Erdan was speechless, but his thoughts had been ingrained for years, and all he could say was one sentence: "But everyone around him says that about him. They say he's a bad guy, a disaster. The closer you are to him, the more unlucky you will be. He killed his family."
"Erdan!"
Lin Xuanjiao was really angry this time. She had never spoken to Erdan in such a fierce tone before.
Erdan was so scared by Lin Xuanjiao's harsh shout that he immediately shut his mouth. Looking at Lin Xuanjiao's expression, he felt very aggrieved. He was clearly following what the villagers said, so why was Sister Lin so mean to him?
Erdan felt very aggrieved. He felt that he had done nothing wrong. Everyone in the village said so. Was there anything wrong with him saying so?
The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt. In the end, Erdan's eyes even turned red and filled with tears, but he was stubborn and refused to let the tears fall.
Lin Xuanjiao couldn't vent her anger anymore when she saw Erdan like this. The angry shout she just made was like a balloon that was punctured and deflated instantly, and her anger dissipated along with it.
Lin Xuanjiao sighed and wiped the tears from Erdan's eyes with her hands: "Erdan, I hope you can have your own ideas, instead of just following the crowd and believing everything others say."
Erdan sniffled, his eyes red as he looked like a little rabbit: "My own thoughts?"
"Right!" Lin Xuanjiao nodded. "Everything in this world needs to be seen for yourself, not just understood by others' words."
Erdan looked confused: "I'll go and see it myself?"
Lin Xuanjiao patted Erdan's head and smiled softly. The sunlight shining on her bright and bold face made her look particularly gentle at this moment. "Yes, only by experiencing it yourself can you understand the whole story."
Then Lin Xuanjiao looked at Erdan and asked, "You and Brother Song have never met before. Why are you using such harsh words on Brother Song? It's too cruel to treat a stranger you haven't met many times!"
Erdan nodded, seemingly understanding, then looked at Lin Xuanjiao, bewildered and helpless. "Then... Sister Lin, did I do something wrong?"
Lin Xuanjiao nodded affirmatively: "Of course you did something wrong. Your mistake is that you didn't even understand that person and yet you used harsh words on them."
Then Lin Xuanjiao patted Erdan's head again and said, "Erdan, I hope this is the first and last time you do something like this. Next time, don't use harsh words on people you don't even know."
Erdan nodded, his eyes still red, but his spirits were much better than before: "Sister Lin, I will definitely remember what you said and won't do it again next time."
Lin Xuanjiao nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the children around her and asked, "Do you know?"
The children nearby nodded quickly. Lin Xuanjiao didn't know if they understood, so she repeated what she had just said several times to ensure that the children remembered it all.
When the group of children were about to leave, Erdan looked at the four candies in his hand and clenched his palms.
At this moment, Erdan was struggling with his conscience. After Lin Xuanjiao's persuasion, Erdan already knew how excessive what he had done before was. However, if he was asked to apologize to Song Yingan, he couldn't find Song Yingan.
After struggling in his heart for a while, when he was about to step out of the door, Erdan turned his head again and looked at Lin Xuanjiao as if he wanted to say something.
Lin Xuanjiao looked at Erdan in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
Erdan took a deep breath, as if he had made some important decision, and ran towards Lin Xuanjiao quickly.
Just when Lin Xuanjiao didn't know what Erdan was doing, Erdan put the candy he was holding tightly in his hand into Lin Xuanjiao's hand.
Facing Lin Xuanjiao's puzzled face, Erdan swallowed hard before whispering, "This is my apology to Brother Song. I hope Sister Lin can give it to Brother Song."
After hearing Erdan's words, Lin Xuanjiao's bad mood, which had just been caused by the children cursing at Song Ying'an, improved a little. "Why don't you hand it over to Brother Song in person? I'm sure Brother Song will be very happy."
Erdan stuck out his tongue embarrassedly: "Because I don't know where Brother Song is! I can only trouble Sister Lin to help me with this."
At this point, Erdan's eyes rolled around again, looking very mischievous: "Besides, Sister Lin, aren't you dating him? When you come forward, our relationship will definitely get better."
Lin Xuanjiao tapped Erdan's forehead helplessly: "You, you are so naughty. You must have caused a lot of trouble at home!"
Erdan turned his face away embarrassedly. From his expression, you could tell that he had never done anything good at home.
Because the shame that rose from his heart spread throughout his body, Erdan felt that he could not stay here any longer.
So Erdan gave all the candies he had distributed this afternoon to Lin Xuanjiao and told her to convey his apology.
Lin Xuanjiao also earnestly promised to convey his apology to Song Ying'an. Erdan seemed relieved and walked out again.
When the other children saw Erdan's behavior, they followed suit and took out their own candies from their hands, hoping that Lin Xuanjiao would pass them to Song Yingan and express their apologies.
Lin Xuanjiao accepted everything that came her way, and then promised the children, "I will definitely bring the gifts to Brother Song, so don't worry! Go out and play quickly! Remember what I said today!"
Seeing the children nodding their heads as quickly as chicks pecking at rice, the last trace of anger in Lin Xuanjiao's heart disappeared. Who was she angry at just now? It was the children!
Children of this age are mentally immature, so they naturally believe what people around them say.
However, Lin Xuanjiao didn't want these children to develop the bad habit of blindly following others, so she reminded them one by one of what she said today, hoping that these children who nodded repeatedly could understand what she said.
After sending the child out, Lin Xuanjiao returned to where she was and stood for a while. Looking at the bright sunny sky, she suddenly felt a little emo again.
Lin Xuanjiao has always missed her original family. Isn't that nonsense? Who wouldn't miss their home? Of course, some parents are incompetent and make their children only want to leave the suffocating family.
Lin Xuanjiao's family is happy and harmonious without any conflicts. Even if there are any, they are just minor frictions. It is such a family that makes Lin Xuanjiao always miss her former home.
