Chapter 145: Angering Someone to Death Without Compensation
Zhao Linxin knew that there was no show for her today and looked at Luo Qiao, saying, "It seems my trip today was a waste. Girl, could you tell me what ’mama’s boy’ means?"
Luo Qiao said, "A mama’s boy is someone who always listens to his mother, always thinks his mother is right, and centers his world around his mother. Of course, it also refers to a child spoiled by his mother. In short, he prioritizes his mother’s opinion in everything.
Such a man is not someone to marry; he has no ideas of his own and always think his mother is right, his mind is simply soaked, I can’t accept that. Auntie, is there anything else you want to ask?"
As soon as Luo Qiao finished speaking, the onlookers outside burst into laughter. This ’mama’s boy’ was obviously referring to Gao Rusen, the Gao Family’s delicate third son who could hardly do much work and was as fragile as a girl.
Li Xiulan doted on him, never having him do any tough chores; he had the best to eat and wear. The most accurate description of Gao Rusen was that no matter what happened, he would always run back to Li Xiulan, and he’d always listen to her.
What a word, mama’s boy, so apt, so wonderful!
From then on, the people of Qingshan Village would call Gao Rusen ’mama’s boy,’ but that’s a story for another time.
Standing to the side, Li Xiulan was furious, saying, "You really think you’re some noble lady with all these demands; you’re just an orphan, fussing about nothing. Do you think college is that easy to get into?
Which unit you’ll work at, how much you’ll earn, do you think you’re worthy of others? Even the village folks would have to consider whether they want an orphan like you, with no family to lean on in times of trouble."
