Chapter 228 Even people have their shortcomings, and it is appropriate to be modest.
“Ting Nan, actually your younger brothers each have their own interests. Mingxiang likes doing business, Mingli likes reading, Mingfu likes practicing martial arts, and you can’t see it in Mingcheng yet.”
"Don't worry, they've been training together for so long, they can protect themselves without any problem. Since they don't have your talent for martial arts, nor your spirit of hard work, you don't need to always tie them together. It's good to let them develop on their own, right? Isn't there Song Mingfu too?" Gao Haoran had spent a lot of time with the Song family children and understood their situation.
“Master, you are right. It was my fault for imposing my own ideas on them. Everyone has their own path to growth. I will talk to them properly when I get home.”
“Right, we should all avoid using the ‘for your own good’ excuse to make things difficult for others, and communicate more when there are issues.” Gao Haoran changed the subject, raising an eyebrow, his tone carrying a different meaning.
Song Tingnan's face flushed red. "Master, you know?"
"Tingnan, Ah Huo, what kind of code are you using? Tell me." Song Yanchu, who was standing next to him, was a little confused.
Gao Haoran said irritably, "It's nothing, it's just that this girl asked her godparents and senior brothers and sisters at the martial arts school to help me find someone before she went to Anxi City."
"Hahaha... Is there anything suitable?" Song Yanchu watched the commotion from the sidelines, not wanting to miss out on the fun.
"No!" Gao Haoran said firmly, "I'm used to being alone. I feel awkward talking to the intellectual woman your godmother introduced. The old woman who cooks at the martial arts school introduced me to a distant relative, and before anything even happened, she was already asking all sorts of questions: Does the Gao Family Martial Arts School belong to me personally? How much money do I have? Do I own a house in the county town...?"
"Hahaha..." Song Yanchu burst out laughing, "That's outrageous? Is she that pretty?"
"Tch, she's not pretty, but she's got a big dream!" Gao Haoran was also known for his sharp tongue.
"I'm sorry, Master, I didn't know it was so unreliable." Ting Nan thought that she hadn't asked that old lady for help, but the news had leaked out. Actually, her master was indeed very popular with widowed women in the countryside.
"You've made another mistake? You've wasted all your previous words." Gao Haoran tapped Ting Nan's head helplessly.
Song Yanchu wholeheartedly agreed: "Exactly, Tingnan, you need to change this habit! You took on so much of Ning Xueyan's business in the city, it wasn't your fault. Luckily, she's sensible, otherwise, if she clung to you, what would you do?"
Song Tingnan retorted, "No way, Uncle, I'm 'Xiao Gao'."
Gao Haoran laughed and scolded, "Hey, you all seem to really like my surname, without even asking my permission?"
“We’re having fun, don’t interrupt, we’re teaching the kids!” Song Yanchu rolled her eyes at Gao Haoran, then said earnestly to Tingnan, “Tingnan, remember this saying: ‘Everyone has shortcomings, and we should be sympathetic to them; if someone goes against reason and offends me, what does it have to do with me? There’s nothing to be angry about.’ This is the experience I’ve gained over the years. It means that everyone has shortcomings, and from a moral standpoint, these are forgivable and sympathetic; if someone goes against reason and accidentally offends me, that’s their own fault, what does it have to do with me? We have nothing to be angry about.”
Listen to Nan lower her head and ponder, "What does it matter to me if I am proud of my feelings?" It's time to let go of myself and stop trying to help others.
Ting Nan looked up at the two elders, who were looking at her with serious and heartfelt expressions. Although she had been scolded, she felt a warm current surge into her heart.
Just like many years ago, when she raced against the human traffickers to save Mu Zhiyuan, her master reviewed the incident with her afterwards and scolded her for being arrogant and willful. They all genuinely cared for her, considered her needs, and always put her first. It felt so good!
Ting Nan hurriedly assured, "Master, Uncle, I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again."
