The son didn't know why he was so concerned about these issues, but Jiang Nuan understood that he had realized the impact his family had on Huangjiakou.
That's why they subconsciously connected the Tie family's affairs with their own.
He himself did not realize that he had unknowingly touched upon the essence of the problem. This kind of keenness was unmatched by either his third son or his youngest son.
They are both intelligent, but they wouldn't think that deeply, or rather, they wouldn't be that sensitive.
"Mother, you don't blame your son?"
"What's it to you?"
"You're just making trouble out of nothing," Huang Laoda explained, scratching his head sheepishly. "I didn't mean it that way. I just feel that a lot of things have happened recently, and they're all related to us. I feel a little guilty about what Aunt Laisheng is like."
As he spoke, Boss Huang lowered his head.
He felt he had really gone too far this time.
Even if this matter is indeed related to your family, it was someone else who made the mistake first. How can you let your imagination run wild just because someone else suffered a tragic fate?
“You didn’t do anything wrong this time. Keeping these questions in your heart will only make them a knot. Only by speaking them out and clearing up your doubts can you untie the knot in your heart,” Jiang Nuan said, and continued to teach earnestly. “That’s just how things are in this world. Different statuses lead to different consequences. Now, even if our family does nothing, others will still do certain things out of consideration.”
You don't need to feel guilty. Our family can indeed influence other people's choices, but we can't make decisions for them. Ultimately, they are the ones in charge. As long as we don't do anything that would make us feel guilty, that's enough.
“That’s right, as long as we don’t do anything wrong,” Huang Laoda said, as if he had been enlightened. The gloom in his heart vanished instantly. “Mother, I understand. I won’t have any more wild thoughts in the future.”
“Good that you understand,” Jiang Nuan reached out and pushed open the window, looking at the red plum blossoms in the corner of the wall, and said wistfully, “It is human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm. Most people will bully the weak and fear the strong. That is why some people are willing to fight tooth and nail to get ahead. They don’t want to be the ones who are trampled on. They can only grit their teeth and climb up. The current status of the second branch is what your grandparents, uncle and aunt and I fought for. What happens in the future will ultimately depend on you.”
She will do her best to pave the way for her son, but in the future, they will ultimately have to rely on themselves.
Huang Laoda's change made Jiang Nuan reflect on herself, wondering if her decision to give up on nurturing her eldest and second eldest sons was too arbitrary.
Admittedly, neither of them is very smart, especially the second son, who is simple-minded and straightforward, but not at all steady, which makes people really worried.
But in fact, every child has their own strengths.
Like the eldest son, although he is not as smart as his two younger sons, he is exceptionally perceptive and has become very steady due to the trials he has undergone. With proper guidance, he may very well achieve great things.
There's also the second son, who isn't very smart, but he's very obedient and has an exceptionally accurate intuition. Although he's a bit silly, I've never seen him suffer any losses.
The more Jiang Nuan thought about it, the more she felt she should change her strategy.
Previously, all her training plans focused on Huang Xiaosan, with the eldest and second eldest as secondary. Now, she has decided to be impartial.
I used to think things were different; life was peaceful and uneventful, and I treated my eldest and second children better.
Is this really the reality?
How unfair it is to dismiss them without even trying them!
As a mother, even if it's for the child's good, she shouldn't be so authoritarian, failing to give her child even the most basic respect and trust.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nuan fell silent.
She always thought she was fair and impartial, but unknowingly almost made a big mistake.
"It seems that I still have a lot to learn on the path of motherhood."
After saying that, she laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Mother," Huang Laoda asked in confusion, not having heard Jiang Nuan's whisper clearly, "What did you just say?"
"It's nothing," Jiang Nuan changed the subject. "Boss, go and call the three of them over. Don't forget your cousin."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After Huang Laoda left, Jiang Nuan picked up her pen and wrote a letter.
The content still involved borrowing manpower, but it wasn't to appease the Tie brothers; it was for his own son.
Professional tasks should be handled by professionals. Asking a mentor for guidance is more efficient than trying to do it yourself if you're only half-baked.
Her son has already wasted a lot of time; now, she must seize every minute and second.
When the four of them arrived at the hall, they all stared at Jiang Nuan with utter confusion.
"Mother," Huang Xiaosan asked疑惑地, "has something happened?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Boss Huang, feeling that this matter was somehow related to his older brother.
“There is indeed something,” Jiang Nuan said seriously, her expression turning serious. “First of all, I want to apologize to my eldest and second eldest sons. I had a prejudice against you two before, thinking that you were not up to any good and that I was biased.”
Upon hearing this, all four of them were stunned.
Especially Huang and his companion, their faces were full of unease.
“Mother, what are you saying?” Old Huang stood up nervously. “Mother is very good to her son. Her son is not as smart as the mistress and can’t handle things.”
“I’m not even as smart as my eldest brother,” Huang Lao Er immediately chimed in, “I was never of much use to begin with, Mother, don’t blame yourself.”
Huang Lao Er truly felt that way.
Although they both started learning to read, Huang Laoda started a little later, but he was the worst in the family. He felt that he was the piece of rotten wood that Xiao Si often talked about.
He knew that Jiang Nuan didn't value him, but he didn't care at all. He was stupid and slow to learn, so it was useless for her to value him.
Even with self-awareness, there was still a slight bitterness in my heart.
I'm just usually carefree and subconsciously overlooked it.
Hearing Jiang Nuan say that, he realized that he was actually still a little bit bothered.
It was this sentence that allowed him to completely let go of the past.
What he wanted from beginning to end was Jiang Nuan's approval.
This kind of recognition cannot be replaced by any amount of meat or money.
This statement also had a great impact on Jiang Chao.
The first time he saw an elder swallow their pride and apologize to a younger person was because of something that shouldn't even matter.
Yes, in Jiang Chao's eyes, this kind of thing really doesn't need to be taken seriously.
Human nature is biased; it's impossible to truly treat everyone equally. There's nothing wrong with giving important positions to smart and ambitious children.
Whether it's food, clothing, or household items, my aunt is impartial and unbiased, which is already very rare.
She has fulfilled her responsibilities as an elder.
Jiang Chao felt that having an aunt as a mother was a blessing for Huang Laoda and the others.
Now, my aunt is apologizing for her bias.
Jiang Chao found it unbelievable, but he also greatly envied Brother Huang.
He suddenly understood why he liked staying in the Huang family; it was this respect that captivated him.
The Jiang family will never experience this kind of respect. No, perhaps after they achieve success, the elders will lower their guard...
