Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 388 When outsiders come to our door, we will still unite to fight them.

Cai Shitou was taken away by Liu Zi to clean the mud off his body.

Lin Chang'er sat in the flower hall with Yudian in her arms, while the little ones who had thrown mud balls stood in a row in front of her.

The little ones thought that the scoundrel had thrown a torch at their aunt's house, and even though their aunt had let him off the hook, he still wouldn't leave and wanted to come back to cause trouble. They thought he was really awful.

So they didn't know what they had done wrong, and their eyes were full of confusion.

Especially Xiao Bao, who was only two years old. He didn't hate the torch thrower that much. He even stepped on the torch thrower's foot to avenge his aunt!

He simply does whatever his brothers do.

Lin Chang'er patted Yu Dian'er's back and said gently, "Auntie knows that you want to help Auntie vent her anger, but this way of venting is wrong."

"Among our compatriots, we should still uphold the principle of valuing harmony, rather than resorting to violence to suppress violence."

"So, what you just did, how is it any different from what they did this morning when they threw torches at Aunt's house?"

The little ones, who had been hanging their heads, looked at Lin Chang'er with their eyes after hearing this, and then looked around at their friends.

Lin Chang'er shook her head. "Raise your heads, everyone."

Upon hearing this, the little ones immediately perked up their heads.

Lin Chang'er continued, "Aren't we all tough boys? When dealing with the pirates, Auntie will definitely support you in resisting them with all your might, and even when we have the ability, we will take the initiative to attack and drive them back to where they belong. Why is that?"

Lin Chang'er blinked and looked at the little ones.

The little ones looked at each other, but no one said a word.

Lin Chang'er pursed her lips, not disappointed. After all, these little guys who participated in the provocation were all too young, and most of them had not heard of the atrocities committed by the pirates in Xiaonan Village.

She turned to look at Lin Yanqing, Gu Silang, and Zhou Li, the three older children.

Lin Yanqing was taken aback, but quickly chimed in, "Because they want to destroy our homeland."

Gu Silang followed, "They're even bullying our own people."

Zhou Li added, "They even stole our things."

Lin Chang'er nodded, thinking it was about time, and was about to speak when she saw the little goldfish raise its little arm.

Lin Chang'er smiled at him, and the little goldfish spoke in a childish voice, "They not only robbed on land, but also at sea. Guo Dabao's father was killed by the pirates. Before that, the pirates also slaughtered a small fishing village in the south."

"Their actions were so cruel, they were worse than pigs and dogs."

“If we don’t resist, we can only let them slaughter us. That’s why we have to be fiercer than them and drive them out.”

"But Caijia Village is not our enemy; the conflicts and contradictions are temporary. Who knows, in the future, we might even fight the pirates together again, just like, just like..."

The little goldfish scratched its head, as if it had forgotten for a moment.

"Like what?" Lin Chang'er smiled at him, then glanced at Gu Xiaoman, before turning her gaze outside.

Seeing her mother's somewhat unexpected action, the little goldfish had a sudden inspiration and said, "It's like when two brothers quarrel, they fight each other, but when an outsider comes knocking, they still unite to fight the outsider."

“That’s right!” Lin Chang’er hugged Yu Dian’er and clapped her hands gently. “Well said. We and Caijia Village are like brothers. It’s inevitable for two brothers to quarrel, but once the quarrel is over and things are cleared up, the matter will be over.”

Even saints make mistakes, let alone us mortals, right? We can't keep dwelling on one mistake; we need to look forward, right?

Although the little ones still seemed to understand but not quite, they all agreed and answered, "Yes!"

Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "Now that everyone has realized their mistakes, what should we do when we see someone later?"

The little ones blinked. Zhou Yi, the youngest and least burdened, with his little tuft of hair sticking up, said in a childish voice, "I, I have to say sorry!"

Gu Xiaoman pouted, "I need to apologize to him."

The other children nodded in agreement.

Almost half of Cai Shitou's clothes were covered in mud. Liu Zi, who was about the same size as him, let him change into one of his own clothes.

Although it was only about 70-80% new, it was still newer than his original clothes.

Cai Shitou originally wanted to refuse, as it would indeed be impolite to meet people in those clothes. He still had to talk to Lin Da Dongjia later. After thanking him and agreeing to have the clothes washed and returned later, he quickly changed into them.

Even a grown man isn't that meticulous. After changing his clothes and washing his face, he hurriedly asked Liu Zi to take him to see Lin Chang'er.

They arrived quite quickly, so they overheard most of Lin Chang'er's conversation with the children.

Liu Zi stood behind the door, his face flushed red.

He prides himself on being a man, but all he knows is how to punish the wicked and fight, and he often has to clean up his messes for his mother and wife, just like today.

Even a little child knows that if you do something wrong, you should apologize, but he, a grown man, always stubbornly refused to bow his head.

It caused my mother and wife to have to humble themselves in front of others.

Thinking of this, Cai Shitou suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself.

He struck hard; with a sharp "smack," the children in the beggar's hall were all stunned.

Lin Chang'er also heard the sound, and following the sound, she saw Liu Zi and Cai Shitou.

Liu Zi nodded to her, and Lin Chang'er nodded secretly.

Liu Zi raised his hand, indicating that Cai Shitou could go in.

Cai Shitou stepped inside and heard Lin Chang'er ask, "Now, what should everyone do?"

A group of little pineapple-headed boys lined up and bowed to Cai Shitou in unison, saying, "We're sorry, we were wrong, please forgive us."

Cai Shitou had never seen anything like this before. He originally thought that at most the older children would just have to make a token gesture, but he didn't expect that they would all admit their mistakes.

He was stunned for a moment, then inexplicably felt his eyes burning, and his throat tightened, leaving him speechless.

The children waited for a while, but when he didn't say anything, they couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Among them, Zhou Yi, the youngest, and Gu Xiaoman were the most impatient.

Gu Xiaoman tilted her head back and asked him, "Why don't you just say it's good that you admit your mistake?"

Seeing that his brother had spoken, Zhou Yi turned to him and said, "Brother, when will it be over? Xiao Bao can't hold on much longer."

Upon hearing this, Cai Shitou finally came to his senses and said, "It's good that you know you were wrong!"

The children immediately straightened up and turned to Lin Chang'er, revealing big, smiling faces.

Only Zhou Yi, a tiny bundle, was wriggling around. Judging from his appearance, Lin Chang'er knew that the little guy needed to pee.

He glanced at Lin Yanqing and said, "Yanqing, take Xiaobao to the outhouse."

"Okay, sister!" Lin Yanqing walked over and picked up the little bundle and carried it out.

Lin Chang'er then looked at the group of children, "Alright, go wash your hands with Si Lang and Li Ge'er, and come back for snacks after you've washed your hands."

Gu Silang and Zhou Li waved their hands, "Let's go, go wash your hands."

The little ones chattered excitedly and followed them outside.

In the flower hall, only Lin Chang'er, Liu Zi, Cai Shitou, and Yu Dian'er in Lin Chang'er's arms remained.

Lin Chang'er raised her hand, "Sit down and let's talk!"

Cai Shitou was startled, his eyes welling up with tears. He looked at Lin Chang'er, took a deep breath, and knelt down in front of her with a thud...
