Chapter 1978 The Difficulty of Education
In Caibao's view, if you didn't notice the incident after so long, that's your problem. Why are you still trying to hold her accountable?
Shen Xi almost burst out laughing at how clear-headed the child was even while being hit.
Chen Chuan, with a cold face, gave her another smack on the bottom: "Didn't your father teach you not to rummage through our drawers?"
"But you said it yourself, everything you have will be mine in the future, so what's wrong with me taking a look beforehand? It's mine! Mine!!"
"Very well," Chen Chuan sneered, turning his daughter up into a sitting position: "From now on, she won't belong to you alone."
With tears streaming down her face, Caibao looked at her father with a pitiful expression and asked, "What...what does that mean..."
"Because of the bad things you did, your mother is pregnant."
Caibao was taken aback, blinked her big eyes, looked at her father innocently, and shook her head: "I didn't understand."
Chen Chuan felt no shame about sex education, nor did he have any awareness of preventing his child from being exposed to such things because she was too young.
He told Caibao that the little box was something that could prevent his mother from getting pregnant and having a baby, but because she punctured it, the box was no longer useful. His mother got pregnant, and she would have younger brothers and sisters in the future.
Caibao stared wide-eyed at Shen Xi's belly. "Mommy, are you pregnant?"
Shen Xi tried hard to suppress her laughter and nodded seriously: "Yes, that's right."
"Because I made small boxes, I let my younger siblings in?"
Shen Xi paused for a moment, then realized that this understanding was not wrong.
"Yes, sweetie."
Caibao looked up at her father: "Really? I did it?"
Chen Chuan said coldly, "Yes, you did it."
Caibao burst out laughing: "Wow, I'm so capable! I got my mom to have a baby for me."
"Pfft!" Shen Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Chen Chuan: ...
You are so capable! With your comprehension skills, you'll never experience feelings of inferiority or self-blame in your life.
Caibao was insisting on getting out of bed, how could Chen Chuan let her continue like this?
The purpose of education has not yet been achieved.
He grabbed her and said, "Do you know you're wrong?"
Caibao didn't understand and asked his father, "Mommy has a baby, that's a good thing, what's wrong with that?"
Chen Chuan: …………
When her friends got pregnant and gave birth, Caibao went with them. People said that having a baby is a good thing, and she heard that and remembered it. She's waiting for him here.
Chen Chuan told her, "It's wrong of you to secretly break your parents' things without telling us."
Oh, you mean this?
"I had so many things stuck in my head, and you didn't say anything, so I didn't know."
Forget about things, if she wanted to stab her parents, wouldn't they obediently extend their hands to be stabbed?
They can get pierced, so of course they can get pierced with other things too.
You know what, you really have to admit, Sister Caibao's logic is actually sound.
For the first time, Attorney Chen felt that having a sharp-tongued daughter and raising her to be so eloquent and logical was perhaps a case of shooting himself in the foot.
Hey……
"But Dad locked it." Chen Chuan looked at her. "Dad taught you that locked things are things you can't touch. Why did you secretly unlock it?"
Caibao honestly replied, "I've learned it and want to try it out. How can I try it without finding a lock?"
Wow! What a powerful reason.
Shen Xi wanted to say, "Forget it, stop arguing. The child is too talkative; you can't win an argument with him. Anyway, she felt that she was no match for Caibao."
But Chen Chuan is not.
"You need to find something that's locked, but you have to tell Dad first. I'll give you my permission before you can try, right?"
"Why didn't you tell Dad?"
"I'm afraid Dad won't agree." Caibao knows that she can't touch anything locked in the house; she's quite sensible.
"You knew your father disagreed, but you still did it. Is that how a good child behaves?"
Caibao lowered his head and remained silent.
"Dad clearly taught you, but you knowingly did wrong, so shouldn't Dad hit you today?"
He lowered his head even further and remained silent.
The child is being stubborn and proud, unwilling to admit that he made a mistake.
Chen Chuan patted her head and said softly, "Caibao, Dad asked you before about whether you wanted a younger brother or sister, didn't he?"
"Ah."
"What was your answer then?"
I said I didn't know.
"Yes, you said you didn't know. At that time, Dad talked to you and we agreed that once you knew and wanted it, you could tell Mom and Dad, and we would make a decision together, right?"
"Ah."
“But now, our younger siblings have arrived ahead of schedule, and we didn’t know.” Chen Chuan looked at his daughter: “Your father and I always consult with you and respect your opinions when we do things, but you do things like this. Your father is very disappointed.”
"Waaah~~" Caibao burst into tears, throwing herself into her father's arms: "I was wrong, Daddy, I won't prick you like that again, Daddy, don't be disappointed, Daddy loves my sweet baby~~"
Chen Chuan's heart ached terribly, and he wished he could just let it go and pretend it had never happened.
Anyway, he and his wife had already discussed it and decided to accept this unexpected second child.
But no, that won't work.
You can't teach children like that. You can't just feel sorry for them and overlook their mistakes, letting bygones be bygones.
If that's the case, then all the beatings Caibao endured before were for nothing; she wouldn't even realize her mistake or learn a lesson.
So he hardened his heart.
"Your father taught you that if you make a mistake, you have to admit it and accept the punishment. Tell me yourself, what did you do wrong, and do you deserve to be punished?"
This time, Caibao admitted his mistake very quickly.
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have opened your locks without telling Mom and Dad, and I shouldn't have punctured that box, causing Mom to get pregnant. Waaah, Dad, don't be angry with me. I know I was wrong."
Shen Xi felt both heartache and amusement. What did she mean by causing her mother to have a baby? It sounded like she was the victim, so pitiful.
Chen Chuan continued, "If you realize you're wrong, what should you do?"
Caibao looked up at her father, tears streaming down her face. She looked so pitiful.
Chen Chuan's heart was truly aching.
"Dad, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I won't do it again."
"Ah."
She slid off her father's lap and onto her mother's legs, saying, "Mom, I'm sorry, I won't do it again."
Shen Xi tried to hold back, but she couldn't. The child looked so heartbreaking; she just couldn't bear it.
She reached out and hugged her daughter, wiping away her tears: "It's alright, sweetie, it's good that you know you were wrong, Mommy isn't angry."
"Waaaaah!" Caibao broke down, burying her face in her mother's lap and crying loudly, "I was wrong, Mom, don't be angry with me."
Who could stand this?
