"Me, bad?" Huang Xiaosi pointed at himself in disbelief. "You brat, I'm your own brother, and you actually say I'm bad? Fine, Lai Zihao, you can be his sister then. I don't want you, you stinky girl."

Wow...

Huang Xiaosi's words made Xiaowu burst into tears. While crying, he clearly complained, "Mother, Fourth Brother bullied me."

"You tattletale, you deserve to be unwanted!"

After Huang Xiaosi finished speaking, he let out a cold snort.

These words made Xiao Wu cry even harder.

“Little Four,” Jiang Nuan pointed to the wall next to her, “go stand there and say, ‘Little Five, don’t cry. When are you coming back?’”

"Why?" Huang Xiaosi protested indignantly. "It's not my fault. Xiaowu is siding with outsiders. Why am I the one being punished by standing?"

"Who told you to be her brother?" Jiang Nuan glanced at her coldly. "Huang Xiaosi, you're really something, daring to throw your sister away. If I don't teach you a lesson, who knows if you'll throw me away too?"

"Mom, you're being unreasonable." Huang Xiaosi pouted and stood angrily in the corner.

"Xiao Wu, I've already scolded your fourth brother, don't cry." Jiang Nuan said, clumsily wiping away her daughter's tears.

Xiao Wu sniffled, lowered her voice to cry, and glistening tears hung at the corners of her eyes, making her look particularly aggrieved.

"Mom, Brother Lai is a good person, right?" She stubbornly tugged at Jiang Nuan's sleeve, wanting an answer.

In her mind, Jiang Nuan was exceptionally capable, knew a lot of things, and certainly knew the answer to this question.

After careful consideration, Jiang Nuan gave her answer: "Anyone who is good to Xiao Wu, regardless of what others think, Xiao Wu should be grateful to. To Xiao Wu, such a person is a good person."

The sentence was long, and Xiao Wu didn't quite understand it, but when she heard the words "good person," she immediately stopped crying and started laughing.

Holding Jiang Nuandi's arm, she smiled softly and said, "I knew Brother Lai was a good person."

Xiao Wu didn't understand what Jiang Nuan said, but the others did.

These words confused Old Huang even more. "Mother, according to you, Lai Zi is both a bad person and a good person?"

"Of course not."

Since it was a rare opportunity to educate her child, Jiang Nuan simply invited the whole family to the living room.

“A good person is a relative definition,” Jiang Nuan explained slowly as she sat in her chair. “You can’t be so arbitrary in judging whether someone is good or bad just from what others say.”

As she spoke, Jiang Nuan turned to Huang Xiaosi, "Xiaosi, has Lai Zi ever bullied you?"

“No,” Huang Xiaosi shook his head, “I even threw a stone at him, but he didn’t hit me.”

"Then why do you think he's a bad person? Because everyone around him says he's a bad person?"

“Not entirely,” Huang Xiaosi argued, pointing his finger. “He stole things from other people’s houses everywhere, and he even climbed over the wall of Widow Qian’s house.”

Jiang Nuan nodded, then asked, "Mother and Lai Zi are known as the three scourges of Huangjiakou. They both did many bad things. In your opinion, is Mother a bad person too?"

"Of course not," Huang Xiaosi shook his head repeatedly, "How could Mother be a bad person?"

“Why not?” Jiang Nuan spread her hands. “My mother’s reputation isn’t much better than Lai Zi’s, and she has done a lot of bad things.”

These words stumped Huang Xiaosi.

Not only Huang Xiaosi, but also the eldest Huang brothers frowned and pondered silently.

After a long silence, Huang Xiaosi blushed and managed to stammer out, "Mother is good to us."

“If that’s the case,” Jiang Nuan tapped the table, “why do you consider Lai Zi, who is good to Xiao Wu, to be a bad person?”
