Chapter 1154 - 367: Remarriage? Jealousy_2
Her father was not Honest Tang, even if he married a woman who was neither virtuous nor kind-hearted, he would not indulge her in bullying the three of them, her siblings and herself. Besides, were they the kind of people to be easily bullied? With her status as the County Lord and several ferocious beasts, honored as Rui Beasts by imperial decree, protecting her siblings was hardly a difficult task. If a stepmother entered the scene one day, it should truly be the stepmother who needed to worry, right?
Xin Er didn’t quite grasp it at first. After careful thought, she finally understood the unspoken meaning in her sister’s words and fell silent for a moment.
After a long while, as if coming to an understanding, Xin Er said to her sister with a pained expression, "Sister, I know what you’re saying is right, but the thought of another woman living with us just makes me feel awkward and sad. Am I too selfish for not considering our father’s happiness?"
"No, it’s perfectly normal to feel this way. Sister felt the same way before," Mo Yan reassured her bewildered sister with a smile. It was difficult to make things clear; even if she laid out the reasons for her sister, it still required her sister to come to terms with it on her own. She had already understood that ensuring their father’s happiness was for the best, but still, she couldn’t quite get over that emotional hurdle.
She herself wasn’t as at ease as she had spoken. Their family had been living happily together, and suddenly, the thought of a strange woman entering their family and living with them indeed felt awkward. But when compared to their father’s happiness in his later years, what was this bit of awkwardness? In the end, she wished for their father to live even better once her siblings and she found their own place in life!
Mo Yan’s comforting words worked; Xin Er’s expression relaxed, and she managed to muster a rueful smile, "Sister, you are truly open-minded; so is Zhenzhen. I can’t compare to you both."
Mo Yan gently ruffled her sister’s hair, earnestly saying, "It’s human nature to feel that way; it has nothing to do with being open-minded or not."
Pausing, she continued to ask, "We’ve talked so much, but sister still doesn’t know what actually happened. Can you tell me now?"
