Chapter 640: Chapter 308: How Can a Proud Man Dine on Charity?_1
“Husband, it’s already noon. It’s time to go home for lunch…”
Her appearance was quite pretty.
She had the air of a delicate, fair-skinned young lady.
With her head lowered, she quietly walked up to the somewhat sleazy-looking Ergouzi and whispered these words.
“Lunch?”
Ergouzi touched his somewhat deflated belly, licked his lips, and with a smile, said, “I am a bit hungry. Go ahead, you return first, I’ll follow shortly.”
After saying this, Ergouzi waved his hand at the woman beside him.
It was only after the woman, who had the look of delicate, fair-skinned young lady, turned around and began to walk away,
that Ergouzi approached his good friend while sneakily smirking.
“How about that?”
“My wife isn’t bad, is she?”
“Isn’t she good?”

“Speak up, speak up…”
Ergouzi flaunted excitedly beside the middle-aged man.
Meanwhile, the sturdy-bodied middle-aged man,
listening to these words, watching the lady who resembled a delicate, fair-skinned young lady, walk away,
a look of disbelief surfaced on his face.
Following the disbelief, envy and jealousy slowly emerged in his heart.
The middle-aged man clenched his teeth.
He stared intently at Ergouzi beside him, who looked rather sleazy and seemingly useless, and said through gritted teeth, “You should be damned, truly damned. How did you find such a beautiful, pretty, and gentle wife? I wonder, you don’t have much in terms of property, so what gives you the right? What gives you the right, huh???”
Unacceptable.
The middle-aged man found this reality somewhat difficult to accept.
Actually, if Ergouzi had found a wife,
it wasn’t completely unimaginable for him.
What he couldn’t accept was, considering Ergouzi’s financial situation and his appearance,
how could he?
How on earth did he manage to marry such a wife?
Don’t people always say, marriages should match in social status?
Why did this marriage not follow any conventional logic?
“Quickly tell me, by what means?”
“By what means?”
The middle-aged man’s eyes reddened slightly, his strong arms tightly wrapping around Ergouzi’s head.
This made Ergouzi’s breathing somewhat difficult for a moment.
“Let go, let go, release me…”
Ergouzi repeatedly patted his good friend’s sturdy arm.
Only after he stepped back several paces,
and felt he was no longer in danger,
did he uncomfortably rub his neck.
“Didn’t I just tell you?”
“With the current chaos throughout the Great Flame Dynasty,
“Countless citizens are suffering.
“Plus, with the generous benefits in our Qingshi City,
“basically any male residents here can have countless women throw themselves into their arms.”
“Even if you’re penniless, it doesn’t matter,
“because the woman’s side has money.
“As long as you can marry her and bring her relatives into Qingshi City, that’s good enough.”
After Ergouzi finished speaking,
he looked at his friend, who seemed still dazed,
and quietly turned to go.
He seemed ready to leave the place.
But, before he had taken a few steps,
Ergouzi turned back around, looked at his still dazed friend once more, and couldn’t help but whisper a piece of advice, “Your situation isn’t much different from mine, no money at home, under normal circumstances, getting married and having children is extremely difficult. Since such a good opportunity now presents itself, I advise you not to miss it.”
“If you miss this, I guess you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.”
The middle-aged man, after hearing this, clenched his teeth and said with a trace of defiance, “If I really do what you suggested, wouldn’t I become someone living off a woman?”
Ergouzi smirked and whispered lowly, “What’s wrong with living off a woman? Others, even if they want to, might not get the chance to have such an easy life. We should appreciate our luck.”
The middle-aged man shook his head, looking at Ergouzi with a resolute expression, and said, “How do you know this will be my life forever?”
“Am I never going to amount to anything?”
Ergouzi scoffed softly and said, “Who knows about the future?
“But I think, for people like us, it’s better to be a little more pragmatic and down-to-earth,
“Instead of always thinking about those unlikely, unrealistic things.
“You better think it over.
“I have to go now, my wife is waiting for me at home.”
“Oh, one more thing I forgot to tell you,
“A few days ago, I moved, and now my home is close to the inner city of Qingshi City,
“Though I still haven’t made it into the inner city, I’m still in the outer city,
“But at least, it’s much better than those living in the outermost area.”
Having said that,
Ergouzi bounced away, seemingly in high spirits as he left the place.
And the sturdy-bodied middle-aged man,
watching his good friend Ergouzi’s retreating figure,
couldn’t help but clench his teeth tightly.
Even though he was almost grinding his teeth to pieces,
the envy and jealousy in his heart,
still had not diminished in the slightest.
