Lin Xia rubbed Lin Dong's head, "Dongzi! Why bring up those things now? Weren't you just a kid back then? And big brother wasn't much older!
If you talk like that, aren't my second sister and I the same? We didn't have that kind of courage before either!
But now mom is gone too, there's really no need to fuss over those things. Besides, we have the courage now, right? Look, when he came knocking, none of us backed down!"
She didn't want her younger brother to dwell on those memories and feel guilty, nor did she want to recall those past events herself.
She had come to understand a principle; to live a happy, joyful, and satisfying life, one must not look back but always look forward.
Otherwise, you'd be stuck in those frustrating emotions, never able to enjoy your days!
Lin Dong and Lin Qiu nodded, this time they indeed hadn't backed down, no longer the people who could be hit, yelled at, and bullied by just anyone.
