Chapter 71: Kindness and Severity
The eyes of the eldest and second child were red, and because they were only three years old, they were naturally no match for the five or six-year-old children.
The fat boy pushed Dabao hard, and Dabao fell to the ground.
"Brother, brother."
Erbao was so anxious that he started crying.
Dabao didn't cry, but just stood up with his hands on the ground and argued with the little fat boy.
Shen Yueyao watched this scene from afar, and her heart ached.
She ran over at a breakneck speed, protecting Dabao and Erbao, and looked at the six-year-old boy. "Whose naughty child are you? How dare you bully others like this?"
"I'm telling you, you bullied Dabao and Erbao today. I'll definitely go talk to your parents later."
"Also, if you dare to bully Dabao and Erbao next time, I won't let you off so easily."
Shen Yueyao exuded a cold and domineering aura. The little boy was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and started crying.
"Mother, mother, someone bullied me, someone bullied me."
Shen Yueyao shouted, “Shut up!”
Shen Yueyao's voice was very stern, and the little boy didn't dare to cry or howl anymore.
Although Shen Yueyao was very angry, she would not argue with a child. Some children of this age may not know how to distinguish right from wrong. The reason why she said that was simply because she heard the adults at home say that, so she spoke like that to Dabao and Erbao.
Or perhaps he himself didn't realize the psychological trauma such words would cause to the child.
Especially since Dabao and Erbao were treated like that by their predecessors, their hearts are so fragile.
Seeing Erbao crying at this moment, Shen Yueyao felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Perhaps this is the blood bond between mother and son. Seeing them being bullied and crying, she felt very uncomfortable.
I feel stuffy and can't breathe.
Shen Yueyao hugged Dabao and Erbao and said, "Be good, Mommy is going to your grandma's house. She didn't abandon you."
"Next time, Mom will take you to your grandparents' house."
"Tell mother, is his name Shuanzi?"
Dabao nodded and said, "Yes, Mom, his name is Shuanzi."
When Dabao and Erbao saw their mother, all their unhappiness disappeared, but they both felt a little aggrieved.
In the past, they couldn’t speak out when they felt sad or wronged.
Only when they feel their mother's care and love do they dare to show their true emotions.
When they had no mother to love them, they dared not say anything, and no one knew when they were bullied.
Based on the memories of her previous life, Shen Yueyao roughly knew that Shuanzi's mother was from the family at the westernmost end of the village. Her name was Li Cuisi, and she loved to gossip about other people's families.
However, the people in the village really have no bad intentions. They just work hard all year round, have few leisure and entertainment activities, and don’t eat well, so when they have nothing to do, they like to gossip and discuss the affairs of each family in the village.
Shen Yueyao looked at the Shuanzi and said, "What you said about Dabao and Erbao just now, do you think it's right?"
"You are not doing this right. You are bullying people, and you are bullying people who are younger than you."
"A truly strong man should protect his younger brothers and sisters."
"I used to be a bad person, but I've changed now. I love Dabao and Erbao very much. They are my biological sons and my treasures. I love them so much that I can't bear to give them up."
"I also brought them some delicious food."
"So don't say that next time, got it?"
"If you feel that what you just said was wrong and you pushed Dabao down, do you have to apologize to Dabao and Erbao?"
Shen Yueyao would not argue with a child, nor would she bully a child as an adult.
It’s just that I have to say it.
The Shuanzi was stunned by what Shen Yueyao said. After thinking for a while, he whispered, "I'm sorry."
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "It's great to apologize when you know you're wrong. Here, this candy is your reward."
"You can play with Dabao and Erbao from now on, but you are not allowed to bully them. You have to protect them, okay?"
When Shuanzi saw the candy, his mouth started watering and he nodded hurriedly.
"A little man should keep his word."
Shuanzi patted his chest and made the promise.
Shen Yueyao smiled.
Give the candy to Shuanzi.
Then she took the eldest and second baby home.
"Mom, why did you give him candy?"
"This is called using both kindness and force. Mom wants him to take you out to play and protect you. But Mom has a lot of candy here, all for you, but don't eat too much, otherwise your teeth will hurt."
In fact, Shen Yueyao didn't know how to deal with the disputes between the children, nor did she know whether it was right or wrong. She also figured it out on her own and felt that doing so might be better.
"If you get bullied in the future, tell me and I will protect you."
Dabao and Erbao looked at Shen Yueyao with admiration at this time.
Or maybe because Shen Yueyao protected them this time, they changed their opinion of Shen Yueyao.
Or maybe it was because Shen Yueyao was away all day yesterday and didn't come back at night, they were scared, afraid that their mother was really gone, so they started to get close to Shen Yueyao.
After all, it's much better than before.
Especially the second baby is not as afraid of her as before, and will also come closer to her.
She would also be allowed to hold him, so Shen Yueyao was still very happy.
In fact, Shen Yueyao originally wanted to take Dabao and Erbao to find Shuanzi's mother to explain things clearly.
But she also felt that because of what she had done in her previous life, she already had a bad reputation in the village. If she did that, the parents in the village would think she was a shrew and would not let their children play with Dabao and Erbao, which would isolate Dabao and Erbao.
The eldest and second child are already influenced by their predecessor and are not as cheerful and lively as they should be. Perhaps if they play with their peers, their personalities will become more lively and cheerful.
Dabao looked at Shen Yueyao and said seriously: "Mom, thank you."
Shen Yueyao felt sorry for Dabao and said, "Dabao is my son. You don't need to thank me. As your mother, it's my duty to protect you."
"And Erbao, don't be afraid or cry, mom will protect you too."
As she spoke, Shen Yueyao wiped the tears from the corners of Erbao's eyes.
At this time, Erbao's eyes were still red.
Maybe Shen Yueyao's movements were very gentle, maybe Shen Yueyao's behavior just now touched him, or maybe it was something else.
Erbao opened his mouth slightly and called out softly, "Mom!"
Hearing Erbao calling her mother, Shen Yueyao couldn't believe it, but was very excited.
Shen Yueyao's eyes were sore and hot, and she hugged Erbao.
This time, Erbao was very serious about being held by Shen Yueyao.
After coaxing Dabao and Erbao for a while, Shen Yueyao took them into the house and said, "Come on, mother will make you something delicious for lunch today."
Yesterday afternoon, she made corn vermicelli with Cui and others. Although she didn't make much, when she came back, Cui gave her some and told her to take it home and cook it for the whole family.
Shen Yueyao also left a lot of chili peppers for her third brother and his wife to make hot and sour noodles.
If you like chili peppers, add some chili flavor; if you don’t like chili peppers, don’t add any.
When I entered the room, Su Erya was wiping the tables and chairs in the room with a rag. When she heard the noise, she hurried out.
As soon as he saw Shen Yueyao coming back, he ran over and hugged Shen Yueyao and said, "Aunt San, you are finally back. Uncle San and I missed you."
Third Aunt didn't come back last night. Su Erya was actually very nervous, fearing that Third Aunt would not come back.
She had been busy with work all morning and was a little absent-minded.
Seeing Aunt San coming back, I felt relieved.
"Why wouldn't I come back? I said I would come back, so I will definitely come back. Don't worry."
"Is your third uncle in the house?"
Su Erya shook her head and said, "No, I heard from Dabao and Erbao that Uncle San didn't go to bed very late last night. I guess he copied some books all night. I came very early this morning. Uncle San took the copied books to the town. I guess he went to exchange them for money."
"Aunt, when I saw Uncle this morning, he looked pale and didn't look well rested. I guess he's not used to you being away."
Shen Yueyao didn't believe Su Erya's words.
She changed the subject and said, "Let's make lunch first. I brought some good food this time. We'll have hot and sour noodles for lunch today."
