Chapter 1138: Chapter 1140 Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Nan Feng also set down his chopsticks, taking the matter of family education very seriously, "Your mother is right. We are all villagers from the same place. Regardless of gender or age, and no matter whose relatives they are, we should help each other and must never bully the younger or the weaker, right?"

Axian nodded solemnly, and Xia Dabao also nodded. She knew that her parents never made promises lightly and would always keep their word once given.

...

Nan Feng did not treat Xia Dabao perfunctorily; in fact, she even specifically took Xia Dabao with her when going to see the village head, intending to teach Xia Dabao how to handle affairs in the village and how to effectively communicate with the villagers. In educating her children, Nan Feng had never slackened, always eager to impart everything she knew to them.

Xia Dabao followed Nan Feng to the village head’s house. When they went, Nan Feng also gave the village head two strips of dried fish from their home, which made the village head treat them even more kindly and amicably.

But Nan Feng’s demeanor was not one of ingratiating herself; she gave the dried fish generously and casually, as if it were a mere trifle, even claiming it was "more than we could eat at home." This actually made the village head feel like he was doing Nan Feng a favor by accepting it.

Nan Feng first discussed her own field with the village head, mentioning that she was planning to expand her potato farm. If there were any idle lands in the village, Nan Feng would be willing to rent or buy them. Since the land was allocated to each household, any rental or sale would have to go through the village head, so she wanted to discuss the matter with him.

After discussing the main issue, Nan Feng casually brought up Tian Xiaobei’s situation, but it took many detours before she finally turned the conversation toward Tian Xiaobei. "Speaking of relatives, didn’t Auntie Zhao Er also have a relative visiting? I heard it’s a boy. I didn’t know about it, but since our houses are close, I’ve heard Auntie Zhao scolding the boy loudly these past mornings. I’m not sure if the boy is genuinely lazy or pretending."

"Whether he is lazy or not, I wouldn’t know," said the village head, "but Auntie Zhao has always been a nitpicker. With an extra mouth to feed, she’s definitely not happy. By the way, I heard she went down to the town yesterday to pawn a jade pendant, probably brought by that boy."

Nan Feng smiled. "I wouldn’t know about that. We’ve been busy in Lychee Forest these days, dealing with things there. But I always hear the child being reprimanded, and it doesn’t feel right. The kid is at an age where he’s growing, and if this keeps up, there’s bound to be trouble sooner or later."

The village head agreed with Nan Feng’s perspective, "That’s true. When I get the chance, I’ll inquire further. If the situation is indeed that bad, I’ll have to speak with Auntie Zhao."

Seeing that she had achieved her desired effect, Nan Feng did not linger longer, "It’s getting late, and I still have matters to attend to in Lychee Forest, so I’ll be leaving now. Goodbye, village head."

...

In Lychee Forest.

These days were for smoking out insects, and Xia Dabao and Axian also went to help, the family of four chatting and laughing. Though they were working, they were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

"Sister, did mom talk to the village head about Brother Xiaobei?" Axian asked Xia Dabao.

Xia Dabao nodded, "She did. When has our mom ever lied to us, right?"

Unsatisfied, Axian asked further, "Then after telling the village head, will Brother Xiaobei still be bullied?"

While arranging the Burns Insect Grass, Xia Dabao replied, "That I don’t know. It depends on what kind of attitude Tian Xiaobei has. If he’s meek and resigned to being bullied, there’s nothing that can be done. After all, everyone picks on the weaker ones, right?"
