Chapter 292 Song Wanxing is online again
Regardless of societal trends, those who love their wives thrive! Everyone sitting around understood this principle, including the three Song brothers, who are still young. After getting married, they all willingly became 'henpecked,' and their families are warm and happy.
Being willing to let one's wife manage things isn't out of fear, but rather out of respect and love for her. This is the secret to happiness behind being "henpecked." Later, someone even created a catchy rhyme about listening to your wife:
Listening to your wife is a blessing;
It's safe to be controlled by your wife.
Does respecting your wife bring you boundless energy and success in everything you do?
A good wife brings good fortune every day;
My wife scolds me, saying I can't eat well every day.
A wife is indispensable for life; even without a miserable fate, one is doomed.
A good wife is priceless, and will stay by your side for life.
A happy life is a beautiful life.
Men must remember: cherish your wife for life; you can't live without her!
Song Wanxing, who was secretly saddened by Qian Shuzhen and was being compared to others, was incompetent in everything he did when he went out and encountered setbacks everywhere.
He was arrogant and self-righteous, looking down on uneducated people, unaware that his half-baked knowledge was completely inadequate in a big city.
Without a high degree, a special skill, great strength, a silver tongue, or even a clever mind... and of course, no money, it would be strange if Song Wanxing could succeed.
He followed that teacher, Wanruyiwan, believing he had broken free of his 'shackles' and arrived in the prosperous port city full of confidence, eager to make a name for himself. In fact, they came at the right time; the port city was full of business opportunities.
Those with plenty of money acquire land for real estate development and engage in various wholesale businesses. Those with less money resell electrical appliances, clothing, and other goods back to the mainland, or open restaurants and other shops. Those with skills become contractors or craftsmen. As long as they seize the opportunity, they can all make a fortune.
Unfortunately, Song Wanxing was the type who needed to be served and fed; studying and seizing opportunities were out of the question for him. And when it came to actually doing the work, he avoided anything strenuous, so he kept changing jobs.
At first, Wan Ruyi admired his refined and scholarly demeanor and wanted to make a name for herself with him, proving that she had good judgment in finding someone talented and handsome.
But as time went on, the mundane realities of daily life wore away that halo.
At first, Wanru disliked, despised, and looked down on Song Wanxing. He was useless at everything, wouldn't answer any questions, and had a terrible temper. She couldn't imagine how his wife could tolerate all his bad habits.
In the end, Wan Ruyi dumped him and found another big boss. Anyway, Hong Kong has no shortage of men who come from the mainland to make a living, and Wan Ruyi is a shrewd person who can read the situation, so she naturally wouldn't stay with a man who has no future.
Abandoned, Song Wanxing blamed everyone and everything, cursing all women as bad. To survive, he had to lower his proud head and go out to work.
But he was in his forties, couldn't endure hardship, and his little bit of "culture" that he was so proud of was not presentable. In the end, he found a job as a warehouse keeper to get by.
He had originally planned to just muddle along like this, unwilling to go back no matter how bad things got. But fate wouldn't let him have a moment's peace.
One night, he drank alcohol and fell asleep. The warehouse was almost completely emptied overnight.
When the boss arrived, he flew into a rage. This was half of his entire fortune! He launched into a tirade: "What are you doing? Sleeping during work hours! Who do you think you are?! Were you raised on shit? The reason I pay you warehouse keepers to guard this place day and night is because I know it's not safe here. Before we started work, I repeatedly told you no sleeping, no sleeping, and definitely no drinking! And what do you do? The warehouse's been emptied, and you're still not awake! Are you a pig?!"
Being verbally abused in his fifties and sixties is a common embarrassment for Song Wanxing, a situation he has experienced many times in recent years.
He's gotten used to it. He usually just hangs his head and lets the boss yell at him, thinking that yelling at him won't hurt him. He's become numb to it.
However, this time the matter is much bigger. It's not like before when someone would sneak a few items into the supermarket, say a few words, or deduct a little money from my wages and that would be the end of it.
