Chapter 107: Man

Zhang Wuyue asked, "Where is my sister-in-law?"

Zhong Boyu asked, "Do you want to hear the truth? Or do you want to hear lies?"

Zhang Wuyue became interested: "How to tell the truth, and how to tell lies?"

Zhong Boyu said, "If I tell lies, I am already like this. I can't drag others down. Besides, I am a useless person. How can I have the face to see her? I gave her all the remaining money and asked her to go back to her parents' home. Our master We have to shoulder the responsibility, this is the responsibility of being a man.”

Zhang Wuyue couldn't help but ask, "What about the truth?"

Zhong Boyu said, "The truth is, husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes. Not only do they share the same adversity, but they also add insult to injury. The son of a bitch, when he saw something happened to me, he immediately took my family property and ran away. Before leaving, I also reported to the local government that I was a demon cultist, and I was almost arrested and beheaded. I don’t know where this bitch is now raising a pretty girl. If I can make a comeback, I will kill her whole family within three days.”

Zhang Wuyue finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Brother, oh brother, you have a leak in the house and it rained all night. I cut the hemp rope at the thinnest part and kicked the lame man's good leg."

Zhong Boyu asked, "Do you have any cigarettes? Give me one."

Zhang Wuyue does not smoke, but he usually carries some cigarettes with him for socializing, and they are the top-notch ones, with gold-rimmed cigarette cases.

Zhang Wuyue took out one and gave it to Zhong Boyu.

"Good stuff, just this one, at least one peace coin." Zhong Boyu put it under his nose, sniffed it, and held it in his mouth, "If I had put this in my mouth before, I wouldn't have felt anything. Instead, I would have thought that I was beating you A cigarette will give you face, but now, you can’t bear to smoke it.”

"See, this is a middle-aged man. Failure is the biggest original sin. Any other morals and responsibilities are all false and deceptive."

"I have been taught since I was a child to be the pillar of support, but I have never thought about what to do if the pillar of support collapses. Now I understand that if the pillar of support collapses, just find another house to live in. What is a man? It is a tool, an ox or a horse, the kind that is thrown away after use. It’s best to die immediately when you can’t do anything anymore, so that everyone can worry less.”

Zhang Wuyue was still smiling, but when he heard this, he suddenly stopped laughing.

Why did he give up his job in Daomen and run out to make money? It's because he can't afford a house in Yujing.

Why does he have to buy Yujing's house when he has a house at home? Because I want to get married.

Getting married is a matter for two people, why should he bear the burden himself?

Because he is a man, he has been taught since he was a child to be a pillar of support and to protect others from wind and rain.

Zhang Wuyue had some regrets.

No, what about the equality promised? we agreed

Can a female Taoist priest hold up half the sky? Why am I the mainstay now?

At this point, what is the difference between Zhang Wuyue and Zhong Boyu?

Zhang Wuyue also took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and stuffed it in his mouth.

Zhong Boyu glanced at him, "It seems like you have some stories too."

Zhang Wuyue first helped Zhong Boyu light the cigarette, then lit it for himself, and took a deep breath. "I wouldn't come here without a story. But my little story is nothing compared to you, brother."

Zhong Boyu blew out a smoke ring, "Actually, let's be realistic. A woman's weakness can only be exchanged for sympathy, while a man's weakness can only be exchanged for ridicule, contempt and more bullying, so you must not fail. When I am proud, you My ex-sister-in-law is also gentle and sweet, and she does everything for me. If I can’t help it, then don’t blame others for being unkind. Marrying a man to marry a man, getting clothes and food is a kind of exchange. If you don’t have any leverage, others will take care of you. I'll kick you and find someone who can protect you."

Zhang Wuyue said, "That's not necessarily the case. My sister is not like that. Back then, my brother-in-law had no problem with anything he wanted, but he had a sincerity. We even made up a joke at that time, saying that one must be sincere, have a family background, and have a good cultivation. Sincerity, you have to be sincere if you want a future, my sister never cares about this."

"Later, it turned out that we were all blind, but my sister was the one with the unique eye."

"Despite the rumors that she is domineering, she thinks that my brother-in-law is strictly controlled. In fact, she doesn't care about my brother-in-law at all. The two of them discuss everything, or go their own way."

Zhong Boyu did not refute, but asked, "But how many Zhang Yuelu are there in the world?"

Zhang Wuyue was speechless.

After a while, Zhang Wuyue asked, "Brother, what are you going to do in the future? You can't just wait to die like a walking zombie."

Zhong Boyu said, "I'm a damned person. I'm lucky enough to be able to save my life. I don't dare to ask for too much. Let's just leave it like this."

The two sat side by side on the steps along the street, smoking in silence.

The red cigarette butt flickered in the darkness.

When the cigarette was almost burnt, Zhang Wuyue put it out and said, "Old Zhong, come with me, I'm short of manpower now."

"What business are you doing now?" Zhong Boyu was not very interested and was still sucking on the butt of his cigarette.

Zhang Wuyue said, "What else can I do? Of course.

I was running errands for my brother-in-law. But you also said that my brother-in-law is now a man of great influence. Even if I just work as a follower for him, his career will not be too small. I didn't lie to you just now. I did just finish negotiating a business with someone, and I had a rough idea. There are still many things to do next, and I need a helper. "

Zhong Boyu flicked away the cigarette butt with some residual sparks, "Can I do that?"

Zhang Wuyue said, "You were able to become a core member of Baiyutang, which shows that you are capable. Moreover, the world has changed, and it is not difficult to recover if you lose your cultivation. Life is always full of ups and downs. Don't you still want to seek revenge on your wife?"

Zhong Boyu said, "My identity is sensitive. You'd better ask Master Qi before making a decision."

Zhang Wuyue did not force it, and said, "I live in Taiping Inn in Xingang. You can find me there."

Zhong Boyu responded.

Zhang Wuyue got up and left.

This time walking on the street, Zhang Wuyue looked at the bright moon in the sky and secretly made up his mind that he must do this job well and not end up like Zhong Boyu, becoming a waste in the eyes of others.

However, Zhang Wuyue would not know that human nature is always greedy. Even if you are in power and have money, you still can't escape this disaster.

Lu Yujue has been feeling a bit upset recently. With his age, position, rank, and power, no one can say that he is not good enough. He is considered to be a leader among Taoist priests. As an assistant in the southern continent, he has both face and substance. The only drawback is that he is away from home all year round and cannot go home.

Lu Yujue happened to be married, and his Taoist partner was Zhou Xiaosong. This long-term separation did affect the relationship between the couple. At the beginning, he might not think anything of it, but after a long time, Zhou Xiaosong became dissatisfied and lonely. He complained about Lu Yujue, thinking that he did not know how to coax his wife, and even scolded Lu Yujue, saying that he could not be relied on for anything, and she had to do everything by herself, and she was like a widow.

Lu Yujue naturally felt wronged. I was away from home all year round for the Taoist mission. When the two sides were fighting, I had to cooperate with the army and go to the front line under the artillery fire of Westerners. It’s fine if you don’t understand me, but you also say that you can’t rely on me. If I quit and go home to watch over you every day, will you despise me for being incompetent? Will you despise me for not giving you face? How can I have all the good things in the world?

As for coaxing my wife, you are in a bad mood, and I am in a bad mood too. I am in a mess all day long. Westerners are not easy to deal with, and my boss is even harder to deal with. Who will coax me?

That being said, Zhou Xiaosong did not recognize this reason, so the conflict between the two continued to intensify.

At this time, it was more dangerous. Because many women will seek help from outside when they reach this point.

During the war between the North and the South, which was also the busiest time for Lu Yujue, Zhou Xiaosong gave Lu Yujue a big green hat.

The process was not complicated. Zhou Xiaosong was the head of Tiangang Hall, and his boss was the deputy hall master Li Minghuang.

Because of the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Zhou Xiaosong often went to Li Minghuang's signing room to report, and this back and forth caused trouble.

I have to admit that Li Minghuang is a very charming man, and he is very strong.

Lu Yujue, on the other hand, was not very strong at home and liked to indulge Zhou Xiaosong.

Zhou Xiaosong was used to being the only one in the family. When she suddenly met a domineering man like Li Minghuang, who was suppressing her, she felt suffocated. Especially the look in Li Minghuang's eyes when he looked at her was extremely aggressive, like a knife, as if he could see through her whole body and wanted to strip her naked, which made her long-lost body feel a special feeling.

Occasionally, the two of them would have some physical contact, which would make her heart tremble every time.

Li Minghuang was a romantic man. Zhang Jucheng's daughter and Li Tianlan's wife were all his prey. But Li Minghuang was very smart. He knew which women he could touch and which women he couldn't touch. For example, Zhang Yuelu was a woman who couldn't be touched. Only a fool like Li Tianzhen would bump into her.

Not to mention that Tiangang Hall was the territory of Cihang Zhenren. If he dared to provoke Zhang Yuelu, Cihang Zhenren would not forgive him.

Not to mention that Qi Xuansu seems to be generous but actually bears grudges. The key is that he is also cruel and ruthless. If you really get involved with him, you will easily lose a layer of skin.

In Li Minghuang's eyes, Zhang Yuelu can't even be considered a woman. This woman's temperament is too strange. I don't know what she is thinking in her mind. It can't be judged by common sense. It's easy to get into trouble and offend the public. It's best to stay away from her.

And Yao Pei is also a little sick.

In short, Li Minghuang is very afraid of Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu.

But in Li Minghuang's view, Lu Yujue is nothing. Can he compare with Li Tianlan? Lu Yujue's wife, just eat her, what else can Lu Yujue do to him? He's fighting for the ground with his head.

Lu Yujue is from Beichen Hall. What does Beichen Hall do? It is responsible for intelligence. Although Lu Yujue himself is not in Zhongyuan, he has many old colleagues, old friends, and even relatives in Beichen Hall. Soon someone knew about this and told Lu Yujue.
