His wife could do nothing but bend down to humour him, saying:
妻子没有办法，只好弯腰哄他，说:
"My darling, go home now. Mama will be back soon.
“我的小宝贝，回家去吧!
When I'm back, I'll kill the pig to make a meal for you."
妈妈去了就回来，一回来就杀猪给你吃。”
When the son heard this, he went home happily.

Not long after, the wife returned home from the market.

The child is still small and doesn't understand things.
现在，孩子还小，不懂事。
He only follows the example of his parents.
他只会照着父母的样子去做。
Now you cheat him, then he will follow your example and cheat others.
你现在哄骗孩子，孩子就会学你的样子，去哄骗别人。
Furthermore, when a mother cheats her child, the child will no longer trust his mother.
做母亲的哄骗儿子，做儿子的就不会再信任母亲。
Then, how can you educate the child well?"
这样，怎么能教育好孩子呢?”
Having said this, Zeng Zi raised his knife and killed the fat pig.
曾子话一说完，就一刀宰了肥猪。
