After lying in the hospital for two days, Jian Dan was finally allowed to be discharged and go home. Jian Dan felt that she was just exhausted from being too nervous and that she would be fine after resting. However, the two elderly people and Qin Qinghuai would not agree. Helpless, Jian Dan stayed in bed after arriving home.
However, another matter she had been thinking about has now come up in a good time.
Looking at the clueless little cub, still giggling while hugging the white wolf, Qin Qinghuai sighed inwardly. He was naturally reluctant to part with him, but his wife was right. This child was at a crucial stage of his education. He didn't quite understand the rules yet, and if the parents didn't persuade him, things could really turn out differently with the little cub, like what happened this time.
She was indeed a bit too free; otherwise, her daughter-in-law would likely not have had to suffer like this. Thinking about it this way, she felt a little more at ease about beating the child.
After all, both his wife and daughter are equally precious to him.
"Shall we do it, or should we?"
Jian Dan sat cross-legged on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), looking like she was deep in thought, while Qin Qinghuai felt a little unsure. In the past, he hadn't been the one to be firm in disciplining the children; Jian Dan was usually the one who could be ruthless and cold-faced.
"How about I talk to her? If that doesn't work, then you can take action?"
I glanced at him briefly; his distrust was obvious.
Are you sure? You won't feel bad when I hit you?
"I am heartbroken, of course. You are right, this education issue is of utmost importance. You are at home and can accurately find her direction, but what if you are not at home? Not to mention the patrol team, even if I go up there myself, I don't have this telepathic connection, and I can't do what you do."
The child's current temperament is indeed too carefree and lacks restraint.
While we want her to have fewer restrictions and a happier childhood, it's also true that some fundamental rules and principles need to be established.
With a sigh, Qin Qinghuai lowered his voice.
"To be honest, I'm a little scared now. You two, you said she was brave, but how were you any better? Didn't you just walk away? How reckless!"
Tell me, if either of you gets hurt even a little bit, tell me, what hope do I have left?
"Hey, don't think that way. You should know my ability to protect myself. I won't let myself get hurt. Besides, the reason I dared to go up so decisively is because I confirmed the child's location. Otherwise, I would definitely have been extremely cautious."
The man's expression clearly showed he hadn't been comforted, so Jian Dan could only soften her voice.
"Okay, okay, I promise, if something like this happens again, I will definitely consider it thoroughly and discuss it with you."
Qin Qinghuai wasn't angry with her, but he regretted it as soon as he said it. He was scared and annoyed, but also a little upset and dissatisfied with himself. His wife could come and go freely on the mountain when she went to the countryside, but he couldn't help her. Instead, he became suspicious first, which was really wrong of him.
With him gone, the soldiers probably couldn't be of much help, and there was nothing they could do. His wife was forced to go up the mountain.
The more I think about it, the more frustrated I become.
My mother is right. Some things really need to be thought through thrice. He blurted out those words in a hurry, but you can imagine that if he said them too often, even he would feel disheartened.
His expression changed several times; even Jian Dan seemed a little confused, thinking he still didn't believe him, so he explained again.
"I'm not just saying this to appease you. I will definitely think twice before doing anything dangerous in the future. After all, I have a little one to take care of. She's getting older and I'm afraid she'll follow my example."
However, I was just thinking of discussing something with you. When it's not busy, I'd like to take her out for walks, like Xiao An and the others. Even though they don't need to go hunting or anything like that, they should still know some survival skills. Our location is like this; we're right here in the mountains. Rather than keeping the child confined there and not letting her go anywhere, it's better to let her experience things, let her discover dangers herself, and let her know what the consequences might be. That way, if she encounters a similar situation in the future, she won't panic and become helpless.”
Qin Qinghuai was a few beats slower, but he understood what she meant.
"Of course this is good. Dad said before that we should raise the wolf cubs and give them to the children in the future. This is the same idea."
Girls, whether they are out and about or doing anything else, should of course have the ability to protect themselves. This way, both we as parents and the children can feel more at ease.
"Wife, I would be even happier if our daughter could become a second you; that would be my ideal."
Simple,"......"
"Go away, what nonsense are you talking about? The child is still here."
The little boy hugged the white wolf cub, looked at his father and mother, and didn't dare to say much. Although he wasn't frightened on the mountain these past few days, he was taken directly to the hospital after coming down the mountain, which gave him quite a fright.
When she returned, her grandparents scolded her because she had run away with the wolf without permission, which caused this chaotic panic.
The uncles in the family compound would jokingly say things like, "You can't do that anymore," when they saw her. Some of her friends were even more uninhibited, repeating everything the adults in their families said.
“My mom said it was because you were disobedient and ran around, and your aunt was looking for you, which is why you went up the mountain and encountered danger.”
This incident has become a negative example in the residential compound, with every family using it to discipline their children.
“If you and Qin Huanyan continue to be disobedient and run off to the mountains, then I will abandon you. Your parents don’t have the ability to go into the mountains, so you can stay on the mountain by yourself and don’t need to come back.”
“If you scare yourself away again, you'll end up like Qin Huanyan, lost and gone. If Mom can't find you, you'll never see Mom again.”
