Chapter 144: Will there still be human feelings?

Jiang Yunchu rubbed her brow; these kids sure know how to save trouble!

Have they even thought about this favor?

Your own hearts should know you're the ones getting the advantage.

Even your mothers, your aunts, and your grandmothers.

Do you think such deals will still be possible?

She looked around, then pointed at Kang Wu and said, "You speak."

Kang Wu lowered his head, then lifted it: "Because it's my mother, she will continue to support us unconditionally."

Jiang Yunchu then pointed at Ning Qiancheng: "You speak!"

Ning Qiancheng frowned: "Elders dote on us, it's more like they're indulging us; if it were anyone else, they wouldn't help us this much."

After Ning Qiancheng finished speaking, Ning Hanmo nodded, showing his agreement.

This time, taking the shortcut was the right move.

We all have countless people and relationships around us; these are our resources, but!

Children, don't exploit anyone; those are our resources, but these are human hearts.

Once hurt, it's gone.

She glanced at Kang Zhi Chun, who had already lowered her head; especially Kang Zhiqiu, who had actually proposed this suggestion.

Ning Hanmo had opposed it before, but she thought it was the most convenient.

But only now did she realize her idea might be wrong.

Elders' love for you is affection, an infinite tolerance.

Since it's already come to this.

Then you should figure out how to make amends.

She didn't scold or reprimand them; knowing how to use surrounding resources isn't necessarily bad, but she didn't want these kids to take it for granted.

Is fertilizing and spreading fertilizer really that simple?

Can just washing a few bowls and a few batches of vegetables make for an equal trade?

No!

Why then did the elders agree? Because she loves the children.

Yes! Ning Hanmo stepped forward and walked out of the room.

Kang Zhiqiu lowered her head and softly told everyone, "I was wrong."

Kang Zhi Xia rubbed her hair and said, "Sis, Brother also agreed; Brother was also wrong."

The decision was made by all of us, so the consequences naturally need to be borne by us together." Ning Hanmo gave a firm reply; although he had already walked out of the room, his resolute tone still reached inside.

But Kang Zhiqiu turned her head to look at him: "But... you previously disagreed."

Ning Hanmo nodded: "I did disagree, but you finally convinced me; since the decision has been made, it means I agree."

A six-year-old boy already bears responsibility on his shoulders.

Kang Zhi Xia patted Ning Hanmo's shoulder: "Sometimes I really admire you."

Ning Hanmo laughed and shook his head: "Sometimes I really admire you too!"

That restrained demeanor, he truly hasn't learned.

Let's discuss how to make amends." Ning Hanmo shifted the topic, moving from the recent apology to remediation.

Everyone no longer felt guilty, and the group was no longer downcast as before.

I've seen the dean make chrysanthemum cake; now that chrysanthemums are in bloom, shall I make chrysanthemum cake?" Kang Zhi Chun raised her hand and made the suggestion first.

Kang Ziwei apologetically said, "I won't help with the chrysanthemum cake; I've recently learned a new embroidery technique and want to embroider a handkerchief for Mother—what do you think?"

Kang Nai Xin thought and said, "I'll help Sister Zhi Chun make the chrysanthemum cake; my needlework is……"

Too horrible to behold!

She can do anything; her large characters have been praised countless times by teachers, but when it comes to needlework, the tiny silver needle makes her hand feel sealed—she pricks everywhere except the cloth, leaving wound after wound on her hands, to the point that the needlework instructor is about to give up on her.

Afraid she might one day stab herself to death……

I want to write a large character piece," Kang Wu said.

Kang Wen thought and said, "I want to perform a martial demonstration."

I'll accompany you." Kang Zhi Xia stopped Kang Wen's shoulder, showing a brotherly bond.

Then Kang Zhiqiu hesitantly said, "Shall I cook a soup?"

Then it's settled." Ning Hanmo said with a chuckle.

As for me and Qiancheng, we've prepared a fertilizer formula, hoping it will also be useful for the Kang household." Ning Hanmo and Ning Qiancheng bumped fists, their brotherly expression.

They aren't children of the Kang household, so naturally they lack that deep affection and can't do such intimate things.

So from a practical standpoint, we hope this fertilizing method can help the Kang household; if it increases their harvest yield, that would also count as our repayment.

Since we've all decided, let's get started." Ning Hanmo clapped his hands; the people who had just gathered dispersed.

Jiang Yunchu heard Bai Zhi's report and then smiled helplessly.

These little rascals have already done quite well.

Five days later, the broker came to the gate of the Regent Prince's Manor, was stopped, and said, "I'm looking for Miss Zi Su; I'm from the brokerage."

Zi Su had already greeted the gatekeepers; upon hearing he was from the brokerage, she immediately led him into the manor.

Please wait a moment; I'll go inside to announce you," a third-rank maid said.

Zhang Zhi and the gatekeepers waited outside the Rhyme Courtyard; shortly after, Zi Su came out from inside.

Today her makeup differed from that time at the brokerage; she wore all purple, and the fabric shimmered with a faint silver sheen in the sunlight.

Miss Zi Su, he says he's from the brokerage and is looking for you," the gatekeeper said respectfully.

Zi Su is, after all, the senior maid beside the Princess Consort; her status in the Wang Fu is high, and those second- and third-class maids and servants, upon seeing Zi Su, Bai Zhi, and the other two senior maids, all must salute.

"I've brought the person in, thank you for your trouble." Zi Su said with a gentle smile.

That gatekeeper hurriedly waved his hand and returned to the gatehouse.

"Come with me." Zi Su said to Zhang Zhi.

Afterwards she took him to the side room, saying, "Please sit for a moment; the Princess Consort will come shortly."

"Yes." Zhang Zhi dared not sit, so he just stood in the middle; when he came to the Wang Fu, his heart was still uneasy, wondering if he had been deceived.

This is the Regent Prince's Manor, after all; ordinary folk, upon seeing it, must salute.

But the Princess Consort actually bought Sand Field at his tooth shop.

Who would believe it if it got out!

"Sorry for the wait." Jiang Yunchu walked in from outside and immediately saw the nervous person.

Zhang Zhi dared not sit, nor dare to look around; his body stood straight, his hands already clenched into fists.

"Please sit." She pointed to a spot beside her.

After Zhang Zhi waited for Jiang Yunchu to sit down, he then slowly sat down.

Just...
