Chapter 160 Teaching a Man to Fish

Yao Shula was a little surprised.

What did those two kids just say? They want to teach Grandpa Wang how to make money without collecting trash, which means they want to teach him how to do business?

She had originally thought that the two children would be moved after seeing the situation at Grandpa Wang's house.

But the only thing these two kids could think of was paying compensation to the other party.

Anyway, these two have already made money selling popsicles, so making them lose some money will teach them a lesson.

But now these two are actually saying they want to teach people how to do business and make money.

"How did you come up with this?" Yao Shula asked, looking at the two of them.

“We’ve been saying this for a long time, but Grandpa Wang definitely won’t accept the money we offer. So let’s think of some other way.”

Grandpa Wang's legs aren't good anymore, and it's not feasible for him to collect scraps every day. He should think of some other ways to make a living!

"We can make money selling popsicles, so we can definitely make money selling other things too," Yao Shuli said immediately.

Yao Shula didn't speak, and looked at Xiao Tiantian again.

When Xiao Tiantian saw Yao Shula looking at him, he suddenly became a little nervous.

He made a mistake today. Will his older sister really stop liking him...?

"Big sister, Grandpa once told me that it's better to give someone a fishing rod and net than a fish... This is called..." Little Tiantian couldn't remember what the saying was for a moment, so he immediately looked for help from Yao Shuxin, who was the best student in the family.

“That’s called teaching someone how to fish rather than giving them a fish!” Yao Shuxin immediately added.

Little Tiantian nodded quickly.

"Yes! That's exactly what I mean! If we do something wrong, we definitely have to admit our mistake, apologize, and make compensation."

If you only give Grandpa Wang the money for the junk, he might not accept it.

Even if they accept it, Grandpa Wang will still go back to collecting scraps!

Instead, let's think of some other long-term solutions; that would show our sincerity in apologizing!

"Big sister, am I wrong?" Xiao Tiantian looked at Yao Shula cautiously.

Yao Shula patted Xiao Tiantian's head, feeling very happy.

It seems my parenting has been very successful; these two children are now able to think about things on a deeper level.

"Well said! Then you should teach them properly."

A good child admits their mistakes and corrects them! No one is perfect. Making amends and apologizing promptly is always better than stubbornly refusing to admit it.

"Alright, let's eat! The noodles will get soggy if we don't eat soon."

As Yao Shula spoke, she pulled one of the children in each hand and sat them down at the dining table.

She put a large spoonful of shredded chives and pork into both Xiaotian's and Yao Shuli's bowls, and even helped Xiaotian mix it up.

Little Tiantian immediately took it happily, and with her eyes sparkling with hearts, she sweetly said to Yao Shula, "Thank you, Big Sister, you're the best!"

Then the whole family sat around the table to eat.

Because of the hot weather, Yao Shula rinsed the noodles with cold boiled water after taking them out of the water, so no one ate them while sweating profusely.

While eating, Xiao Tiantian quietly moved closer to Yao Shula.

Only when he was next to Yao Shula did he grin at her and then continue shoveling noodles into his mouth.

Yao Shula smiled and then put a piece of shredded pork and chives on Xiaotian and Yao Shuli's plates.

The two of them immediately smiled at Yao Shula.

"Thank you, big sister!"

Xiao Tiantian also served Yao Shula and Yao Shuxin shredded pork with chives.

"Big sister and second sister, eat too! Eat more! Big sister, I'm not a bad kid, am I!"

"No! If a child admits their mistakes and corrects them, and doesn't bully the weak, then they're not a bad child!"

"Will my older sister still like me?"

"Of course I love it! Our Tian Tian is so cute, so sensible, and knows how to correct her mistakes. How could I not love her?"

Little Tian happily ate all the noodles in her bowl.

...

After cleaning up the dishes, Yao Shula and Yao Shuxin washed the clothes the children had changed out of. After watching the two children go into their rooms, Yao Shula and Yao Shuxin also went back to their rooms.

"Sister, Shuli and Tiantian... why don't you ask them more questions!"

"After all, they are two children!" Yao Shuxin was still a little worried.

Yao Shula shook her head.

"Children have their own way of dealing with problems, and it's already good that the two of them came up with this idea."

Adults should not get involved.

"They... definitely have their own ideas, Shuxin. Don't overthink it. They're both good kids, they'll definitely come up with some good ideas," Yao Shula said with a smile.

Yao Shuxin nodded in agreement when she heard Yao Shula say that.

My eldest sister is the smartest person in the family, so what she said must be true.

Yao Shuxin continued to read diligently. She wanted to study hard so that she could go to university in the future, which would make her older sister even happier.

...

Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

"Brother Shuli, Big Sister said she'll still like me!" Little Tiantian was still a little excited.

Yao Shuli glanced at Xiao Tiantian.

"If I didn't like you, I would have sent you back long ago. Why would I take care of you every day?"

Xiao Tiantian chuckled again.

He rolled over in bed and accidentally kicked the mosquito net open.

Yao Shuli quickly put the mosquito net back under the mat.

"Behave yourself! If mosquitoes get in, you'll be covered in bites again tonight."

Xiao Tiantian chuckled and moved further into the bed.

"Brother Shuli, how are we going to talk to Grandpa Wang's two kids tomorrow?"

"Just say what you want to say! We're sincere, whether they listen or not is their business."

Although we didn't give Grandpa Wang his nickname, we started calling him that, so it's definitely wrong of us.

"From now on, we won't call people by nicknames anymore," Yao Shuli said earnestly.

Xiao Tiantian nodded seriously.

"Yes! Not only can the two of us not call them that, but we can't let the children here call them that either."

"We must start with ourselves when it comes to small things!" Xiao Tiantian said very seriously.

Yao Shuli nodded. Tian Tian was right. Small things should start with oneself.

"Then let's call Grandpa Wang's two grandsons over tomorrow after we sell all the popsicles!"

"Okay! Let's do it this way!"

...

The next day, around 3 p.m., Xiaotian and Yao Shuli left ten popsicles unsold.

They shared some with some of the children around them, and when only two popsicles were left in the box, Xiao Wei, who had always followed them around, ran over with a popsicle in his hand.

"Shuli, Tiantian, Wang Po... I've brought Grandpa Wang's two grandsons to you."

Xiao Wei cautiously watched Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian. Luckily, he reacted quickly and didn't dare call out to Wang Polan...

Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian treated everyone to popsicles on the condition that they no longer call Wang Polan.

Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian immediately looked at the two older children who had come with Xiao Wei.

Fourteen-year-old Wang Changsheng, ten-year-old Wang Biying!
