Chapter 21
So, he wasn’t giving up on her. Suri’s heart relaxed, and she was touched by Yigol’s consideration.
Yigol was right. Although they were married now, it was a hasty decision, and they hadn’t confirmed whether they’d want to be together for a lifetime.
At this time, it’s better not to disturb their families.
Marriage isn’t just between two people. It involves two big families. Yigol didn’t want to worry his parents, and Suri felt the same.
Before their feelings were confirmed, she didn’t want her family to know too much.
“It won’t be too long. My mom said that my sister is too young and lacks social experience, so I’ll just take care of her for a month or two,”
“When she finds a job, and can work with peace of mind, I won’t have to worry about her as much, or if she really doesn’t want to stay, wants to go back.”
“She’s at a confusing age right now, idling away her days, and unwilling to be with her parents. As a girl, her family isn’t comfortable letting her wander on her own.” Yigol explained patiently, fearing that Suri might be unhappy.
“Husband, how do you plan to take care of her properly?” Suri asked, unwilling to part with Yigol but also a reasonable person.
“I’ll continue delivering packages, let her see how hard life can be. As for where to live, we can find a random place in those buildings.”
“I want her to see how hard it is to earn money by working, if she can go back to school, that would be even better.”
“Otherwise, with only a junior high school education, her life will be problematic, and even getting married might be an issue.”
Suri replied, “Husband, I understand what you mean, you still care for your cousin, but what you’re doing is wrong.”
“What’s wrong?” Yigol asked, puzzled.
“Husband, she’s your cousin, just graduated from junior high, curious about the world. If you let her watch you deliver packages, she might not see your hardship and might think you’re free to roam.”
“And one more thing, adolescents aren’t very reasonable. They’re in a transitional phase of life. If you don’t manage them, you’ll be failing your family and conscience. If you do, they might not listen.”
“She’s your sister, if she’s disobedient, do you scold her or hit her? Neither is suitable, and talking earnestly is even more useless.”
“Who knows if she makes it to your place, or gets off the bus and leaves halfway?” Suri explained patiently, understanding a girl’s mind as she’s been through it herself.
“That won’t happen, someone will bring her here and hand her over to me,” Yigol replied confidently.
“What about after that? You can’t keep an eye on her all the time, that’s unrealistic. Not just the lack of energy, but also the gender difference, makes it difficult to manage,” Suri analyzed carefully.
Yigol thought about it, and she was right.
“Yeah, I didn’t think that much at the time. If she doesn’t listen to me, I won’t have any way to deal with her.”
Suri agreed: “Exactly, if she doesn’t listen and something goes wrong, not only will you feel guilty, but it will also be hard to explain to your family, especially because she’s a girl.”
Yigol was troubled: “What should I do? I promised my mom, so if I don’t take care of her, I can’t explain it either.”
“Wife, you’re so smart and understand a girl’s mindset the best, what do you think I should do?” Yigol fell silent and pinned his hopes on Suri.
“You need to conquer your sister with strength, make her admire you and think you’re incredible. Then she’ll naturally want to be a better person. What power can be stronger than the power of an idol?” Suri asked Yigol with a smile.
A girl’s mindset is straightforward. If you give her a reason, a direction, she can go all out to work hard.
“But I’m not that great, what can I use to be her idol?” Yigol looked at himself, seemingly without any points that would make him an idol.
“You have money and a beautiful wife, aren’t those your strengths?”
“But…” Yigol hesitated.
“Husband, I understand your thoughts, but you don’t understand a girl’s mindset. Look at your education, is it higher than your sister’s? You ended up delivering packages. She will only think you’re a failure and education is useless.”
“If you’re like this, even if you tell her all the truths, she’ll just think you’re bluffing.”
“However, if you’re successful, it’ll be different. When she sees you, she’ll be in awe. When you talk, she’ll think it makes sense.”
“Think about it this way, if someone who’s worse than you talks about the truth, would you think it’s convincing?”
“But, if a successful boss talks, won’t you be more willing to listen?” Suri asked in return.
Yigol thought carefully and realized she was right. If someone who’s not as good as him talks about the truth, he’d think they were full of hot air.
Children can be a bit too imaginative, not seeing reality clearly, and think they are the best.
If his sister sees him in a pathetic state, she may think she’s better than him, and naturally, she won’t listen to him.action
While Yigol was thinking, Suri spoke up again.
“You said you don’t want your sister to know, so it’s like the whole family knows. But I don’t think it’s a problem.”
“You have so much money. Just be nice to her. As long as she thinks you really care for her, you buy her small gifts, cosmetics, pretty dresses, she’ll naturally listen to you. You just have to ask her not to say anything.”
In the end, Suri added, “I’m just sharing my thoughts. How you handle it in detail is up to you. Anyway, I don’t agree with your idea.”
“What if she disobeys and affects you?” Yigol worriedly asked.
“I’m not that stingy, don’t worry.” Suri gave him a reassuring smile.
Yigol, being so considerate of her feelings, touched Suri. She’s not an unreasonable person. Yigol thinks for her, and she thinks for Yigol.
If Suri were to meet Yigol’s parents now, she really wouldn’t want to.
