Chapter 1546 - 1024: Worry
Second watch.
------------------
"There’s a bit of an issue, when your father returned to the Lin Family, didn’t your granduncle promise to give back the share that belonged to your father? Your father said he had no place to keep it, so temporarily, the Lin Family would hold onto it..." After a pause, Jiang Xinwan said, "I know, the reason Laosan said it like that, having no place is just one aspect, but more importantly, it’s a matter of pride.
Chuxia, you should persuade them more. There’s nothing embarrassing about this, it’s originally their belongings, accepting it is only right. If anyone dares to talk nonsense, neither I nor your Eldest Uncle will allow it."
"Is it Second Uncle and Second Aunt who have some ideas?" Chuxia asked directly, knowing full well who might be scheming behind this.
"Yes." Jiang Xinwan nodded frankly, "Your Eldest Uncle was supposed to come with me, but just as we were about to leave, he got a call to return for a meeting, leaving it to me to come first and inform you.
It’s good to be kind-hearted and not greedy, but there’s no need to let unrelated people take advantage of what’s rightfully yours, not even for your sake.
Moreover..." Jiang Xinwan’s gaze shifted to Lin Yanqiu, "Moreover, with the strength of the Zhou family, you can definitely protect your whole family, so there’s even less reason to give up, right?"
Who was that last sentence directed at? Lin Yanqiu glared at her: "Enough, you don’t have to speak for my sake. I assure you, the Zhou family absolutely won’t covet Chuxia’s possessions, and we won’t let anyone else covet them either."
"That’s the guarantee I wanted..." Jiang Xinwan didn’t hold back, "Yanqiu, don’t be mad. I really wasn’t trying to provoke you. If it were just a conversation between you and me, I would absolutely be straightforward and say whatever’s on my mind.
But now, I represent the Lin Family, and you represent the Zhou family. I don’t want to make things difficult for you. Zhidong said if the Zhou family can’t ensure Laosan’s family’s safety, he’ll have to think of another way.
But in principle, he doesn’t want to cause a rift between brothers, letting outsiders see us as a joke..." At this point, she sighed, "Anyway, every family has its difficulties.
The elders always love having many children and grandchildren, but the problem is, if the descendants are virtuous, having more is helpful to each other. But if not, it becomes a disaster."
"Aunt, has the family been in turmoil lately?" Chuxia looked seriously at Jiang Xinwan, aware that the Second Uncle’s family was the most indifferent to her father’s return to the family.
She understood that it was normal for people to feel uncomfortable when something originally theirs had to be shared with someone else, even more so if they got less. She couldn’t blame others excessively.
But after several confrontations, weren’t things resolved? What new trouble was brewing now? Jiang Xinwan bringing this up definitely wasn’t without reason.
"When I first married your Eldest Uncle, he and your Second Uncle were very close. Whatever the matter, they would discuss it together, and I didn’t interfere in their affairs. So until your Second Uncle got married, everyone got along well.
After your Second Uncle got married, your Eldest Uncle continued as before, discussing everything with your Second Uncle. But gradually, your Second Uncle’s attitude changed, and eventually, the two brothers had an intense conflict.
The trigger was your Eldest Uncle discussing plans for the elder’s big birthday with your Second Uncle. In past years, the elders’ birthdays were always coordinated by the two brothers, but this time, your Second Uncle was very angry.
He felt disrespected because your Eldest Uncle only consulted him after making the decision. He said he had a family now and hoped that in the future, such important matters would alternate between the two households.
Your Eldest Uncle was already upset with his increasingly indifferent attitude, and hearing this, he got even more furious and argued with him, saying that regardless of whether he had a family, he was his brother and must listen to him.
Then your Second Aunt got involved, sarcastically saying, ’Big Brother, that’s not right. Zhiliang and I are married now; we should have our own say. Isn’t it a bit bullying for you to say this?’
Her words finally made your Eldest Uncle realize that the brother before him was no longer the one who was willing to follow him around and agree with everything he said.
Actually, he wasn’t unreasonable. It’s just that the brothers’ bond since childhood created a habit of interacting that way, and at that time, I rarely paid attention to their brotherly issues due to personal reasons, which led to this situation.
