Mu Jingzhe felt that she was still young. She'd only turned 20 years old that year. Even if she raised these kids for another ten years, she would only be 30 years old.
By then, the five kids would be more or fewer adults and wouldn't need her anymore. She could then consider leaving.
Shao Nan blurted out in surprise, "Barring accidents, you're not allowed to leave."
He was spooked after seeing her leave once. Now that Mu Jingzhe had returned and given them hope, he didn't dare have his hopes dashed again.
After saying that, he felt that his tone wasn't very nice, so he added awkwardly, "We'll treat you well. When we grow up, we'll be filial to you and ensure you lead a good life."
"That's right," Shao Xi added. "We may be burdens now, but we'll all amount to something in the future. We'll make sure you wear the finest clothes and most expensive jewelry in the future."
