First watch.

What Zhou Huakang said was true. Even adults can’t handle this kind of problem properly, so how could you expect a child to? But does that mean we just don’t guide the child at all?

But if we are going to guide them, how exactly are we supposed to do it?

It’s not that she was idle and looking for something to worry about. Very soon she would be a mother herself, and what lay ahead of her was exactly the question of how to educate her own child. Looking at the few kids of this generation in the Zhou family, Chuxia felt this was especially important.

Seeing Chuxia stay silent, Zhou Huakang felt a little guilty. No one knew better than him how much Third Brother valued his third sister-in-law. If Third Brother found out he’d made her angry... Thinking of this, he quickly plastered on a fawning smile. "Third sister-in-law, I was just talking nonsense just now, don’t take it to heart..."

"Am I really that petty?" Chuxia cut him off, amused. "What you said is the truth, what’s there for me to be mad about? I wasn’t talking because I was mulling over what you said. After all, I’m about to be a mom myself."

"Sister-in-law, that was me judging a gentleman with a petty heart..." Zhou Huakang looked embarrassed. "Actually, what I said isn’t completely right either. If everyone thought like that, would society ever move forward?"

"This isn’t a question you can make clear in just a few words, and it’s not something you can immediately come up with a solution for. Maybe we’ll all have to feel our way through it slowly after we become parents.

Now, back to what we were talking about. I asked you about you and Tian Tian just now because I wanted to remind you that you should talk it over with the elders before you decide. After all, none of us has really set foot in society and faced things independently yet. There are some twists and turns we just can’t think of at our age. Asking the elders will always do more good than harm.

If you don’t have the intention of actually being in a boyfriend–girlfriend relationship with Tian Tian, then it’s best if there’s some other way you can help her. After all, breaking up in the future will affect a girl’s reputation too.

We can’t help someone once and then push them into a pit of fire afterward, right?"

What Chuxia said did make sense. In this era, people were still quite conservative about young men and women dating. If Zhou Huakang helped Tian Tian and they ended up breaking up, the gossip would make it hard for Tian Tian to hold her head up for quite some time.

Even if she was strong inside, other people couldn’t possibly not care. When she wanted to find someone she truly liked in the future, it would be even harder. The bigger the family, the more they minded this kind of thing. In ordinary families, it actually didn’t count as much of an issue.

Following Chuxia’s suggestion, once he got back to the Zhou family, the first thing Zhou Huakang did was go to Old Master Zhou and Old Madam Zhou. He reported Tian Tian’s situation to the two elders and then asked for their opinion.

Old Master Zhou sighed and looked at his youngest grandson. "Xiaohua, you have a kind heart, and that’s a good thing, but you really agreed to this a bit rashly.

As for the Tian Family, why would they still let Tian Tian marry Chen Dajun when they already know what kind of person he is? Have you thought about the root cause of that?"

"What cause?" Zhou Huakang looked confused at Old Master Zhou. "Isn’t it just that they don’t care about Tian Tian and want to use her to get support for the family?"

"Do you think a normal family would treat someone like Chen Dajun as a source of support? With the things he’s done, sooner or later he’ll be punished. I believe the Tian Family can’t be unaware of that.

But even under those circumstances, they still sent their granddaughter over. Whether they value her or not, she represents the Tian Family. That’s a fact, isn’t it?

Everyone knows what Chen Dajun has been up to these years, so if my guess is right, it’s that the Tian Family has something on them in Chen Dajun’s hands and they want to use this way to calm things down.

In that case, if you now say you want to date Tian Tian, the Tian Family will never agree. So trying to help Tian Tian this way is basically impossible.

You wouldn’t be able to help her, and you’d push the Zhou family over to the opposite side of the Tian Family and the Chen Family. Do you think an outcome like that means anything? Even if Tian Tian would be grateful to you, her fate still wouldn’t change."

"Then how am I supposed to help her?" Zhou Huakang sighed. "Grandpa, Grandma, I was impulsive, but I really do feel sorry for her. Her younger brother is also a very kind kid. I really don’t want to watch them be driven to a dead end and have their personalities twisted."

Old Master Zhou reached out and patted his shoulder. "I already said, you’re a kind child, but what you lack is social experience, so you don’t know how to be flexible. Alright, I know about this now. I’ll talk it over with your eldest uncle later. Don’t worry, the Chen Family won’t get their way."
