Chapter 483 Preaching
Although he had received Shen Yanming's forgiveness, Qi Lin still felt a little guilty.
He also blurted out the other half of the truth that he hadn't revealed: "Uncle Shen, actually, I saw you and Aunt Qiao An in the shadows last night, but at that time, I was too scared, so I didn't step forward to apologize.
At that time, I was lucky enough to think that if you hadn't found me, I could have escaped. It wasn't until I was caught by my friends and scolded by my father that I realized how cowardly my behavior was.
I was like an irresponsible bastard, capable of making mistakes but not being able to fix them. When something went wrong, my dad had to step in.
He punished me to face the wall last night, which made me think clearly. It is not a manly thing to do to hide when something goes wrong.
As his father's son, I have brought shame to him. I deeply realize my mistake, so whether you intend to hold me accountable or not, I have to apologize to you solemnly. "
After saying that, he bowed to Shen Yanming again.
This time Shen Yanming suffered a lot.
After Qi Lin stood up, he smiled and said, "Young people, it's inevitable that they make mistakes as they grow up. Moreover, even for adults, when faced with a crisis or punishment, isn't their first reaction to escape? So, I can understand your stress response.
Moreover, afterward, when the victim did not pursue the matter, he took the initiative to surrender himself, which was also a manifestation of responsibility. I am deeply comforted by this.
However, I need to point out that your behavior last night was indeed worthy of criticism.
Just imagine, if your ball hits someone, and you don't step forward, what if the other person really gets into trouble because of this mistake? In that case, you will have to bear a greater responsibility!
It is better to take the initiative to admit your mistakes at the beginning, apologize if necessary, and send the victim to the hospital if necessary. Even if you are held responsible afterwards, the punishment will be much less severe because you actively rescued the victim. The victim may even forgive you directly because it was an unintentional mistake.
I'm not telling you this to help you avoid responsibility when something unexpected happens, but because I don't want you to have any misunderstandings because of my forgiveness.
I was able to forgive you so quickly because my wife and children were not hurt. However, if Joan had gone to the operating table last night due to a difficult birth, whether the three of them could survive or not, I would not let it go easily.
So, do you understand? Not everyone can write off your mistakes. What you need to do is either not make mistakes, or make the best efforts to mitigate the consequences as quickly as possible after making a mistake. Only in this way can you win the other party's forgiveness. "
Chen Yanming really is a man who rarely preaches to people who are not related to him.
He talked so much today because he thought about how he was a little careless when facing Qi Lin's apology just now.
Although he did that because he really didn't care, he realized when Qi Lin apologized for the second time that he really had to explain the cause and effect of the naughty child's mistakes and what to do next time.
Otherwise, he might not realize the seriousness of the matter, or he might still be helpless when the same scenario occurs.
Then the previous experience was really a waste of time.
After he finished speaking, he felt that he had overstepped his authority. He smiled apologetically at Qi Xili, "I was afraid that if I forgave him too easily, he would misunderstand me, so..."
Qi Xili nodded, "No, you said it very well. I often feel that it is difficult to communicate with him, so I can only resort to violence. I think the reason why he didn't dare to apologize to you last night was also because of this.
I didn't teach him well. His mother passed away early. I...
Well, why are you talking about this? It happened so many years ago. I just feel that it’s okay to teach adults like you, but it always feels a little lacking when it comes to teaching children, so he doesn’t take on enough responsibility.”
Shen Yanming felt that when Qi Xili said this, his whole spirit and energy were weakened.
He didn't know what had happened to him, so he could only comfort him: "The child is still young, it's okay for him to make some mistakes, he can correct them. It's not a big deal, don't be so sad."
Qi Lin seemed to be frightened as well, and quickly assured him, "Dad, I know I was wrong, really! I promise I won't dare to do it again in the future, you, you don't scare me!"
Qi Xili's sadness of missing his lover was dispelled by the brat's two shouts. He laughed and scolded: "If you save your energy, you can let me live a few more years."
Qi Lin nodded, but his inner fear did not diminish at all.
When his mother passed away, he was already quite old, and at that time, he knew the meaning of death.
For so many years, he and his father have been dependent on each other. Although he is busy every day and often does not smile, as long as he is there, he feels at ease.
Just now, my father missed my mother, and it felt like she was leaving him. Although he was already a grown-up boy of 13 or 14 years old, he still didn't dare to face a world that was only his own.
Qi Xili touched Qi Lin's head lovingly, "Dad loves you very much, but I can't be with you forever. One day, Dad will go find your mom. By that time, you will have to live alone, face problems alone, and bear the consequences alone.
Therefore, you must learn to be careful with your words and actions, and learn to take responsibility. "
Although the scene in front of him was a loving father and filial son, Shen Yanming always felt pain in his eyes. It might be because they were talking about life and death in Qiao An's ward.
Although he is not superstitious, he really doesn't want to listen to it anymore.
So I changed the subject, "How did you two know that Qiao An and I were in this hospital?"
Qi Xili finally realized what was happening and he was acting out a father-son relationship in front of others. He was a little embarrassed, "Well, I asked Zhu Shiliang and the others, and they said you have friends in Haishi Hospital, so I asked around and came here."
"You can give me a call!" Shen Yanming said.
"It's because I'm afraid you're busy, and I feel like what I said on the phone is insincere." Qi Xili explained.
Shen Yanming nodded, "Since everything has been made clear, let's turn the page?"
When Qi Lin heard that the matter could be turned over, he nodded hurriedly.
Qi Xili wanted to say more, but was interrupted impatiently by Comrade Lao Shen, "Captain Qi, there's really nothing to worry about. This kid doesn't seem disobedient. You can't completely deny him just because he made a mistake once!
I'm in charge this time, let's put an end to this. From now on, no one is allowed to mention it again!"
"Yanming, although Qiao An is fine, she was admitted to the hospital because of Qi Lin. I prepared some brown sugar, red dates and eggs for you two, but I didn't bring them here because there are too many people in the hospital.
When Qiao An is discharged from the hospital, I will send her home. Please don't refuse." Qi Xili said.

The author is not really suited to preaching, and it took him at least two hours to write one chapter. He was always studying the wording, fearing that he would instill incorrect values in the readers.
My ability is limited, please forgive me if there is anything wrong!
