Chapter 364 The Story of the Little Fox
During dinner, Gu Chenhao stayed in his room and didn't come out. There was nothing he could do as the kid had to save face too.
Originally Guangsheng was going to starve him, but the child's grandmother wouldn't let him and brought the food into the house herself. This shows who spoiled the little guy to be so lawless.
But Gu Mingyue pretended not to see it. After all, her sister-in-law and the others had been staying in the countryside all along, and it was usually Ruan's parents who picked them up and dropped them off. Naturally, she had no right to complain.
What's more, she felt that it was better for a boy to be a little naughty than a fool. After all, Gu Chenhao was just willful, not overbearing.
I had given red envelopes to everyone, except the little guy in the room.
After washing up, Gu Mingyue came to Gu Chenhao's bedside and said, "This is a gift from your aunt. Keep it. Next time, don't trick people into eating sheep dung eggs because you don't have money to buy chocolates. Do you understand?"
The little guy's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to reach out to take it, he suddenly said with a droopy head, "No, if I accept it, my mother will scold me."
Then he pushed the red envelope back reluctantly and said, "Auntie, please take it back quickly, otherwise I'm afraid I can't control myself from sending it."
Gu Mingyue couldn't help laughing and said, "It's okay, I sent it to every child in the family, but you didn't leave your room before and missed it. I'm making it up to you now."
Gu Chenhao immediately turned around and asked, "Brother, do you have one too?"
Gu Chenhan put down the book in his hand and said, "Yes, I have them all, but I gave my copy to my mother."
Gu Chenhao said with a look of disappointment, "Have you become stupid from studying so hard? Can you still get it back after you get it from our mother? If you don't want it, you can give it to me. I will keep it for you. How reliable it is."
Gu Chenhan said speechlessly, "It will be gone faster if you put it there."
Gu Chenhao asked expectantly, "Aunt, can I open it?"
"can."
After a while, he wanted to scream with excitement, but was afraid of being heard by his parents. Regardless of the pain in his butt, he stood up and somersaulted on the ground, then covered his aching butt and grimaced. However, this did not stop his eyes from narrowing into slits with joy.
He happily approached Gu Mingyue and said, "Auntie, look at me. Am I almost having snot bubbles from my nose?"
"Haha, does your mom always say that to you?"
Gu Chenhao was surprised and said, "Wow, aunt, you even know this, it's amazing. I have decided to move my parents' position to the back. From now on, you will occupy the first place in my heart. Don't worry, I will protect you in the future. This piece, please help me."
Gu Mingyue deliberately asked, "Really? You're not going to trick me into eating sheep dung eggs, are you? Then I don't dare to play with you."
Gu Chenhao said awkwardly, "That's a joke, I definitely won't do that to you."
"Then why did you treat Tiedan like this? If it were me, I would definitely break up with you. By the way, when your father was beating you up before, Tiedan begged for mercy for you. Tell me, is he stupid?"
"No way!" Gu Chenhao said seriously, "Tiedan is not stupid. Auntie, I don't allow you to say that about Tiedan. You...you are very rude."
Seeing that the little guy was very angry, Gu Mingyue questioned, "But your behavior of tricking people into eating sheep dung eggs doesn't seem to be much better."
Gu Chenhao looked around uncomfortably, and finally uttered, "Well, I think I went a little too far."
Gu Mingyue raised the corner of her mouth and praised, "Wow, you are really amazing. You dare to do and take responsibility. Some of us adults can't do that."
Gu Chenhao thought he would be criticized again. He was not used to being praised out of the blue. He looked up with some suspicion and asked, "You didn't scold me?"
Gu Mingyue pointed at his buttocks and said, "You have already learned your lesson. I think that is enough. Hey, let me ask you, do you know what it means to learn from your mistakes?"
Gu Chenhao shook his head, and Gu Chenhan also looked over curiously.
"It is said that there was a little fox in a vast forest. It thought it was the smartest animal in the world. One day, it heard that there was an orchard deep in the forest. The fruits there were big and sweet. But the owner of the orchard was a tiger. In order to prevent the fruits from being stolen, the tiger set many traps nearby. However, many animals still went there without returning because of greed. The little fox did not think so. It thought that with its wisdom, it would never fall into the trap, so it decided to go there alone. After bypassing several obvious traps, the little fox thought it was nothing special and then ate the fruits triumphantly. At this moment, it accidentally stepped on a hidden trap and was suddenly hung in the air. It struggled desperately, and the more it struggled, the tighter the rope became. The little fox was in despair when he heard the tiger roar getting closer and closer. At this moment, he regretted his self-righteousness. At this critical moment, the monkey brother, whom the little fox usually looked down upon, appeared in time to save him, so he escaped. Since then, the little fox has become modest and cautious, and no longer blindly conceited. No one liked to play with him before, but now that his character has become more stable, he relies on his intelligence to help everyone solve many problems. So far, he has made many friends and is very popular wherever he goes. This is called "learning from one's mistakes" and means learning from them after experiencing some difficulties, setbacks or pains, and never making the same mistake again next time. What do you two feel after listening to this story? Chen Han, you talk first?"
“Don’t be greedy for things that are not yours, and don’t be too clever.”
Gu Mingyue was surprised at the other party's perspective on the problem and praised him, "Very good, you can find the fundamental problem from the appearance of things, which is amazing."
Gu Chenhan's face turned red due to the praise and he smiled shyly.
Gu Mingyue touched his head and said, "That's great. I hope you can always be so sharp, not be disturbed by the outside world, and have your own judgment."
Then she looked at Gu Chenhao, "What about you? Is there anything you want to say?"
"Auntie, if the little fox had been more cautious, would he not have been caught?"
The couple who were eavesdropping at the door were almost angry to death by their youngest son's words.
Gu Mingyue was stunned, thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed possible, but it is only a possibility. If you think this way, it is not yours after all. No matter how careful you are, you will be nervous and uneasy when trying to possess it. Auntie asks you, do you think that with the little fox's cleverness, can it find something else more delicious?"
Gu Chenhao affirmed, "Of course I can."
"If you use the time you spend searching for traps to find unowned delicacies, you can enjoy them with confidence and take enough time to savor them carefully. You can even take them back and show off to your friends. But if you steal someone else's things, you may be nervous and afraid of falling into a trap, so you may swallow them hastily and not even be able to taste the flavor. Tell me, what have you gained from all this trouble except fear?"
Gu Chenhao pondered for a long time, and finally said, "I understand, aunt, only things that truly belong to you can be flaunted to your heart's content. Things that do not belong to you will not last long even if you get them."
