As he spoke, Su Hua glanced gratefully at Su Sanlang and said,

“We’ve also dressed warmly. In the past, my brain was not good. In many memories, I was only hungry and cold. I was disliked by my grandparents and bullied by my brothers. Now, my brother and I have been cured. We can read and have the chance to learn. Perhaps the world will never tolerate our father, but in my heart, he is the best father. He will always do the right thing. I will always be proud to be his son.”

With that, Su Hua turned to look at Su Sanlang and said firmly, “Father, thank you.”

Su Sanlang’s eyes were red with tears.

At this moment, Su Chong said, “My answer is the same as Hua’s. I also think that my father did the right thing. I don’t care what others say about my father. Even if the entire world says that my father is wrong, I still think that he’s right. As his son, it’s enough that I enjoy his kindness. As long as Father protects us, even if the world says that he’s bad, we’ll still think that he’s good. On the other hand, if he doesn’t care about us, even if the world praises him, we’ll still think that he’s bad.”

Su Chong also looked at Su Sanlang gratefully. He smiled and said loudly, “Father, thank you and mother.”

Su Sanlang suppressed his tears and smiled. He would die without regrets.

His heart felt very, very warm.

Sun Ziqian was amazed and impressed by Su Chong and Su Hua’s words. It was such simple logic, but how many people in the world could understand it?

Sun Ziqian could not help but observe Lin Pingsheng’s expression, but Lin Pingsheng’s expression did not change at all. Sun Ziqian could not tell anything.

After answering, Su Chong and Su Hua quietly looked at Lin Pingsheng, waiting for his final judgment.

Lin Pingsheng looked at Su Chong and said coldly, “Don’t you think your little brother doesn’t respect you by answering first?”

Su Chong did not hesitate to say, “I don’t think so. My brother respects me very much. We are brothers in arms. Even if we will argue over differences in opinions when we grow up, we will never care about such a trivial matter. Besides, Hua is much smarter than me. He answers better than I. I will only feel proud because he is my brother.”

Su Chong smiled at Su Hua after saying that.

Su Hua smiled back.

They were brothers in arms, they shared the same blood, and they were close enough that they wouldn’t care for such a small thing.

Sun Ziqian looked at Su Chong and Su Hua. He was already planning that if Teacher Lin refused to accept them, he would have to use some connections to find another school. He would let them enter the school directly without facing the teacher’s inspection.

After Su Chong replied, Lin Pingsheng said nothing.

Madam Chen came to make tea and retreated.

Lin Pingsheng looked at the two brothers with firm gazes. Their faces were very calm, but in fact, they were very nervous. He said calmly, “Bring me tea. Come to school tomorrow.”

At this moment, Su Chong and Su Hua finally looked happy.

They immediately smiled and went to serve tea to Lin Pingsheng.

“Teacher above, accept my three bows.”

Zhou Heng had taught them this.

After the tea, they respectfully called him Teacher and bowed three more times.

Lin Pingsheng responded faintly and said sternly,

“Well, get up. I’ll take you in as students for the time being, but if in the next year I find that you’re not thinking and haven’t made any progress in your learning, you won’t be able to pass my test. Our fate will be over after that year. You’ll only be able to enroll in other schools. I won’t teach you another word.”

Lin Pingsheng would not change the rules for anyone.

He currently felt that Su Chong and Su Hua were fine, but no one could tell what would happen in the future. He was willing to give Su Chong and Su Hua a chance to prove themselves, but he would definitely not tolerate them unconditionally.

A year was more than enough time.

Lin Pingsheng’s sternness was felt by Su Chong and Su Hua.

They nodded solemnly in agreement.

They would definitely seize this rare opportunity to enroll. No matter how it ended, they would not have any regrets.

Sun Ziqian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. “Well, if there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave. Goodbye.”

Lin Pingsheng nodded.

Su Sanlang looked at Lin Pingsheng and bowed gratefully. “Thank you, sir, for being willing to teach them.”

Lin Pingsheng looked at Su Sanlang and said calmly, “There’s no such thing as absolute right and wrong in this world. Right and wrong are in our hearts and have nothing to do with outsiders.”

He didn’t care if Su Sanlang understood or not. With that, he turned and left.

Sun Ziqian sighed and said, “What Teacher Lin said makes sense. There is no absolute right or wrong in this world. As long as we have a clear conscience, it’s best.”

As for who was right and who was wrong, what did it matter?

Sun Ziqian brought Su Sanlang and the two children out of the school. Sun Ziqian wanted to invite Su Sanlang and his sons back to the Sun residence. Sun Ziqian said, “Everything is settled, and we can rest assured. The little doctor must be anxious to wait for news. Let’s go and tell her the good news.”

Su Sanlang politely declined. “Thank you for your help, Master Sun. Please tell Xiaolu that we won’t be going. We’ll part ways here. I’ll take the children home.”

With that, Su Sanlang took Su Chong and Su Hua home.

Sun Ziqian looked at the backs of the three of them and muttered enviously, “He’s really lucky to have such good children.”

Thinking of his children, his expression could not help but soften. In time, he believed that his children would also be healthy. They had been sensible since they were young, and he was also a blessed person.

Thinking, Sun Ziqian happily returned home.

Su Sanlang was also in a good mood. He brought Su Chong and Su Hua to buy some ink before returning home.

When he returned home, he shared this good news with Madam Zhao and Chen Hu’s family.

It was a good start, and everyone was happy.

Su Chong and Su Hua happily shared what they had seen and heard in school with Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng listened quietly and said a word or two from time to time.

Madam Zhao pulled Su Xiaoling back into the house and prepared to make book bags for Su Chong and Su Hua.

Su Xiaoling’s needlework skills were personally taught by Madam Zhao. They were very good.

A simple and elegant white orchid was embroidered on the book bag. The stitches on the four sides were fine. It was obvious that it could be used for many years without breaking.

She embroidered an orchid on Su Chong’s, and two orchids on Su Hua’s to distinguish them.

Madam Zhao said gently, “This way, they will know which one is theirs.”

Thinking that the two children would be able to enter school tomorrow, Madam Zhao was overjoyed.

Su Xiaoling’s eyes lit up. She suddenly said, “Mother, I have a better idea. I’ll ask Little Brother Heng to write the names of Big Brother and Second Brother. I’ll embroider their names. Little Brother Heng’s handwriting is beautiful.”

When Madam Zhao heard this, she also felt that this was an excellent idea.
