My older sister, born in the 1970s, stole my marriage; I took my three treasures and blew up the fam

"Mommy~" Da Bao's crisp voice suddenly rang out, and a chubby little hand waved in front of Ruan Tinghe's eyes.

"Mom, what are you thinking about? Why is your face so red?"

Ruan Tinghe snapped out of her daze and covered her face in shame and indignation.

It's all that scoundrel Shen Yan's fault!

He kissed her and left without explaining what he meant.

Da Bao stretched out his hand and touched Ruan Tinghe's forehead, his little face filled with panic: "Ah! Mom, you have a fever! You're so hot!"

"I don't have a fever!" Ruan Tinghe took Da Bao's paw off her, forcing herself to stop overthinking. Just pretend she got bitten by a dog, why keep thinking about him?

"But Mom, you're so hot."

Da Bao was confused. His mother's face was red and hot, and her eyes were wet and red. She looked very uncomfortable. What else could it be but a fever?

"I really don't have a fever!" Ruan Tinghe sighed and sat Da Bao on her lap. "Da Bao, does your body still hurt?"

Da Bao shook his head: "It doesn't hurt anymore. They're weak; it would hurt more if Da Bao hit them!"

"Dabao, you can't stand in front of others all by yourself anymore, okay? It will make Mommy very worried. You, Erbao, and Xiaobao are all Mommy's good babies. You are all equally important in Mommy's heart. If any of you get hurt, Mommy will be heartbroken."

"Dabao is strong!" Dabao patted his little chest. "He can protect his younger brothers and sisters."

"But Da Bao is just a little kid. He gets scared when he's in danger, and he feels pain when he gets hit. Da Bao is also his mother's precious child."

Ruan Tinghe gently pinched Da Bao's cheek and explained to him softly.

"Mom knows that Da Bao wants to protect his/her younger siblings, but Mom wants to tell Da Bao that Da Bao is also very important, and Mom will feel heartbroken if Da Bao gets hurt. Mom hopes that Da Bao will protect his/her younger siblings on the premise of protecting himself/herself first."

"Mommy," Da Bao's eyes were red, and his little nose was twitching, as if he was about to cry.

"Mom doesn't mean to blame Da Bao. Mom just feels sorry for Da Bao and hopes that Da Bao won't have to shoulder the burden of his younger siblings all by himself in the future."

Da Bao wiped away his tears, feeling a bittersweet ache in his heart.

From the time he was old enough to understand, the neighbors, uncles and aunts, and the police officers said to him most often:

Da Bao is taller than his younger siblings, so he should protect them in the future.

Da Bao, you're the older brother, so you have to protect your younger siblings.

Da Bao, your younger brother is gentle and kind, and your younger sister can't speak. As the older brother, you need to take good care of your younger brother and sister.

Only his mother never asked him to protect or take care of his younger siblings.

All Mom would say was: "Big baby, second baby, little baby, you need to take care of each other."

When Mom goes out to work, she says: "Big baby, you can cook, so you're responsible for your younger siblings' meals. Second baby, you need to help wash and prepare the vegetables and start the fire. Little baby, you need to help wash the dishes and sweep the floor, okay?"

They have always taken care of each other since they were little. However, he is the strongest of the three and is always taught to take care of and protect his younger siblings, so he always wants to do better and doesn't want his mother to worry.

Now Mom says that he is also her precious child, and that she would feel the same heartache if he got hurt.

He felt a lump in his throat and wanted to cry.

Da Bao buried his face in Ruan Tinghe's arms, tears streaming down his face like broken beads.

Erbao and Xiaobao woke up at some point, and they also came over to hug Ruan Tinghe and rub against her.

Erbao said guiltily, "Mom, I'm sorry. Brother, I'm sorry. I was so scared today. I just hid in the back. I will protect you and my sister from now on. I will never be scared again."

Xiao Bao cautiously tugged at Ruan Tinghe's sleeve, his wet eyes gazing longingly at her, his little mouth uttering soft cries.

Erbao's reaction: "My sister said she was wrong too. She shouldn't have waited for her brothers to protect her. She will protect her brothers from now on."

Ruan Tinghe's eyes reddened, and she hugged the three little ones tightly.

"Dabao, Erbao, Xiaobao, I'm not saying this to blame you. I just want you to know that each and every one of you is very important to me."

The three little ones nodded in unison.

Ruan Tinghe continued softly, "You all did a great job today, but you can do even better."

The three little ones looked up, confused, and asked in unison, "What do we do?"

"What did your mother teach you before, what to do if you encounter bad people?"

Da Bao raised his hand: "We want to run away."

Erbao raised his hand: "I need to shout for help."

Xiao Bao raised his little hand, put two fingers together, and made a shooting gesture.

"That's right. If you encounter danger, you should run away, shout for help, and let the police catch the bad guys. Don't stay and fight them to the death, understand?"

The three little ones nodded.

Ruan Tinghe continued, "So what would you do if something like this happened again in the future?"

Da Bao: "I'm not fighting them. I'm taking my younger siblings and Brother Aze with me and running away!"

Ruan Tinghe nodded and gave Da Bao a kiss on the forehead. "Da Bao is great."

Erbao, not to be outdone, chimed in, "I'm going to run away too! I'll run and yell for help to attract the adults' attention."

"Erbao is great too." *smacks Erbao*.

The two children, one big and two small, turned to look at Xiao Bao, who scratched his head with a worried expression.

"Oh dear!" She spread her little hands, looking like she didn't know what to do.

Erbao: "My little sister says she doesn't know where the police officers live here. What should we do?"

Da Bao said earnestly, "Then let's go find Daddy Shen! Daddy Shen is super awesome too. He'll help us scold the bad guys today!"

"Yes!" Xiao Bao nodded solemnly.

Ruan Tinghe sighed helplessly. She used to call him Uncle Shen, but now everyone is calling him Dad Shen.

"Shen Yan is not your father."

"Huh? Ee-yah-yah!" Little Bao pouted unconvinced, making unintelligible babbling sounds.

Ruan Tinghe could only look at Erbao, who stared wide-eyed in shock, asking incredulously, "Is it true?"

Xiao Bao nodded and stretched his neck to kiss Ruan Tinghe on the cheek.

Ruan Tinghe was still completely bewildered. At this moment, she wanted to question God: why was it that only Erbao could understand Xiaobao's words? Did she, as his biological mother, not deserve to be his mother?

Da Bao was also confused, tugging at his younger siblings and asking, "What? What?"

Erbao then translated: "My little sister said that when she was sleeping, she saw Daddy Shen and Mommy kissing, so Daddy Shen is Daddy."

Ruan Tinghe's face flushed bright red, and she stammered, "No, don't talk nonsense! Dreams shouldn't be taken seriously!"

Xiao Bao started pointing and gesturing again, babbling and arguing in protest. Indeed, she looked like she was arguing.

Erbao: "My little sister said she saw it, she even saw Daddy Shen pinning Mommy against the wall... Waaaaah!"

Ruan Tinghe quickly covered Erbao's mouth, preventing him from continuing to speak.

"Don't talk nonsense! You're not allowed to tell anyone about this dream! Understand?"

The three little ones looked at each other, and finally nodded.

Ruan Tinghe was completely stunned. She was absolutely certain that when she and Shen Yan... were doing that, Xiao Bao was sleeping in the room and could not possibly have seen her and Shen Yan doing that kind of thing.

Could it really be something Xiao Bao dreamed about? That's so real, it's like Xiao Bao witnessed it firsthand.

Moreover, Xiao Bao said she saw Shen Yan sneak into her room late at night last time...

She initially thought it was Xiao Bao who had been woken up, which is why she saw the scene of her pressing down on Shen Yan.

Looking back now, was it really a dream?

Xiao Bao can dream about what happened at that time! But nothing like this has ever happened before.

Could it be that Xiao Bao can only dream about her and Shen Yan?

Ruan Tinghe's face darkened. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it seemed she would have to stay away from that scoundrel Shen Yan from now on. It wouldn't be good if Xiao Bao dreamed about things he shouldn't have again.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Do your injuries still hurt? Let me change your dressings."
