Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 898

Xue Ling patted him on the shoulder and said, "What else do you have to worry about, old man? You are very old and your hair has turned white. What else can you not see through?"

"Of course I can see through it myself." Sanbo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I just can't see through what you young people are thinking."

Xue Ling whispered: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so you don't have to worry too much. The two brothers get along well with each other, and the two sisters-in-law will naturally get close in the future. You shouldn't worry too much, and you won't have enough to worry about."

"I'm not worried." Uncle San frowned, "I just feel upset. A good family always has to worry about this and that. If we can really care about everything, then why are there so many injustices in the world."

Xue Ling suppressed a smile and said, "You are so transparent because you are old and wise. When they get older, they will naturally see things through and look down on them."

The third uncle shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This is not a problem of age, but a problem of people's IQ. Your cousin has a long working experience. After the new year, his salary and bonus were increased. The whole family is very happy."

"That's a good thing!" Xue Ling said.

The third uncle sneered: "Your elder sister-in-law went to show off, saying that the department is good and the future is good. Your second sister-in-law became angry, came to me and said in a sour voice, the unit I arranged for the boss is good, but the one I arranged for the second child is not. There’s no future at all, you say I’m biased.”

Xue Ling smiled bitterly.

The third uncle continued: "I wanted to give the second son something to appease him, so I casually gave the two ancient paintings I had collected to the second son. Now the boss was unhappy and said why should the paintings be given to the second son's family? Their family There isn’t even one. The employer’s salary and benefits are good, and that’s also the employer’s business. As a father, I’m too partial to the second son and his family. The painting isn’t worth much, and the painting skills are average. It’s just that it’s older, but it still has collection value. Yes, but it can’t be sold for much money. Now it’s better, I lost two paintings. Not to mention, I am partial in front of the boss, and I am partial in front of the second brother. I am not a human being inside and outside. "

Xue Ling shook his head and smiled: "It's really not easy for you, old man..."

The third uncle couldn't help being curious and asked: "Ling, if it were you, what would you do?"

"Ignore them!" Xue Ling said: "Just do whatever you want! People who care about will always have an unbalanced scale in their hearts. Whatever you do is wrong. But they are careless people. It is easy to change the nature of the country, but it is difficult to change it. Shit, if you can't change their temper, then don't worry about it."

Sanbo nodded: "Maybe... I really listen to you."

Xue Cong on the side listened briefly and whispered: "Uncle, Ling Ling is right. Family affairs are just like this. If you keep cutting them, they will become messy. Ignoring them will be better. The more you sort them out, the messier they will become. Waiting for them to sort them out, they can't sort them out." Never mind."

The third uncle nodded: "Okay, leave them alone."

The three of them picked up the small cups in their hands and drank from them.

Xue Ling reminded: "Although the alcohol content is very low, you can't drink too much. Everyone will have to drive soon."

"Yeah." Xue Cong put down the wine glass.

Looking at her posture, she clearly looked like a master of drinking. Xue Ling couldn't help teasing her, "Sister, how many kilograms can you drink?"

Xue Cong smiled lowly and explained: "I can't do it. I'll be tipsy after just one pound."

The third uncle seemed to remember something, so he leaned over and asked, "Ah Cong, your lover... is he going to be transferred back? Is it temporary? It should be a short-term mission, right?"

"No." Xue Cong smiled slightly and explained: "He couldn't bear that I was too lonely at home, so he planned to transfer back to the imperial capital so that he could spend more time with me." The third uncle was startled and stared in disbelief. .

"You - why didn't you stop him? I don't know what the consequences will be if you make such a move? His base camp is not here to begin with. If you let him escape like this, the consequences may be very serious!"

Xue Cong didn't know how to explain to his third uncle for a moment, his eyes flashed slightly.

The third uncle was very excited and lowered his voice: "Did something happen to him? Why did he suddenly make such a big change? Is there any unusual move from above?"

"...No." Xue Cong lowered his eyes and whispered: "I...I was in a bad mood a while ago, and I blamed him in my heart. I called him and wanted to divorce him."

The third uncle was stunned when he heard this, and then his face darkened again.

"Nonsense! What a nonsense! Ah Cong, has it been easy for him to work hard so far? How could you let him make such a big sacrifice to come back? Can you bear to have his future blocked? His future is so bright, and you know it - how can you Are you suddenly so ignorant? You have always been the calmest and most composed junior in the family!"

Xue Cong's eyes turned slightly red after being scolded by his third uncle.

"I...I was indeed impulsive. But I have no regrets. Third uncle, you don't know how long life can be? In the blink of an eye, I am over 40 years old. I have been married to him for more than 20 years. At most, I don't have to keep an empty house for half a year...I also I will be tired, and I will be tired."

Sanbo was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly.

Xue Cong choked and whispered: "When I got married, the names of two people were clearly written on the marriage certificate. But I was always alone. When I served my parents-in-law, I was alone. When I gave birth to a child in the hospital's delivery room, I was also alone. People. I make money outside and take care of my children at home. I do everything by myself. I take my children to school since they were little, pick them up, help them with their homework, and hold parent-teacher meetings. I have my children with me in the past. Since the year before last, my children have been with me. When I went to study abroad, I was very lonely. My home was empty and my heart was empty. My third uncle, I don’t ask him to have any great career or to be powerful. I am still the same as when I got married. As long as I He loves me and cares for me, just be a responsible man."

Sanbo's eyes turned red and he whispered: "I know... you went to the countryside at that time and suffered a lot of hardships and grievances during the years you lived in his hometown. These years have not been easy for you either. "

"I'm not greedy." Xue Cong shook his head: "I just hope he can spend more time with me. One day a week, even one day a month, I will be satisfied."

The third uncle nodded: "What I just said was too strong. This is a matter between you and your husband. If he is willing to pay so much for you, he must put you first in his heart. You can discuss it and think it is good. The third uncle shouldn't be like that. explain……"

"No, no." Xue Cong hurriedly pressed the old man's hand and said, "You care about me as well as him. If you can scold me like this, I will not be too emotional or too willful. In fact, you can scold me like this. , you are right, I was indeed very impulsive. I have blamed myself before, but I...have no regrets."

Xue Ling smiled softly and said: "You just want to have no regrets in life. If you think it's good, then do it. Brother-in-law, he did this voluntarily, which proves that he is also a person who has confidence in himself. Third uncle, the fate of life is very mysterious. In all things, there are gains and losses, and losses must be gains. My brother-in-law lost some conveniences at work this time, but he took care of his cousin's feelings, saved his wife, and saved the family. A blessing in disguise. Maybe my brother-in-law will have a great opportunity in the future, and maybe he will get to the next level."

"That's right." Sanbo smiled slightly and said, "Some things, if you grasp them too tightly and take them too seriously, will actually arouse fear. If you take them lightly or see through them, change your state of mind and mood. It’s not a bad idea.”

Xue Cong smiled happily, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Xue Ling's.

"That's very well said! Thank you!"

Sanbo pretended to be displeased and couldn't help but ask: "What? You don't need to thank me? Is what I said wrong?"

"Yes, yes!" Xue Ling and her cousin both laughed. They quickly raised their wine glasses and clinked them with the third uncle. They said with a smile, "I wish you a blessing in disguise but a blessing in disguise!"
