Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Life Education

Animals hunt prey for food and survival.

Humans consciously eliminate pests for their own benefit as well.

But when looking at the entire world, creatures that kill other lives purely out of boredom and for fun—aside from humans, it seems like the only ones left are cute little beings like cats.

These thoughts crossed her mind.

Tang Yuxin poured the water from her cup onto the nearby flowerbed and gently said:

"Da Bao, Er Bao, Sanbao, you mustn’t do this kind of thing, understand?"

"Huh...?"

The three little ones looked utterly puzzled, with a row of question marks practically floating above their heads.

Tang Yuxin couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight.

She remembered her own childhood, knowing nothing and catching an ant to play with, only to end up squashing it to death.

Her grandmother, who saw the scene, gave little Tang Yuxin a smack and scolded her sternly, "That’s a life too."

Of course, Tang Yuxin wouldn’t treat her kids the same way her grandmother had treated her back then, smacking them out of the blue.

Instead, she gently patted the little ones’ heads and patiently explained, "Ants, just like you, have dads and moms, brothers and sisters. They have families too."

"Look, they’ve worked hard to build a home here for themselves."

"Every day, ants go out, working tirelessly to find food and bring it back for their families so they don’t go hungry."

"Just like how Mom and Dad work to earn money..."

As she said this, Tang Yuxin’s cheeks flushed slightly.

After all, Xiao Fei rarely worked, though the money he had earned could last them ten lifetimes.

"Ahem, just like how Mom and Dad work to earn money, so you little ones can have food to eat and clothes to wear."

At this point, Tang Yuxin pointed to the ant nest.

"Da Bao, if you pour water in there, the home the ants worked so hard to build will be destroyed."

"And lots and lots of ants would die."

"The ones left behind would be so, so sad."

"Without their moms and dads, brothers and sisters, they’d feel heartbroken."

Of course, Tang Yuxin didn’t know if ants really had such advanced emotions.

But that didn’t stop her from teaching her kids this way.

Hearing Mom’s words, the three little ones exchanged glances, half-understanding and half-confused.

Seeing this,

Tang Yuxin added, "Babies, if someday, Mom and Dad were to suddenly pass away and couldn’t stay with you anymore, would you feel sad?"

The three little ones instantly became teary-eyed, as though they could really imagine life without Mom and Dad.

They rushed over and clung to her. Er Bao, voice quivering, said, "I don’t want Mom to die, and I don’t want Dad to die either..."

"Mmph... Mommy..."

Tang Yuxin held her three children close and softly said, "Exactly, just like how you want Mom and Dad to always be with you, the ants feel the same way."

"Not just ants, even little butterflies, little bugs—they all feel that way too."

"So, you absolutely mustn’t bully them, okay?"

This time, the little ones finally nodded.

"Mommy... I’m sorry... I was wrong."

Da Bao hung his head in guilt, seriously apologizing to Tang Yuxin.

Looking at Da Bao, Tang Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief.

Earlier, when she’d been explaining all that, she was so worried Da Bao might stubbornly counter with something like, "Then why do we still eat little chickens, bunnies, and fishies?"

If that had happened, Tang Yuxin wouldn’t have known how to respond.

Just then, Xiao Fei suddenly appeared in the yard.

"What are you all up to?"

"Hubby~"

Tang Yuxin stood up, walked over to Xiao Fei, and softly explained what had just happened.

"Oh, I see..."

Xiao Fei laughed.

"I did stuff like that when I was a kid too. My dad gave me a good smack for it back then."

"Your dad... was that strict?"

"What about it?"

Xiao Fei raised an eyebrow. "Have I ever told you how many times I got beaten as a kid?"

Tang Yuxin’s curiosity was piqued, and she pestered Xiao Fei, asking for all the details about why Xiao Jun had punished him.

"Oh, too many reasons."

Xiao Fei thought back to his childhood.

"Like, when we were still living in the village, I once played with fire during the holidays with my friends and accidentally burned down someone’s thatched hut..."

Tang Yuxin:

"Or like kicking a soccer ball and accidentally hitting someone’s front door. Then, when some old lady confiscated the ball, I went and pulled up all the vegetables she’d painstakingly grown in her field..."

"Wow! Hubby, I can’t believe you did such terrible things!"

"Looking back now, yeah, it was really awful."

Xiao Fei felt a bit embarrassed. "My dad really gave it to me back then."

"Daddy, Daddy... what are you talking about?"

At this moment, the three little ones ran over.

Tang Yuxin immediately grinned and said, "We’re talking about how your daddy used to get spanked by grandpa when he was little."

"Spanked?"

At the mention of spanking, the little ones reflexively covered their tiny bottoms.

They had never been spanked their whole lives, always cherished and carefully protected.

"Why did Grandpa spank Daddy’s butt?"

Da Bao asked eagerly.

"Because Daddy made mistakes, of course."

Xiao Fei didn’t deny it. Instead, he suddenly made a stern face and said to the little ones:

"So you must listen and behave, okay?"

"Otherwise..."

Xiao Fei deliberately stretched his words, "Daddy will spank your little butts too!"

Er Bao pouted and unexpectedly said, "Daddy, if you spank my butt, I’ll tell Grandpa to spank your butt!"

Xiao Fei: "...???"

Well, well.

So young, and already knows how to fire back with a threat!!

Even knowing to bring Grandpa into it to keep Dad in line.

This little rascal’s reaction speed was impressive.

There’s truth to the saying—newer brains work better.

"Hahaha, hubby, you..."

Tang Yuxin was momentarily stunned, then burst out laughing.

But before she could laugh for long, Er Bao spoke again.

"Mommy too! If you spank my butt, I’ll tell Daddy to spank your butt!"

"Hmm, not a bad suggestion!"

Xiao Fei immediately gave Er Bao a thumbs-up.

"Er Bao, if Mommy bullies you in the future, just tell Daddy. Daddy will spank Mommy’s butt hard."

By the time he said the last part, Xiao Fei’s tone had shifted slightly.

Tang Yuxin naturally understood the subtext.

Her cheeks flushed bright red, and she shot Xiao Fei a big glare.

Hubby was being inappropriate again!

And right in front of the kids!
