As they approached, Ning He reached out to hug Qian Lin, but was stopped by He Shaochuan, whose eyes were a little cold.

"Stop pampering him. He's so young and can say anything!"

It was the first time Ning He saw He Shaochuan so angry. She asked inexplicably, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry with the child?"

As soon as Ning He opened his mouth, He Shaochuan's momentum instantly weakened a lot. He explained, "He told the girl that he would give her something delicious tomorrow. I asked him if he could make it. He actually said that he would let you make it when he got home."

As he spoke, He Shaochuan glanced at Qianlin unhappily: "At such a young age, you're already thinking about how to order your mother around. What will you be like when you grow up?"

Ning He couldn't help laughing after hearing this. She reached out and took Qian Lin from He Shaochuan's arms, put him down, and patted his head with a smile.

"Did Linbao make any new friends today?"

Qianlin nodded: "It's a little girl. Her family has nothing to eat. I told her that I have eaten a lot of delicious food and will bring it to her tomorrow to try."

After saying that, Qianlin looked at Ning He cautiously and asked, "Mom, will you blame me?"

"What can I blame you for?" Ning He asked with a smile.

Qianlin hesitated for a long time before saying, "It's my fault that I agreed to someone else so easily."

Ning He bent down and squatted in front of Qian Lin, looking him in the eye, and asked gently, "Mom asks you, Lin Bao promised others something, can Lin Bao do it himself?"

Qianlin frowned, looking troubled: "I don't know how to do it, can you teach me, mom?"

Ning He nodded: "Linbao wants to learn, of course mom is willing to teach."

Qianlin finally breathed a sigh of relief, a smile spread across his face: "Then I can do it!"

"Linbao has promised others and is willing to make something for her. So how can mommy blame Linbao?" Ning He smiled and took Qianlin's hand.

"Come on, mom will teach you!"

"Okay!" The mother and son happily went into the kitchen.

Ning Chen's laughter sounded behind He Shaochuan: "It seems that being a mother is really attractive!"

He Shaochuan shook his head helplessly. Who said it wasn't?

Ning He taught Qian Lin how to make a simple snack suitable for children, pear paste lollipops.

She specifically asked He Shaochuan to peel some small bamboo sticks, and then she and Qianlin peeled the pears, cut them into pieces, rubbed out the pear juice, and put loquat leaves, monk fruit, Fritillaria cirrhosa, red dates, rock sugar, and tangerine peel into a large pot and boiled them together.

Simmer over low heat until the juice thickens. Without a mold, Ning He had to pour the cooked pear paste onto an iron plate, shape it into round shapes, place bamboo sticks on them one by one, and let them cool.

Qianlin's eyes were full of curiosity as he looked at the caramel-colored candy. He kept asking, "Mom, is this a lollipop? It's so magical. It even has a bamboo stick."

Ning He smiled and said, "You can eat it after it cools down."

Ning He asked Qian Lin to go play for a while, but Qian Lin refused and preferred to stay here and watch the sugar cool and solidify.

As soon as it solidified, he could take the candy and share it with his new friends.

Thinking of this, Qianlin's eyes lit up with excitement.

Ning's mother came in to prepare lunch. She drove Ning He out of the kitchen, and the two of them stayed in the kitchen and refused to come out.

Ning He had no choice but to return to his room.

Unexpectedly, He Shaochuan was also in the room. She sighed and said deliberately, "Oh, some people said nice things and took full responsibility for all the big and small things today, but now they are hiding in the room without saying a word."

He Shaochuan naturally heard the hypocrisy in Ning He's words. He walked forward, stood in front of Ning He and looked at her.

Ning He felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, and asked suddenly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

He Shaochuan then told Ning He what happened today: "Brother said that it was you who suggested to drive the mother and son away?"

Ning He responded: "Yes, what's wrong?"

He Shaochuan thought it was wrong no matter what he thought, so he asked again: "Did that man come to your house to look for you just now?"

Otherwise, Ye Rong would not have stopped Wang Ju and agreed to move out.

Seeing Ning He nod, He Shaochuan asked nervously: "What did you talk about?"

Ning He looked at him with a smile: "We are just catching up, why are you so nervous?"

"Reminiscing about the past?" He Shaochuan frowned, "What past relationship do you have with him to reminisce about?"

If it were the Ning He from before, there would be nothing wrong with talking about the past.

But she was not, He Shaochuan knew, she had never had any contact with Ye Rong before, and it was even more impossible for her to have anything to talk about.

Unless Ning He has some plans.

But when he thought of Ning He meeting that man behind his back, he felt bad.

Ning He waved his hand: "Well, this is a secret between him and me anyway, why are you asking so many questions?"

He Shaochuan stretched out his hand to hold Ning He's shoulders, staring at her with burning eyes and said, "Ning He was stupid before, are you stupid too? A grown man with hands and feet still wants to spend a woman's money. This man is not a good guy!"

Ning He raised the corner of her lips into a slight smile, and she stared at him leisurely.

As soon as He Shaochuan finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and Ning He grabbed his fox tail on the spot.

"Okay, you finally admitted it. The letter that Ye Rong sent to the army was really blocked by you." Ning He narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

He Shaochuan cleared his throat and said, "Yes, it's me."

He admitted it straightforwardly.

Ning He snorted in annoyance: "How dare you admit it! Why didn't you tell me about this?"

How could He Shaochuan tell Ning He? He didn't doubt Ning He at that time. He just saw that Ning He was caring more and more about this family, and he didn't want another man to destroy their small family.

"Ninghe, I do this for our family."

"Who doesn't want to be with their family?!" Ning He glared at him and said, "Do you know that I almost exposed myself in front of Ye Rong just now? Because you didn't tell me that he wrote me a letter."

He Shaochuan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Ning He was angry because of this.

Ning He was so angry that she sat down on the bed. She said to He Shaochuan, "Come here!"

He Shaochuan felt a little guilty after hearing what she said. He walked up to Ning He and coaxed her in a low voice: "I was wrong. I won't hide it from you next time."

"There will be a next time?" Ning He widened his eyes.

He Shaochuan shook his head: "No more!"

Ning He sighed and finally told He Shaochuan about his plan.

It is true that they built schools, but the reason they built them was not to make money, but so that the children in the village would not have to get up early and walk to the county town to go to school, and they would not charge a penny.

The reason why Ning He tricked Ye Rong into raising the 30,000 yuan was that he wanted him to use the 30,000 yuan to write off the money or favors he owed to the Ning family.

And once Ning He gets the 30,000 yuan, he will not take a penny and will use it all to build the school.

In this era, 30,000 yuan is not a small sum of money. It is enough to make Ye Rong and his mother go bankrupt and become homeless.
