Chapter 137 A Short Story of Human Relationships
At dinner time in the evening, Liu Yue told Wang Luo about Jia Zhang's visit to her today, sending eggs.

"Let's just not be rude. When Qin Huairu has another child, we'll go over to take a look. I know their little tricks. They're just trying to make fun of her. You know what this child is like. He's really smart. I just don't know what he'll be like when he grows up. He's spoiled too much. It'll be better if we can balance his family with the second uncle's family!"

After listening to this, Wang Luo shook his head and said.

No one is a fool. If you expect a person to change in an instant, that is simply impossible. The only reason is that there is something involved. His family is one of the best in the whole street. They have food to eat, drinks to drink, and connections. Everyone wants to have some connections so that they can help when something goes wrong. It's just human nature to admire the strong. Whoever has ability, there will always be a group of people following to build relationships with him. It is like this now and in the future. Wang Luo sees this very clearly.

He had encountered this kind of thing in his previous life. It is said that in his hometown village, there was a family named Zhou. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, their family ran a pawnshop and lent money. In that era, people who did this kind of thing must be rich. They owned land, houses, and were extremely wealthy.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. The man died, leaving only the mistress with two children, one seven years old and the other six years old. The mistress was the second wife, a concubine. The first wife had died, so she was considered the regular wife. It was a wartime era, with chaos and chaos. She was an illiterate woman who didn't know how to run a business, so she could only live off her savings. According to Wang Luo's grandmother, how did their family eat at that time? My goodness, other people were lucky to have enough to eat, but their family had to make pancakes with eggs, which was so luxurious.

Okay, this kind of person who has no pillar of support in the family is bullied at will. It's just like a big piece of fat meat. It makes people jealous. The people in the same village are also jealous. I eat coarse food, but you have fish and meat. Out of jealousy, I told a group of bandits on the east bank of the river.

The bandits on the east bank of the river knew about this and wanted to rob them. Fortunately, a man from the same village was also a bandit. He felt that they were all from the same village and could not stand by and watch them get harmed. When the bandits came, he said to the leader, "I am from the same village as him and I know his family well. I will go and scout the way for the leader first. If they are at home, we can catch them together and get all the hidden treasures in their house."

When the boss heard this, he thought, "That's feasible. Go ahead." The bandit from the same village jumped over the courtyard wall. He didn't try to find out what was going on. Instead, he woke up the sleeping hostess and said to her, "Bandits are coming. I found an excuse to come in and tell you. Hurry up and jump out of the back window. It's important to save your life."

The hostess took her two children, Zhou Da and Zhou Er, and ran away through the back window. A bandit from the same village came out to inform the boss, but there was no one there when they ran away. After they came back, they didn't find anything valuable, so they had to return disappointed. Now it was over. The Zhou family owed this bandit from the same village three life-saving favors. They told the two children to repay their savior in the future.

Later, the new country was established and the class status was divided. Because of several years of extravagant eating and drinking, the Zhou family was completely reduced to decline. They had nothing, no money, no land. No problem, they were classified as poor peasants. Don't think that the story ends here, because this is just the beginning.

After the classification was completed, she, a concubine, did not know how to farm. They were hungry and cold, and their two children cried with hunger. Wang Luo's grandmother had already married and moved to the village. Seeing the two children were pitiful, she made some steamed buns and a small salted fish and shared them with the children. Wang Luo's grandfather and his eldest brother also actively helped with farming and harvesting. They helped a lot.

Later, Zhou Da and Zhou Er grew up. It has to be said that there is nothing they can do about their good genes. As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son can dig holes. The male owner of the Zhou family had such a big business in his time, and his two sons were not bad either. They were smart since they were young, and they were poor peasants with a good family background. So they decided to join the army. As a result, Zhou Da joined the army, and after serving for a few years, he was discharged from the army and took a job in the village.

Because Zhou Da had good abilities, good relationships with people, and was a retired soldier, he was transferred to the county and the prefecture, and finally worked his way up to the position of Tongpan. This was an awesome position, especially in the countryside, where he was a rare big shot.

A group of people are just trying to flatter others, using their hometown sentiments to build relationships, asking others to find jobs for their children, etc.

Especially the hostess of the Zhou family, who was now Old Lady Zhou, 96 years old, and was about to die. As the fallen leaves return to their roots, she returned to her hometown. Alas, Wang Luo saw it with his own eyes. People from the entire village rushed to take night duty and take care of Old Lady Zhou, even more than they would take care of their own parents. Noodles, fruits, and all kinds of things were sent to her home for free.

Wang Luo's uncle asked Wang Luo's grandmother: "Other people go to give gifts and take care of the night watch, why don't we go to see them?"

Wang Luo's grandmother was also an old lady in her 70s at that time. She replied, "When they are in trouble, we are from the same village. We should help them and don't expect anything in return. Now that they are prosperous, don't flatter them. What's the point of going there? Are you going to take credit for them? Are you going to let them remember our past achievements? We are just an ordinary family. It's okay after the big scene is over. When Mrs. Zhou passes away, we can just go there to pay our condolences!"

Therefore, there were only two families in the whole village who did not rush to flatter. One was Wang Luo's grandmother's family, and the other was the descendant of the bandit who had saved Zhou's mother and son. The two daughters of the descendant of the bandit had no great ability, so they did not want to join in the fun. There was no other way. At the beginning of the century, if you did not have a son, you would have no face, and you would have no descendants. Many people in the village looked down on you. As for the later, haha, it was very interesting. After the death of the old lady of the Zhou family, the whole family left the village. Those flatterers did not even pay attention to them, and they could not even see them. On the contrary, Wang Luo's grandmother's family and the descendant of the bandit found all kinds of ways to help, arranging jobs for them, and managing relationships. When Wang Luo's grandmother died, the two brothers were already 70 years old. They brought their family to mourn, kowtowed to Wang Luo's grandmother, and completed the friendship of the year.

This incident touched Wang Luo deeply, and he figured out a truth, which is, "No one is a fool. If you rush to get something, it's not a good deal. If you want to make friends with someone, don't expect to get any rewards. Don't interact with people for any benefits. Human touch is the most important. What should come will come naturally, and what shouldn't come, don't force it."

So in his previous life, whether Wang Luo was at work, at home or in the community, he could chat with anyone, take time to have a meal or drink a little wine, but he treated everyone equally and never deliberately flattered anyone, not even his leader. Many colleagues said that he was stupid. Haha, when they were laughing at Wang Luo for being stupid, maybe they were the real fools. Why do you think your flattery will be useful? You are just a chess piece on someone else's chessboard. The most important thing is to see yourself clearly, and eat as much as you can.

It's the same in this world, anyone can talk a little, whether you are poor or rich, an official or a civilian, you will be treated the same, just like Zhou Changli and Wang Yadong, if I like you, I will help you, but I don't like that group of kids from the compound, sorry, you want to learn something from me, grandma, I won't pay attention to you, no way, putting them together and educating them by myself is the factor of Wang Zhonghua's generation, it's the friendship of the elders, not these little brats, they are domineering and self-righteous, Wang Luo can't stand their domineering attitude and the way they feel they are superior.

Probably, except Yi Zhonghai, everyone in the courtyard wanted to get on good terms with Wang Luo's family. Yi Zhonghai was an eighth-level fitter with a high salary and a strong status. He was also the eldest uncle in the courtyard. Apart from providing for his retirement, he had no other demands and felt that he was tough enough. So after Wang Luo's grandfather passed away, Wang Luo was just a kid and it was no big deal, so Yi Zhonghai tried every means to preach to him and establish his authority as an eighth-level fitter and the eldest uncle in the courtyard. As long as he could subdue a kid of Wang Luo's status, no one in the courtyard would disobey him. Unfortunately, he lost more than he gained. Wang Luo was a time traveler and had a status. How could he be afraid of a little Karami like you? He immediately retorted. Now he would never say anything about Wang Luo, and of course he wouldn't flatter him. He was just an ordinary neighbor and had no desires or demands for Wang Luo's family.

Others are different. Liu Haizhong wants to be an official. Although he cannot be one in his current condition, he still has such a dream. Wang Luo is a person in a circle. If he can make a few suggestions, he can climb up by any means.

Yan Bugui likes to take advantage of small things, and he also has to consider the future jobs of his children, so he also hopes to make friends with Wang Luo.

The Jia family are just ordinary neighbors, and they even had conflicts before, but now they are here for the sake of the joke. They just want to get in touch with Wang Luo and learn some skills so that they can get some advice and have a good future.

The other residents also have their own plans. Look, this is the way of the world in the courtyard.

However, Wang Luo would not take the initiative to ask for help. If you help one person, there will be a second one. It is okay to just get through the social etiquette of the big scene. That is personal relationship. If it involves other things, problems will easily arise.

"I'm eating. Congratulations, Zhuzi, sister-in-law. You're going to have a baby soon. I heard the news when I just came back, so I rushed over to congratulate you. Here are some local specialties for you to replenish your body. Well, I'm getting married the day after tomorrow, and Xiao Luo happens to be there, so I came over to inform you, Zhuzi, don't forget to be the chef!"

At this time, Xu Damao's horse face appeared. He was holding something with a smile, bowed and said.

"Of course, just leave it to me. Have you eaten it? If not, just take a bite. Don't be disgusted!"

Sha Zhu readily agreed and invited him immediately.

"That's great, I won't be polite!"

After sitting down, they picked up a steamed bun and started eating, talking about their wedding plans while eating. It was not until after nine o'clock that they dispersed.
