What does Genesis 31:43 mean?

Laban answered, 'These women are my daughters, these children are my grandchildren, and these flocks are mine. Everything you see belongs to me. But what can I do now for my daughters or their children?' Genesis 31:43 - Modern Text Bible

(Laban insists that everything Jacob has is rightfully his, but admits he can’t do anything to change the situation now.)
