Chapter 638 Insufficient Qi and Blood is Not Laziness
Yi Yunshuo rushed to the kitchen and, seeing so many dishes prepared, asked while carrying a fish, "Should we kill this fish?"
Lin Yuyao came over, supporting her pregnant belly. "We can't finish all this food. Let's not kill the fish yet, we can eat it tonight."
"So I'll keep them in your rooftop fishpond?"
"Okay, please."
Yi Yunshuo smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all. I'm just here to freeload again. I hope you won't find me annoying, Sister Lin."
"Not at all, it's more lively when you come over often."
"Oh, Sister Lin is the best. She never looks down on me."
Lin Yuyao was both amused and exasperated; once she started talking to him, it seemed like there was no end in sight.
Fu Huaiyi, holding a piece of braised beef, asked, "Should this beef be cut?"
"Tch, with so many people, there won't be enough to eat later."
Fu Huaiyi went straight to the kitchen to cut the beef.
Song Qin laughed and said, "Not bad, you've turned Young Master Fu into a chef."
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "He's willing to do it."
"Tsk tsk, what are you saying? Who is born loving to work? I just don't like it. I'd rather lie down than sit, and I'd rather sit than stand."
Lin Yuyao: "You're weak, you have insufficient qi and blood. Look at those people with plenty of qi and blood, they don't want to sit down even if they run around outside a few times."
Song Qin: "Isn't it because people are born lazy?"
"that is not."
"real or fake?"
"When you have some free time, go see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor."
Upon closer reflection, it seems there really is a difference between people. Some people can exert a lot of effort, while others just like to lie around. Could it really be related to their physical condition?
Fu Huaiyi went to the kitchen to cut beef, but Ye Xiaotong kicked him out, complaining that he cut it too thick.
"Brother Fu, you can go out now. It's too smoky here. I can manage on my own."
"Then I'll wash these vegetables."
"No need, no need. The kitchen is so narrow, and you're blocking my way."
Ye Xiaotong shooed him out and closed the glass door, making the living room much quieter.
It just so happens that Lin Yuyao has something to discuss with Fu Huaiyi.
"Come inside for a moment."
Fu Huaiyi wiped his hands and quickly went to help her up, "What's wrong? Why do we have to talk inside?"
Lin Yuyao, supporting her pregnant belly, had difficulty even getting up from the sofa.
The two children's bellies are really much bigger.
Upon entering the bedroom, Lin Yuyao said, "Wang Jianguo's wife just came by."
Fu Huaiyi: "What is she doing here?"
"You have the nerve to ask? I'm asking you, what did you say to that bastard Wang Jianguo?"
"what does it mean?"
"Hmph, Wang Jianguo, go back and tell your family that you're planning to become in-laws with him."
"What? When did I say such a thing?"
"I don't know if you said it or not, or if you drank too much last night and forgot what you said?"
“That’s impossible. I barely drank any of it; Wang Jianguo drank almost all of it. He did ask me if the child was a boy or a girl, and I told him we didn’t check; it doesn’t matter whether it’s a boy or a girl.”
Fu Huaiyi thought about it carefully for a moment before continuing, "By the way, he did ask what would happen if it was a daughter?"
Lin Yuyao: "So what did you say?"
“I said if it’s a daughter, I’ll find a son-in-law who will live with us.”
At this point, Fu Huaiyi suddenly realized, "Hey, this grandson doesn't think that just because I'm taking in a son-in-law, he'll take a liking to his son, does he?"
Lin Yuyao was also speechless. "That's probably what it means."
Fu Huaiyi was extremely annoyed and wished he could beat him up.
But thinking that his good days are coming to an end, I decided not to get my hands dirty.
Lin Yuyao struggled to lift her leg and said, "Forget it, stop thinking about it. Quickly check what's wrong with my leg."
"What happened to the leg?"
"I don't know, can you help me take a look?"
It's cold now, and she's wearing so many layers, so it took a lot of effort to roll up her trouser legs.
Fu Huaiyi: "Why is it all swollen?"
"I do not know."
"Let's go to the hospital."
"Hey, let's not go today, let's talk about it tomorrow. Can you give me a massage?"
"Okay." Seeing how swollen her legs were, Fu Huaiyi felt extremely guilty. "It's too much suffering. Let's only have this one child, and never have another one."
Lin Yuyao laughed and said, "With the family planning policy being so strict now, even if we want to have children, people won't let us."
……
Yi Yunshuo came down from the rooftop and saw Ye Xiaotong busy in the kitchen. He praised her, saying, "Little Ye is so hardworking. I wonder who will marry her in the future and enjoy a life of luxury."
"But you have to meet the right person. Whether you can live a good life or not doesn't really depend on how hard you work."
"Sister Song, what are you saying? How can a hardworking woman not have a good life?"
Song Qin rolled her eyes at him. "What do you think?"
Yi Yunshuo thought of Ye Xiaotong's previous marriage and wondered what her life was like.
He was choked and speechless for a long time before finally saying, "Families like that are extremely rare."
“It’s really not a rare breed.” Song Qin sighed and said, “Sometimes, it’s because you’re too nice and don’t have much of a temper that people think you’re easy to bully, and the whole family gangs up on you to bully you.”
Take one of my neighbors, for example. Although that auntie didn't have much education and wasn't very cultured, she was incredibly hardworking and skillful. She made all the clothes for the whole family by herself, did all the housework, took care of four children, and looked after her elderly in-laws. During those toughest years, which family among us didn't go hungry? But her entire family managed to avoid going hungry even once thanks to her meticulous budgeting.
Even so, her family wasn't satisfied. They all ate whatever was served to them, and they were always picky about the food, complaining that it was too hard, too soft, too salty, or too bland. Especially her in-laws; they never stopped criticizing her. When they chatted downstairs, they never mentioned how hard-working he was; they only ever described her as lazy and greedy.
Yi Yunshuo loved listening to these things and listened intently. "She's so diligent, why do people say she's lazy and greedy?"
Song Qin smiled and said, "Because she won't fight back when hit or talk back when insulted. She won't argue back when you call her lazy and greedy. That's just how people are. If you're weak-willed, you'll get bullied."
"Her in-laws are really wicked."
"No, that's human nature. Believe it or not, if she were to change families, she would still be bullied just the same way."
Yi Yunshuo: "Sister Song, are you saying that everyone is bad? I don't agree. If I married such a hardworking wife, I definitely wouldn't let anyone bully her."
"That's not true. There are good and bad people in this world, but purely good and bad people are only a minority. Most people can actually become good people or bad people."
"What do you want?"
"Think back to when you were in school. Was there anyone in your class who was always bullied?"
Yi Yunshuo thought for a moment and nodded heavily, "Yes, when I was in junior high school, there was a girl in my class who was bullied by a lot of people."
"Was it originally just one or two bad kids in the class bullying her? Later, some classmates who didn't like to bully others also started to ostracize and bully her."
