Chapter 261 Who is afraid of whom?
Luo Zaixun was rather fat and looked big. Not to mention his strength, the inertia of that pile of flesh when it moved was not to be underestimated. But even so, when he was halfway up, he was still pushed back to the sofa by the hand that stretched out from behind.

His butt just touched the sofa, Luo Zaixun was still not convinced, he straightened his waist twice, but the hand on his shoulder was like a thousand-pound rock, pressing him down so hard that his butt was firmly stuck to the sofa and he couldn't lift it up.

Luo Zaixun was already irritated by An Rusong's words, and now he was pinned by his shoulders and couldn't move, which made him even more furious. He looked behind him with a red face and saw that the person holding him down was an expressionless young man who didn't look very strong. He turned sideways without thinking and reached for the other's clothes.

The person who held down Luo Zaixun was naturally Luo Minzhi. Although he was not as tall and strong as the former, as a well-trained professional mercenary and bodyguard, he had no problem dealing with an ordinary person.

In a rage, Luo Zaixun tried to grab Luo Minzhi's clothes, drag him from behind the sofa, and throw him to the ground. Unexpectedly, his outstretched hand was caught by the other party. Then, before he could react, the other party grabbed his wrist and twisted it hard. At the same time, the hand that was originally on his shoulder pressed down hard.
"Ah!" Luo Zaixun felt that his arm was about to be twisted off by the other party. He subconsciously twisted his body back, and his originally straight waist was forced to bend.

"What are you doing?!" Hearing his son's screams, Luo Jinggeng no longer cared about arguing with An Rushong. He stood up from the sofa and shouted, "Let go!"

Luo Minzhi ignored him and just locked Luo Zaixun's arm tightly. At the same time, he turned his gaze to An Rushong opposite him.

"Rushong..." An's father and mother were worried that the scene would become too ugly, and they were even more worried that the two sides would start fighting. Of course, the most important thing was that the old couple instinctively had a timid mentality when facing Luo Jinggeng. If they had a choice, they would not dare to break off relations with the other party at all.

An Rusong signaled his parents to stay calm. Then, he leaned over and took the only ashtray from the coffee table in front of the sofa. He flicked the ash on the edge of the ashtray and said slowly, "People should be polite. When facing seniors, even if you don't use honorifics, you should know what propriety is."

The hand holding the ashtray loosened, and the ashtray, which was still two or three centimeters away from the coffee table, fell onto the coffee table with a bang. An Rushong continued, "I am the most fair person. If others are polite, I am polite. If others say that I have lost my sense of propriety, I will also lose my sense of propriety."

"So, Uncle Gen," An Rushong stood up from the sofa, stepped forward, and stood in front of Luo Jinggeng, whose face was almost red, and said, "If I hear you calling my dad in a teasing way again in the future, I will get a few loud speakers and call you 'Luo Lao Si' every day."

"Okay, okay, okay." Luo Jinggeng was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He looked at An's father fiercely and said in a hoarse voice, "No one cares about this, right? You, the An family, have become so rich that you don't recognize anyone, right?!"

An's father and mother looked embarrassed. As they said before, they did not agree with An Rusong's current behavior because they did not think that Luo Jinggeng did not respect them. It was not the first time that Luo Jinggeng used the title "An Lao San". What was wrong with that? As for honorifics, when did Luo Jinggeng use honorifics to address them?
An Rushong could naturally see what his parents were thinking. He did not agree with the old couple's ideas, but he was too lazy to explain to them.

After all, as a junior, why should Luo Jinggeng call his senior father "An Lao San"? After all, isn't it because he is rich? Isn't it because the An family is poor? Since etiquette is based on the amount of money, then An Rusong is much richer than Luo Jinggeng now, so what's wrong with him calling him "Luo Lao Si"?
However, seeing that the old couple's expressions remained unchanged, An Rushong did not want to make things difficult for them. After all, the old couple still had a psychological fear of Luo Jinggeng. After all, their family rented land from others and relied on them for a living.

Furthermore, the An family had been in poverty for too long and had been at the bottom of society for too long. They had become accustomed to being timid and fearful. Let alone having a conflict with Luo Jinggeng, even if they had a conflict with a neighbor with a similar family background, the old couple would feel guilty.

This kind of mentality needs some time to adjust, and it may even take the old couple a lifetime to adjust. However, the younger brothers should have no problem.

Without continuing to argue with Luo Jinggeng, An Rusong turned to look at Luo Minzhi and said, "Okay, Minzhi, send the two guests out."

Luo Minzhi nodded. He ignored Luo Jinggeng and just twisted Luo Zaixun's arm and dragged him out of the living room while he howled in pain.

Luo Jinggeng naturally saw that in the current An family, the person who can really make the decision is no longer An's father, but An Rusong, who does things without mercy. At this moment, seeing that An's father and mother did not say anything, An Rusong was expressionless and indifferent again. In addition, his son was still crying out in pain at the door, so he did not want to say anything more. He just said "OK" a few times in a fierce tone, and then went out angrily. After Luo Jinggen went out, after a while, Luo Zaixun's angry curses came from outside the courtyard again, but he only cursed a few times and then there was no movement. Then, there was the sound of a car starting up, and it was estimated that the father and son drove away.

"Hey, how could it turn out like this?" In the living room, An's mother looked at a loss, mumbling, "This is not a marriage that ended in an enmity, how could it turn out like this?"

Father An's cigarette had not been lit yet, so he took the lighter with trembling hands and prepared to light the cigarette.

Seeing him reaching for the lighter, An Rusong took the lead and lit the cigarette for him. Then he said, "It's not that we want to make enemies with him, but if this marriage fails, our two families will become enemies."

He paused and continued, "Mom, think about it. For so many years, at least since I can remember, has there ever been a time when our family didn't do what Luo Laosi proposed? When we rented their land and paid them money every year, was it always Luo Laosi who had the final say? When they asked us to do something or some work, when have we ever refused?"

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the ground one meter in front of him. "Since I was this tall, I have been helping them move the sacrificial offerings and helping with their sacrificial ceremonies every New Year. Not only do I work for free, but after the sacrifice, their children eat snacks and I can only watch."

If it wasn't mentioned, An Rushong really didn't realize that deep in his memory, his predecessor had a lot of resentment towards the Luo family. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why he spoke rudely to Luo Jinggeng.

"In the final analysis, Luo Laosi really treats our family as a tenant of his Luo family," An Rusong snorted as he picked up another cigarette, and said, "As long as he proposes something, we have to accept it without reservation, otherwise he will think that we are ungrateful."

An's father and mother looked at each other and were speechless. They knew that what An Rusong said was true. As for the marriage between Rubin and Luo Zaixun, as long as the An family disagreed, Luo Jinggeng would definitely turn against them, which was the fundamental reason why An's father and mother were so uneasy.

but.
"But we were indeed at fault for breaking off the engagement," Father An said after taking a few puffs of his cigarette in silence. "If this gets out, won't everyone in the neighborhood be saying bad things about us?"

"Yes," An's mother agreed, "What's more, there are so many people who rent the Luo family's land."

"Why do you care what others say?" An Rushong said disapprovingly. He didn't care about other people's opinions in the first place. To be honest, who cares about other people's opinions if they can really make a name for themselves?
However, as soon as he said this, he realized something was wrong. He didn't care about other people's opinions, but his father and mother couldn't do that, and neither could his three younger brothers. If he planned to move his family to Seoul, he wouldn't have to care about what outsiders said or how they viewed him. But the problem was that, at least in the short term, he had no plans to move his family to Seoul, so he would naturally have to consider the concerns of his parents and brothers.

"Don't worry, I will arrange everything," An Rushong patted An's mother's knee, slowed down his tone, and comforted her with a smile.

In fact, An Rusong really didn't take the rural public opinion issue too seriously. Yuantongli was actually a small, secluded village. The villagers were simple, but also realistic, and even mercenary. When they looked at how a family lived, they didn't look at whether the family was kind or honest, but whether the family had money.

Luo Jinggeng was very influential in Yuantong, but was this influence due to his high moral character? The answer was obviously not. The reason why this guy's words were effective in Yuantong was because he was rich and had a lot of land. Many families rented his land and even those who did not rent his land might ask him for help. As a result, naturally no one wanted to offend him.

Compared to the Luo family, the An family is naturally an invisible existence in Yuantong. Even though everyone knows that An Rushong has become rich, his prosperity has nothing to do with other people. He has no land to rent to others, and he can't help others. To the villagers in Yuantong, he is just a... "Legend"?
