Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Chapter 93: Persuading Mother

Zhou Jiao looked at her tearful mother, reached out to hold her, and said seriously to her, "Mom, I don’t refuse your kindness, nor do I blame you. I will put myself in your shoes. If I were you, when Xiao Wu went missing and doubts arose, I would also keep Ping’an with my mother-in-law while I searched with all my might. I understand your feelings for Dad.

Perhaps others don’t understand, but I know. If something happened to Xiao Wu, my only belief in life would be the same as yours: that he is still alive, waiting for me to find him. Little Ping’an can be safe and carefree. Once I find his father, we can be a family together, and we will have a complete home. So, as I grew up, I understood how hard it must have been for you, and I certainly won’t blame you.

Besides, everyone in this world has their own personality. I’ve been straightforward and low-key since young, even if I grew up by your side, I wouldn’t be flamboyant.

If I were like those kids in the Big Courtyard, eating and drinking foolishly, wasting each day with no goals, do you think such a daughter would be like you or like Dad?

You and Dad are not the sort to have no goals, to eat and drink foolishly, right? So, there is no need to look at how other girls behave. The Big Courtyard has both wild ones and obedient ones.

You’re my mom, so I naturally accept all you give me. Otherwise, with my personality, do you think I’d accept such valuable items like big sums of money, property deeds, and savings books? Do you see me cautiously accepting them? I don’t! The things that belong to you and Dad are mine by right. It’s just me now. If I don’t accept them, should I wait for you to give them to someone else?

As for me being frugal, afraid you’ll run out of money, that’s true. Every time you see me, you bestow a huge fortune upon me, along with two property deeds. I’m genuinely worried you’ll give me all the wealth you have, leaving nothing for yourself, just relying on your salary, thinking it’ll be enough for Dad to support you.

In that case, I have to save, and not spend the money. When you run out of money, I can keep it for emergencies. The future is uncertain, and there’s always a need for a sense of crisis. Dad has given me all the valuable jewelry and houses, and what if you and Dad have more children in the future?

When they grow up, have children, and form their own families, how much money will they need? By then, you and Dad will be retired. I can’t let you carry such a burden, can’t let you live in hardship, can I?

I’m the eldest daughter, so I have to be filial and take care of you both. I must shoulder the responsibility of looking after my younger siblings, of letting them grow up happily, of getting married and having kids.

With all your and Dad’s finances in my hands, what if I spend it all? What will happen to them afterward? So, I can’t spend extravagantly. Besides, I’m not fond of large expenditures. Enough money is sufficient; more is just numbers. I see you’re not tight-fisted, so I should help you alleviate concerns.

This is my nature, helping you safeguard these things. You should just do whatever you like, free from the control of money, happily living with Dad."

Lin Lishan wiped her tears, listening intently, realizing her daughter pondered deeply and thought a lot. She didn’t expect her to consider their retirement plans, causing her to worry for her. It was amusing, indeed a naturally worrying person by heart.
