Chapter 2052: Chapter 1845: Sooner or Later
A happy life is earned by oneself, not given by others!
In fact, Old Master Zhang knows very well that he no longer has any right to interfere in the household affairs between his grandson and granddaughter-in-law. He also understands that everyone needs to grow, and only through continuous growth can one’s life become meaningful. Initially, his own growth brought many painful memories, but these eventually became the most beautiful memories within him. Regardless of which industry he ultimately chooses or what experiences he encounters, every choice he makes will bring joy for what he has once contributed, without leaving any regrets.
"Grandpa, thank you for your encouragement today. I will never forget what you said to me today. If one day I truly succeed, I will come back here to find you because you’ve given me the most comfort and made me realize that my life isn’t lonely, and it can be filled with happiness. Only by continuously exploring what my future holds, I will lead a cheerful life in this lifetime, without anyone knowing what kind of end I will face, nor can anyone make early predictions for my future life."
Yes, I believe, as you said, grandpa, that one day I will certainly study abroad. One day, I will show those who have comforted and encouraged me that they were not wrong in their judgment of me because I’ve used my efforts to prove to them that I am the best in the world. I can rely on my efforts to reach the summit of life step by step, and I can carve out my own world with my own hands. I don’t need to rely on anyone else, because every decision I make will ultimately affect the most perfect life of this lifetime!
I have already dedicated too much sincerity and I don’t understand what path I should choose to live happily for a lifetime, never again to be struck down or hurt in the slightest bit. I also understand that not everything thought about can be realized; everyone has their own way to happiness. Therefore, I have no right to dictate someone else’s happiness. All I can do is make my own life joyful and happy, ensuring it isn’t meaningless as it used to be!"
"Child, grandpa knows, you must have your reasons for saying this, and you also believe that all the decisions you make will be a key part of your future life.
Perhaps I should do as you said and stop intervening in the familial relations and life within my family. Everyone’s journey is different, and I should let them walk the path they want in their life, allowing them to have trust between each other. Only with trust in a marriage can they travel far together. I can’t arrogantly do everything he desires; this world isn’t something I alone can control.
Everyone faces different choices in life, and no one knows what consequences they will ultimately bring. No one can predict what their life will become in the end. Only by choosing for oneself, exploring step by step, and continuously moving forward without fear of harm will they eventually discover that there are still many things in this world that are different!
Maybe one day when I truly understand, I’ll find that every decision I’ve made was incorrect. I shouldn’t have imposed my strong desire for my family to make the same choices as I did because there’s no perfect person in this world, no identical life. Everyone’s life is unique. Sadly, it’s only now I understand why my son and I have had no contact over the years, why he hasn’t engaged with me.
This matter is the deepest pain in my heart. I always thought whatever I wanted, my son would follow my wishes as his father, completing all my goals. But I never considered how painful or growing it might be for him. Why should I try to read and bring him his life? Everyone walks a different path, and forcing my thoughts on him may have been selfish, making my child unwilling to live with me as a father. Maybe it’s because my actions led my biological son to lose heart with me as his father."
"Grandpa, telling you these things today brings me happiness. But everyone’s path must be walked by themselves; no one else can make all the decisions for someone else. The roles each person faces in life will ultimately be different. If, because of selfish actions, you hurt the ones you care for deeply again and again, do you think that’s the life you want?
Don’t use your own perspective to dictate everyone’s life, because for anyone, that’s unfair. I am happy with your comfort, but when it comes to family, sometimes comfort is necessary. If you offer no comfort to your family, how can they possibly see you as someone who truly cares for them? I truly hope one day there will be a qualitative leap between you all.
Actually, your grandson’s family is still very happy. No matter the purpose, no matter what they go through together, even when they occasionally argue as spouses do, they never cease to believe in each other. Sometimes they’re just confused and don’t know what decision to make or whom to trust.
There are things that must be clarified because if not, misunderstandings will only grow deeper and harder to manage.
I believe for any family, peaceful harmony is more important than anything else. A harmonious family signifies hope for the household. If there’s no harmony and trust within the family, then how can anyone live happily, and who could wholly believe in someone else for a lifetime?"
Old Master Zhang felt what the doctor said in front of him made sense.
Some things are merely a matter of time, not something you can decide!
