Chapter 198: Chapter 142: Indulgence (Part 3)

Lin Lishan glanced at him sideways, "I’m not stupid. Besides, I never had anything—those are all Jiao Jiao’s dowry. We’re out of money too, still waiting for my mom to return my savings. Anyway, you’re back, just like before, you’re the steward. I’ve seen through it. Before, they took advantage of your absence and didn’t openly scheme against me, plus my dad was around. This time you’re back, my younger sister sourly said that it’s a pity for Jiao Jiao’s courtyard to be empty. I just ignored her. She secretly urged my mom to intervene. I told my mom to ask them to speak to you or Jiao Jiao. Do they really think I’m naive? They don’t dare to approach you. This belongs to Jiao Jiao, it’s hers. If you hadn’t come back, they’d probably have moved in first."

Zhou Jiao saw her getting angrier and quickly comforted, "Mom, don’t be upset, remember that for over the years, my aunt has always sent parcels to me. You should appreciate her kindness. Besides, getting envious and jealous is only natural, so just listen and don’t take it to heart.

We should also be considerate of her; my uncle isn’t like my dad, they’re siblings, and she’s not doing as well as you, so it’s natural that she might feel a bit unfair. It’s okay to speak out, just worry about them secretly causing trouble. As long as it’s not a matter of your principles, just let it go in one ear and out the other.

Take the courtyard, for example, though she bought one too, moving in would make it difficult to get her to leave later. This involves principle and stance problems. If you agree, then our other aunts might ask to borrow a house too, and you’d turn into foes if you refuse.

So, you did the right thing this time, sticking to your principles and stance. Even if those cousins get married without a house, they won’t plot against you. Knowing it’s impossible, why should we push for it? I’ll try my best to sort these things out during this visit to Beijing, to avoid awkwardness with relatives later.

You just ignore those who are jealous or envious. Whenever you get angry, just remind yourself that you’re so excellent and happy that others are jealous! How lucky am I? Forgive those foolish humans!" After speaking, Zhou Jiao laughed herself onto the kang.

Zhou Xiaozheng started listening attentively to his daughter, and in the end, she became more carefree. He affectionately watched her laughing with bright spirits. His Jiao Jiao often lets her childish side show in front of them. It’s good, as long as she doesn’t have any mental knots. It’s essential to maintain decorum in front of others, masking emotions, while in front of them, she is as innocent as a child. His daughter is quite adept in human affairs, unlike Zhao Yuanyuan’s childishness, which is not hers.

Lin Lishan laughed and hugged her, soothing, "Alright, then mom will forgive those silly humans. Lucky for you, mom met dad, and had you."

Zhou Xiaozheng cheerfully watched his wife and daughter laughing together. He had a wise daughter with a gentle heart, adept at managing interpersonal relationships. If ordinary girls heard their courtyard being eyed, they’d likely jump in anger.
