After returning home, Hu Zi looked at Li Xi with shining eyes, which were full of dependence and trust.

After entering the yard, Li Xi let go of Hu Zi's hand, threw the machete aside, turned around, crossed his arms, and looked at Hu Zi expressionlessly.

Hu Zi didn't understand why his sister suddenly looked at him like that. He felt a little confused and a little scared.

This fear of being abandoned actually existed since Lady Liu left, but as Li Xi took him to the city, sent him to school, and took him out to eat every day, Hu Zi's uneasy heart was gradually calmed down.

But comfort does not mean disappearance, so he was very uneasy at the moment.

Li Xi looked at Hu Zi, who looked timid and pitiful with tears in his eyes, and sighed.

She waved at Hu Zi, and Hu Zi's eyes lit up. He trotted over to Li Xi and said, "Sister."

Li Xi could probably guess what Hu Zi was afraid of, and looking at his small body, she felt a little pain in her heart.

"Hu Zi, do you think you did the right thing today?" Li Xi looked at Hu Zi seriously. The child is still young, just like a young tree. He should be pruned and taught when necessary.

Hu Zi thought about what happened just now and lowered his head, "I shouldn't have pushed that bad mother-in-law just now."

"Hu Zi is very smart. He immediately realized what he did wrong," Li Xi knew how smart Hu Zi was. She never treated him as a child, but as a person equal to herself.

Li Xi has always believed that making mistakes is not terrible. After all, no one is perfect. As long as you have the courage to admit it and the determination to change, it will be fine.

This is what her grandfather taught her, and this is also what she taught Hu Zi.

Li Xi did not directly point out where Hu Zi was wrong, but instead patiently guided him and let him know where he was wrong.

"Why shouldn't Hu Zi push that bad mother-in-law?" Li Xi did not correct Hu Zi's way of addressing Old Lady He. She was indeed not a good person.

Hu Zi lowered his head and muttered, "If Hu Zi didn't push the bad mother-in-law, the bad mother-in-law wouldn't be able to deceive people."

If he hadn't pushed the bad mother-in-law, she wouldn't have fallen, and she wouldn't have wanted my sister to pay compensation. Fortunately, my sister saw through her bad intentions, otherwise they would have to compensate her.

"Yes and no."

Although Hu Zi is smart, he is still young and does not understand the darkness and twists and turns of human hearts.

In the feudal dynasty where people were eaten without leaving any bones, Li Xi never intended to hide the ugliness of human nature in front of him. After all, he would see more in the future.

Li Xi once heard a saying that she thought made a lot of sense: What you don't teach your children, society will teach them in the future.

Hu Zi looked up in confusion. Li Xi looked at Hu Zi's red eyes, rubbed his head, and held him in his arms while sitting on the recliner.

"I know that Hu Zi pushed the bad mother-in-law to protect my sister. My sister would like to thank Hu Zi first."

When Hu Zi heard this, he was so happy that he almost burst into bubbles.

"But," Li Xi changed the subject, "Hu Zi acted too impulsively today. There are more ways to solve the problem than just violence."

After hearing what she said, Hu Zi glanced at the machete thrown on the ground, then blinked at Li Xi.

Li Xi: “…”

Well, very good, not a word was said, but she understood.

"Ahem," Li Xi coughed lightly, "Force can defeat skill, and force naturally has a strong deterrent effect, but that also depends on the situation.

It should be based on one’s own reality and current situation.”

Li Xi looked at Hu Zi seriously, "Just like just now, if you were alone, you would definitely not be able to escape a beating."

Hu Zi felt a little disapproving in his heart. If his sister could hold a machete, so could he. They were not afraid of him, but they must be afraid of the machete.

Li Xi saw Hu Zi's disapproval and suddenly understood what it meant to teach by example. If she had known this, she would have avoided Hu Zi when she was wielding a knife before.

"Hu Zi, do you know why your sister can always scare off the bad guys with a machete?"

Hu Zi looked up curiously, "Because people are afraid of machetes."

The medium-sized axe is the most powerful weapon in Hu Zi's mind.

"Not really." Li Xi shook her head, "The most powerful thing in this world is never a weapon, but a person.

Because weapons are dead, but people are alive."

Li Xi's words were somewhat profound, and Hu Zi couldn't understand them very well.

"Machetes are something that everyone has. They are not rare. If you can scare bad guys away with a machete, then there will be no bad guys in the world, right?"

Hu Zi frowned. Yes, a machete is indeed not a rare thing.

"Then what are they afraid of?" Hu Zi was puzzled.

"They are afraid of their own fear, but the key to my sister's victory is fearlessness. Tiger, you must remember that no matter when or where, you must always be fearless."

Hu Zi nodded vigorously, "Yes, Hu Zi understands."

"Maybe Hu Zi thought his sister was awesome for scaring off the bad guys with a machete, but in fact she used violence to achieve her goal because she couldn't think of a better way.

Using violence is the lowest form of behavior, Huzi, do you understand?"

Although Li Xi felt that the machete was very useful, she did not intend to raise a violent brother. After all, it was enough for a family to have one violent person, so it was better to leave this good thing to her.

"Well, Huzi knows."

Although Hu Zi didn't quite understand the deeper meaning of Li Xi's words, he could hear that his sister hoped that he would not take action if he encountered any problems.

"Yeah." Li Xi smiled with relief, "Next time you encounter something like that, Hu Zi should first think about whether there are other ways to solve it. If it really can't be solved..."

Hu Zi tilted his head, "What if we can't solve it?"

"If we really can't solve the problem, then we'll resort to violence. We won't cause trouble, but we can't be afraid of it either. You still have my sister behind you."

"Yeah." Hu Zi nodded vigorously with a sour feeling in his nose.

After the education was over, Li Xi was just about to take Hu Zi into the room when she heard a knock on the door.

"dong dong dong"

Li Xi frowned. Who is this person in the middle of the night?

Hu Zi clenched Li Xi's hand and looked up, "Sister, could it be that the bad mother and son are back again?"

"It shouldn't be." The knocking sound was light and orderly, definitely not from the frightened mother and son.

Li Xi let go of Hu Zi's hand, walked to the door, and whispered, "Who is it!"

There was a pause in the knock on the door, and the person outside lowered his voice, "Hello, Miss Li, my name is Ren Xusheng, I am not a bad person, and I have no ill intentions..."

Li Xi curled her lips speechlessly when she heard this. Anyone who could say this didn't sound smart. Li Xi was sure that she didn't know the owner of the voice outside the door, but she could probably guess his intention.

Sure enough, the man's next words confirmed her guess.

"Gu Yin asked me to bring you something."

Thinking that the money would be deposited into his account soon, Li Xi's irritability caused by Old Lady He just now disappeared.

She opened the door and saw a tall but thin young man standing outside.

"Come in." Li Xi said and turned to walk into the yard.

Ren Xusheng felt that it was not right for a grown man like him to enter someone else's yard in the middle of the night. He thought that as soon as the door opened, he would just hand the bag to her and be done with it. He didn't expect that a little girl like her would actually invite him in.
