Chapter 569 Can you not be a saint? Take Fan Shengmei as an example
In order to bring her mother to Shanghai and away from her father, the domestic violence man, Yu Chuhui directly asked her friends to treat Zhou Chen to a meal and asked for his opinion.
After all, if my mother comes over, she will definitely live in the rental house. Yu Chuhui feels it is necessary to let Zhou Chen, the landlord, know, so that Zhou Chen won’t give them a cold shoulder.
After hearing the reason for the incident, Zhou Chen did not make things difficult for Yu Chuhui. Instead, he expressed his agreement, for which Yu Chuhui expressed his gratitude.
"Zhou Chen, it's really great that you have such an attitude. I also happen to need you guys help with something. I hope you can help me when the time comes."
Seeing that Zhou Chen agreed, and thinking about his own affairs, Zhu Zhe also spoke.
Everyone's attention was focused on Zhu Zhe. You know, Zhou Chen had praised Zhu Zhe's abilities many times. I wonder if she needed help with anything?
Zhu Zhe said somewhat embarrassedly: "In fact, this is a family scandal after all, but I believe you will know it soon, so there is no need to hide it.
I should have said last time that I am the eldest in the family, with younger brothers and sisters, and there is a tendency to favor boys over girls in my family, so I shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family.
I pay for my younger brother and sister's college tuition, but I also have my own principles. I hope they can work part-time to earn money for their living expenses.
Unfortunately, he has biased parents who tighten their belts to support their son, so the result is that he has become a spoiled brat from a poor family."
After hearing this, everyone finally understood that the so-called playboy from a poor family was a spoiled child. No one expected that Zhu Zhe's family was like this. They felt a little sympathy for Zhu Zhe.
Just when He Minhong wanted to express her opinion, Zhou Chen pushed her and signaled her not to speak. Zhu Zhe had not finished speaking yet, so it was better not to interrupt at this time.
He Minhong immediately shut up after Zhou Chen threatened him, and this scene made others laugh.
It turns out that in addition to Yu Chuhui's unreasonable mouth, Zhou Chen's intimidating eyes are also needed to deal with He Minhong. These will make He Minhong give in.
The laughter of the crowd made He Minhong lower her head, and the timid girl became scared again.
Not wanting the atmosphere to become too awkward, Zhu Zhe continued, "What's even more frustrating for me is that now that they've graduated from university, their mindsets haven't changed.
They think that since I can give tens of thousands of dollars to support them every year, I should be able to do so now.
Haha, now they want to suck my blood, of course I don’t agree. After all, they are adults, and I have been working for several years when I was their age. It is obviously impossible for them to expect me to support them.
Now they are making trouble again. This Saturday, my younger brother and sister are coming to Shanghai to buy wedding dowry, and my younger brother is even bringing his girlfriend and her mother to Shanghai for medical treatment.
I believe that they will definitely come to see my residence at that time, so I am prepared to put on a show. I, Zhu Zhe, am not their blood-sucking bag. I am poor and destitute now and there is no way I can help them.
I want them to learn to be self-reliant, so I hope you can help me hide my actual situation.
I'm afraid I'll have to leave some of the things in my room with you. Don't worry, they'll be back in a few days at most."
After hearing Zhu Zhe's intention, everyone expressed their agreement and were very willing to help.
Only He Minhong started to act like a saint again. She had been holding back and finally spoke.
"Sister Zhu, I also support your decision, but isn't it too much for you to do this?
After all, they are your family. If they knew that you had resorted to deception, they would be sad. Besides, they didn't necessarily come here to ask you for money, did they?
Maybe they have returned to the right path, and wouldn't your actions have hurt their feelings?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at He Minhong in silence.
Yu Chuhui wanted to scold He Minhong, but was stopped by Zhu Zhe.
Facing He Minhong's accusations, Zhu Zhe did not feel embarrassed. Instead, she smiled and explained, "They are my brothers and sisters. I know what kind of people they are."
Zhu Zhe did not continue speaking because she seemed to be saying that He Minhong's worries were unnecessary.
Just when He Minhong was about to say something, Zhou Chen pointed the finger at He Minhong and said, "He Minhong, could you please stop being so chaste?
Everyone else is supporting Zhu Zhe's decision, but you are the only one trying to sabotage it. Do you know her brothers and sisters better than Zhu Zhe?
Didn’t I just tell you a few days ago that you shouldn’t make random comments about people you don’t know? Your so-called prodigal son should at least be able to be self-reliant.
If Zhu Zhe's younger brothers and sisters can be self-reliant, I believe Zhu Zhe would be willing to open his heart to treat them, after all, they are blood relatives.
I also told you not to advise others to be kind unless you have experienced their suffering. If you have brothers and sisters sucking your blood, they want to make money from you every month.
When you can still help them consistently, then you can lecture Zhu Zhe. Otherwise, your words will be worthless."
Haha, He Minhong was scolded by Zhou Chen again. She wanted to refute, but she didn't know what to say. She could only subconsciously hide behind Ye Zhenzhen next to her.
Everyone was speechless again at this scene. After experiencing so many things, why didn't He Minhong grow at all?
Zhou Chen stopped staring at He Minhong and looked at Zhu Zhe and said, "Zhu Zhe, I agree with your approach. I appreciate your principled approach.
I have a good case study to share with you, and I hope you can learn something from it.”
At this time, Zhou Chen suddenly thought of Fan Shengmei. Perhaps he could use Fan Shengmei's story to warn Zhu Zhe.
Others also became interested. They didn’t know what Zhou Chen meant by the case. Was he going to tell a story?
Seeing that everyone pricked up their ears, as if waiting to listen, Zhou Chen said, "I used to have a friend named Fan Shengmei. Her situation was similar to Zhu Zhe's, except that she was the younger sister of the family.
Their family also favors boys over girls. In the eyes of her parents, raising a daughter is to subsidize their son. Therefore, Fan Shengmei is still not married at the age of 31, and all the money she earns is used to subsidize her family.
She finally bought a house in her hometown. The down payment was hers and she paid the mortgage, but the house did not belong to her. The old couple planned to leave the house to their son.
In order to pay for her father's medical treatment, Fan Shengmei sold her house. As a result, her brother resented her for several years. Every time they met, he forced Fan Shengmei to pay back the money from selling the house. In the end, there was no family affection between them anymore.
Haha, Fan Shengmei has no principles of her own. As long as her parents cry and make a fuss, and use filial piety as moral blackmail, she will obediently help her family. This kind of help without bottom line will only encourage their arrogance.
Needless to say, the final result is that the older Fan Shengmei gets, the harder it is for her to marry, because no one wants to marry a Fu Ge demon. Marrying Fan Shengmei is equivalent to being responsible for their entire family.
Although Fan Shengmei eventually got married, they divorced after a few years. Fan Shengmei spent most of her life trapped in her family, trapped in the cage woven by her parents. She spent half her life living for others.
Zhou Chen used Fan Shengmei as an example. He felt that their family situations were similar, but their endings were different.
Zhu Zhe, who started working early, has seen through the dangers of society. This also allows Zhu Zhe to see the true face of her family, so she is careful about how much she helps her family.
Others find it hard to believe. Is there really a family like Fan Shengmei's in society?
Anyway, Ye Zhenzhen found it hard to understand. She was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family and her family was very happy.
Yu Chuhui did not express her opinion. She had an unhappy family and a father who was a domestic abuser. She felt that her father was as shameless as Fan Shengmei's parents.
He Minhong, who wanted to refute just now, also fell silent. Fan Shengmei is really miserable. Is this the result of unlimited indulgence of family members?
Will the same result happen if Sister Zhu continues to help her younger siblings?
He Minhong didn't dare to think any further. Having grown up in a happy family, she felt that society had slapped her in the face again.
The person involved, Zhu Zhe, also frowned. She didn't think too much about it, but Fan Shengmei's case did alert her. It seems that she should be a little harder on her family.
"Zhu Zhe, if you don't have your own principles, you will be like Fan Shengmei, and you will have no future of your own.
In my opinion, you should give your parents a sum of pension every month. As for other people in the family, it has nothing to do with you. As a person, you should do it with a clear conscience.
You also want your younger brothers and sisters to have a good future, but some people are really hopeless, or as you said just now, they are poor playboys.
Haha, as a playboy, I have money and I can do whatever I want, and even earn myself the reputation of a prodigal son, but can they?
The more they make trouble, the more it will trouble your family and you, and this will only lead to endless internal friction.
If you don't want to face this situation, you can't be too indulgent to your family. You must let them see the reality earlier, so I support your decision.
I think this acting is too soft. You should directly point out that they have graduated from college and will no longer help them. They should learn to be self-reliant. This will be more of a warning."
Zhu Zhe was silent for a while about Zhou Chen's suggestion before saying, "I will consider this matter, but we have to take things one step at a time. Don't be in a hurry. We'll see how the situation develops when the time comes."
Obviously, Zhu Zhe couldn't do such a cruel thing at the moment. She wanted to see how her younger brothers and sisters would perform in the future before making a decision.
