After Qin Hanshu brought Pei'er home, she found that her son had already come out of his room.

Zhou Chi asked in confusion, "Was there a quarrel outside just now?"

While Qin Hanshu took out an orange and peeled it for Pei'er to eat, she told her son what happened outside.

After listening to this, Zhou Chi looked at Pei'er, whose mouth was full of orange juice, and frowned, "I told you not to play with your sister."

Qin Hanshu raised his eyebrows and asked his son, "Why don't you let Pei'er play with her sister?"

Zhou Chi sat next to Pei'er and took the two orange halves that Pei'er handed over.

"Her sister has a bad heart."

Qin Hanshu asked: "Why is it not good?"

Zhou Chi swallowed the orange slowly and said:

"Once, a flower pot beside the kindergarten playground broke, and someone said it was Pei'er who broke it. The teacher wanted to ask more questions, but Lin Yue'er stood up and cried and begged the teacher not to punish Pei'er."

"On the surface, she is pleading for Pei'er, but the matter has not been investigated clearly. As Pei'er's sister, isn't she admitting her sister's mistake by crying like this?"

"If someone hadn't pointed out the person who actually broke the flowerpot, and that person had admitted it, Pearl wouldn't even have had a chance to defend herself."

Qin Hanshu rarely saw his son talk so much at once. He was surprised for a moment before turning to ask Per: "Is that true?"

"Hmm?" After finishing his oranges, Per started eating the egg cake. Hearing this, he raised his head, his cheeks trembling for a long time before he nodded.

This incident probably happened quite some time ago. After all, Pei'er is still young, and not as evil as Zhou Chi, so it is normal for her to be confused.

Qin Hanshu asked Zhou Chi again: "Then do you think Yue'er did that on purpose, or did she not know that her behavior would have such consequences?"

Zhou Chi said calmly: "Except for fools, there is no one who doesn't know what he is doing, right?"

Qin Hanshu had a deeper understanding of his son's maturity.

Yes, any normal person, even a child, knows what they are doing. Maybe due to lack of experience, they cannot judge right from wrong, and cannot foresee the consequences of their actions. But if it happens too many times, this excuse will not work.

Qin Hanshu said to Pei'er, "No one is playing with little brother Xiaochi. Can you come and play with him more often in the future?"

Pei Er said aggrievedly: "I like my brother, but he only likes to read comics and write. I fall asleep when I see him."

Qin Hanshu: "...I heard that you have a good relationship with Tiedaner on the fourth floor. Play with Tiedaner more in the future."

Zhou Chi said: "My mother wants you to stop playing with your sister, stop listening to her, and stop being nice to her."

Qin Hanshu glared at his son.

Although that was what she meant, she couldn't say it so bluntly.

Although Yue'er and Pei'er are not related by blood, they are nominally a family, and in the same household registration book, she is just an outsider. If I put it bluntly, it would be instigation.

Pei'er heard Zhou Chi telling her not to play with her sister. After a moment of silence, she nodded her head.

Zhou Chi looked at her in surprise. She never listened before and only said good things about her sister.

Little girls always have a natural admiration for their older sisters who are a few years older than them.

So, Pei'er is actually very close to Yue'er.

The last time Qin Hanshu heard Yue'er say that she wanted to play with Pei'er but was afraid that Pei'er would not welcome her, she did not believe it at the time. Because Pei'er had loved running behind Yue'er since she could walk.

However, this incident finally shattered Pearl's natural love for her sister.

Zhou Chi was very happy, "Luckily, your brain is not that stupid."

Qin Hanshu stuffed a piece of egg cake into Zhou Chi's mouth, blocking his mouth.

Zhou Chi was not happy, "We'll have dinner soon, and we can't eat snacks before dinner."

Qin Hanshu: “…”

Less than an hour later, Liu Ercui and Zhang Lei came back. Xiao Ming and his mother no longer followed them, so the problem should have been solved.

"Sure enough, the doctor said that his tooth was a normal replacement and it has nothing to do with Pei'er! We didn't pay a penny!" Liu Ercui happily gave Qin Hanshu a thumbs up, "Sister, you are still smart!"

Zhang Lei's expression was not gentle at all, and he shouted: "What are you so proud of? Your daughter is causing trouble outside, and you, as a mother, can still smile."

Liu Ercui glared back unconvinced, "What has my daughter done to cause trouble?"

"If I don't cause trouble, will they come to me?"

"Just because they came to our house, does that mean they are right? Isn't it clear what happened? It was Xiao Ming who bullied Yue Er first, and Pei Er went to avenge her sister!"

Zhang Lei paused and lowered his voice. "You shouldn't do that. Girls should behave like girls. She's even more naughty than her brothers! You should let her learn more from Yue'er."

Qin Hanshu turned his head and looked at Pei'er. The little girl was sitting there motionless with her head drooping. She didn't even eat the egg cake.

Zhou Chi glanced to the side, grabbed a piece of egg cake and stuffed it into Pei'er's hand.

Qin Hanshu came back and interrupted the quarrel between Zhang Lei and Liu Ercui, saying, "Sister-in-law, you two should go back first. Pei'er will have dinner downstairs tonight."

Zhang Lei walked upstairs without saying a word.

Liu Ercui said a few words to Qin Hanshu, gave some instructions to Pei'er, and then went back.

When Liu Ercui returned home and saw Yue'er, she felt very uncomfortable.

She asked, "Yue'er, why didn't you speak at the beginning? And why did you act like that when I asked you about it later? If you had told the truth openly and honestly, the quarrel between mother and son would have ended!"

Yue'er said quickly: "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry. It's all my fault... I was just, just too scared..."

Liu Ercui felt a lump in her heart.

Okay, here we go again.

"Yue'er, let me ask you, why do you always look so timid? Do you think anyone in this family treats you badly? What are you afraid of?" Liu Ercui really couldn't figure it out.

Tears suddenly welled up in Yue'er's eyes, but she tried hard to restrain herself and not let the tears fall.

There is a contradictory feeling of being both fragile and strong.

It makes people... angry just looking at it.

The one who was angry was Liu Ercui.

Zhang Lei, who had just finished washing his hands, felt distressed when he saw this scene.

"Liu Ercui! I knew you would say Yue'er! She is timid, so it's normal for her to be scared when encountering a situation like that."

Zhang Lei came over, hugged Yue'er and left Liu Ercui's sight.

The only words that floated in the air were Zhang Lei's, "You go and cook."

Liu Ercui couldn't count how many times this had happened.

She rubbed her eye sockets and turned into the kitchen.
