Chapter 868: Wise teachings ——2
"That's right Mai, do you still remember the fight that you had with Ah Feng? What if your sister interrupted the fight and then forcefully asked you to apologize to Chu Feng?" Ye Liu asked as he reminded Yu Mai of the small quarrel that he had with Chu Feng who was Chu Cheng's son. A few weeks ago, Yu Dong made a bamboo helicopter for Yu Mai to play with and the little mer who was so excited upon receiving a new toy immediately went looking for the two Mu siblings and showed them the new toy which was given to him by Yu Dong.
But in the end, that bamboo helicopter was not only broken it was crushed to the point in the hands of Chu Feng that Yu Mai refused to acknowledge the latter as his friend again. It was only when Chu Cheng made a replica of the original toy and sent Chu Feng to apologise did Yu Mai generously forgive Chu Feng.
Yu Mai puffed his cheeks and then said angrily, " But Mai was not wrong! Why should he apologise?"
" Why not?" Seeing that her husbands were teaching Yu Mai, Yu Dong decided to play along with them. "If I sent you to apologise to Chu Feng then the fight would have been solved much sooner and no one would have been troubled that way even Uncle Chu didn't have to make two bamboo toys when he is carrying a child."
" But…But …" Yu Mai was so angry and flustered that his eyes turned red, he was the one who fought with Chu Feng and this was his fight why should his sister tell him what to do?
The more he thought the angrier he became in the end, Yu Mai said in an angry voice, " Why … it is my fight, I don't want to forgive Chu Feng then I will not forgive him. Why should I forgive …ju..just because sister said so!"
When Shen Li and the rest heard Yu Mai's response they grinned but did not show it on their faces instead Shen Li patted Yu Mai on the back when he saw that the latter was huffing so badly that he was choking on air.
"That's right, it was Mai's fight which is why sister cannot interrupt just like this the fight with the big stone village is sister's fight and Mai can't intervene, understand?" Shen Li told Yu Mai who was hiccuping while clutching his robe which he was wearing. It took Yu Mai a long time before he nodded his head in understanding and no longer made a fuss only then did Shen Li say in a calm voice,
"Now that you know that you were wrong what do you need to do ?"
" Ma…Mai need to apologise to his sister and brothers in law," Yu Mai was not an unreasonable child, as long as his small mind understood that he was in wrong and what he did was a punishable offence he would not make trouble which was why he agreed to apologise to Chen Mi and Fang Chi along with Yu Dong.
" There is no need to apologise," Fang Chi waved his hand as he patted his son on the back, now that his son was in his arms, Fang Chi felt like the weight he was carrying on his back was all gone. He smiled at Yu Mai and then ruffled his hair, " You did wrong but as long as you understand that you were wrong and willing to admit your mistake, there is nothing to be sorry about."
Yu Mai nodded as he turned to look at Chen Mi and bowed his head again but he was stopped by Chen Mi who sighed and then smiled at the young mer, " Don't say sorry, its the fault of adults as well that they could not stop you from running out. But of course, you were in the wrong too, from now on don't run amok as you wish…you are a good uncle Mai, and bun bun obviously likes you a lot so take care of yourself properly all right? Bun bun will get angry if something happens to his favourite uncle."
" I will take care of myself better, brother Mi," Yu Mai agreed and he then turned to Yu Dong who was crouching down on the floor and then trotted towards his sister as he spoke in a soft voice, " S..sister are you angry?"
Yu Dong sighed and then took Yu Mai's hands in hers and then fished out a handkerchief as she placed it on Yu Mai's nose and said, " Blow."
Without a second of hesitation, Yu Mai blew his nose into the handkerchief and then looked at his sister who without any disdain threw the handkerchief to the side and then turned to look at him.
" I am not angry that you tried to save Doctor Gu, your brother-in-law is right. What you did was commendable as it needs a lot of courage but Mai, I am angry because you put yourself in danger." Yu Dong picked Yu Mai up from the ground and then patted him on the back as she continued to pace in the room. " The village might not be in its best situation but that does not mean that we need children to protect us, all right? We can still take care of this matter and handle the situation accordingly."
" A child is supposed to eat, sleep and learn. Other than growing up well and staying healthy, there is nothing else that matters, all right?"
She told her little brother who nodded and only then did she turn to look at the three extra children with the fourth lying on the couch and asked Shen Li, " Now that we are done with this matter, can you tell me who they are and why did have you brought them to our house?"
Yu Dong had nothing against these children but her instincts were telling her that these kids will bring a lot of trouble for her.
