Chapter 153: There is no such thing as a desperate situation; everyone walks a different path

You chose to take it slow, but those people bully and mock you every day—do you have time to take it slow?

Or, how do you take it slow? Just to let yourself survive?

Human life, in this era, is so insignificant.

If taking it slow succeeds, then what will you do afterwards?

If you fail, at best you'll be annihilated among the masses, at worst you'll lose your life or be covered in wounds.

This is the ending.

When Jiang Yun Chu was analyzing, Kang Zhi Xia thought of every possibility, discovering that the path for those of humble origins is too few.

Grades are one aspect, but not everything.

Someone said, 'If you can't beat them, join them.' Jiang Yun Chu smiled.

I think this is the choice of many people: to join the perpetrators' ranks in order to let themselves survive.

Later, you might see others' pitiful state and feel a strange excitement.

When she said this, her gaze toward the crowd was filled with pity and sorrow.

But... later, when you wake at midnight, will your conscience be at peace?

If you startle awake in the middle of the night, do you think it's a ghost knocking at the door?

The two questions struck down, and everyone's brows furrowed.

Perhaps you are steadfast in mind, always remembering when you were bullied, secretly helping those who are bullied.

Later, take revenge.

But believe me, those perpetrators will not let you get away unscathed.

The gates of hell, when you enter them, will walk alongside you.

……

Kang Wu felt a chill run down his back, even feeling at a loss; no matter how mature or clever he was, he was still just a six-year-old child.

Someone also said, 'Drop out!'

Dropping out is a method, a short-term escape, a short-term break from the sea of suffering.

However, the road is this broad—let's not discuss whether you can persist in studying; let's say you achieve something in your studies, and when we meet again in the future, will you forget the initial humiliation and greet each other with a smile?

Jiang Yun Chu lowered her head and smiled; she did not want her child to become a perpetrator, but she even more did not want her child to be victimized.

Poor family background, difficult studies, and then dropping out—rumors spread everywhere; can one still hold to their original intention? Continue studying? It's all uncertain.

She smiled, then shook her head.

Actually she has an answer: dropping out is like walking a tightrope; one step, two steps—how many people can persevere?

The final answer.' Jiang Yun Chu looked toward Kang Wen.

Kang Wen's face turned slightly pale, his fists clenched.

Actually, it's my favorite answer.

Hearing Jiang Yun Chu's words, Kang Wen suddenly lifted his head, looking blankly at the Dean.

Seeing the Dean's expression, it was not a joke.

But it's also the most irrational answer.' She did not mock, nor did she completely deny it.

As a son of Da Ning, one ought to be self-reliant, ought to be valiant, ought to fear neither life nor death.

This is the true nature of a Da Ning son; this is the courage a Da Ning son should have.

But... Kang Wen, this is not a battlefield.

If you choose this, do you know what the consequences are?

Jiang Yun Chu's gradual guidance, her voice even gentler than usual, like a slow breeze, dispelled the gloom of many.

What consequences?' Kang Wen asked instinctively.

Jiang Yun Chu smiled, her lips bearing a smile.

If you kill them, their parents will seek revenge, leaving you and your family with no place to bury your dead.

If you don't kill them, they and their parents will seek revenge, and you and your family will likewise have no place to bury your dead.

Run?

She gently shook her head, 'Under the vast heavens, where is home?'

How could one run? How could one possibly escape?

Kang Wen's face grew paler; he was merely acting on impulse, not realizing that his parents and relatives would also be implicated.

Why didn't he think of that?

Relying on others is a good idea.' She smiled and nodded.

Choosing whom to rely on, how to rely—all require careful consideration, just as you said, it is indeed making a deal with a tiger.

After she finished speaking, she walked forward, stood still, and looked at the little radish heads before her.

You are young, carrying immature and naive thoughts—these are quite normal.

This time, I just want to tell you, in the same environment, how you should act.

When roles are exchanged, what will you do?

From beginning to end, her face bore a smile; no matter how those below answered, her expression never changed.

'Dean, if it were you, what would you do?' At that moment, Kang Wu raised his hand, asking eagerly.

Jiang Yun Chu smiled, 'If it were me!'

First, I would observe, among these people, who is the leader? Which faction do they belong to?

Second, I would find a teacher with a sense of justice, who sets an example, then I would confide my difficulties and seek help.

Then, although I am a nobody, being bullied is an opportunity to get close, and also an opportunity to frame them.

"Also, using oneself as a breakthrough point, seek out opposing factions, conceal one's identity and name."

"Finally, study hard; if you want to establish yourself, everything is based on learning—only when your grades improve will you attract more teachers' attention, and will those noble scions still behave so recklessly?"

After Jiang Yun Chu finished speaking, they silently left the classroom.

No one has smooth sailing, and no family stands forever unshaken.

Serving as an official, a general, a merchant—there are too many twists and turns inside; she needs to teach a little to deepen the impression, telling them that any desperate situation may possibly have a turning point.

In the classroom, it was very quiet; everyone was pondering, everyone was thinking about the Dean's plan.

Schemes, calmness, concealment—even if they fail, then……

No loss, self-preservation!

After considering everything, they suddenly realized—what desperate situation? Everyone's path is different; many people actually choose desperation themselves.

"Master, the manor side has already been fertilized; the twelve commanders have already been sent to the covert guards." Zi Su said softly.

Regarding the twelve commanders, she felt pity for them.

But feeling pity cannot let the children survive; they need their worth.

Covert guards must be cultivated from a young age.

Originally, Jiang Yun Chu wanted them to learn some knowledge first, then go to covert guard training.

But after An San conveyed her request over there, they directly said to start training now; the children are young, their bones are soft, and they have high endurance.

After Jiang Yun Chu discussed with several children, they directly agreed.

Since arriving at Wang Fu these days, they have eaten well, slept well, and worn new clothes; deep down, everyone harbors some fear.

They fear that Jiang Yun Chu will no longer want them.

Now sending them away to train their skills shows they are still useful; the Princess Consort will not abandon them.
