However, Yan Shi did not do so. Instead, she turned to Gao Erniu and said, "It is indeed quite unfair. Every time there's heavy work, it's always your older brother who goes, and you, this little rascal, are overlooked. Since you feel it's unfair, we're going to till the land soon, so you should go too this time."
Gao Erniu immediately put on a pouty face, pleading pitifully for Yan Shi's sympathy, "Mom, I'm still a child..."
Yan Shi walked over at this point, touched his head, and said, "Precisely because you're a child, your older brother often ends up suffering. When I send him to the front yard to find out about things, it's just running errands, not really benefitting from it. Yet you say such things about me. How could I not feel hurt?"
"I was wrong, I won't do it again..." Gao Erniu promptly admitted his mistake honestly.
"It's good that you realize your mistake. Go wash up and sleep." Yan Shi comforted again.
After Gao Erniu left, Gao Xiaomei also went to wash up.
