Chapter 308 Why can everyone say it, but I can’t say it?_1
"When someone of my age comes to see you, you should be grateful, not barring entry to your door. Is this how a younger generation should behave?"
"Does having money mean you can do without virtue? Just look at your behavior. He’s your very own Uncle Wang, an elderly man. Look at how you’re treating him!"
"Treating an elder in such a way shows he truly lacks any semblance of virtue!"
Hearing everyone’s rebukes and severe criticism, Wang Youbao became agitated. He too cared deeply about his reputation and hastily clasped his hands in a bow, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have my reasons for stopping someone at my door—"
Before Wang Youbao could finish, Wang Youtao loudly interjected, "My father, also your Uncle Wang, is already sixty years old. You stop him at your door and don’t allow him inside. You still think you have reasons? Is there such logic in this world?"
Uncle Wang quickly began pounding his chest and stamping his feet, exclaiming. "Oh heavens, how could I have a nephew like you. Big brother, oh, you died too unjustly. I am your very own brother. Look at your beloved son and how he treats me. If your spirit is watching from the heavens, take a look. He stops me at his door and claims he has his reasons. There’s no such logic in this world!"
Hearing this, An Jing and Xiao Changyi could tell that Uncle Wang and Wang Youtao clearly intended to tarnish Wang Youbao’s reputation.
The people here cared about reputation above all else.
As everyone listened to Wang Youtao and Uncle Wang’s words, the gathering neighbors didn’t think too much and fell into their trap, starting to denounce Wang Youbao and echoing the uncle and his son, saying there’s no such logic in the world.
