"..."
Dad was momentarily speechless. This was a princess? But indeed, she did have a very noble air about her.
It seems a bit awkward...
Trying to change the subject—
"I mean skills...like being able to take care of children..."
It probably refers to the landlady.
Chen Ming then said—
"The landlady is much better than your son. She lives on her own at such a young age and doesn't need anyone to take care of her."
"..."
"And the landlady owns a building."
"..."
The father fell completely silent. He looked at Chen Ming, then at the two girls. The middle-aged man, who had been keeping a straight face, slowly began to lose his composure.
He couldn't help but pat Chen Ming on the head.
Chen Ming looked at his embarrassed father with a grin, his expression really asking for a beating.
The father was furious. He wanted to say, "How could you be so bad?" But then he thought about it and realized that he hadn't given his son a good family background, so he couldn't blame his son.
He gritted his teeth and said—
"Actually... it doesn't have to be such a perfect match, and it's not a problem if the woman is better off than the man... the main thing is whether the two people have feelings for each other."
Well, when someone wants to marry her, she emphasizes that the man must be capable. But when her own son lives off a woman, she says that as long as there's love, that's enough.
This is a classic case of double standards.
Chen Ming burst into laughter, almost breathless, clutching his stomach and trembling. Seeing his father so humiliated was truly amusing.
Dad's teeth itched, and he said—
"Your personality... is just like your mother's."
My mother has become the benchmark for how bad things are in the family; you can use this kind of sentence to describe someone who likes to bully others.
Although he mocked his father like that, Chen Ming understood that one's attitude depends on one's position. He knew his father favored his own family, which was understandable. Besides, it was just talk; he didn't actually interfere.
It's bad to be protective of one's own, but for him, this son was the most protective of his own.
Chapter 211 Living off a woman without envy – I'm not envious.
Actually, Chen Ming thought about it.
Strictly speaking, every girl in my family is better than him, considering all aspects of her qualities, abilities, and personality.
Um, except for Dongyi.
Kidding.
Chen Ming didn't think he was better than anyone else, but he wasn't inferior either. Everyone got along with him in a very normal way.
There's not so much about who loses and who gains. If you feel that living together is okay, that's great, and you like each other, then you can just make do and live together.
Of course, these kinds of words are only said to outsiders; everyone knows that it takes emotional support to make it last.
He shamelessly said...
Everyone likes him, and he likes everyone too, so let's live together. As long as no one dislikes him and he likes it, there's nothing wrong with that.
It was a mutual agreement.
Girls like them are so much better than him; if they didn't want to, how could he possibly force them?
He shook the landlady's hand, smiled, and said—
“It’s 0202 already. It’s a good thing for girls to be capable. There’s no need for anyone in the family to be stronger or weaker.”
"...Don't talk to me like I'm some kind of feudal old-fashioned person. I've been a teacher and taught people, how could I not understand?"
Dad pursed his lips; he just didn't want his family to suffer, and this little bit of selfishness was just a joke. Chen Ming's cousins didn't really encounter any obstacles in finding boyfriends.
A poor boy may indeed have nothing, but that doesn't mean no one will want him.
Just like Chen Ming, who was basically a poor boy.
Um... not counting the money Qin Hui gave me.
Compared to Lucifer, they're not even from the same world, are they? Aren't they all working together with him now?
As the saying goes, don't be ashamed of your shortcomings. Maybe a good girl is blind to your flaws?
Chen Ming couldn't help but laugh.
Many good girls around him are blind; otherwise, why would they all cling to him?
Reality, as expected, doesn't need logic.
Dad sighed deeply, looked ahead at the road, and couldn't help but grin.
"You know what, I can finally relax now."
"what?"
"You've always been a troublemaker since you were little... Miss Lu, you don't know, although this kid doesn't say anything usually, once he makes up his mind, nothing can change it. Before, when we were telling him to hurry up and find a girlfriend, he suddenly said he didn't want to get married, which scared my mother and me to death."
My son is a man of his word. Even if I beat him until he cries and submits, he's still not convinced. He'll stick to whatever he's decided.
He said he didn't want to be a teacher, and now he's planning to run away from home. He's gotten too big for his britches, so I'll show him what's what, and show him that forcing someone to do something against their will only backfire.
Chen Ming was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and said—
"I was just annoyed by what you guys were saying. I just graduated and you've been nagging me all this time..."
It was just something I said in anger; don't take it seriously.
Or rather... it smells amazing.
Lucifer smells so good, Dongyi smells so good, Afu smells so good, Gouzi smells so good, Miss Angel... I don't know if she smells good yet, Sister... she smells so good! Miss Landlord... no no no, this one doesn't smell good yet.
His luck with women was practically slapping him in the face, making him so angry he could only keep saying "it's so good!"
Lucifer looked at him, smiled slightly, and said—
"That was just something I said in anger. He was very good to me from the beginning."
They made no attempt to hide their intentions from the very beginning.
Then, in front of everyone, she transforms into a "central air conditioner," showing great kindness and compassion.
The landlady added a poignant remark—
"Let's all be single, anyone who finds a partner is a dog. If you find a partner, so be it, I'm not going to be a single dog."
"..."
Chen Ming looked at the twin-tailed loli shaking her head and couldn't help but reach out and tap her on the head.
You talk too much.
The father looked at the little girl, a kind smile on his face, and said—
"Why did this young lady come here instead of spending the holiday with her family? And did she tell her family that she was coming?"
"Dad, actually..."
Chen Ming hesitated for a moment before telling his father about the landlady. He glanced at her, but the landlady's expression remained unchanged. He then simply told his father about it.
"...How can there be such parents?"
The father frowned. As a former teacher, this was what annoyed him most: having a child and then neglecting them. It would be understandable if the woman was away working and didn't have time to care for the child, but the landlady's family didn't seem to be in dire straits.
But that was someone else's family matter, and he couldn't say anything, so he smiled and said to the little girl—
"It's alright, you can stay at our place this year... no, you can come every year. As long as Chen Ming comes back, just tell him to bring you over. You're welcome anytime. Just make yourself at home."
"!"
"Trying it like home?" The landlady's eyes lit up. Despite her young age, she was already thinking about what would happen after she married Chen Ming.
She happily kicked her little feet, which were clad in white sandals, and said with a smile—
"Got it, Dad."
"Uh, oh."
"Dad?" He tilted his head slightly. Although it wouldn't hurt to just call him that like everyone else... something did seem a little off.
This is an old man's intuition.
He glanced at his son with some suspicion, but still didn't grasp the crux of the matter, so he shook his head.
We've already entered the residential area.
The group arrived at their doorstep.
Dad said—
"Your mom is a bit slow, so the food might not be ready yet. Why don't you go back and help her out?"
"Hmm... someone should be helping by now."
Chen Ming said with a smile.
Dad was a little confused and said—
"Who can help?"
As they were talking, they knocked on the door.
"They're here! They're here! They're here!"
An excited voice came from inside, and you could tell from the sound that the owner of the voice must be a very lively girl.
Dad raised his eyebrows slightly.
Do we have guests at home?
