What should our Fang family do if you drag us down
At first glance, this sentence sounds familiar.
After thinking about it for a while, he remembered that this was what he said when he was arguing with his wife Fang Yijing in the room just now. Of course, this is what he said: Sooner or later, we will be dragged down by your family.
It felt natural when I said it, with anger and resentment. Why does it sound so sharp and harsh when it sounds, full of ridicule and ridicule
Zhou Fan understood that Fang Yan was seeking revenge.
He listened to what he just said, and then repaid himself in the same way - I have to say, stabbing himself to death with his own poisonous sword, this feeling was really frustrating and uncomfortable.
Zhou Fan's face was livid, and he stared at Fang Yan with angry eyes and said, "Fang Yan, how are you talking? After all, I am also your uncle and your elder - how can you be so insignificant? Didn’t I say that you Yanziwu villagers are the most particular about etiquette? Is this what you call etiquette?"
Fang Yan laughed and said, "Uncle, are you angry?"
"—" Zhou Fan felt like he was stabbed in the chest again. No, it was one blow after another, without stopping at all. "It's okay to be angry." Fang Yan said with a smile. "Because when I heard what you said, I was also very angry—"
"—"
"Uncle, in fact, our Yanziwu is a reasonable place. We not only follow etiquette, but also reason. If others respect us, we will respect others. This is the etiquette of reciprocity. I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will offend him. This is the principle of clear distinction between grudges and grudges. If you don't teach us etiquette and don't reason with us, we at Yanziwu will naturally not show etiquette and reason to you."
"So you have a reason to insult your elders in this way?" Zhou Fan sneered. He hadn't suffered such humiliation in many years, and Fang Yan's behavior was tantamount to breaking up with him in person.
"How is it an insult? This is the principle that if someone offends me, I will offend others. This is the first iron law of our Yanziwu existence for thousands of years. I know, I always thought that you looked down on our Fang family. Your Zhou family is in the bank of Mingzhu The system is also considered the number one person. What do we have in the Fang family? A lame man, a drunkard, a nerd, a woman and a child - living in an old house in a deserted village. What can we do with anything?" "We understand. My sister-in-law’s difficulties. We don’t want to expose her, and we don’t want to embarrass her in the middle. She has her parents, brother and sister-in-law on one side, and her husband and son on the other. The palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh. Which side can she stand on? My sister-in-law said you are very busy, we Just treat it like you are really busy. My sister-in-law said you didn’t have time to come back, so we comforted her and said it doesn’t matter, we can just come back together next time.”
"My sister-in-law is my sister-in-law, my father's sister, and my grandfather's daughter. We all hope that she can live a happy life, and we hope that she will not suffer any grievances in your Zhou family - we feel that we should be more tolerant to you and treat you better. Take care of her, and you will feel our kindness and treat my sister-in-law better."
"Obviously, you don't have such a consciousness. You regard tolerance as cowardice, and you regard caring as flattery. To you, our Fang family is just a piece of worthless food, tasteless to eat, and shameful after abandoning it. Come here this time, how do you feel? It must be very complicated, right?”…
"Fang Yan, that's just your personal opinion - let her say what I think of your sister-in-law." Zhou Fan said defensively.
Fang Yan nodded in recognition of Zhou Fan's words and said, "I don't deny this. To be honest, you are really good to my sister-in-law. If you were not good to my sister-in-law, our Fang family would have come to ask for an explanation. Grandpa. I have entrusted you with the daughter you have raised like a treasure for more than 20 years, why do you treat her badly?"
"You have always been worried that our Fang family will drag you down, and you think that coming to our Fang family is a waste of time. From the moment your car stopped at the gate of our Fang family's yard, you were full of hostility - or rather angry. Because of our presence, so That’s why you had to go on this trip with my sister-in-law. Uncle, in the past we considered my sister-in-law and we thought everything didn’t matter. But you have been belittling and insulting us more and more time and time again. As a member of the Fang family, I have to stand up and say Bottom line: You’re an idiot.”
Fang Yan pointed to his legs and said: "You can't even see such thick thighs? You still think about hugging other people's thighs all day long - what do you mean by saying you're not an idiot? I've heard of figures in official circles before Your eyes are bright, are your eyes covered with shit?”
Zhou Fan was so angry at Fang Yan's words that he pointed at Fang Yan and said, "Fang Yan, I don't understand, what are you so proud of? It's because your Fang family has a good relationship with the Ye family, and just because the Ye family let You go to help pour the wine - do you think this is the capital you rely on? Is this the capital you are proud of? If that's all, that's too embarrassing, right?"
Fang Yan lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I am very rich, I won't lie to you."
"—"
Fang Yan waved his hand to Zhou Fan and said, "I call you uncle, and you must not let me down. Goodbye, uncle."
Fang Yan waved his hand, took away the snow and left.
Zhou Fan stood there, his face as pale as the snow on his feet.
He stamped his feet heavily and said with a sneer: "I want to see how arrogant you can be."
When Fang Yan arrived at Ye's house, Ye Fengsheng was playing ice hockey with his cousins at the door of the yard.
The leading drivers were all arranged in the side hall of the yard. They drank tea and cracked melon seeds and watched the children playing games with kind smiles on their faces.
Seeing Fang Yan coming, Ye Fengsheng threw the hockey puck in his hand to his cousin Ye Zi, faced Fang Yan and said, "Lunch is about to start. Third uncle said that he will let you in directly when you arrive."
Fang Yan looked at Ye Fengsheng and asked, "Why doesn't Third Uncle let you go in to pour wine?"
Ye Fengsheng curled his lips and said, "Third uncle may think that I am too fat and it would not look good for one person to occupy two positions."
Fang Yan naturally knew that this could not be the reason. He patted Ye Fengsheng's shoulder and comforted him and said, "It may be the sequelae of the Maple Leaf Club incident. He probably wants to add fuel to our fire."
Ye Fengsheng put his arm around Fang Yan's shoulders and said, "Do you need to explain to me? Isn't it the same for us brothers who can go in? I don't want to go in yet. Once I go in, I just want to eat fat meat - small bites are not enough. You eat a lot and don't look good on others. It's better to hide in the kitchen and eat to your heart's content."
Fang Yan patted his brother on the shoulder and walked towards the Ye family's living room.
The Ye family has two living rooms, one of which is used to entertain foreign guests. It is spacious, luxurious and magnificent. There is also one used for gatherings in my own home. Although it is smaller and more simple, it looks warmer and more welcoming. Except when foreign guests come over, the Ye family rarely uses the meeting room outside.
Fang Yan has been to Ye's house countless times and is familiar with the architecture of Ye's house.
Across the hall is the small courtyard, and across the lawn is the side hall. To the left is the concrete path to the main living room, and to the right is the gravel path to the Ye family's inner house.
Fang Yan walked onto the concrete path, stood at the door of the living room and looked in.
Ye Daoling sat on the main seat, accompanied by an older man. There were several middle-aged people around the same age as Ye Daoling sitting on the left and right sides. They did not use two rows of huanghuali wood chairs on both sides of the living room. Although it looked formal and solemn, it would easily distance people from each other.
They were sitting on a sofa seat that was also made of rosewood. Although it was a little crowded, it made their relationship look more intimate and harmonious. As a wise politician, Ye Daoling cannot fail to understand these details.
Seeing Fang Yan appear at the door of the living room, Ye Daoling waved to Fang Yan and said, "Come here, I'm waiting for you."
Fang Yan walked up to Ye Daoling, took the initiative to fill the cup with tea in front of everyone present, and said with a smile: "Hello, leaders, I am here to serve the leaders."
Ye Daoling pointed at Fang Yan and said to his colleagues: "This is the Fang Yan I mentioned to you just now. Although this guy's surname is Fang, I have always treated him as a nephew - he is very naughty. If it weren't for him After performing in the Maple Leaf Club, I couldn't get the advantage I have in front of me."
Everyone looked at Fang Yan and flattered Ye Daoling.
The white-haired old man said in a deep voice: "I've also heard those rumors, saying that Dao Ling got lucky - it's really ridiculous. This is an appointment from the state, how can it be a child's play? Such people can only say things behind their backs. If you dare to talk about gossip in person, I will tell him about it."
"Minister Ye is the one everyone expects. We are sincerely convinced that you are in this position."
"I also want to get lucky and move my butt forward - but I have been looking forward to it for so many years, but I have never waited for such an opportunity. Hahaha -" -
Ye Daoling smiled calmly, looked at Fang Yan and said: "All of you here are your elders. You can toast them a few more glasses later. When you come to our Yanziwu as a guest, it's okay if you don't entertain well in other aspects. If you don't drink the wine well, then No. It’s the annual vacation period now, so there’s no need to worry about them making mistakes.”
Fang Yan nodded in agreement and said, "I listen to my third uncle."
Only then did Fang Yan understand that Ye Daoling had brought him here to build up momentum and introduce some contacts to him.
Perhaps, he was also worried that his family would vent their hatred on Fang Yan.
