Guan Zanxiang's tears stopped when Zhou Xiang said this. Does this mean it was their fault?
"Yes!" Zhou Xiang nodded vigorously. "Parents are their children's first teachers. Their words and deeds have helped their children understand their parents' character. Just like Guan Zanfu and Guan Zanqiang repeatedly stepped on my bottom line, and finally forced my godfather to sever ties with you.
As parents gradually give in out of love, their children have learned to push harder and harder. So, your tears are useless and will only annoy the person who is desperate to prove that he is grown up and can make decisions for his own future.
Guan Zanxiang was stunned for a long time before he asked quietly, "Is it really broken? You also said he wasn't afraid."
Nowadays, when filial piety is gradually fading, severing ties will not scare children at all, not to mention that there is a precedent of housekeepers not being able to cut off ties cleanly.
"Ma Zhao, don't you have any other options?"
"No," Guan Zanxiang shook his head. "When he said he wanted to sever ties, Baokun immediately nodded in agreement."
Freedom! What young people need nowadays is freedom. When an only child is cared for and loved by several elderly people and parents, freedom is what they yearn for.
Looking at the young couple chatting sweetly with their heads down, Zhou Xiang asked, "Are you really planning to separate them? Even if Bao Kun hates you?"
Seeing that Guan Zanxiang couldn't answer this question, Zhou Xiang continued, "The blisters on his feet are all his own fault. What you call doing this for his own good isn't what he wants. Especially when Ma Zhao wanted to severely punish Bao Kun, your slightest bit of protection made this child fearless. How could he be afraid of you severing ties with him?"
Guan Zanxiang blushed at what Zhou Xiang said. It was true that she had always been secretly coaxing Bao Kun behind his back, and even secretly giving him money, giving him whatever he wanted. She regretted it every time, but she could never stand up to the child's nagging. Ma Zhao had scolded her many times for this, and it was too late for her to regret it now. "I just hope there is a solution now."
Zhou Xiang sighed, "There are two options. One, sever all ties and financial support, leaving him to fend for himself. Two, send him to the army. The army is the best place to reform a person."
If people like Zhou Kai can change their values, then a brainless rich second generation like Ma Baokun will definitely be able to clear the fog before his eyes.
Having said what needed to be said, Zhou wanted to go with his godmother. "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't be a slave to them."
Aunt Guan cheered herself up and said, "Let's go to the kitchen to help." She really didn't want to see that stupid grandson, who was even dumber than his mother. Why didn't he inherit the smartness of her eldest son-in-law!
Zhou Xiang also saw that Peng Qiu was the only one busy in the kitchen. She went into the kitchen and asked, "Where's Qiangqiang?"
"Today is our turn and that of my eldest brother to open the restaurant at the health garden." Peng Qiu was cutting vegetables. When he heard Zhou Xiang's question, he looked up, answered, and then continued to cut vegetables.
No wonder I didn’t see Guan Zanfu and Yu Na. Zhou Xiang thought that the couple didn’t come to see the old man.
Speaking of the health garden, Aunt Guan thanked Zhou Xiang again, "Our family is all thanks to you for your support. Even now, you still think of them."
"A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold! Aren't Qiangqiang and the others changing now? Think about those days, and then look at Baokun now. Godmother, if they don't learn from their mistakes and struggle for a while, they won't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is."
Zhou wanted to take the opportunity to comfort his godmother. She couldn't even educate her own child, so why should she worry about other people's children?
Aunt Guan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, "Oh no! I'm being too stubborn again. I'm not even as good as you, kid! Okay, I can't care about so many things. I just need to take care of myself and your godfather."
As she spoke, she picked up her apron and put it on. "I'll cook. We have to be happy. There's no need to make things difficult for others. My own children didn't appreciate my kindness back then, so others will definitely not appreciate it either."
Seeing that his godmother had figured it out, Zhou Xiang was relieved. "Okay, I haven't eaten the food cooked by godmother for a long time."
Peng Qiu on the side was shocked. Zhou Xiang calmed his mother-in-law down with just a few words. With such an eloquent person, it was no wonder that his parents-in-law gave her the three shops that were said to be inherited from their ancestors. Fortunately, this person had a good temper, otherwise, he would have helped her count the money after being sold.
Zhou Xiang: “…” Do you have any misunderstanding about me?
At the dinner table, Jun Wanhua picked up the wine glass, stood up and apologized to Zhou Xiang, asking Zhou Xiang to forgive her for her youthful recklessness last year.
Yes! Last year! In that one year, Ma Baokun hasn't changed at all, but you've undergone a complete transformation.
Zhou Xiang raised his drink and took a sip, accepting her apology. After she sat down, he asked Ma Baokun, "I heard your father is planning to cut off ties with you."
Ma Baokun stood up immediately and said, "Thinking about my aunt, I..."
"I also heard that you nodded in agreement immediately," Zhou Xiang said lightly, ignoring his embarrassment, "If you agreed, you should have backbone. If you are a man, you should rely on yourself to work hard. Don't agree and then shamelessly accept your mother's help. I feel ashamed just by saying this. How can you still do this shamelessly?
You should have heard about your father's rise to wealth. You should also know why your uncles were kicked out by your grandfather. Now, we are all sitting together again because they understand their mistakes and their parents' painstaking efforts. However, it took them more than ten years to prove that the path their parents guided them to was not wrong.
However, your grandparents did not really accept them. It did not matter whether they were around or not, because they still had me as their goddaughter, so they were not worried about having no one to take care of them in their old age.
I just advised your mother that if you insist on taking responsibility for your own future, then I will give you some money to start your own business. Whether it is good or bad, you will bear the consequences yourself. Just like your uncle and your younger uncle, after they severed their relationship, they never came back to ask for a penny. Don't you have a higher education than them? I hope your hands can keep up with your eyes.
After your grandparents threw your mother and her four children away, they still had me. So, as soon as you severed ties and walked out of the house, feeling free to fly freely, your parents prepared to get pregnant and give birth to a well-behaved and obedient child who could take care of their retirement.
They will no longer spoil this child, but will educate him well and take good care of the family property that your father has worked hard for over the years, because what your father needs is to maintain the status quo, not to start a business.
If you want to start a business and take off, they can just let you go and find a new heir. Why should they follow you around and beg you? If all else fails, they can just adopt a filial and obedient godson or daughter. It's better than being pissed off by your own unfilial son. It's better to just break up and live happily ever after. Isn't that better?
Zhou Xiang smiled brightly as he looked at Ma Baokun and Jun Wanhua, whose expressions kept changing. He raised the drink beside him and said, "When awake, you hold the power of the world, and when drunk, you sleep in the lap of a beauty. I don't think these words can inspire the ambitions of someone like you who even wants to fall in love while repeating the third year of high school. Throughout history, there have been many people who prefer beauty to power. I sincerely wish you a long and lasting marriage."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank half of the drink in the cup, then showed the cup to Ma Baokun.
