When the Regent Princess kneeled, all the children in Beijing broke their knees.
Chapter 169: The human heart will never be satisfied.
"Everyone is scared of being hungry." The girl who was protecting the child behind her came over and said to a few people.
They are small and weak, so they cannot compete with others.
Just now the little girl asked everyone to eat all the steamed buns. Now they have smiles on their faces. This is the first time they have had a full meal since they can remember.
The feeling of having a full stomach is really wonderful!
"..."
Ning Hanmo's anger just now was like a balloon that was punctured, and he was completely stunned.
He used to think he knew the lowest point, but seeing the slum before him, did he really know?
That time...
He looked up at his mother. Jiang Yunchu felt his gaze and just smiled at him. This smile was filled with infinite tolerance.
Ning Hanmo's nose felt sore, but he held back his tears and did not let them fall.
Su Xin did not buy the cloth in whole pieces, but bought a lot of scraps. Not to mention the children from the slums, even the children outside did not use a whole piece of cloth to make clothes.
She bought a lot of cloth scraps, which were cheap and plentiful, so she didn't have to separate them into pieces.
"Everyone take one piece. Don't let me see anyone taking more than that. If I find out, I will take back all the cloth and beat the steamed bread you have eaten until you spit it out." Jiang Yunchu narrowed his eyes and made his words clear in advance.
"Everyone line up." Bai Zhi shouted loudly.
The men quickly stood up.
Jiang Yunchu first distributed the cloth to the little girl, and then said in front of everyone, "Next time I come here, I will check your cloth. If you throw it away, I will never come here again."
Her voice was warm, but it was also a reminder to the adults.
If the cloth of these children is taken away, no one will get anything in the future.
A few people who were thinking about this had their eyes flickering for a few times, but finally they resigned themselves to their fate and lined up to receive the cloth.
After distributing the cloth, the children looked at the happy eyes of those people and left with heavy hearts.
"What do you think?"
When he came, Ning Hanmo was chattering non-stop, but when he left, he became quiet.
"Mom, thank you."
Ning Hanmo thought about it for a long time and finally thanked him.
At that time, he initially thought that it was someone his mother had hired to perform for him.
Although he believed it later, he thought it was a minority of people. It was not until today that he realized that the people he met before were already living happily.
And the people he met today, the desolate streets and houses with drafty winds everywhere, and their eyes full of dead silence and resignation were like needles piercing his heart, hurting him so much that he couldn't breathe.
"Thank me for what? Thank me for showing you all the darkness in the world, thank me for letting you experience what life is like?"
Jiang Yunchu sneered. She was a very selfish person. She only cared about her own children. Did she really care about those people in the slums?
She just hopes that her children can expand their cognition, have their own ideas, and set goals.
Ning Hanmo looked at his mother deeply. His mother seemed a little awkward at this moment. Did she really not care?
"Mother, if you don't care, why did you threaten those people and not take the cloth from those children?"
"If you don't care, why do you look at them with pity?"
The little guy smiled secretly and looked at his awkward mother.
"I'm an awkward child, it must be because you're an awkward mother. We were born to be mother and son."
Jiang Yunchu, who had been feeling a little awkward just now, closed his eyes helplessly when he saw his son's look and the cunning in his eyes.
"Now that you're old, are you going to tease your mother?"
She tapped Ning Hanmo's forehead, but Ning Hanmo dodged and said, "Mom, I'm grown up."
Jiang Yunchu smiled, then grabbed him, "Ning Hanmo, no matter how old you are, you are still my son."
Ning Hanmo looked at his mother's black hands and felt a little hopeless.
But he saw his hands, well...
They are mother and son, so no one should look down on each other.
After returning to the palace, every child was very depressed and no one spoke. On the contrary, Ning Hanmo's condition was the best among them.
This shows how much impact this incident has on them.
The eyes of each child seemed to be full of curiosity, but also afraid of the results, and they just stared at Jiang Yunchu.
The contradictory look made her squint her eyes unconsciously.
“Slums are real. They have always existed. The one we went to today is just a small slum.” Her words seemed to be the culprit that turned off the lights. The expectant eyes of the children suddenly dimmed.
"You have all seen what happened today, people who repeatedly asked for steamed bread, people who were greedy for small gains, and people who wanted to steal the children's cloth."
"What are your thoughts?"
There was no expression on Jiang Yunchu's face. She liked chatting with them like this, and they also liked chatting with her like this. They were like plasticine now. Whatever shape she wanted to mold them into now, they might become in the future.
Children's plasticity is the strongest.
but……
She wants them to be free to shape themselves into who they want to be within a safe range.
instead of...
What she wanted to be.
"They have such a hard life. If they hadn't suffered so much, they might not be like this." Kang Ziwei's face was full of pity.
After she finished speaking, Kang Naixin frowned in disagreement, "I don't think so. People who rob others will make this choice no matter what time it is."
Jiang Yunchu was somewhat surprised by Kang Naixin's words.
"Oh?"
She couldn't help but speak out.
Carnation looked at the dean. In the dean's calm gaze and in the familiar environment, she felt safe enough.
“The human heart will never be satisfied.”
"They are now poor people who can rob others of their food and cloth."
"When they have a little money, they will grab something bigger, which may be someone else's opportunity."
"If they become officials, they may be corrupt and take bribes."
“Human nature will not change depending on the environment. Poverty or wealth changes the living conditions, not the human heart.”
When Kang Naixin said these words, she didn't even think about them. She just said them as if she had always firmly believed in them in her heart.
After she finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at everyone's strange looks.
She straightened her chest firmly and stood there with her straight back, reflecting her stubbornness.
"Clap clap clap..."
Jiang Yunchu led the applause, and his eyes, which had been calm just now, were now filled with admiration.
Yes, human heart.
