Ji Wanmei said, "Actually, I did try to persuade my dad. If he wanted to find another partner, I wouldn't object. But my dad himself doesn't want to. He just wants to spend the rest of his life with the memories of my mom. I thought about it and decided to let him be. Anyway, I'll take care of him when he retires and gets old."

"That's true. With such a well-behaved and sensible daughter as you, what else does he need to comfort himself?"

As they were talking, Ji Xingguo returned from outside.

He returned with a bucket of fish, his face stern.

Ji Wanmei could tell at a glance that her father was still soft-hearted. Although he said he didn't want his aunt and uncle to come to the house, he actually went fishing early in the morning and came back around noon.

"Dad, it's so cold, how did you manage to catch so many fish?"

Ji Xingguo said, "I fished with your Uncle Wang and the others."

After saying that, he glanced at Shi Manlu and her husband indifferently, then turned and went into the kitchen.

Mr. and Mrs. Shi looked at each other, feeling quite helpless.

Ji Wanmei quickly whispered, "Auntie, Uncle, please don't mind him. That's just how my dad is. He's stubborn but soft-hearted. He knew you were coming, so he went fishing on his own!"

Shi Manlu nodded: "I understand. It's just like your grandfather back then. Even though your mother had already given birth to you, he still wouldn't accept your father. He was angry with us, but we don't blame him. But now that your grandfather has passed away, it's just the two of us who are family. Why hold a grudge about what happened back then?"

As Ji Wanmei watched her father busy cleaning fish in the kitchen, she suddenly thought of herself and Lei Tingjun.

If her father also refuses to accept Lei Tingjun, will she follow in her mother's footsteps?

No, she must have a better solution.

A way to get her father and Lei Tingjun to get along harmoniously.
