The Sweet Little Fulang of the Farming Family

Zhao Chuchu was meticulously raised since childhood. Relying on her adoptive mother's doting and wealth, she indulged in idleness, eating, drinking, and merry-making, visiting brothels, and tea...

Chapter 533 Good and Evil Are Relative

"So, parents must educate their children well from a young age. Sir, this is the student's point of view."

Jiao Yu nodded, his face expressionless. He glanced at everyone in the room and asked, "Does anyone else agree or object?"

"Jiao Yu, I believe that human nature is evil at birth." Someone stood up to refute.

"If human nature is inherently good, why does the imperial court need to enact laws, severely punish criminals, and constrain the people? Our Great Sheng Dynasty boasts simple folk customs and a prosperous nation, yet some nomadic people still live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood, even cannibalism, bringing out the evil in people to its fullest. If human nature is inherently good, are laws and education necessary?"

As this student's voice fell, other students began to resign generously.

Jiao Yu never took sides from beginning to end, but just watched them debate quietly.

An hour passed quickly after this debate.

Those who stood up to debate were all students and scholars.

Jiao Yu frowned, glanced at the informal students, and his gaze fixed on the figure of a young man.

"Chen Ci, come and talk about your point of view."

After Jiao Yu finished speaking, the classroom fell silent for a moment.

"Who is Shen Ci? I've never heard of him."

"I know. He's an informal student. I heard he's mute."

"What opinions can an informal student have? He's also mute. Even if he gestures, we can't understand him."

Shen Ci slowly stood up. The young man was dressed in a green shirt, with a tall and thin figure, like a poplar. He was extremely handsome, and everyone was amazed at the sight of him.

It's just a pity that this person is mute.

Ye Qingyue's gaze also fell on the young man.

"Chen Ci, do you have your own opinion?" Jiao Yu asked.

Being stared at by so many people, Shen Ci, who usually doesn't like socializing, felt a little uncomfortable, but he remained calm.

He nodded.

Jiao Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Sir, I know you can't speak. Please write down your opinions."

At this time, Lu Ying raised her hand.

"Sir, students can understand sign language. Can you let Shen Ci sign and I will translate?"

Shen Ci and Jiao Yu both looked at Lu Ying in surprise.

Chen Ci didn't know when Lu Ying would learn sign language. He remembered that when they were together before, Chen Ci would need to gesture for a long time to say some things, and Lu Ying would have to guess and guess for a long time before she understood.

However, he thought about it again and realized that there didn't seem to be many obstacles in his recent communication with Lu Ying.

Could it be that Lu Ying has been learning sign language?

Why?

Before Shen Ci had time to think about it, Jiao Yu had already spoken.

"Oh, that would be great. Shen Ci, do you agree?"

Shen Ci naturally agreed.

Shen Ci stood there, gesturing with his slender fingers. Lu Ying's eyes fell on him, identifying his movements and translating. Her voice was as clear and sweet as an oriole.

"Students believe that good and evil are neither definitive nor opposed, but rather coexist. For example, a thief goes on a robbery and leaves behind a gold ingot on the way. This gold is then found by a poor man who uses it to buy medicine for his mother's illness, saving her life. So, is this robbery good or evil?"

"So, good and evil are not separate; they intergrow and grow together. For example, if one needs to kill an innocent person to save countless others, then should one kill or not? Is killing evil or good? And is not killing good or evil?"

"A newborn baby's mind is still undeveloped and has no idea of ​​good or evil."

“…”

"To sum up, students believe that the good and evil of human nature are relative and not absolute."
