The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Chapter 213 Current Situation

At this moment, the third aunt's mood could no longer calm down. She was thinking quickly in her mind that she would have a detailed discussion with her head of the family after returning home. She must seize this rare opportunity and find ways to please Chunsheng and his family.

Because in her opinion, this kind of relationship is likely to come in handy in the future.

The third aunt asked the first aunt in confusion: "First aunt, look, why is Chunsheng still a rag collector? Since his uncle is so capable, can't he use his connections to help him find a decent, better job?"

When the mother heard this, Hou Jie's series of thorny and tangled affairs instantly emerged in her mind. She couldn't help frowning, her face showing pain, and she felt a splitting headache. She sighed helplessly: "Alas, what else can it be? You know, Chunsheng is really a weird child. He is like a lazy fish all day long. He has no ambition and just wants to live in a muddle. With his lazy attitude, even if the best job in the world is given to him, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep it for long." After speaking, she sighed heavily again.

Then, the godmother continued, "Besides, his uncle was also dissatisfied and contemptuous of Chunsheng. He always felt that Chunsheng was unruly and frivolous, so he hated him and neglected to discipline him on weekdays."

Having said this, my godmother paused for a moment, as if recalling the past, with a trace of regret on her face.

After thinking for a while, the godmother spoke again: "However, things are unpredictable! Who would have thought that the two sons of his uncle's family would both die heroically in that cruel and ruthless war. As a result, now both families are eagerly looking forward to Chunsheng to continue the family bloodline! Therefore, everyone turned a blind eye to Chunsheng's reckless behavior."

"As long as he doesn't cause trouble and is safe and healthy, there's no need to worry too much about other things. As for the quality of life, just let him be! After all, everyone has their own aspirations, and you can't force them!"

After saying that, the godmother shook her head gently, her eyes revealing a bit of helplessness and emotion.

When the third aunt heard this, her contempt for Hou Jie was beyond words. She was full of disdain for his job as a rag collector and thought that such living conditions and identity labels were enough to put Hou Jie at a disadvantage in the marriage market, and it would be extremely difficult for him to find a suitable partner.

Hou Jie's identity as a divorced man is even more discounted in the eyes of Auntie Three, in this era where second-hand men are not popular.

His emotional experience seems to have been eliminated by society. People are more inclined to accept fresh men who have not been baptized by marriage rather than second-hand men who have experienced emotional ups and downs.

However, what makes the third aunt even more sad is that Hou Jie has such a background but doesn't know how to make use of it. He is such a waste. This contrast further highlights the image of Hou Jie as a loser in the eyes of everyone.

The third aunt took this opportunity to sigh deeply, thinking that a man like Hou Jie, who had neither social status nor financial strength and was despised by his ex-wife, was undoubtedly a typical representative of a useless man in real society.

"What should we do? Chunsheng is still so young, divorced, and has such a bad reputation. It will be difficult for him to find a wife in the future."

The third aunt is the main decision-maker in the courtyard. Although she is a little stupid, she is not a bad person. She just gossiped a little, squinted her eyes with great concern, and spoke slowly with a bit of pretense and sympathy.

Godmother is an honest person, she can easily open up to others and sighed;

"Who says it's not true? This child is so worrying."

The godmother had a mission, and she would not tell anyone unless Hou Jie specifically told her to. Although her godson was not very nice, he treated her very well, and the two of them were like mother and son, very close.

Her food, clothing, housing and transportation were all taken care of for her, and she was always filial during the New Year and other festivals. However, her godson specifically told her not to show off her wealth and to keep a low profile.

Now that her godson has agreed to let her pass on the message, it would be better for her to say it directly instead of letting people in the yard guess.

Anyway, his godson's reputation has been ruined, and he doesn't care, nor is he afraid of people spreading rumors.

"She was not satisfied with Chunhua and even went to harm Xueru. The truth will come out sooner or later. The two women broke up as soon as they met."

"With such a good daughter-in-law, I should be content with just one. But Chunsheng is so blind and foolish."

The third aunt didn't care, and couldn't tell who was Chunhua and Xueru. She wasn't too clear about the details, she just knew that Hou Jie had another woman.

I felt sad in my heart, "No wonder! He has a wife but is still fooling around outside. It would be strange if he didn't get a divorce."

This beautiful misunderstanding arose, and no one in the yard had ever seen the two of them.

There were no good people in the yard, and Hou Jie was afraid that they would do something bad, so he hid them well, fearing that they would be wronged.

Although it was a bit inappropriate to laugh, I still asked excitedly, "So, Chunsheng's two wives don't want him anymore?"

The godmother said with a look of disappointment: "That's right! Not only did he end up being kicked out of the house, but he also had a complete falling out with his parents. Chunsheng is now a complete loner, without a penny, and all he has left are these shabby houses."

The three aunts standing by nodded repeatedly in agreement, but they were actually secretly delighted in their hearts, as if they were happy to see that Hou Jie was no longer as glorious and wealthy as before.

"Humph, who told you to always act like a rich kid? You lived a carefree and happy life all day long. Have you ever thought that one day you would end up in such a miserable and destitute situation? It really makes me feel extremely happy!"

This typical common people's hatred of the rich was fully demonstrated at this moment. The godmother then reminded: "Third Aunt, you must pass the message to the other people in the yard. Don't disturb Chunsheng in the near future. Just let him stay alone quietly."

After saying this, the godmother turned and walked towards Hou Jie's home, ready to take good care of her godson.

After watching her godmother leave, the third aunt felt like a powder keg had been lit. The old ladies who usually gathered together to chat about family matters swarmed over and surrounded her.
