Chapter 340 - 340: Let Them Go Down the Mountain



Therefore, he was picking them one by one. At the same time, she listened to Madam Qian’s gossip.

“That’s why I heard about this.”

“Buddhist temples like the Thunder Light Temple will take in children without parents all year round, but not all of them are willing to become monks. Some of them will grow up and be assigned to nearby villages to get married and have children.”

“The court has a rule that the temple will release a group of people down the mountain every five years.”

“This year is the year when the temple will release people down the mountain.”

“In the past, there were quite a few people who came down the mountain. There were even children who were put out for adoption. As long as they were willing to be adopted, they would go to the county government to register their household registration and would not have to return to the temple.”

“Most children don’t want to be monks. After all, monks have to be vegetarian and can’t get married.”

In other words, unless one really had a Buddhist affinity or was willing to become a monk, the temple was actually a large-scale shelter, and it was the kind of formal shelter issued by the imperial court.

Ye Muyu was enlightened. However, she agreed with the children’s choice and the temple’s practice. This respected human rights. They could not just go to the temple to be a monk in order to live.

Of course, the children who were taken in by the temple must have needed to work since they were young. The temple could also afford to raise these children, which was why such a situation had occurred.

No matter what, it was a good thing.

Ye Muyu treated it as gossip and did not take it to heart.

After picking a basket of peaches and about 100 grams of mountain peppers, Ye Muyu brought the children home.

When she got home, Madam Hu took the peaches to wash them.

Chu Jin followed Ye Muyu into the kitchen.

“Mother, I’m going to do my homework first. I don’t have much homework today, so I want to draw another Zhuge Lock later.”

Ye Muyu put the handkerchief with the mountain peppers on the chopping board. Thinking of Teacher Lin’s words, she was indeed worried.

Seeing that there was no one else around, she squatted down and looked at Chu Jin at the same level. Her eyes were filled with gentleness. “Lil’ Jin, I have something to ask you.”

“Mother, ask away.” Chu Jin looked at her in confusion, but he didn’t think too much about it.

“Do you have any friends?” Ye Muyu asked.

“Friends?” Chu Jin thought for a while. It seemed like there really wasn’t any.

He shook his head. “Mother, no, I have to study every day or play at home.”

“Not even in the school?”

“In the school?” Chu Jin shook his head. “I don’t agree with them.”

“Hmm? Why?” Ye Muyu knew that the key was coming. She looked into his eyes, afraid that she would ignore what the child was thinking.

Chu Jin’s tender face subconsciously showed a hint of unhappiness, and he even frowned.

“I don’t get along with them,” Chu Jin said.

Ye Muvu’s heart skipped a beat. This was exactly what Teacher Lin had said. If Tang Bao had a strong personality and was spoiled, other sensible children must be in the village school.

Moreover, Lil’ Jin was only five years old. How could he lose his childlike interest? He did not even have a little friend and did not interact with others. This was a sign of mental illness.

“How could that be? Mother remembers that you used to play with the boys in the village, Huzi, Dazhuang. Did you not have time to play with them?” “No, Mother, I just don’t want to play with them anymore.”

“They always like to curse. I even heard them say bad things about Mother.” Chu Jin was a little angry when he said this..
