Chapter 1083 - 720: Don’t Worry, We Have a Lifetime Ahead of Us (6,000 Words)_2
"If we were to discuss where it started, when you stopped following in your elder brother’s footsteps... it would be when your brother married Shi Haiyan for profit. But you, for love, married Su Xiaomeng.""..."
Yin Shixiu admitted that in some ways he did indeed have similarities with Yin Shiqing.
But he had never thought as deeply as Yin Shaoqun about the reasons he slowly became different from Yin Shiqing...
A faint smile appeared on Yin Shaoqun’s face,
"Your aunt doesn’t mean that marriages based on love always have good outcomes. An inappropriate example would be your third brother, and second, myself. Because I loved your uncle too much, to the extent that after his death... I spent half my life in solitude."
"But, Old Four, staying true to yourself is far more fulfilling than being loyal to profit. You’ve already tasted the sweetness of it."
"..."
"The eldest brother married Shi Haiyan for his career. When the Shi Family thrived, he thrived, but when the Shi Family fell, he fell alongside it..."
"Xiao Meng is different."
"..."
"You could say that you taught this woman single-handedly, but she is indeed gifted, well-educated, and possesses a unique personality and way of thinking unlike typical wealthy heiresses."
"..."
"She gave you a family and gave your life meaning."
"Compared to the Yin’s Empire that you struggled to build over ten years, this woman weighs much more."
Yin Shaoqun had a lot to say today... but every word came from the heart.
"Perhaps all the luck I’ve had in this life was used in meeting your uncle, which is why... after Guanyu died, I had no children left under my care."
"Your second uncle’s and little uncle’s children, and others from different branches of the family, neither understand you nor Xiao Meng, they may not necessarily accept the two of you."
"It all takes time, you must always avoid being overly impatient."
Yin Shixiu nodded,
"I’ll definitely keep Aunt’s words in mind."
"That’s good..."
"Ah... let me ramble a bit more..."
Yin Shixiu listened silently.
"In this era, people like your elder brother and sister-in-law, who’ve lived through various generations, are increasingly rare..."
"..."
"People like them can’t be viewed or judged from a single perspective..."
"..."
"I know you don’t have a deep sense of family ties with your elder brother and sister-in-law, and I know that in Little Mengxin’s heart, there’s some resentment towards them..."
Yin Shixiu pressed his lips together, without denying or affirming.
"But remember just this one thing from your aunt, and pass it on to Meng Meng."
"Alright."
"You are thirty-five, Meng Meng is twenty-three, and your elder brother is eighty this year, your sister-in-law seventy-seven. Do the math on this age difference, and when you reach eighty or Meng Meng reaches seventy-seven, look back to see if your lives had more value or wisdom than theirs."
"..."
Yin Shixiu pressed his lips together, said nothing more, just listened...
Yin Shaoqun stood up, patted Yin Shixiu on the shoulder,
"Old Four, if someday Huang Huang truly becomes a pianist... your aunt would be the happiest person!"
"..."
Yin Shixiu smiled lightly, watching the back of Yin Shaoqun walking into the room, ultimately saying nothing more.
Despite such a lengthy conversation... Yin Shaoqun never explained why she was so eager to keep Huang Huang by her side and teach him piano.
Yin Shixiu could tell, Aunt deliberately didn’t want to say.
He was never one to insist on getting every detail when someone was hesitant to share; Aunt wasn’t willing to say, so he didn’t ask further.
Yet, what Aunt said today left a deep impression on Yin Shixiu’s heart.

Back in the room, Prince Huang, who had cried loudly, was already asleep, tightly embraced with Shuangshuang.
At first glance, the bed quilt seemed to wrap around two glutinous rice dumplings.
Su Xiaomeng turned around, curiously watching Yin Shixiu,
"Why did you come up here?"
"Just checking if Huang Huang is still crying."
"Huang Huang isn’t that fragile; the crying was purely out of fear that we’d abandon him, and once explained, he immediately understood."
Su Xiaomeng described her son as exceptionally strong and sensible.
"And Shuang’er?"
"It wasn’t her who was schemed to be taken away, why would she cry?"
Su Xiaomeng shrugged, walked behind Yin Shixiu, and pushed his wheelchair to the balcony...
"Everything on the mountain is good; it’s just a bit cold in winter."
She said as she closed all the glass windows on the balcony, and brought a hot water bag for Yin Shixiu, covering his legs with a blanket.
Then she got a small stool, sat in front of him, and gently pressed his legs with her hands.
"Do the legs still hurt?"
Yin Shixiu smiled and shook his head.
"Liar."
Su Xiaomeng glared at him disdainfully.
What could Yin Shixiu answer?
