Chapter 354 Fate

What Tian Kuo expected did happen in the Fu family compound.

Fu Beishan is now retired, so he doesn't care much about outside affairs. In addition, Fu Tingyang said hello in advance, so he got the news late.

When Tian Kuo arrived, Fu Beishan was losing his temper and scolding harshly.

He Lan sat on the sofa without saying a word, with a sad face.

After Tian Kuo was invited into the living room, Fu Beishan stopped scolding and asked him, "What's the matter with Wei Hong?"

Tian Kuo sat down with a smile and took out a long sandalwood box.

"There's nothing serious about it. He fainted because he was overwhelmed by the fire. Before he left, he specifically told me to bring you a message. Please don't get angry."

Fu Beishan recognized which painting it was at a glance. He asked Wei Hong several times before, and mentioned everything in exchange for what he bought.

He became happy, "He really regards Zhuang Yan as his son, and he doesn't care if his son is sent abroad to study, and he doesn't return home for several years."

Tian Kuo smiled and said nothing, "Expand it for your review?"

Fu Beishan was also very interested, "Go to the study."

He Lan then got up to make tea, and soon went to the study with two cups of tea.

Fu Beishan was picking up a magnifying glass to look at the painting, when he saw He Lan put the teacup on the corner of the desk from the corner of his eye, he became angry and shouted: "You can't use your brains, if the cup knocks over and destroys this painting, ten thousand You can't even afford it."

Knowing Fu Beishan's temper, Tian Kuo was a little embarrassed to be here as an outsider, so he comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I'll pay attention."

He Lan picked up the teacup again, looked around, looking for a place to put it, but there was only one desk in the study, and there was no other decent place to put it.

Fu Beishan was out of breath, "Are you filled with tofu dregs in your head? You don't know how to bring a stool in."

Tian Kuo hurriedly said, "I'll get it."

He Lan put down the teacup again, and smiled politely, "You guys are busy, I'll go, I don't know where it is, the stools in the dining room are concave, I'll go get the round stools."

Tian Kuo had no choice but to thank him several times.

Fu Beishan didn't have a temper with Tian Kuo, and he sighed, "If you marry such a stupid woman, your family will be ruined by her."

Tian Kuo is really not good at talking, so he can only act as if he didn't hear.

He Lan returned quickly, put a round stool aside, put down two cups of tea, and then retreated.

It was already 06:30 at that time, He Lan glanced at the study, and said in a calm voice, "I'm going out."

No one responded, and she didn't care. Instead, she looked a little happy, took the car keys and went out.

......

Tao Guihong waited at the gate of the community until seven o'clock before seeing He Lan's car.

"I'm sorry, I'm late because of something at home today." He Lan apologized.

Tao Guihong got into the car, fastened his seat belt and said, "Say something polite. Is the family serious?"

He Lan was always on time, and this was the first time she was late, so something urgent must have happened.

He Lan was originally a taciturn character, but after knowing Tao Guihong for so long, she also talked a lot.

She sighed, "It's my son. He is a man who eats in the public house. He caused some trouble today. My husband is very angry."

Tao Guihong also knows how to measure, and she doesn't ask what she shouldn't ask, but just comforts her a few words.

The two were chatting when He Lan's phone rang, and it was Fu Beishan calling.

He Lan was driving the car and didn't wear a Bluetooth headset, so she used the car phone to answer the call. As soon as the call was connected, Fu Beishan yelled angrily.

"Where did you bastard go again? You didn't even know that you were being pitted when you left. You were transformed by a dead person?"

Tao Guihong stared in shock, and glanced at the display screen, where the word "husband" was written.

There was nothing unusual in He Lan's voice, as if he was chatting normally, "I greeted you when I left, but you probably didn't hear it."

Fu Beishan became even more angry, "You've been kicked in the head by a donkey. If you have guests and you still go to learn those things, I don't think you should come back. Why do you come back? Home is not home."

He scolded a lot, and in short, his words were full of condemnation.

He Lan was also scolded by him, as if he didn't hear it, he continued to concentrate on driving until the phone was hung up.

Tao Guihong clenched her fists, feeling overwhelmed.

She knew why she had a feeling of deja vu when seeing He Lan, and also why she and He Lan could chat together.

He Lan married a man with a background and a promising son. She always thought that she was a pampered and rich wife, but she was neither competitive nor robbing, and she didn't look down on others.

But now she understands that He Lan, just like her, is regarded as unkind to others.

The swearing words that Tao Guihong heard from Ji Pingchang were worse. Country people who swear at people are prostitutes, and Ji Pingchang can even use swear words without repetition.

Tao Guihong said with emotion, "You are a hard-working person just like me."

He Lan was suspicious for a moment, then understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "He always talks like that. I've heard it for decades, so I won't take it to heart."

Tao Guihong couldn't help poking it out, "You're so numb."

But He Lan said: "I'm really stupid. I often do things in a trance. He said that because he was in a hurry. I didn't worry about it. I forgot after hearing it."

Tao Guihong disagreed, "Your mind is so good, you are numb by his yelling, and your mind is no longer listening to you. My daughter told me a word, what is it called cpu, it refers to belittle you, deny you , If you say you can't do it, that's not good. In short, there is no good thing to say.

My daughter said that this is a kind of mind control method. If things go on like this, the controlled people will even really feel that they are not good here and there, and treat men as heaven. "

He Lan was a little confused, "Cpu?" He smiled again, "He's used to it, and I'm used to it. I've been like this all my life, and I don't take it seriously."

Tao Guihong can understand He Lan's mentality very well, just like she did back then, when facing Ji Pingchang, she was really numb with just one word.The mind is numb enough to listen to those verbal insults as normal language.

However, He Lan is similar to her, but they are not the same. She only has a deep hatred for Ji Pingchang, and He Lan's words are full of admiration and love for her husband.

Thinking deeper, this is a higher spiritual state, because the inner world has not collapsed, but I feel that everything is fine, detached, open-minded, and broad and inclusive like the sea, which has to be admired.

But this kind of spirit is based on years of mental suppression. Through self-paralysis, self-salvation, self-reconciliation, and self-compromise, such a peaceful state of mind without complaint, hatred, annoyance, or haste is finally formed.

Because Tao Guihong has experienced it herself, she can empathize with her more. Decades of grievances, suppression, and insults have condensed this state of selflessness. No matter how high or deep the state is, she does not want to sing praises.

"My ex-husband is not a good person. Before he beat me and scolded me, I endured it. After a long time, I didn't take it seriously. I just want to see my children grow up and I will be satisfied."

He Lan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered that he had the same mentality in the years when he first married Fu Beishan.

At that time, Fu Beishan was young and energetic, and his anger was even greater than now. When he was in a hurry, he would beat her. win.

Later, she gradually figured it out, the person she married was successful and famous, and she couldn't get all the good things.

At that time, her only thought was to see her two children grow up and get married.

This is her only thought now.

"It's not easy for you." She said with emotion.

Once a woman marries the wrong man, her life will be miserable.

Tao Guihong looked gratified, "My youngest son is not good at beating his father, but my eldest daughter is amazing. She has not been submissive since she was a child. She was only seven years old, and she dared to scold her father and beat her with a stick."

He Lan was surprised and laughed again, "My son is also, especially when he was in junior high school, whenever he went home, he would quarrel with his father. Whenever his father said me, he would chime in, and his father would be so angry that he would lift the table and make a fuss. It makes the family jump like chickens and dogs."

Tao Guihong also laughed, "I said that we are destined, our son and daughter have such similar personalities, and I love my mother. When my daughter grew up, she specially trained a dog. As soon as Ji Pingchang came back, she would let the dog bite."

He Lan felt that if a girl could do this, she must have been forced into misery, so she couldn't help but feel distressed.

"It's said that my daughter is a cotton-padded jacket. Your daughter is really powerful. She has a good temper. She must not be the one who suffers. After my son became sensible, he stopped arguing with his father. I can't see their father and son quarreling. Every time I help, I feel very sorry It's tight, my father and I have been here for so many years, I don't take it seriously at all, there is nothing to argue about."

Tao Guihong can understand that Ji Pingchang is not a person at all, and he doesn't have to think about life at all; it's one thing for He Lan's husband to have a bad temper, but it's a burden for the family.

"It's a pity that my daughter has a boyfriend, otherwise I can still meet her. My daughter is very beautiful." Tao Guihong felt a little emotional.

He Lan chuckled, "You think the same as I do."

If she hadn't known that Fu Tingyang had a child outside, she really wanted them to meet.
