Chapter 158 The Eldest Sister's Dilemma

Chapter 158 The Eldest Sister's Dilemma

Xiao Tiantian couldn't believe she had been beaten.

Although he had previously assured Lei Jingwu that even if his older sister hit him, it was for his own good.

But Xiaotian still couldn't quite accept that she had actually been hit.

In his mind, only disobedient children were beaten.

Only children who are disliked get hit...

But today I got beaten up.

After spanking Xiaotian's bottom, Yao Shula didn't regret it at all.

Xiao Tiantian is too smart and too good at reading people. She is faster than anyone else at admitting her mistakes, and she is faster than anyone else at running away when she sees that things are not going well.

He said he admitted his mistake, but in reality... it was just a choice made after weighing the options.

The little guy is so smart that sometimes even Yao Shula can't tell which of his words are true and which are false.

If we don't fix it now, it'll inevitably branch out when it grows up...

Seeing the three children looking on incredulously, Yao Shula breathed a sigh of relief.

Pointing to the door of the main room, Yao Shula gestured for Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian to go and stand there as punishment.

"You two go stand over there! Talk to me again when you've figured things out."

Shuxin, keep an eye on those two!

After Yao Shula finished speaking, she went to the kitchen with a stern face.

The weather was already hot and humid, and with the rain, everything felt sticky and uncomfortable.

With the intense activity she had just done, Yao Shula felt covered in sweat.

She went into the kitchen, filled a basin with water, and began to wash her face.

Perhaps it was too hot, because Yao Shula buried her face in the water again without thinking, feeling her pores being cleansed...

...

Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian were standing at the entrance of the main room and could see Yao Shula's actions in the kitchen.

Yao Shuxin was still scolding the two of them.

"Do you two know you were wrong? I hit you because I wanted what was best for you."

Why doesn't the older sister hit the children outside?

You two should think carefully about whether you were wrong. Where did you go wrong? Once you've figured it out, go and admit your mistakes to your older sister…

Look at yourselves, how angry you've made your older sister!

"You two made my older sister so angry that she buried her face in the basin and cried again. You two... should reflect on your actions!" Yao Shuxin angrily kicked Yao Shuli's shin again.

Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian also saw Yao Shula bury her face in the basin.

They were filled with regret.

They made the older sister cry! She's currently burying her face in a basin of water and sobbing uncontrollably!

They both deserved to be beaten!

...

Yao Shula stayed in the kitchen for a while before she calmed down.

Well, the two little ones are still in the process of forming their values, so it seems normal for them to sometimes follow the crowd and do things that are popular.

Now that the fight has already begun, the next step is to reason with them.

After all, a combination of firmness and flexibility is the best way to solve all problems.

Yao Shula wiped her face again before heading to the main room.

The rain has stopped, but some water droplets are still dripping from the trees.

The courtyard was washed clean, the dark clouds in the sky had disappeared, and the sun was about to peek out.

Just as Yao Shula reached the door of the main room, she saw Yao Shuli holding a feather duster in one hand and pulling Xiao Tiantian along with the other.

"Big sister, please beat us up again! This time I definitely won't run away."

"You can hit me however you want!" Yao Shuli said pitifully.

"Yes, big sister, we were wrong! You can hit us however you want!" Little Tiantian also looked at Yao Shula cautiously.

Yao Shula was stunned. What was going on?

Is this a quick self-reflection? No way! Is this another instance of feigning weakness to gain advantage?

Seeing that Yao Shula was not speaking, Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian both thought that Yao Shula was sad.

The eldest sister stayed in the kitchen for so long without coming out, probably because she was afraid they would see her red eyes.

"Big sister, really, hit us! We really won't dodge anymore!" Yao Shuli desperately stuffed the feather duster into Yao Shula's hands.

Yao Shula sighed and walked directly to the octagonal table to sit down.

"You two come here, I'll have a good talk with you!" Yao Shula gestured for the two of them to stand over.

Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian quickly stood in line.

Yao Shuxin also stood next to Yao Shula.

"Those junks were collected by Grandpa Wang over many days. Why did he collect junks? It wasn't because he liked collecting junks!"

Instead, he wanted to collect some scraps to sell for money, and then use that money to buy food for the two children he was raising.

If he didn't collect scraps, he would live a very frugal life, and might not even have enough to eat.

He also broke one of his legs. Have you ever thought about how long it would take him to collect all that junk while dragging that prosthetic leg?

What you see as junk may seem insignificant, but to Grandpa Wang, it represents his hope of providing his two children with a meal of meat.

What did Grandpa Wang do wrong? Why do you call him "Wang the Trash" and ruin his shed where he keeps his trash, letting the heavy rain soak all the trash?

To be honest, after I had a falling out with Yao Guohua, I thought about how I would live my life from then on.

My sister thought that if she ran out of money, she would secretly collect and sell scraps.

In your eyes, will my sister also be called "Yao the Trash" and will the things she picked up be ridiculed by you?

"They've already had a hard time, is it appropriate for you to bully them?" Yao Shula looked calmly at Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian.

With each sentence Yao Shula spoke, Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian lowered their heads a little more.

After Yao Shula finished speaking, both Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian's eyes turned red.

"Big sister, we were wrong!" the two said at the same time.

Yao Shula waved her hand, not caring whether the two of them really knew they were wrong.

"Now that the rain has stopped, you two can go and check on Grandpa Wang."

Your actions today have caused Grandpa Wang a great deal of trouble.

Only when you see it with your own eyes will you know whether you did something wrong or not.

"Being a good child isn't just about having sweet words!" Yao Shula said earnestly.

Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian both nodded.

Just as Yao Shuli was leading Xiao Tiantian toward Grandpa Wang's house, Xiao Tiantian suddenly stopped at the door.

Yao Shula raised an eyebrow.

Is this kid thinking of changing into a pair of rain boots before going over to take a look?

Xiao Tian carefully moved in front of Yao Shula, and after thinking for a while, he finally mustered up the courage to look at Yao Shula.

Yao Shula noticed that Xiao Tiantian's eyes were red.

He first carefully tugged at Yao Shula's clothes, and then spoke with a somewhat aggrieved tone.

"Big sister, even though you hit me today, I still love you the most!"

Yao Shula...

Yao Shula, who was initially a little angry, suddenly stopped being angry at all.

She quickly pulled Xiaotian into her arms.

"I didn't really want to hit you, it's just that you made a mistake and I was so angry that I hit you."

"Big sister still likes Tiantian the most!" Yao Shula quickly comforted little Tiantian.

Xiao Tiantian buried her head in Yao Shula's shoulder and rubbed against her for a while before leaving.

"Sister, we really know we were wrong! We'll go check on Grandpa Wang's dilapidated house right now!"

Watching Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian walk away hand in hand, Yao Shula suddenly had a feeling.

How could I have been so heartless as to lay a hand on Xiaotian just now...?
