Lu Zhan felt a headache coming on. He thought He Yan shouldn't agree. It was better to offend Xiao Hua's relatives than Xiao Hua's.
Unfortunately, He Yan had already agreed, and saying anything more would only add to his troubles. He was about to return to his unit, so he decided to let it go and not say anything more.
"Why do you think Xiaohua doesn't agree to her niece coming to live with him? Logically speaking, women should be very sympathetic to their own families, but sometimes I feel that Xiaohua's behavior is a bit heartless."
He Yan believed that nine out of ten women would side with their own family, like his mother, Su Qin.
Su Qin would often whisper in her father's ear, asking about which nephew or niece on her mother's side needed work or other tasks, constantly bothering him.
He wanted his father to arrange jobs or find good marriages for all his cousins.
Of course, his father rarely fulfilled his mother's wishes.
Why should she agree? She has to go to school, start her own business, do part-time work, and take care of her children at home. Where would she find the time to take care of her niece?
Although I haven't had any contact with your wife, based on your description, I feel she is a very intelligent woman.
She knows all too well how much she is capable of.
When her abilities are limited, she won't take on extra work for herself. Moreover, she has an advantage that others can't match: she dares to refuse.
Many of us are bound by social obligations, and even if we don't want to help, we will help out of consideration for face, and then we will feel very uncomfortable.
But your wife isn't like that. If she doesn't want to, she doesn't want to. I think that one day when she succeeds in her business and becomes very capable, she will naturally take the initiative to help her relatives from her family.
After Lu Zhan finished speaking, He Yan realized how big a mistake he had made.
He Yan was quite helpless: "This is the only time I will act on my own initiative."
Lu Zhan was worried about his future.
"Then you should beg her. She has so many brothers and nieces on her side. Won't the others be jealous if one of them comes? Don't they all want to come along? You'll see how you refuse them then, it'll be a real headache!"
He Yan sighed repeatedly: "Forget it, I don't care anymore. Anyway, I'm going back to the team. If I can't answer their calls, I'll just pretend I don't know anything."
"Then your wife will find out. They will definitely talk to your wife and say, 'So-and-so's daughter can go, why can't my daughter?'"
Wouldn't that give you away? You can't hide it for long, so He Yan, I advise you to take the initiative to confess to Xiao Hua and try to get leniency.
Lu Zhan had never met Xiao Hua, but he knew what kind of person she was from He Yan's descriptions.
Although He Yan couldn't say he spent every day with Xiao Hua, he definitely saw her more often than others, yet he still couldn't figure out what kind of person Xiao Hua was.
No wonder he's been relentlessly pursuing her for so long, but Xiaohua never even glances at him; he's just a bookworm who only knows how to study.
For the first time, Lu Zhan realized he wasn't any worse than He Yan. He Yan was just a clueless idiot who only knew how to study, train soldiers, and do research. No wonder his wife didn't like him, hahaha…
Lu Zhan found it extremely amusing to think about how He Yan would suffer a lot of setbacks and frustrations with his wife later on.
Seeing his childhood friend sad makes him happy!
"What if Xiaohua absolutely refuses to let her niece come over? I've already agreed to her request, so I'm stuck in a lose-lose situation."
He Yan is now filled with regret; how could he have done such a stupid thing?
Lu Zhan scratched his head and thought for a moment before saying on the phone, "I was going to tell you what to do, but then I realized that one lie requires countless more to cover it up, so I'll just leave it at that and tell Xiao Hua the truth."
Do whatever Xiaohua asks you to do, and don't offend her. After all, you'll be living with Xiaohua in the future, not with her brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces. So don't be afraid of offending them; just don't offend Xiaohua.
"The point is, it's no use telling me all this now. I've already agreed to let her come. Now, how do we get leniency from Xiaohua?"
He Yan had a terrible headache. He sighed, wondering why he couldn't do anything right in front of Xiao Hua. He had meant well and cared about her, which was why he was willing to go to the trouble of helping her family.
Oh no, Xiaohua won't appreciate his kindness at all. He's really tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead!
"It's better to tell the truth than to wait for your wife to interrogate you later!"
Lu Zhan racked his brains but couldn't come up with a good solution. He Yan resigned himself to his fate and thought that this was the only way.
He Yan stayed at Xiao Hua's house late into the night, mainly waiting for Xiao Hua to come back so he could say a few words to her.
"Dad, you come home very late every night. Are you waiting for my mom to come back?"
He Yan sat on Kang An's bed, while Kang An lay on his back, pulling on his hair and plucking it one by one. He Yan, who doted on his daughter, didn't feel any pain and let the child pull his hair. He really spoiled her.
Fortunately, he has the most hair and isn't afraid of Kang An's damage.
"Yes, Dad wants to talk to your mom."
He Yan patted Kang An's little bottom: "Baby, it's late, go to sleep. You have school tomorrow."
Kang An hugged his father's neck: "I don't want to sleep. I want to stay with Daddy a little longer. Daddy is leaving in a few days."
Humans aren't plants or trees; they can't be completely devoid of feelings. During this period, He Yan mainly accompanied Kang An, taking her to and from school, cooking and feeding her, helping her with her personal hygiene, and playing games with her.
Kang An had only just gotten used to He Yan's presence when he was about to leave again, leaving Kang An feeling somewhat lost.
Hearing the child's words, He Yan was moved to tears. All his efforts over the past few days had finally yielded some results.
Sure enough, his daughter told him that she wanted to spend more time with her father.
It's no exaggeration to say that He Yan's eyes were red, and he hugged his daughter tightly and kissed her little face.
"Daddy won't be gone for too long this time. Daddy is planning to transfer out of the army, so Daddy can stay here at sea and stay with you forever."
"Oh, it's okay if you don't come back. If you don't spend time with me, Mom will naturally spend time with me. When you do spend time with me, Mom always has this or that to do. She doesn't play with me, doesn't coax me to sleep, and doesn't take me to school. Actually, I'm a little angry with her."
He Yan stared at his daughter with wide eyes. Good heavens, he was so touched for nothing. Good grief, she complained that he spent every day with her, which meant her mother couldn't spend every day with her.
"Mom has very important things to do. She spent a lot of time with you in the past few years, so it's Dad's turn to spend more time with you now. Don't be angry with Mom, baby. She's had a tough time too."
He Yan genuinely felt that Xiao Hua had gone through a lot, and his heartache for her was real.
Kang An looked completely innocent: "I was just saying that. I was only a tiny bit angry. She's my beloved mother and my dearest baby. How could I possibly be very angry with her?"
