Chapter 884: The Farmer and the Snake

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“If you take the initiative to do bad things and have no bottom line, you’re a bad person.” Ye Muyu rubbed her chin and expressed her opinion. “Anyway, that’s what I think.”

“I don’t want to do bad things.” Chu Heng narrowed his eyes and looked serious. However, many things were forced into a corner, and he never wanted to be a pure good person.

“Ah Heng, is there a chance for Eldest Young Master Luo’s leg to be cured? After he’s cured, can he defeat the second branch?” Ye Mu Yu did not have a good impression of Luo Qingxue, and now that she knew that the second branch of the Luo family was not a good person, she naturally subconsciously sided with the Eldest Young Master of the Luo family.

“Yes, but if he can’t win, there’s no need to waste your time preparing the prescription.”

“Actually, it’s not a precious prescription,” Ye Muyu explained subconsciously.

“Huh?”Chu Heng looked up at her.

“Ah!” Ye Muyu quickly shook her head. “I mean, it’s a good idea to help you, Ah Heng.”

Ye Muyu quickly patted his back and decided to go along with him.

Chu Heng was in a much better mood. “Ah Yu, do you want to hear a story?”

“What story?” Seeing that it was still early, Ye Muyu could only try her best to endure.

Chu Heng went to the bookshelf to get some books, walked over, and slowly explained to Ye Muyu.

Ye Muyu leaned against the large pillow behind her, listening to Chu Heng’s pleasant voice as he read out some miscellaneous notes clearly.

There were some interesting stories on it.

At first, Chu Jin and Ziluo were still playing chess, but later on, they could not stand it anymore and came over to listen.

“Father, why didn’t that monk thank the passerby after he gave him food? Instead, he brought his family to ask for the ancestral jade seal.”

“Could it be that the monk really took the jade seal?”

“Father, Big Brother Zhongjin also said that monks can’t steal.” Ziluo also asked.

“In this story, the monk did not steal the jade seal, and the passerby’s jade seal is indeed gone.”

“Firstly, the jade seal was secretly replaced with a clay block by the passerby’s family. The passerby did not know about it. Therefore, in his heart, the jade seal was indeed lost because he met a monk.”

“Father, this is not good.” Chu Jin frowned. “How can there be such a bad family? Why would they secretly change the jade seal? Don’t they know that the passers-by will be worried?”

“Father, are you saying that we can’t help people easily? Even if we help someone, we don’t need to have too much contact with them?” Ziluo gave another explanation.

Ye Muyu also became spirited. She sat up straight and looked at Chu Heng, wanting to know what he had to say.

Chu Heng looked at the two children and said lightly, “It’s just a story, but you must know that such a thing is possible.”

Ye Muyu’s eyes widened. She thought that he would teach the children how to handle things, but he did not even say a word.

Chu Jin and Ziluo both exclaimed as if they had not expected their father to say this.

“I have a story too. Do you want to hear it?” Ye Muyu was afraid that the two children would not be wary of people, so she asked.

“Mother, tell me. I want to hear it.” Ziluo replied.

Chu Jin frowned. He still could not figure it out after a while. Seeing that his mother was about to speak, he quickly nodded.

“This story is called The Farmer and the Snake…” Ye Muyu quickly finished the short story.

She looked at the two children expectantly, hoping that they would understand what she meant.

Ziluo saw the expectant look in her mother’s eyes. After a while, she said carefully, “Mother, snakes are bad. Should you ignore them when you see them?”
