Every time Lord Wang lectured fatty Wang, he would say,"the first place I went to was so poor, so poor, so poor, so I almost died in the hands of the bandits."
In any case, it was all kinds of hard work. For more than 20 years, he trembled in fear and trepidation until he reached the state magistrate of Tongzhou. His ultimate goal was to enter the capital and become an official. He had no thoughts of entering the cabinet and so on. He just wanted to stay in the officialdom for a few more years and let fatty Wang improve. As the Father, he could not bring glory to the family, so he placed his hopes on his son.
What he meant was,"I've made you suffer, and you're starting off much better than I was back then. But you still don't want to improve. Who are you trying to anger to death?"
