Da Bao raised his small head and said with great pride. He was a little greedy, but that didn't mean he had a problem with his brain.
He naturally wouldn't accept food from strangers, nor would he foolishly follow them. His mother really underestimated him by telling him so.
"You must remember this. Your mother isn't joking with you. Do you know that if you follow someone else, they'll beat you, bully you, break your legs, and abandon you on the street to beg?"
She couldn't help but recall the tragic experiences of abducted children reported on the news. Although this was ancient times, child abduction still existed.
Feng Jin became even more worried, pulling Da Bao's hand and issuing a stern warning.
"I understand, Mother. Don't worry."
Da Bao's ears were starting to hurt from his mother's nagging, so he could only say with a sigh. He wasn't having an easy time, having to comfort his mother at such a young age.
"Don't worry, Mother. I won't be stolen."
He was so smart; how could those trivial tricks easily fool him?
He just felt his mother was worrying too much. This was something that could never happen.
Feng Jin looked at Da Bao's nonchalant demeanor and knew that Da Bao hadn't taken her words to heart at all. He surely still thought she was talking nonsense and deliberately trying to scare him for fun.
It was because Da Bao was too young to understand the dangers of the outside world. It was indeed too difficult to make him accept these things at such a tender age.
She could only try her best, watch Da Bao more closely, and keep a tighter watch. As time passed and he grew older, he would naturally understand these things.
"Mother, is my juice ready?"
Da Bao's mind was solely on the juice. He had been looking forward to it for a long time, but his mother hadn't given it to him, making him anxious to death.
"It's ready now. You greedy little thing, you only think about eating." Feng Jin helplessly held her forehead. How did she end up with such a gluttonous son?
"You go and call your brother first. You must learn to share good things. Hurry up."
Children needed to be educated from a young age. If they were selfish and didn't share when they were young, they would only become more extreme when they grew up.
Therefore, she had always been very dedicated to the education of Da Bao and Er Bao, without the slightest negligence.
"I'll go call my brother now. Mother, you have to save some for me."
Da Bao made an uneasy request before jumping off the chair and rushing out.
He ran so fast that he disappeared in a flash, and Feng Jin worried he would fall.
"Run slower, don't fall!"
She shouted towards the direction where his figure had disappeared. She didn't know if Da Bao had heard her.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the closed room door was pushed open from the outside, and Da Bao dragged the somewhat disheveled Er Bao in.
Hearing the commotion, Feng Jin lifted her eyelids and saw the two children's disheveled state. If one didn't know, they would think they had escaped a famine.
Both children were covered in dirt. Er Bao had a few strands of hair sticking to his forehead, and a piece of Da Bao's clothes had been torn off at some point.
The two of them looked extremely disheveled. It was clear at a glance that they had been in a big fight just now.
"What happened to you two?"
Feng Jin suppressed her impatience and asked in a gentle tone. She was trying her best to control her temper and not scare the children.
She believed that anyone who saw their children in such a state would be furious.
"Mother, my brother fought with someone, and I went to break it up..."
Da Bao's soft voice rang out, explaining first with an innocent expression that made it hard not to believe him.
"Mother, it was Brother who fought..."
Er Bao retorted immediately, unwilling to concede. This had nothing to do with him. It was clearly Da Bao who fought, so why was it him?
Fighting... Feng Jin's expression suddenly changed. How old were these two, and they were already fighting with people?
Judging by their appearance, they had clearly not gained any advantage. She just didn't know who they had fought with.
Feng Jin pulled over a chair and sat opposite the two children. Her expression gradually became serious as she examined them. After a pause, she asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, who did you two fight with, and why?"
No matter who started it, they were both involved, and neither was innocent.
"Mother..."
"You shut up, let Er Bao speak."
As Da Bao was about to explain, Feng Jin directly ordered him to be quiet. She knew Da Bao too well and knew what kind of person he was, so she didn't expect him to say anything useful.
"Mother, it was another child who snatched my toy, and I went to get it back... and then we started fighting. They were older and taller than us..."
If it weren't for the fact that he and Da Bao were too young, and the other party was much taller and had one more person than them, they wouldn't have ended up like this.
After some questioning, Feng Jin finally understood what had happened. She was truly amazed by these two children. Knowing that the other party had more people and was much taller than them, they still insisted on fighting with them. This was clearly asking for trouble.
"Did you two fall into a pit to get like this?"
Ling Mohan had just returned from court and hadn't changed out of his court attire. Seeing Da Bao and Er Bao covered in dirt as if they had fallen into a pit, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Your good son got into a fight with someone and ended up like this. You discipline them yourself; I can't manage them anymore."
She was truly powerless. Wasn't it said that a child's misbehavior was the father's fault? So today, she would let Ling Mohan, the father, discipline these two brats properly.
After Feng Jin left, Ling Mohan's gaze fell on the two children.
Da Bao and Er Bao felt a little guilty under his gaze and lowered their heads in unison, not daring to meet his eyes.
"Truly useless. You got into a fight and didn't gain any advantage. Don't say you're my sons when you go out. You two are embarrassing."
Ling Mohan didn't have much of an opinion about children fighting; it was normal for boys to bicker. However, he felt that Da Bao and Er Bao losing the fight was very disgraceful and embarrassing.
