Ye Bei looked down at Chen Yuanyuan and lowered her voice, "Yuanyuan, don't be afraid. Tell your auntie, are you sure it was Zhou Zhou who broke the glass?"

Chen Yuanyuan lowered her head, her face turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"No...no, it's Zhou Zhou standing there." She stuttered nervously.

All the adults were looking at her, and this intense attention made her a little scared.

Ye Bei continued: "So you are not sure whether it was him who did it, right?"

"Yes... yes." Chen Yuanyuan nodded and spoke timidly.

Ye Bei asked again: "You only saw Zhou Zhou under the window?"

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, and there was no hint of questioning, so Chen Yuanyuan gradually became less scared.

"Yes, yes, Zhou Zhou was standing downstairs, I didn't... didn't see him break the glass." Chen Yuanyuan lowered her little head and clenched her little hands tightly.

Zhou Min's mouth twitched, "Then why did you say it was Zhou Zhou who did it?"

"Ye Bei, aren't you just guiding your child to lie and shirking responsibility for your son? You knew Yuanyuan was scared, but you still questioned her. Of course, she would answer whatever you asked."

"Did you see it?" Ye Bei glanced at her with cold eyes.

Zhou Min's expression changed, "What?"

"If you didn't see it, shut up." Ye Bei said coldly.

"Yuanyuan was under the gaze of so many adults, and she mustered up the courage to point out the person she saw, but she did not say that the person was Zhou Zhou."

"It was the adults themselves who identified it as Zhou Zhou. Now that things have gotten to this point, a problem has arisen, and now you are blaming Yuan Yuan."

Zhou Min's face turned red after being confronted by Ye Bei. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and was about to open her mouth to refute.

Ye Bei added: "You are not a party involved, nor are you the child's parent, you have no right to say such things!"

"Before the results come out, please don't say anything to avoid causing trouble for others."

After saying that, she turned around and walked to Lu Zhizhou, leaned down and touched his little head, "Zhou Zhou, tell mom, did you see who hit it?"

Lu Zhizhou's eyes were slightly red, and he took a breath with tears in his eyes, thinking that his mother didn't believe him either.

He was so wronged!

"Mom knows you were very nervous just now. Now I believe you. Calm down and tell me if you saw it?" Ye Bei said patiently.

Lu Zhizhou looked up and met Ye Bei's gentle gaze, then turned his head to glance at Xixi and then at Chenchen.

Xixi on the opposite side lowered his head, remained silent, and was shaking with nervousness. Chenchen next to him stared at Lu Zhizhou with a dark face.

Lu Zhizhou clenched his hands with a conflicted look on his face, opened his mouth, and then closed it again.

If he spoke out, would that mean betraying his friends?

Zhou Min curled her lips. Isn’t it obvious?

At this point, Lu Zhizhou couldn't make excuses anymore.

"I...I!" Suddenly a childish voice sounded.

Chenchen took two steps forward, he timidly raised his little fleshy hand, lowered his little head, and spoke with a trembling voice, "I smashed it."

"And...there's me!" Seeing Chenchen admit it, Xixi mustered up the courage to speak.

"I was fighting for the ball with Chenchen, and then the ball flew out and broke the glass. Zhouzhou happened to pass by there and was seen by Zhouzhou."

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Xixi said to everyone with tears in her eyes.

Chenchen's eyes were red, "Yes... I'm sorry, I was wrong too."

Zhou Min widened her eyes and looked at Chenchen in disbelief.

His face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He never expected that this would be the result.

At this moment, it seemed as if countless hands were slapping her face hard.

I thought it was Ye Bei's child who made the mistake, but who knew it was my own stepson who actually made the mistake and refused to admit it.

Where can she put her face?

Ye Bei pursed her lips and said, "Children who know their mistakes and can correct them are good children."

"Wow!" Chenchen cried, his little shoulders shaking, feeling guilty and self-blaming.

"But I didn't dare to admit it just now, and I almost caused Brother Zhou Zhou to be misunderstood by everyone. I... I am a bad boy."

"Wow, wow, wow... Chenchen is right, it's all our fault. We shouldn't have stolen the ball, we shouldn't have broken the glass, we shouldn't have denied it." Xixi burst into tears out of guilt.

Ye Bei touched their shoulders and said, "Now that you all know you are wrong, it's not too late. You just need to work hard to remedy the consequences of your mistakes and get forgiveness."

"So, how do you think about remedying this?"

Xixi and Chenchen looked up at Ye Bei with confusion in their eyes.

Xu Xiao next to him said, "This house belongs to the village chief uncle, so shouldn't you apologize to him and give him a good piece of glass as compensation?"

"You almost let Zhou Zhou take the blame. Shouldn't you apologize to him?"

Xixi's eyes lit up, and she looked at Zhou Zhou apologetically, "I was too scared, so I didn't dare to admit it, but I didn't expect Zhou Zhou to be wrongly accused. I'm sorry Zhou Zhou."

Chenchen nodded, "I'm sorry Zhouzhou."

Xu Xiao looked at Zhou Zhou and said, "Little Zhou Zhou, are you willing to forgive them?"

Zhou Zhou glanced at Xixi, then at Chenchen, nodded, and said "hmm" softly with a serious look on his chubby little face.

"I forgive you."

Xu Xiao held Xixi and Chenchen's little hands and patiently taught them, "But have you ever thought about this? If you are afraid to admit your mistakes, then someone else will always take the blame for you. Maybe next time, it won't be Zhou Zhou who gets misunderstood, but someone else."

"But you guys are great. You were brave enough to admit your mistakes. If you didn't admit it, then Zhou Zhou or someone else would be wrongly accused, and the person who was wronged would definitely be very sad."

Xixi nodded and said seriously: "Uncle Xu, I will not hide it anymore. I will admit my mistakes and correct them like I did now."

“Yeah, Chenchen is just like Xixi. He bravely admits his mistakes and will not hide them and let Zhou Zhou or others be misunderstood like he did today.” Chenchen said in a baby voice, pinching her little hands.

"Very good, you are great, that's how it should be!" Xu Xiao praised.

Chenchen's face turned red, and he looked up and said, "Uncle Xu, please take us to find the village chief uncle. We want to apologize to him and get his forgiveness."

"Yes!" Xixi was also full of passion.

Director Xu took the two children and went to find the village chief.

Ye Bei bent down and picked up Lu Zhizhou. Lu Zhizhou's emotions had been up and down, and now he was tired. He nestled in Ye Bei's arms without saying a word.

Xu Lu walked over and said softly, "Zhou Zhou, I'm sorry. Auntie misunderstood you just now. I apologize to you."

Lu Zhizhou hummed softly.

Zhou Min covered her mouth, her face not looking good, and forced an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, Ye Bei, I was just worried that the child would learn bad things, so I was too anxious."

"The person you should apologize to is not me, but the child." Ye Bei didn't even look at her.

Zhou Min bit her lip, suppressing the anger in her heart, "Zhou Zhou, I'm sorry, Auntie's mistake has been made by you, can you forgive me?"

Lu Zhizhou snorted softly, nodded like a quail, and muttered softly: "I won't argue with adults."
