your children when you're old! Your parents worked so hard for you, how can you not set a good example? What if your nephews, nieces, and grandchildren follow your example? Will you support them as much as they support you?
So, in this prime of life, in this best of years, don't just stay home all day waiting for a windfall. That may sound crude, but it's true.
Don't take offense at what I'm saying; I'm only saying this because we're relatives. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even bother with them. Mom, don't you think so?"
What else could it be but "yes"? What else did you say that was wrong? But they do often subsidize the eldest son's family.
Liu's mother said, "That's true. Eldest son, you're a grandfather now, so you need to take responsibility and set a good example for the children. You don't want them to follow your example in the future, do you?"
Liu Jing: "It's good to follow the example of others. Just like he did back then, his son will keep urging him to find a way to buy them a house and a car. If he doesn't have money, doesn't he have a daughter? He can just snatch his daughter away."
Upon hearing this, Liu Aiguo threw down his chopsticks with a "smack" and said, "Liu Jing, what do you mean?"
Yu Qianhe: "What, big brother, you're quite the big shot! Are you going to fight with my second sister here? If that's the case, I won't stand idly by. Don't blame me for being rough with you then."
Liu's mother didn't want to escalate the situation. If Yu Qian and the family got into a fight, it would be incredibly embarrassing. Although Liu Aiguo had lost face, she didn't want to lose face.
Liu's mother: "Eldest son, what are you doing?"
Liu Aiguo: "Mom, look at what Liu Jing is saying."
Liu Jing: "Did I say something wrong?"
Liu's mother: "Second son, you should say less."
Yu Qianhe: "Mom, you can't say that. My older brother is the same. As a man, the most important thing is to have a sense of responsibility. What is a sense of responsibility? It means that you must be able to shoulder the responsibility and obligation to serve the country and to take on the task of supporting your family."
Look at you now, yelling at your parents, brothers, and sisters like that. Now, even if the person sitting in front of you is your own sister, or even a stranger, you're still acting like a man and throwing your weight around at a woman. To be honest, I really look down on you.
You should be glad it's me sitting here today. If it were your brother-in-law, I'm sure his fist would already be in your face.
"And if Liu Yun were sitting in Second Sister's seat today, let alone you pointing fingers like this, even if you just yelled, my fist would already be in your face."
Yu Qianhe's words were extremely impolite, and Liu Aiguo and his mother's expressions turned extremely sour.
Yu Qianhe: "Also, I will report this matter to my brother-in-law."
Mother Liu: "Qianhe, there's no need for that! It's inevitable that brothers and sisters will have some quarrels."
Yu Qianhe: "Mom, just considering that Liu Jing is Liu Yun's older sister, it's understandable that I can't intervene directly in this situation, but it's necessary to talk to my brother-in-law. Besides, Xiao Zhihua is my friend, and I can't just stand by and watch my friend's wife being bullied! That would be too disheartening, Mom, don't you think?"
Liu's mother's inner monologue: What can I say after you've said that?
