However, seeing the little one wiping away tears and eating a steamed bun, after spending so much time together, Yin Lan couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
After everyone at the table finished eating, the men went home satisfied.
Erwa obediently boiled water by himself, washed himself clean, and changed into clean clothes. Only then did he realize how wonderful it was to be clean and tidy.
Then, a figure suddenly walked in.
When Erwa saw this, his eyes, which had already stopped turning red, suddenly stung again.
He turned over and hid himself, refusing to look at Yin Lan.
Yin Lan found it amusing. She walked over, picked up the fried egg in her hand, and fanned it towards Erwa.
Hold it under his nose and let him smell it.
The baby really didn't move at all. No matter how much Yin Lan tried to move him, he just seemed to be asleep.
Only the sound of him desperately swallowing betrayed him.
"It smells so good, it smells so good, it tastes so good! These fried eggs smell amazing!" Yin Lan said.
Erwa endured it for a while, then finally sat up abruptly, his gaze towards Yin Lan filled with anger and grievance.
"mother!"
He was already so hungry, but his mother still tempted him with his favorite food!
Wow, he dares to yell at his mother!
"Finally awake? Stop pretending? Here, eat." Yin Lan handed it over.
Erwa's initially angry face gradually turned a little embarrassed. When he saw the fried egg in front of him, he was incredulous, but then his eyes lit up, and saliva uncontrollably dripped from the corner of his mouth.
"I...I...I haven't pulled enough grass, I can't eat it," Erwa said, struggling.
Yin Lan found it amusing; how old is he, yet he's already such a well-behaved child who follows the rules.
Yin Lan taught her two children, "Pulling weeds is your income from labor, and this fried egg is an egg of love from your mother, given to you out of love. You can eat it."
Erwa's eyes lit up, and he immediately started yelling.
He looked at Yin Lan uncertainly, and when he noticed her encouraging gaze, he immediately picked up the fried egg and wolfed it down, his mouth dripping with oil. As he ate, Erwa couldn't help but purse his lips, and tears and saliva mixed together and flowed down his face.
"Waaaaah..."
"Shhhhh..."
Yin Lan: "..."
That drool was unbelievable, and there was snot coming out of his nose too. Should she wipe it for him, or not? Should she not wipe it? Should she not wipe it?
Yin Lan decisively chose the latter.
Erwa felt so miserable, so tired, and so wronged today...
"Waaaaah..."
He was crying while biting into an egg, but it didn't stop him from eating at all.
Yin Lan held the baby in her arms, naturally avoiding his dirty little face, and let him cry until he was done before telling him, "You get what you choose. If you choose farming, it's a harder path with less output. Studying is also hard work, but the rewards will be much better. Even if you don't pass the exam, you can still become a scholar, or even a student, and teach. A month's tuition is more than half a year's salary from farming. If you pass the exam and become a scholar or a graduate, your future will be even brighter."
Erwa listened, sobbing, and when Yinlan wasn't looking, he secretly wiped his drool, tears, and snot on his mother's body.
He wouldn't have dared to do that before, but now he already knows that although his mother scolds them, she doesn't really scold them, and she has never hit them again. Erwa's courage swelled up like a balloon.
"Of course, if Erwa really likes farming, I won't interfere. I'm just telling you and letting you experience what it's like to choose each path. If Erwa insists, then I will support Erwa in farming. But everyone is responsible for their own choices. I can't be with you until you're old. Whatever happens to you in the future is the result of your own choices. Do you understand?"
Yin Lan looked at Erwa tenderly.
Erwa nodded hesitantly.
"Alright, think it over yourself, and then come back and tell your mother."
Ah, Yin Lan is a single mother. She never imagined she was actually quite good at educating children. Look how well she reasoned with them, what a heartwarming scene of motherly love and filial piety...
Before the thought had even finished, Yin Lan'er's expression froze, then quickly turned ugly.
"Chen! Er! Qi!"
What does it mean when an elderly mother calls her child's full name with a strong voice?
Anyway, Erwa understood immediately, stopped crying and feeling less sad, quickly got out of bed, and ran away.
Yin Lan chased after her, her face turning pale with anger.
This Chen Erwa just blew his nose with her clothes right in front of her!
Blow your nose!
Blow your nose!
Yin Lan, who has a slight case of mysophobia, doesn't even dare to look at her own clothes now; the hairs on her body stand on end.
Erwa immediately hid behind Chen Yourun, crying, "Dad, save me! Mom is going to hit me!"
If it were Chen Yourun who had just returned, upon hearing the child speak like that, his face would immediately darken, and he would definitely side with the child.
But now he already knows that of his three children, apart from the youngest who is still unsteady on his feet and won't cause trouble for the time being, the eldest and second eldest are capable of driving him crazy.
Sure enough, the next second, Yin Lan rushed out, "Get out of my way, I'm going to beat Erwa today."
Erwa was terrified and clung tightly to his father's trouser leg, which was his lifeline!
Yin Lan wasn't afraid at all. She knew Chen Yourun loved children and wouldn't allow her to hit them. On the first day he came back, he immediately gave her a hard time because of her threats. But today, she didn't care about any of that.
She's not afraid of divorce, even if it's the worst that can happen.
"Get out of my way," Yin Lan threatened.
"No, no, no," Erwa pleaded with his father, looking up at his little face.
Chen Yourun glanced at Erwa, who was clinging to his leg, and patted his head. Erwa was overjoyed. With Chen Yourun backing him up, he was no longer afraid!
Yin Lan sneered, "Fine."
The next second, Chen Yourun pried open Erwa's tiny fingers one by one and slowly moved one step away.
Under Erwa's incredulous gaze, he gestured for Yinlan to enter.
Erwa: "???"
Yin Lan: "?"
Chen Yourun even said, "Do you want me to do it for you? I should be able to hit the child more hard."
Erwa started crying loudly, "Daddy doesn't care about me anymore, Daddy's so mean!"
He immediately and astutely changed tactics and began to beg for mercy.
"I was wrong, Mother. I will never wipe my nose on you again. Last time you weren't home, I only wiped it on your clothes once. The time before that, you didn't see me when I wiped it secretly. I always made sure to avoid you. And before that, I was very careful. I... I will never dare to do it again. I will never let you find out."
Yin Lan softened when Erwa apologized. She was just a germaphobe, so she was furious when she first saw it, but now that she has calmed down, she has calmed down.
Little did they know, this second child was simply...
