But now that they've brought it up themselves, how am I supposed to respond?
Liu Qing, being rather naive, chimed in from the side, "We'll be neighbors from now on, and the two houses aren't far apart. Ziduo can go play there all the time."
"Then you'll have a younger sister, and your brother-in-law will definitely be too—"
At this point, Liu Qing suddenly stopped, "By the way, where's my brother-in-law?"
Because Liu Kou was dying, Jin's father applied for leave to visit her family and return home.
Why haven't I seen anyone since I got back?
"Oh, I sent him on a blind date." Liu Kou's tone was calm, but it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, leaving everyone stunned.
"What? A blind date? My brother-in-law loves you so much, why would he need a blind date?"
Liu Qing seemed to disbelieve her ears, her tone quick and urgent, "Are you stupid? Pushing your husband out to someone else?"
Liu Qing fired like a machine gun, spraying bullets everywhere.
Liu Kou just smiled quietly, and only after she finished complaining did she add, "I know what I'm doing."
"If we don't prepare now, are we just going to wait until we die and leave it to fate?"
"No, Liu Qing, I don't fight unprepared battles."
It's true that couples have feelings for each other, but you should know that "meeting in person creates a third of the affection."
His wife's death was very sad, but the grief would not stay with him for the rest of his life.
"The human brain is naturally inclined to avoid negative emotions such as sadness. Think back to that moment if you don't believe me—"
Can you recall the saddest and most painful thing that happened to you when you were a child?
"Looking back now, does it still feel the same?"
Liu Kou explained to her sister from a biological and genetic perspective, "Humans are naturally inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm, and tend to go in the direction of secreting dopamine and stimulating excitement."
"Shouldn't we avoid going against natural science?"
Liu Kou was frighteningly calm; she had a far-reaching vision and had long accepted the fact that she would be forgotten.
No matter how sad you are, you can remember it for a year or two.
But how will we live through the next few decades?
Actually, looking at it from another perspective, the reason why middle-aged men like Mr. Jin would remarry is largely because they need to.
He needs someone to take care of his daily life, brush his teeth, wash his face, add clothes, and stay by his side, talking and nagging.
No one is an island, and even the strongest person needs to be cared for.
Moreover, Kim's father is a high-ranking official with power and influence; how could he possibly lack women?
So even if he doesn't look for women now, he can't help but have women offering themselves to him.
Rather than waiting for unknown variables to come knocking, Liu Kou adapted to the situation.
While he was alive, he would arrange blind dates for his stepmothers, personally overseeing the process and selecting the wealthiest stepmothers.
“What about Zhang Honghua?” Sun Lifang suddenly asked.
Could it be that Liu Kou hadn't yet discovered the surveillance footage of the nanny and the male homeowner having an affair at this point?
After asking the question, Liu Kou's eyes flickered, and she stepped aside to let the caregiver leave.
After everyone left, the woman's expression turned serious. "How did you know?"
The nanny's affair with the male homeowner to satisfy his sexual needs is Liu Kou's last trump card.
She only plans to bring this up to negotiate with her husband if she can't find a suitable blind date.
But now—
How did she know?
Sun Lifang didn't reply, but just quietly looked back at her.
The atmosphere was eerily heavy. Liu Qing, who was standing nearby, sensed something was amiss and was too frightened to speak.
Does this mean the nanny is having an affair with the male homeowner, and the older sister knows about it but is keeping quiet and even planning to take advantage of it?
What kind of scheming is this?
After a long silence, Liu Kou broke the silence, saying, "Yes, I don't know where you saw it, but it's just what you think—"
"I plan to promote Zhang Honghua to a higher position."
Liu Kou thought that the nanny was having an affair with her husband and that someone had seen them.
And considering Sun Lifang's visit today, isn't it clear?
They wanted to remind me, so they subtly suggested visiting.
Now that this veil of secrecy has been torn away, and everyone here is a smart person, there's no need to hide anything anymore.
Liu Kou frankly stated her intentions, "Zi Duo was raised by her, so there's an emotional bond between us."
"If I can't find a suitable blind date, then it'll be her."
"Oh~" Sun Lifang understood, "So you had already made two preparations."
The text in "Zhiyuan" only mentions that Liu Kou helped Zhang Honghua rise to power, without mentioning Liu Kou's elaborate plan before her death.
Of course, it could also be a video extracted from Kim Ja-do's memory, so it's from his perspective.
Jinzi had no idea about this.
This explanation makes sense.
With little time to spare, Sun Lifang voiced her opinion: "No, whatever you do, don't promote Zhang Honghua to the top."
Even if there's no other choice, don't let her sit in that position.
"Oh? Why?" Liu Kou liked people who gave her advice.
To do science, one must look at problems dialectically. Since others have this idea—
Listening to both sides leads to enlightenment, while listening to only one side leads to obscurity.
She wanted to hear why the other party disagreed.
"Tell me what you think about it, and I'll consider it."
After hearing this, Sun Lifang shared her analysis.
"First of all, you think she's safe, but have you ever considered that the safest place might be the most dangerous place?"
"If Jin's father remarries, his new wife might be deterred by the unfamiliarity of the woman, the guards you've placed around Jin Ziduo, and the power of the Liu family, and wouldn't dare to act recklessly."
But what if you changed it to a red flower?
"After seven years of living together, she has a very clear understanding of everyone in the family, including their temperament and family background."
I'm sure your Liu family won't fight her for a little money.
