Lin Yuan spoke the truth; although she hadn't interacted much with these two children before, just by observing how one of them had used the privy at noon, she knew that this Daxi had a more cunning mind than Dahe. Thankfully, they were under Lin Jiazhong's wings, for had they followed Li Feng'e and Lin Jiaxiao, it's feared they'd have become another little rascal.
It actually made Lin Yuan quite reflective; it was unexpected that, after the successive loss of her own three children, Lin Jiazhong and Lady Ma managed to find their way, adopting their unique approach to parenting.
Indeed, one must not spoil children too much, or else big problems arise when they grow up.
