Chapter 617 - 600: Old Colleague in Trouble
Lu Hongjun practiced Tai Chi in the park, and after finishing, he played chess with a few old men. Since the incident where he fell on the bus, Lu Shan and Da Mai were reluctant to let him pick up the kids, so Chaoyang Park became his activity area.
He checked the time; it was past five, and it was time to go back for dinner. After tidying up and saying goodbye to his old buddies, he leisurely made his way home.
An old man said enviously, "Sigh, I used to think having many children was a blessing, but now I think having just one might be better, less trouble."
Because his wife went to another province to take care of their youngest son’s child, his eldest complained that they were biased toward the youngest, while the second accused him of always siding with the eldest, feeling like an outsider himself.
Someone who didn’t get along with Lu Hongjun said, "What’s there to envy? His daughter went to Hong Kong and doesn’t care about him. He’ll have to rely on his stepchildren; just wait and see, he’ll end up crying!"
He wasn’t envious of Lu Hongjun at all, not at all.
The old man who had just spoken smiled and said, "You don’t know. The house he lives in now was bought by his daughter; even that little car is hers. With a phone call, she comes right over. As for being bullied by his stepchildren, his big nephew lives just three or four hundred meters away and visits him daily."
The old man who didn’t get along with Lu Hongjun snorted, "If his daughter were truly filial, she should have taken him to Hong Kong instead of leaving him here."
