Chapter 61 Chapter 2 It is more difficult to keep a sloppy woman in check than to keep ten thousand fleas in check

However, what Wu Song said to Pan Jinlian next broke their relationship completely, and it was hard to recover. Wu Song picked up another glass of wine and said to Pan Jinlian: "Sister-in-law is a delicate person, so there is no need to use Wu Song to talk about it. My brother is simple, and it is all up to sister-in-law to judge him." At the beginning, the words were sincere, truthful, and pleading. Jin Shengtan criticized and said: "It's actually Tuo Gu's words. I read it generously and shed tears." However, since this is the case, Pan Jinlian shouldn't be angered by the following words.

What did Wu Song say next? Wu Songdao: "As the saying goes: 'The outside is not as strong as the inside.' My sister-in-law decides the family, what does my brother worry about! Don't you hear the ancient saying: 'A dog cannot enter a fence.'" In this case, no matter what kind of woman it is, it is unacceptable.What's more, these words hit Pan Jinlian's sore spot.Especially when the two had a teasing incident more than ten days ago, these words were actually exposing Pan Jinlian's scars. When Pan Jinlian heard it, her cheeks turned purple all of a sudden, she pointed at Wu Dao and cursed: "You dirty and chaotic, what words do you have in front of outsiders, just say it to bully my old lady!"

At the beginning, when Pan Jinlian asked Wu Song to move to live with her, she was talking about "one's own flesh and blood", and she kept calling "uncle". Now, this "one's own flesh and blood" has become an "outsider". What followed was what Pan Jinlian said to Wu Song: "Ever since I married Wuhan University, ants have not dared to enter the house. If the fence is not strong, dogs can get in! You talk nonsense, every sentence will fall, Throw down bricks and tiles, one by one will hit the ground!" Wu Song said with a smile: "It's best if my sister-in-law decides like this. As long as you agree with your heart, don't let your heart be different from your words. In this case, Wu Er will remember what sister-in-law said. Please drink this cup."

Wu Song's words added fuel to the fire. Pan Jinlian pushed away the wine cup and ran downstairs.Walking to the half-hu ladder, he said: "You are smart, but you don't know your elder sister-in-law as your mother! When I married Wuhan University, I never heard of any uncle. I can walk there... I am my old lady." It's bad luck, the bird has bumped into many things!" Crying and going downstairs. Pan Jinlian was completely desperate for Wu Song. Wu Song has to bear a lot of responsibility for this.It's not that Wu Song wants to accept Pan Jinlian's love, but that Wu Song shouldn't reject Pan Jinlian's love in such a heartless way.While rejecting love, he can give Pan Jinlian more understanding, sympathy, and comfort, including giving her other emotional compensation.

In this world, there is some love that we cannot accept; but there is no love that we cannot understand. There are some loves which we cannot love in return; but there is no love which we cannot return with tenderness. There are some loves we must refuse; but there is no love we can mock. However, Wu Song, on the premise of not understanding, treated Pan Jinlian ruthlessly, conducted a severe moral trial, and mocked and warned her in a frivolous tone. He warned Pan Jinlian that he would use public morality and his own fists to control her, and she must obey and behave. When Wu Song warned Pan Jinlian like this, he was confident that he had such power.

But the question is, do you Wu Song have such ability? In other words, can you carry out comprehensive monitoring of Pan Jinlian? You know, it is more difficult to keep an eye on a flirtatious woman than to keep ten thousand fleas in check. What happened next proved this point. Pulling back a woman who is leaning against others is like pushing away a wall that is falling toward oneself. After Wu Song left, Wu University scolded the woman for three or four days.Wu Da swallowed his anger and let him scold himself, he only followed his brother's words in his heart, only made half of the cakes for sale every day, and returned before it was too late, so he was scolded by Pan Jinlian again.As for him, he still responds to all changes with the same thing: swallow his breath.He seemed to think that as long as he kept doing this, he would win over his wife's heart, and she would live with him at ease.

In fact, Pan Jinlian may not even realize that subconsciously, she is always looking for a man she likes. Once she finds out, she will fall for him without hesitation. This person used to be Wu Song. Now, another person appeared.He is the tricky rogue Ximen Qing. Ximen Qing turned out to be just a poor and settled rich man in Yanggu County, who opened a herbal medicine shop in front of the county.This is a treacherous man who makes good fists and sticks; he specializes in official affairs in the county, makes tricks with others, talks about things for more than money, and traps officials.Therefore, people in Manxian County are afraid that he will let him go.He has become rich recently, and everyone calls him a senior official of Ximen.

Ximenqing met Pan Jinlian by chance, and was greedy for Pan Jinlian's beauty.So he set up a bureau with Wang Po to seduce Pan Jinlian.Pan Jinlian was also very proactive, and the two of them went to Wang Po's house every day to have fun.Wu Da went to catch rape with a half-old boy, brother Yun, but was kicked in the chest by Ximen Qing. Wu Da became ill for five days and was bedridden.And Pan Jinlian has no pity for her husband moaning on the bedside, no shame for her actions, and no restraint in dating Ximen Qing every day. She has transformed from a sympathetic person to an inhuman person.

Wu Da didn’t want soup or water; every day he saw Pan Jinlian go out with heavy makeup, and when he came back, his face was red. Wu was so angry that he forgot his brother’s order. , I came to catch you with my own hands, but you provoked the adulterer to kick me in the heart. So far, you have been trying to live and die, but you are going to be happy! I can die, I can't compete with you! My brother Wu Er, You must know his character; if he returns sooner or later, is he willing to rest? If you are willing to pity me, serve me early, and I will not mention it when he returns! If you don’t look at me, when he returns, you will be with me You talk!" Jin Shengtan commented: "The number of words is wonderful. However, Wu University died of this number of words."

Wuhan University asked Pan Jinlian a multiple-choice question: 1. Turn your back and be right, and serve me well, so I don't care about it anymore, and I don't tell Wu Song. Two, insist on going your own way, don't care about me, go and be happy, and when Wu Song comes back, you will look good. Poor Wuhan University, who thinks that Pan Jinlian will wake up and start a new life after moving out of Wu Song, and he will definitely pull Pan Jinlian back to his side. However, the clumsy and honest Wu Da didn't understand that pulling back a woman who was leaning towards others was like pushing away a wall that was leaning towards herself.

Both are extremely difficult things in the world. Sure enough, Pan Jinlian didn't even look at his multiple-choice question, and dismissed it.Why? Because these two choices are completely outside of her choice. Of course she wouldn't wait for Wu Song to come back to deal with her.However, it is impossible for her to withdraw her heart from now on and live with Wuhan University again. So, after hearing this, Pan Jinlian didn't reply, and went directly to Wang Po's house to discuss with Ximen Qing. That night, Pan Jinlian personally poisoned Wuhan University with the arsenic provided by Ximen Qing!
