When she first started the nursery, Mu Yangling had agreed with everyone that she would raise the orphans who were not yet 14 years old. The fields under their names would be planted by her, and the harvest would all belong to her as a reward for raising them.
After turning 14 years old, the fields would be returned to them in the spring of the next year and they would then leave the nursery. Their relationship would be dissolved.
Teacher Liu said, "At 14 years old, one is old enough to support a family. But it will be very difficult. They obviously don't want to leave."
Teacher Liu's gaze followed the children. He sighed slightly and said, "Miss Mu, these children are all very obedient. What I mean is, if possible, let's keep them for a while longer. Even when spring comes next year, they have only learned craftsmanship for less than a year. They don't even know how to read properly yet."
