"Sister-in-law punished me! My brother and Cui Jiabao fought because Cui Jiabao pushed me down, and Cui Jiabao said bad things about my brother and you. He's so mean. My brother did nothing wrong."
The little girl said in her childish voice, "And I kicked Cui Jiabao once."
"That kick of yours was about the same as tickling Cui Jiabao."
The adorable little Wu chimed in.
“Sister-in-law didn’t say you did anything wrong. I wanted to hear the whole story from you. Now that you’ve explained it clearly, let’s hear my opinion.”
Song Lan gently patted the tops of the two little ones' heads, then said softly, "I remember telling you before that impulsiveness doesn't solve problems. Besides, sometimes fists can't solve problems either; they can only complicate things and even cause irreparable consequences."
"You were indeed in the right today, but what you should have done was tell the teacher. Did your sister-in-law mention this to you?"
"have."
The two little ones stood side by side, looking very well-behaved, and they both nodded their little heads.
"But you didn't go to see the teacher, which clearly shows you've forgotten what your sister-in-law said..."
Just as Song Lan was about to continue, she saw the two little ones shake their heads hurriedly. The adorable little Wu said, "I haven't forgotten what my sister-in-law said. I just couldn't help myself and got into a fight with Cui Jiabao."
After a pause, the child continued, "Besides, Cui Jiabao attacked first. If I don't fight back, wouldn't I be a coward?"
"Coward? You learned that from your second brother, didn't you?"
Song Lan asked.
The adorable little boy hesitated for a moment, nodded his little head, and said, "It's because my second brother mentioned it once that I remembered it. It wasn't that my second brother intentionally taught me. Sister-in-law, please don't blame my second brother."
Furthermore, my fight with Cui Jiabao was actually self-defense. Later, after the teacher investigated the matter, she didn't severely criticize my sister and me; she just told us that fighting is wrong.
We demanded that Cui Jiabao apologize to us, and that my sister and I apologize to Cui Jiabao as well. Judging from the teacher's handling of the situation, my sister and I were indeed not at fault.
The sweet and soft-spoken little girl nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Sister-in-law, my brother and I did nothing wrong."
Seeing Song Lan turn her gaze over, the little girl continued, "But fighting is wrong. Our teacher told us that, and my brother and I both remember it. Sister-in-law, please don't be angry with us, okay?"
"Okay, sister-in-law, don't be angry."
She wasn't angry to begin with; after all, the one who starts it is the one who's rude!
With a smile in her eyes, Song Lan patted the two little ones on the head again and said, "Let's leave it at that for today, but there can't be a next time."
Seeing the two little ones nod, Song Lan looked at them with affection and continued, "Don't blame your sister-in-law for scolding you. I just don't want you to get hurt, so I have to scold you to teach you a lesson."
Upon hearing this, the two little ones shook their heads vigorously, indicating that they did not blame Song Lan, their sister-in-law.
Reaching out, Song Lan gently pulled the two children into her arms, hugging them tightly. She said, "I know you're both good kids, but fighting is dangerous. What if the other person is stronger than you?"
"You're bound to get hurt then. If you're accidentally injured in the eyes, you might lose your sight in the future. What will you do to your sister-in-law if that happens?"
Her tone was full of heartache. Song Lan genuinely loved the two little ones. Putting aside how the two children were before she came into this world, just after she came into this world and became their sister-in-law, these twins were really sensible. Unlike some children who are naughty and often roll on the ground, asking their family for this and that.
In short, they're incredibly noisy!
"Sister-in-law, from now on we will think more carefully when we encounter problems."
The adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, said something in his childish voice.
The little girl also spoke up: "Don't be impulsive, don't fight, find a teacher or parent to solve the problem."
"That's right!"
She tightened her arms around him and said with a smile, "Our fifth and sixth children are the smartest. They need to learn to protect themselves when they're out and about and not do anything that will worry their families."
The two little ones nodded their heads and responded with "hmm".
"Now tell your sister-in-law, are you injured?"
There were no signs of a fight on the faces and necks of the two children, and the teacher hadn't mentioned that they had been injured. However, Song Lan felt it was still necessary to ask the two little ones.
The little girl said, "Sister-in-law, Cui Jiabao just pushed me to the ground, I'm not hurt!"
Tuanzi Xiaowu: "Cui Jiabao and I only tore each other's clothes. I didn't grab him with my hands, and he didn't grab me with his hands either."
"Sister-in-law, the way my brother and Cui Jiabao are fighting is like they're wrestling!"
The little girl said something with a shy smile.
Upon hearing this, Song Lan smiled and said, "It's good that you're not hurt." Thinking about the reason why the two little ones had fought with the Cui family's child next door, Song Lan couldn't help but wonder why they were suddenly asked to move, and to live in such a large tenement.
Could it really be because of her and Qin Yanzheng?
In the old residential area, although there are many detached houses like Song Lan's, there are more large courtyards. Those who can live in detached houses are undoubtedly middle and senior-level leaders of the factory.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some workers with long service, high rank, large families, and who have made great contributions to the factory have the right to be allocated to live in a private courtyard.
Cui Xingwang was demoted after being found to have made a mistake at work some time ago, which meant he lost the right to continue living in the detached courtyard. At that time, the relevant departments of the factory had already asked him to vacate the courtyard and move into a newly allocated house.
Knowing the factory's regulations, Cui Xingwang naturally dared not voice any objections.
But Zheng Laidi was unwilling!
