古代闺秀被强高H

Chapter 867: Wise teachings

" You truly know how to raise the sky on your head don\'t you?" Yu Dong fiercely glared at her brother who was kneeling on the carpeted floor with a sobbing face. Yu Mai knew that he was in the wrong which was why he did not dare to cry loudly but after getting scolded by his sister, he could not help but shed a few tears.        

" Do I still need you to worry about something so small? If they have kidnapped Doctor Gu, I would have made them spit everything out including their underpants! But why do you have to jump into the mess? If I as the owner of this village still need to rely on an army of children then I should just jump off the cliff head first into the ocean! You all were supposed to stay in! You are lucky that your brothers-in-law did not lose their minds in panic and were able to track you all down, or else!" Yu Dong fiercely glared at Yu Mai who hiccuped.      

" Have you ever thought what would have happened if we were just a few minutes late? You were almost in the hands of those human eaters! A few seconds more and a bunch of you would have been stuffed and taken away to the big stone village!"      

Yu Dong still felt a chill every time she thought about how her youngest son was in the hands of that rotten woman, if not for the fact that she approached her quickly, that woman might have taken her sons away along with this idiotic brother of hers, who thought that he could bite more than he could chew!      

" But you always say that we should bully those who bully us back——" countered Yu Mai and this time Yu Dong felt her string of patience snap as she raised her hands and tried to catch Yu Mai who was kneeling on the ground.    

" You are still quibbling! I see that you do not have an ounce of regret, come here. Once I make your buttocks bloom let\'s see if you still dare to step out of the house!" Yu Dong tried to grab Yu Mai with her outstretched hands.      

" Sister cannot touch Mai, sister is a woman and Mai is a mer—— after the age of seven even siblings cannot touch each other," Yu Mai got up from the ground and then dashed away from Yu Dong\'s grabby paws before hiding behind his eldest brother in law as he said in a spoiled voice, " Eldest brother in law,  I was only trying to do what was right …tell sister that she cannot hit me for doing something which is correct."      

" You little…" Yu Dong opened her mouth to scold Yu Mai but she was stopped by Shen Li who raised his hands and then said calmly, " You need to calm down, Dong Dong. There is no point in hitting Mai, he might be wrong but if you hit him then he will learn to turn a blind eye to the difficulties of others. In the future, if he sees anyone who needs his help, he will definitely turn a blind eye to that person and won\'t show any sympathy to that person. Do you wish for him to become a mer who does not even know what it means to be empathetic ?"    

" But he…" Yu Dong opened her mouth to refuse Shen Li, she was clearly still very dissatisfied with Yu Mai\'s actions of leading a group of children to attack those two women from the big stone village.    

" I know that you are angry that he placed Bo Bo and Little Bun in danger but his heart was in the right place, all right?" He told his wife gently before turning to look at Yu Mai who was looking smug and then helplessly shook his head before crouching down as he flicked Yu Mai on the forehead and then said in a soft voice, " And you too Mai, I do not care what you do when the situation is not dangerous but if there is danger around you and you know that you cannot face it, then you need not rush forward. You need to call an adult instead of rushing in the mouth of danger all right?"      

"Your sister is right, today what you did was very wrong. If I and your brothers-in-law did not appear in time, then you and the other kids could have gotten seriously hurt. What was more you even scared your grandmother and sister… even Brother Mi and Brother Chi were scared when they found out that their sons were taken away, Bo Bo and little bun are still young, you cannot take them away as you wish especially not in a place which is dangerous."      

" A good uncle protects himself and his nephews and nieces, do you understand?"      

" Then…Then was Mai wrong?" Yu Mai asked as he played with the seams of his shirt while looking down at the ground with teary eyes as he sniffed clearly on the verge of crying again.      

" Mai was not wrong," Shen Li picked up Yu Mai and hugged him close, because Yu Mai was no longer that heavy after running around he was able to hug him without any problems. " You were right in trying to save Doctor Gu, even courageous but you see Mai …there are some problems that only adults can face, it is like your clothes. Since no adults can wear your clothes, similarly you cannot wear the clothes of an adult either, likewise, the problems of a child cannot be solved by adults and the problems of adults cannot be dealt with by children, do you understand?"
