Chapter 260 Breaking Face
There is a term in psychology called psychological advantage. Its conceptual definition is quite complicated to explain, but in a more concrete way, it refers to a person's sense of superiority over others on a psychological level.
In Yuantong, for the past two generations, the An family has made a living by renting and cultivating the land of the Luo family. To use a philistine term, the An family belongs to the poor family, while the Luo family can be considered a poor family. He is now the richest man in Yuantong. , to go further, it can even be said that the An family can survive in Yuantong only by relying on the food provided by the Luo family. If the Luo family did not rent land to the An family for farming, the latter would probably not even have a means of making a living. there is none left.
To put it bluntly, if An Rusong had not existed, in a few years, after An's father, An's mother, and Luo Jinggen passed away, the brothers of the An family would still have to rely on "little fat man" to survive. Therefore, in the face of When the An family was settled, Luo Jinggen and his fat son actually had full psychological advantages. In their eyes, the An family was still the same family as before.
Yes, Luo Jinggen does know that An Rusong is different today. After all, this guy often appears in newspapers and TV. It is claimed that this guy has a net worth of more than 200 million US dollars. This avatar's net worth is much higher than that of An Rusong. He, the "richest man" in Yuantong, is too much. To be precise, the two are not on the same level at all. This is the most fundamental reason why Luo Jinggen wants to get married to the An family.
But having said that, even though he is the richest man in Wontong-ri and has always lived in Geondeok-myeon, in the end, both Wontong-ri and Geondeok-myeon are similar "backwaters", in the words of Seoul people. Generally speaking, Luo Jinggen, the richest man in Yuantong, is just a country boy. To put it harshly, he is a country bumpkin. His vision and knowledge are limited to such a large place.
In Luo Jinggen's eyes, An Rusong has indeed made his mark and become a big shot, but the difference between him and himself is just the amount of personal assets. To put it bluntly, An Rusong today is more valuable than Luo Jinggen. Now that they have money, other than that, there is no difference between the two.
What Luo Jinggen doesn't understand is that rich people with tens of millions of dollars and rich people with hundreds of millions of dollars are completely different existences. The difference between the two is not the amount of wealth, but the amount in their hands. There is a huge difference between the social resources and personal connections at hand.
In Seoul, who is dealing with An Rusong all day long? He is the president-elect, a member of Congress, the chief prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, the director of the district office, etc. And in Wontongli, who is Luo Jinggen dealing with all day long? At best, the members of parliament who are facing the parliament are farmers like An Jia. The two have different perspectives and perspectives on problems, but they are not on the same level.
When An Rusong saw Luo Jinggen, he didn't think much about it. He was just simply unhappy. Luo Jinggen also didn't think that much, so he didn't expect to give An Rusong enough respect.
"Haha, aren't all the people back?" Seeing the men from the An family walking in from outside, Luo Jinggen sat on the sofa without moving, just laughed and said, "Oh, this man is so rich that he can't It’s the same, look, it’s just that I haven’t seen him for half a year, Ru Song’s temperament, haha, it’s like he’s a different person.”
Opposite him, the expressions on the faces of An's mother and Rubin were quite embarrassed, especially Rubin. She was uneasy and embarrassed at the same time. The facial features on her small face were almost twisted together, but it happened to be opposite her. The little fat man kept staring at her, the greed in his eyes almost coming out of his pupils.
"Uncle Gen is here?" An Rusong was unhappy, but he didn't show it. He helped An's father to the sofa where An's mother and Rubin were sitting, glared at his sister, and scolded, "You're not in your own room." Why are you going out here to review your homework? Do you think you will definitely be admitted to Korea University?”
Rubin was stunned for a moment by his scolding and seemed a little at a loss.
"I'm telling you, if you don't get admitted to the Korea University School of Law, just do what your parents said, come back and find someone to marry," An Rusong winked at her, but continued to scold her. .
At this moment, Rubin finally understood what her brother meant. She bit her lip and stood up from the sofa. Her legs flew up quickly and she disappeared from the living room in the blink of an eye.
The moment she escaped from the living room, Rubin felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her body. At that moment, her eldest brother was so handsome. This was the first time that she could still feel this when she was being scolded. A heartfelt feeling.
As An Rusong said these words, Rubin was relieved, but Luo Jinggen, who was still sitting on the sofa, froze the smile on his face.
He just has little knowledge and narrow vision, and he is not really stupid. What An Rusong said should not be too clear. There is no doubt that at least he, the boss of the An family, does not approve of the marriage between the two families.
However, An Rusong didn't consider whether the expression on Luo Jinggen's face was good-looking. He helped An's father to sit down in front of Rubin's seat. Just as he was thinking about where to sit, he saw that Ruhui was very naughty. He brought a chair over and placed it next to him.
An Rusong was not polite. He sat down on the chair, then fumbled in his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes. While spreading the cigarettes for everyone, he said with a smile: "Uncle Gen, this is it"
When he spoke, his eyes were looking at the little fat man, but he seemed to have forgotten the little fat man's name, so he could not finish his words. "Brother, this is Brother Zaixun," Ruhui was not very smart and did not see his elder brother's intention, so he introduced in a low voice from the side. But after the introduction, he felt a little strange, because yesterday, he seemed to have mentioned the name of Gen Bo's brother Zai Xun.
"Ah, yes, Zai Xun," An Rusong seemed to have just remembered it. He looked at the little fat man and said with a smile, "Well, yes, Zai Xun, he seems to be three years older than Bin, right? Have you ever gone to school? University? How about your academic performance? ”
Luo Zaixun was not at ease at all. When he saw that the other party did not give him any cigarettes, he took out a pack from his pocket and lit one for himself as if no one else was around. Looking at the way he held and lit the cigarette, it was obvious that Already an old smoker.
Faced with the little fat man's rudeness, An Rusong didn't mind. He looked away from him with a smile, turned to look at Luo Jinggen, and said with a smile: "Uncle Gen, it's not like Zai Xun didn't go to college, right? Haha , In today’s society, people who don’t go to school, have no education, and don’t have a diploma have no future. Could it be that Gen Bo wants his descendants to live by collecting land rent?”
"Rusong," An's mother called him anxiously.
The old people have a cautious temper. Whether it is An's father or An's mother, they may have changed their stance on Rubin's marriage, but they still hope to have a good talk with Luo Jinggen. Even if the marriage fails, there is no need to talk about it. The faces of the two families were torn apart.
But there was obviously something wrong with An Rusong's attitude. His tone of voice was too aggressive, and his words were sarcastic and sarcastic about Luo Zaixun's lack of education and being unworthy of Rubin. As for the rudeness shown by Luo Jinggen and his son, neither old man felt it, or in other words, they were used to it, and they didn't think there was anything rude about the other's gesture.
"Haha, Rusong is really promising," Luo Jinggen's face was already ugly. He still said the same thing. In his mind, An Rusong is richer than him at best. If the two families can get married, It would be a good thing for the Luo family, but if the marriage fails, the Luo family will have nothing to lose.
After all, An Rusong is rich because he has set up some kind of IT company, which is engaged in Internet business, and the basic base of his Luo family is on the land in Yuantongli. He relies on rent collection and operating some supermarkets. This kind of business comes to make money. The two parties' businesses are completely unrelated, so he naturally does not need to have any respect for An Rusong.
To be honest, An Rusong looked down on him, Luo Jinggen, and thought he was a country bumpkin and a country bumpkin. Luo Jinggen also looked down upon him. In their eyes, he was just a nouveau riche who suddenly got rich without any background at all. . Not to mention anything else, in Yuantong, is his old An family qualified to compete with the old Luo family for influence?

Since the other party did not save face for him, Luo Jinggen would not wrong himself and be humble in front of the other party. Therefore, he said coldly: "Now he no longer looks down on those of us who rely on the fields for a living."
< br>
With a simple sarcasm, he turned his gaze to An's father, who looked uneasy, and said: "An Laosan, if you don't say anything, do you acknowledge that Rusong has taken charge of your family's affairs?"
An's father has three brothers, and he is the youngest. The old people in Yuantong are indeed accustomed to calling him "An Lao San", but Luo Jinggen is younger than An's father in age. Even though he is only a few years younger, that is juniors. It is definitely not polite for a junior to use the title "An Laosan" to refer to his senior.
However, in the living room at this time, no one except An Rusong thought that Luo Jingen's behavior was too much, because he had always called An's father this way.
"Luo Laosi, who is in charge of our family? Do I need to report to you?" An Rusong said before An's father could speak.
Hearing the other party call his father "An Lao San", the smile on An Rusong's face disappeared. He spoke unceremoniously before An's father could speak.
Luo Jinggen was the fourth of five brothers. He disrespected his elders and called An's father "An Lao San". An Rusong called him "Luo Laosi" instead. There seemed to be nothing wrong with him.
"Axi~~~" An Rusong just finished his sentence. Luo Zaixun, who was sitting opposite, was already angry. He was cursing and wanted to get up, but a hand reached out from behind and pressed him on his shoulder. .
