Chu Xingyue's heart was in turmoil. In her past life, the educational philosophy of her family of origin for ten years revolved around the idea that girls were a financial burden, forced to be servants in their parents' home, caring for their younger brothers, and expected to unconditionally support their brothers both financially and physically after marriage, while also supporting their parents. In short, they were expected to contribute both materially and financially to their parents' family. If it weren't for the later unexpected events, she would likely have become what later generations would call a "brother-obsessed demon."
Now the old man is actually teaching her to protect herself first when she encounters trouble, meaning that if there is danger, she should take care of herself first and ignore others? This is completely different from the educational philosophy she received in her previous life. Chu Xingyue was deep in thought and even fell into self-doubt.
Chu Jiaojiao didn't have any grand ambitions. She did whatever her master said. Anyway, her master wouldn't harm her. Following her master meant she would get to fight and have plenty of food. All she had to do was protect An'an. If others bullied them, they would fight back if they could win, and if they couldn't, they would just run away. Anyway, she was fast, and she was sure she could escape even if she took An'an with her.
But Chu Jiaojiao now would never have imagined that she would become a person with completely different thoughts in the future.
Chu Qian looked at his two children and knew they had taken his words to heart. He didn't need to worry too much about his children. As long as he gave them appropriate advice when they needed him and kept them on the right track, they wouldn't go astray.
Su Jin and Liu Nuoling, mother and daughter-in-law, sat quietly in chairs, listening to the old man instructing the two girls in the family, without interrupting Chu Xingyue, who was deep in thought at the moment.
She's better now, so we must teach her what needs to be taught. We need to let her know that the path they walk before they become adults requires two girls to support each other, and that home is always their safe haven.
Looking at the two delicate and sweet girls, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt their hearts overflowing. No matter how hard they tried before, An'an was always quiet and wouldn't respond, while Jiaojiao was a restless and lively little devil. Over the years, she had fought with anyone who bullied An'an. Their true nature hadn't been suppressed all these years. Behind closed doors, a family that outsiders couldn't see encouraged, supported, and comforted each other over the years. The hardships they endured were truly unspeakable to outsiders. The weight that had been pressing on their hearts for so many years was lifted; their anger subsided, and they felt hopeful for the future.
Chu Xingyue, who was in a daze, came to her senses. She didn't blame Chu Qian for teaching them to protect themselves like this. He was the pillar of the family. There were old people and young children, and the family also had secrets that no one could tell. His gradually aging face had always supported the family. No one in the family could make a mistake, otherwise it would be a big blow not only to the family but also to those who were working hard outside.
Just look at how this family dresses their little granddaughter, who seems a bit simple-minded, up so beautifully, and how they've raised her to this day. You can tell how kind and tolerant this family is. Although I haven't met her uncle or two cousins yet, just looking at the clothes, shoes, milk powder that's hard to find in the village, chocolate, and many other things that others have never seen before, you can tell how much they love their little girl.
Her parents, who make a living without makeup, must be thinking of her and missing her from somewhere they can't see.
From her grandfather's hesitant words, Chu Xingyue believed that they must be thinking of her and missing everyone in the family somewhere. Under the leadership of such a kind and wise head of the family, everyone in this family would definitely be well-off. Chu Xingyue didn't know how other families treated their children, but judging from how everyone in this family treated Chu Xingyue, she was certain that the little girl was the darling of the family.
Chu Xingyue, who had been adrift and without a sense of belonging, felt completely at ease at this moment, as if her soul had been elevated. Her pursed lips curled up slightly, and her heart was filled with anticipation for the days to come.
