Siheyuan: Rebirth 54 years ago, neighbor is stupid

Li Zhenmin's expression turned serious, and he said, "At least in today's world, women can argue with men, they can make trouble with men, and sometimes they can make decisions for men, but these should be done in private, not in public."

"At home, no matter how much a couple quarrels, there is always room for easing up, but outside, they must give each other face. Men must give face to women, and women must also give face to men."

"Generally speaking, women are assistants to men in their lives or careers, but when we first met, she didn't help you and didn't even say hello to me. She didn't say hello to me this time either, and she even taught you how to do things in front of many people, without any regard for your dignity."

Hearing this, Hu Yong's face froze. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true. Ma Lanlan didn't seem to care about his feelings that much. He just always thought that it was a small matter and there was no need to worry about it...

However, Li Zhenmin stared into Hu Yong's eyes and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it was her idea for you to come and talk to me. She had already taught you how to do this and that beforehand, but you didn't want to say something at the last minute, so she forced you to do it."

"What does this mean? It means that you have been a puppet controlled by her from the beginning to the end. Even if you occasionally have a sense of resistance, it will be wiped out by her dominance."

"It means she is controlling you. It means you are compromising and living a humble life in front of love."

“Whether it’s life or career, sometimes you do need to make concessions and compromise with your significant other, but the prerequisite is that the other person is really much better than you, and the opinions given will play a positive role.”

"But she has no skills, her mind is immature, and her temper is self-righteous, so the results she makes often go in a bad direction."

"I even thought that it was her idea that you came to me to talk about the job transfer this time, and she has forced you many times. Indeed, as long as you come to me and tell me, I will agree, but have you ever thought that this kind of cleverness is very childish and will make me have a worse impression of both her and you?"

"You and I are a family. How can she interfere in family affairs? She hasn't married you yet. If she did, that would be terrible."

He said a lot in one breath, and Li Zhenmin became more and more excited.

The more Hu Yong listened, the more frightened he became, thinking that he had really pissed off his elder brother!

He wanted to persuade her, but Li Zhenmin didn't give him a chance to speak. He raised his voice and asked, "Is she accusing me of being mean to you? Does she think I don't treat you as my brother?"

"You didn't go to the countryside. I helped you, right?"

"You've taken root in the factory so quickly, and you have a master who is teaching you for free. You haven't encountered any obstacles, right? The factory didn't deliberately pick on you to block your promotion, right? I helped with all this, right?"

"The house over there in the compound originally belonged to me, but now it's all given to you directly. You don't have to worry about having nowhere to live when you get married and have children. This is also my initiative, right?"

"Tell me honestly, who is so kind to a stepmother's son? Or have you ever seen a biological brother treat his biological brother so well?"

"Isn't it obvious whether I treat you as my own brother?"

"But what Malanlan did, did she ever treat me as her elder brother? She didn't even say hello, didn't even give me a polite smile, but instigated you to talk about these trivial matters. Isn't this trying to alienate the relationship between you and me as brothers?"

"Do you think I am narrow-minded or that there is something wrong with her?"

"People who can do these things are either stupid or evil! They are either really stupid and don't understand anything, or they are pretending not to know, but they are evil with ulterior motives in their bones!"

"And if you think about it carefully, is she stupid or bad?"

Li Zhenmin finished speaking all at once as if venting his anger, and the room fell into deathly silence for a moment.

Hu Yong opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.

Li Zhenmin's questions kept echoing in his mind. It seemed that Li Zhenmin was blaming Ma Lanlan, but Hu Yong was pinning all of them on himself.

Yeah, isn’t brother good enough to myself?

Not to mention the stepfather's son, even if it is the biological eldest brother, few can really do this. How many people who have achieved success despise their brothers and sisters and family members for holding them back, but Li Zhenmin has never shown such behavior.

My greed has been growing over the years. I always feel that what I get is what I deserve, and that it is normal that I have not encountered difficulties in my career and life. However, I have ignored the real efforts of my elder brother.

Compared to the time before I became a family with Li Zhenmin, what kind of life was I living, and what kind of life am I living now?

Either stupid or bad....

Am I stupid or bad?

There aren't many people in the world who are this stupid, right? There aren't many people who get benefits but really can't feel it, right?

So....knowing that you have already gotten a lot, but acting as if it is a matter of course, isn't that bad?

So when did you start to have this idea and view?

When did I start to change?

It seems that all this is really related to Malanlan...

When Hu Yong slowly shifted the focus of the conflict to Ma Lanlan, it was destined that this idea would never disappear. Even if it was just a trace, this idea would slowly begin to ferment and eventually grow stronger.

After all, who would only look for their own faults? Even kind-hearted people would have a rebuttal mentality and would subconsciously look for some reasons from others, right?

And this is exactly the effect Li Zhenmin wanted. After saying so much, wasn't it just to let Hu Yong think? If this is not enough, he will show more excitement and anger, so that Hu Yong will have to think seriously.

Seeing Hu Yong's face gradually darken, Li Zhenmin poured him another cup of tea and said slowly: "I am not trying to destroy your feelings or decide for your feelings."

"To put it bluntly, who you date or marry, whether the other person is good or bad, will not have much impact on me. It will not cause any trouble to my life or bring much benefit."

"The reason I told you so much is because we are a family, and I don't want my parents to worry about you in the future."

After he finished speaking, Li Zhenmin stopped talking and quietly gave Hu Yong time to make fun of himself.

Hu Yong was silent for a long time, and said with a tangled look: "I know what you said makes sense, and I can't refute it, but I still want to fight for it. We have been dating for a long time. If Ma Lanlan has so many shortcomings, I am willing to give her time to correct them. I also hope that you can give her some time."

"Just like me, I had some misunderstandings about you because I was ignorant. If you didn't tell me, it would be difficult for me to realize it on my own. It would take a long time for me to realize it and correct it. I think he should be the same. Although he has many shortcomings, I believe he didn't mean it. He just wasn't sensible enough."

"I want to have a good chat with her. If possible, I hope you can meet with her to get to know her better. What if she realizes the problem and is willing to correct it in time?"

Hu Yong looked at Li Zhenmin with pleading eyes.

He respected Li Zhenmin, and because he valued Li Zhenmin's opinion, he hoped that Li Zhenmin could give him some time and not directly reject his relationship.
