Lin Jun: "By the way, Auntie, my mom asked me to ask you if you really won't go back with us to celebrate the New Year together?"
"No, no, I have already prepared the food at home. Huizi, you are really nagging now..." There is none of the straightforwardness and coldness that she had when she resolutely decided to marry into Yue's family to pursue her future.
Lin Jun: “…”
…
On the way back, the two brothers were awkward and didn't talk to each other.
A group of children passed by me, and the sound of firecrackers and laughter was endless, which made people feel relaxed.
Looking back at the children running away, Lin Jun couldn't help but speak first to break the ice.
"Ah Zhan, when we were little..."
Lin Zhan was thinking about his wife and had no patience to deal with his nagging brother who was old and ugly.
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, he interrupted him.
"We didn't play like this when we were kids. If you hadn't lost your memory, you would remember that when we were kids, you despised me for being naive and you were impatient to play with me."
"She follows Lin Yuanshan around like a little tail all day long."
Lin Zhan sneered.
Otherwise, why do they say that a person’s future can be seen at the age of three?
As the eldest brother, he has known how to be tactful and flattering since he was a child.
When I was a child, I knew that Lin Yuanshan was the head of the family, so I tried my best to please Lin Yuanshan, my father.
When he grew up and married a wife whose family background could help him, he began to use his in-laws' relationship to please his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Although he obviously didn't want to bother with Lin Jun, Lin Zhan couldn't stop making fun of Lin Jun.
"Maybe Mom ate too many fried dough sticks when she was pregnant with you."
Lin Jun looked embarrassed but confused: "Huh?"
Isn't this just talking about the brothers' childhood?
Why did you suddenly turn to the topic of what his mother ate when she was pregnant with him?
Lin Zhan: "I ate too many fried dough sticks, so I gave birth to an old fried dough stick."
Lin Jun: "...Lin Zhan! You're finding new ways to curse people now, right?!"
"Don't think that I won't beat my younger brother just because I'm older now!"
beat?
Lin Zhan didn't say anything, but slowly unbuttoned his clothes and opened his arms, revealing his muscular figure that could be seen even under the thick sweater.
Faintly, eight-pack abs.
Lin Jun took a glance, then silently wrapped his big cotton jacket tightly around his thin body.
We can’t win, we can’t win at all.
If he had known that Lin Zhan would be like this when he grew up, he would have beaten his younger brother more often when he was a child.
With an awkward cough, Lin Jun changed the subject: "At our age now, how can we still solve problems with our fists like children?"
He tried his best to look calm and composed, so as to live up to the dignity that a big brother should have.
"A Zhan, I've actually wanted to talk to you for a long time."
"I told you before, I found a job for you..."
Lin Zhan: "No."
Lin Jun: "...well, work doesn't wait for anyone. Even if you change your mind and want to go now, the good job I found for you before is gone."
In fact, it’s not that good jobs don’t wait for people, but something like that happened before -
The factory leader's daughter, Shen Zhi, wanted to be with him because he had saved her once, and she was determined to break up his family.
After he completely rejected Shen Zhi, he naturally could no longer keep the job he had asked Shen Zhi to find for his brother by using the Shen family's connections.
The Shen family is not easy to mess with. How could they allow him to hurt Shen Zhi and then keep some benefits for him?
Thinking about the targeting he had been facing at the factory recently, Lin Jun sighed and said, "How about I find you another job?"
He said earnestly: "A Zhan, I know you have a grudge against me. I was young before, and I did too many things wrong and was too eager for quick success."
"But my original intention is always for the good of our family."
"Don't look at me like that. I don't need to lie to you about this."
"You remember how much Mom was ridiculed in the compound when Dad and Mom divorced. I haven't forgotten it either."
"At the time, I was thinking that I must make a name for myself. I'm the eldest brother, and as long as I live a decent life, then both you and mom will be able to rely on me and won't be bullied or laughed at anymore."
This was his original intention.
Lin Jun was in a heavy mood, but he rarely spoke his mind to his brother: "It's just that it's hard to keep the original intention. I really thought so at the beginning."
"But once I tasted the sweetness of climbing up the ladder, I felt like I was living an increasingly utilitarian life."
Lin Zhan's eyes were cold: "You don't need to tell me this, you owe it to mom, not me."
"No one says that older brothers have to take care of their younger brothers. I do have a rift with you, but that's because you were so cruel in your early years that you didn't even care about your mother's life or death."
"So if you want to make amends, you can make it up to Mom."
The implication is that there is no need to compensate him.
Especially, don't worry about finding him a job, it's really annoying.
Lin Jun: "That's not what I meant. I'm an older brother. If I see my younger brother having a hard time and I don't care, then am I still a human being?"
Lin Zhan: "I'm doing well."
"No, you're not doing well!"
Lin Jun was stubborn: "You don't have to say such things to perfunctorily deal with me. I don't know whether you are doing well or not."
"Before you got married, you were a scoundrel out there. Who doesn't know you were a famous scoundrel? Yes, you might have a bunch of lackeys under you, but are they serious people?"
"Are you doing a legitimate business? You don't even know. I'm afraid I'll hear you've been arrested one day..."
Lin Zhan said irritably, "I have a legitimate business."
"No, you didn't."
Lin Jun remained unmoved: "You mean your main business is opening a factory, right?"
"If you take it home to trick your sister-in-law, that's fine. Men are willing to brag in front of their wives, but you're using it to fool me?"
He shook his head: "I, your brother, have been in society for so many years, and I am not someone who can be fooled easily."
Lin Zhan had a headache: "I can take you to my factory."
Hearing what he said, Lin Jun suddenly realized: "No wonder you said you have a legitimate business now, it turns out you are helping people look after factories?!"
Lin Jun finally understood.
No wonder my sister-in-law was fooled by this guy. It turned out that this guy went to show people the factory and then used materials directly on the spot.
He is taking advantage of the power of others and saying that all the factories belong to him?
Good job.
He had actually met such a person before, and after being exposed, he never appeared in front of acquaintances again.
But he didn't expect that after making fun of others, he would turn around and see that his own family also had such a boaster.
Lin Jun felt that he was more tired than ever before. It could be said that his brother had learned all five poisons in a place where he couldn't see.
"Just wait, I'll definitely find you a proper job, A-Zhan, we can't do this again in the future."
"I know you want to stand out, but you can't just rely on your mouth and imagination to stand out. You have to work hard with your feet on the ground."
"You said you are like this now..." He simply didn't know how to describe it.
