Chapter 1583 Adding Fuel to the Fire

As the saying goes, "No one knows a child better than their mother." Wen Leyu has been a mother for several years now, and just by looking at her daughter's small, open mouth shaped like an "O," she knows that this little rascal is probably plotting something mischievous again.

Before Xiao Dou'er could figure it out, Wen Leyu preemptively struck with a fierce look: "What? Xiao Dou'er, are you unwilling?"

"No, no, how could I dare?"

Little Dou immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum, then put on a smiling face and said, "I just wanted to say, if tigresses are this powerful, then aren't male tigers even more powerful?"

Wen Leyu frowned slightly, then revealed a sinister smile. Did her daughter's words sound awkward?

Who is she mocking?

“Little Dou’er, you’re wrong about that. Today, Daddy will teach you a word—a mother’s strength comes from her love for her child.”

Seeing that the tigress was about to unleash her fury, and the cubs were still oblivious, Li Ye had no choice but to quickly speak up to protect his offspring.

"Most female animals in the world are smaller than male animals and usually appear weaker, but when they see their offspring in danger, they unleash a fighting power that is completely disproportionate to their size."

"If you don't believe me, go observe how our mother cat protects her kittens. Doesn't she let out a loud howl, and the male cat immediately lies down and obediently follows?"

"Like me and your mother."

Li Ye pointed at Wen Leyu: "Your mother has been practicing bayonet fighting for many years. I taught her all her skills. Logically speaking, she should definitely not be able to beat me, right?"

But if it involves you, I absolutely cannot beat her. If she wants to teach you a lesson, I can't object.

Xiao Dou'er's mouth opened into an "O" shape again, and she couldn't close it for a long time. There was even a "resentful" glint in her eyes.

[Dad, what do you mean by this? You can't stop Mom from doing whatever she wants to us, right? Does Mom get to decide everything in this family that involves me and my brother?]

Children are actually very sensitive; they have their own considerations regarding who is the eldest and who is the second oldest in the family.

Because Wen Leyu usually respected Li Ye, as well as Li Ye's mother and grandparents, Xiao Dou'er thought Li Ye "had some status in the family." But after hearing what her father said today, it felt like the sky had fallen!

Wen Leyu curled the corners of her mouth and asked Xiao Dou'er smugly, "Did you remember this word your father taught you?"

Little Dou nodded quickly: "I'll remember, Mom. I'll copy this word five times when I get back."

Wen Leyu nodded in satisfaction, then said gently, "Write down all the information you need to find, and then I'll treat you to something delicious. Eat whatever you want today."

"Okay, we'll finish the investigation soon."

Little Dou quickly urged her brother with her eyes, telling him to hurry up and copy the materials so they could go eat something delicious.

But at this moment, Xiao Bao'er was already immersed in the related introductions, flipping through the book and marking it. As he copied more and more, he knew he wouldn't be able to finish copying it all in a short time.

"Dad, I read in this book that the Bengal tiger is actually one of the smaller tigers, much smaller than our Siberian tiger. If a Siberian tiger were to fight a lion, wouldn't it have a higher chance of winning?"

Li Ye leaned over to take a look at the introduction in the book, and sure enough, there were detailed records.

Male Bengal tigers weigh an average of 160 to 250 kilograms and are about 3 meters long, while male Siberian tigers start at 250 kilograms, and even adult female tigers can weigh close to 200 kilograms on average.

In terms of body length, male Siberian tigers can reach 3.7 meters, which is much longer than Bengal tigers.

More importantly, this is just an average value. When encountering an anomaly like "Wandashan No. 1," which is extremely ferocious even in its infancy, it's a completely different story.

The largest recorded Siberian tiger weighed 423 kilograms and had a body length of four meters.

So although tigers are also felines and like tabby cats when they fight, they like to use "cat punches." But even though a big cat weighing over 800 pounds can make a punch seem light and playful, only those who have been hit by it know how painful it is.

World boxing champion Mike Tyson weighs only 200 pounds, and he can knock someone out with one punch. Do you think Wu Song could withstand such a big cat's fighting power that can attack from both sides?

...

Taking the two children to the library to look up information was just the first step for Li Ye and Wen Leyu; their ultimate goal was to guide the two children in learning comparative analysis.

A person will face countless choices in their life. If they can learn to analyze and compare rationally from a young age, it will always be beneficial to their life.

Of course, if your child doesn't like rational comparisons with Li Ye, we won't force them. If you're willing to "do whatever you want" and do whatever you like, that's a different kind of life, and your dad will be there to support you.

However, the analysis and summary that Xiao Dou'er and Xiao Bao'er, under the guidance of Li Ye and Wen Leyu, painstakingly came up with after much effort, resulted in the teacher calling their parents again.

Because Li Ye was at home this time, he couldn't escape the situation and was assigned by Wen Leyu to go to school to listen to the teacher's instructions.

I'll listen to her sister!

Li Ye was very unwilling, but the child was in their hands, so he had no choice but to go.

Before going, he repeatedly asked his son and daughter what they had been doing at school recently and whether they had hidden anything from their parents.

Xiao Bao'er said aggrievedly, "Really, Dad, my sister and I just gave Xu Xianpeng the videotape and the comparison chart of Siberian tigers and Bengal tigers."

Then Xu Xianpeng saw me and walked with his head down. I didn't even ask him to apologize, did I? But Teacher Yan still asked you to go there.”

Li Ye asked, "Are Xu Xianpeng's parents going too?"

Xiao Dou pouted: "How would we know? He's a section chief, he's very busy."

“.”

The two kids are still young, and we can't get any information from them, so let's just go!

Li Ye changed into a presentable outfit and went to the two children's school.

However, Li Ye was not planning to start a fight, because according to Wen Leyu, this school was full of hidden talents, so the teachers should also be knowledgeable and experienced, and wouldn't be unreasonable just because of some department head.

However, after Li Ye met Teacher Yan, he realized that he had misunderstood.

Because the reasoning that Teacher Yan gave was somewhat different from the reasoning that Li Ye thought, it felt quite awkward.

"Comrade Li Ye, right? I called you here today because of the educational issues of Li Xingze and Li Xingluo. Last time their mother came, the two children didn't want to apologize to Xu Xianpeng. He had a tooth knocked out, and they couldn't even get an apology in return."

This time it's even more serious. As parents, instead of offering guidance and advice after your child had a conflict with a classmate, you added fuel to the fire. Isn't that inappropriate?

"Adding fuel to the fire? Teacher, what makes you say that?"
