"Xiuhua, I know you meant well by doing this for everyone's benefit."
However, those words that Siya had said before...
Anyone with a modicum of sense, upon reflection, would begin to wonder if Si Ya had been taught what she said.
The things you made Siya say will only cause people to gossip for a while if they spread them around.
It seems that your aunt and the others have damaged their reputation, but your and Siya's reputations won't be much better.
Once the villagers have something new to do, they'll quickly forget about this incident.
Moreover, to others, it was just a good show.
But your reputation can't be recovered.
It's best to avoid doing things that will harm the enemy a thousand while also damaging yourself eight hundred.
And you, Tiedan, next time you get into a fight, make sure you understand the situation.
If the other side has a large number of people and is powerful, you should avoid their sharp edge first.
Although my uncle and his group lost money this time, we only benefited from the influence of the village chief and his group.
And in the end, you suffered physical pain.
Seeing Xiuhua's conflicted expression, Ning Jing sighed. Her reputation for being shrewish had already spread, and she didn't want to lead the children astray.
She didn't even have a boyfriend before, let alone know how to raise children.
So, after thinking about it, she told Xiuhua and Tiedan what was on her mind.
"What my sister-in-law means is that we shouldn't confront the enemy openly alone, but rather find an opportunity to strike them secretly, right?"
Tie Dan waved his other intact arm and said with shining eyes.
"Second brother, I'll help you eliminate the enemy."
Siya tilted her head and then waved her little fist as she spoke.
Xiuchun's eyes lit up. She had been scared when Tiedan, Jianguo, and Dahua fought, so she hadn't been able to help.
If it's done in secret, then there's not much to be afraid of.
When Ning Jing heard Tie Dan say that, she couldn't help but rub her forehead.
What I meant was, I told you not to fight!
Fuqiang, you come out here! How are you going to educate your child? I can't do this job.
However, no matter how she called out to Fuqiang in her mind, he remained silent.
"Ahem, remember this: you should always be wary of others, but never have the intention to harm them."
As long as others don't provoke us, we will naturally treat them politely.
If others cause us trouble, we are not so easily bullied.
Don't forget, if anything happens, come back and tell your sister-in-law first. She'll stand up for you, okay?
With no other option, Ning Jing gave up, cleared her throat, took a deep breath, and said to them.
"I understand, sister-in-law!"
The children looked at Ning Jing with bright eyes and replied in unison.
They saw it clearly just now; their uncle and aunt were completely defenseless against what their sister-in-law said.
Especially when Tie Dan slapped his older cousin twice at the end, he felt all the pent-up anger he had been holding in during the fight was swept away.
"We're making dumpling soup and boiled sweet potatoes for lunch today. Everyone needs to be full so they have the energy to work."
Ning Jing called Xiu Hua, and they went to the kitchen to cook together.
Tie Dan was left in the room to watch over the twins and get some rest.
When Xiuchun saw her sister-in-law and second sister go to the kitchen, she quickly pulled Siya along to the side room, brought out a bundle of firewood, and took it to the kitchen.
The kindling for starting a fire was almost always picked up by the children when they went to dig for wild vegetables.
The kind of firewood that's as thick as an arm can only be chopped by an adult with a machete.
