Wang Li glanced at Leng Mohan's back, then turned to Mu Bai, his face full of confusion, "What's wrong with this guy? Isn't fat the chewiest and most flavorful? Doesn't he know the beauty of it?"
Mu Bai looked at the piece of greasy meat in Wang Li's bowl and couldn't help but frown, feeling his appetite diminish.
"You should just enjoy your delicious food. I find this fatty meat a bit greasy." Although Mu Bai came from a well-off family and his parents were both factory leaders, he had lived a good life since childhood and did not like greasy food.
Leng Mohan was raised by wolves and was not found until he was ten years old by Luo Jiaojiao's father and taken to live in the village. However, he was able to hunt, so he would not starve to death. He could also pick the delicious parts to eat, so he had never lacked meat since he was a child.
In comparison, Wang Li's life seems much more bumpy.
When he was five years old, he lost his mother, and soon after, his father married a new wife. People in the village said that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. This saying was deeply confirmed in Wang Li.
If it weren't for his grandfather's protection, Wang Li might have died long ago. His stepmother gave birth to two younger brothers for his father, and Wang Li's position in the family became increasingly marginalized, and his life became more difficult.
In order to covet the family property, the stepmother repeatedly framed him and tried to kill him.
However, he was lucky and managed to avoid the clutches of death every time. However, he was still often abused and beaten by his stepmother.
It was not until his grandfather discovered the shocking scars on his body that he realized that he had almost died. So, his grandfather decisively took him away from the dangerous and violent home.
His life gradually improved until he entered the military camp. Now, he is the deputy battalion commander, but this news is still unknown in the village. Even his father mistakenly thinks he is just an ordinary soldier.
Since his grandfather passed away, he rarely returned home. In order to avoid disputes and troubles within the family, his father specially found the elders of the family, gave them a sum of money in the name of old-age care, and cut off the relationship with him from then on. Half of this money was borrowed from Leng Mohan.
"Mo Han, who is as cold as ice, actually got married before us. Now I really think, if my mother had arranged a marriage for me as a child, maybe I could have a wife and spend the rest of my life with her now." Wang Li's words revealed a hint of helplessness and mockery.
After hearing this, the corners of Mu Bai's mouth twitched unnaturally. This... Is Wang Li serious?
"Are you sure you'll like the marriage partner your mother arranged for you? It all depends on fate. Don't assume that everyone is as beautiful as Luo Jiaojiao. You also have to look in the mirror to see what you look like. Maybe the other person won't like you." Mu Bai looked at him with an almost speechless expression.
Wang Li was choked by these words. "Although I am not as good-looking as Mo Han, I am not bad, right? My ability is just slightly inferior."
Mu Bai watched him stuff the food that Mo Han had left for him and himself into his lunch box, and couldn't help but sigh, "Leave some for me, don't be so greedy."
"Half for each of us. I exchanged it for the fish." Mu Bai glanced at him and raised a helpless smile. "You are not really angry because of what I just said, are you?"
Wang Li was silent for a moment, nodded and shook his head: "I am indeed a little annoyed, but not too angry. By the way, Mo Han is getting married, I have to find a time to withdraw the money and return it to him. I borrowed money from him before, but I have been dragging my feet on paying it back, which is really unreasonable."
