Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

It’s no wonder that the head of the Hong family, who started from scratch and built up a considerable fortune, did smell unlimited business opportunities in instant noodles.

In addition, after fleeing from famine, the family's savings were robbed by robbers and spent all the money, leaving little after buying the house. Except for his eldest son Hong Fuhai, he did not reveal a single cent to his wife and other two children, for fear of adding to the psychological burden on his family.

However, perhaps it was because the head of the Hong family did such a good job of keeping the secret that after hearing what he and his eldest son were whispering, his wife snorted with disdain, rolled her eyes at them, and sneered, "They are just a bunch of mud legs who have never seen the world. If you get close to them, you will be tainted with poverty and lower your own style. Fu Hai, mother said that you should be more observant and don't try to make connections with anyone, or you will get tainted with them and can't get rid of them."

"That's right, brother. Haven't you seen that those people can't even afford to buy a house? They are so poor that they are just human beings. What connections can a peasant from the countryside have?"

"Mother, second brother, please keep your voices down. It would be embarrassing if someone heard us. Our business is about making friends everywhere. There is no distinction between rich and poor, noble and humble."

"Brother, I think what mother and second brother said is right. Why should we try to build relationships with those peasants? They should be grateful if we can just give them a smile."

The youngest treasure of the Hong family, the 15-year-old girl Hong Xinxin, was influenced by her mother's education through words and deeds, and became as arrogant as her mother, looking down on the peasants in the Lin family's team.

While speaking, she kept fanning her nose with her hand, as if she could smell the poverty and sourness of the Lin family from a distance. Her words were full of sarcasm and sharpness, making her lose the innocence and romance that a girl should have, and add a bit of market meanness.

"That's enough, Third Sister. You keep talking louder and louder. If someone hears you, they'll question your upbringing."

Hong Fuhai reprimanded his sister for speaking too loudly just now, saying that it would be bad if someone heard it. They had just arrived in Wanbao Town and had not yet established a firm foothold. Instead of making connections, they offended people, which was an extremely negative approach for businessmen.

"Why are you being so mean to your sister? What your sister said is not wrong. They are just a bunch of peasants. What can they do about it?" Mrs. Hong rolled her eyes at her son, her tone full of contempt and sarcasm.

As if to refute her eldest son's words, Mrs. Hong spoke even louder than her youngest daughter, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.

The lobby, which was filled with laughter and conversation just now, seemed to have been paused. For a moment, all the noise stopped and everyone looked at Mrs. Hong quietly, as if waiting for her to realize that she had said something inappropriate and felt ashamed of herself.

However, even though countless people were staring at her, Mrs. Hong still didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. On the contrary, when the Lin family looked at her, she rolled her eyes at them, spat coldly, and said arrogantly, "What are you looking at? What's so good about it? I'm talking about you poor damned bastards. Living in the same inn with you is simply lowering our standards. You..."

"That's enough. Have you said enough? Don't you know what the situation is now? You are still speaking so bluntly. It's really meaningless."

The head of the Hong family originally wanted to save some face for his wife outside, and then have a good talk with her after returning to the room. However, his wife did not know what provoked her, and her words became more and more unscrupulous, and she said offensive words without hesitation.

In this case, how could he get along well with these people as he had previously thought?

The head of the Hong family was in great trouble. His previous indulgence towards his wife had now become a sharp knife stabbing at his heart.

It was because he had been busy with business these years and had no time to take care of the family affairs. Now that he finally settled down, he saw that his second son and youngest daughter were spoiled by their mother, looking down on others and being arrogant. The head of the Hong family regretted that he should not have only taken care of business and neglected the upbringing of his second son and youngest daughter.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everyone. My wife hit her head while fleeing from the famine. Now she has hysteria and is talking nonsense. I hope you can forgive me."

The head of the Hong family was embarrassed by his wife, so he stood up and bowed to the Lin family team to apologize with an extremely sincere attitude.

It's just a pity that he has a wife who doesn't know what's right and two children who are spoiled to the point of being brainless, and they always hold him back.

While the head of the Hong family was apologizing to the Lin family's team, the three of them were still shouting and making irresponsible remarks behind them.

The head of the Hong family was in a great headache, so he asked his eldest son Hong Fuhai to drag the three people back to the room with him. As for the unfinished food, forget it, it's not a waste, and he was so angry that he couldn't eat anything else.

Go away quickly, go away quickly. Staying in the lobby will only offend people and you will be ashamed to see others.

The Lin family watched the five members of the Hong family disappear around the corner of the second floor. They felt that they had just witnessed a huge farce, but their mood was not ruined at all by some of the verbal provocations.

If this had happened in the village in the past, the women and children would have put their hands on their hips, put their feet on the chairs, raised their eyebrows, looked gloomy, and started cursing at the Hong family, calling them all kinds of internal organs, birds and beasts.

Now, after experiencing one dangerous situation after another, verbal attacks are like a breeze to them, which will disappear after a breeze and cannot hurt them. They just treat it as the Hong family’s fart.

It can be said that there has been great growth and progress in mentality, which is cause for celebration.

The Hong family's departure from the lobby had no impact on other people; they continued to eat, drink, and chat as usual.

Grandpa Lin even took out the mellow and intoxicating distilled liquor that they had distilled themselves in Yongzhou City and shared it with the three officials.

As soon as it was brought out, the rich aroma of wine instantly filled the lobby, exuding a charming charm, as if everyone was in a rich wine cellar, making many guests who love wine start to get excited.

From the moment Grandpa Lin opened a jar of wine, the three officers' eyes were fixed on the jar, unable to be pulled away.

Of course, they were not the only ones who lost their composure. Even the grown men who had been distilling in the small kitchen for those few days subconsciously recalled the smooth taste and the lingering aftertaste.

Every woman silently nudged her husband or son with her elbow, signaling them to be more restrained as their saliva was about to flow.
