Siheyuan: Rebirth 54 years ago, neighbor is stupid

"Shut up!"

Li Tieguo was afraid that Li Zhenmin would say something shocking, so he interrupted him directly by scolding him.

Jiang Tao shivered with fear, her eyes suddenly moistened, and she trembled with guilt and said, "Zhenmin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, grandma didn't mean that, don't think too much, if Xiaoyong did anything wrong, I apologize to you."

Li Zhenmin closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

They are both women and both come from the Hu family, so why are there such big differences between them?

Jiang Tao is such a good woman, such a good stepmother. Li Zhenmin even feels that there is no better stepmother in the world.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Tao and Li Tieguo were brought together. As for the old lady, I used to think she was a very noble and upright person, but I didn't expect that now that her conditions have improved, she would become like this.

But I have to say that there are quite a few people like this, especially in this era.

When you have nothing, you are not willing to bow down for a few pieces of silver. At the same time, you know how to be sensible and not take too much. You know how to be grateful and give back after taking.

However, once wealth and capital reach a certain level...

Maybe these people have never changed. They have always wanted to prove their integrity and never wanted to owe anyone anything. Deep down in their hearts, they have never believed in anyone.

That’s why I want to do something when I grow up, to prove that I am not a mediocre person who can only live well by relying on others.

Do you think this kind of person has any problems with his character? It seems not, on the contrary, he is quite good.

But if this kind of person is your family member, it will sometimes give you a headache. What you hope is that the family members can help each other, and those who have the conditions should not look down on those who don’t, and those who don’t have the conditions should not feel inferior. You should try your best to make the whole family better, but they just want to prove themselves and don’t want to borrow the power of others, which leads to neither of them being good.

You think it's unnecessary, but he thinks everyone should talk about their own affairs, so he thinks your kindness is charity.

What can be done?

Because I have suffered too much, I have developed a kind of stubborn character. This kind of character is a manifestation of inferiority, but it is not something that can be changed just by saying so.

This may even be normal behavior.

On the contrary, Li Zhenmin's ideas are too idealistic.

So Li Zhenmin wanted to scold the old lady for her behavior, but when the words came to his lips, he felt deeply helpless.

Seeing that Li Zhenmin's expression was extremely complicated, Li Tieguo had no choice but to persuade him, "We are a family, let's talk it out."

Then he looked at the old lady and said, "Mom, I understand some of your thoughts, but you really don't have to do this. Maybe your actions may lead to worse consequences."

Perhaps Li Tieguo was not very good at speaking and did not fully express his meaning. The old lady felt uncomfortable after hearing this and thought that Li Tieguo was looking down on her, so she muttered: "I didn't cause you much trouble. It's not necessarily a bad thing to let Xiaoyong handle his own affairs. If he makes a mistake, he can correct it in time. Young people can only learn lessons from their own mistakes, right?"

It's easy to say, and it's true, but Li Zhenmin just doesn't feel happy when he hears it.

Li Zhenmin couldn't help it and said immediately: "Don't be so tactful, I just want to know whether I can take care of this matter today!"

The old lady grumbled, "You can manage it, but...but there's no need. You should let Xiaoyong experience it himself."

Li Zhenmin took a deep breath and said, "You mean Xiaoyong can do whatever he wants, and when he really makes a mistake, I will clean up the mess, right? Answer me, yes or no?"

Further questioning directly blocked the old lady's ambiguous retreat.

Seeing this, Jiang Tao quickly advised: "No, no, no, Zhenmin, you are the eldest brother, so you can take care of your younger brother at any time. Your grandma doesn't mean that."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the old lady waved her hand and said, "If you think Xiaoyong will make a mistake, if you dislike Xiaoyong for bringing you trouble, you can ignore it. I never said I want you to care!"

quiet--

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Zhenmin was irritated by the old lady's words, and the old lady was also irritated by Li Zhenmin's tough questioning attitude.

Seeing this, Li Tieguo wanted to push Li Zhenmin out.

However, Li Zhenmin had been through so much these days and was already full of anger. He no longer cared about respecting the elderly and loving the young. He already thought that the family had become like this because of the old lady's increasing interference, so why would he care so much?

So, she got angry and interrupted Li Tieguo's persuasion. She stared at the old lady and said coldly, "Ask yourself! I have never looked down on or disliked Xiaoyong, nor have I deliberately arranged Xiaoyong's life. I fully respect his personal ideas. But grandma, how do you know whether Xiaoyong will make a mistake? Will he go astray?"

"I'm guiding him, so you think I'm controlling him? I don't want to argue about this. I just want to ask, if Xiaoyong is allowed to handle things on his own, at his age, how much does he know about the evil of human nature? How much does he know about what to do and what not to do?"

"Who will be responsible if he goes astray? Will you be responsible?"

The old lady immediately became angry. Li Zhenmin was too disrespectful to her, so she opened her mouth to refute: "I said, it's none of your business, you don't have to be responsible, what Xiaoyong does is his own business!"

Li Tieguo thought something was wrong and wanted to push Li Zhenmin out, but Li Zhenmin simply pushed him away and almost knocked him to the ground.

Before Li Tieguo could stand up, Li Zhenmin said again: "What was I doing when I was 16 or 18? Did I get the same treatment as Xiaoyong? My father doesn't care about me, so am I just a street urchin now?"

"My dad has always treated Xiaoyong as his own son, right? He gave his job to Xiaoyong, not to Li Wanying, right? So this house will belong to Xiaoyong in the future, right?"

"As a father, can't he take care of Xiaoyong? Why are you interfering?"

"As an older brother, I see my younger brother being used by someone with bad intentions, and living like a lapdog in front of his girlfriend. I haven't treated Xiaoyong badly over the years, right? Can't I correct the path he has taken?"

"Don't let me take care of it? Then you will teach Xiaoyong? What can you teach?"

"You taught Xiaoyong. When Xiaoyong was a child, he had no food to eat and was beaten by kids on the street? Then he developed a character that was inferior to others in everything? He always felt that he was inferior to others?"

"You taught Xiaoyong and didn't let others interfere, but Xiaoyong has been living like Malanlan's dog all these years? Neighbors have said a lot, didn't you hear it or are you pretending not to hear it?"

"Is this all caused by me and my dad?"

"Answer me, according to your method, will it turn a good-looking child who has finally gotten rid of his inferiority complex and become cheerful back into a dog?"

Li Zhenmin became more and more excited as he spoke, and the old lady's face became darker and darker.

The old lady's self-esteem got the better of her and she couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she wanted to retort, but Li Zhenmin didn't give her a chance at all.
