This time, Bai Ruozhu's tone was much gentler. It was necessary to be stern when needed, but reasoning needed to be communicated to the child in a gentle and soft voice.
She squatted down to look at Dengdeng, hugged him, and then touched his little head and asked, "Does Dengdeng want to tear paper?"
Little Dengdeng, now comforted by his mother, had stopped crying loudly and was only sobbing softly. He looked at the torn pieces of paper in Bai Ruozhu's hand and nodded his little head.
Lin Ping'er and Bai Yihong exchanged glances, and this time, neither interjected, letting their daughter educate the child by herself.
Bai Ruozhu, feeling pity, picked up Dengdeng and sat down with him on a chair, then instructed the maid beside her to fetch some scrap paper that had been used by his second brother.
