Three younger sisters-in-law. Zhao Zirong only knew that the children they raised were all sowhat disappointing. This was definitely not him deliberately nitpicking the three aunties, but a matter of fact that everyone could clearly see.
For instance, Xiao Shuzhu, the fourth child, although carefree and sowhat unreliable, knowing only how to indulge in food, drink, and entertainnt, got married early and did not care much for studies, which didn’t draw as much criticism as it would for Xiao Yebai, a man. After all, as long as a woman marries well and has children, no one else makes idle comnts.
Even so, Xiao Shuzhu’s laissez-faire nature led her to be just as neglectful in educating her own children, never really taking it seriously or acting as a responsible mother should. Not to ntion her youngest son, let’s talk about her daughter Zhu Jiayin who was already in her twenties and completely undisciplined. Sotis she spoke without manners, and her studies were poor too.
The problem was that Xiao Shuzhu herself didn’t think much of it, believing that children have their own paths to walk and that parents don’t need to be overly strict. To speak of it, Xiao Shuzhu had a good heart and she was smarter than the third sister, but her innate character made her unsuitable to be a mother.
Zhao Zirong, such a traditional Chinese father, couldn’t possibly accept Xiao Shuzhu’s completely Arican attitude. Thus, it suited her nature well to have followed a foreigner back in the day.
As for the third sister, Xiao Shuju, it’s not even worth ntioning. She didn’t have any children of her own, so how could she mother others? Later, after marrying Lin Jiale and becoming a stepmother to Lin Yishan, she doted on the stepdaughter excessively to please her husband, leading to a shaful outco. It proves that this woman, too, was unfit to be a mother.
Finally, speaking of Xiao Shulan, the second sister, she had ambition and drive, and she really did control her daughter tightly, from head to toe, with excessive constraints that backfired.
Just look at Kang Yueting now and what she has beco. She’s timid all the ti, like a turtle retracting into its shell. She lacks any semblance of independence.
A child who hasn’t developed a strong sense of self is bound to have character flaws—that much is obvious.
Zhao Zirong felt that this was even worse than the unmonitored children of Xiao Shuzhu. He rembered that the last ti he t Kang Yueting at the Xiao Family’s, he couldn’t help but say to his wife, "I see sothing off in that child’s eyes, and if we don’t guide her properly, she might develop so ntal issues."
After all is said and done, his wife, Xiao Shui, was the one who truly loved children and knew how to raise them well. The three children nurtured under Xiao Shui’s care had all turned out so well, truly growing up right.
When Xiao Yebai listened to Zhao Zirong’s venting, he reflected and had to agree. Among the many children of his several sisters, only those raised by Xiao Shui seed fit to et his critical standards. This was enough to demonstrate that Xiao Shui and Zhao Zirong’s thods of education were successful.
In theory, as soone about to beco a father, he should take this opportunity to learn about child rearing advice from his eldest sister—Shui. But then he thought about what Zhao Zirong might say next, and Yebai imdiately lost his enthusiasm.
He hated it when anyone clung to his wife!
Even if it was a younger child, it was not okay.
Zhao Zirong indeed had this intention—to boast about himself and then pique Xiao Yebai’s interest. Little did he know, after this long talk, Xiao Yebai had cald down and obviously knew what he was going to say.
However, these words had to be spoken, probably also bound by Xiao Shui’s intentions.
This thought had never crossed his mind before he truly t and interacted with Gu Nuan. He never thought his carefree brother-in-law, who didn’t seem like the type to take care of children, would end up with a woman and most likely attract soone alike, not so impressive. Unexpectedly, upon real interaction, this brother-in-law had actually found himself a decent, family-oriented woman.
