You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 173 Aren't you afraid of getting beaten to death?

Lu Mingdong angrily swatted his hand away, "I'm talking about you!"

"Your own ideas are flawed, yet you think others are flawed. What else could it be but a problem with your brains?"

Lu Mingnan, who had just been making a fuss, immediately turned into a well-behaved younger brother, nodding in agreement, "That's right, that's right, brother is right!"

Lu Yuanqing stared blankly at the three people, then relaxed and leaned back, thinking, "Whatever! I don't care anymore!"

It's also possible that he thinks they have something wrong with their heads.

The three people who didn't recognize him immediately surrounded Lu Mingdong.

“We have a problem with our thinking! You can’t just say things like that, kid! Otherwise, your uncle will let you know that if a child swears at others, he’ll get a spanking.”

Lu Mingdong was completely unafraid and continued to fire away in a cold voice, "You just think that older kids should give way to younger kids, why should that be! Isn't that a problem with your thinking?"

Zhao Zhongcai: "As the older brother, what's wrong with giving way to your younger brother? He's your younger brother!"

Lu Ming: "That's right! You just pushed your brother. What if you hurt him?"

Gu Baoxia: "If I hadn't caught your brother, he would have fallen to the ground and hurt himself!"

Lu Mingdong snorted coldly. He was a reasonable person. Although the three people in front of him were all idiots, he didn't mind to talk to them properly since they had a problem.

He immediately said to Zhao Zhongcai, "Just because I'm the older brother, does that mean I have to give way to the younger brother? He's the younger brother, why can't I, the older brother, have my way?"

Zhao Zhongcai: "You're older than him, so it's always the older one who gives way to the younger one, not the younger one."

Lu Mingdong: "Where did this rule come from? Wasn't it set by you crazy elders? My third uncle didn't set this rule, and none of us in the family recognize it."

Lu Mingnan nodded and said loudly, "Yes, we don't have that rule in our family."

Zhao Zhongcai: "..." He looked at Lu Yuanqing. Was this a matter of regulations?

Lu Yuanqing chuckled awkwardly, "Indeed, no!"

Lu Mingdong said, "Even children know that elders shouldn't favor one side, otherwise the relationship between the two will not be close, and they might even dislike each other more."

“You’ve always thought that in any situation, the older person should give way to the younger one. But if the older person always gives way, he’ll definitely get unhappy. If he’s always unhappy and keeps getting preferential treatment from the younger one, he’ll become more and more arrogant because he thinks that he has the adults backing him up.”

"My third uncle would never do that!"

After saying that, Lu Mingdong let out another cold snort.

Lu Mingnan loudly echoed, "Yes, my third uncle wouldn't do that!"

Seeing Zhao Zhongcai's pensive and unpleasant expression, Lu Yuanqing shrank back.

That's the logic, but if elders don't set a good example, then even in later generations, the saying "the older should give way to the younger" will still be readily uttered by a group of adults.

After saying that he was withdrawn, Lu Mingdong turned to Lu Ming and said, "What if Xiao Nan gets hurt in a fight? He knows he's a few years younger than me and can't beat me, but he still wants to fight me. If he gets hurt by accident, he deserves it. He must be out of his mind."

Lu Mingnan immediately retorted, "Brother, my head wasn't caught in a door."

Lu Mingdong glanced at him and said, "You can't win but you still want to fight? What's wrong with your head? Did you get your head caught in a door?"

Lu Mingnan quickly touched his head, relieved that he hadn't been caught in the door.

Lu Yuanqing pursed his lips, trying hard to suppress the smile on his face.

“Xiao Nan and I got into a fight, and he lost. He learned his lesson and will know to act within his capabilities in the future. He won’t rush in like a fool. I’m teaching him a lesson. If I always let him have his way and he gets proud of himself, will he expect outsiders to let him have his way when he grows up? It’s better to suffer a loss at home than to suffer a loss outside.”

Lu Ming: "..." He wanted to refute, but didn't know how.

Lu Mingdong snorted coldly, "None of them are any good fighters."

Then he turned to Gu Baoxia, but before he could speak, Gu Baoxia spoke first, "Xiao Dong, I was wrong, we were wrong!"

One reason is that they decisively admitted defeat.

The real reason is that they agree with Lu Mingdong's words.

The most important reason is that she didn't want to be lectured like that by a child in public; it was a bit embarrassing.

Lu Mingdong didn't want to scold her in the first place, after all, Gu Baoxia was his future aunt.

But then! Without saying a word, he was defeated. Lu Mingdong was extremely proud of himself. He sat on the small package, crossed his legs, and leaned back in a relaxed manner.

Lu Yuanqing pursed his lips, his smile tightly suppressed.

Not for any other reason than I'm afraid I'll burst out laughing.

When Lu Mingdong of his family gets serious, he won't even let his third uncle off the hook.

Zhao Zhongcai and his group actually wanted to teach him about 'loving the young'.

Is he the kind of person who would suffer a loss?

Lu Yuanqing leaned against him, using his hands to rub his cheeks and pinch his little face.

Whether she was used to Lu Yuanqing's actions or was simply in a good mood, she didn't push Lu Yuanqing's hand away.

"Be more tactful next time," Lu Yuanqing said, bowing his head.

Lu Mingdong looked at him with puffed-out cheeks, clearly dissatisfied.

If Lu Yuanqing says anything about saving face for elders, he'll make a scene.

Lu Yuanqing smiled, poked his puffed-out cheeks, and said, "I'm afraid you'll get beaten to death."

Harsh truths and pleasant lies.

How many people would choose the former?

Similarly, once someone has a fixed mindset, how can you know whether they will abandon their firm beliefs and listen to yours instead?

People are sometimes like that; they like to argue about who's right and wrong, but Lu Yuanqing wanted Lu Mingdong to know that it wasn't necessary.

Just like when he sees others favoring sons over daughters, he doesn't agree with it, but he doesn't try to change other people's minds.

no need.

Lu Mingdong was confused for a moment, then his eyes cleared and he nodded at him.

Of this group, only Zhao Zhongcai and Lu Yuanqing have become parents.

But even if you've never been a parent, haven't you ever been a child?

Gu Baoxia and Lu Ming have both experienced their parents' favoritism before.

The former was forbidden by his parents from fighting with his brothers.

The latter, being the youngest in the family, was always given preferential treatment.

It must be said that Lu Mingdong's words were quite shocking to them.

Especially that phrase, "a principle even children understand," yet they never reflect on whether it's right or wrong.

After all, this applies to our family and the whole village.

The Lu family suddenly appeared as an 'exception'.

It was as if Lu Mingdong, who was only in junior high school, had given them an unprecedented lesson.

Seeing that they didn't seem to want to talk, Lu Yuanqing pinched Lu Mingdong's cheek and said, "Let's go buy some food!"

Lu Mingdong nodded.

After giving Lu Mingnan some more instructions, Lu Yuanqing took Lu Mingdong to buy food.
