Seeing that they already knew the answer, Xiao Yunying continued:
"We both got into fights, and I held a grudge. Luo Li also got into a fight, so why can't he hold a grudge?"
How can you expect a five-year-old to do what even adults can't?
He's just trying to get back at them by showing off that he has bubble solution and not letting them play with it. He hasn't done anything outrageous or malicious, so I don't think he's done anything wrong.
The only mistake I made was not protecting myself.
Don't think that it's a small matter for other children to bully Luo Li. The more you endure and don't fight back, the more those people will think you're easy to bully.
Don't think that things will get better after a while; as time goes by, they will only get worse.
If Luo Li grows up to be timid, weak, and inept at socializing, what great things can you expect him to accomplish?
If Luo Li suffered irreversible harm during the bullying, could you still calmly console yourself to be forgiving and magnanimous, and not hold a grudge?
Even after graduating from university and entering the workforce in her previous life, she could never forget the scenes of being ridiculed, teased, and ostracized by her classmates when she was a child.
Don't think that children don't remember things because they are young, or that they will forget them when they grow up. The shadows from childhood are the most profound and may accompany them for a lifetime.
Luo Chen couldn't find a reason to refute, so he could only stammer, "None of what you said happened. It's wrong to say that. You're teaching Ali a bad lesson."
Xiao Yunying leaned against the door: "Just because it hasn't happened now doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. Do you dare say that what I just said makes no sense at all?"
Stop making excuses for yourself. In my opinion, the most incompetent person is the older brother who cannot protect his younger brother.
Forget about being tolerant and forgiving; I'm the kind of person who holds grudges and is fiercely protective of my own. If anyone offends someone I care about, I'll retaliate tenfold or a hundredfold.
Persuade with reason? My fists are my reason; if anyone disagrees, I'll beat them until they do!
Luo Chen clenched his fists, his face flushed, and shouted, "Yes, I'm incompetent, you're powerful. You have parents and brothers to protect you, but what about us? Who will protect us? What can we do but endure it when we're wronged? If we fight back, like today, what will we do when their parents come looking for us?"
Luo Xin was startled by Luo Chen's appearance and stopped pretending to understand. She hugged her brother and said, "Big brother, why are you crying?"
Luo Chen vigorously wiped his eyes with his sleeve: "I didn't cry."
"Big brother, don't cry. If you cry, Xin'er will want to cry too."
"I already told you I didn't cry."
Luo Li stood there, at a loss. If it weren't for him, his stepmother and eldest brother wouldn't have started arguing. He didn't know what to do, so he tugged at his second brother's sleeve, hoping that his clever brother could help persuade them.
Luo Yang seemed oblivious, tilting his head slightly as he stared at a weed in the corner without reacting.
Xiao Yunying straightened up, her expression solemn.
After a while, he slowly spoke: "I'm sorry, I admit that I was taking things too for granted just now and didn't consider that our living environments are different."
Her words were based on her past self, without considering the living environment of Luo Chen in this world.
In this village, let alone parents, they don't have a single relative. Luo Chen is right. What can they do besides endure the injustices they suffer?
No one will stand by them to protect them; they have no choice but to endure it.
“If that’s the only reason, I can guarantee that our family will not cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble either. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, you will repay them the same way they treat you. No matter how big the commotion, I will take responsibility, so you don’t need to worry.”
Luo Li's eyes reddened, this time not from rubbing them with her hands: "Really?"
"Really, as long as I stay in this family, I will protect you."
Luo Xin stood on tiptoe and wiped Luo Chen's eyes with her little hands: "Big brother, did you hear that? Mom said she's protecting us."
Luo Chen heard it, but...
"What do you mean by staying in this house for one more day? Are you leaving?"
Luo Xin exclaimed, "Is Mother leaving?"
"We'll talk about this later."
She didn't plan to stay here forever. From the beginning, her decision was to raise the children until Luo Sheng returned, or until they could support themselves.
The little girl's tears came instantly, filling her eyes immediately: "Mother, don't you want Xin'er anymore?"
It seemed that as soon as Xiao Yunying said yes, tears would immediately overwhelm her.
“Your older brother is talking nonsense. Mother is not leaving for now. Be good, Xin’er. Help your older brother wash his face and help your third brother change his clothes. Mother will go cook.”
The little girl smiled through her tears, which quickly faded: "I knew Mother wouldn't abandon Xin'er. Big brother and third brother are leaving now. Go wash your face and change your clothes."
Luo Chen let Luo Xin pull him away, but he was unhappy inside.
He was somewhat hopeful when she said she would protect them.
However, the premise is that she only needs to stay at home for one day, and it's not hard to tell that she has the idea of leaving.
My sister only heard her say she wasn't leaving; she didn't hear the word "temporarily."
Her intention to leave was clear; it was just a matter of time.
My second brother is right. If she wants to leave, they can't stop her.
Why leave? Is it because human life is not good?
Or is it because I don't like them...?
