Liu Cong paused and continued, "An ant pinched a man, and then the ant escaped into the ant colony. The man couldn't tell which ant pinched him.
Do you think that man would reason with the ants? No, he would just step on all the ants to death.
Ants are too small, and people will never reason with them. And we are the ants..."
The younger ones like Gouzi didn't understand at all. Dashun said, "Mrs. Zhang shouldn't be such an unreasonable person."
Liu Cong nodded, "I know, I'm not saying that Madam Zhang is unreasonable. I'm saying that we shouldn't try to reason with others, because we are too insignificant...
Just like when we were fighting over food in the past, everyone saw the food, so whoever saw it first got it, right?
No, it belongs to whoever has the bigger fist. Whoever has the bigger fist has the right.”
Liu Cong then added, "Of course, I'm not telling you to be unreasonable in the future. If others are willing to be reasonable, we should also be reasonable. Do you understand?"
Dashun and Mingying both nodded. The other younger children didn’t understand what Liu Cong said at all, but they all said “Oh” in response to Liu Cong.
…
Two days later, Zhang Xiaojun and his team had another day off, so Dong Jianyong personally took two people with Zhang Hujun to pick them up.
Zhang Hulan and Yuan Gang went to pick up Zhang Xinyue, and they went after lunch. Zhang Hulan was worried that the girl would go home early again.
Zhang Hulan was right to worry. As soon as they arrived at the foot of Ziyang Temple, Zhang Xinyue came down the mountain with Daohe Daoxu, skipping and jumping.
The three of them arrived at the bottom of the triangle. Zhang Xinyue saw Zhang Hulan was waiting for her, so she ran over and asked in surprise, "Mom, why are you here? Did you come here to pick me up?"
Zhang Xinyue saw the carriage and asked in surprise, "Mom, is this carriage newly bought by our family?"
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "Yes, I bought it a few days ago."
Zhang Hulan waved to Daohe Daoxu, "Come on, get in the car, we're going home."
Zhang Xinyue and Daoxu Daohe both climbed onto the carriage. Daohe asked, "Aunt, did you make money again? Such a nice carriage must be expensive."
Daohe then sighed again: "Ah..., Daoning, I really envy you. It would be great if I also had a mother who is so good at making money..."
Zhang Xinyue said: "Then I will give you half of my mother, and you can call her my mother from now on."
Daohe teaches Zhang Xinyue how to draw talismans and how to read and write every day. Zhang Xinyue now has a very good relationship with Daohe.
Daoxu quickly asked: "What about me?"
Zhang Xinyue thought for a moment and said, "I already have two older sisters, and there is also Brother Shanzi. With Daohe, there will be five of us in the family. If there are more, my mother won't be able to take care of them all."
Daoxu said, "One more of me won't make any difference!"
Zhang Xinyue and Daoxu had been arguing along the way. It should be said that there were too many arguments, and it should be said that one more person would not make much difference...
As soon as Zhang Xinyue arrived home, Aunt Tao and Chuntao Zhuer immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Third Miss!"
Zhang Xinyue was stunned immediately.
When she knew that Chuntao and Zhuer were the maids of her elder and second elder sisters, she was extremely envious.
Zhang Hulan asked, "Yueyue, if you want a maid, I will buy you one."
Daohe immediately said, "Aunt, Master will definitely not allow it."
Although Zhang Xinyue asked Daohe to call Zhang Hulan "mother", Daohe was not as unreliable as Zhang Xinyue and still called her "aunt".
Zhang Xinyue asked Daohe, "Why doesn't the master allow it?"
Daohe said, "We are cultivators, how can we have maids? Haven't you seen that the brothers and sisters in the Taoist temple have to grow their own vegetables and food?"
Zhang Xinyue said, "That's not necessarily the case. Master likes me, so maybe he would agree to let me find a maid."
Dao He curled his lips, "Then you can ask Master when you get back and find out. But if Master hits you with a slap, don't cry."
Zhang Hulan asked in surprise: "Did Yueyue get hit on the hand?"
Daohe was about to speak when Zhang Xinyue covered his mouth and stopped him from speaking.
Zhang Xinyue also threatened Dao He, "If you dare to say that, I won't give you candy anymore."
Who knew Xu quickly said: "Daoning was naughty in the Taoist temple and was spanked by the master..."
"Daoxu..." Zhang Xinyue got furious and immediately chased after Daoxu to beat him up.
Daoxu had already run away, and Zhang Xinyue couldn't catch up with him at all.
As soon as Zhang Xinyue came back, the house became much more lively. Her laughter was everywhere...
When Zhang Xiaobing and his friends come back in the evening, the house becomes even more lively.
Since they came back, we now need two tables for meals at home.
Several children can share one sheet, and adults can take one individually.
The next day, Zhang Xinyue and her friends knew that some good children had come to the village, so they ran to the village to play.
Zhang Xinyue felt sorry for the children who were about her age working. She also thought about herself and her elder and second sisters last year and felt that she was so happy now.
Zhang Xinyue felt that she was very happy, and the children in the village also envied her.
Seeing Zhang Xinyue and the others playing around, they also wanted to play.
But when they think about their identities, their current lives and their past lives, they all work honestly.
Zhang Xinyue saw those kids planting lotus roots, so she took Dao with her to plant with them. Or rather, to play together...
When Zhang Xinyue and her friends came back from playing tired, they were covered in mud. Aunt Tao quickly boiled water for them to take a bath.
Dao and Daoxu had no clothes, so they wore Zhang Xiaobing's. Although they were a little big, they were still wearable.
Zhang Hulan thought she should prepare two sets of clothes for Dao and Daoxu at home...
Happy times are always short. After a day of playing, those who need to go to the academy will continue to go to the academy, and those who need to go to the Taoist temple will continue to go to the Taoist temple.
Zhang Hulan brought a lot of delicious food to Zhang Xinyue and Daoxu Daohe. When Zhang Xiaojun and the others went to the academy, the management was stricter, so Zhang Hulan gave the three of them some silver and asked them to buy food themselves in the county town or ask their classmates to bring them food.
…
A few days passed, and Dong Jianyong had been waiting in the woods. On the fifth day, he finally saw Hu Sanlang.
It has been seven or eight days and there has been no news. Hu Sanlang plans to come and see how Ma Er and the others are doing.
As soon as he entered Daping Village, Dong Jianyong rushed out of the woods, grabbed his neck and dragged him into the woods.
Hu Sanlang's legs were shaking with fear. Dong Jianyong was pinching his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe. He asked with difficulty, "What are you going to do?"
Dong Jianyong grinned, "What should I do? What do you think?"
Seeing that Hu Sanlang was about to die, Dong Jianyong loosened his grip a little.
Hu Sanlang was breathing heavily.
Dong Jianyong asked again: "Tell me, why did you kidnap my wife?"
Hu Sanlang was immediately shocked. Were Ma Er and the others exposed?
"Don't try to make excuses. The people you hired have already exposed you. Tell me, why did you kidnap my wife?"
Hu Sanlang's mind raced, and he had to find a way to escape.
