"Mom, I quarreled and fought with Fatty Li because he scolded you. Didn't you say that if anyone bullies you, you should fight him?
Xiao Dabao spoke from his heart, "Besides, I promised my new father that I would protect you. My new father also said that if we encounter bad guys, we can... defend ourselves if conditions permit."
"Self-defense." Xiao Jiahua didn't expect that Bai Keyan had taught him this.
"Yes, I hit Fatty Li in self-defense," the little guy said righteously, "You asked me to apologize, so that's fine, but why did you give him beef jerky?"
Jane is a spendthrift!
Beef jerky is so expensive, is it more valuable than a hundred "I'm sorry"s?
"..."Xiao Jiahua never expected that this was what really made Xiao Dabao angry.
No, she had to turn it right.
Xiao Jiahua persuaded him earnestly: "Then did your father ever tell you that there is a term called excessive self-defense?"
Xiao Dabao was stunned at first, then he pondered the word several times and seemed to understand its meaning.
She further explained: "That fat Li deliberately provoked trouble and deserved to be beaten. You bit him and pushed him down the hillside, making him pay the price. This was indeed legitimate defense.
"But after he fell and got hurt, he lost the ability to attack you. At this time, you ran away with the small stone and went to find an adult. But you continued to hit him with things, causing his eyebrow bone to be injured. This is excessive self-defense."
Although the injury was an accident, the brow bone is so close to the eyeball. If the child's eyesight was damaged or his eyes were broken, not only would the two families become enemies, but Li Xiaopang would also be affected for the rest of his life.
Xiao Dabao was smart and sensible, and he realized the crux of the problem without being pointed out - it was right to resist bravely, but one must find the right degree.
"Mom, I know I was wrong. I didn't mean to hit him..."
"Well, Fatty Li has apologized to you, and you have also apologized to Fatty Li. You have both learned your lesson, and this matter is over."
In fact, she didn't mind fighting violence with violence, but this was based on absolute overwhelming strength. Xiao Dabao was still a child, and at least for now, he should stay away from these things.
Xiao Jiahua rubbed his son's head and patted the suitcase. "As for beef jerky, we still have a lot left at home, so you can have some!"
Little Stone hurriedly took out two pieces of meat from his pocket and said, "Brother, eat some meat."
"You're annoying!" Xiao Dabao said with disdain. He snatched it away and took a big bite.
Xiao Jiahua picked up the bowl and fed them water lilies one by one.
These two naughty kids, clearly able to use their own milk, are now extremely dependent on her and insist on being fed by their mother herself.
Xiao Jiahua smiled and satisfied them lovingly.
In the evening, Cui Lifen, Xiao Laoshuan, and Xiao's eldest brother and his family all came to see Xiao Jiahua. They also brought a reward from the brigade, a fresh pig's hind leg.
Cui Lifen and Zhang Hongna cooked the meal themselves, and the family happily had a reunion dinner.
With stewed pig's trotters and braised pig's trotters, Xiao Dabao finally stopped worrying about the half pound of beef jerky that was given to him by his spendthrift mother.
The next day, Li Er's wife took her son and went to Xiao Jiahua's house in person. She gave all the eggs that she had saved for half a month to Xiao Jiahua.
Even Fat Li, holding the glass marbles his father bought from the town, tremblingly invited him to go to school together.
Comrade Xiao Dabao, the newly crowned "king of children", generously shook hands with him and made peace.
Xiao Jiahua originally planned to stay in Qinghe Village for a few more days to spend more time with Xiao Dabao and Xiao Shitou.
Unfortunately, the supply and marketing cooperative had a lot of work on hold, so Xu Deshun and Tong Qifang would call her every day to ask when she would resume work.
"Manager, please come to work soon. The supply and marketing cooperative is asking for towels and fabrics every day, and Accountant Ma is causing trouble again. We can't stand it any longer!"
Ding Qinqin was like an ant on the hot pan, running around in a panic.
"If you don't leave the company, I will have to take the account book and cry at your house!"
