Chapter 5 Waste
The woman put down the knitting work in her hands, and looked at the two children in shabby clothes distressedly, a flash of understanding flashed in her eyes, but she was quickly buried by the woman, and the woman waved to Ye Jige and Ye Chenli, signaling They come.

Ye Chenli and Ye Jige didn't hesitate, they came to the woman's arms, quietly feeling the warmth from the woman.

"Ge'er, Li'er, how did you go for the test today?" Ning Yiyao's gentle voice came from above their heads.

Ye Jige frowned slightly. Today, she was bullied by those children just because she went to the crazy temple for a test, because the test results of Ye Jige and Ye Chenli were still trash as usual.

Ye Chenli and Ye Jige were silent, they knew how high the woman in front of them expected of them, but the reality was often cruel.

Without getting an answer, Ning Yiyao knew what the result would be, sighed lowly and said, "Ge'er, Li'er, don't be discouraged, we will go to the test next year."

"Mother, we won't test anymore." Ye Jige said softly, afraid of hurting the fragile woman in front of her.

The annual test costs a lot of money, and the money is the hard-earned money saved up day and night by the weak woman in front of them. They don't want to squander the money anymore.

Ning Yiyao's body froze, her face changed ever-changingly, she didn't know whether it was disappointment with Ye Jige and the others or hatred for her cowardice.

"Ge'er, Li'er, have you been bullied by the children in the village again?" Ning Yiyao didn't reprimand Ye Jige, but asked sadly.

"Mother, no." Ye Jige replied cautiously.

"Ge'er, when did you learn to lie? If you weren't bullied, what's the matter with your shabby clothes? Cough..." Ning Yiyao's tone suddenly became serious, with a look of anger on her face.

Because she was too excited, Ning Yiyao coughed suddenly.

Their clothes were discarded by others, and it was Ning Yiyao who took them back and sewed them up for them to wear.

Seeing this, Ye Chenli immediately said, "Mother, it's Lier's fault. Lier was naughty and wanted to go up a tree to pick some fruit for her sister, but accidentally fell down and tore our clothes." Ning Yiyao patted lightly on the back.

Ning Yiyao was taken aback for a moment, then nervously looked Ye Chenli up and down, "Is there any injury?" She held Ye Chenli's small shoulders with both hands.

Ye Chenli's bruised shoulder felt pain, she frowned slightly, but quickly covered it up, Ye Chenli shook her head, unwilling to let the woman in front of her worry.

"Li'er, don't be so naughty next time." Ning Yiyao hugged the two children in front of her in distress.

There was silence in the room, just when Ye Chenli and the others thought that Ning Yiyao had fallen asleep, they didn't expect a few crystal clear tears to fall down and slap on the dirty faces of Ye Chenli and Ye Jige. The teardrops seemed to burn the hearts of Ye Jige and Ye Chenli, making Ye Chenli and Ye Jige feel more distressed than ever.

"Mother, don't cry." Ye Jige wiped away the tears from Ning Yiyao's face with her small palm.

"Ge'er, it's my mother who's sorry for you, it's my mother's incompetence." Ning Yiyao had a look of hatred on her face, she hated herself for being cowardly.

Blame her for expecting too much of that man's love, that's why she followed that man's side, but she didn't want to, that man was a fickle person from beginning to end, and he was only greedy for her appearance at the beginning!

Ning Yiyao was originally a woman who sold herself in a brothel, and was favored by many dignitaries in the imperial capital, but she didn't want to be fascinated by that man in the end, so she ended up regretting it now.

"Mother, Ge'er and brother will work hard to become stronger and protect mother well." Ye Jige said seriously.

Ye Chenli also clenched Ning Yiyao's rough hands, comforting Ning Yiyao.

Ning Yiyao stared blankly at the two children who had suddenly matured in front of her, feeling uncomfortable.

It was she who failed to give them a better life, but made them so sensible!
Tears flowed uncontrollably again.
