"You can't say that, a child should never despise their mother for her looks, or be ashamed of their home for its poverty. A child should not scorn the mother who gave them life," An Ning took the opportunity to educate the child.
Yu Ziqian blinked, worried An Ning might not like what he said. "I'm not despising my mom for not being pretty, it's just... I'm a bit disappointed, that's all."
An Ning pinched the child's cheek. "No matter how others view one's mother, as her child, you should always think of her as the most beautiful person in the world."
Yu Ziqian was puzzled. "Ningning always says children shouldn't lie, so if my mom is really as bad as you say, how can I still say she is beautiful? Wouldn't that be a lie?"
