Chapter 1173 - 996, Target
Prince Residence of Wei Yuan.
"Mom, why can’t the almighty big brother defeat the demon?"
In the east wing of the main courtyard, Daohua was sitting by the bed, telling the story of the Calabash Brothers to Daozi.
Hearing her son’s question, Daohua asked back: "What do you think?"
Daozi furrowed his brows and thought for a moment: "Because the demon played tricks, turning the Copper Coin as big as a mountain, too heavy for the big brother to lift."
Daohua nodded with a smile: "Daozi spoke well. Let’s think of it this way, imagine the demon as some officials, and these officials keep bringing silver to your dad. If your dad accepts all without refusal, guess, what would happen to your dad?"
Daozi opened his eyes wide: "Dad would be crushed by the silver."
Daohua laughed and patted her son’s back: "That’s why, one must learn to resist temptation, and control their desires and greed. A gentleman loves wealth but in an honorable way, one must not resort to unscrupulous methods to collect wealth, otherwise, they will be buried by silver in the end."
Daozi nodded his head, half-understanding.
Daohua smiled and covered Daozi with a thin blanket: "Alright, that’s the end of tonight’s story, time to sleep."
Daozi grabbed Daohua’s hand, not letting go: "Mom, wait until I fall asleep before you leave."
