“Miss Qianjin, our family can’t serve you. Besides, with your temperament, you’re not suitable for our family.”
Not to mention how much money our family has, the third brother's family is definitely short of money!
But look at Ruohua, she's not only the only daughter of the third son's family, but also the only girl in our Shen family.
With her looks, given her parents' and the Shen family's capabilities, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to raise her to be a well-off young lady.
But in the end, neither the third son and his wife, nor the old man and woman, had this idea.
Not to mention her older brothers who trained with her since childhood, getting up every day to practice martial arts, or even just getting up early to run laps, who wouldn't feel sorry for her?
But what can I do even if I feel sorry for her? I can't spoil her. I still treat her like my own son.
As long as she goes out and doesn't say she's from the Shen family, no one will know whose daughter she is.
"That's absolutely right. This child doesn't look like a rich young lady at all."
Who would have thought that the only princess of the Shen family, and the daughter with a net worth of over 100 million, would have to do everything herself, even cooking for herself when she was hungry?
"What can we do? This is how the Shen family raises its children. We don't expect the two brothers to find a girl like Ruohua as their daughter-in-law, but at least she can't have the temper of a spoiled princess."
"That's right."
"That's what they say, but I don't know what kind of wives those two brothers will end up marrying."
"That's hard to say, but no matter what, people who are short-sighted can't say anything."
"That's right."
Fortunately, within a few years, both sons got married, although the women's families were indeed not as well-off as their own.
But at least apart from his family background, he really has nothing else to complain about.
In truth, if we consider the families directly, even without the old man's influence, the two families would be considered a good match.
Most importantly, both daughters-in-law are honest people with good jobs; there's really nothing to criticize about them.
That's why I say it's better to find a relative who's in military uniform, especially their daughter, right?
Before I knew it, my two sons got married and had children. Since retiring and returning home, I've basically been helping to take care of the kids.
Taking care of children is really tiring. When my two sons were little, I didn't feel anything.
When they got a little older, we sent them to our third child's place.
When she saw her two sons again, they were both young men.
To be honest, it feels like just yesterday that my child was born, and now he's all grown up.
But now that I'm at home taking care of my grandson, I've come to realize what it's not easy, and here I am, talking about it.
“I never felt this way before, but lately I feel like once my child starts acting up, I just can’t control my temper and I have to beat him up.”
"Brother, you should be glad! This is your grandson, not your son. If it were your son, you would have used your belt long ago."
"Isn't it because he's my grandson? Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to control my temper."
I don't know how Mianmian managed to raise so many children all by herself.
"How do you take care of a child? Brother, what do you think of my methods for raising children?"
"I don't know. I can't just get so angry that I actually beat them up, can I?"
"Big brother was right. Sometimes when I get really angry, I beat them up."
If we're talking about kids in our family who haven't been beaten by me, it's probably only Ruohua and Xiaoshi. The others, I've beaten them quite a bit.
"You're really going to hit me?"
"What, big brother, are you feeling sorry for them now? Or do you think I, their third aunt, shouldn't have beaten them?"
"That's not it. It's just that you beat them up. Do you think they'll listen to you?"
Besides, I didn't see you beat up your little nephew.
"I'd like to beat him up, but aren't our parents there to keep an eye on him?"
As for those kids, I only beat them when they were little. I haven't beaten them since they grew up, especially after they came to Beijing.
However, not beating them up doesn't mean they won't be punished.
"That's true. The system of collective punishment you implemented against them is more effective than beating them up."
The eldest brother manages the second, the second manages the third, and so on, until the ninth brother manages the tenth. In the end, the tenth brother wanted to manage the others but found no one to manage them, and because of this, the tenth brother had a lot of complaints when he was young.
"There's nothing we can do about it. He's the youngest. If he had a younger brother or sister, he'd be guaranteed to have someone to take care of him."
"He wanted to, but the policy didn't allow it. However, it's because he didn't care about others when he was little.
So much so that now in the army, the soldiers under his command are complaining endlessly about how to manage him.
"If it weren't for the excellent performance of the soldiers he trained, his superiors would have criticized him relentlessly."
"Big brother, from what you're saying, Xiao Shi should be thanking me for his current achievements. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have such abilities."
"We really should thank you properly, whether it's Xiao Shi or not."
"We also need to thank you properly for the other children in the Shen family. Without your dedication, they wouldn't have achieved what they have today."
"Look at what you're saying, elder brother. Since we're all children of the Shen family, and I'm a member of the Shen family, why say such things?"
Besides, they grew up around me, and what I received was no less than what others received; on the contrary, it was more than what others received.
You know, putting everything else aside, just look at the gifts I receive from children during holidays—it's always more than other families."
"If that's how you put it, then I have nothing to say. After all, it's only right that they come to see you."
From the children's perspective, your status is not much lower than ours as parents.
"That's right. I treated them like my own children, raising them to adulthood. I'm almost their parent."
"That's right."
Speaking of this, I'm reminded of how I taught my two sons. I really have to treat their aunt with the same respect as a mother.
Don't underestimate her just because she wasn't your biological mother. She raised you for so many years, so how is she any different from the mother who gave birth to you and raised you?
Making your parents angry or unhappy is one thing, but making them angry is a much bigger sin than being unfilial.
Fortunately, her two sons were well-educated by their third aunt, and their conduct and interpersonal skills were unmatched by ordinary people.
This is even better than what parents do. That's why they say the two children treat their aunt like their own mother.
On this point, I have never felt that they did anything wrong; on the contrary, I feel that their gratitude is more important than anything else.
