Chapter 849: Chapter 830: The Huo Family Is the Warmest! (Part 4)
Pu Sangzhi’s family also went through bankruptcy and debt.
Bankruptcy is not the scariest thing; the scariest thing is being in debt...
Mu Mu told Pu Sangzhi about her family situation, feeling inferior and pitiful.
However, in Pu Sangzhi’s view, that bit of situation is not as dark as what she had experienced before.
Nowadays, with society progressing so rapidly, any industry or company might go bankrupt.
Who can guarantee their company will always stay open? Who can ensure their company won’t become obsolete as times change?
Pu Sangzhi feels that a company facing crisis is a normal thing.
Since you’ve already helped, why not treat the people you’ve helped with a forgiving attitude?
Why use a malicious attitude to hurt those you’ve helped?
If that’s the case, then what’s the point of helping? You won’t get thanks and gratitude, and might even end up being resented.
In this light, Yong Mu’s family really doesn’t know how to act.
"Yeah, a company going bankrupt is normal!"
Beside her, Huo Feng echoed the same reasoning as Pu Sangzhi, "If Yong Mu’s family goes bankrupt one day, I wouldn’t be surprised at all. The bigger the industry, the more prone it is to breaking down. There are so many examples in society today, where those listed companies that seem to be doing great suffer a sharp drop in stocks due to a tiny mistake! Can Yong Mu’s family always guarantee they will be rich? How arrogant is that?"
"Exactly."
Pu Sangzhi also nodded, agreeing very much with Huo Feng’s analysis, "I think, either you don’t help people at all, or if you do help them, don’t you want a thank you in return? You’ve helped them, yet you still look down on them and resent them. Do you want them to thank you or hate you? Spending so much money just to be hated, is it worth it?"
"Right, right, right..."
Huo Feng stretched his long arm to hold Pu Sangzhi’s shoulder, unable to stop himself from expressing his admiration, "My wife’s way of thinking is so humane. I didn’t even think of it from this perspective~"
"Let me tell you, once money is involved, human nature can’t be measured."
Pu Sangzhi earnestly told Huo Feng, "Back in middle school when my family went bankrupt and got into debt, we suffered from everyone’s cold stares. I’ve seen this a lot, so I actually quite understand Mu Mu’s feelings."
"Yes, my wife has also been through hardship."
Huo Feng gently stroked Pu Sangzhi’s arm, feeling deeply sorry for her, "My wife was truly miserable back then. Also, I wasn’t as wealthy as Yong Mu’s family, I couldn’t help you like Yong Mu did. Thinking back to those days, we were really in a tough spot..."
As Huo Feng spoke, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but recall the times during high school when Huo Feng meticulously protected her.
During her moments of greatest insecurity, he appeared at her doorstep at midnight, smoking a cigarette, waiting for her.
During her most cautious period, he would pick her up and drop her off at school every week, install alarms at her home, and carry out investigations quietly.
On her most destitute day, he locked her and her mother in their house and faced three debt collectors himself.
In her lowest moments, he did so much for her time and time again...
Although his family wasn’t as wealthy as Yong Mu’s family.
However, his grandfather was willing to spend money to help her family, find people to teach the thugs a lesson, and offer advice to ensure her safety for a few years.
Moreover, his father also went out of his way to help Pu Sangzhi at school!
Although their family didn’t have much money to solve Pu Sangzhi’s family problems, they showed her the utmost kindness!
In the end, his family harbored no resentment or contempt towards Pu Sangzhi at all!
Clearly, the situations were very similar, yet, in Huo Feng’s family, Pu Sangzhi felt nothing but warmth.
Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng are now affectionate and inseparable.
Unlike Yong Mu and Mu Mu...
A situation that could be easily resolved has created an insurmountable rift between them.
Yong Mu’s family is wealthy.
But that proves one thing...
The wealthier people are, the more calculating they become! The more concerned they are with the value of financial expenditure! They also use money to measure people and determine humanity!
But, paradoxically, humanity is something that cannot be measured with money.
Thinking about this, Pu Sangzhi felt immense gratitude towards Huo Feng and his family.
She couldn’t help but lower her head and chuckle slightly, freeing one arm to wrap around Huo Feng’s waist, her little head nestling against his chest, "Hearing you say that, I feel so happy."
Huo Feng looked down at her, raising an eyebrow high, "Hey, my family doesn’t even have money to help you, what are you so happy about?"
Pu Sangzhi quipped, "Even though your family didn’t have money to help me, they really made me feel the greatest kindness. Your grandpa helped me so much, got people to teach the thugs a lesson, and spent money to buy peace. The teachers were so good too, never saying a bad word even when I was bullied, and didn’t force me to transfer schools. Plus, you gave your all to help me. So I am happy! I was fully accepted by your family! Unlike Mu Mu, who was mocked and ridiculed by Yong Mu’s family."
"Oh dear, my wife..."
Seeing how easily satisfied Pu Sangzhi became, Huo Feng lowered his head and kissed her forehead, unable to suppress his urge to kiss her.
"How can you be so good, my wife... You don’t mind that my family doesn’t have money at all... Oh dear..." Huo Feng felt immensely moved.
He truly felt that his wife was the kindest and most virtuous woman in the world!
Not materialistic at all!
Her heart is genuinely kind!
"Huo Feng, it’s not that your family doesn’t have money, you’re a middle-class family. Stop saying your family doesn’t have money, Mr. Huo would be unhappy hearing this." Pu Sangzhi corrected him with some amusement.
She was actually quite puzzled...
Huo Feng always says he has no money, that he’s not a rich second generation, that Mr. Huo hasn’t done well enough in his life, hasn’t made him a rich second generation.
But...
His small family is warm and simple, well-fed and well-clothed, and Pu Sangzhi thinks it’s great!
Really great...
"I don’t despise my dad for being poor, I can earn myself."
Huo Feng gently patted Pu Sangzhi’s head, "Don’t worry, I will surely be a successful rich first generation in the future, ensuring that my son becomes a rich second generation. If my son meets a girl like you, I’d definitely spend money to help to the end!"
Pu Sangzhi retorted, "There aren’t that many instances, you’re overthinking it!"
As they were chatting, suddenly, Pu Sangzhi received a WeChat reply from Mu Mu.
Pu Sangzhi’s small hand was hugging Huo Feng’s waist, and he wouldn’t let her remove her hand, so he said, "I’ll tap it, you don’t move."
Then, Huo Feng clicked on Mu Mu’s chat interface.
The message from Mu Mu read: [I’ve decided to reduce my interactions with him starting now. He might look for you or Brother Feng for help. But I hope you stand by my side and help me.]
She was asking Pu Sangzhi for help...
Which meant she didn’t want to have too much interaction with Yong Mu anymore, hoping Pu Sangzhi could cover for her.
That also meant...
She might want to spend a few days with Pu Sangzhi, cutting off Yong Mu’s invitations.
After reading the message, Pu Sangzhi said to Huo Feng, "Help me reply to her, ’Don’t worry, I will help you.’"
"Why are you helping her?"
Huo Feng couldn’t help but question her, "Helping her is breaking up the two! They are lovers! You should help them be together!"
"Of course I’ll help the girl."
Pu Sangzhi retorted to Huo Feng, "The guy’s family already dislikes Mu Mu so much, if I side with Yong Mu to oppose Mu Mu, how pitiful would she be!"
Huo Feng had a completely different mindset from Pu Sangzhi at this moment, "How can you say it’s opposing Mu Mu? If you help match them up and succeed, they’ll be happy too! How can such things be avoided? They should face it! You can’t let family reasons block the relationship between two young people!"
Pu Sangzhi snorted heavily, "You don’t mind me, anyway, I’m going to help Mu Mu. I said how to reply, and that’s how it’ll be replied to!"
"No! You have to stand on the same front as me! The truth is only known by the two of us, if we don’t help, they are really over!" Huo Feng insisted on his stand.
It was unexpected...
That because of Yong Mu and Mu Mu’s matter, Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi were arguing.
Maybe their voices were a bit loud, causing surrounding classmates who were self-studying to gaze over...
Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng quickly lowered their voices, continuing their quiet exchange...
Pu Sangzhi whispered, "I don’t care, you have to reply to her as I said right now!"
Huo Feng also said, "You can’t reply like that, if you do, they’re finished!"
